Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

Chapter 64 Son Gohan's Gratitude, The Most Important Thing Now

"I'd like to know, what was this child's original name?"

After some discussion, Tarot and Gohan sat down to talk, while Kakarot affectionately leaned on Tarot's shoulder and ruffled Tarot's hair.

Having learned the details of the incident, Talot also learned that Kakarot had indeed fallen off a cliff and hit his head two months after arriving on Earth, which turned him into the obedient and well-behaved child he is now.

Although he didn't recognize him, he was still a child... no! Now he should be Goku.

He would instinctively feel a sense of familiarity emanating from Talot.

There's a saying that blood is thicker than water. Although Talot and he don't have a real blood relationship, no one can guarantee that their fathers or even their ancestors didn't have a blood relationship.

In short, to put it simply, they are both Saiyans and share a close bloodline.

"Kakarot! That was his original name, but since it's already like this, let's call him Son Goku from now on. I think he's doing quite well living here," Tarot replied to Son Gohan's question and offered his thoughts.

Hearing Tarot's words, Gohan was overjoyed.

At his age, he was practically halfway to the grave when God blessed him with a child, bringing a new dimension to his otherwise numb life.

Although the child was a Saiyan and he had found him, in the past six months, Gohan had already treated him like his own grandson.

"Kakarot, does this name have any meaning? Or does it represent something?" Gohan didn't ask Tarot whether what he said was true or false, but instead focused on the name, unable to understand this way of naming.

Talot was also speechless, because the Saiyans named their children after vegetables, using the same words that sounded like the English word for vegetables.

However, this explanation comes from the original author's setting in the previous life, which is not the case in this world.

"You can think of it as us choosing the name casually, and the name doesn't have any special meaning," Talot replied.

Son Gohan nodded without doubting, and then they started talking about strength.

Tarot was very open and honest with Gohan, which allowed Gohan to experience his immense strength.

Earthlings' perspectives and worldviews are limited to the framework of Earth due to their hierarchical nature.

However, Gohan does possess unimaginable wisdom. After sensing Tarot's aura, he was shocked, but he did not lose his composure.

It should be said that martial artists of this era, especially those whose martial arts cultivation has reached a certain level, have a strong ability to learn.

The original work describes Gohan very little. The only thing we know is that Master Roshi considered him to be extremely talented. It's worth noting that Master Roshi felt immense regret over Gohan's death, as a star of martial arts had fallen.

Son Gohan also had a resounding reputation in the martial arts world of Earth in this era.

This can be felt from what Yamcha said when he first appeared in the original work, showing his reverence for Son Gohan.

During this opportunity, Tarot and Gohan exchanged ideas on martial arts, sought guidance on training, and discussed the cultivation and application of ki.

In Tarot's eyes, even though Gohan's fighting power was only around 100 points, he had indeed forged a path in the training of ki, making him a martial arts master.

"Thank you for your guidance. That's all for today. I still need to find the other Dragon Balls. I'll ask you for advice again next time we meet." Tarot said as he stood up to take his leave.

We spent almost two hours at Baozi Mountain, especially since we still had to find the remaining four Dragon Balls.

"Unfortunately, I only know that one of the Dragon Balls is in Master Roshi's hands, so I can't offer you much help," Gohan said.

Tarot was actually a little surprised when he heard Gohan say that before and then learned this news.

However, after careful consideration, I came to the conclusion that Master Roshi's elixir was found at the bottom of the sea a hundred years ago, and it would be strange if Gohan didn't know about it.

It's worth mentioning that after learning the name and true function of the Dragon Balls, Gohan realized that what he and Master Roshi had considered pretty decorations were actually created by Kami and could summon Shenron to make wishes.

They received the four-star Dragon Ball from Gohan, which can be seen as Gohan's way of thanking Tarot for not taking Goku away.

Tarot could tell that Gohan was very happy because he had left behind his grandson, whom he cared deeply about.

But Tarot also told him something, that he should be prepared at any time, because just because he didn't take Sun Wukong with him didn't mean that Gine wouldn't take Sun Wukong with her when she came in the future.

Ji Nei is Sun Wukong's mother, even if Sun Wukong doesn't recognize his mother now because of amnesia.

But they are mother and son, and that's an unchangeable fact.

If that happens, Gohan won't be able to force her; he'll just have to let Gine take her away.

Of course, Talot will handle it.

In short, we'll have to wait until he goes back and tells Gine what will happen, and then we'll know from what Gine does.

"We'll see each other again soon."

As they ascended into the air, Tarot spoke to the still-young Sun Wukong.

At this moment, Sun Wukong felt as if something very important was about to disappear. He opened his arms to Tarot and shouted incoherently.

Seeing this, Son Gohan quickly picked up Son Goku, looked up and watched Tarot leave.

Only after Tarot disappeared did Goku calm down. Gohan, teasing Goku in his arms, couldn't help but exclaim, "Saiyan, our little Goku is actually an alien! Hehehe~!"

A kind laugh echoed throughout the mountain, along with Sun Wukong's joyful laughter.

……

Leaving Baozi Mountain.

Talot turned and headed southeast.

This direction is exactly where Master Kame Island is, as Gohan mentioned.

However, during this process, Tarot received a new Dragon Ball signal, which changed his goal, and he found the fourth Dragon Ball in a village.

This six-star Dragon Ball is, without a doubt, the same Dragon Ball that was picked up by the old lady's grandmother in the Oolong storyline in the original work.

Now that Tarot has found her, who knows how the story will unfold in the future? After all, it was because of the Dragon Balls that Bulma met Goku, and after many adventures, they encountered Oolong...

Talot shook his head sharply and continued onward toward Turtle Island.

Now that the plot has changed, there's no need to dwell on whether it will develop in the same direction as the original story.

In other words, he is alive and well in this world now, and no matter what the future holds, he must first consider his present moment.
