Chapter 69: Two Junior Brothers
Riding on the Black Cloud and the Somersault Cloud, Cyrus, Bulma, and the other girls returned to Kame Island.
However, to their surprise, Master Roshi and his companions were nowhere to be found, and even Master Roshi's hut was gone.
After a moment of thought, Cyrus deduced the situation. He suspected that Master Roshi and the others had moved to another location.
Yamcha, who had come to Master Roshi for martial arts training, was showing great promise. With Master Roshi's endorsement, it seemed likely that he'd want to train him in a larger space, away from the cramped Kame Island. Cyrus speculated that they had relocated to the larger island where he and Wukong had previously trained.
As expected, when Cyrus and the girls flew to the larger island, they soon spotted the familiar cottage by the coast.
Though Master Roshi and the others were absent, they found the little fat pig Oolong lounging on a recliner, reading a magazine, while a sea turtle soaked up the sun on the nearby beach.
"Gaigui, we're back!" Cyrus called out.
The turtle, excited to see them, waved its flippers. "It's Goku and Cyrus; welcome back!"
Cyrus landed, gently setting Bulma and Taisi on the ground. "Turtle, where are Master Roshi and the others?"
"Master Roshi has recently accepted two more disciples. They are out training right now but should be back soon."
"Teacher Roshi accepted two more disciples?" Cyrus asked, intrigued.
"Yes," the turtle replied. "One is a boy named Yamcha, who you introduced. The other is a young monk named Krillin."
Upon hearing the turtle's answer, Cyrus chuckled, realising something. "I didn't expect the little bald guy, Krillin, to join as well!"
"Oolong, it looks like you're living pretty well here," Cyrus said with a smirk, turning his attention to the pig nearby.
"It's none of your business," Oolong grumbled.
Despite his initial frustration at being left here, Oolong had grown accustomed to the island lifestyle after a couple of days. He spent his days leisurely, occasionally engaging in discussions with Master Roshi and Son Gohan about girls' panties, oddly finding peace in his new routine.
"Oolong, what are you looking at? Let me see!" Bulma suddenly snatched the magazine from Oolong's hands.
Oolong immediately went on the defensive, his face turning red. "That's my magazine! Give it back! Give it back!"
Bulma, her face flushed after seeing the magazine's contents, scowled at Oolong. "You... you perverted pig!" she exclaimed, before delivering a punch to the back of his head.
The pain was so intense that Oolong nearly burst into tears. He clutched his head and howled.
"Bulma, you evil woman!" Oolong thought, gritting his teeth. "You look so cute, but you're so arrogant and violent! What does it matter to you if I read my magazine?!"
"Damn you, Bulma! Give me back my magazine!" He shouted.
"No, I won't give it back! I just won't!" Bulma retorted, clearly enjoying the moment.
The two continued to bicker loudly while Taisi rubbed her forehead in exasperation. Cyrus, too, found himself at a loss for words, unable to fully grasp the situation.
But just as the chaos unfolded, Cyrus's senses sharpened. He turned his gaze toward the distant coast, where he spotted several figures approaching quickly.
"They were shouting familiar slogans while running, each carrying a thick tortoise shell on their back.
The figure leading the group was Master Roshi, followed by Son Gohan and the Bull Demon King. Behind them were two others: the infamous desert bandit, Yamcha, and the short, bald, and rotund Krillin.
While Master Roshi, Son Gohan, and the Bull Demon King looked as if they were barely exerting any effort, Yamcha and Krillin were lagging behind, tongues out and panting, clearly exhausted as if they had been running for miles.
"Master Roshi, Brother Gohan, Brother Bull Demon King!" Cyrus called out, waving.
"Oh, it's Cyrus and Goku!" Master Roshi called back, recognising them.
"Dad!" cried Chichi, excitedly running forward and leaping into her father's arms, the Bull Demon King.
"Hahaha… Chichi!" Goku laughed heartily as his daughter hugged him.
Master Roshi wiped the sweat from his brow and looked at them curiously. "Didn't you go looking for the other Dragon Balls? Why are you back so soon?"
"All the Dragon Balls have been collected," Cyrus replied with a smile. "We're just back to rest for two days."
Cyrus smiled, clearly amused by the spectacle of Yamcha and Krillin struggling to catch their breath.
"Master Yamcha, come on! Come on!" Cyrus cheered, his voice filled with encouragement.
"Ha ha..." Yamcha managed a weak laugh, looking as though he could barely stand.
"Finally... it's finally over..." Krillin sighed, collapsing to the ground beside Yamcha, both of them completely exhausted.
Master Roshi chuckled and wiped the sweat from his brow, watching the two exhausted disciples. "Yamcha said he ran into you and Musora in the desert, or did you ask him to come to me to learn martial arts?"
"Yes, I think he has good potential," Cyrus explained. "It would be a waste for him to stay a bandit in the desert, so I asked him to come to Master Roshi to learn martial arts."
"Although I can't catch up with you and Goku, it's still impressive," Master Roshi said, stroking his beard. "I was able to persist in my training."
Cyrus and Goku were indeed extraordinary, but Yamcha seemed more like an average person, doing his best to keep up with them.
"Teacher Roshi, is he also your new disciple?" Cyrus asked, nodding toward Krillin, who stood a bit sheepishly beside them.
"His name is Krillin. He claims to be a monk from Shaolin Temple and wants to learn martial arts from me as well."
"Well, I think he has promise, so I accepted him as my disciple."
Master Roshi said this with a somewhat serious expression, but Cyrus couldn't help but smirk inside, knowing how much the old turtle liked to take on new students.
Krillin had always been a sly one, even as a young kid. Cyrus couldn't help but chuckle to himself, recalling the possibility of Krillin bribing Master Roshi with some H magazines, just like in the original Dragon Ball.
"Master Cyrus."
After recovering some of his energy, Yamcha got up and nervously called out to Cyrus. The sight of Cyrus' overwhelming power had left a deep impression on him, and learning that Cyrus had defeated an immensely powerful god and had become Earth's current god only made Yamcha admire him more.
"Don't be so nervous," Cyrus said with a smile, placing a reassuring hand on Yamcha's shoulder. "From now on, we can consider ourselves brothers from the same sect."
Yamcha beamed with excitement. "I'll definitely work hard to practice!"
"Hehe, no matter how hard you try, you can never be as good as our Cyrus," Bulma added, holding Cyrus' arm proudly.
Yamcha, who had been so focused on Cyrus, only then realised two beautiful women were standing beside him. His face turned bright red as panic set in, and he began backing away, accidentally tripping over his own feet and falling to the ground in an embarrassing heap.
"Woman?!!!" Yamcha stammered, utterly flustered.
"Master Yamcha! Master Yamcha!" Poole cried out, rushing to his side.
Bulma, on the other hand, was a little upset. "That guy actually looked frightened when he saw me. What does that mean?!"
"Bulma, don't worry about it," Cyrus said with a smirk. "Yamcha has a phobia of women. He gets nervous when he sees a pretty girl."
"Tsk, so that's how it is," Bulma replied, feeling somewhat relieved but still unable to fully hide her contempt. "He gets so nervous when he sees a pretty girl. What a shameless guy. After all, you're the best, Cyrus."
He chuckled, glad to ease her mind. Just then, Krillin, the short and bald monk, appeared in front of Cyrus, hands folded and a flattering grin on his face.
"Hehe... Master Cyrus, my name is Krillin, and I am also a disciple of Master Roshi. Please take care of me in the future," Krillin said, bowing.
Cyrus looked down at the small monk and smiled, amused by his eager demeanour. "Please take good care of me in the future, Junior Brother Krillin."
