Just then, King Kai rushed out.
"Oh dear, oh dear! If you two want to fight, please go somewhere else! You absolutely cannot fight here! I'm begging you!"
King Kai was genuinely terrified.
If those two really started fighting on King Kai's Planet, he probably wouldn't even have a shack left to live in.
"Huh..."
"Goku, your body hasn't recovered yet! No fighting!" Chi-Chi strongly objected, glaring furiously.
Hearing Chi-Chi's words, Goku instantly backed down.
"A-alright, fine."
"Then we'll fight once I'm fully recovered."
"Gohan, is that okay with you?" he asked, looking to Gohan for confirmation.
"No problem at all! I want to spar with you too, Dad." Gohan, the cheerful young man, rubbed his hands together excitedly.
"That's wonderful! Once my injuries are healed, we'll have a good, satisfying brawl."
"Sounds great."
Chi-Chi and the Ox-King were left speechless watching the exchange between the father and son.
It was truly infuriating.
What kind of father and son look forward to beating each other up? It just goes to show that Saiyans are completely abnormal—they must be insane.
At that moment, King Kai took out a sword and handed it to Gohan.
He said, "Gohan, this is the treasured sword I promised you a long time ago. I had to beg Grand Kai for ages before he finally gave it to me."
"Oh, thanks." Gohan accepted it with a distinct lack of enthusiasm.
He took the sword, didn't even glance at it, and immediately put it away in a storage capsule.
A gift that comes too late is practically worthless.
Trunks' Brave Sword was far superior in quality to this one.
Not to mention Gohan's Kaioshin Sword.
He'd just keep it as a toy for now; maybe he could use it to cut some fruit later.
Seeing that Gohan seemed unimpressed by his gift, King Kai felt a bitter taste in his mouth and hesitated to speak further. Meanwhile, Goku, unable to restrain his curiosity, asked, "Gohan, can't you turn into a Super Saiyan anymore?"
"Of course I can. Why do you ask, Dad?"
"Because when I watched you fight Janemba, you didn't transform into a Super Saiyan, yet you possessed incredible power. Why is that?"
"Oh, that's because the Elder Kaioshin unlocked my potential. I can unleash great power even without transforming into a Super Saiyan," Gohan explained truthfully.
"Elder Kaioshin? Is he really strong?" Goku asked.
"He's not a person, he's a god—he's essentially King Kai's boss's boss's boss."
"Is that true, King Kai?" Goku turned to the North Kai for confirmation.
King Kai nodded frantically.
He repeatedly confirmed, "Ah, yes, yes, yes! That's my boss's boss's boss! I can't believe Gohan actually knows the Kaioshin now—that's incredible!"
Gohan smiled, "It was just a stroke of luck."
King Kai secretly thought that Gohan truly was extraordinary now.
To be able to know someone like the Kaioshin!
He himself hadn't even met the Kaioshin in person yet.
Hearing King Kai's confirmation, Goku's eyes lit up. "Wow, that's incredible! Does the Kaioshin have any good food where he lives?"
"Uh, not really. When it comes to delicious food, it has to be our Earth. Earth food is the absolute best."
"That's true, I agree. Earth food is delicious. The things here on your planet, King Kai, aren't very tasty."
King Kai's mouth twitched.
What? You're eating and drinking for free, and you still have the nerve to complain?
If the food wasn't good, would I be this round and chubby? Honestly!
Goku continued, "Gohan, next time you go to Earth, could you bring me some delicious food?"
"I can, no problem at all," Gohan readily agreed.
"I want braised pork knuckles, baked bread, that big roast goose sprinkled with sesame seeds, and those chewy, bouncy beef balls that burst when you bite them. Oh, and sushi with seaweed is pretty good too..."
"Dad, you have no idea—there's a roasted whole lamb dish now that's amazing. You can smell the fragrance from ten kilometers away... Tsk, tsk, it's so delicious."
"Really? That sounds a little exaggerated..."
The father and son sat shoulder-to-shoulder, switching the topic to gourmet food, and soon they were drooling all over the floor.
Chi-Chi, the Ox-King, and King Kai could only listen intently, constantly swallowing their own saliva.
Everything they were describing sounded genuinely delicious... They desperately wanted a bite.
A short while later, Gohan—fearing Goku would completely dehydrate from drooling—sent Chi-Chi and the Ox-King to the Other World.
This was because the 10x gravity environment of King Kai's Planet was truly unsuitable for them.
In comparison, although the Other World was a bit gloomy, the gravity was similar to Earth's, and they had many friends there who could look out for each other.
It was an excellent choice.
Upon learning that Chi-Chi and the Ox-King would be staying in the Other World, King Yemma immediately arranged two spacious rooms in Yemma's Palace for them, granting them super VIP treatment.
Once everything was settled, Gohan said goodbye to everyone and prepared to head to Earth.
However, there seemed to be an invisible barrier between the Other World and the mortal realm.
It was extremely difficult for ordinary Ki to penetrate this barrier.
Only power as immense as Janemba's could pierce through this barrier and radiate outward.
Yet, there were no such restrictions between the mortal realm and the Sacred Realm, or between the Sacred Realm and the Other World.
Therefore, Gohan couldn't sense Trunks' Ki while he was in the Other World.
He had to use Instant Transmission to reach King Kai's Planet first, and only from there could he sense Trunks' Ki and transmit back to Earth.
Before he knew it,
King Kai's Planet had become an indispensable transportation hub—a crucial stopover, so to speak.
Whoosh!
Gohan appeared right next to Trunks.
Trunks was sitting cross-legged on a flat patch of grass, meditating, with the Brave Sword resting horizontally across his lap.
He looked exactly like a cool, aloof swordsman—both handsome and imposing.
Trunks, now sixteen years old, had purple hair and a handsome, dashing appearance, looking almost exactly as he did when he first appeared in the original story.
He frowned slightly, sensing Gohan's Ki, and abruptly opened his eyes.
"Brother Gohan, I knew you were back."
Trunks happily jumped up, tossing the Brave Sword into the air above his head.
The Brave Sword seemed to possess a spirit of its own, spinning twice in the air before smoothly sliding into the scabbard on his back.
"That was really cool, Trunks."
Gohan clapped his hands enthusiastically.
When it came to swordplay, Trunks was definitely much better than he was.
The guy was like a natural-born swordsman; he looked incredibly cool whenever he wielded a blade.
"Haha, it's nothing special," Trunks said, scratching his head bashfully.
Gohan walked over, examined Trunks closely, and instantly exclaimed in surprise, "Trunks, you achieved a breakthrough?"
Trunks happily reported his results to Gohan: "Yes, Brother Gohan! I killed a lot of dead souls just now, and then I fought Bojack. I broke through to Super Saiyan 2 during our battle."
Gohan laughed and patted his shoulder. "That's great, Trunks! It looks like this Bojack is our lucky charm. First, he helped me break through to Super Saiyan 2, and after his revival, he helped you break through to Super Saiyan 2.
What else could he be? Excellent! We should really thank him. Did you thank him afterward?"
"I turned him into ash with a Ki blast," Trunks replied.
"That works too. Even though he died, he'll live forever in our hearts. He just switched to a different method of existence."
"Brother Gohan, tell me about the battle in the Other World. I want to hear all about it."
"Sure thing. Let's talk while we fly."
The two soared into the sky and flew in the direction of West City.
Since they weren't in a hurry, flying home slowly and watching the scenery rush past beneath them had a unique charm.
Gohan quickly finished recounting his battle with Janemba.
Trunks hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke up and asked, "Brother Gohan, did you happen to see my father?"
