North Kai's Planet

After that, Sun Wukong and Krillin found a hotel and stayed there.

Bulma went back home.

The next day, the three of them got up early and had breakfast.

After breakfast, Master Roshi gave Sun Wukong some advice, then took Krillin back with him by plane.

At around eight, Sun Wukong arrived at the World Martial Arts Tournament venue and collected the 500,000 prize money he'd won the day before.

Afterward, he went to Bulma's house and gave her the 500,000.

Bulma accepted the money.

"Then, Bulma, if there's nothing else, I'll get going?"

"Okay!"

Sun Wukong immediately called the Flying Nimbus and headed for Korin Tower.

Half a day later, Sun Wukong arrived at Korin Tower.

"Sun Wukong!"

"Long time no see, Master Korin!"

The Cat Hermit nodded.

"Goku, what brings you here this time?"

"Actually, it's nothing much. I just wanted to borrow some Senzu Beans!"

Sun Wukong smiled.

"Senzu Beans?"

"Yeah! I heard Senzu Beans can heal injuries, so I want to use them for training!"

"What happened to the ones I gave you before?"

"I used them all!"

"How many do you want this time?"

"One jar will do!"

"One jar!"

The Cat Hermit nearly bristled with rage.

It had taken him almost a hundred years to gather six jars. Sun Wukong was asking for one right off the bat. How could he possibly give it to him?

"No!"

Sun Wukong had known the Cat Hermit would refuse, so he simply opened the trapdoor in the floor and jumped down.

"Oh no!"

The Cat Hermit hurried after him to stop him.

But Sun Wukong had already grabbed a jar of Senzu Beans and run outside with it.

"Damn it!"

The Cat Hermit roared angrily and quickly climbed back up.

By the time he reached the top, Sun Wukong was already hovering in the air outside the tower.

"I'll be taking the Senzu Beans, Master Korin!"

"You rascal! Don't let me see you again!"

The Cat Hermit gritted his teeth in anger.

"In that case, maybe I'll take the rest of the Senzu Beans too?"

The Cat Hermit's expression changed at once.

"Wait, Goku! I was wrong just now!"

The Cat Hermit forced a smile.

"What were you wrong about?"

"I... I shouldn't have been so stingy and refused to give you the Senzu Beans!"

"That's more like it. See you next time!"

Sun Wukong smiled.

The Cat Hermit nodded with a fake smile.

After saying that, Sun Wukong flew off.

Once Sun Wukong was gone, the Cat Hermit started grumbling again.

"Damn rascal! Don't let me catch sight of you again!"

After saying that, the Cat Hermit suddenly looked thoughtful.

"Strange. He was only gone for half a year, so how did he get so much stronger? He's even too fast for me to catch up with!

"But he's changed a lot since we last met. Is it because he got stronger? Or did he know before that he couldn't beat me, so he hadn't tried to take the Senzu Beans by force?"

Dusk fell.

Sun Wukong returned to Mount Paozu.

It was too late to keep training that day, so he decided to call it a night.

The next morning, after breakfast, Sun Wukong went to train in the Gravity Room.

"I've gotten used to ten times gravity. Next, I'll try eleven times!"

As he spoke, Sun Wukong adjusted the Gravity Room to ten times gravity.

But when he tried to turn it up further, he found that no matter what he did, the Gravity Room stayed at ten times gravity.

"What... What's going on? Could it be that when Bulma made her wish, she didn't specify a hundred-times-gravity room, so Shenron just gave me a ten-times-gravity room?"

"No, Master. Earth's Dragon can only make a Gravity Room with up to ten times gravity right now!"

Just then, the Dragon Ball System's voice suddenly rang out.

"Only ten times?"

"That's right, Master. Earth's Dragon created all the materials in the Gravity Room, but his power was limited, so he couldn't create materials that could withstand a hundred times gravity!"

"I see. It really is a useless dragon!"

"Looks like I'll have to get Bulma to upgrade my Gravity Room to a hundred times gravity!"

As he spoke, Sun Wukong left the Gravity Room.

West City, Bulma's house.

Bulma was drinking coffee and reading a book in the yard.

A figure suddenly landed nearby. It was Sun Wukong.

"Goku!"

"Bulma!"

"Goku, what brings you here?"

Sun Wukong never showed up without a reason.

Sun Wukong smiled.

"Here's the thing, Bulma. The Gravity Room you got from Shenron can only go up to ten times gravity, so I was hoping you could help me increase its gravity!"

"Oh? How high do you want to take it?"

"A... a hundred times, I guess!"

"A hundred times!"

Bulma was startled.

"Goku, do you know what a hundred times gravity means?"

"Of course I do. I've already gotten used to ten times gravity!"

Bulma thought for a moment.

"All right. But don't push yourself too hard when you train. It could harm your body, and you might even die!"

Sun Wukong nodded.

"Bulma, how long do you think it'll take you to upgrade the Gravity Room to a hundred times gravity?"

"I'm not sure. I didn't build it, so even if I want to upgrade it, I'll need some time to study it!"

"Okay!"

"Goku, you don't have to spend every day thinking about training. Why not stay at my house for a few days while I work on upgrading the Gravity Room?"

"Sure!"

And so, Sun Wukong stayed at Bulma's house.

Three days later, Bulma upgraded the Gravity Room to a hundred times gravity.

After thanking Bulma, Sun Wukong left her house.

From then on, Sun Wukong trained in the Gravity Room nonstop.

Four months later, the System's Dragon Balls were usable again.

As Sun Wukong's strength had increased, the System's Dragon Balls had grown stronger as well.

But he could still only make one wish.

After giving it careful thought, Sun Wukong decided to use the System's Dragon Balls to travel to North Kai's Planet and learn the Kaioken from North Kai.

At that moment, Sun Wukong was at Bulma's house, with Bulma.

"You're leaving Earth?"

"Yeah!"

"Do you have a spaceship?"

"I do! Actually, I'm not from your planet. I'm a Saiyan!"

"A Saiyan? Where will you go after you leave Earth?"

"North Kai's Planet. I'll be back in two years!"

"Have you made up your mind?"

"Yeah!"

"All right!"

"Then, if there's nothing else, I'll be going?"

Bulma nodded.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong left Bulma's house.

"System, I want to wish to go to North Kai's Planet!"

"Of course, Master!"

As soon as the words fell, Sun Wukong vanished.

When he reappeared, he was on a very small planet.

This was North Kai's Planet.

Sun Wukong looked around and spotted an apple tree.

A black monkey stood beside it.

The monkey was North Kai's pet, Bubbles.
