Upon hearing Gawain's answer, King Yemma nodded slightly.
"Hehe, since they are guests from other universes, and it seems the Grand Priest doesn't have any objections, I can be more flexible in my attitude."
Gawain, right? What are you doing in the underworld? Did you have any friends who died in this universe?
"Without."
Gawain suppressed the rising rage within him and continued speaking to King Yemma.
"I'd like to interview the King Kai nearby, the one who's very close to Earth."
"Oh, in that case, you'll have to go through the Snake Way from the underworld to King Kai's Planet, but I think you should be fine."
Sure, I have no problem with that. You can go if you want.
However, I must remind you that you are, after all, a living person, so you must be fast enough to navigate the Snake Way.
Otherwise, there won't be any food for you in the underworld. If you walk too slowly, you'll starve to death on the Snake Way.
But don't worry, even if you die here, I'll still be the one to take care of you. You must be quite capable; you'll get a good job with me, hehe~~~."
King Yemma's attitude was exceptionally kind, which can be considered a characteristic of the Dragon Ball Universe.
After all, in this universe, it seems that apart from the God of Destruction, the other gods are generally quite benevolent.
The Grand Priest's two children, who are the angels, are very kind. They are old enough that the King Kai, who know the Gods of Destruction and the angels, are also very kind.
However, some young King Kai who have only been in power for a short time, whose lineage has been broken, and who are not even known to the Gods of Destruction.
Their attitude was rather indifferent.
However, Gawain was too lazy to see them.
After receiving permission to travel to King Kai's Planet, Gawain bid farewell to King Yemma and Kami, and traveled through the Snake Way to reach King Kai's Planet.
After telling a few simple jokes, King Kai agreed to Gawain's request.
He chuckled, supporting his large belly, and made a grand promise to Gawain.
"I see, haha, your subordinates need training to become stronger, right?"
I also really hope that I can eat more useful and powerful people in the future. Since you have this kind of strength, then feel free to come and train with me when the time is right.
There's never been many people here, not even anyone who can listen to jokes, and even fewer who can tell me jokes.
That King Yemma is really something, he doesn't even send me more guests, calling it respect... Sigh...
He clearly saw that I had angered the God of Destruction, so he was taking the opportunity to make things difficult for me...
Wait, little shoes... little feet...
Oh ho ho ho...
Pfft!
The King Yemma with bound feet???
Pfft... Uh hahahahaha!!!
Amidst King Kai's inexplicable laughter, Gawain paved the way for his subordinates to train directly to King Kai's Planet.
As for what happens next, let's wait until they experience that time before we talk about it.
After all, Gawain would find it difficult to clear the path of cultivation ahead. He was already struggling to deal with Cell, let alone Majin Buu.
Furthermore, setting aside the super martial arts techniques that can be taught to everyone at the Ultra Instinct, there are other examples.
In the Tamayo, the systematic knowledge of ki that can be learned basically ends with King Kai.
Even if you were to seek guidance from a higher-level King Kai, you would likely only learn skills like fusion.
That said, Gawain really does want to see Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju combined.
I wonder what they'll be called after they merge—Will it be Uchiha Hashirama Senju Madara?
Leaving aside these trivial matters, time passed by as Gawain and his group engaged in endless cultivation.
Gawain asked Bulma to build him a gravity training room, and he immersed himself in crazy training every day.
The others followed Master Roshi's instructions and trained together.
Although in the original story, the time that Goku and the others spent training was unimaginably short.
But in reality, the concept of "qi" is profound and complex, and even heroes with talents like Mihawk and Roger would find it difficult to fully comprehend in a short period of time.
Without the help of the world's will, or rather, without the protagonist's halo, it would be very difficult for them to quickly master the essence of Qi cultivation.
And so, in the realm of training, these heroes from other universes were temporarily surpassed by Goku and Krillin.
Looking at the hundreds of students earnestly digging and practicing their punches, Master Roshi put his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with emotion and nostalgia.
There was a time when Master Mutaito had just as many disciples and apprentices as he does now.
However, King Piccolo's sudden emergence shattered the backbone of Earth's martial arts world.
The bravest martial artists were the first to die tragically, and Piccolo went door-to-door targeting the stronger ones, naming them one by one.
It wasn't until Master Mutaito sacrificed his life that King Piccolo was finally sealed away...
Whether it's Roshi or his senior brother, Master Shen...
They were both... heartbroken...
After that, they didn't collect addresses much anymore.
If you think about it, the two of them could actually be considered the root cause of the decline of martial arts on Earth over the past three hundred years.
Looking back now, Master Roshi suddenly felt a pang of regret.
If back then, after his teacher's death, he hadn't competed with Master Shen for the title of Master Mutaito's true successor, but instead had left the Turtle School and taken on many disciples to teach.
Even without Gawain's help, countless worthy young people would have emerged in Earth's martial arts world.
Why...
All these years, I've really... deserved to die!
Wine and women have corrupted me, causing even a martial arts master like myself to lose the will to become stronger!
So, starting today, I'm quitting alcohol!
I must give up drinking and then pick up the arduous training again!
Otherwise...
Looking at the incredibly focused apprentices around him, Master Roshi swallowed hard.
Before those apprentices even mastered the application of qi, they could smash a mountain with their physical strength alone!
With such a physique, once the path of Qi is opened...
Won't they easily surpass him as their teacher?
Thinking of this, Master Roshi coughed twice, interrupting everyone's training.
Hearing Master Roshi cough, Garp grinned and said...
"Hey, teacher, he's coughing. What's wrong, teacher? Is there something you want to say?"
"Don't interrupt, Garp!"
Newgate casually patted Garp on the shoulder.
"Let's hear what Master Roshi has to say."
Although we are all old ghosts in our seventies and eighties, Master Roshi has truly lived for over three hundred years. Even without his guidance, we should still respect such an elder.
You shouldn't be so reckless!
After interrupting Garp's teasing, Whitebeard and the others silently looked at Master Roshi, waiting for Master Roshi's reprimand.
Looking at the unusually serious group of apprentices around him, Master Roshi suddenly broke out in a sweat.
"Actually... actually, I quite like your carefree attitude."
After all, those who practice martial arts should have a different kind of spirit than ordinary people.
But I do have something to say right now!
After a brief pause, Master Roshi coughed again, then rested his chin on his fist and spoke.
"It's like this, I was really pleased to see so many of you practicing martial arts so diligently!"
Therefore, I intend to... I intend to go a step further and make my teacher's dream a step further!
I studied under Master Mutaito, a powerful martial arts master who once sealed away King Piccolo. If he hadn't encountered King Piccolo in his lifetime, he would have spread martial arts to more people and created a golden age of martial arts!
However, after his death, my senior brother and I, two good-for-nothing disciples, fought endlessly over the title of "true disciple of Master Mutaito," never truly considering our teacher's dream.
This is my failure as a disciple!
So..."
Master Roshi's expression became much more serious. He took a deep breath and then spoke heavily.
"Therefore, I hope that you will all participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament!"
On the one hand, I hope that you all can consider yourselves disciples of the Turtle School; this is, in a way, a humble request from this old man... this old man.
On the other hand, I hope that you all can let the audience around the world who World Martial Arts Tournament truly witness our martial arts!
I want them to know that true martial arts are not the outdated trash they talk about, inferior to guns and cannons!
I hope that you all can use your spirit and energy to recreate a glorious era unique to martial arts!!!
Having said this with deep emotion, Master Roshi bowed deeply to his apprentices.
Seeing the teacher's demeanor, everyone looked at each other, then nodded without hesitation.
"No problem."
"No problem!"
"To show off in front of others."
"It's just for showing off."
"A doll factory?"
"No joking around like that, the master's wife is here!"
"I see..."
Amidst the cacophony of responses, Master Roshi turned around, moved, and discreetly wiped his eyes.
The dream of strengthening the martial arts world, which I had almost forgotten...
It's actually getting closer to me like this?
Quietly, time flew by, and the first martial arts tournament was held as scheduled.
Of course, Goku Krillin participated in this martial arts tournament, along with Master Shen, Tien Shinhan has three eyes.
But...
In the end, Tien Shinhan had already met his defeat before even encountering Goku.
The one who eliminated Tien Shinhan was none other than Kaido, who could now unleash the Kamehameha with his mouth...
Of course, with Tien Shinhan out of the running, Goku naturally couldn't make it into the top 16 either.
Although he is Saiyan, Goku of this era relies more on instinct in his fighting spirit and is far from reaching the level of the future Goku.
Despite being on par with Tien Shinhan, he was ultimately defeated by Minato Namikaze.
Minato Namikaze was already one of the top ninjas in the speed-based style. After mastering the application of ki and learning a series of taijutsu techniques that enhance physical strength, such as the Rokushiki, he achieved great success.
Even among Gawain's subordinates, he now only has a dozen or so men who can handle him.
And so, all those who were originally qualified to compete for the championship and runner-up positions failed to even make it into the top sixteen.
Ultimately, the two who truly made it to the finals were Whitebeard, the pinnacle of the Pirate World, and Hashirama, the Hashirama of the Naruto World!
Logically speaking, Hashirama should be weaker than Madara with the Rinnegan.
Unfortunately, after Hashirama broadened his horizons and learned more knowledge,
Madara Uchiha ultimately returned to the fate of being suppressed by Hashirama.
And so, the people of Earth in the Tamayo truly broadened their horizons, watching in disbelief as Hashirama Senju and Whitebeard clashed in a fierce battle on television.
Whether it was the Tremor-Tremor Fruit or the Sage Art: Wood Release, they all dazzled the audience, including the host.
As for the Kami of Earth.
Looking at that large group of people who, though not particularly powerful, possessed incredibly skillful fighting techniques and combat experience, his eyes began to shine with happiness.
One day, the Earth may finally stand up!
We no longer need to rely on a few dead people from the underworld to make a show of things!
The Kami were excited and prepared to instruct those people at any time.
And this was all under the observation of the Kami.
Hashirama Senju narrowly defeated Whitebeard and won the championship of this World Martial Arts Tournament.
The people of the Pirate World were extremely dissatisfied with this result, and then quietly increased their training intensity.
Soon, people like Mihawk began to challenge themselves to climb Korin Tower.
Year after year, everyone's progress has been updated, and today, Uzumaki Naruto has become the first to rush into King Kai's Planet to receive training from King Kai and the monkey.
At the same time, Gawain's gravity training also increased from 300 times to nearly 500 times.
With such strength, his power is probably approaching that of Vegeta from the Buu era.
After all, Vegeta was unable to transform into Super Saiyan 3 because his normal strength was too great.
Even during the Buu era, Vegeta could only fight using Super Saiyan 2.
But speaking of Vegeta...
On this day, Gawain suddenly opened his eyes in the Gravity Room.
Someone rang the gravity-operated doorbell.
A moment later, gravity canceled out the lock, the door opened, and Mrs. Brief Panchy walked in.
"Gawain, it's time to eat. Also, that alien you asked us to observe seems to have arrived on Earth."
However, your subordinates rushed over as soon as that person arrived, so I didn't inform you immediately.
Also, hey hey, Gawain ~.
You and Xiao Bu Ma have been together for many years, shouldn't you consider having a child?
Bulma's body is mature enough to have children, so this should be fine, right?
"Uh... I understand."
Faced with his mother-in-law's urging, Gawain nodded and gave an unnatural smile.
Over the years, he has focused solely on increasing his strength, and has indeed missed out on quite a few things in his life.
As he thought about it, he got dressed and followed Panchy out.
After walking around the corridor to the observation room, Bulma rushed over and hugged Gawain, while pointing out the observation screen in front of them.
Looking at Raditz, who stood before Whitebeard and his crew with a face full of surprise and panic, Gawain nodded knowingly.
It really is the Saiyan attacking.
As for Raditz, he truly lives up to his reputation as a cosmic powerhouse whose hairstyle reached the level of Super Saiyan 3 right from birth.
Even Whitebeard found it difficult to deal with him.
Only...
If Raditz is beaten too badly, will Vegeta not come?
Probably not?
Or perhaps it's precisely because there are certain strong individuals that Vegeta is eager to rush over?
