Healing? I Was Born Knowing How

As Raditz teetered on the brink of death, he faintly realized that the white-haired man had healed Kakarot.

Could there really be such an outstanding healer on Earth?

No way!

I have to tell Vegeta and Nappa about this as soon as possible.

Damn it... I can't even speak right now.

I feel like I'm about to die.

"Luo Tian, was it really you who saved me?" Son Goku asked.

"Who else did you think it was? Otherwise, you'd already be checking in at the Underworld." Luo Tian smiled.

"Luo Tian, so you can heal people!" Son Goku was astonished. "I'm completely recovered. Not only that, I feel like I'm much stronger than before."

"Mm, your power level is probably around 800 now." Luo Tian nodded.

"What? A power level of 800! How is that possible?" Raditz's eyes widened in disbelief as he shouted.

"It's just the Saiyans' special constitution. Look at you—you're nearly dead, and you've already forgotten about it?" Luo Tian said with a dismissive smile.

"You... how do you know about our Saiyan constitution?" Raditz was utterly shocked.

But after saying that, Raditz used up his last breath. His legs kicked out, his head tilted to the side, and he died.

"Oh dear... I was going to tell you, but I didn't expect you to die just like that." Luo Tian sighed.

Son Goku and the others were completely speechless.

More astonishing than Raditz's death was the fact that Luo Tian could heal people.

"Luo Tian, when did you learn to heal?" Krillin asked.

"I was born knowing how. Do you believe me?" Luo Tian smiled.

Krillin: "..."

There was no talking to him.

You were born knowing how? Who would believe that?

You must have just learned it, right?

Otherwise, why had we never seen you use it before?

A distant planet in the universe.

"Raditz... is dead," Nappa said, his expression blank.

"What a pathetic guy. He was beaten by someone whose power level was just over 1,000." Vegeta shook his head as he gnawed on an alien's claw.

"What should we do? Are we heading to Earth once we finish up here?" Nappa asked.

"This is interesting news. It has to do with the Dragon Balls. They say they can grant any wish." Vegeta smiled and stood up. "All right, let's head out now."

"Are we going to save Raditz?" Nappa asked.

"Don't be ridiculous. What's the point of saving a loser like him?" Vegeta smiled. "What if the Dragon Balls made us young forever? Then we could fight for eternity."

"I see! Sure, no problem." Nappa nodded, his face full of anticipation.

"By the way, before he died, Raditz seemed to mention someone who could heal. Did you hear that?" Vegeta asked.

"I heard something. It was someone named Luo Tian, I think. He'd learned some kind of healing technique... Kakarot might have been brought back to life by him," Nappa said thoughtfully.

"You know, if we captured this Luo Tian guy and made him serve us, then used our Saiyan constitution... what do you think?" Vegeta suddenly said, struck by an idea.

Nappa's pupils shrank. He seemed to understand what Vegeta meant, and a hint of delight appeared on his face.

"Earth really is a strange place," Vegeta said with a smile.

"But... I don't think they'd make something like that up," Nappa said pensively, stroking his chin.

"Why not go and see for ourselves?" Vegeta smiled faintly.

"But now that I think about it, Vegeta, the name Luo Tian sounds kind of familiar..." Nappa mused. "I think there was someone named Luo Tian among the Saiyans."

"That was so long ago. Who could remember?" Vegeta shook his head. "Besides, even if there was a Saiyan named Luo Tian, he'd be dead by now. The universe is vast; it's perfectly normal for people to have the same name. And since his name is only two characters long, the odds of a namesake are even higher."

"True," Nappa said, nodding.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The two said no more. They immediately boarded their spherical miniature spaceships and sped off toward Earth.

"Kakarot's son has extraordinary power compared to a pure-blooded Saiyan," Nappa said to Vegeta aboard the ship. "Vegeta, do you think there's been some mistake?"

"No, there hasn't. When that child rammed into Raditz, his energy dropped significantly," Vegeta replied. "That child has Saiyan and Earthling blood. He's a powerful hybrid."

"If we keep producing people like that, the universe will belong to us Saiyans again." Nappa grinned.

"Don't be ridiculous. If that kid grows up, he'll be even stronger. Then we'll be in grave danger." Vegeta snorted.

"You're right. Let's wipe out all the humans on Earth first," Nappa replied.

"I haven't had a good night's sleep in ages." Vegeta closed his eyes.

"Then I'll see you in a year," Nappa replied.

Earth.

After accepting the fact that Luo Tian could heal people, everyone gradually calmed down and began making plans for what lay ahead.

"So two even stronger Saiyans will arrive on Earth a year from now," Son Goku said thoughtfully.

"By the way, how did Goku's brother know our exact location?" Bulma suddenly asked.

"He had a strange device on his face. It can detect an opponent's power and location," Piccolo added, glancing quietly at Son Gohan.

Son Gohan had passed out and was being carried by Master Roshi.

"Is that it?" Bulma pointed to the Scouter on Raditz's face. "Luo Tian, could you take it off for me?"

"Sure." Luo Tian smiled and stepped forward to remove the Scouter from Raditz.

Bulma put it on at once, pressed a few buttons, then took off the back cover and examined it closely.

"So that's how it works. What an advanced device. It's a little faulty, but still usable." Bulma nodded. "I'll take it back, study it carefully, and improve it. I'll also look for Yamcha and Tien Shinhan."

"Why don't we head back to Kame House first..." Master Roshi suggested.

"By the way, Piccolo, what are you planning to do next?" Son Goku asked him.

"Wah!" Piccolo gritted his teeth, and energy gathered around his severed arm.

"Pfft!"

In an instant, Piccolo's arm grew back.

"Pant, pant..."

However, regenerating his arm had taken a great deal of Piccolo's stamina.

Master Roshi: "..."

Bulma stared in astonishment.
