16 Journey through the stars
In the time Charz was traveling in his spaceship he dedicated 8 hours for sleep, 2 hours for meals, 4 hours for physical training, 3 hours meditation, 4 hours sculpting and 3 hours of leisure activities. This was his daily schedule during the traveling period in which he strictly followed.
When it was leisure activities period Charz would often go to the bridge and gaze out at the vast endlessness known as space. He had seen many planets, stars and other spaceships in his journey, some planets were filled with life, some were barren and some were even brutally damaged by what seemed like a war or large fight.
This displayed the beauty and cruelty of the universe to Charz, this was a law of the jungle world, killed or be killed, if you were not strong enough you had no right to own or protect anything the strong ruled the weak. As Charz watched these scenes pass by he had a greater conviction to make the Saiyan race strong in the universe and prevent them from becoming underlings of other persons.
As Charz life of leisure and training passed by slowly on his spaceship he started to think about Kale and Caulifla. They should be doing well in universe 6 planet Salda, Charz planned that after the destruction of planet Vegeta and the relocation of the remaining Saiyans on the new home planet he would leave immediately for universe 6 planet Salda and bring them with him to universe 7.
As he thought about the future Charz couldn't help but smile, he was thinking about all the fun things he was going to do after the Saiyans were relocated to a new planet and his future companions. As he thought about that a system alarm went off in the bridge from the main computer.
When he came to the computer and checked it a screen popped up and showed another spaceship in front of his with what appeared to be aliens streaming out in suits and heading to his spaceship. As Charz looked at them he realized that they were some space pirates in what seemed to be some space suits.
"Since they came out to greet me it would be a shame not to go out and greet them also" Charz said as he started walking to the door as he surrounded himself with a Ki bubble or shell which would help him be able to stay in space for a few minutes before leaving the spaceship.

A few days earlier
On a spaceship filled with a band of pirates.
"Boss we need to get another job fast or we will starve in this place, we won't be able to return to Scorpion's Gorge if we can't pay the debt we owe to Captain Axe." Said a greenish blue humanoid alien as he spoke to another alien sitting in the captain seat in the bridge of the spaceship.
The spaceship was filled with aliens from various races all of whom were humanoids of various colours and appearances. The captain who was just spoken to by the greenish blue alien rested his chin on his hands as he thought about what his subordinate just said.
"Rin, I understand what you are saying and I have a plan to settle this. Set the ship's course to the east area near the galactic patrol's area of influence, there are always a lot of merchant ships passing through that area, we just need to nab a few." Replied the captain as he ordered his crew to change the course.
"But captain, that's the Galactic patrol's area it would be more risky to carry out any job there with the galactic patrol always patrolling their area." Said Rin as he looked at the captain.
"Are you afraid Rin, do you want to back out"
"No captain, it just that the risks are ...."
"Is there anyone that share the same worry as Rin, are they anyone who thinks that operating near the galactic patrols area is too much risks?" the captain said as he eyed all the subordinates on the bridge.
None of the pirates on the bridge dared to raise any objections with their captain's decisions even those were worried about the risks of operating near the galactic patrol area merely bent their heads and tried to hide their presence from the captain vision trying to not attract any attention.
They knew that if any of them spoke out all that awaited them was death if they dared to. They were not Rin, he was special the advisor and right hand man of the captain but they were merely members of the crew that the captain hired casually.
They knew they were not of as valuable as Rin in the captain's eyes, they were expendables easily replaced if they died so all they could do was shut up, follow orders and survive.
"See Rin there is nothing to worry about the Galactic patrol area is large they are bound to be places they miss when they patrol the area so no need to concern yourself with unnecessary worries. We just need to nab a few spaceships before they even notice and return to Scorpion's Gorge before any of them can catch us." The captain said to Rin before turning back to the screens he was looking at.
Rin sighed as he knew risks they were taking but they had to get the money he just hoped they wouldn't run into any of the galactic patrol on this run.
---------------------------------------
"Hahahaha that's another one down it really is worthwhile to carry out our operations near the galactic patrol's area the amount of merchant ships we caught are quite a few, with this we will make a killing once we go back to Scorpion's Gorge. What do you say now Rin was my decision good or great?"
Influenced by the successful operations so far Rin showed the typical greediness and love for wealth inherent to all pirates. "Hahaha, captain you were right all along, I was just being too cautious because this is the galactic patrols area. I thought it would have been more secure since their fame for helping out planets from pirates and mercenaries has spread across the universe. Now I understand their reputation is undeserved, at least when it comes to patrolling space and stopping space robberies. They can't even catch us when we are in their own territory."
"See this means you should believe in me a little more your captain I am always right. Now we should head back as this string of robberies will surely alert the galactic patrol and they will definitely send quite a few ships after us and I don't want to be chased by them all the way"
"Sure anything you say captain" replied Rin as he looked at the captain with admiration. Just as they were preparing to set off one of the crew reported something.
"Captain I discovered a something traveling in this direction." Replied the member of the crew.
"Is it a galactic patrol ship, is it alone" asked the captain.
"No it is not a galactic patrol ship and it's alone, judging from its appearance it seemed to be a new high spec model ship. I can't identify which manufacturer made it but it is definitely one of the best if not the best ship I have ever seen in all of my life." Said the crew member responsible for scouting the area.
"What about the energy levels use that new high tech scouter we bought from the gorge."
"I just got the readings sir they are below 1000 and there only seems to be one person on the ship."
"Only one person on the ship, are you sure and only a battle power below a thousand. Check it again and make sure there is no changes"
"Yes, sir"
"I just checked it twice sir, nothing changed from our initial readings everything is the same."
"Well boys it seems that the Gods are favouring us, giving us such a catch just before we leave for Scorpion's Gorge. Hahaaha come on boys let's take this one down before returning home, when we return we will be living like kings for a while." Said the captain as he looked at the approaching ship with greed in his eyes as he ordered his subordinates to begin an assault on the spaceship.
Unaware of the consequences of his decision of attacking instead of going home and the ill fate that would befall he and his crew the captain lead the raid to the spaceship as he greedily eyed the ship. Thinking it would serve as a new ship and especially his flagship for his group after some modifications.
Charz was unaware of the scouter located on the ship and ignorant of the fact that the band of pirates scanned his battle power. Unknown to them was that due to his great amount of power and his habit of hiding his true battle power from everyone, Charz always keeps his strength below and around a 1000.
