"Son Goku?! Is this how you welcome me?!" Glaring at Son Goku on the island, Kashius roared.

Son Goku blinked in surprise. After sizing Kashius up, he asked blankly, "Who are you?"

When Kashius heard that, he was so angry his teeth ground together with a creak, and in his heart he wished he could flay Son Goku on the spot, rip out his tendons, toss him into a pot of oil, and fry him viciously.

However, even though countless "anger veins" had already popped out on his forehead, as the younger brother, Kashius still upheld the fine virtue of respecting the old and caring for the young, and refused to lower himself to the level of this idiot cowlicked elder brother. I'll endure it!

Although that was what Kashius thought, the moment the words reached his mouth, their meaning changed completely.

"It's me! Kashius! You stupid bastard cowlick!"

Son Goku raised his head and carefully sized Kashius up. The wariness in his heart completely relaxed when he saw the tail wrapped around Kashius's waist.

"What? So it was Kashius. At first, I thought you were some crab monster."

Son Goku sat down on the sand with a dumb, cute look and continued, "Hey, little brother, it's been a long time."

"Yeah, it's been a long time."

After slowly landing on the beach and subconsciously answering him, Kashius suddenly realized he had forgotten something. He decisively tossed the giant crab aside and punched Son Goku hard on the head.

"Huh? What the hell! Don't think this matter can just end like that! You fired a Tri-Beam at your own little brother, you bastard! Don't act all calm and composed! You jerk!"

Perhaps out of shame, Son Goku did not dodge Kashius's punch.

"Ah, that hurts! It really hurts! Little brother, I'm sorry, okay? I didn't know, sorry!"

Exaggeratedly clutching the head Kashius had struck, Son Goku looked like a bullied young wife, the word "pitiful" written all over his face.

"Forget it, forget it. Seeing you like this, I don't have the heart to beat you up anymore."

Kashius gave Son Goku a slight disdainful glance, then clapped his hands and brushed the dust from his clothes.

"Hey, hey, Kashius, can I eat this crab? I'm just getting hungry."

Little Wukong glanced at the giant crab behind Kashius, swallowed slightly, then looked back at his "ferocious" little brother and asked cautiously.

"Hm? That? Sure."

Kashius glanced at the giant crab indifferently and answered.

"Oh yeah!" As soon as Little Wukong heard that, he jumped up happily. He pounced excitedly toward the giant crab.

Seeing Little Wukong so happy, Kashius's lips curled into a wicked smile, and with a stern expression, he spoke a few words.

"But you roast the crab, and also, I want half!"

At first, the simple-minded Little Wukong thought it was something serious. But once he heard that this was the condition, he immediately agreed excitedly.

"Son Goku really is simple-minded to an incredible degree. But now that I think about it, being his little brother is actually pretty nice. At the very least, I don't have to cook my own food. I don't have to fight my own fights."

Watching Son Goku happily process the giant crab, looking so innocent and adorably dumb, Kashius could not help sighing inwardly.

"Hey, little brother, you've been doing pretty well these years, right?" Son Goku asked while processing the giant crab.

When Kashius heard that, several images immediately surfaced in his mind.

—When he could not control his strength and broke the oven, a certain blond little girl was blazing with anger, furious beyond words.

—When he ate the cake that a certain blond little girl had made, his face filled with happiness. A certain blond little girl's face was full of smiles, her eyes curved into crescents.

Kashius recalled the time he had lived in Mana's home, those days filled with laughter and smiles, though sometimes also with awkward moments.

"Yeah! I've been doing pretty well, big brother." The corners of Kashius's mouth lifted slightly as he answered in a nostalgic tone.

"I see. That's good."

After hearing Kashius's answer, Son Goku very obviously let out a sigh of relief.

The way Son Goku looked fell into Kashius's eyes, and very obviously stunned him.

"What? What's going on? That kind of expression actually appeared on Son Goku's face? This can't be real, right??? Could it be because of my appearance?"

Kashius thought in great shock.

Actually, Kashius thinking this was right. It was indeed because of him that Son Goku had changed.

In the original work, when Son Goku was little, he had always lived alone. He had not been like he was now, with Kashius accompanying him as they grew up together, ate together, played together, and trained together.

On top of that, while Son Goku lived with Kashius, Kashius had always fully displayed the behavior of a late-stage laziness patient. This had also caused the simple Son Goku to start fulfilling his duty as an elder brother from a young age, taking care of Kashius in every way and keeping this little brother of his in his heart.

He was afraid that after Kashius left, he would not be able to take good care of himself alone.

That was also the reason Son Goku immediately let out a sigh of relief when he heard Kashius answer, with a hint of nostalgia, that he had been doing pretty well.

A while later, on the beach, beside the campfire, a certain black-haired one and a certain cowlicked one were tearing into crab meat, eating with absolute satisfaction.

"Hey, little brother, how did you find this place?" Son Goku asked adorably while eating a crab leg.

"I was by the seaside planning to catch some crabs to eat when I suddenly sensed a powerful 'ki,' so I flew over with the attitude of just taking a look."

"And then you 'treated' me to a Tri-Beam." After tearing off another bite of crab meat, Kashius answered, not forgetting to shoot Son Goku a sidelong look.

"Uh... haha." Sensing Kashius's gaze, Son Goku laughed a little awkwardly.

"Kashius, what's this 'ki' you're talking about? Is it those weird things inside the body?" Hearing Kashius mention ki, Son Goku grew curious and asked.

"Weird things? Don't tell me you've started to sense it yourself?" Hearing Son Goku's question, Kashius was a little surprised. He had not expected Son Goku to have already noticed the existence of ki at this point.

Before this, Kashius had always thought Son Goku would only discover "ki" several years later. It seemed he had no choice but to say, "As expected of Son Goku!"

"Yeah, that's right, it's that weird stuff. I noticed that when I used the Kamehameha, they moved along with it too."

"Mm, big brother, that's ki! With ki, you can become even stronger!"

It seemed his arrival had indeed made little Wukong come into contact with the existence of "ki" ahead of time. But that was fine too. The stronger Son Goku became, the more guaranteed his safety would be in the future.

"So that was ki. I could never figure out what it was before, but now that you've said that, I get it." After hearing Kashius's words, Son Goku looked as if he had suddenly understood.

Immediately afterward, a flash of inspiration seemed to strike little Wukong, and he said, "Hey, hey, Kashius, if I master that ki you talked about, can I fly freely through the sky like you?"

"As expected of Son Goku. That sharp battle instinct! It's terrifyingly strong!"

Secretly shocked in his heart, Kashius truly admired Son Goku's unparalleled keen intuition.

"Yes. That's exactly right.

"If you want to learn, I can teach you, my beloved big bro~ther~!"

Casually tossing away the crab shell, Kashius stood up from the beach.

"Hey, Kashius, compared to that, right now I'm really curious. After five years, just how strong are you now?" By now, Son Goku had also eaten his fill. He stood up and looked at Kashius with a guarded expression.

"Heh, since you want to know that badly, then let's begin, my brother."

As he spoke, Kashius accelerated, instantly arriving in front of Son Goku, then threw a punch.

The speed of the punch produced a hissing sound as it tore through the air. From that alone, one could imagine how powerful Kashius's punch was.

But how could Son Goku, who had been on guard from the start, be afraid? After clenching his fist tight, he met Kashius's fist head-on.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Two figures kept flashing across the small island, and along the way, huge collision sounds rang out.

This was the Sun family's unique post-meal exercise. Fighting! No, it should be called martial arts sparring!
