A Town Under Siege

Arriving in the eerily silent Aru Village, Goku senses hidden villagers nearby and punches through the nearest door to investigate. He walks straight into an axe swing from Sherman Priest, whose blade simply shatters against the boy's skull. Convinced at first that Goku must be the shapeshifting demon Oolong who has been kidnapping the village girls, the priest eventually calms down and calls the other residents out of hiding.

A Deal for a Dragon Ball

Bulma asks whether anyone in town has seen a Dragon Ball, and an elderly woman admits she owns one. She agrees to hand it over on one condition: the travelers must drive Oolong out and bring the stolen daughters home. Since nobody knows where the demon lives, Bulma proposes a trap. Goku is stuffed into a dress and posed as Sherman Priest's daughter, the monster's next target, while the villagers clear out and wait.

The Demon Revealed

Oolong arrives that afternoon in the form of a hulking, grotesque bridegroom. Mistaking Goku's fidgeting for maidenly nerves, he shifts into the shape of a handsome young gentleman to win his bride over. The transformation convinces Bulma to burst out and throw herself at him instead, which briefly leaves Oolong weighing his options, until he glances over and spots Goku relieving himself standing up against a tree. Realizing he has been tricked, he rages and transforms into an enormous bull. Goku tears off the dress and squares up to fight.
