Warning Kami

Everyone had left. Wang Shen was the only one still standing atop the mountain.

He pondered where to go next.

His golden hair stood on end, fluttering in the wind as he merged with the natural surroundings.

Under Whis's guidance, Wang Shen had cultivated Super Saiyan Full Power to an exceptionally advanced level.

He had even mastered it more completely than Son Goku in the original story.

Even when he used Full Power as his normal state, the strain on his body was almost negligible.

If Son Goku and Cell had died together in the original story, perhaps Goku could have reached the same level through training.

"If I remember right, there should still be a hidden Cell embryo in the lab."

Wang Shen stroked his chin and suddenly spoke.

After thinking it over for a moment, Wang Shen shook his head.

"Forget it. I'll leave it to Trunks to deal with."

"I've trained for so many years. I deserve to enjoy myself for a change."

Wang Shen rubbed his eight-pack abs, licked his lips without thinking, and said excitedly:

"As a Saiyan, it's about time I sat down to a proper feast and went all out."

He'd spent thirty years as a cook and gardener in the God of Destruction Realm. He'd been nothing but a workhorse.

Wang Shen pushed off the ground and flew into the air, ready to head for West City.

Then he stopped in midair, looked up with a helpless expression, and called out:

"Hey, everyone's gone. That's enough. How much longer are you going to watch?"

As it turned out,

Kami, at the Heavenly Temple far away, had been keeping an eye on the androids.

Even now, his gaze hadn't followed the androids away.

He had kept watching Wang Shen.

"Sorry. With a powerful person like you suddenly appearing on Earth, I have to make sure the planet is safe. It's my duty as Kami."

Realizing he'd been discovered long ago, Kami replied respectfully, his voice cautious.

"Make sure the planet is safe?"

Wang Shen scoffed, annoyed.

"With your few hundred points of battle power?"

"Never mind what just happened. I'm about to go enjoy some private time, and I don't like being watched."

"Understood."

"May I ask what you meant by Cell's embryo?"

"Just another android. You'll find out soon enough."

Wang Shen sounded impatient.

Not everyone deserved a patient answer from him.

"Still, your appearance did remind me of something..."

"What is it? Is there anything I can do to help you... uh."

Kami had been hoping to befriend the powerful newcomer, so he wouldn't drive him into the androids' camp.

But before he could finish,

Wang Shen vanished, just as he always did.

Even Kami could no longer find any trace of him.

"Alas..."

Kami sighed helplessly.

Feeling his own frail body, he thought back to Wang Shen's words.

"Maybe it's time to consider that."

Earth needed a strong protector now, not an old and useless Kami.

Korin Tower, beneath the Heavenly Temple.

No one would have guessed

that after vanishing from Kami's sight, Wang Shen had appeared here.

Unless he wanted them to, no one on Earth could sense his movements.

Even though he was right beneath the Heavenly Temple.

But Wang Shen's sudden appearance gave Korin quite a fright.

After all, Kami wasn't the only one who'd been spying on him.

Korin thought Wang Shen had come to settle the score.

If he managed to anger him, he could easily lose his life.

At that moment,

Korin and Yajirobe stood huddled together in a corner, trembling.

Wang Shen gazed at the two with a Youyou look, the corners of his mouth lifting as he chuckled to himself.

It seemed they'd mistaken him for a villain because he'd helped the androids beat up Vegeta.

Still, that worked out. Villains had an easier time getting things done.

"You're Korin, right?"

"Y-yes, that's me."

By now, Korin had no choice but to step forward. He gripped his staff, his fur standing on end.

"Please, let me explain. I wasn't trying to sneak a peek—ah, I mean, I wasn't trying to watch you."

"I'm afraid you'll have to offer me something to make up for it."

There was hope!

Korin's face brightened.

But before his whiskers could even twitch upward, they drooped again.

"I don't have anything here."

Korin was famous for being flat broke. He couldn't even get a fish to eat for most of the year.

Wang Shen glanced at the jar of Senzu Beans in Yajirobe's arms and reminded him:

"I remember Krillin gave Piccolo one of those green beans when he was injured."

"Oh! Right, they're called Senzu Beans."

"An ordinary person can go ten days without food after eating just one, and they can heal any injury except an illness."

"Fine, I'll take those!"

Wang Shen nodded, satisfied with the deal.

"Of course. Just a moment."

Only after Wang Shen agreed did Korin finally let out the breath he'd been holding.

He turned and went to get the Senzu Beans from the room below.

Hm?

Wang Shen noticed that Yajirobe, in the corner, had realized he wasn't paying attention to him.

He'd started stuffing handful after handful of Senzu Beans into his mouth again to calm his nerves.

Wang Shen couldn't help advising him:

"Fatso, you really shouldn't waste them like that."

A little while later,

Korin came out carrying five jars of Senzu Beans, stacked on top of one another.

"Sir, the Senzu Bean harvest is very small, so this is all I can give you right now."

"There are three thousand Senzu Beans in total."

Three thousand!

Wang Shen's eyes lit up. He could no longer hide his excitement.

Three thousand Senzu Beans!

Later on, Son Goku and Vegeta would have been happy to split one bean in half.

And now, he alone had three thousand Senzu Beans!

He'd actually become a Senzu Bean tycoon!

"No problem. I don't mind. I'm a very generous person."

As if afraid Korin might change his mind, Wang Shen quickly put the five jars into his personal storage space.

It was a personal space he'd asked Whis to help him develop.

"Not bad. You're a good... cat. A fine cat. I'll look after you from now on."

Wang Shen casually patted Korin on the head and promised:

"Don't worry. I won't take your Senzu Beans for nothing. I'll take care of the android crisis on Earth for you."

Korin had been a little unhappy about Wang Shen patting his head, but at those words, his expression changed at once. He replied happily:

"That's wonderful. Thank you so much."

"When you run out of those Senzu Beans, come find me again. I'll give you a few more jars."

Heh.

We'll see if you still have any by then.

Wang Shen grumbled to himself.

West City.

After saying goodbye to Korin, Wang Shen came here.

The most bustling metropolis in Dragon Ball!

The streets were crowded with traffic, and skyscrapers filled the skyline.

All kinds of high-tech inventions, far ahead of their time, could be seen everywhere.

The city was also well developed when it came to entertainment, daily life, and food.

Now, Wang Shen was going to enjoy a gluttonous feast.

Senzu Beans were filling, but that didn't mean he should eat too many.

"After cooking for Beerus and Whis for so many years, I'm finally free. It's time I enjoyed myself for once."

As for the trouble with Cell, Piccolo and Trunks could deal with it.

He only needed to step in if they couldn't handle things.

After all, even if Cell reached Perfect Form, he still wouldn't be Wang Shen's match!
