Because of Son Gohan, the course of events had changed somewhat.

Those children had not told them about the shortcut to Planet Namek. Even if they had, they would not have taken that route.

Because in the anime, they had been sucked into a spatial tunnel and fallen onto an abandoned planet.

There were also two trapped aliens there, who created illusions and made them search for the seven Dragon Balls.

In the end, they had even tried to steal their spaceship and leave them stranded on that abandoned planet forever.

"Gohan, that was amazing. You resolved everything in just a few words."

Krillin said with an admiring expression.

He had thought it would be impossible to reason with those little brats.

Unexpectedly, Gohan had solved the matter perfectly the moment he spoke.

"Yeah, Gohan. You really have matured a lot during the time you trained with Piccolo."

"I remember when I first met you, you were still very shy and always hid behind your dad."

Bulma said with a sigh as well.

She recalled the scene from a year ago, when Son Goku had brought Son Gohan to Kame House.

Krillin and Bulma both assumed that Piccolo's training over the past year had been effective. It never occurred to them that there could be any other reason.

"Yeah, life is unpredictable. People have to grow up eventually!"

Son Gohan said with a similarly wistful expression.

He had never imagined that he would be transported into the Dragon Ball World, where strength reigned supreme.

He was destined to never live the life of an ordinary person in this lifetime.

After that little farce, the three of them returned to their previous routine.

To pass the time, Bulma continued watching soap operas as usual.

The two continued sparring, while Son Gohan kept collecting the Battle Power attributes Krillin provided.

Far away at Frieza Force headquarters.

"What? Frieza has already gone to Planet Namek to search for the Dragon Balls?"

Vegeta had already undergone treatment, and his body had fully recovered.

Cui told him that after Frieza overheard their conversation on Earth, he had gone to Planet Namek in search of Dragon Balls that could grant wishes.

Vegeta was now as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. If Frieza gained immortality, he would never have a chance to turn things around.

"Vegeta, I know you want the Dragon Balls too, but they are something Lord Frieza has set his sights on. If you try to take them, that would be open betrayal. You cannot bear the consequences."

Cui warned him. Seeing Vegeta frustrated made him extremely happy.

"The Dragon Balls are mine."

After saying that, Vegeta rushed toward a spaceship.

As he passed a minion, he casually snatched the other man's Scouter.

He had to reach Planet Namek quickly.

In the blink of an eye, he entered the spaceship and flew toward Planet Namek.

"Vegeta, you actually dare to openly betray Lord Frieza. I won't let you get away with this."

Cui entered another spaceship and chased after Vegeta.

Planet Namek!

The environment here was beautiful. The people who lived here were kindhearted and valued peace. There were no conflicts or battles.

This planet had no night. Three suns took turns rising and setting in the sky, and a year here consisted of only ninety days.

A day ago, Frieza Force spaceships had landed on this planet, shattering its tranquility and peace.

The moment they landed, they began burning, killing, and looting. They killed the people from every Village and gathered the Dragon Balls together. It seemed they had come for the Dragon Balls.

Several powerful ki signatures had arrived, including one especially powerful, terrifying, and evil presence.

Like Earth, Planet Namek also had seven Dragon Balls. As long as all of them were gathered together, Porunga could be summoned to grant wishes.

The Grand Elder of Planet Namek lived atop a tall tower. It looked very much like Korin Tower on Earth and could be recognized from afar.

"Grand Elder, what should we do? More and more of our people's ki signatures are disappearing."

Nail, the strongest Namekian warrior, looked anxiously at the Grand Elder, who sat on his throne with his eyes closed.

"Stay calm when trouble comes. You must believe that miracles exist!"

Without opening his eyes, the Grand Elder spoke weakly.

The seven Dragon Balls had been created by the Grand Elder.

He was even taller than ordinary Namekians, but his life had now reached the point where his lamp was running out of oil.

As soon as the Grand Elder died, the Dragon Balls would disappear with him.

He had been clinging to life, hoping for a miracle so that he could use the Dragon Balls to revive his people.

"Thank you for your teachings, Grand Elder!"

Nail took several deep breaths and forcibly suppressed the agitation in his heart, hoping that the miracle the Grand Elder spoke of would appear.

In the vast universe, an insect-like spacecraft had already spotted a large green planet in the distance.

"Estimated arrival at the destination, Planet Namek, in ten minutes."

At that moment, the spacecraft's internal AI voice issued a reminder.

"Wow, it's so beautiful! We've finally reached Planet Namek. My body was practically starting to grow mold."

Bulma rose from her seat and stretched lazily, fully displaying her curvaceous figure.

"Is this Uncle Piccolo's hometown?"

Standing inside the spacecraft, Son Gohan looked at Planet Namek growing larger before him and spoke thoughtfully.

A great battle was about to begin. I looked forward to you contributing more for me.

"Dragon Balls, here I come!"

Krillin was also itching for action. After sitting in the spacecraft for an entire month, with their destination now right before his eyes, he shouted excitedly.

Watching the two of them so excited, Son Gohan was unconsciously affected by their mood and smiled as well.

Soon, the spacecraft landed safely on Planet Namek.

The three of them stepped out of the spacecraft and onto the ground, breathing in the fresh air of the planet with blissful expressions.

"I never expected Piccolo's planet to have such fresh air. It feels like there isn't any pollution at all."

Bulma greedily took several breaths, feeling much more comfortable all over. Spending a month inside that spacecraft had truly been unbearably boring.

As soon as Son Gohan arrived on Planet Namek, he sensed several stronger auras. It seemed Frieza had still arrived on Planet Namek before them.

"Hahaha, no wonder Lord Zarbon sent us here to investigate. So it was you three little brats who landed here!"

At that moment, two Frieza Force minions arrived.

Out of habit, they tapped the Scouters over their ears and detected that the two of them had combat power levels barely above one thousand.

It turned out that the moment they landed on Planet Namek, they had been pinpointed by the Frieza Force's Scouters.

"Saiyan accomplices? Why are there so many Evil Auras on this planet? One of them is even many times greater than Vegeta's aura."

Krillin had not expected to encounter Saiyan accomplices on Planet Namek. Did that mean Vegeta had also come to this planet?

How could there be such an overwhelmingly powerful Evil Aura?

"So noisy!"

Son Gohan had long noticed two weak auras flying toward them. Raising his hand, he fired an energy blast and disposed of the two minions.

There was simply no time to waste on them here.
