Earth.
"Holy shit."
"No way... this is Earth? I can sense Master Roshi's aura!"
"Earth? Someone tell me this isn't a dream—I feel Master Roshi's presence too."
"Heavens, this is Instant Transmission! From Planet Namek back to Earth takes at least six days, and now we're back in the blink of an eye?"
"Gohan, how did you do this?"
Son Gohan and the others appeared on Earth in an instant.
This incredible feat stunned everyone.
Good grief, even Kami couldn't pull off a technique like this.
"That's right, this is Earth."
A faint, pleased smile curved at the corner of Son Gohan's mouth.
Using Instant Transmission for the first time felt amazing.
From now on, there was no need to take a spaceship wherever he wanted to go.
Haha, so convenient and effortless.
"Gohan, how did you do it? Let's try again."
Son Goku said excitedly.
He thought this technique was absolutely incredible.
If he could learn it too, getting around would be so much easier.
"Alright, let's go to Master Roshi's place first."
Son Gohan wanted to test out the Instant Transmission skill again.
He began sensing Master Roshi's aura.
"Found it. Everyone, hold hands."
By now, Son Gohan's strength had reached the ceiling of Earth.
No aura could escape his perception.
He quickly locked onto Master Roshi's presence.
Whoosh!
The group vanished from their spot once more.
Roshi Island.
"Hehehe, now that's a fine sight."
Master Roshi was staring intently at a magazine.
Drool was practically dripping from his mouth.
"Grandpa."
"Master Roshi."
Suddenly, Master Roshi heard what sounded like Son Goku and Krillin's voices.
He paused, then moved the magazine away from his face.
And there stood Son Goku and the others right in front of him.
"Holy crap!"
"Goku, you all—"
Master Roshi rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
They had appeared out of thin air.
Was he hallucinating?
How did the Saiyans end up on Earth with Goku and the others?
"You old pervert, are you getting senile?"
"It's only been a little over a month, and you don't recognize us anymore?"
Bulma saw Master Roshi's dumbfounded expression and laughed without holding back.
This lecherous old man spent all day reading those trashy magazines.
"Ahem, ahem, so it really is you all."
"I thought I was seeing things!"
"It's great to see you made it back safely."
By this point, Master Roshi finally confirmed that Son Goku and the others had truly returned from Planet Namek.
"Hehehe, this is a new skill Gohan learned—Instant Transmission."
"We teleported here from Planet Namek."
Son Goku said with a face full of pride, as if he wanted everyone to know how accomplished his son was.
Hearing this, Master Roshi stared at Son Gohan like he was some kind of monster.
After everyone exchanged greetings, they recounted everything that had happened on Planet Namek.
Now Son Gohan finally understood the Instant Transmission skill granted by Planet Namek's Shenron.
It was a fusion version of the Yardratian and Kibito's Instant Transmission.
In the Dragon Ball anime, there were two versions of Instant Transmission.
The Yardratian's Instant Transmission could only move by sensing ki; if no ki was sensed, the technique couldn't be used.
But Kibito, the attendant of the Supreme Kai, had an Instant Transmission that didn't rely on ki; it could freely move to any lower realm or planet.
Mount Paozu!
"Oh, my Gohan, it's been almost two months since I've seen you."
"I wonder if you've washed your hair every day, or done your homework?"
Chi-Chi was spacing out at home, muttering nonstop to herself.
Ever since Son Goku and his son had left, she was often like this.
"Mother, we're back."
"Chi-Chi, are you alright?"
Son Gohan used Instant Transmission again to return to their home.
It turned out that after taking their leave of Master Roshi, they had also sent Bulma back to West City.
Krillin stayed behind at Master Roshi's place.
Vegeta was training in the Gravity Room at Bulma's house.
Son Gohan sold the three Ginyu Force spaceships to Bulma's Capsule Corp, earning a large sum of money.
"My Gohan, you're back."
When Chi-Chi heard Son Gohan's voice, she looked as if she'd been struck by lightning.
Her beautiful eyes blinked rapidly as she stared at Son Goku and his son.
After confirming she wasn't mistaken, she sprang up, dashed over in a single stride, and hugged Son Gohan, fussing over him.
Son Gohan handed over the large sum of money from selling the spaceships to Chi-Chi.
And he explained where the money came from.
Chi-Chi grinned from ear to ear, praising her son for growing up and being able to help earn money for the family.
From then on, the family began a new life.
Son Goku also started training in the Gravity Room.
Because Son Gohan had stored the spaceship Son Goku had used to go to Planet Namek into the System Inventory and brought it back.
That spaceship had a gravity device, and now it was finally useful again.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
Son Gohan calculated the time; King Cold should be coming to Planet Namek around now to look for Frieza.
He had a plan: gather everyone together and absorb their Battle Power attributes.
As the saying goes, even a mosquito's leg is still meat.
They could match general against general, soldier against soldier.
Son Gohan and his father used Instant Transmission to find Vegeta and Krillin, saying they'd take them to fight.
The two eagerly followed along.
North Kai's Planet.
Suddenly, several guests appeared out of thin air.
They were Son Goku and the others, who had come via Instant Transmission.
"Wh-what? How did you just appear out of nowhere?"
"That's incredible—we didn't even sense your ki just now."
"This technique is way too powerful. If you'd thrown a punch at us from behind..."
Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, Yamcha, and Piccolo were all stunned.
This move was simply too shocking.
"Uncle Piccolo."
Perhaps due to the influence of the original owner's memories, Son Gohan hugged King Piccolo around the waist, crying tears of joy.
Suddenly, images flashed through his mind of Piccolo protecting him with his life.
Back then, Piccolo had said with tears in his eyes, "Gohan... you were the only one who ever really talked with me."
"Gohan, well done. You're my pride."
King Piccolo's eyes grew moist as well.
All along, he had held great expectations for Son Gohan.
And the other had not let him down, successfully saving Earth and his home planet, Planet Namek.
Son Goku explained the reason for this visit—it was to go fight, and everyone was eager to try.
Son Gohan used the Grand Elder's Superpower to unlock everyone's potential.
King Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu's Battle Power all rose to over ten thousand.
