After much persuasion, Gawain finally convinced Shenron to return to where he belonged!
This process took approximately ten minutes...
There was nothing the Shenron could do; he refused to leave. Even at the very end, he couldn't understand why a single, perfectly clear goal could create two products with vaguely defined objectives...
Even at the very end, the way he looked at Gawain was strange.
Do you usually stuff this fruit into your body, making you less than pure human?
Considering the size of the Devil Fruit and its likely location.
That's really quite perverted; no wonder they can't be considered purely human...
The Shenron felt its worldview had collapsed, and it seemed only by going back to its father Porunga, and having a good talk with the other dragons could it recover...
Without raising the temperature to leave a shock on Shenlong, after fulfilling his wish, Shenron departed, and the Dragon Ball all turned into stones destined to scatter.
Gawain managed to subdue the stones before they flew away, and then offered some words of comfort to the heartbroken Goku.
The child thought his grandfather's belongings had disappeared.
After appeasing Goku and officially announcing his relationship with Bulma, Gawain's base of support in the Tamayo became relatively stable.
He took Bulma to buy a large plot of land on the East Blue Sea coastline, and then built a rather large training base. Incidentally, he also Bulma and Dr. Briefs to develop various gravity training devices for him to help with his future training.
Meanwhile, Gawain and Goku also began training with Master Roshi.
During training, Gawain easily mastered the characteristics of Qi. With his already considerable physical strength, practicing Qi was not very difficult. Soon, Gawain was able to use the Flying Technique to replace his previous magnetic field flight.
Although the maximum speed of the Flying Technique is slower than that of the Electric Form Flight, the pure physical body gives Gawain a stable form of survival. In some ways, this stability is better suited to dealing with future changes than mere strength.
After Gawain completed his training and basically grasped the concept of Qi,
He then began sending his subordinates into this universe, one by one.
The first to study abroad with Gawain were, of course, Whitebeard and Kaido.
After all, they had already traveled similarly with Gawain within Gawain soul, and they understood the concept of another world better than others.
So, two days later, at the East Blue Capsule Corporation's leisure villa complex.
Whitebeard and Kaido's enormous bodies appeared one after the other.
Looking at the two towering figures, Bulma was overwhelmed with excitement. This was a real-life time paradox right before her eyes!
As Hawking once said, if time travelers had never existed in the universe, the world would be destined to be tragic.
Because that would mean humanity was completely destroyed before it could develop time travel technology...
Although the time travel before her was not pure time travel, the life forms from other universes made Bulma realize that humanity is not alone in the universe.
This feeling was very unique, even though Bulma already knew that her sister had run away with an alien.
But for her personally, sleeping with an alien was a real stroke of luck~~~.
Bulma aside Bulma's excitement, after arriving in the universe before them, Whitebeard and Kaido each excitedly followed Gawain on a two-round tour.
"Is this the universe you have entered this time, Your Majesty?"
This world doesn't seem very strong; at least the humans here are much weaker than those on our side.
Why are we being put to train in such a weak environment? That's strange.
Could their power hold some exciting secret?
As he asked the question, the Whitebeard looked with interest at the enormous botanical garden near the East Blue.
The agricultural institutions in the Tamayo are extremely large. Apart from the various city complexes, the countryside and wilderness, except for deserts and Gobi unsuitable for planting, are all incredibly vast farms and agricultural plants.
Who can blame them when the Tamayo is full of gluttons? Every now and then, someone will pop up who can eat hundreds of pounds in one meal.
Without vigorous development of agriculture, the world's people will never have enough to eat...
Looking at those agricultural products, Whitebeard felt very interested and wanted to implement a similar system in the world of One Piece.
Whitebeard's dream, even now, is still to ensure that all children have enough to eat.
Kaido was standing nearby, nodded in agreement after hearing Whitebeard's words.
"Even though it's not a very powerful universe, the people here all look very weak."
So, is the power here actually quite profound?
Gawain, tell us about the applications of Qi!
Even though they didn't understand why they needed to study, they both took their studies very seriously.
Looking at the two of them, Gawain smiled and shook his head.
"Don't just look at the strength of these humans in front of you, Newgate, Kaido."
Judging from their words, how could you possibly imagine that the place we are standing in now is actually one of the most dangerous universes out of countless worlds?
Even I am constantly worried that I might be swept away by some butterfly effect and disappear into thin air.
That's why I'm hesitant to bring you all to this universe!
"What?!!"
The two men with Whitebeard were extremely surprised by Gawain's statement.
At the same time, Gawain also explained the water in this universe to Whitebeard and his companion.
Indeed, even now, Gawain is not sure which Tamayo he is in.
After all, there are many different versions of the Tamayo. Gawain can prove now is that this universe is not the universe of Black Goku.
Goku did indeed smash his head upon landing...
As for the rest, who knows? Who knows if the God of Destruction might suddenly decide to destroy a planet, or Zeno might casually wipe out the lower-ranked Universe 7...
Gawain controlled his aura, letting the Whitebeard experience this method of ultimately summing all the power within his body into a single, unified aura, before continuing.
"What may seem like insignificant energy, when developed to its extreme, can wipe out the entire universe in an instant."
Such a vast ocean as ours could probably be wiped out by a single breath from a being skilled in manipulating air.
While ki doesn't offer as many convenient applications Devil Fruit, the various Devil Fruit are indeed adept at handling all sorts of complex situations.
But if Devil Fruit are keys to all kinds of situations, then ki is like a hammer that can smash all kinds of locks—brute force can overcome any technique.
At this point, Gawain shook his head and continued.
"I will introduce you to a teacher later."
That teacher is an old man, an old man who is even older than you.
However, none of you now are likely to be a match for that old man.
Because that old man could destroy the moon in an instant, something even you guys would find difficult to do now..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain looked up and glanced in the direction of the moon.
While Master Roshi's performance wasn't exaggerated, it's undeniable that a single, fully-powered Kamehameha could completely destroy the moon.
And this level of skill, at least in the current Pirate World, is only achievable by a handful of people like Kaguya and Imu...
As for Whitebeard and Kaido, even though they have mastered the methods of chakra training, they still... cannot do it for the time being...
Upon learning this news, Whitebeard and Kaido's arrogance immediately diminished considerably.
"A person who can easily destroy the moon? That's truly terrifying. I understand now. Even a seemingly weak world should never be complacent because of what it has seen!"
How can you have the right to think highly of yourself in a world if you don't truly understand it?
I understand. We'll go visit that senior you mentioned right away. We'll definitely learn that method of destroying the moon, gurara!
I'm actually a little excited, haha, it's been so long since I've experienced what it's like to be a student!
Amidst his laughter, Whitebeard believed he had grasped the limits of the world before him.
To everyone's surprise, Gawain clapped his hands lightly and continued speaking to them.
"I never said that destroying the moon is the limit of this world, Newgate, Kaido."
Even the power to destroy the moon is merely the lowest level of power in this world...
"What?"
Kaido was finally surprised.
"Is the moon here one of those giant planets too? So destroying the moon is just the beginning?"
"Certainly!"
Gawain nodded.
"There is a combat capability detection device in this world. Although it does not exist on Earth, it is now widely used in the universe."
And under the monitoring of that combat capability detection device, the old man I just mentioned whom you should learn from.
His combat strength is approximately... 139.
"Is 139 a high or low number?"
The Whitebeard asked solemnly.
Gawain sighed.
"It's... one of the lower levels. Many races' children are born with that kind of power."
A power of 139, in the universe, probably doesn't even reach the threshold of a warrior...
One needs a combat power of at least tens of thousands to be considered an elite cosmic warrior, and only those with a combat power of hundreds of thousands can be called truly elite cosmic warriors.
Even with that level of combat power, they were still mere ants, easily annihilated with a flick of a finger...
Because there are just too many powerful beings in this universe whose combat strength is measured in hundreds of millions!!!
"100 million..."
"One hundred and thirty-nine..."
Whitebeard and Kaido couldn't help but read out the two numbers, and they fell into a long silence in the face of such a stark contrast.
People like them have long been accustomed to seeing themselves as strong individuals.
But now, when they suddenly realize that they might not even be as important as a child in the world before them...
That ambition and desire to continue becoming stronger, stronger than their past selves could ever have imagined, instantly filled their hearts!
"I understand!"
Whitebeard pursed his lips excitedly and slammed his fist into the air!
"Kaido and Kaido will go visit that teacher. The power of ki is the key to reaching a battle power of hundreds of millions, right? Haha!"
"We'll definitely learn that power!"
At this moment, Whitebeard and Kaido instantly found their direction, and they were once again filled with the desire for power.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them jumped into the sea. After enjoying the seawater free of the Seastone Factor, they simply swam in the direction Gawain had pointed out.
Start exercising now!
And so, Whitebeard and Kaido became the first group of students to study under Gawain's command.
Gawain felt embarrassed to directly ask Master Roshi to lead the class, let alone to take charge of hundreds of his own talented and promising subordinates.
Therefore, it's better to let exceptionally talented individuals like Whitebeard and Kaido learn from them first, and then let those skilled at teaching, like Zephyr, further their studies.
Then they can gradually pass on the Qi to everyone.
Meanwhile, Whitebeard and Kaido were excited about studying abroad.
Gawain then arrived at the current Holy Land of Earth, the Korin Tower region.
Looking up at the endless Korin Tower, Gawain clasped his hands together and offered a small prayer.
Although Korin Tower is now just a short distance away in his eyes, he can conquer it easily.
But this is, after all, the origin of martial arts in the current world!
In the world of Dragon Ball, what exactly is the true origin of martial arts? Perhaps no one can say for sure.
Although the power of Qi originated from Earth and is what Earthlings are best at using, including using Qi to prevent being observed and suppressing one's own Qi to reduce one's combat power when being observed, these are unique traits of Earthlings.
But in reality, the energy on Earth was very likely passed down from the Grand Priest to the Zeno, then from the Zeno to the angels, then from the angels to the Gods of Destruction, and then all the way to the various King Kai.
Then, the King Kai of the Realms selected qualified planets to spread the concept of Qi, allowing each planet to gradually grow stronger.
In the end, the universes under the different Gods of Destruction will hold an ultimate martial arts tournament between them.
The victorious planets gain better rankings, while universes with lower rankings and weaker overall strength are destroyed by Zeno every so often...
The seventh universe, where Gawain is currently located, is one of the weaker universes, ranking near the bottom.
There's no way around it; Beerus, the God of Destruction of this universe, is just too lazy. In his hairless cat form, Beerus inherited the lifestyle traits of a hairless cat, taking a nap that can last for decades or even centuries, and he simply doesn't like to move around.
If he were more diligent, he could destroy even weak planets like Earth.
As the god of destruction, he can only motivate life in the universe to strive harder to become stronger by annihilating all the weak planets.
In other universes, those Gods of Destruction who effortlessly destroy entire planetary systems often rank higher than Beerus's region universe...
But having such a lazy God of Destruction is probably Earth's good fortune these days, isn't it?
And the Korin Tower before him...
This tower should actually be the true origin of martial arts on this planet Earth!
