Summary

Krillin and Launch at the market

Goku and Bulma find the Kame House to get a submarine. Master Roshi is happy to see that Bulma was there. Krillin and Launch are at a market to get groceries. While grocery shopping, Launch sneezes and starts attacking people. Since they took the submarine with them, Goku and Bulma will have to wait. Goku and Turtle get seafood and find Turtle's son. Master Roshi gives Bulma a lot of drinks to make her go to the bathroom. The Red Ribbon Army are still tracking Goku, with Blue also threatening to kill anyone who fails to bring him a full report in two hours. They eventually track Goku to Kame House and they think Kame House is his base. General Blue sends a soldier to go look for it. Blue also privately vows while crushing a flower that he will make sure he is not the third regiment to be wiped out by Goku, ominously stating he intends to prove to Goku that "nothing lasts forever." Meanwhile, Staff Officer Black and Commander Red are talking about Goku, with Black speculating that Goku is working for another party, only for Red to angrily shoot his guess down and insult him by claiming his second-rate speculations won't find him the Dragon Balls.

Master Roshi

Using the Micro Band, Master Roshi becomes smaller and, pretending to watch TV, goes to the bathroom, to spy on Bulma. He accidentally gets flushed down the toilet. Master Roshi makes it back, and Launch and Krillin return with the submarine. When Krillin looked at the map, he said the Dragon Ball was close to a pirates' treasure. Master Roshi then told the story. Pirates fought each other, because of the fighting, all of the treasure went overboard. Bulma, Goku, and Krillin leave to get the treasure and the Dragon Ball. The soldier sees the island and reports it. General Blue thinks that Master Roshi is a scientist and the one who built the Dragon Radar. Meanwhile, Goku is confused as to how they can expect to go underwater to find the Dragon Ball when they are in an airplane, with Bulma admitting that it was capable of transforming into a submarine as well, with Goku calling it an airfish.
