In the last chapter of Dragon Ball, our heroes were ambushed by the desert bandit Yamcha and his sidekick Pu’ar, but Yamcha was outmatched by Bulma’s attractive aura. Will Yamcha make a comeback and steal our hero’s treasures, or will he yet again fall victim to his own fear of beautiful women?

Goku, Bulma, and Oolong begin traveling across the desert in Oolong’s emergency capsule, which happens to transform into a double-decker camper. Night has fallen on the desert, but that just means that our heroes have to be extra careful not to run into Yamcha and Pu’ar.

“If you had a capsule like this, why didn’t you say so sooner?” asks Bulma.

“It was supposed to be for emergencies,” responds Oolong.

(And losing all of your capsules before crossing the desert wasn’t an emergency?)

Bulma asks if the camper has a bathroom, so Oolong shows her where it is.

“It’s so tiny! It doesn’t have a real bathtub!” complains Bulma, “You better not peek, piggie!”

While Bulma is showering, Oolong asks Goku why he and Bulma are traveling around the world together, so Goku tells Oolong about the Dragon Balls and how they grant a wish to whoever gathers all seven of them. Little did they know, Yamcha and Pu’ar were right outside the camper window listening to the whole conversation. Yamcha motions to Pu’ar to retreat to a nearby tree.

“Did you hear that?” asks Yamcha.

“Oh yeah!” responds Pu’ar.

“I wish to never be afraid of girls again!” shouts Yamcha. Pu’ar is shocked that Yamcha would rather wish for that than to rule the world or for boundless wealth. Yamcha explains that he can always steal all the money he wants, and he has no use for the world, but overcoming his fear of women is more important to him especially since he dreams of getting married.

Bulma returns from her shower and complains about the PJ’s Oolong gave her. (They are obviously too small.) Now Bulma has no choice but to sleep naked. Oolong offers some juice to Goku and Bulma, so both of them drink it. Bulma heads up the stairs to go to sleep and warns Goku and Oolong to stay downstairs…or else! No sooner does Bulma head upstairs than Goku falls asleep.

“It seems that the sleeping potion I put in the juice has taken effect,” thinks Oolong, “Now I can do whatever I want with that chick.”

Oolong heads up the stairs to the second floor. Following right behind, Yamcha and Pu’ar break into the camper. Yamcha sees Goku fast asleep, so he orders Pu’ar to transform into Goku and lure Oolong and Bulma outside.

As Oolong is in the middle of violating Bulma’s privacy, he hears something coming up the stairs. He looks down the stairs and sees who he thinks is Goku. Oolong quickly covers up Bulma and transforms into her (a short, chubby version of her).

“Goku” tells “Bulma” that there is something he wants to tell her, so he leads her outside. Once they get away, Yamcha heads up the stairs to find the dragon balls. He finds a blanket with lumpy mounds underneath and assumes this is where they are hiding the dragon balls.

Meanwhile, Oolong disguised as Bulma asks Pu’ar disguised as Goku how much longer they have to walk. Then Pu’ar finally reveals his true identity. Oolong surprises Pu’ar by revealing his true identity.

“Wait a minute,” says Pu’ar, “Don’t tell me…Lord Yamcha’s in danger!”

As it turns out, those mounds under the bed sheets weren’t the dragon balls – they were Bulma’s slender curves. Yamcha now walks away from the camper super dazed, so Pu’ar has to help steady his walk.

The next morning, Goku wakes up to find that Oolong had stayed up all night keeping lookout for Yamcha. Bulma comes down the stairs and asks Oolong if he got her clothes cleaned.

“As if I had nothing else to do,” says Oolong.

“What do you mean ‘nothing else to do’,” shouts Bulma.

“Oolong was standing guard all night,” explains Goku, “Don’t you remember? That guy from yesterday?”

“Oh, you mean that guy!” says Bulma, “Well, if you see him, send him right in!”

“I guess ignorance is bliss,” retorts Oolong.

Oolong tells Bulma that there’s something she can wear in the chest on the second floor. Bulma returns in a bunny maid outfit and tells Oolong this had better be a joke.

“Forgive me if I don’t feel like the heroine of a quest when I’m dressed like this!” says Bulma.

“That didn’t seem to stop you from putting it on,” retorts Oolong.

Bulma orders Oolong to start driving despite getting a lack of sleep.

Meanwhile, Yamcha is spying on them from the top of his cave. (He can see them from that far? And how did he have time to go all the way back to his cave anyway?)

As Yamcha pulls up to the camper, he whips out his panzer faust and fires it at the left tire. The camper is now immobile, and Bulma has been knocked out. Now she won’t get in the way of Yamcha trying to rob them. Goku hops out of the camper and asks Yamcha what he thinks he is doing.

“Hand over the dragon balls peacefully and you won’t get hurt again!” orders Yamcha.

“I’m givin’ you…nothing'” taunts Goku, while sticking his tongue out.

Goku charges at Yamcha. Since Goku lost their last fight, Yamcha is confident that he will win again easily, but as Goku says, “Yesterday, I was hungry, but right now my stomach’s full!”

Yamcha moves in for a punch, but Goku blocks and returns with a punch of his own. Yamcha pulls a roundhouse kick, but Goku jumps out of the way and returns with a kick right to Yamcha’s face.

The desert bandit pulls out a mirror and notices that he lost a tooth. Feeling enraged and embarrassed, Yamcha runs away. He returns to his car and discusses with Pu’ar a new strategy.

“They were saying that all seven of these balls must be together, right?” Then we should stay on their tails and steal the balls after they’ve gathered all seven! Ha, I’m so smart!”

With their camper destroyed, Goku, Bulma, and Oolong now have to return to crossing the desert on foot, but to their surprise, Yamcha pulls up right beside them.

“We thought it all over, and y’know, the whole mess was really our fault,” explains Yamcha, “So here, take this capsule as an apology!”

Yamcha tosses them a capsule that turns into a small car, and then he drives away.

“There better not be a bomb planted here,” says Oolong. He asks Goku if he thinks it was a little too good to be true, but Goku says you just gotta trust people.

Little do they know, Yamcha has put a tracker in their car, meaning that he can follow them until they acquire the last two dragon balls, and then Yamcha will swipe them. But will Yamcha succeed, or will he get another tooth knocked out? Find out on the next exciting installment of Dragon Ball!
