John Doe was furious with himself as he reflected on his encounter with Frieza. He had been afraid, but what was he afraid of?
"Boom!" A massive aura erupted from John Doe, and the powerful force pushed away the stones around him.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" John Doe, not using his ki, punched the ground with his hands, feeling the pain in his body to suppress the fear in his heart. This pain was followed by a surge of anger.
Unbeknownst to John Doe, his hair and eyebrows were constantly changing between black and gold, indicating that he was close to transforming into a Super Saiyan.
At that moment, John Doe slapped himself in the face.
He then sat silently, as if the outburst had released his inner anger, but a more powerful volcano was brewing within him, ready to erupt at any moment.
John Doe placed his hand on his heart, which was beating rapidly. This experience had finally made him realize his inner weakness. He believed that the next time he encountered Frieza, it would be a life-or-death battle.
After coming to this realization, John Doe searched for Goku's ki and used Instant Transmission to return to Earth.
John Doe's sudden appearance startled Goku, who exclaimed, "John Doe, your sudden appearance really scared me!"
However, when Goku looked at John Doe again, he realized that he couldn't gauge John Doe's strength anymore. He asked, "John Doe, I heard you went to train in space. It seems like your strength has greatly increased."
"Let's spar," Goku suggested, eager to test John Doe's skills.
At this point, John Doe had come to terms with his inner self. If there was any hint of exploitation in his previous relationship with Goku, he now genuinely considered the people in the Dragon Ball world as his friends and closest companions.
John Doe smiled at Goku and agreed, "Sure!"
Goku was taken aback by John Doe's smile, as he could sense that something had changed within him.
Goku felt a closer connection with John Doe, but he didn't dwell on it. Instead, he smiled and said, "I'll go first."
The two engaged in a fierce battle, which eventually ended with Goku's defeat. Both of them were bruised and battered, especially Goku, whose face and eyes were swollen.
However, these injuries were nothing to them, and they didn't even need to eat a Senzu Bean. With their Saiyan bodies, they would recover within a day or two.
The two lay on the grass, and Goku asked John Doe about his experiences in space.
John Doe told Goku about his time on Planet Gante, participating in boxing matches, and his encounter with Frieza.
When Goku heard that Frieza could transform multiple times and that his final form had a power level of millions or even billions, he was shocked.
However, Goku wasn't afraid. Instead, he felt excited, knowing that there were many powerful opponents in the universe. He was eager to train harder, improve his strength, and find an opportunity to fight Frieza.
John Doe smiled at Goku's enthusiasm and thought to himself, "This is Son Goku. When faced with strong opponents, he feels excited and thrilled, not afraid."
"I may have obtained the body of a Saiyan, but I haven't acquired their fearlessness in battle."
"I need to continue striving to become stronger, both physically and mentally!"
At that moment, a small figure ran towards them, shouting, "Dad, Dad, Mom wants you to come home for dinner!"
John Doe turned to look at the little figure, who was wearing a traditional Chinese jacket with the character "Son" on it and a hat with the Four-Star Dragon Ball. He also had a tail.
Goku introduced him to John Doe, "This is my son, Son Gohan." Then, Goku called out to Gohan, "Gohan, say hello to Uncle."
Gohan, well-mannered under Chi-Chi's guidance, politely bowed to John Doe and greeted him, "Hello, Uncle!"
Gohan seemed shy and quickly ran behind Goku, curiously observing the unfamiliar uncle.
Gohan's words were warm and cute, and John Doe's inner anger dissipated, replaced by a sense of calm.
John Doe smiled and replied, "Hello, Gohan!" Then, he reached into his pocket and found a few Senzu Beans and a bank card with over 100 million galactic coins.
However, the galactic coins were useless on Earth, so John Doe turned to Goku and said, "Wait for me for a moment. I'll go home and get some gifts for Gohan."
John Doe used Instant Transmission to return to West City, where Bulma was conducting an experiment in her home. John Doe's sudden appearance startled Bulma, who exclaimed, "What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly appear in my house?"
John Doe asked Bulma, "Bulma, what happened to the money I asked you to manage? How much is there now?"
Bulma was taken aback, then replied, "It's about 200 million Sony now. Do you need money?"
John Doe said, "Yes, I want to use it as a gift for Gohan."
"A gift for Gohan?" Bulma was confused, not understanding what John Doe meant.
John Doe asked, "Don't you know that Goku has a child named Son Gohan?"
"What?!" Bulma was shocked by John Doe's news and jumped up from her chair, almost falling over. Fortunately, John Doe caught her in time.
Bulma exclaimed, "Quick, take me to see him. I want to see what Goku's child looks like."
After saying this, Bulma realized the purpose of John Doe's visit and decided to prepare a gift for Gohan as well. She didn't want to waste time, so she waved her hand and said, "Let's do this. You prepare 200 million Sony, and I'll prepare 300 million Sony. Together, we'll give Gohan a gift worth 500 million Sony."
Bulma arranged for the money transfer and had someone create a new bank card. Then, she said to John Doe, "Quick, take me there!"
