Jin sighed as he observed himself in the mirror, even in the past, at his age he'd be considered scarred, from his entire right side of his face just being an entire scar, to his back having light scarring, he's been getting hurt too much now.
His eye was different as well, more sharpened and looked to be perpetually angry, and that's for a good reason.
Ikari.
He always hated it, not because it was hard to control, not at all, it was very easy in fact. He hated it because it would always annoy him with the desire of destruction; and that constant feeling was just perpetually annoying.
And how he got it, was because he was stuck in a bed with nothing to do, as such he forced his body into a semi transformation into Ikari. As such he can master Ikari quicker, get his body used to it.
So why's he currently in the state?
Because he needed to get powerful, those fruits were useful, however he cannot always rely on some God's fruit, Kaioken, Limit Breaker, or any other type of technique that multiplied his power.
Soon he's gonna hit a brick wall and he won't be able to pass it on these techniques alone.
He needs Super Saiyan!
Moving on.. his arms… Bulma said they were burnt to a crisp an the only thing holding them together was the bone, and that rebuilding them will take time…
Take time his ass! His at arms were officially healed as of today and he got to see his arms! They were scarred with cobwebs of scars and his hands went farring much better, looking at his hands, they were extremely rough, and felt uncomfortable to touch.
His hands were yellow, or rather his palms, Bulma said it's a small case of Jaundice and will go away by drinking water, but Bulma's extra…
That's why he's wearing swimming trunks.
Exiting the bathroom with slight stares at a badly scarred kid he exited and his bare feet touched the sand.
The beach was good, the sun was shining and people were finally healing from the attack of the Saiyans…
Shame he had to hide his tail from everyone from within his trunks, but you can't really do much about it.
"I fail to see why I'm here" Jin spoke as he approached Bulma and Master Roshi.
"Because you need to rest after everything you've done" Bulma crossed her arms under her bust which was held together by a blue top.
"Uh huh, are you sure your not using this as an excuse just to slack off?" Jin asked.
"N-no! All my work is done, my father is just doing some finializations! Besides with the Saiyan Pods we got from both Raditz and Nappa we were able to reverse engineer them pretty well" Bulma spoke proudly.
"…"
"…stop staring at me like I'm lying!" Bulma frowned as she stared at him.
"You look like your enjoying the attention from the men instead" Jin looked around.
"Heh yeah- I! I-I mana, *ahem*, n-not at all" she sweated a bit as she gave herself away.
"I only came because I was promised food" Jin frowned as he looked around upset if the lack of food.
"Here" Bulma handed him some colorful paper.
"The hell's this?" Jin frowned as he took it.
"It's money dearie" a more mature voice came from behind Jin, turning his head he saw none other than Panchy, Bulma's mother. She unlike Bulma was wearing a red one piece swimsuit, with 'O' ear rings and red lip stick.
"Mother, did you follow us?" Bulma asked.
"Yes"
"…I… uh, don't think you're supposed to admit that" Bulma was caught off guard at the casual admition of guilt.
"Oh honey, where ever my grabdchild goes I go!" Panchy squeezed Jin's shoulders from behind him.
"I'm not your grandchild." Jin protested with crossed arms.
"Not by blood! But by my hand I'll for sure make you into a Brief!" Panchy smiled.
"Also, with your stunt of continuously fighting someone more responsible than Bulma needs to look after you" Panchy ruffled Jin's hair
"Are you saying I'm not responsible?" Bulma frowned.
"Yes" her mother's words hurt her a lot more than she was willing to admit.
"Ahem, anyways, go and get yourself some food" Bulma spoke as she went towards an umbrella.
"And I will" Jin spoke as he was gently pushed by Panchy towards the walkway were shops were located.
"C'mon, Jin, you need food no?" Panchy giggled as Jin walked next to her.
"I don't need you to guide me, I can smell food" Jin rolled his eyes.
"Do you want ice cream?" Panchy asked with a smile.
"What's ice cream?" Jin asked.
"Then you'll love it" Panchy giggled as she led the way to a store on the side walk.
"What is ice cream you have yet to explain it" Jin asked as he followed her into the shop, in which sweetness assaulted his nose, it was so sweet that his eyes began to water.
"W-what is that smell?" Jin stuttered.
"Smell? Oh! It's ice cream sweetie" Panchy spoke as she stepped into the line.
"What flavor do you want?" Panchy asked Jin who was still confused.
"Flavor? Does it matter?" Jin asked.
"Of course it does! Why, flavor makes everything" Panchy spoke.
"I fail to see how" Jin spoke as he looked up at the colorful menu above the counter.
"Consider flavors as different sauces on some beef, ketchup, mustard, thousand island" Panchy spoke "each color is a different flavor"
"…give me the white one" Jin spoke starting to slowly get it.
"Which white one?" Panchy asked.
"Wh- what do you mean by that? there's multiple white ones?" Jin spoke with furrowed eyebrows.
"Look at the menu and tell me which one you want" Panchy pointed to the menu.
He knew what she was doing, she wanted him to read! He never felt this embarrassing, this language was easy to speak but difficult to read.
At least for him.
"Damn it… v… vunula?" He tried.
"No, but close, vanilla" damn it! He'll conquer this damnable language soon enough!
With a frown he received his ice cream soon enough and with a huff he indulged in the glorious sweetness that it gave him, sure he could get another with the money Bulma gave him.
However, he wanted some meat!
But he couldn't ignore the sweetness he had as such he silently consumed the ice cream as he and Panchy walked side by side. He looked like an angry kid being pleased by ice cream.
"So, what's next for my little grandchild?"
"I'm not your grandchild, also I want some actual food, not just… this" he spoke as he bit the ice cream.
"Oh? But you liked it didn't you~" Panchy smiled down at the child, which he couldn't argue with.
"Don't criticize me for wanting a full stomach!" Jin frowned as started eating the cone the ice cream came with.
"I'm not~" she smiled innocently.
'Bullshit' Jin wanted to cuss, but societal norms forbid a child to cuss.
Not that its gonna stop him.
"Anyways… what do we got around here?" Jin asked
"There's a ramen shop there" Panchy pointed out.
"We'll go there" Jin immediately went towards where she pointed, he needed real food.
——— ??? ———
Vegeta was pissed, from getting nearly killed from a low class Saiyan child, to being forced to crawl to his pod to retreat from one attack!
His honor and pride was destroyed from this! He cannot allow it!
But he did get a nice Zenkai boost from it, so not all is lost.
Vegeta smirked as he did another push up, Freiza's forces had its faults, however, he didn't overlook the training facilities that were available to him.
They didn't want him to use it, the other soldiers…
Their corpses can't really make complaints now can they?
Looking at his new power level he smirked.
147,800
It was astronomically higher than before, he felt he could go against Frieza! For he has no doubt, become the Super Saiyan!
Not that sad pathetic child on that planet!
Turning off the enhanced gravity he stepped over the goo that used to be his comrade, and with a smirk he looked over to the head of Cui, he was fun for a little bit, but after his Zenkai boost Cui became trivial!
Vegeta felt like laughing he even heard over the reports that Freiza was making his way to Namek, and he wanted nothing more than to put such sorry, pathetic being into the ground.
As such with absolute confidence he walked towards his pod, and even if things do get tough he's Oozaru to get through!
—— The Beach ——
Jin sat in the sand as he ate his ramen, his eyes lazily roamed over the beach to see the happy masses now seemingly celebrating the end of Raditz and the all time hero names Mr. Satan…
Looks like an absolute idiot if you asked him but hey, he cannot really insult others appearances when he's technically disabled by this worlds standards.
Loosing an eye really isn't all that hard to fight with a missing eye, so why was he treated any special?
This world is weird.
Jin frowned as another grown male looked at the child with what he assumed was pity. He wanted nothing more than to wipe that look off that human's face but Panchy said to be good or he won't get jerky.
Whatever that is.
"Hey kid" a voice echoed from behind him that made him disgusted almost immediately, turning around he saw a tanned man with blond hair.
"Say, who was that blond beauty you were with? Your mother?" He spoke with a smirk.
"Go away or I'll break your legs" Jin spoke as he glared up at him only to be laughed at.
"C'mon kid no need to-" he didn't continue as Jin grabbed his leg and tossed him to the water, he'd survive… but here's to misfortune.
Turning back to his Ramen he continued to eat.
"You know, we gotta make you use your words more often" Bulma spoke from behind her shades.
"You're just lying there so I though you were asleep" Jin answered.
"It's called sunbathing!"
"Why'd you want to bathe in the sun? If you want to die so badly-" Jin was cut off.
"Not that! It's to highlight and make my skin darker!" Now why'd that help her in fights?
Oh, she doesn't fight…
How'd that make her better at making things? Weird…
Looking around he pointed at a black woman off in the distance "like her?" He questioned.
"…we got to really teach you about more common things other than fighting" Bulma faceplamed.
"Fighting's the only thing I know" Jin spoke the truth but deep down he felt like that was a lie…
"Uh huh, we'll break you in soon enough" Bulma put her shades back on.
"What's that supposed to mean?
"…"
"What do you mean by that?!"
"…"
"…bitch"
"Excuse you!?"
"Oh, so now you reply?" Jin smirked at her anger.
"Oh you've done it now!" Bulma sold up only for some sand to be thrown into her face.
"Pffthfffh?!?!" She stuck her tounge out in the attempt to get the sand out of her mouth, which Jin chuckled at.
"You!… you brat!" Bulma spoke however when she spoke she heard cracking in her mouth.
"Eerruuggh! It's in my mouth" she made a disgusting face while Jin smikeed victoriously at her very distraught actions.
A ball hit his side making him look at the ball "s… sorry, but can I get that back?" A high pitched voice spoke as tanned feet came into his view looking up was a very curly green haired girl who looked to be his age.
She was surprised at his face, no doubt the widened eyes was a sign of the Surpise she was in, however Jin, had no time to waste for mere shock.
"Here" he swiped his hand lightly as he tossed the ball to her which she barely caught.
"An… thanks" she spoke before she ran back towards two more females her age, one black hair, and another blond hair as they spoke and were surrounded by family.
"…why am I jealous?" Jin spoke to himself before he went back to eating.
"So you can talk to people" Panchy's voice came from behind him as a bag of the 'beef jerky' fell into his lap.
"I can!" Jin smiled triumphantly as he ripped the bag open and stared to eat the jerky and ramen in tandem.
Panchy giggled as she placed a plam to her cheek "why, you were staring for so long~ are you thinking of love at such an age? How to by young…"
Jin learned to simply ignore Panchy's antics more than willing to let her imagination run wild, as long as she doesn't go to far, he really didn't care.
