Dragon Ball: What if Son Goku became an evil villain?

Chapter 27 Departure

"I...I just don't want to waste time!" Vegeta couldn't refute, so he had to make an excuse.

"But I think that Sun Wukong must be doing what I said, right? You also said that he was a good boy before his personality changed!"

Master Kame sighed softly: "So, if you want to find the answer, just do as I say, otherwise you will just be wasting your time here."

"So, take a break... take a break..."

Vegeta, who was soaking in the water, suddenly felt that there seemed to be some kind of magic in Master Roshi's voice. His vision began to blur and his consciousness became groggy.

Not long after, Vegeta fell asleep under Master Kame's hypnosis.

……

"Old Sun! You don't plan to go into the Spirit Time Room again? Don't you have a whole day?"

"Being there, even if I don't do anything, it's very hard on my body! I think I should take a good rest."

"Hmph... Even Kakarot can't stand the environment there?"

"Maybe. If I continue, I will only make my body suffer... This is not cultivation."

……

In his dream, Vegeta suddenly saw the scene on the eve of the Cell Games when Goku had just left the Spirit Time Chamber with Gohan.

At that time, he thought that Sun Wukong didn't want to enter the Spiritual Time House again because he couldn't bear the hardship.

But now...

Vegeta suddenly opened his eyes from his dream.

The dream just now finally made him understand one thing!

It turns out that Sun Wukong at that time was not unable to endure hardship, but was practicing the training principles of the Turtle School!

The next day, after a day's rest, Vegeta continued his training.

After finishing their morning training, Vegeta, Master Roshi and his apprentice continued their lunch break as usual.

They tied four hammocks between several trees in the wild.

Krillin and Yamcha had just laid down when they heard Vegeta's snoring beside them.

"Huh? Vegeta, this kid actually fell asleep today?"

"It seems that even Vegeta can't endure the hard training of Master."

Krillin and Yamcha both thought that Vegeta was truly tired.

Only Master Roshi smiled.

This kid seems to have understood the answer to the question.

"Practice well and have a good rest."

Vegeta murmured in his sleep.

He had indeed understood the gap between himself and Sun Wukong in the past.

That is, in cultivation, Sun Wukong never forces himself.

His practice is to keep himself in the best condition at all times and enjoy the practice while doing so.

In contrast, Vegeta's training method in the past was to constantly squeeze the potential of his body.

Between the two, perhaps in the early stages, Vegeta's method of practice is more effective, but when everyone's potential has been almost exhausted, Sun Wukong's practice is more effective.

Because for him, spiritual practice is a kind of life and a kind of enjoyment.

Therefore, Sun Wukong will never get tired or disgusted with his practice, and there is no limit to his practice.

However, after reaching his limit, Vegeta becomes stagnant.

Because he could no longer see the road ahead, he thought he had reached the end.

Unless Sun Wukong points out a new direction for him, Vegeta can take this as his goal and continue his new path of training.

"Damn it, why didn't I realize this simple truth before?"

Having figured everything out, Vegeta became full of energy in his subsequent training.

Practice well.

rest well.

Vegeta finally understood the training purpose of Kame-senryu, and gradually, even the problems that troubled him the most at the beginning seemed to have answers.

What is the significance of this practice?

Why do I often lose in battle even though I have the same strength as Kakarot?

How is Kakarot stronger than Vegeta?

The reason is that the two of them have fundamentally different ways of looking at power.

In the past, Vegeta believed that strength was fighting power and energy.

Therefore, his past practice had only one purpose, which was to improve his combat effectiveness and increase his energy.

Now he understood that combat effectiveness, or energy, did not mean everything.

The so-called combat effectiveness was, from the very beginning, just a way for Frieza's army to judge strength by measuring energy.

Otherwise, with the same difference in combat power, why couldn't he, who had a combat power of 1 when he first arrived on Earth, instantly kill Kakarot, who only had a combat power of 8?

And then, even though I had a combat power of 2, I was able to easily kill Dodoria, whose combat power was only 4 lower than mine?

Even if Kakarot used the Kaio-ken, his performance in actual combat was far worse.

So true power should include more than just energy.

Fighting skills, the ability to use force, as well as combat experience and will, are also factors that constitute strength.

When Vegeta told Master Kame about his realization, the latter asked, "So, Vegeta, can you answer that question now?"

"Why do you often lose in battles even though you have the same strength as Sun Wukong?"

“It’s a difference in skills.”

Vegeta recalled.

"If our strength is 10, then in battle, I'm afraid I can only exert 10 out of 8, but Kakarot can exert 9 or even 10!"

Master Roshi's mouth corners slightly raised and he nodded with satisfaction.

"Vegeta, keep training with this intention in mind. In a month, you will be able to become a master here."

"I understand."

The training of Kame-sen-ryu continues.

Practice, rest, live.

Vegeta today is completely different from the confused person he was when he first arrived.

He devoted himself fully to the training of Kame-sen-ryu and no longer cared about improving his strength in the short term.

In this way, the sun rose and set, and a month passed quickly.

On this day, Master Roshi announced: "Vegeta, your training with me can come to an end today. You have learned everything I can teach you. You already have your own martial arts. I believe that in time, you will be able to defeat that Son Goku!"

"Thank you, old man."

Looking at Master Roshi's smile, Vegeta's nose actually felt a little sour.

This old human being, whom he had looked down upon in the past, had now made Vegeta admire him after their interactions over the past few days.

Even in terms of strength, Master Roshi could not even rank in the top ten among the strong people on Earth.

But his understanding of martial arts is unmatched by anyone.

"Krillin! Yamcha, come here! Say goodbye to Vegeta!"

Krillin and Yamcha were a little surprised to learn that Vegeta was leaving.

Only two months have passed since I first arrived at Turtle Island.

Could it be that in just two months, Vegeta had completed his training?

Compared to them who have been training under Master Roshi for more than a year, isn't this too discouraging?

Yamcha, in particular, couldn't help but feel a sense of competition when looking at Vegeta in front of him.

For some reason, Yamcha had always felt that Vegeta was somewhat hostile towards him since their first meeting.
