We used Goku's flying nimbus to look around for a girl and as fate decreed it we found blonde Launch being followed by some cops we swooped in and took her on the cloud leaving the surprised and befuddled cops behind.
She at first tried to resist but she sneezed and turned blue-haired, she asked us some questions and we answered that as best as we could. We got back to Roshi's island with Launch in tow, Roshi immediately started whistling when he saw Launch but she sneezed and turned blonde and aggressive before sneezing again and turning back to docile.
Roshi sweatdropped but accepted her nonetheless, at least he had a living woman he could look at instead of his dirty magazines and his workout show. Roshi coughed a bit and started to explain how he would train us.
I already knew about all of that, he also informed me and Goku about the Budokai Tenkaichi tournament and how he would like us to enroll in it, in reality, he would enroll too and try to beat us, so we would think there are better people out there than us and make us never stop training and lose our passion.
Roshi took his house in a capsule and took us to a different island, a populated one which was pretty big, his first test for us was like in the anime to find the inscribed rock he threw out, I easily got it and made my way back with it, Goku tried to fight me for it when I found it but I beat him, it was a bit harder than before as he grew stronger but I didn't exert myself too much against him.
Roshi nodded his head towards me and for that day we were done, we ate the food blue-haired Launch prepared for us, and well Goku ate almost everything and we could only eat a little bit, even though we were martial artists that needed a higher calory intake, unlike Goku we were humans and our bodies didn't need such a high intake of food, we ate more than the normal human eyes, but Goku ate more than hundreds of humans combined.
I was flabbergasted at the sight that was in front of me I never thought someone could inhale food at such fast speeds, it looked comically in the anime but now that I had seen it with my own eyes it was pretty horrifying.
Launch just smiled and nodded at Goku she even wanted to give him seconds, saying that she cooked enough, I don't know how could this woman cook such high amounts of food she was almost equal to Chi-Chi in cooking!
After the feast and a night sleep Roshi tested us on our speed telling us about the limits of the human body, Goku neared the limits by a few milliseconds while I broke them easily, Roshi's jaw was on the floor, not even he was that fast, after that he also did an example and he was a bit faster than Goku.
Unlike in the anime after this he imparted to both of us a special breathing technique and a mantra specialized from the turtle school, I could immediately say that it was way way more effective than Orin's temple one, it put it to shame, it was like the difference between the sky and earth, I could feel my ki around my body it ran way smoother than before, like a calm ocean, but it could also transform into a storm of ki at only a thought.
The mantra also increased my mind cultivation speed, but for Goku it just made his ki grow faster, unlike me he didn't unlock his mental strength from a young age and he will unlock it later on Namek, as seen in the anime where he reads Krillin's mind.
After he imparted us his techniques fully he started to tell us in detail how the training from now on would go:
"This is the special turtle school training for the body and mind while we will also make the money to feed us with it."
He started to explain how we will deliver milk, help at construction work, dodge bees he will throw at us and swim in shark-infested waters.
And so we started with the milk delivery first, it was easy peasy for me, my training from before already made my body quite strong and my mind was really firm, Goku was having a harder time than me but not by a lot, he didn't even look winded but he was sapping his energy by quite a bit.
We had to go in zig zag when we found trees we had to walk up a lot of stairs, Roshi was observing me seeing that I wasn't challenged by the training he pondered if I needed to start using weights already.
After we delivered the milk, it was time for construction work, the special thing was we had to use our hands to dig and we could only use some tools, we also did fieldwork for some farmers, the swimming, dodging and the other training were gone almost immediately after.
Goku was left panting and weak on the floor while I was a bit winded by the training but not by much, Roshi nodded his head and pointed towards me while saying:
"Your body is already very strong due to your prior training I guess, so I will need you to wear this."
He produced a big turtle shell which when he dropped on the floor it made a loud clang, it was quite heavy as I put it on my back it was fifty kilograms or so and it impeded me by a bit.
Roshi nodded his head but Goku said he wanted to wear one too, after a lot of insistence from him Roshi gave in and gave him a twenty kilograms shell.
I also used my gravity field around me to increase my gravity by two times, the training was way harder than before with it on and I could feel my ki strengthen and purify itself while my muscles became stronger and my bones hardened, my organs also became stronger.
Almost all of the zenni we made was used on the food we consumed with a very little minority distributed between the three of us as Roshi participated in the milk training as well.
After quite a while of training I asked Master Roshi to teach me his full power technique, he agreed to say that I already was quite strong and I could learn it since I was his student, he also said that he wouldn't have taught me it if I didn't ask about it. He wasn't a responsible teacher when it came to techniques.
Roshi immediately started explaining how the technique worked, he infused his muscles with ki but not a lot as to not reduce his speed by a lot, as the more ki expended into the muscles would put more of a strain on the body and bones reducing speed and increasing consumption. The full power technique was doing what its name mentioned, bring out the full power of the human body.
Its multiplier wasn't much it was a one-point-five increase in power level but it could be stacked with other techniques so it was all good.
It took me a while to master it combined with my daily training, half a year gone by and there were only six more months before the Budokai Tenkaichi would start.
We also talked with Bulma on the phone and she told us that Yamcha would participate as well, good for him I guess?
After six months of training my turtle shell weight increased to eighty kilograms and I used three times earth gravity on myself, Goku' shell increased to fifty-five kilograms, he was getting strong fast due to his Saiyan biology, he also saw me as his rival and he wanted to fight me and beat me, his Saiyan blood told him to.
We also sparred a lot during these six months of painful training, we learned everything that was to learn about each other and we became great friends.
Goku was a fun guy to be around he exuded an aura of friendliness and innocence, even though he wasn't that smart due to his accident and upbringing he wasn't annoying, he was just a bit well slower, Roshi also taught us basic things like math biology, etc. I took them in easily but Goku was quite hard-headed and it took him way more time to learn what he taught us.
But unlike in the anime, he started to learn, in the anime, Goku didn't care about such stuff, but when he saw how easy I picked up everything he started to take these things seriously too.
Did I make Goku smarter by competitiveness? That's how Saiyans get smarter? if they get beaten by someone in fight's they start to try to one-up or catch up that guy in literally everything that guy excelled in?
Maybe that's why Vegeta who had such immense pride as being the best at fighting and a super-elite started to take Goku as such a big rival and never gave him a breather, it was the Saiyan blood in him which clouded his mind especially when Babidi took over.
After the six months I asked Roshi to teach me one of his least known techniques, it was the thundershock surprise, when he asked me where did I know about it, I answered with a lie that I made up, on how I met someone who fought him in the past and that he used his technique on him.
Roshi bought my lie since he fought lots of opponents in the past since he was really old so he might have thought he forgot about such a time he fought someone and he used his thundershock surprise.
I learned the technique easily, I also learned the technique not because it was strong or anything like that, I needed to learn how to transform ki into lightning, after a while of contemplation I realized that I could copy Killuas godspeed from the anime/manga HunterXHunter, If I could incase myself in lighting my thought process and my body speed will be extremely high, maybe it would be like the Kaioken technique where it would even multiply my power level by a bit.
So I started to train with the lightning ki after I mastered the full power technique, the next six months I also upped my shell's weight and the gravity, Goku upped his as well, we trained and fought and repeated these actions continuously.
As Roshi saw how hard we trained in secret he also started to train extremely hard so he could become stronger than us and teach us humility during the tournament.
Six more months gone by and we were almost at the day the tournament would start, Roshi gave us the go-to let the turtle shells fall off.
I also stopped using the gravity field, it was like I was a feather, I checked my ki with my ki sense and I was pretty surprised, my power level increased almost to two hundred and fifty, and Goku's was one hundred and seventy, Roshi's was two hundred and sixty or so maybe more.
My influence on the world made other's grow stronger by seeing how strong I was, in the original, they weren't this strong like at all, at this pace Raditz would get shit on by Master Roshi.
Poor guy, I almost felt sorry for him, whatever who cares about him, Roshi took his house in a capsule after he came out of it wearing a black suit and a red tie and a black fedora he had his cane in his left hand and two briefcases in his right.
He gave us the briefcases Inside where the suit's like his and behind the suits were the original turtle school uniforms, the orange and blue combination with the turtle kanji symbol on the front of the chest and the back.
We both thanked Roshi and we took his plane to the Papaya Island's where the tournament would be hosted.
After we got there we met with Bulma and Yamcha at the registry, we all registered as we made our way inside Master Roshi also registered under the alias of Jackie Chun after we left him alone.
Bulma was waiting outside with Oolong and Puar when Roshi excused himself saying he needed to go to the bathroom.
Now we were all in the preliminaries room waiting for the random draws to see which opponents we would have.
