Summary
The Turtle Hermit wants to know what these guys are doing here at his island, and the officer compliments the radar he invented, calling him doctor. "Doctor? Me?" The officer thinks he is playing dumb, and wants his troops to investigate. The Turtle Hermit asks who they are, and he says they are the Red Ribbon Army. The Turtle Hermit has heard of them: bad people, hate justice, etc. Then a soldier comes out of the house holding Lunch at gunpoint, and the Turtle Hermit asks why they came. The officer explains that the two Dragon Balls the kid had were tracked here on their radar. The Turtle Hermit asks Lunch if there are any Dragon Balls here, and she says they might be in the house.
After some more idle talk, the Turtle Hermit says he is going to fight them, and punches the officer hard in the gut. He kicks another guy in the face, and whacks another one with his staff. Next, the Turtle Hermit jumps up and kicks two guys at once, and then runs between two more and kicks one in the stomach while elbowing the other in the stomach. He then leaps up and elbows another guy in the back of the neck. Another soldier starts shooting at him with a machine gun, but the Turtle Hermit catches all the bullets, then kicks him.
There is only one dude left, and he has a gun to Lunch's head. As he threatens to kill her, Umigame comes along with a palm tree branch and starts tickling her nose. The dude is pissed about the "shit woman" sneezing on him, and then "Bad" Lunch gets pissed, breaks free, and uppercuts him. She starts swearing at him and kicking him while he is on the ground, and then gives him the finger as the Turtle Hermit pulls her away. Then they spot one last dude, and the Turtle Hermit asks him to take his knocked out friends away.
Meanwhile, General Blue leads Red Ribbon A Company, and they have entered a cave as they chase Goku and friends. Bulma notices they are gaining on them with their smaller boat, and a soldier wonders if they should fire a torpedo, but Blue thinks that would be unpleasant. And the cave might, uh, cave in. Blue's troops keep chasing them, until they surface. Goku thinks they are back outside, until Bulma explains otherwise and they run away. Blue's two subs surface, too, and as the troops chase them, a soldier tells Blue that B Company is on the radio. Blue cannot believe they have been wiped out. Goku stops, since he does not see why they are running when he can just beat them up... and so he decides to do so.
The soldiers are all called back, and Blue explains that this is no ordinary enemy. One guy thinks nothing of this brat, but Blue yells this is the same boy who wiped out Silver Company and White Company. The other members of his group, an old man and a woman, wiped out B Company. Goku thinks it strange nobody is coming, and so the three of them decide to move on. Blue says he can handle the five of them.
