But the precious orbs are scattered all over the world, and Bulma could use the help of a certain super-strong boy...

After the smoke clears, Goku jumps on his flying cloud and returns to his quest to find the seven Dragon Balls, but now he's not the only one looking for them.

The Red Ribbon saga starts
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Although this book starts at the end of the tournament, it is an alright starting point for new readers. With the tournament drawing to a close, a new journey begins for Goku. Starting out Goku just wants one simple thing, the four-star ball his Grandfather left him, but the fascist organization the Red Ribbon also wants the Dragonballs. When Goku crosses paths with Colonel Silver, he finds himself wanted by the Red Ribbon's army.
