Binding Son Goku; New Skill; First Use of Namek Dragon Balls

However.

Son Goku still didn't realize he had said the wrong thing, and he asked with a face full of confusion, "Huh? Gohan, did I say something wrong again?"

"But I feel like... I didn't say anything wrong, did I?"

Seeing his innocent expression, the scene fell silent for two seconds.

The next moment, everyone present—except for the three members of the Son family and Vegeta—burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha~"

An hour and a half later.

Tarble successfully arrived at New Namek, hitching a ride with Son Goku.

Of course.

During this hour and a half, Tarble successfully bound Son Goku, and his binding quota was reset to zero once again.

Furthermore, he also acquired a new skill: Dragon Fist Explosion.

Currently, the total number of bound individuals was: 6.

The training effect multiplier was: 7 times.

Once he entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber again, the training speed would increase by another fold.

Back to the matter at hand.

The Namekians were naturally exceptionally welcoming toward Son Goku.

However, they were not nearly as friendly toward Vegeta.

Back when Frieza invaded the old Namek to seize the Dragon Balls, Vegeta had personally slaughtered an entire village of Namekians.

Precisely because of this, Vegeta was well aware of his standing and did not come along.

He merely asked Tarble to help him make a wish to Shenron to grow his tail back.

As for himself, he volunteered to prepare more food.

Tarble naturally did not refuse such a small favor.

"Grand Elder Mulin, thank you very much for lending us the Dragon Balls!" Son Goku looked at the seven basketball-sized Dragon Balls held by the seven Namekians behind Mulin and thanked them sincerely.

The excitement and anticipation on his face were undisguised.

Mulin was the current Grand Elder of the Namekians.

After Namek suffered the Frieza invasion back then, the original Grand Elder had reached the end of his life, and the position of Grand Elder was passed on to Mulin.

"You are too kind, Mr. Goku. You are the great benefactor who saved us Namekians; what does it matter if we lend you the Dragon Balls?"

"If it weren't for Mr. Goku, we wouldn't be living here so peacefully today."

"In the future, if Mr. Goku ever wants to use the Dragon Balls, you are welcome to come at any time."

"However, should we ever be in need of Mr. Goku's help, I hope you will lend us a hand."

The kind-hearted Namekians lived with a clear perspective.

They understood that once a person died, everything was gone.

Not to mention the debt of gratitude they owed Son Goku, even without it, being able to befriend a super-warrior as loyal and righteous as Son Goku by using the Dragon Balls was a very worthwhile deal.

Although the strength of the current combat-type Namekians far exceeded that of Neil back in the day.

Still, in the face of a super-warrior like Son Goku, they were not quite enough.

Not to mention, after Son Goku arrived this time, he helped introduce Tarble's situation.

Upon learning that Tarble's strength actually surpassed that of Son Goku, Mulin was even more willing to bring out the Namekian Dragon Balls.

Previously, they had all sensed an unprecedentedly powerful aura coming from the direction of Earth.

At that time, they had all felt anxious, praying that no more trouble would arise in the universe.

Now, learning that the owner of that super-powerful aura was actually Tarble.

And, since Mulin could not sense any evil aura from Tarble, what reason did he have to hesitate?

After hearing his words, Son Goku accepted without any hesitation: "Hehe, then thank you very much, Grand Elder Mulin~"

"If there is anything I can help with, just let me know!"

He was simple-minded, but he wasn't stupid.

In his eyes, the Dragon Balls were a great thing.

To be able to get a promise that he could borrow the Dragon Balls at any time without paying any price—only a fool would refuse that.

Seeing this, Tarble was secretly speechless.

It was only because the Namekians had no ulterior motives; otherwise, this guy Goku would be sold and still be counting the money for the buyer without knowing it.

Mulin was different; seeing Son Goku agree without hesitation, a smile immediately appeared on his aged face.

"Mr. Goku, what wish would you like to make this time?"

"Should I have the children make the wish for you?"

Hearing this, Son Goku replied without a second thought, "Oh, I'd like Shenron to help me grow my tail back."

"Right, Vegeta's wish is the same as mine."

"As for Tarble, he wants to be a little taller."

"Hey, Tarble, how tall do you want to be?"

Seeing his carefree attitude, Tarble pursed his lips, then smiled slightly at Mulin:

"My wish is to increase my height to 188 centimeters."

"I'll have to trouble Grand Elder Mulin to help us make these wishes."

It must be said that this somewhat peculiar wish drew sideways glances from Mulin and the rest of the Namekians.

After all, this was the first time anyone had ever asked for such an inconsequential wish.

Only after hearing Tarble's words did Mulin snap out of his daze.

"No, no problem."

"Mr. Tarble, your wish is quite unique."

To this, Tarble chuckled and agreed with a smile, "That's right, it is quite unique."

Seeing that he had no special reaction, a flicker of surprise crossed Mulin's eyes, though he said, "Then I shall have someone help you fulfill these three wishes."

Soon.

The dragon Porunga was successfully summoned.

Looking up at the muscular, devilish-looking dragon Porunga in the sky, with its thick, sharp horns, Tarble couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

So big!

Tall and mighty!

It looks like someone you shouldn't mess with... er, never mind, it's probably just like the Earth's Shenron—all bark and no bite, easily destroyed by a single Energy Wave from King Piccolo, who only had a battle power of two or three hundred!

So the "mighty" part is gone, leaving only the "big"!

Hmm!

It really is tall and big!

Just as he was sighing to himself, Mulin, standing at the very front of the crowd, was speaking loudly to Porunga in a flurry of gibberish.

He couldn't understand a single word!

That was the native language of the Namekians.

Two seconds later, he noticed that Son Goku had suddenly grown a brown tail.

At the same time, Son Goku noticed the anomaly and quickly turned his head to look behind him.

Seeing the tail wagging playfully, he immediately exclaimed, "Great!"

"My tail is back!"

As he shouted, he stroked his tail, as if reminiscing.

Seeing this scene, Tarble nodded secretly.

That's more like it!

How could someone named Son Goku not have a tail?

No sooner had he finished his internal assessment than he suddenly realized his field of vision had become much higher.

He turned his head to scan the area, only to realize that his height had increased!

At this moment, he truly stood out from the crowd, looking down on everything.

For a moment, his mood inexplicably brightened.

This perspective is much more comfortable!

Before, I was always looking up at others; I was about to get a stiff neck!

At this moment, Son Goku also noticed the change in Tarble and let out another exclamation.

"Wow!"

"Tarble, you've suddenly become so tall!"

"I'm almost a whole head shorter than you now, haha~"
