Earth, battlefield.
"Heh heh, I'm looking forward to our next battle."
Son Goku smiled happily as well.
He and Vegeta were like evenly matched opponents; he admired that refusal to admit defeat in him.
It was as if he saw his former self in Vegeta.
When he thought back to his battle with King Piccolo, it was only through that unyielding spirit that he had finally defeated him.
Whoosh!
At that moment, Vegeta's spaceship landed before him, its hatch already open.
He slowly climbed into the spaceship, while Son Goku and the others did not stop him.
"You trash, I won't let you off! The next time I come to Earth, I'll kill every last one of you!"
Vegeta climbed aboard the spaceship and left them with a threat.
Krillin's mouth twitched repeatedly.
He wanted to rush over, drag the other man back down, and give him a thorough beating.
What a case of kindness going unrewarded. They had spared him, yet he was still thinking of coming back for revenge.
The hatch slowly closed, and the spaceship carried him away from Earth!
Not long after the Saiyan Vegeta left, a jet plane landed on the battlefield.
"Gohan, my poor Gohan, Mother's here!"
Master Roshi and the others arrived at the scene in the jet plane.
The moment Chi-Chi got off the plane, she rushed over and pulled Son Gohan into her arms, muttering without pause.
"I'm fine."
Son Gohan struggled a few times, but when he could not break free, he simply let Chi-Chi hold him.
It was the first time he had felt a mother's love. In his previous life, he had been an orphan.
He was also gradually accepting his identity as Son Gohan in the Dragon Ball World.
In this time and space, he had a dad, a mother, and a whole group of good friends.
"Chi-Chi, Goku is more seriously injured. Don't you want to come take a look at him?"
Krillin held Son Goku by the arm and spoke up indignantly.
The difference in treatment between the father and son was simply night and day.
"I don't care. If it weren't for him, my Gohan wouldn't have been dragged into adults' conflicts and faced something like this at such a young age."
Chi-Chi said without even turning her head.
She had not seen Son Goku and his son for an entire year.
Now that she saw both of them safe and sound, the huge weight in her heart was finally lifted.
But she still held resentment in her heart, deliberately ignoring Son Goku to vent her dissatisfaction.
If it had not been for her husband, her son would not have suffered such unfair treatment.
"..."
After hearing Chi-Chi's words, Son Goku's mouth twitched a few times, but he did not say anything.
If he had not died, perhaps Gohan would not have left Chi-Chi's side either.
It was understandable for her to blame him. Still, without Gohan's help today, Earth might have been in danger.
"Goku, it's truly wonderful to see that you're alright."
Master Roshi and Bulma came up to Son Goku at the same time.
Seeing that Son Goku, his son, and Krillin were all still alive, their eyes could not help but grow moist.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry. The Saiyan got away."
Son Goku explained.
"It's alright. It's already very good that you managed to drive the Saiyan away."
"Let's get you to the hospital first. There are no more Senzu Beans now, and it will take at least another month before they grow."
Korin said with a smile.
They had not seen Son Gohan display his immense power, so they all assumed Son Goku had driven the Saiyan away.
"I've thought of a way to bring everyone back to life."
After everyone boarded the plane, Krillin saw their heavy moods and suddenly spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Son Gohan knew that Krillin meant going to Planet Namek to search for the Dragon Balls.
He did not say anything else.
"What? Krillin, did you think of a good solution? Tell us quickly."
As if injected with adrenaline, everyone turned to look at Krillin.
They all wanted to know why he had said that. Did he know something?
"Bulma, let's preserve Piccolo and the others' bodies first. Then I'll tell everyone!"
Krillin led everyone to the place where they had fought the Saibamen and collected Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Piccolo's bodies.
"Krillin, can you tell us now?"
Bulma asked impatiently.
Yamcha was her boyfriend now, and she desperately wanted to know what method Krillin had mentioned to bring everyone back to life.
"When Goku returned from King Kai's place, Vegeta said that Piccolo was a Namekian. His home planet must have stronger Dragon Balls."
Krillin explained how, when Vegeta had ordered Nappa to kill Piccolo, he had mentioned that Planet Namek had Dragon Balls.
"That's right. We can take the Saiyans' Spaceship to Namek."
Son Gohan suddenly added.
Bulma took out a computer and began calculating how long it would take to travel from Earth to Planet Namek.
"Gohan is right. Look at this—the Saiyans' Spaceship Remote Control."
Krillin held the Remote Control in his hand and shook it twice, clearly showing how good his mood was.
"Really? Let me study it."
Bulma happily took the Remote Control from Krillin, her heart filled with excitement. She was as delighted as a child.
As long as they went to Planet Namek and found the Dragon Balls, they could revive Yamcha and the others.
West City Hospital, Inpatient Department!
In a room with three hospital beds, everyone had gathered to discuss who should go to Namek to search for the Dragon Balls.
After everyone arrived at the hospital, the doctors examined them.
Son Goku's injuries were serious. He would need to remain in the hospital for two months.
Korin had also said that he would grow Senzu Beans in a month.
That meant Goku still had to stay in the hospital for another month.
"What? Gohan is that strong?"
Krillin recounted all of Son Gohan's heroic deeds.
Only then did everyone realize just how incredible Son Goku's son's talent was.
They looked at Son Gohan with envy, jealousy, and resentment. Was that really power a child could possess?
Were Saiyans really monsters? Such terrifying power had been hidden inside a five-year-old child!
It seemed King Piccolo truly had a keen eye for talent.
At a glance, he had seen the powerful, terrifying force within Son Gohan and even drawn it out.
After their shock subsided, they finally discussed who would go to Planet Namek to search for the Dragon Balls.
Everyone's eyes turned toward Bulma.
"What? You want me to go to Namek to search for the Dragon Balls? I'm just a weak woman!"
Bulma pointed at her own nose in astonishment.
Although she also wanted to go to Planet Namek to find the Dragon Balls and revive Yamcha, the journey was long, and space was filled with too many unknowns. Besides, she was just a weak woman. What if she encountered danger?
