Saiya Kakarot

"Since you're awake, come over here!" Iris's gentle voice drifted over like a spring breeze, instantly interrupting Rot's thoughts.

Rot froze for a moment. For some reason, despite being in unfamiliar surroundings, he felt no fear at all. He slowly got up and walked over to the three of them.

Iris smiled, her normally sharp golden eyes now shining with a gentle light that seemed capable of dispelling the unease in people's hearts.

Lilith stared at him without blinking, her face full of curiosity.

Cook sipped his tea leisurely, his gaze resting lightly on him.

"Thank you for saving me!" Rot said sincerely.

"You're welcome! Can you tell me your name and where you're from?" Lilith asked first, her young voice soft and lively.

Thoughts churned in Rot's mind as he considered, Since I've come to this entirely new world and have Saiyan blood...

I might as well call myself Saiya Kakarot. It'll mark the start of a new life.

"My name is Saiya Kakarot, and I'm ten years old. I ran into a really big storm and accidentally fell into the sea.

"After that, I suppose you rescued me," Kakarot said slowly, his expression calm.

"What about your family?" Lilith asked cautiously, her voice soft and gentle, afraid of touching the pain in Kakarot's heart.

"I'm an orphan. I've been alone since I was little." Kakarot lowered his head slightly, a trace of loneliness flashing through his eyes.

He had been an orphan in his previous life, and he had no family after crossing over into the world of One Piece either.

"Then would you like to come live with me?" Lilith asked gently, her eyes full of anticipation and concern.

Kakarot knew he was an outsider. He would certainly need the approval of the member of the Eagle Mink Tribe before him.

Kakarot hesitated and glanced at Iris.

His lips moved, but in the end, he said nothing. A jumble of feelings filled his heart, and he did not know how to respond to this unexpected kindness.

Iris crouched down, looked gently at Kakarot, and said softly, "Child, my name is Iris. I'm from the Eagle Mink Tribe.

"Do you know where you are? This is Zou, the Mink Tribe's Mokomo Dukedom.

"Look, that lively monkey tail behind you means you're one of the Mink Tribe too, a member of the Monkey Mink Tribe.

"So don't be afraid, and don't worry. This is your home. You can stay here without a care."

"That's wonderful! I've finally found my home!" Tears instantly filled Kakarot's eyes, and even his voice trembled as he could not help shouting.

He needed to put his acting skills to work and construct a background for himself. That was the fastest way to earn their trust.

Kakarot choked out:

"I knew I was one of the Mink Tribe. During my days wandering out there, I suffered so much bullying.

"So all I wanted was to find Zou. Later, I spotted a chance and secretly boarded a ship heading out to sea. I can't believe I actually found it."

As Iris listened, her heart ached and her eyes reddened slightly. She thought with sympathy:

Such a young child. Who knows how much hardship he endured and how much he suffered out there before reaching Zou.

She gently stroked Kakarot's head and comforted him. "It's all right now. It's all over.

"From now on, you can live peacefully on Zou. I'll arrange a place for you to stay.

"Of course, if you like, you can stay at Lilith's home-the home of this kind little girl standing beside me."

Looking into Lilith's lively, sapphire-blue eyes, which were filled with anticipation,

Kakarot felt warmth in his heart and said softly, "I'll stay at Lilith's home. If I cause them any trouble, please help me find somewhere else to stay."

"Oh yeah! That's awesome!" Lilith jumped over excitedly and hugged Kakarot tightly, affectionately pressing her cheek against him.

She said cheerfully, "Kakarot, from now on, you're my little brother, and I'm your big sister! Karuchu!"

As she spoke, her tail swished happily back and forth. Kakarot smiled, quietly savoring this unexpected warmth.

"Let's hurry home and tell Mom the good news." Lilith took Kakarot's hand and was about to run off.

Cook hurriedly called out to stop Lilith as she was about to leave. "Wait, Lilith. Kakarot may look fine, but he still has some injuries.

"Here, take this medicine. Make sure he takes it and applies it on time every day. He'll be better in a few days."

Lilith nodded obediently and accepted the medicine with both hands, carefully cradling it in her arms, her eyes full of concern for Kakarot.

"Big Sister Iris, Uncle Cook, we're heading home now!" Lilith called out brightly.

Before her words had faded, she gently took Kakarot's hand and slowly walked toward home.

In the warm morning sunlight, the two little figures gradually blurred before finally disappearing into the drifting mist.

"Big Brother Cook, I'll be leaving too. I need to explain the situation to the captain," Iris said.

Cook nodded lightly in acknowledgment.

Iris turned, spread her wings, and flew into the hazy mist like an agile bird.

"Kakarot? What an interesting little fellow. His body recovers remarkably well. He'll probably be someone extraordinary someday."

Watching the retreating figure, Cook murmured to himself, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly, his eyes full of admiration and expectations for Kakarot's potential.

Phew! My acting is pretty good. That should settle the problem with my identity.

As Kakarot followed Lilith, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he had successfully fit in.

Holding Kakarot's hand, Lilith skipped through the front door and shouted excitedly:

"Mom, the person I saw this morning was Kakarot! I brought him home! From today on, he's my little brother!"

Hearing her, Lilith's mother slowly came out of the kitchen.

Like Lilith, she had white hair. Her upturned eyes were beautiful, their blue gaze gentle and loving. She had fair skin and a tall, slender figure.

Kakarot muttered inwardly, This is Lilith's mother? Why is she so young? No matter how I look at her, she looks like she's in her twenties.

Lina crouched down gently and said warmly, "You can call me Aunt Lina. Don't be shy. Just settle in here with us and make yourself at home. Karuchu!"

Looking at the gentle, friendly woman before him, Kakarot could not help the ripples that stirred in his eyes.

Having always been an orphan in his previous life, what he longed for most deep in his heart was love. Now that it had truly come to him, this sudden warmth made his eyes grow slightly moist.

"Yes! Thank you, Aunt Lina. From now on, you and Lilith are my family!"

Kakarot's gaze was firm, his voice filled with unquestionable certainty.

"Go wash your hands and get ready to eat!" Aunt Lina smiled, her eyes full of joy.

She had not expected a child who had fallen from such a height to be essentially unharmed.

Her eyes curved into a smile as she glanced at Lilith and thought, Perhaps this is fate!

After the meal, Aunt Lina carefully prepared a room for Kakarot and told Lilith not to disturb his rest.

Alone in his room, Kakarot could finally calm down and begin methodically sorting through his tangled thoughts.

Standing before the mirror, Kakarot finally got a clear look at himself.

The boy in the mirror had a head of brilliant golden hair, smooth and lustrous, its slightly curled ends resting playfully against either side of his rounded cheeks like an ornament meticulously crafted by nature.

His golden eyes sparkled like the brightest stars in the night sky, irresistibly drawing people in.

His skin was fair and delicate, tinged with a faint pink, as tender and smooth as a freshly peeled egg.

Such stunning good looks were enough to rival those of the dear readers!

Haha! I'm so handsome! Once I grow up, won't thousands of girls fall head over heels for me? Kakarot could not help indulging in fantasies.

Kakarot was very pleased with his reflection. Then he returned to bed and recalled the abilities his Saiyan blood had brought him.

Exceptional adaptability: Saiyans could quickly adapt and survive in all kinds of harsh environments.

Whether it was extreme heat, cold, high gravity, or other extreme conditions.

Limitless potential: After being injured in battle, as long as a Saiyan survived, their fighting power would increase dramatically as their body recovered. This was called the "warrior race's near-death breakthrough."

This potential allowed them to grow increasingly powerful through constant battle.

Ki manipulation: All Saiyans could sense, control, and use "ki."

They could concentrate ki in different parts of their bodies to enhance their strength, speed, defense, and more. They could also release ki to form powerful attacks, such as the Kamehameha.

High-speed movement: Saiyans could use their immense strength to move at high speeds, darting rapidly about in battle.

This made it difficult for opponents to track their movements, and the ability was often used in battle for surprise attacks or evading attacks.

Great Ape transformation: When the full moon appeared, Saiyans exposed to its light who looked at it would transform into giant apes. This form was also known as the "Great Ape."

During the transformation, Saiyans would first grow thick hair, then their bodies would rapidly expand, reaching over ten meters in height. Their size became enormous, and their strength increased dozens of times over.

In this form, a Saiyan's reason would be dominated by rage and wild instincts, sending them into a frenzied state of attack.

Kakarot was overjoyed. I've come to my favorite anime world, and I have such powerful innate gifts.

Once I'm invincible, I'll definitely have beauties in both arms, with money and beautiful women all at my fingertips!

Lost in daydreams about his future, Kakarot drifted off to sleep.
