Crossing Into the Dragon Ball World

The Dragon Ball World.

Earth.

What the hell!

Isn't that Nappa, the bald background character from the Dragon Ball World?

And isn't the person chasing after him the protagonist of Dragon Ball, Son Goku?

Why are they charging toward me?

Could it be that I've crossed over into the Dragon Ball World?

Su Mu stared in shock at the two men rushing toward him.

"Gohan, hurry and get out of the way!"

Krillin roared, thinking Son Gohan had been frightened stiff by the other man's imposing aura.

After all, Gohan had only trained with Piccolo for a year, and his very first battle had put him up against such a powerful opponent.

Vegeta folded his arms and watched the scene, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

Kakarot's son had lived such a comfortable life on Earth that he kept getting scared by scenes like this, time and again.

Hadn't he done well after that Namekian was killed by Nappa just now?

Why had he turned into such a coward again?

Suddenly, a flood of memories surged into Su Mu's mind.

He finally understood: he had crossed over into the Dragon Ball World and had even become Son Gohan as a child.

Su Mu had originally been a chef on another Earth. He was 1.8 meters tall and handsome, with refined features.

While working the night shift at a hotel, he'd suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his chest and then lost consciousness.

When he woke up, he discovered that his soul had crossed over into Son Gohan's childhood body.

Their souls had unexpectedly merged together, which meant the two of them were now one and the same.

In other words, he had been given a second life, and his name now was Son Gohan.

Su Mu had been a diehard Dragon Ball fan since childhood.

He'd always admired the Dragon Ball protagonist Son Goku's refusal to give up.

Starting as a Low-Class Warrior, Goku had steadily surpassed the genius warrior Vegeta.

And now he had crossed over into Son Gohan's body, with Son Goku as his dad.

It was true that he liked Son Goku, but this plot was way too ridiculous!

"Gohan, there's no time! Kaio-ken!"

Son Goku shouted anxiously. Nappa was only five or six meters away from Gohan and Krillin.

He decisively used Kaio-ken, his speed surging as he caught up and landed a heavy punch on Nappa's spine.

Then, moving at super speed, he caught the badly injured Nappa with one hand and tossed him toward Vegeta.

"What? Kakarot's Battle Power just shot above eight thousand in an instant!"

The Battle Power reading on the Scouter in Vegeta's ear had spiked, then quickly returned to normal.

He stared at Kakarot in shock, a wicked grin appearing on his face. This was getting more and more interesting.

The Scouter only interferes with my judgment. Earthlings and Kakarot can increase their Battle Power as much as they like.

He plucked the Scouter from his ear and crushed it in an instant.

A year ago, Kakarot's Battle Power had only been a few hundred. He'd needed the Namekian's help to kill Raditz.

Now he'd defeated Nappa, who had a Battle Power of five thousand, in one hit. How had he trained?

"Gohan, are you all right?"

Son Goku lowered his head and asked, gazing lovingly at his son.

Nappa had been about to attack Gohan and Krillin just now, so at the critical moment, he'd used Kaio-ken.

He'd broken Nappa's spine with one heavy punch, afraid that Nappa would hurt his son and his brother Krillin again.

The price Earth had paid this time had been devastating. Piccolo and the others had died one after another protecting the planet.

He would never allow anything like that to happen again.

"That scared me to death. Good thing you got here in time, Goku. Otherwise, Gohan would've been in serious trouble."

Krillin patted his chest to calm himself down.

Seeing Son Gohan looking as if Nappa had scared him silly, he walked over and took his arm, reassuring him. "Gohan, it's all right now. With your dad here, we're safe."

After all, Son Gohan was still just a child, and this battle had been far too intense.

"Dad, Uncle Krillin, I'm fine."

Son Gohan hadn't expected calling him "Dad" to feel so natural.

After all, Su Mu's and Son Gohan's souls had merged, as if he had awakened memories from a past life.

The Dragon Ball story had now reached the point where Yamcha and the others had been killed one after another by the Saiyan Nappa, who had invaded Earth.

Piccolo had also sacrificed himself to protect Son Gohan, and Earth's Kami and the Dragon Balls had disappeared.

Just as Gohan and Krillin's lives had been hanging by a thread, Su Mu's soul had crossed over into Son Gohan's body.

After fighting Nappa for a while, Son Goku had shown Vegeta that Nappa was no match for his opponent.

Vegeta had ordered Nappa to withdraw from the fight, intending to take the field himself.

But Nappa, furious and humiliated, had tried to attack Son Gohan and Krillin again.

How could Son Goku let him act recklessly right in front of him? He'd struck decisively and crippled Nappa.

That was how Su Mu had ended up seeing bald Nappa and Son Goku charging toward him.

Su Mu took in the people of the Dragon Ball World. They looked much the same as they did in the anime.

As he looked at the Second Elder, Vegeta, and the short Krillin, a mechanically synthesized voice rang out in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have successfully activated the Attribute Pickup System.]

[This system allows you to pick up Battle Power attributes and skill attributes dropped by others.]

A system?

The ancients hadn't lied to me after all. It really is a transmigrator's essential cheat. Son Gohan was overjoyed.

"Vegeta, save me!"

Nappa lay badly injured on the ground, feebly reaching out toward Vegeta with a pleading look.

He'd never imagined that after Kakarot struck him with that heavy blow, he wouldn't be able to stand up at all.

"Go to hell, Nappa. I don't need useless trash by my side."

A wicked grin appeared on Vegeta's lips.

He spun the terrified Nappa around in a full circle and flung him into the air, then formed a huge Energy Wave in his hand and chased after him.

"Vegeta, you won't die well! I won't let you go, even as a ghost!"

"Ah!"

A scream filled with fury and resentment echoed through the air.

Nappa had never imagined that after obeying Vegeta without question all this time, he would end up like this.

Kakarot hadn't even killed him, yet he'd died at the hands of his own comrade. What a bitter irony.

The Energy Wave instantly swallowed Nappa's body. One fewer Saiyan now remained in the universe.

[Ding! One hundred Battle Power attributes detected ahead. Pick them up?]

The system's mechanically synthesized voice rang out in Son Gohan's mind.

He was so excited that he looked toward Vegeta.

Sure enough, an attribute had dropped at Vegeta's feet. Of course, only he could see it.

The bald Nappa had finally died at the hands of the Second Elder, Vegeta.

It seemed the Dragon Ball story hadn't changed direction because of his transmigration.

Pick it up!

Son Gohan was overjoyed and silently thought the words without thinking.

The attribute instantly flew into his body. He felt the strength within him increase.

This system was ridiculously overpowered! I just gained 100 Battle Power in one go!
