Awakened Devil Fruit
"Where's Grandpa? Grandpa's gone!"
When Vegapunk retrieved the Quantum Brain, he saw a completely bewildered Kid Goku.
The seven Dragon Ball turned to stone and flew away. The others didn't seem to care much, but Kid Goku, who considered the Four-Star Ball his grandfather's most precious heirloom, was completely dumbfounded. Fortunately, Vegapunk immediately comforted him:
"Don't worry, the Dragon Ball will turn into stone a year after you make a wish. They will Jackie Chun after a year. Then you can use the Dragon Radar to search for them and bring the Four-Star Dragon Ball back."
"That's the only way!"
Kid Goku sighed, even his tail drooped, looking listless.
After making their wish with Shenron, it was about time for the Dragon Ball Team to disband.
Kid Goku is going to Master Roshi for further training. Vegapunk and Bulma will definitely return to West City first. As for later, Vegapunk might also go to Master Roshi's place.
Oolong the pig also decides to go to West City with Bulma, aiming to find a beautiful and gentle girl. Of course, apart from Kid Goku, neither Bulma nor Vegapunk has any hope that this guy can achieve his goal.
Of course there are beautiful and gentle girls in this world, but if someone can fall for Oolong, then they probably have to be blind as well.
Bulma, after returning to West City, originally planned to take the opportunity of this trip to make a romantic confession to Vegapunk. However, as soon as she returned to West City, she was taken to Vegapunk's Laboratory.
Of course, Bulma was accompanied by her Pops, Dr. Brief, when they went to the Laboratory. The three top scientists stayed in the Laboratory for more than half a month.
For more than half a month, the three of them absorbed the various knowledge that Vegapunk had extracted from the Quantum Brain. Although the three of them were all top-notch talents, they had only learned a small part of the vast knowledge of the universe, even if it was just about technology.
However, even this tiny fraction was enough to propel the entire planet's technology forward by leaps and bounds. The inspiration it provided to them was unparalleled.
Don't be fooled by the fact that both Bulma and Dr. Brief are top-tier scientists; there are several other monstrous scientists like them on Earth.
However, science and cultivation are different. If cultivation is a path to personal transcendence, then science is a path to collective transcendence.
Top scientists can lead the entire scientific community beyond several eras, developing cutting-edge technologies that Superman's imagination. However, scientists cannot completely detach themselves from the community. Many scientific studies are limited by the community's technological progress and cannot be fully expressed.
Therefore, although Earth has many advanced technologies, it still lags far behind the universe in terms of overall technology. The data in Vegapunk's Quantum Brain is a great inspiration to them.
Furthermore, there has never been a truly all-around scientist in this world. Human energy is limited, and even the most brilliant scientist will always have subjects they are not good at. Bulma could not develop a terrifying Androids like Cell, and Dr. Gero could not create a time machine.
Although with their talent, they might actually be able to discover something if they put in a lot of effort, but as the saying goes, human energy is limited.
Whether it was Dr. Gero or Bulma, it had already taken them twenty or thirty years to create the time machine and the Cyborg. Those were the twenty or thirty years when they were most energetic, knowledgeable, and had the strongest research capabilities.
If they were to conduct research on both, the likelihood of ending up with nothing and failing to achieve any results on either would be far greater than the likelihood of both succeeding.
Half a month is enough time for Vegapunk to synthesize hundreds of methods for saving the planet and develop the technology to restore the ecosystem of the Pirate Planet in the fastest and best way.
In addition, his space technology has also made great progress. Combining his own space Folding Space and expansion with Dr. Brief's Capsule Corp Capsule technology, he can shrink an area the size of a planet to the size of a glass bead, and various organisms can still directly enter its interior.
Although achieving such an exaggerated degree of spatial contraction requires astronomical amounts of energy and would lead to instability in the spatial structure, lasting at most only a few days, it can still be said to have truly achieved the state of "a world in a flower, a paradise in a leaf."
Technological development has reached a point where it seems like a myth or legend.
Of course, besides conducting certain scientific research, Vegapunk also researched other things, such as the potential enhancement ability unique to the Dragon Ball World, the ability to create Dragon Ball, and so on.
However, the creation of the Dragon Ball requires a unique power specific to Namekians, Vegapunk would definitely be unable to create Dragon Ball unless he performed another genetic modification.
However, the ability to enhance potential is not exclusive to Namekians and Supreme Kai; there are many different methods available, and Vegapunk himself was able to develop some of them.
In addition, the Quantum Brain contains things like magic and superpowers. The content occupied by these systems is no less than that of technology. It can only be said that the knowledge of the entire universe is too vast and complex, and Vegapunk has not even browsed 1% of it.
Of course, not all knowledge in the universe is useful. For example, chewing gum is easier to remove when frozen, and the toxins in pufferfish can be destroyed by cooking them in a pressure cooker at 120 degrees Celsius for several hours. Such knowledge is of no use to Vegapunk, so Vegapunk simply deleted it.
In fact, at least 80% of the entire Quantum Brain consists of this kind of useless knowledge. Knowledge and science themselves present a pyramid structure, with most common-sense knowledge far exceeding advanced scientific and magical knowledge. If it weren't for the fact that the complexity of these advanced knowledge far surpasses that of common-sense knowledge, their proportion would be even more exaggerated.
In fact, Vegapunk has already diverted the technology inside the Quantum Brain through his own Quantum Chip, and many things have been handed over to his subordinates for research.
After all, whether in the Ninja World One-Punch Man or Naruto, or the Pirate World, Vegapunk is not a lone wolf; he has many technological talents under his command.
The Pirate World Hokage and One Piece are one thing, but even in the One-Punch Man World, there are many scientists whose level is only slightly lower than Vegapunk's.
Of course, due to the evolution of the Quantum Brain, Vegapunk's mental abilities and speed have greatly improved, along with his spiritual connection to Vegapunk. Although his thinking patterns have not changed much, he has already surpassed those scientists.
In the Pirate World, Vegapunk has also begun manufacturing various machines in preparation for reactivating the planet's core, although it will take another year or two.
However, Vegapunk did not plan to conduct much more research during this period. In other words, he planned to hand over the research work to his various clones and Quantum Brain, while his main consciousness went to Master Roshi's island to see Kid Goku.
To be precise, Vegapunk was planning to give Kid Goku some power-ups to make him stronger quickly. The Dragon Ball World is full of dangers, but most of the time, the bosses that appear are only slightly stronger than Kid Goku.
As long as Kid Goku's strength improves even slightly faster than in the original story, most dangers will no longer be dangers, but merely stepping stones for his progress.
Of course, Vegapunk wasn't exactly a philanthropist; in the entire Dragon Balls universe, Son Goku's talent was truly top-tier.
What's remarkable is that his talent doesn't entirely come from his bloodline. As a low-ranking warrior, he was able to ultimately surpass a large group of Space Emperor, Saiyan Prince, and super- Cyborg, relying more on his spirituality in martial arts and his childlike heart.
Although Vegapunk couldn't learn Son Goku's unique childlike innocence and martial arts talent, he could at least analyze some characteristics of the martial arts of ki through Son Goku and then integrate them into his Chakra abilities.
In terms of destructive power alone, Chakra is far inferior to the martial arts of ki. However, as an energy specially developed by the Otsutsuki Clan for harvesting planets, its compatibility far surpasses that of other energies. Abilities like Haki, which cannot be combined with ki, can be harmonized after being added to Chakra.
While it's impossible to fuse the Haki from the Pirate World and the Ki from the Dragon Ball World into a single energy, it's possible to use Chakra fusion abilities to transform it into Kekkei Genkai- like form, preventing the two energies from conflicting.
Of course, Vegapunk doesn't truly possess so-called "ki" yet. The energy within him that resembles ki is merely the special energy of Vaccine Man from the One-Punch Man World. However, Vegapunk will definitely absorb a lot of genes in the Dragon Ball World to strengthen himself in the future.
Given this, there must be too many energy systems conflicting with each other, which could cause him to burst. Fortunately, he had already thought of a solution.
On the island where Master Roshi lives, a turtle is lazily lying on the beach, basking in the sun.
Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from the sky, Vegapunk descended from the heavens, looking at the sunbathing tortoise:
"Hello, Sea Turtle! You seem to be enjoying yourself."
"Ah, it's that handsome Mr. Vegapunk!"
The Sea Turtle raised its head, looked at Vegapunk, and slowly began to speak.
"Are you looking for your master and Kid Goku? But they're not here right now."
After landing on the island, Vegapunk took a closer look. To be honest, he was quite curious about Master Roshi's island.
After all... such a small island, and relatively close to the coast, wouldn't it be flooded if the tide came in?
However, upon closer reflection, there are many incredible things in the Dragon Ball World, so a small island that will never be submerged is not surprising at all.
As for what the Sea Turtle said about Kid Goku and the others not being here, Vegapunk was already well aware of that.
This island and Master Roshi's house can't withstand much damage. If Kid Goku were to unleash a Kamehameha, the entire Kame House would probably be reduced to ashes.
"I understand. Has Kid Goku already become Master Roshi's apprentice?"
Looking at the Sea Turtle, Vegapunk asked a question, and the Sea Turtle nodded:
"Yes, not only that, Master Roshi also took on three apprentices this time! That's quite unexpected."
Three disciples? Vegapunk paused slightly, stroking his chin. Had Master Roshi taken on another disciple this time? And who could it be?
Although Master Roshi looks like a lewd old man who could make anyone become his apprentice with just a little seduction, he's actually just a lewd old man in appearance.
As the saying goes, "Old people are wise, and old ghosts are clever." As a super centenarian who has lived for over 300 years, Master Roshi's requirements for his disciples are definitely not low.
First and foremost, there must be some potential required. Look at Goku and Krillin, these two fellow disciples. Goku goes without saying, but Krillin, although he didn't seem to have much talent when he became Master Roshi's disciple, if he really didn't have any talent, could he have been transformed after being trained by Master Roshi?
Clearly, Krillin is talented. Even if he can't match Son Goku's monstrous talent, he's definitely top-tier compared to ordinary people.
Secondly, one's character cannot be too bad. It doesn't have to be something like a pure heart or a righteous spirit, but at least one cannot be an obviously bad person.
Just like Krillin, although he has many flaws, such as laziness and a penchant for clever tricks, he always sticks to his principles on matters of right and wrong.
So, in terms of aptitude and character, this third apprentice is certainly not bad either. So, who exactly is he?
However, after only a brief moment of thought, Vegapunk stopped thinking about it. Instead of dwelling on it, he figured he might as well just go and take a look.
"Could you give me directions? Where exactly are Master Roshi and Kid Goku?"
Upon hearing Vegapunk's question, the tortoise nodded, raised one of its forelegs, and pointed in a direction:
"Right there, about 20 or 30 kilometers away, there is a relatively large island, which is where they practice."
Nodding, Vegapunk instantly transformed into a streak of light and vanished before the turtle's eyes. The turtle stared blankly at the departing Vegapunk, and exclaimed in surprise:
"Wow, that's fast! He really is a mysterious guy!"
At that moment, Master Roshi was training his three disciples.
Now, Master Roshi is quite troubled, and the reason for his troubles comes from Kid Goku.
Is my little apprentice's talent a bit too high? Why do I always feel that even if I were to fight him myself, I would probably have a hard time beating Kid Goku?
Although Vegapunk did not adjust the gravity of Kid Goku's bracelet, so Kid Goku's Gravity Bracelets was always maintained at 12 times the normal gravity, even so, it had already increased Kid Goku's speed of power increase several times over.
