A Pig's Harem

The duo continued their journey, neither talking about the matter with Roshi. Bulma normally would've insisted, but she liked Goku and knew nothing about martial arts, nor his situation, so she decided to let it go and if Goku was making a mistake, then it was his to make and he'll deal with it. Instead, they just talked about their lives, with Goku sharing how it was to live in the wild, compared to Bulma's genius rich girl experiences.

It was the following day, after Bulma got to experience another morning wood pressed against, that they reached the village that was their destination according to the radar. Bulma looked around as they walked inside, confused. "Why is this place abandoned?"

Goku shook his head. "It's not, everybody is hiding. I guess they heard your car and quickly rushed into their homes…"

"Why would they be afraid of us?"

"Maybe they had a bad experience with travelers, or they think we're someone else…"

"Somebody is terrorizing this village?"

"I don't know, let's ask them." Goku turned from Bulma and decided to approach one of the homes, knocking on the door. "Hey, we just want to ask what is going on, we mean you no harm." Goku shouted after being ignored.

He sensed someone cautiously approaching the door, and was prepared. When the door opened, with an axe heading towards his head, it simply stopped short, blocked by Goku's telekinesis and terrifying the man holding the axe. "You should be careful with that, you could've hurt someone!" Goku chided.

"I think that was the point, Goku." Bulma said as she approached.

The man saw how relaxed the two were and was confused. "You're not Oolong?"

"Why would you attack tea merchants?" Bulma asked with a frown. Sure they could be annoying, but you could get a free sample sometimes, which is nice. Not axe worthy at all, aside from that one… Bulma shuddered at the memory. Never again.

"No, Oolong is a vicious monster! He comes to our village and demands maidens for his growing harem, threatening to destroy us." An old lady exclaimed from behind them. Goku was already aware, but it as then that Bulma noticed the rest of the villagers left their homes to see what is going on, as there weren't any sounds of battle and they got curious.

"That's awful!" Goku said, to Bulma's agreement. "Don't worry, I'll rescue them."

"How can you, you're just a kid!" The axe man asked, his daughter peeking curiously from behind him. Goku only vaguely remembered specific details about the original anime, so he didn't recall her at all, but he thought that perhaps she's meant to be the next offering and thus the reason why her father reacted so aggressively.

"Don't worry about it, I'm strong." Goku reassured before turning to Bulma. "You should stay here, it shouldn't be long."

"No, I'm coming with you!" Bulma immediately rejected. "If something happened to these poor girls, they might not be comfortable with a boy. It's not like I have anything to worry about with you around, right?"

"Ahh… Fine, whatever…" Goku shrugged. It's not like it really was dangerous, anyway.

"Grea- What are you doing?!" Bulma shouted as Goku lifted her in a bridal carry. "You can fly?!" The question changed after only a moment, as Bulma was looking around in amazement.

"Oh, I haven't mentioned that?" Goku asked as they were flying above the woods, towards where Goku sensed the Ki signatures that he believed to be Oolong and the girls.

"No, you did not!"

"Oh, it's one of the basic applications of external Ki manipulation. It's quite fun too…"

"Yeah, definitely looks like it…" Bulma muttered, watching the trees pass under them. "Though this is nice too."

Goku hummed in acknowledgement before slowly landing in front of what appeared to be a palace. "I think they're probably inside…"

"Wow, this place is huge!" Bulma exclaimed. "This Oolong must be really terrifying, no way he honestly earned enough to have this place."

They walked into the building and silently went through the corridors until Bulma decided to try and tease Goku. "You're so quiet, don't tell me you're jealous! A huge place, lots of money and your very own harem, it's a guy's dream isn't it?"

Goku huffed. "I'm too strong, getting it all by force is too easy. I can get a harem without it."

Bulma tsk'd. He was right, but she hoped to get a bigger reaction out of him.

Goku on the other hand was confused. "I thought you'd be more annoyed at me." He confessed.

"For what?" Bulma seemed to be confused as well and thought about what he said. "Wait, you're talking about the harem comment? You were just teasing me back, weren't you? Huh, your grandpa didn't tell you?"

"Tell me what?" Goku frowned. Was it some common sense of the world that he didn't know about, or was there some reason for Gohan to not mention it to him?

"Harems aren't common, but you see a guy with two or three girls occasionally. I don't think you'll have any trouble picking up several girls…" Bulma said with a shrug.

"Really, and you're fine with that?" Goku's eyes were wide at the revelation. This was definitely not in the original show.

"I said it happens… Wait, me? Goku, I like you and all, but don't you think it's too soon for this kind of talk?" Bulma suddenly blushed. Talking about relationships was great, but it suddenly turned personal. But it was obvious that Goku wasn't going to give up. "Ugh, really? And we're doing this here? Fine! Yes, if we do end up doing this officially, I wouldn't mind other girls…"

"Really, you don't look like the type…" Goku said, wondering at the implications.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well, you're proud and stubborn, it's hard to imagine you fine with sharing a guy." Goku explained.

Bulma shrugged. "Well, I don't. I find it hot, actually."

Goku blinked. Was Bulma bi, or was it just some fetish she had? Didn't the original break off with Yamcha because he was unfaithful? This was definitely a different world then…

"I doubt other people accept it just because it's kinky, right?" Goku asked.

"Ah, I should probably explain that… You see, several centuries ago a monster only known as the Great Demon King tried to conquer Earth and destroy humanity. It nearly succeeded too, but a powerful martial artist sacrificed his life to defeat it. Many men died trying to fight the monster, so after it was gone, the King of Earth made harems legal to increase births. It wasn't popular at first, at least among women, but without it many women wouldn't have anyone to be with, so it was accepted. Now there are more humans so it's not necessary, but it became part of society. Besides, it's not like the numbers are balanced, there's still way more women than men, so it's easier to share when the guy is desirable enough."

Piccolo kills men, makes harems a thing? Truly a fantasy setting. Reborn into an overpowered Goku in a harem version of Dragon Ball? He definitely died, but he didn't think he had the positive karma to enjoy a wish-fulfillment afterlife like this…

If someone like Bulma accepted it, then Goku's early fantasies of having a harem would be easy! The only people who end up losing are people like Krillin and Vegeta, and fuck 'em. Or don't.

Bulma looked at Goku's perverted smile with amusement. She wasn't lying, the idea of being part of a harem was appealing to her, and Goku seemed to be on board. She hoped that the other girls would be into it as much as she was, but that remained to be seen…

Eventually they heard voices.

"Hey, where's the salted caramel chocolates I asked for?!"

"Come here and rub my feet!"

"I'm out of tampons you pig, go get me some before I force you to turn into a tampon and SOAK YOU IN MY BLOOD! You'd like that, wouldn't you?! That's the closest you'll ever get to having a chance at being near my pussy, you soggy bacon shit!"

Both Goku and Bulma stopped before the door, unsure on how to proceed. "I'm not sure who we're supposed to rescue…"

Bulma nodded. That did not sound like some monster raping innocent maidens. The last voice may have given a different impression, but it sounded feminine and unless it was a very specific fetish, one that Bulma did not want to know about, then the situation was definitely different to what they were expecting.

Eventually Goku opened the door, revealing a large living room with several girls and a very distressed pig person rushing around.

Approaching one of the girls, she was sitting on the couch reading a magazine, Goku asked. "Excuse me, what's going on here?"

The girl stopped reading and looked up, surprised to see a boy here. "Oh, we're just teaching a pathetic pig his place." She said with a bright smile.

"Ah, we came from the village, they said that the Oolong monster took their girls for his harem? Where's Oolong? We came so I can defeat it and rescue you." Goku explained.

"The pathetic pig is Oolong." The girl clarified. "He shapeshifts too look scary, but he's just a pushover in reality. He can't even keep it up for more than five minutes!"

"There's pills for that." Bulma said with a fierce blush.

"Not that! I'm not racist but I wouldn't let the pig touch me like that, the least he could do is take a different form if he wants to get any, but of course everything about him is pathetic so he can't shapeshift for more than five minutes!"

Goku nodded in acceptance. Oolong dropping out really screwed with him, and not in the way he hoped for. "Well, you don't seem like you need rescuing, but your families are worried about you. You should at least let them know that you're okay if you want to stay here, or you can take Oolong with you back to the village if you want to bully him there…"

"Wait a moment, what?" Oolong said, realizing that something was going on. "You aren't even suggesting to take them and leave me alone?!"

Goku eyed the pig strangely. Couldn't he just shapeshift and leave? Even if they take him to their village, nothing forces him to stay instead of returning here, it's not like his counterpart didn't try to escape. "I bet everything you earned is by scamming people with scary transformations. Besides, it looks like you are enjoying your situation…"

"I don't have a fetish like that!" Oolong rejected instantly, only for Goku to shrug indifferently.

"Can't we take him with us? His ability might come in handy." Bulma suggested and Oolong seemed oddly hopeful.

"Do you really want him with us?" Goku asked her, only to get a headshake a moment later after considering it. Bulma didn't want some pig with submission fetish around!

With that, the situation as resolved. The girl that they were talking with decided to return with them to the village to explain the situation, after which the families of the kidnapped girls went to confirm it. Apparently, the villagers liked Oolong's palace so much, they all decided to move.

When asked how they could thank the two of them, Bulma quickly showed them one of their Dragon Balls and explained that they were looking for them. An old lady easily handed away her precious family heirloom, and that was that.

After enjoying a night as guests in the village, where Goku amazed them all with his ability as the Great Devourer, the next day the two left and took Bulma's capsule boat to the river.
