Planet Yardrat

With the guidance of Old Kai, Dende's progress should not be too slow.

If the sentiment is right and his potential is unlocked, he will take off instantly.

Son Gohan suddenly felt a bit expectant.

Next, Son Gohan had to plan for his and Trunks' future.

The goal was clear: they were going to Planet Yardrat.

To learn Instant Transmission, and many other marvelous techniques.

But leaving this time would not be a matter of just a day or two.

Son Gohan remembered very clearly.

It took Son Goku more than half a year just to learn Instant Transmission; adding the travel time, it totaled a full year.

With him and Trunks gone for such a long time, he was truly worried about the safety of Earth.

Fortunately, most obstacles had already been cleared in advance.

Cell had been killed, and Majin Buu had already been transferred to the Sacred World of the Kai.

Both of these major bosses had been handled by him ahead of time.

As for that Zamasu, who he didn't even know existed yet, it was impossible for him to jump out and cause trouble so early, so Son Gohan felt relatively at ease.

But to ensure nothing went wrong.

The prudent Son Gohan still asked the Supreme Kai and North King Kai to help him keep an eye on Earth.

If anyone without eyes came to cause trouble, Son Gohan figured that with Kibito at his disposal, where in the vast galaxy could he not go? He would beat them until they doubted their own lives.

Trunks was full of excitement when he learned that Son Gohan was taking him to another planet to train.

Bulma, however, was a bit reluctant to let the brothers Son Gohan and Trunks go, fussing over one then the other, pulling them aside to talk for a long time.

"Gohan, since you're going to be gone for so long, aren't you going to say goodbye to Videl? She asks about you every day when she's here; that girl must have fallen for you," Bulma said.

Son Gohan thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, I'll talk to her when I get back."

"Aren't you afraid of breaking her heart?" Bulma looked helpless.

"Haha, it's not that serious. I haven't actually met her that many times. Right now, she's just curious about me. Talking about love and such is too far-fetched; it'll be fine."

"What about you, Trunks? Do you want to go see Komai?" Son Gohan teased Trunks.

Trunks' face turned red in an instant: "No, I'm not going, I'm definitely not going. Brother Gohan, you should worry about marrying Sister Videl first."

"Hahaha, look at you getting shy." Son Gohan pointed at him and laughed heartily.

That night, perhaps because he was too excited, Trunks suffered from insomnia.

But even so, Trunks still climbed out of bed early, looking full of energy.

After the brothers hurriedly washed up, Bulma had already had the robots prepare a delicious breakfast.

And just at this time, Kibito arrived at Capsule Corp.

At Son Gohan's warm invitation, Kibito felt a bit embarrassed to join them for breakfast, but his appetite rivaled that of a Saiyan.

Afterward, under Bulma's reluctant gaze, Kibito teleported away from Earth with Son Gohan and Trunks.

Looking at the suddenly empty house, Bulma sat dazed on the sofa for a full hour before listlessly going to test the Time Machine.

North Galaxy.

Planet Yardrat.

Three figures appeared out of thin air with a "whoosh."

It was Son Gohan and the others.

"Sorry for the trouble, Kibito," Son Gohan said.

Trunks also followed up, "Thank you, Mr. Kibito."

Kibito maintained his stoic expression and said, "You are welcome. Mr. Gohan, if you need anything, please contact the Old Ancestor, and I can come to pick you up at any time."

"Mm, sounds good." Son Gohan nodded.

"Then goodbye, Mr. Gohan, Mr. Trunks," Kibito said, waving at the two of them.

"Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

Trunks, being called "Mr." for the first time, felt his favorability toward Kibito increase greatly and waved back.

With a "whoosh," Kibito vanished instantly.

Son Gohan and Trunks carefully observed their surroundings.

Looking up, what met their eyes were endless skyscrapers. These towering buildings were exquisitely and uniquely designed, full of a sense of technology, not losing to any city on Earth, and perhaps even surpassing them.

In comparison, Namek was like a planet inhabited by primitive humans, desolate to the extreme.

Beyond these towering buildings, the surrounding area was packed with a dense crowd of Yardratians. These Yardratians were all staring at the two of them, as if they had been watching for quite some time.

At this moment, the leading Yardratian suddenly moved.

He walked toward the Son Gohan brothers, and as he moved, the dense crowd of Yardratians followed, closing in around them.

In an instant, the sound of footsteps, "tap-tap-tap," became incessant.

At a rough estimate, there were no fewer than two hundred of them.

Observing the tense atmosphere, Trunks became vigilant and whispered, "Brother Gohan, what are they trying to do? Are they planning to jump us?"

"It's fine, just wait and see; they don't have any killing intent," Son Gohan said, carefully observing these Yardratians.

Son Gohan had seen the clothing these people were wearing once before; it was the same style that Son Goku had worn when he returned from here over a decade ago, almost identical in design.

The Yardratians surrounding them were of two distinct types.

One type had pink skin all over, bulging dead-fish eyes, and a scalp covered in dense black spots, looking entirely devoid of aesthetic appeal, much like the alien E.T.

The other type possessed a massive, garlic-shaped head, very simple facial features, and skin that looked remarkably like a slime.

If forced to choose which of the two looked better, Son Gohan felt the second type was at least acceptable.

At the very least, their heads were round, and their simple features were quite cute.

The leading Yardratian was a garlic-head, and he had also been sizing up Son Gohan and Trunks.

The garlic-head came to a halt a few meters away from Son Gohan and Trunks, then spoke up: "Greetings, guests from another world."

His voice was soft, much like his appearance.

"Hello, friends of Yardrat. My brother and I come from Earth. As you can see, we have no ill intent; we came here hoping to learn some techniques from you."

Son Gohan said with a smile, trying his best to appear gentle.

Upon hearing Son Gohan's words, the garlic-head was surprised.

"Huh? You come from Earth? Do you happen to know Son Goku?"

Oh, they had actually run into an acquaintance?

Son Gohan felt a surge of joy in his heart.

He then smiled and said, "Hello, Son Goku is my father, and my name is Son Gohan."

"Ah, I see! No wonder you look so similar. Welcome, welcome! How is Goku doing these days?"

The garlic-head seemed very happy, though because his facial features were so simple, his expression appeared simple as well.

Son Gohan sighed and said, "My father passed away over ten years ago."

"Ah, Mr. Goku has passed away?" The garlic-head was greatly shocked.

"Yes, only a year after returning from Yardrat, my father suddenly passed away from a viral heart disease," Son Gohan answered truthfully.

"That is truly a great pity. Please accept my condolences, Mr. Gohan," the garlic-head said.

"..."

Through their conversation, Son Gohan finally understood why these Yardratians held such goodwill toward Son Goku.

It was because the Ginyu Force had once invaded Yardrat.

However, they were suddenly recalled by Frieza halfway through the invasion.

Since Son Goku had dealt with the Ginyu Force, the people of Yardrat were all very grateful to him.
