A Conclusion
The fact that the Dragon Ball's wish-granting power can be controlled by humans is undoubtedly a very beneficial thing for the stability of Earth. As the creator of the Dragon Ball, Kami has witnessed several disasters caused by the Dragon Ball during his hundreds of years in the Kami's Lookout, and he has also personally witnessed human greed.
The Dragon Ball's wish-granting power amplified human desires, and their greedy nature led to constant conflicts as they fought for the Dragon Ball.
Fortunately, no matter how much ancient humans fought, the damage they caused to the outside world was limited. But in this era, it's a different story. The large-scale technological weapons that humans have created can destroy human civilization several times over. Because of this, the Kami once suspected that the Dragon Ball he created were the source of the disaster, and even had the idea of destroying the Dragon Ball. However, because of his inexplicable affinity for the Dragon Ball, he never put this idea into practice.
Now that Roland has controlled the wish-granting power of the Dragon Ball through his own efforts, he has also resolved the Kami's concerns.
While it cannot stop human greed, as long as the Dragon Ball are kept in our hands and not misused, even the greatest disasters on Earth can be resolved quickly.
"Perhaps I should collect the Dragon Ball and put them in the Kami's Lookout."
The thought flashed through the Kami's mind, but he quickly rejected it. After all, there were still many pure-hearted people on Earth like Goku, and the existence of the Dragon Ball could at least bring them some hope.
Thinking this, the Kami's gaze began to drift into the distance. In the upper atmosphere, the thin clouds sometimes stretched and sometimes curled, constantly changing their shape, swaying uncertainly with the breeze.
The Lower Wasteland.
After Shenron disappeared, the seven Dragon Ball scattered to all parts of the world in a flash of light. For the next year, they would exist in the form of stone until the adjustment period ended and they would return to their Dragon Ball form.
Goku touched the wound at the severed end of his tail, and a sharp pain made him grit his teeth. "My tail has been cut off."
Bulma said, "You have no idea how terrifying you were just now. If my brother-in-law hadn't arrived, we would have been trampled to death by you."
"Grandpa always told me not to watch a full moon, but I forgot today is the full moon..." Goku scratched his head, and when he saw Roland, a look of doubt appeared on his face. "Have we met before? We seem so familiar."
Roland smiled and said, "I met you at Mount Paozu eight years ago. By the way, where is your grandfather?"
"Oh, it's you!" Goku remembered, but when he mentioned Son Gohan, Goku mood sombered. "Grandpa has passed away."
"You trampled him to death?"
"No, once Grandpa went to Uncle Ox-King King's house, and then went to the Five Elements Mountain. When he came back, he said he was going to die." Goku shook his head. Before his death, Son Gohan could be said to have explained everything. In addition to telling him not to look at the full moon, he also told him to go and train with Master Roshi.
So, did Son Gohan go to Laozi's place Taishang Laojun the Five Elements Mountain?
This old man also has a side like Master Roshi.
Roland nodded. Son Gohan's life or death was irrelevant to the plot, but it seemed that he wasn't trampled to death by Goku, so his earlier warning had some effect.
Afterwards, Roland glanced at everyone, told Bulma that Tights missed her and told her to visit the seaside villa when she had time, and then disappeared instantly in front of everyone.
Roland arrived and disappeared quickly. Bulma witnessed Roland suddenly vanish, rubbed her eyes, and exclaimed, "He was so fast! He disappeared in an instant! Goku, did you see that clearly?"
"I can't see it at all. This doesn't seem like movement speed. Bulma, your older brother is amazing. I really want to have a match with him."
Oolong then said, "You definitely can't beat him. He was easily dealt with even when he transformed into a monster." He then told Goku about what happened after Great Ape Transformation, "In short, you're no match for him at all. He could immobilize you with just one finger."
"Oolong, shut up."
Bulma roared angrily at Oolong, then smacked him on the head. "Goku and my brother-in-law are from the same race, so he'll definitely become stronger in the future too!"
Goku paused for a moment, and after hearing Oolong and Bulma's account, he vaguely recalled what had happened after he took on the Great Ape form. Instead of being discouraged, his face was filled with boundless fighting spirit. "Wow, that's amazing! Now I want to fight him even more. But you're right, I'm still no match for him. I must train hard."
"You're planning to train with Master Roshi?"
Because Bulma didn't ask Master Roshi for the Dragon Ball or get taken advantage of by him, she didn't know Master Roshi 'Master Roshi true nature even though they had met once. Otherwise, she would never have felt comfortable letting Goku train with him.
Goku nodded and said, "Yes, Grandpa told me to go and train with Master Roshi before."
Next came the time for parting. After the journey to find the Dragon Ball ended, Bulma had to go back to continue her studies, while Goku had to go to Master Roshi's place for training.
As Goku summoned his Flying Nimbus to head to Kame House, Bulma took a Communicator out of her pocket and gave it to Goku, telling him to contact her when he had time and that they would go on adventures together in the future. Goku patted his chest, put the Communicator away, and then rode his Flying Nimbus eastward.
As the faint golden line of the Flying Nimbus gradually disappeared, Bulma smoothed her light purple hair, her gaze fixed on it.
"Next time we meet, Goku might be even stronger."
She murmured in a barely audible voice, a faint smile appearing on Bulma's beautiful face.
Oolong curled his lip, "He's already as strong as a monster; if he gets any stronger, it'll be terrifying."
Bulma glared at him immediately, Oolong shuddered, shutting his mouth instantly. Bulma was a woman who could unleash a machine gun when she got angry, and with her incredibly powerful brother-in-law, Oolong knew he couldn't afford to mess with her.
"Hmph, I'm going back. I must get to the bottom of this when I get home. If it weren't for this accidental discovery of my brother-in-law's immense power, I don't know how long I would have been kept in the dark." Bulma thought to herself, then took out a jet plane and prepared to head back to the West City.
The Dragon Ball journey has ended, and many changes have occurred compared to the original story.
Yamcha, having suffered repeated blows from Goku and Chi-Chi, coupled with his severe gynophobia, had given up on the idea of leaving the desert; as for Chi-Chi, because she had entered the Kami's Lookout to train at a young age, although her relationship with Goku was still relatively close, it was now just that of fellow disciples.
The marriage arrangement described in the original story as a farce never happened.
For Chi-Chi and Goku, this outcome might be more appropriate. Chi-Chi wouldn't have to worry about her future, and Goku could focus wholeheartedly on his training.
Because of Son Gohan's upbringing, Goku's mind remains simple, but he's not as clueless about human relationships as he was in the original story. However, for Goku and Bulma at this stage, such changes seem insignificant and have little impact on them.
As agreed with Master Roshi, Goku rode his Flying Nimbus directly to Kame House in the East Blue.
When Krillin was about to become Master Roshi's apprentice, a small boat came from the sea, and a bald man named Krillin jumped off the boat. He also wanted to become Master Roshi's apprentice. Master Roshi's test for him was to find a beautiful girl and then he would accept him as a disciple. Since Blue-haired Launch had already been taken away by Sephiria, Krillin did not pass Master Roshi's test.
Finally, after being persuaded by Goku, Master Roshi reluctantly accepted Krillin as his apprentice, but with one condition: Krillin had to participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament the following year and achieve good results, or he would be kicked out. Krillin nodded hastily upon hearing this.
And so, Goku and Krillin's training began.
Master Roshi's training philosophy is hidden in daily life, emphasizing the accumulation of fundamentals. Therefore, even though Goku is already very strong, he still diligently trains with Krillin, delivering milk and cultivating land...
