Chapter 258 Aftermath
Beside a tranquil island, the calm water suddenly broke, revealing a bright green head—none other than Piccolo. Piccolo's brow furrowed, his face grave. His left hand gripped the shore tightly, muscles taut, as he struggled to climb. At the same time, his right hand was also busy, desperately pulling at something. With Piccolo's movements, the person he was pulling gradually emerged from the water—it was Goku!
Piccolo gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, and with sheer willpower and strength, managed to pull Goku ashore with great difficulty.
Just then, Gohan and Krillin, who were some distance away, witnessed this scene. Gohan's eyes widened instantly, filled with surprise and excitement, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "It's Dad! It's Dad! That's great!"
Krillin waved his arms excitedly and shouted, "It really is Goku!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the two eagerly took to the air, heading towards Piccolo and Goku. However, Krillin soon felt his strength waning; his ki was running low, and his speed gradually slowed. He couldn't help but complain, "Damn it, I don't have much ki left, I can't fly fast at all!" But even so, the eagerness and joy in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest, and he still flew forward with all his might.
Piccolo gently placed Goku on the shore, straightened up, and looked up at the two people rapidly approaching in the sky.
At that moment, Gohan and Krillin were slowly flying towards the shore. Gohan, his face beaming with excitement, shouted at the top of his lungs, "Uncle Piccolo, Dad! Hahahaha!"
"Goku!" Krillin called out as well.
Son Gohan flew to the shore first, rushed over, and hugged Son Goku tightly. His voice was full of uncontrollable excitement and joy: "Dad, you're alright, that's so good! Hahahaha!" His laughter echoed in the sky above the island, his eyes glistening with tears, and he hugged Son Goku even tighter, as if afraid that this was just a dream.
Krillin flew anxiously to the scene, landed, and rushed to Goku's side. He bent down with concern and asked, "Goku, are you alright?"
At this moment, Sun Wukong looked exhausted, his face was pale, and he was panting heavily. All his strength seemed to have been drained, and even speaking was a luxury. But he still forced himself to hold on, slowly stretched out his hand, gave a thumbs up, and forced a weak but determined smile.
Seeing this, Klin's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly settled down. The worry on his face vanished, replaced by an excited laugh. He said between laughs, "You're alright, buddy! I knew you could do it!" His hearty laughter echoed across the island, dispelling the gloom in everyone's hearts.
Gohan loosened his grip on Goku and eagerly turned to Piccolo, his eyes sparkling as he excitedly exclaimed, "Uncle Piccolo!"
Piccolo smiled slightly, reached out his large hand and placed it on Gohan's head, gently rubbing it.
Son Gohan's head was being rubbed and bounced around, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter. Everyone looked at each other and joined in the hearty laughter, and for a moment, joyful sounds spread freely across the island.
But as he was laughing, Son Gohan seemed to suddenly remember something, his laughter abruptly stopped, and he asked with a hint of anxiety, "Where's Godfather?" As soon as he said this, the lively atmosphere froze instantly, and everyone's laughter stopped abruptly.
Klin frowned and spoke first: "Shang Yun should be alright, right?"
Piccolo pondered for a moment, then said calmly, "Shang Yun's defense and recovery abilities are astonishing, even I, a Namekian, am ashamed of myself. He should be fine."
"But..." Son Gohan asked, his face full of doubt and worry, "Where is Godfather?"
Krillin quickly reassured him, "He was probably blown too far by the aftershocks of the Spirit Bomb. And don't worry, Shang Yun told me that he once wished to Shenron on Earth that he could survive in any environment. So even if he's in the water now, he'll definitely be safe and sound. Don't worry, Gohan."
After hearing this, Son Gohan nodded heavily and hummed in agreement, but the worry in his eyes had not completely disappeared.
Sun Wukong straightened up slightly, his eyes full of affection, and looked at Sun Gohan's face, saying softly, "Gohan, I'm sorry to have made you worry."
Krillin, still shaken by the scene, couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "That was incredible! That Spirit Bomb was bigger than I ever imagined!"
Sun Wukong smiled slightly and explained, "That was formed by gathering the vital energy of all living beings in the universe."
Gohan patted his chest with lingering fear, his voice still carrying a hint of lingering dread: "Just now, I really thought the three of you were going to die at Frieza's hands."
Piccolo crossed his arms, looking smug, and snorted softly, "Hmph, Frieza thinks he can take our lives so easily? How could we possibly die so easily!"
Klin was beaming with excitement, his eyes sparkling with anticipation. He waved his hands and shouted, "Now I can finally go back to Earth with my head held high! I thought I was really going to fail here and never be able to come back!"
Upon hearing Krillin's words, Gohan jumped to his feet, his face full of confusion and his eyes wide, and asked, "What? You thought we couldn't go back? Krillin, you didn't tell me any of this!"
Klin was caught off guard, his face flushing with embarrassment. He quickly scratched his head, forcing a forced laugh, trying to bluff his way out, and mumbled between laughs, "I hope to get married at least once in my life, that's my wish..."
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"
……
On King Kai's planet, King Kai was so excited that he danced around, his laughter echoing across the small planet: "Haha, Goku won! And he used the Spirit Bomb that I taught him to use, that extra-large Spirit Bomb, which completely buried Frieza!" He looked as if he himself had won, his pride practically overflowing.
Upon hearing this, Geese's eyes widened in shock, his face filled with disbelief. He blurted out, "What? Frieza actually failed? How is that possible!" His voice rose several octaves involuntarily, filled with shock and disbelief.
Guldo joined in the commotion, shaking his head vigorously: "This is impossible! Frieza is the Emperor of the Universe!" His eyes were filled with confusion and doubt, as if he couldn't accept this cruel reality.
Licoum stood there dumbfounded, his mouth agape. After a long while, he murmured, "No way... how could this be..." His voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating that he was in turmoil from the sudden news.
Yamcha looked into the distance, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit. He clenched his fist and said, "Now that Goku has defeated the powerful enemy, it's our turn to show our skills and defeat them!" His tone was firm and powerful, as if he could already see the dawn of victory.
Dumpling chimed in excitedly, "Piccolo didn't die, so Kami must be safe and sound too. When we get back to Earth, we can ask Shenron to grant us a wish to revive us and send us back to Earth!" His face was full of anticipation as he thought about returning to familiar Earth.
Tien Shinhan nodded slightly, his expression stern and calm, and said, "That's right, let's continue." As soon as he finished speaking, he nimbly rushed forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with his companions, exuding an aura of fearlessness, ready to meet the challenge ahead.
