Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 267: Willing to Worship the Master
Death is not scary. Instead, it is the moment before waiting for death that is the most terrifying.

Broly's words made Bugmon's body below tremble even more violently, because it seemed like he was saying that he might eat it in the future.

Thinking of the fate of being eaten in the future, Bugmon lay on the ground and began to cry.

Broly felt a little confused.

"I told you I'm not going to eat you, why are you still crying? Do you need me to tell you I want to eat you before you stop crying?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Bugmon stopped crying immediately. Broly stared at the big green fat worm below with wide eyes. He felt that this Digimon might really be seriously ill, and it would not stop until he said some vicious words to it.

"Tell me, what happened? Why did I become the so-called gluttonous beast king in your mouth?"

Broly floated down from the sky and threw the Darkdramon in his hand to the open space next to him. While making a rumbling sound, he also shook a group of young Digimon on the ground and made them bounce up. He then asked the three grown Digimon in front of him this question.

Bugmon, Palmon, and Flowermon looked at each other, and finally Flowermon, who was still able to stand and remain calm, spoke.

"That's what we heard from some other Digimon in the jungle..."

After Huaramon's explanation, Broly felt that his reputation was damaged by rumors.

The reason why he was given the name of Gluttonymon King was because he was seen by other Digimon when he was hunting and cooking some bad Digimon before.

The weak Digimon are connected to each other. As the number of Digimon that Broly catches and eats increases, his name gradually spreads among the weak Digimon at the bottom of the jungle - King Gluttonymon.

Gluttony, meaning he can eat.

As for Beast, no other Digimon was willing to believe that the guy who could easily defeat some mature Digimon would be a human.

Since Broly is not a human, but is treated as a Digimon, then the only Digimon that can easily defeat a mature Digimon are those above the mature stage.

The Digital World is huge, almost as big as the real world, but there are not many Digimon in this world that can evolve naturally to their Perfect Form.

It can be said that every Perfect Digimon, except those that cannot be fought, is almost a dominant force in its own right.

For Digimon that dominate a region, other Digimon will affectionately address them with the suffix "King", such as Gokumon King and Vamdemon King.

Broly earned the nickname of Gluttonymon because of his ability to eat, but there must be a misunderstanding here, such as he only attacks bad and violent Digimon.

However, this information is indistinguishable to Digimon that are not targeted as prey.

They only knew that it was Broly who defeated some other powerful mature Digimon and cooked and ate them, but they didn't know that he would not attack Digimon that were not villains.

As for why Puppymon turned into Dobermanmon, it is probably similar to the situation where a rumor will become distorted after being spread for a long time.

Compared to the Holy Beast Digimon Puppymon, the other Digimon would rather believe that the more evil and powerful Gluttonymon is followed by a cold-blooded, mature Hound Digimon.

. . . .

"Broly is not that kind of person. The ones he ate were all bad, violent Digimon."

Now, Puppymon spoke up to refute the rumors spread by the Brutal and Gluttonous King, while Flowermon and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Why, you don't believe what Puppymon said?"

As Broly clenched his fist and asked in a warning tone, Flowermon and the other Digimon finally reacted and quickly shook their heads.

"You are right, Master Puppymon. We really shouldn't believe in rumors that have no basis whatsoever. Master Gluttonmon, you are actually a very kind and benevolent Digimon..."

"I'm not a Digimon. Forget it. I don't think it's too much for you to say this, do I?"

Hearing this, a group of Digimon who answered hurriedly shook their heads, and Barumon patted his chest and assured, "We will never force it, and what we say is the truth from the bottom of our hearts."

【From the heart is also true. 】

Bugmon nodded repeatedly to show his agreement. As long as he was not eaten by the Gluttonmon King in front of him, he could say anything at this moment and unconditionally agree with any rebuttal made by Puppymon.

Even if Puppymon now says that Poopmon's feces are delicious, Bugmon will agree with this point of view without hesitation.

"Just don't force it."

Broly nodded and subconsciously looked at the large and small bags filled with fruits beside the group of Digimon.

Hualamon followed the boy's gaze and thought to himself that something was wrong. He quickly thought of a way out and said, "This is the fruit we picked and prepared to offer as a tribute to you, King Gluttonymon."

"Yes, yes, this is definitely not the fruit we sneaked into your territory to secretly pick when you were not at home. We, we were actually helping Doberman, uh, no, it was Master Puppymon, to help pick the fruit."

Barumon stammered in agreement, making Flowermon so angry that the petals on his hands opened up.

If it wasn't the wrong timing, Huaramon really wanted to turn around and beat up this stupid teammate.

They are both growing Digimon, but why does Barumon have no brains at all?

Could it be that this is the difference between the Digimon that evolved from Picomon and Seedmon?

"Thank you so much then."

Suddenly, Broly thanked.

"Eh?!"

The next moment, the interjections of surprise sounded at the same time.

【Did he really believe it?】

Huaramon's eyes widened, and its thoughts were the same as those of the other two growing Digimon.

"Abu, winter probably just came early. Since they don't have enough food to prepare for the winter, they come here to pick fruits."

Puppymon revealed the truth and said, the reason why it knew this was because it had done the same thing before.

When food is scarce in winter, they will venture into the territory of the Guga beast and steal fruits from the trees to eat.

The lie was exposed by Puppymon, and Flowermon, Barumon, and Bugmon felt their hearts rise to their throats and looked at Broly nervously.

"So that's how it is. They picked these fruits for themselves, not for me."

[Oh no, I’m going to die! ]

The three growing Digimon began to tremble, and the young Digimon had a similar reaction.

"But they did help me a little. Thanks to them, I was able to pick a lot of big fruits."

The puppy beast picked up the vine bag and shook it. The fruits inside were big and smelled fragrant.

"Can I help you..."

Broly pondered and came to the side of Darkdramon. The other party had some unusual movements, and it seemed that he was about to wake up.

Broly swung his fist, and the moment Darkdramon raised his head from the ground, he used physical attack again, causing Darkdramon on the ground to sleep like a baby.

"Do you want to eat together?" "What?"

Balmon asked subconsciously.

"Does this need to be said?"

Broly patted the dragon head of Darkdramon, who was sleeping like a baby, and asked back.

Except for Puppymon, the other Digimon fell silent. Can we, the infant/growing Digimon, eat Darkdramon now?

Ah, that's not right. As Digimon, how can they eat other Digimon?
. . . .

"Oh, it smells so good!"

At night, the external data roasted by Darkdramon directly benefited the stomachs of a group of hungry Digimon.

It only took one meal for these Digimon to go from resisting at first to shouting out "It smells so good!"

He quickly transformed from questioning Broly to understanding Broly and wanting to become Broly.

This is especially true for some infant Digimon, which, after absorbing enough data, evolve into adult Digimon on the spot.

"King Gluttony is such a kind and good king."

"I am Picomon, oh no, now I am Bikyomon, and I am willing to follow King Gluttonymon and serve him..."

On the spot, a newly evolved Digimon expressed his allegiance to Broly, and it is not uncommon in the digital world for weak Digimon to serve strong Digimon.

In the digital world, it's OK for powerful Digimon to be lone wolves, but weak Digimon must either band together for warmth or find a powerful Digimon to be their boss.

Of course, looking for a boss is risky. It's okay if you meet a reliable boss, but if you meet an unreliable boss, the other party may get angry and kill you. This is all possible, and Zulimon will die unjustly.

Seeing Broly feeding Puppymon non-stop, every Digimon present was envious.

"What can you do to serve me, get on the grill, grill yourself, and then feed me?"

Broly looked at the little red bird leaning over in front of him, wanting to serve him, and asked with some confusion.

Bikyumon: “…”

It just wants to worship the boss, but doesn't want to be eaten by the boss.

"I know there are still bad Digimon out there."

The red bird thought about it, and then said.

"King Gluttonymon, if it's a bad Digimon, I know something about it."

Bugmon said quickly, fearing that he might be eaten later.

Broly: “???”

He originally didn't want to have any Digimon as his subordinates, but this group of Digimon who wanted to follow him offered good conditions.

"There is a large lake in the middle of the dense forest, occupied by a group of Cuttlefishmon. They do not allow other Digimon to drink water from the lake without their permission. If you want to drink water, you have to pay them enough water fees."

"There is a group of Gunni beasts in the west of the dense forest. They and I both evolved from the worm beasts, but our tribe advocates peace, while the Gunni beasts' tribe prefers violence.

They destroyed our tribe of bug beasts and intended to guide all the worm beasts in this dense forest to evolve into their own Gunimon beasts. They are a group of bad-tempered, evil-doing guys!"

Bugmon had directly revealed the enemy tribe of his own tribe, causing Broly to look over with a bit of a frown, wondering if the big green bug had ulterior motives.

"As for Gunnimon, I know them. When I was still Meowthmon, I accidentally entered their territory and was chased and bitten by a group of Gunnimon. Fortunately, those Gunnimons ran slower than me, so I was able to escape."

However, since Puppymon said this, it doesn't matter what other thoughts Bugmon has.

That night, under the guidance of Bugmon, Broly found the Gunnimon tribe in the west of the jungle. The tribe consisted of thirteen Digimon that looked like giant horned beetles. They were unable to fight back against the Saiyans and were knocked unconscious and taken back.

Broly asked this group of Gunnimon to go to the rack and grilled thirteen skewers of big insects. After being grilled, the Gunnimon tasted crispy and chicken-like, which was very delicious. This made Broly look forward to the taste of Cuttlefishmon.

. . . .

The next day, he ran to the lake in the forest to fetch water on purpose.

Then, he was blocked by three cuttlefish beasts that emerged from the lake.

These mature soft-bodied virus-type cuttlefish beasts had bad tempers and came up to blackmail him.

"Although we didn't dig this forest lake, and we didn't direct the water in, we live in this lake, so if you want to get water here to drink, you need to pay us something. Anything is fine, as long as we think your thing is valuable."

"Then I'll exchange fruit for water, okay?"

Broly took out the big fruit and asked.

"What the hell, are we still short of fruit?"

There is nothing in the dense forest, but there are a lot of wild fruits.

Whether it tastes good or not is one thing, but Cuttlefishmon has no shortage of this stuff.

"But I don't have anything better than fruit on me at the moment. Otherwise, I don't want your water anymore."

Broly poured the water back
"Oh, you've polluted the water, and you still dare to say no?"

"You steal our water, but you can't give us anything good?"

"So, are you ready to be killed by us?"

The three Cuttlefishmons said one thing each and looked at Broly with malicious eyes.

They usually like to drag land creatures into the water and then watch them struggle and die in the water.

It was just some Digimon before, but now a human boy has come. No one knows how desperate this human boy will look after being dragged into the water.

"I can't even retreat the water, and you guys want to kill me just for this?
As expected, you, Cuttlefishmon, are indeed bad Digimon.

So, are you ready to be eaten by me?"

If Squidward was reasonable, Broly might still feel distressed, but the fact that they were unreasonable was exactly what he wanted.

In a short while, the three cuttlefish beasts were knocked unconscious by Broly.

Broly dragged them directly ashore, cut some wood and made a fire to roast the three big cuttlefish on the spot.

The taste of Cuttlefishmon is extremely delicious, worthy of being a seafood Digimon.

Puppymon ate it and thought it tasted better than all the previous virus-type Digimon.
