The Z Warriors Begin Their Training

As soon as Cado spoke, his words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the minds of everyone present.

Everyone was gripped by fear—the news was simply too shocking!

"No way..." Krillin murmured in a daze.

Goku and Piccolo together couldn't even defeat Raditz, and now, two more Saiyans were coming? Not only that, but they were said to be ten times stronger than Raditz?

This had to be some kind of joke!

"Really?" Goku asked, his voice filled with excitement.

Unlike the others, he wasn't scared at all. Instead, he looked eager, as if he couldn't wait to face off against these two powerful Saiyans. All the gloom in his heart vanished, and he was already imagining the battle in his head.

Cado simply nodded, neither confirming nor denying with words.

Seeing Goku's reaction, he could only smile helplessly. As expected of a true martial arts fanatic from the Dragon Ball world.

"Hey, Goku! Now's not the time to be happy! One Saiyan was already a nightmare, and in a year, two of them will arrive on Earth! What are we supposed to do?" Krillin covered his face, looking utterly dejected.

Master Roshi's face grew serious. If what Cado said was true, then Earth was in grave danger.

He quietly glanced at Cado, observing his relaxed expression.

"He doesn't seem concerned at all," Roshi thought. "He must believe these two Saiyans are no threat to him. His calm demeanor shows no trace of fear."

"If he's willing to fight..."

Roshi started considering his options. He could tell Cado's energy was unfathomable. If Cado stepped in, their chances of victory would increase significantly.

Meanwhile, Bulma, who was piloting the aircraft, wasn't overly concerned.

All she could think about was Cado's face. Every now and then, she would steal a glance at him through the rearview mirror.

It wasn't that she didn't care about Earth's crisis—it was just that she felt powerless.

Yet, for some reason, seeing Cado's calm expression filled her with a strange sense of security.

Cado glanced at everyone's varied expressions and sighed internally as he recalled his system's task.

"I'm not even the protagonist, yet I'm stuck doing protagonist-level work. What kind of nonsense is this?"

As he pondered this, he looked up at the sky. He could sense a distant gaze watching him, likely the Guardian of Earth.

The Lookout

Leaning on his staff, Kami had been observing everything.

The arrival of the Saiyans and Cado's sudden appearance forced him to pay close attention to Earth's situation.

Thankfully, Cado had eliminated Raditz in time, bringing him some relief.

As Earth's Guardian, it was his duty to protect the planet.

But he was far too weak now. The enemies appearing were no longer ones he could handle.

Hearing Cado's revelation—that two even stronger Saiyans would arrive in a year—sent a chill down Kami's spine, his face turning grim.

-----🉐-----

Back at Capsule Corp, the group had arrived at Bulma's home.

Cado made himself comfortable, sprawling lazily on a couch as he scanned his surroundings.

"Being rich is amazing... The home of the world's wealthiest person is absolutely massive!"

"You must all be hungry. I'll go prepare some food!" Bulma smiled.

Before leaving, she couldn't help but steal another glance at Cado, who was lounging on the couch, completely at ease.

"Great! I'm starving!" Goku cheered.

Krillin, however, was losing hope. Looking at Cado, then at Goku, who was completely carefree, he could only sigh in despair.

"We're doomed. If what Cado said is true, then we're all doomed in a year!" Krillin groaned, clutching his bald head.

Master Roshi also looked at Cado with hopeful eyes, silently praying that Cado would suddenly say, "I was just joking! Earth is perfectly safe."

Cado ignored their anxious stares.

He understood that the information about Vegeta and Nappa arriving had come from him rather than Raditz, as it had in the original timeline.

That meant, deep down, everyone hoped he was making it all up.

"It's not that bad. We still have a year. And besides, I'll be fighting alongside you." Cado said casually.

Nappa was no threat at all, and Vegeta at this stage was nothing impressive either. There was no need to worry.

He had already accepted the system's mission—he wanted those two to come!

"Cado is right. We still have time. I believe in all of you. With the pressure of this impending crisis, you'll surely achieve significant breakthroughs!" Master Roshi nodded approvingly.

The wrinkles on his forehead finally eased a little.

He didn't actually believe that one year of training would be enough, but Cado's final words reassured him.

At the same time, from the distant Lookout, a relieved sigh could be heard.

"Goku, come to the Lookout when you have time. I will take you somewhere to train," Kami's voice suddenly echoed in Goku's mind.

"Alright! I'll be right there!" Goku responded excitedly.

His enthusiasm was evident—he couldn't wait. Without hesitation, he quickly said goodbye to the others and flew off toward the sky.

He didn't even bother taking his son with him, leaving Gohan in Krillin's care with a simple request to deliver him to Chi-Chi.

Watching Goku disappear, Krillin felt inspired. He, too, needed to start training for the battle ahead.

"Master Roshi, please take care of Gohan. I need to begin my own training!"

Krillin's eyes burned with determination, completely different from his earlier despair.

Master Roshi gently took the still-sleeping Gohan into his arms, smiling in approval at his student's resolve.

Without further words, Krillin leapt into the air and flew off.

"Mr. Cado, I'll be taking my leave as well," Master Roshi said, bowing slightly.

At the same time, he cautiously asked if Cado would join the fight when the time came.

"Don't worry, I'll be there," Cado replied casually.

He didn't dislike Master Roshi. While the old man was a bit of a pervert, he had a strong sense of justice and was even willing to sacrifice himself to protect his friends.

"Thank you, truly!" Roshi said sincerely before departing.

With a press of a button, his personal aircraft activated, flying toward Kame House.

In an instant, the once lively room became silent.

Now, the massive Capsule Corp living room was empty, except for Cado.

With the quiet setting, he soon drifted into sleep.

"Huh? Where did everyone go?" Bulma asked as she returned, looking around in confusion.

When she spotted Cado still resting on the couch, she finally relaxed.

Slowly, she tiptoed closer, gazing at his sleeping face.

A strange feeling began to rise in her heart.

Then, gently, she leaned in...
