Chapter 38 - Chapter 38: Changing Future of People

Goku and Bulma soared across the skies in Bulma's flying car, the wind whipping around them as they set off on yet another adventure. Goku had a plan brewing in his mind; if he could retrieve the Dragon Ball from the bird's nest before anything disastrous happened, he could potentially prevent the Red Ribbon Army from causing harm to Ox King's village. But he couldn't exactly tell Bulma that—she wouldn't understand his eagerness to "Change the plot," as he put it in his head.

Bulma, lost in her own excitement, was focused on the horizon and the thrill of the journey. Suddenly, a shadow loomed over them. A massive flying creature appeared out of nowhere, and before they knew it, Bulma had accidentally steered her vehicle straight into the creature's path.

"Look out!" Goku shouted, pulling Bulma toward him just as they careened toward the giant flying beast. Quick-thinking, Goku remembered one of the techniques he'd copied from a tournament participant—the barrier technique. Summoning his ki, he created a shimmering, protective barrier around Bulma and the other person being carried by the monster, who looked dazed and confused.

The barrier surrounded them in a glowing sphere, floating in mid-air as other person slipped from the beast's clutches. Thanks to Goku's quick actions, they gently descended, shielded from the chaotic winds and any debris flying around.

As they steadied themselves, Goku took a good look at the person they had saved. "Hey, I know you! You're Nam from the tournament!"

Nam nodded with a calm smile, adjusting his traditional attire. "Thank you, Goku. My village is still suffering from a severe water shortage, and I was on my way to find a solution."

Bulma raised an eyebrow. "Water problem? Why didn't you just, I don't know, buy water from the city?"

Nam looked embarrassed, shaking his head. "My village is poor, and water is scarce. I wanted to find a lasting solution."

"Don't worry, Nam!" Goku said, grinning. "I'll help you figure this out. And hey, you're light enough to ride on Nimbus, so we can all go together!"

Bulma looked at her wrecked flying car and huffed, though a hint of excitement crept into her voice as Goku summoned the Nimbus Cloud. "Fine, but you're carrying me, Goku! I am not hanging on to some puffy cloud."

With Bulma clinging to his back and Nam sitting calmly beside him on Nimbus, they zoomed toward the source of the water problem. Eventually, they arrived at a narrow river blocked by a makeshift dam, guarded by a group of rough-looking monsters.

Bulma shrieked at the sight. "Ew! They look like they haven't bathed in a decade!"

Goku chuckled, patting her shoulder. "Relax, Bulma. These guys don't look too tough."

Nam, being polite and hopeful, approached the monsters to plead his case. "Kind sirs, please allow the water to flow freely so my village can survive."

The monsters laughed and mocked Nam, dismissing him outright. One monster sneered, "Water's too valuable to just give away. What's in it for us?"

Nam tried to reason with them, but it quickly became clear that diplomacy was not going to work. Goku had finally heard enough and stepped forward, his expression turning serious.

"I'll give you ten seconds to agree," he said, his voice calm but commanding. "If you don't, I'll clear this place out myself. Don't blame me if things get a bit... destructive."

The leader of the monsters squinted, recognizing Goku from the World Martial Arts Tournament. "You're the kid who fought that legendary fighter Gohan!" The monster's demeanor changed, realizing they were dealing with someone far beyond their strength. "We, uh, don't want any trouble…"

Still hesitant, the leader added, "But we... can't really break this dam ourselves. Can you help us?"

Goku grinned, raising a hand as a soft, glowing light appeared in his palm. "Sure thing! Stand back, everyone!"

With a single flick of his wrist, Goku launched a small energy blast, which hit the dam with pinpoint precision. The structure shattered, releasing a rush of water downstream. The monsters fled, thoroughly spooked by Goku's power, while Nam looked on in awe.

Bulma sighed, relieved, and poked Goku's shoulder. "You just saved another village, Mr. Hero."

"Aw, shucks," Goku said, scratching his head with a sheepish smile.

Once the water began flowing freely again, Nam thanked Goku with a deep bow. "Goku, I am forever grateful. My village will survive because of your kindness."

Goku grinned, patting Nam's shoulder. "No problem, Nam! Hey, if you ever want to get stronger, my Grandpa Gohan would be happy to help you train. He's a great teacher."

Nam's eyes widened. "You really think someone like me could be trained by Master Gohan ?"

"Definitely! You've got a good heart, and that's what matters. With some training, you could be way stronger than you think!"

why Goku was talking to Nam suddenly one voice came to Goku mind "what a waste of time spend on bugs"

Goku started to look around and also he used ki to find but after finding no one Goku can only leave this matter for now.

With that, they all climbed onto Nimbus once more, and Goku gave Nam directions to find Grandpa Gohan's home, should he ever wish to take up the offer. As they said their goodbyes, Bulma rolled her eyes playfully.

"Goku, if you keep picking up strays like this, we're gonna need a bigger cloud!"

Goku just laughed as they continued on their journey
