Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 268 The Uncrowned King in the Jungle
Sharing the grilled Cuttlefishmon with them were several other growing-stage Digimon and those that evolved into growing-stage Digimon who had gone to the orchard yesterday and were treated to a barbecue by Broly for Darkdramon.

And Palumon, with tropical flowers blooming on his head, was now gnawing on a tentacle of Cuttlefishmon that was thicker than his body. The way he ate was not pretty at all.

"King Gluttony, what are we going to do with this lake in the future?"

Flowermon was more elegant. When eating the tentacles of Squidwardmon, it knew to slice them and eat them bite by bite. It suddenly asked Broly about how to deal with the lake in the forest next to it.

"How to deal with what?"

Broly asked back, somewhat confused.

"This lake was previously occupied by the Cuttlefish Beast. Now that the Cuttlefish Beast has been defeated by you, this place now belongs to your territory."

Huaramon explained.

"As for the treatment of lake water, an important freshwater resource, will Lord Gluttonmon adopt the same model as Cuttlefishmon and charge a water fee?"

it asked.

Powerful Digimon occupy places where resources are produced. The more important the resource, the more Digimon that need it can be driven.

Often a powerful Digimon force will occupy a large number of resource production areas, and by controlling the resources, it will manage the Digimon living near the resource areas from top to bottom.

It is not easy for weak Digimon to survive in this world.

Even if it is in its growth stage, it is at most less likely to die than a juvenile Bigotry.

Sometimes, it has to take risks to obtain various supplies for those young big beasts.

After being fed two meals of mature Digimon data, Huaramon began to have the idea of ​​clinging to someone powerful.

Broly, who is definitely a mature King of Gluttony, is undoubtedly the best choice.

Not only did the other party not blame them for stealing the fruits, they also treated these weak Digimon to a barbecue.

Let me ask, which Digimon that can be called the king can be so kind to weak Digimon that it doesn't know?
So, even though Broly didn't say anything about accepting them, Huaramon had already consciously regarded himself as a Digimon under King Gluttonymon, and was considering arranging a resource production site.

"I have to pay for drinking water? How shabby! I'm not a cuttlefish beast."

Broly simply waved his hand and gave a [free] reply.

However, after thinking for a while, he added: "Water resources are very important. They are free, but they cannot be wasted, and they cannot pollute the water source. Well, all Digimon that need to use water must follow these two principles."

"Yes, King Gluttony."

Huaramon was very excited. The King of Gluttony in front of him was the rare King in the digital world.

. . . .

A few days later, a group of Digimon sneaked over to the forest lake and tried to get some water.

However, on the way to fetch water, their way was blocked by Huaramon and Pikyomon, along with a group of young Picomon.

"Haramon, Bikyomon, what are you doing?"

The leading Beetlemon looked at the two growing Digimon opposite with some caution, suspecting that Flowermon and Biyomon might be the subordinates of Squidwardmon.

"We are not hitting the water. Even if you are the subordinates of Cuttlefish Beast, we are not afraid of you."

Beetlemon said in a rather timid tone.

"We are not Cuttlefishmon's subordinates."

Hearing this, Bikyumon shook his head.

"We are the subordinates of the Gluttonous Beast King."

Hualamon replied.

"The Gluttonous Beast King?"

Beetlemon and Mochimon behind him were a little confused. They were a group of Digimon that came from the dense forest further south, and they obviously didn't know the name Broly, who was famous in the dense forest here.

"Giantmon-Owner is a being even more powerful than a mature Digimon."

"Complete form?"

Beetlemon asked in shock, Flowermon and Bikyomon looked at each other, they actually didn't know what level their self-proclaimed king was at.

"Anyway, the cuttlefish beast in the lake next to it is a thing of the past. Now this forest lake belongs to our Vicious Beast King."

The Beast Path of Monk.

"We didn't steal your king's water."

Beetlemon said quickly, opening his arms as if to cover something.

"Yeah, yeah, we haven't stolen the water yet."

A group of Mochimon gathered behind it and blocked the bucket behind Beetlemon.

If it is Squidwardmon, they can also secretly splash some water and run away. Anyway, Squidwardmon is a Digimon that stays in the water and generally cannot go too far away from the water.

But when it came to the strange Digimon King who might be in his Perfect Form, Beetlemon and Mochimon immediately gave up the idea of ​​stealing water.

[We should go back and dig a pit and use the water that seeps out from the ground. When it snows heavily, we can eat the snow directly to quench our thirst.]

When Beetlemon was thinking this, he heard Flowermon on the other side say, "You don't have to steal water, you can go get water openly. Our king is different from Cuttlefishmon. He is willing to share the fresh water in the forest lake with other Digimon in need."

"Eh?"

Beetlemon and Mochimon paused and looked at Flowermon with wide eyes.

"But you can't waste water, and you can't pollute this lake. Can you promise?"

Beetlemon reacted and immediately patted his chest and said, "We can guarantee it."

After a pause, it continued to say that it and Mochimon were driven out of their original village by an evil Snowmanmon, and so they came here to find a new settlement.

"Evil Yetimon?"

Hualamon and Bikyumon looked at each other, then said to Beetlemon, "We can help you with this matter."

"Eh?"

"My king loves to fight evil Digimon. As long as what you are experiencing is true, he will definitely be happy to help you after knowing it."

. . . .

Hualamon and Bikyomon, along with their own tribe of Bikkomon, settled near the lake in the forest.

Tell every Digimon who wants to steal water that the forest lake has a new owner.

And also publicize the reputation of the kindness of their own gluttonous beast king.

As long as they follow the principle of not wasting water and not polluting water sources, any Digimon can draw water from the forest lake.

In addition to Huaramon and his friends, Barumon also settled near the fruit forest with his own group of seedmons.

Also, tell the Digimon who go there and want to take the risk of stealing fruit because they may not have stored enough food for the winter, about the rules of the orchard.

"You can pick the fruits, but be careful. If you waste them, you will be caught and eaten by the Gluttonous Beast King."

Barumon occasionally scares the Digimon that come to steal the fruit.

"Also, shouldn't you guys who picked the fruit show off a little bit? Hey, what can you do? Do you know how to photosynthesize? If you do, help take care of the orchard. Even if you don't, you can help build the house."

In order to get a bite of food, the Digimon came to the vicinity of the fruit forest and began to build a dense forest manor full of natural ecology with the center of the fruit forest as the origin.

Plant-type Digimon help take care of the orchard, while other types of Digimon help with odd jobs. Some Digimon clean the house, and some Digimon pick fruits every day and pay tribute to King Gluttonymon and his beloved Puppymon, so as to obtain the right to settle here.

Chongchongmon brought the 蛆虫兽 back to the original tribe's base, accepted the 蛆虫兽 from the Gunimon tribe into his own tribe, and guided them to evolve in the direction of becoming better vaccine species.

"Let me tell you, if you evolve incorrectly and become an evil Gunnimon, you will be captured by the Gluttonous Beast King and roasted and eaten."

Chongchongmon tells stories like this to the Moshimon in the tribe every day. The Moshimon who originally belonged to the Gunimon tribe have no doubts, simply because the captured Gunimon have completely disappeared.

"King Gluttonymon loves to eat evil Digimon the most. If you know where this kind of Digimon is, you can come find us."

This is the common understanding of the three Digimon tribes that broke into the orchard, and they are publicizing this matter under the name of Broly's Gluttonymon.

Since Broly often took action to eliminate some evil Digimon that persecuted good Digimon, and generously shared the resources produced by the resource fields, he successfully became the uncrowned king of this dense forest in just one winter.

If there are conflicts among the Digimon groups in the jungle, they will look for the Uncrowned King of the Jungle to resolve them. Of course, because the name of Gluttony is a bit scary, most Digimon still keep their distance from Broly, the King of Gluttony. Instead, they look for Puppymon beside Broly to seek justice.

Throughout the winter, Puppymon dealt with no less than twenty conflicts between different Digimon groups.

This makes Puppymon, who was supposed to be playful and lively, have some of the steadiness and toughness of a Judgment-type Digimon.

Of course, steadiness and toughness are only needed for external purposes. Internally, Puppymon is still the cute Digimon who likes to lie in Broly's arms and act coquettishly.

"King Gluttony, the strawberry ice cream is ready."

The chubby Snowballmon pushed the door open and walked in. It was the Digimon that had driven away Beetlemon and Mochimon and left their own village.

However, this big snowman is not an evil Digimon. He just did bad things because he was controlled by the Dark Gear.

After Broly found him, captured him and was about to be made into ice food, and pulled out the black gear, he returned to normal.

Snowmon was so grateful to Broly that Broly was too embarrassed to kill it. However, it became the first Digimon that was captured by Broly but not eaten.

Today, Snowmon is the chef of this large manor. He is good at making frozen desserts such as ice cream. Some of the ingredients used in the desserts are contributed by other Digimon, while others are refreshed from resource production sites.

The digital world is a shadow of the real world. Sometimes some items in the real world will be refreshed in the digital world.

For example, in this dense forest, there is a convenience store, which was originally occupied by a Diamond Digimon, a Digimon with a somewhat rough personality and methods. But after meeting a Saiyan boy whose methods were even more rough than his, Diamond Digimon became polite.

Not only does he share the convenience store that can produce resources on a regular basis, but he is now also a jungle transporter who specializes in delivering some supplies from the convenience store to the manor.

"These are the flour, eggs, and drinks that were added to the convenience store this week. Please sign for them."

"Thank you for your hard work, King Kong."

A Cactusmon came out of the manor, took the supplies from Kongomon, and said to it, and this is the Digimon that evolved from Balumon.

It is worth mentioning that Flowermon, who lived in the forest lake, also evolved into Cactusmon when he was following Puppymon to deal with conflicts among the Digimon tribe.

It was then that Broly learned that different types of growing Digimon could evolve into the same mature Digimon.

At the beginning, Digimon have obvious differences and are different young Digimon, but when they evolve, some of them can reach the same destination.

Cactusmon is a common evolutionary route chosen by most tropical plant Digimon.

After all, not everyone can evolve into a perfect form, and the mature stage is generally the pinnacle that ordinary Digimon can reach through normal evolution.

It is normal to choose an evolutionary route with decent combat power to protect the lower limit, and Cactusmon, which has the sharp punch move, is considered to be a relatively capable type among mature Digimon.

"By the way, Master Puppymon, why don't you evolve yet?"

It was another day of resolving conflicts. Cactusmon, which was evolved from Flowermon, suddenly asked Puppymon beside him.

"I do not know."

Puppymon shook his head. In terms of the amount of data it absorbed, it far exceeded that of other Digimon who could only occasionally eat and drink for free.

However, even the Flowermon that settled in the forest lake had evolved into a mature Cactusmon, but he still looked like a Puppymon.

"What if Puppymon-sama wants to evolve in the future, but doesn't know what he wants to evolve into?"

Cactusmon, the evolved form of Flowermon, quickly changed the subject.

"I don't know, but even if I stay in Puppymon mode forever, I think it's fine."

Upon hearing this, Cactusmon, the evolved form of Flowermon, said: "..."

I just feel that King Gluttonmon is a little too protective of Puppymon around him. Most Digimon will evolve upward, and there are also Digimon who pay a huge price in pursuit of power.

However, it is rare for a Digimon like Puppymon to be able to easily accumulate an amount of evolution data that is difficult for ordinary Digimon to accumulate because it has a king who dotes on it, but it itself does not want to evolve.

"Master Puppymon, help me!"

Just when Cactusmon, evolved from Flowermon, was about to persuade Dogmon about the various benefits of evolution, a Poopmon with Squeakmon on its head came hopping over here.

The one who was shouting was a pink mouse-like Digimon sitting above Poopmon's head.
