章 19: Chapter 19
The hard work of the Earth is self-evident. In the end, it is always the Earth that gets hurt. Upgrading the planet to a new version is necessary.
After the strengthening, the mountains are greener, the water is cleaner, the various resources are more abundant, and even the humans born are more good-looking and stronger.
The three wishes are fulfilled, and the seven petrified dragon balls turn into seven lights and fly to different parts of the world. Some of these dragon balls fly into the desert, some fall into the sea, and some fall into the city. Only after a year will these petrified dragon balls be revitalized, waiting to be collected again and start a new story.
The dragon disappears, and the sky clears up. Then, Gohan asks Bulma to help charge the spaceship.
After a round trip to Namek, the spaceship's driving energy is only at 50%. Gohan wants to go to Yardrat, so he needs to charge urgently.
With Dr. Gero's notes and various materials, Bulma has new inspiration. She confidently says she can charge the spaceship's energy to 100% within a month. Gohan quietly gives her a thumbs up.
In the following period, Gohan flies to the Lookout every day to chat with Dende. The rest of the time is mostly spent training hard with Trunks. Half a month passes like this.
On this day, after Gohan and Trunks finish their daily training, they return to their normal state. After such a long time, their full power state has become nearly perfect, and now they don't have to maintain the Super Saiyan state all the time.
Their current focus is to improve their basic combat power in their normal state. It's always beneficial to work hard to train the normal state and enhance normal combat power. This is the most stable and solid direction.
After training, the two decide to go for a swim. They both soak in the water in their big shorts, enjoying the long-lost tranquility and sense of security.
At this moment, they lean against the edge of the swimming pool, hands on the shore, and lower bodies soaked in the water. Gohan's tail sways in the water, forming different shapes and numbers, which makes Trunks stare in amazement.
"Brother Gohan, how can I make my tail grow? I should have had a tail before, right?" Trunks asks enviously.
Gohan replies, "I heard from your mother that your tail was cut off when you were 6 months old and never grew back. If you want to grow it again, you'll need some external help. Do you really want a tail that much?"
Trunks nods eagerly, "Of course, it's so cool."
Gohan explains, "For Saiyans, the tail is a double-edged sword. It has advantages, but it can also be a weakness. When a Saiyan with a tail sees a full moon, they receive blue light waves emitted by the moon and transform into a Great Ape."
"Huh? Transformed into a Great Ape?" Trunks looks incredulous. This is the first time he has heard such knowledge.
Gohan continues, "Most Saiyans lose their reason after transforming into a Great Ape, leaving only destructive instincts. Although their combat power increases tenfold, they lose their reasoning and become wild beasts. The tail is also the most vulnerable part of a Saiyan. If not trained, a Saiyan becomes weak and loses combat power if their tail is grabbed."
Trunks frowns after listening, realizing the downsides. He just thought Gohan's tail looked cool, not considering the defects. What Gohan doesn't tell Trunks is that he has Vegeta's blood and is a half-Earthling, so there's a higher chance he can stay sane after transforming into a Great Ape. Gohan also knows that a future transformation requires a tail and that the tail is a source of power for Saiyans.
After thinking for a while, Trunks asks, "Brother Gohan, what are the advantages? What are the benefits?"
Gohan gives Trunks an appreciative look and replies, "There are benefits. Training can overcome the tail's weakness. A trained tail can be a powerful means of attack. A Saiyan with a tail can train faster. You have the royal Saiyan blood, so you should be able to stay sane after transforming into a Great Ape. At least, in my memory, Uncle Vegeta was rational after transforming."
Trunks' expression brightens, "The benefits far outweigh the disadvantages. I will train my tail to make up for this shortcoming. Brother Gohan, I want my tail to grow out."
Gohan nods, "Well, wait a year, and after a year, let Shenron help you restore your tail."
Then, Gohan remembers something, his eyes lighting up. "Maybe Dende can make your tail grow sooner."
Since the old Kai could help Son Goku remove his tail, there might be a way to regrow it.
"Let's go find Brother Dende," Trunks jumps out of the water, hurries to put on his clothes, and urges Gohan.
"Brother Gohan, hurry up."
Gohan has no choice but to jump onto the shore, spin his tail like a fan to shake off the water droplets, then change clothes and take Trunks to the Lookout.
After listening to Trunks' request, Dende nods, "I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee success."
"Yeah, thank you, Brother Dende," Trunks says happily.
Dende replies, "It may take some time. You'd better stay here for a few days while I study it."
Trunks immediately agrees, "No problem."
Hearing that Trunks will stay for a few days, Gohan says goodbye and leaves. Before leaving, Trunks asks Gohan to convey the news that he won't be home for a few days. Gohan agrees and jumps down from the Lookout, falling to the earth like a meteorite.
He enjoys the feeling of free fall, which is completely different from flying. The whistling wind in his ears and the weightlessness make his heart race, reminding him of some things from his previous life.
When he is close to the ground, Gohan flies to the desert to find the fortune-teller again. After arriving, he finds the fortune-teller still not at home and wonders where she went. Gohan suspects the fortune-teller might have been killed by No. 17 or No. 18, but believes her supernatural abilities should have provided some life-saving methods.
Curious about her whereabouts, Gohan flies to the East Capital, which is closer to the fortune-teller's palace, to find some answers.
