Without much trouble, Goku lent the four-star planet left by his grandfather to Gawain and Bulma.
Meanwhile, at Gawain's strong invitation, Goku, who is full of curiosity about the world, also embarks on a journey to find the Dragon Ball with the two of them.
Although Bulma doesn't need a bodyguard like Goku to do anything these days, Goku is still worried about his grandfather's four-star ball and hopes to stay with it to prevent it from getting lost.
On the other hand, Gawain also wanted to take Goku out so that the Saiyan could attain his gradually rising destiny.
The three continued on their journey, and soon, just like in the original story, they encountered all sorts of friends.
Until...
On this day, Master Roshi, who had been waiting in the haunted house for a whole week, finally felt the power of Observation Haki again!
Gawain and Bulma, using the boat from the Master Key, followed the Dragon Radar and arrived at the Kame House.
At this moment, Master Roshi finally put on his martial arts uniform again and solemnly met the man he had been looking forward to for a whole week!
The same Observation Haki, the same aura— Master Roshi was absolutely certain that the young man opposite him with the gentle smile was the one he had long considered his nemesis!
Although the man's youth surprised me, my instincts wouldn't be wrong!
The moment he sensed that aura, he felt that it was a power he could hardly resist!
Although the exact strength of that aura is unknown, Master Roshi, who has held the title of the strongest man in the human world for countless years, is not afraid of any challenge!
On the contrary, he only felt the long-lost feeling of exhilaration!
"Hello, young man. I am Roshi Turtle School, a disciple of Master Mutaito!"
I've been waiting for you for a whole week! You... you've finally arrived!
At this moment, Master Roshi didn't seem unreliable like in the original storyline. He could sense a portion of Gawain's aura and was already prepared for battle.
After all, in his view, it's unlikely that a martial artist would specifically seek out another martial artist just to borrow money, right?
What else can martial artists do? They either spar or kill each other!
Across from him, looking at the exceptionally serious Roshi, Gawain pondered for a moment, then said knowingly.
"So, seven days ago, you sensed my Observation Haki?"
"Oh, so your teacher calls this Observation Haki?"
No, it should be said that... it should be called "Haki aura," and "Observation Haki" is probably the application of aura in searching.
So, as expected, a new and thriving school of martial arts has emerged in the world of martial arts today!
This truly makes me happy! It's wonderful to see martial arts gradually flourishing!
At this point, Roshi clasped his hands in a fist salute to Gawain.
Seeing the solemn Roshi, Gawain released Bulma and respectfully bowed to Roshi.
"Gawain, without any sect or school, if I were to name the core of my cultivation, then my foundation should be called... Seimei Kikan."
In short, it's an honor to meet Master Roshi of the Turtle School!
"I am also very happy to meet a promising junior, especially... standing in front of you, I actually feel my hands and feet trembling involuntarily!"
The possibility of Seimei Kikan is certainly something to look forward to, and you are someone to look forward to even more!
"But the Kame House is too small. If it's suitable, why don't we sit in my house for a while, and then we'll go to the Eastern Grand Canyon near the coast for the battle!"
Roshi didn't want to damage his haunted house. Anyway, there was a dry canyon not far from the coastline, so fighting there wouldn't cause any problems.
As for whether he will be gone for good in this battle?
Roshi doesn't care about that!
Throughout his life, ever since his teacher, Master Mutaito, died sealing King Piccolo, he carried his grief and worked hard to improve himself. He not only mastered the martial arts legacy left by his Master Mutaito, but also innovated upon it, surpassing his teacher and creating his own path of the Turtle School of martial arts.
After that, he fought across the north and south, establishing himself as the best in the world, an invincible force with no equal!
Apart from his own wretched junior brother, who could put some pressure on him, no one in the world could shake his title as the number one in the world!
Although the young man in front of him now made him feel pressured, it meant that the man's physique and magnanimity completely surpassed his own.
But Roshi was certain he would lose.
After all, the core purpose of martial arts and martial arts is to give the weak the possibility of resisting and defeating the strong!
Moreover, the man in front of him didn't seem to have any ill intentions; at least he didn't start shouting for violence right away. He seemed to be the kind of person with exceptionally good manners.
With that, Roshi was even less worried; at worst, he could just hand over the title of the best in the world.
When has he ever cared about that title? Don't you see the World Martial Arts Tournament held around the world? Every year, a so-called world's best martial artist is crowned. He's long since stopped participating in those kinds of competitions.
It's just a title; let whoever wants to take it, take it.
The reason he's been holed up in his Kame House and wallowing in decadence all these years is because he sees no hope for martial arts. With the advancement of technology, young people in the Tamayo are increasingly losing faith in martial arts.
The martial arts of this world have declined as Korin Tower has become a legend, as the Turtle School and Crane School have disappeared, and as King Piccolo inflicted heavy casualties on outstanding martial artists in the past.
With so many factors influencing him, Master Roshi was already disillusioned with the future of martial arts.
If a stronger young man were to appear, he could defeat him and then pass the news to the ears of truly knowledgeable martial artists.
For example, Master Shen, Mercenary Tao, and so on.
In that case, the news that his world's pinnacle had been overthrown would at least reignite the ambition of others and the new generation in the martial arts world to strive for the pinnacle of the world again!
No one knew that so many thoughts flashed through Master Roshi's mind in just a short moment.
After listening to Master Roshi's advice, and looking into Master Roshi's eyes which were filled with determination and expectation, they realized that he was truly impressed.
Gawain nodded slightly, then smiled.
"No rush, there will be time for the competition. Let's sit down and have something to eat now."
It took me more than six hours to get here by boat, and it's almost lunchtime now. Let me treat you to a meal first, Master Roshi.
Oh, right, I haven't introduced you yet. This is my friend Bulma, the owner of West City Capsule Corporation.
And this one~~~."
Gawain chuckled and pulled Goku over, placing the long-tailed child in front of Master Roshi.
Looking at Master Roshi in front of him, Goku wagged his tail curiously.
"This man is named Goku, and his grandfather is... Grandpa Gohan!"
"Well, isn't that quite a coincidence, Master Roshi?"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Roshi immediately became interested. He pulled Goku over and examined the document from all angles, then nodded appreciatively.
"It seems that Gohan's disciple has not given up his martial arts training. His Sun Tzu... has an exceptionally good foundation, and his physical abilities are unbelievably superior!"
But why are you taking Gohan's child on this trip? Are you going to take him as your apprentice?
If so, then you'll at least need my permission!
After all, this child, when you think about it, could be considered my grand-disciple... uh... should someone be called a grand-disciple?
Is it because we're from different generations?
Perhaps because he hadn't formally communicated with like-minded people in a long time, Master Roshi quickly became timid after talking too much.
He rubbed his bald head, then patted Goku on the shoulder, laughing to distract him.
"Haha, never mind, now is not the time to emphasize those things."
"Kotori, how's Grandpa doing lately? Is Gohan alright?"
"Ah?"
When Master Roshi asked him this, Goku showed no sadness whatsoever.
"Grandpa left us. He passed away one night when the moon was full."
After that, I lived on my own until I met Brother Gawain and Sister Bulma, who were collecting Dragon Ball that could grant wishes. That's when I came out with them.
Grandpa, you have a Dragon Ball here too, right? Could you lend it to Gawain and Bulma?
"If we can find Dragon Ball sooner, they can return the four Dragon Balls that Grandpa left me sooner, hehe~~."
Goku laughed heartily, but his words caused Master Roshi to frown for a moment.
"Gohan... sigh..."
After a sigh, Master Roshi put aside his suspicions.
Although, given Gohan's physique, he should theoretically have lived for at least several more decades, so how could he suddenly...
However, Gohan's Sun Tzu had already appeared before him, and when Gohan was mentioned, there was not a trace of pain or hatred on his face.
Master Roshi thought that Gohan probably had some kind of illness.
Anyway, it shouldn't be my guess; he died at the hands of other martial artists.
Thinking about it this way, Master Roshi felt relieved. There were very few people who had drunk the longevity potion like him. Now that he was alive, he only had that old bastard Master Shen and a sea turtle who was destined to live longer than him as friends.
Thinking this, Master Roshi nodded and smiled.
"So that bead can actually grant wishes? That's really interesting."
Wait a moment, I'll bring it to you right away.
Once you've collected them all, be sure to make some wishes that are good for the world, Kotori.
Also, after you and the other two find all the Dragon Ball, if you have time then...
Why not come and visit my island? I might even... teach you a few things when I have some free time.
"After all, he's Gohan's Sun Tzu; a little guidance... I won't be stingy with it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Master Roshi leisurely returned to the Kame House and handed the Dragon Ball he had found by chance to the excited Bulma.
Then, he looked at Gawain and solemnly cupped his hands in greeting.
"You want to eat first? Then come on, let me entertain you."
Although I'm not a very good cook, after living on the island for so many years, I've mastered a superb method of preparing seafood.
Wait a minute, I'll go order some seafood right away. Perfect timing, this old man needs to warm up too!!!
As he spoke, Master Roshi dashed into the sea. His slender body swam through the water as swiftly as a tuna, and in the blink of an eye, he had caught piles of precious seafood.
A moment later, Gawain and his group lit a bonfire and, under Master Roshi's hospitality, enjoyed a hearty seafood feast.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Gawain and Master Roshi exchanged a glance, and then Chip rode off on the waves!
Bulma snorted in dissatisfaction as she watched the two people run off into the distance.
"Men are always like this, no matter how old they are, they always want to get rid of girls and keep them out of danger."
But we girls aren't afraid of any danger, okay!
The happiest thing is experiencing everything together, whether it's hardship or happiness, we should go through it all together!
With that, Bulma threw out Hoi-Poi Capsule and pulled out a rocket boat.
"Come on, Goku, I'll take you to see their battle. Luckily, I brought this rocket boat, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to keep up with their speed. They're so fast, no wonder they're martial artists!"
"OK!"
Goku, bewildered, followed Bulma onto the speedboat and sped off in Gawain's direction. By the time they arrived, Gawain and Master Roshi were already locked in a fierce battle in the Eastern Grand Canyon.
However, at this moment, Bulma and Goku were not the only ones watching this battle.
Even before Bulma arrived, the Red Ribbon Army, whose headquarters were already based near the East Blue, had already noticed the exaggerated battle taking place in the Eastern Grand Canyon!
Currently, the Red Ribbon Army hasn't been destroyed by Goku yet. Gawain wants to leave the Red Ribbon Army for Goku to level up, and incidentally, to follow the plot and introduce future androids.
He certainly wasn't interested in Android 18, which is why he released such a terrifying opponent.
He's just interested in the technology to create androids!
Compared to Bulma, Vegapunk, Franky, and Dr. Briefs getting together to research that kind of android technology...
They might actually be able to create terrifying androids capable of challenging the level of a God of Destruction.
Gawain is very much looking forward to this.
Amidst the anticipation, the battle unfolded fiercely before them. Master Roshi dodged and weaved, each punch and kick carrying the energy he had cultivated throughout his life.
Gawain didn't overwhelm Master Roshi with sheer strength, but instead tried to understand how Master Roshi used ki through continuous battles.
To this end, Gawain even used his own body to withstand Master Roshi's unique technique, the Thunder Shock Surprise.
That's right, this is Master Roshi's unique skill. As for those who say that the Kamehameha is Master Roshi's trump card, well, take a look. It seems that everyone in Dragon Ball has their own technique for projecting ki in a straight line.
Whether they are Saiyan or aliens, everyone can unleash a ki blast similar to the Kamehameha, thus achieving a beam-countering effect.
However, the Thunder Shock Surprise is a palm technique that directly affects the nerves, causing the opponent to experience endless pain.
That was Master Roshi's true signature technique, a skill that had never been displayed by anyone other than Master Roshi's disciples.
The two fought for a full half hour, Master Roshi finally experienced a long-lost sense of frustration.
He had to admit that he really was no match for Gawain.
Because Gawain barely attacked, he wore Gawain down to almost no energy just by relying on defense!
As for his attack...
Neither the Thunder Shock Surprise nor the Kamehameha could inflict any real damage on Gawain...
The next second, Master Roshi assumed a horse stance, gathering his strength, his muscles bulging.
If this move still doesn't break through that kid's defense...
You should just admit defeat!
