The battle between Son Gohan and Cell was a spectacular one; both of them reached a state of complete absorption, with only the enemy in their sight and the only goal being to eliminate their opponent.
"Is Gohan really alright?"
Krillin said casually. In his heart, Gohan had always been a kind and lovely child, and now he was burdened with such heavy pressure.
"Don't worry! He's Son Goku's son, he'll handle it."
Karot understood Gohan's personality; despite his seemingly gentle and weak appearance, he was actually strong inside.
The final showdown between Gohan and Cell has arrived. Gohan unleashes Kamehameha to finish off Cell, while Cell counters with a beam attack. Cell makes a major mistake: no matter how much of an advantage you have, never engage in a beam attack with a member of the Son family.
Cell and Gohan began a tug-of-war of ki, and with the addition of Earth warriors, Cell successfully sent himself to his doom.
After Cell was defeated, everyone felt a sense of relief. After all, they had all joined the fight to stop Cell, which allowed Son Gohan. However, Karot was powerless to stop him; he was now lying on the ground in pain all over.
"Let's go to the Kami's Lookout. Is there anything else we need to take care of?"
After Piccolo finished speaking, he flew away first, and the others followed. Krillin was the smartest one who knew to grab a girl, while Karot was supported by Trunks as they walked.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the Kami's Lookout, where Tenten Kami had been waiting for a long time.
Karot was the most severely injured, so he received treatment beforehand. Thanks to Tenten's gentle healing, Karot's injuries recovered at a visible speed—she's truly a great healer! As Karot recovered, Karot strength also increased. Tenten was even forced back by Karot's aura, and this was just a momentary burst of power from Karot. The Saiyan physique is fully displayed in Karot. Every time he returns from the brink of death, his strength increases. If Karot were to face Cell now, he could transform into Great Ape and fight for hundreds of rounds. This means Karot now has one foot in Super Saiyan 2.
"Karot, you've gotten stronger again."
Trunks had always been by Karot's side, felt this most clearly.
"Just a little bit."
Karot held up two fingers and pinched them together. But judging from the smile on his face, it was clear that it was much more than he had said.
Trunks was incredibly envious of Karot's talent. "We're Saiyan, why are you so much better?" he thought. Trunks had trained relentlessly since childhood to protect Earth, yet here others could effortlessly achieve levels he couldn't reach. (This refers to Gohan.) "Is there no justice in this world?" he thought.
"Don't worry. With your current strength, you're more than capable of dealing with Android 17 and Android 18 from your own timeline."
Karot patted Trunks on the shoulder and said, "This kid is under a lot of pressure because he has to rely on himself."
"Yes, I understand."
Trunks knew that with his current strength, he could easily deal with those two executioners. Just thinking about the sins they had committed Trunks unable to suppress the anger in his heart. The death of his teacher and friend Gohan had always been a knot in Trunks' heart. If he could have become Super Saiyan sooner, Gohan wouldn't have had to fight alone and might not have died.
As Trunks was lost in his fantasies, Shenron was summoned.
"I can grant you any three wishes."
This line is incredibly pretentious. It's off the charts just from bragging. They should really revise it. Maybe this Tenten is influenced by the Planet Namek Shenron!
Everyone's wishes were fulfilled one by one. The soldiers then began to say goodbye.
Karot accepted Krillin's invitation to stay at Turtle House. After all, it was home to the pioneer of the Turtle School, and Karot wanted to exchange ideas with him.
Time flew by, and it was the day Trunks was to return home in the Time Machine. Karot and the others came to see him off. After seeing Trunks off, Karot settled down at Master Roshi's house.
Karot and Master Roshi exchanged their martial arts experiences. After seriously fighting Master Roshi, Karot was indeed extraordinary; even he benefited greatly. Karot learned from Master Roshi's strengths and compensated for his weaknesses, resulting in a significant increase in his own power.
"Karot, you're a monster!"
Krillin said sincerely, "Karot seems to have no limits. Every day, Krillin can feel Karot's growth. Is this even fair?"
"Thank you. I appreciate the compliment."
Karot accepted Krillin's praise after the fight; after all, being called a monster was an acknowledgment of his strength.
When Karot stayed at Turtle House, his enthusiasm for training infected Krillin then joined in. Our Master Roshi also enthusiastically joined in the training, buying dozens of girls' magazines in one go. Blood kept spurting from his nose, and Karot was even a little afraid that Master Roshi would die from blood loss.
One day, an uninvited guest arrived at Turtle House —a beautiful young woman. Even the notoriously lecherous Master Roshi couldn't take his eyes off her. He tried to take advantage of her, but instead, he got a beating.
Krillin met his teacher again through the secret passage.
"Serves you right, don't you know who the other person is?"
"Hello, Android 18, what brings you here?"
Krillin asked nervously. Every time he saw Android 18, Krillin's heart would race uncontrollably.
"I came to see you. I'm planning to go shopping, but I have a lot to buy and I'm worried I won't be able to carry it all."
"I'll come help you!"
Krillin spoke quickly, as if he would miss his chance if he spoke too late. Then the two of them flew into the sky and disappeared from Karot and Master Roshi's sight.
"I never expected this! My foolish apprentice has finally found his day!"
Master Roshi was always worried that Krillin would spend the rest of his life alone. Even a tough guy like Son Goku had found a wife, while Krillin would only have him, an old man, to keep him company. Master Roshi was constantly worried that Krillin's sexual orientation would become abnormal, and that he would be left alone on the island with only himself and an old turtle. The thought of it terrified him.
"What's so good about women? They only slow down my cultivation."
After saying that, Karot continued his training. He knew exactly how strong his future enemies would be. He couldn't die; if he did, he wouldn't be able to be resurrected in the Dragon Ball World.
Master Roshi sighed inwardly upon hearing Karot's words.
"You're very similar to Goku; only people like you can possess such extraordinary strength."
Master Roshi had finished speaking his mind, but Karot naturally couldn't hear it. He was currently thinking about how to use the power of the Dragon Vein in the battle.
