Chapter 6

"DODONPA!!"

Laser like Ki Blast from Taopaipai hit Son Goku directly.

Son Goku blasted several meters away.

The others cried out Goku's name

'He is badly injured.' Thought Yamcha.

Son Goku battle power actually a little bit higher than Taopaipai, but Son Goku martial arts is not comparable to him.

"Bulma, feed this senzu bean to Goku." Yamcha pass one senzu bean to Bulma.

'Let's play a little.' Yamcha let out his battle intent to Taopaipai.

Taopaipai alerted right away when he sense Yamcha's pressure exposed to him.

"What do you want kid ?" Taopaipai a little bit beware of Yamcha.

"Nah, just want to play a little." Yamcha dashed toward Taopaipai.

The current Yamcha have quite solid Martial Arts after he trained by Korin and Mr. Popo. Even his Ki Manipulation already have a deep foundation because of Kami-sama's teaching.

So when Yamcha wanted to create some Ki Technique in the future with his deep foundation in Ki Manipulation, His Ki technique will have a power output multiple times than his real Battle Power.

It's not logically make sense if someone who didn't have a deep foundation in Ki Manipulation manage to create a Ki technique that can amplify their power several times.

With his solid martial arts skills and deep Ki Manipulation technique. Now, the thing that Yamcha lacking is battle instinct.

Yamcha battle instinct is not like Son Goku who have a monstrous talent in that aspect. This battle instinct also the most difficult to improve and this is the problem that stuck in Yamch's head for quite a long time.

There is only one way to improve battle instinct. It is battle. A fight with someone who have a better fighting strength. You need to fight again and again to improve your battle instinct.

So right now Yamcha suppressed his battle power against Taopaipai. He needs to experience Taopaipai battle prowess who known as the greatest assassin in the world.

Yamcha fight Taopaipai for a few minutes.

Trading blows after blows.

Trying to sharpen his battle instinct using Taopaipai as a whetstone.

When Yamcha felt it is enough, he stop his fight. He want to let Son Goku to be the one who finished Taopaipai off.

"Can you fight now, Goku ?" Yamcha asked Son Goku.

"I'm okay now, leave him to me Yamcha, I will beat him myself!" Shout Goku full of energy.

"Good." Yamcha suddenly appeared so far away from Taopaipai and standing close to Son Goku.

"W-wha... how..." Taopaipai genuinely shocked, Yamcha who is in front of him only in a blink of an eye managed to appeared around dozen meters away from him

"I leave him to you." Yamcha stretch out his fist to Son Goku.

"I will beat him up good." Said Son Goku as he do a fist-bump with Yamcha.

"You bastard kids... I'll definitly kill you two." Taopaipai really felt humiliated by Yamcha and Son Goku, who they think he is. His pride as the strongest assassin in the world is not letting himself treated as plaything.

The second round of Son Goku and Taopaipai fight started again.

Before, Son Goku is in a disadvantage, now they fought equally, and after trading blows for a few minutes more, Son Goku slowly managed to gain an upper hand against Taopaipai.

Son Goku's instinct in battle really is top notch.

With the fight keep escalating, the two then arrived at a time where they let out their trump cards again.

Taopaipai who really agitated because he beaten up by Son Goku leash out Dodonpa first.

"Heh, using the same trick for the second time against me is useless."

Son Goku evaded Dodonpa with an afterimage technique and then he let out a Kamehameha.

"KAMEHAMEHAA!!"

It hit Taopaipai directly and blasted him few dozens meters away.

Son Goku won the fight.

'Son Goku is Son Goku after all.' Yamcha can feel that Taopaipai still alive.

But Yamcha will not let him off. Taopaipai is an assassin after all. The number of peoples he killed are numerous.

Without talk, Yamcha appeared beside the beaten up Taopaipai, kill him off quickly and blast his corpse away without a trace.

Yamcha come back to the group quickly.

Son Goku didn't suspect anything when Yamcha comes back after killing Taopaipai.

Bulma hugged Yamcha's hand and speak to him in a low voice. "Yamcha, did you kill that old man ?"

Bulma isn't a guileless person like Son Goku.

"Yes. You don't like it ?" Asked Yamcha.

Bulma shook her head. "I don't mind it, You are you, you are not Son Goku, I believe you already know what you did and won't do it if you didn't thinking about it beforehand, so I won't mind it even a little."

Yamcha smiled.

But unexpectedly a flash of insight suddenly popped inside Yamcha's head, stunning him.

'Yeah! that's right! Me is me. Son Goku is Son Goku.'

'Why should I tried hard to follow Son Goku who have a high talent with his instinct in battle.'

'Why should I have to battle with my instinct too.'

'Why can't I just calculated my enemies move beforehand and anticipate it rather than response it with my instinct.'

Yamcha unexpectedly didn't realize something simple like that.

It is the truth that sometimes it is someone else who know you better than yourself.

"Thanks Bulma, I love you..." Yamcha is so happy that he hug and kiss Bulma right away.

"Wawaa what are you doing, there are others watching" Bulma blushed red because of him.

Yamcha laughed, sometimes when Bulma is the one taking the initiative she won't feel embarrassed at all, but when Yamcha is the one taking the initiative she will become so shy like a little cat.

"That's right, you two want to know where I train myself before right ?"

"Yes, you never mention about it before." Bulma nodded.

Son Goku also got curious.

"It's there." Yamcha pointed above.

"Huh ?"

Bulma and Son Goku also looked above because of following Yamcha's hand.

"The sky ?" Asked Goku

"Yes, by climbing that tower, you will reach Korin's building where I train two years ago." Told Yamcha.

"this tower huh ?" Son Goku curiously looked at the tower that pierced the sky and the end can't be seen.

"You should go and climb it Goku. Of course you can't use Flying Nimbus." Said Yamcha.

"Okay!" Son Goku nodded.

Son Goku then climbed right away, without waiting even a little bit more.

"As I already climbed the tower before, it is fine if I just directly fly there. So shall we go ahead ?" Yamcha offered Bulma.

"Is it really fine ?" Bulma asked back.

"Yeah, let's go ?" Yamcha hugged Bulma again.

"Bora, Upa, we will go now. See you later." Yamcha waved to Bora and Upa.

"Yeah, see you later." Bora nodded.

"See you again Yamcha nii-san" Upa waved to Yamcha.

Yamcha and Bulma then fly up to Korin's building and quickly arrived after dozen of minutes only and landed at the middle floor.

"Hellooo. Mr. Korin... are you still alive ?" Yamcha called for Korin with a loud voice.

"Yeah, I'm still alive and well, what a rude kid. So, do you need something from me ?" Korin come out from the lower floor.

"Naah, I just want to say hi since I was near." Said Yamcha

"And she is ?" Korin asked about Bulma.

"She is Bulma, my future wife." Yamcha introduce Bulma.

"And this white plump cat here is Mr. Korin." Yamcha also introduce Korin to Bulma.

"Hey, what's with that introduction, you should introduce me better than that." Korin grumped.

"Hahaha, it's fine that way. Oh yeah, there is someone who climbing this tower and as you need to know, he is far better than me regarding talent in martial arts." Yamcha told Korin.

"Someone more talented than you ?" Korin asked in disbelief.

"Yes, so you should give him harder challenge." Yamcha smiled.

"Really ? I will consider that." Korin nodded.

"I think I'm going to visit Mr. Popo and Kami-sama at the Lookout now." Said Yamcha.

"Kami-sama ?" Bulma surprised hearing what Yamcha said.

"Yes, above here there are Kami-sama or you can say the Guardian of Earth and also Mr. Popo, Kami-sama attendant." Told Yamcha to Bulma.

"Kami-sama? I-is it okay to just visit them like that ?" Asked Bulma.

"It is fine I guess, since I trained by them for more than a year." Guess Yamcha.

"Bye Mr. Korin, see you later." Yamcha bring Bulma with him to the Lookout.

At the Lookout.

"Hello Mr. Popo, it's been a while." Yamcha welcomed by Mr. Popo again like the first time he came here.

"Hello Yamcha." Mr. Popo also greet Yamcha.

"Can we meet Kami-sama, I have something to ask from him." Said Yamcha.

Since Yamcha is here, he think it is just in time for asking where Kami-sama spacheship are hidden.

Yamcha then introducing Bulma and asking Kami-sama about his spaceship that brings him to Earth.

Kami-sama told Yamcha where his spaceship and let Mr. Popo bring them there.

With Mr. Popo magic carpet, they teleported instantly to Yunzabit Heights region, the most corner region on earth.

There, Yamcha and Bulma see a spaceship covered by molds.

When they get closer to the Spaceship Mr. Popo said word "Piccolo" and then the spaceship door opened.

Then Mr. Popo drive the Spaceship to Bulma's House at West City in almost a blink of an eye only.

Bulma get so excited seeing an unknown technology that they never seen before.

For a few days, Bulma and his father, Dr. Brief getting so busy analyzing all the unknown component from the spaceship.

After a week, Son Goku come over again to give back Bulma's dragon balls radar.

Yamcha come out from his training room to meet Son Goku.

"Hello Goku, How is the training with Korin ?" asked Yamcha.

"Yeah, I managed to take the water bottle from Korin only after 7 days." Said Son Goku.

'Huh? Why it takes longer than the original story? Does Mr. Korin use his full strength against Goku? Then does that means Son Goku battle power right now is improved to almost 190?' Thought Yamcha.

"And after that I go and destroy the Red Ribbon Army Headquarters. Now I'm far stronger after my training with Korin." Said Son Goku confidently.

"How about we have a little spar then ?" Offer Yamcha.

"Let's go!!" Son Goku agreed right away.

The two then walked back to Yamcha's training room.

Somehow, after Yamcha's "little meddling" by training Son Goku at their first journey back then, Son Goku strength snowballing till he reach the same strength that he supposed have three years later.

In the original story, Son Goku's battle power of 180 should be around the time when he fight with Tien Shinhan for the first time in 22nd Martial Art Tournament but now he gained the same strength three years earlier.

'Well, it is a good thing, I guess ?' Thought Yamcha.

Without much talking, the two then start their spar.

Yamcha like usual suppressing his power to around the same as his opponent. Yamcha adjust his strength by matching the Ki aura from Son Goku.

But the reason why Yamcha asking for a spar is because he wanted to try his new battle strategy.

He tried his best to calculated all the possible attacks that Goku would do, Yamcha started to analyze all Son Goku battle habits.

As Yamcha just starting to try this new strategy, he still can't fight properly and this new strategy quite a taxing to his mental power.

Yamcha's brain forced to work in full speed, it is a good thing that he trained in Multi-Form technique for the past years as it made his mental power stronger.

After fighting with Son Goku for a few dozens of minutes, Yamcha start to managed properly calculating Son Goku moves.

Now Yamcha little by little dominating this spar as he can anticipated all Son Goku's attack and counter it with a perfect timing.

Yamcha can predict Son Goku moves this soon only because Yamcha already familiar with Son Goku, so all Son Goku's habit in fighting is easily read by Yamcha.

Son Goku is not the one who surrender without a fight, he keep fighting against Yamcha even though none of his attack hit.

But as Son Goku is a Saiyan who known as the fighting race plus his high talent in martial arts and after he trained under Korin Son Goku's martial arts become finer.

Son Goku who is desperate trying to find a way to connect his attacks able to improved again and again even as he still fighting Yamcha.

It's making Yamcha keep calculating Son Goku moves again and again.

It's a perfect synergy.

Yamcha getting better and better in calculating Son Goku moves.

As for Son Goku, he keep improving and improving with his martial arts skill as he fight Yamcha.

Only after almost two hours did they stop their spar. That is because Son Goku is out of gas. Even though it is just a spar, Son Goku is giving his all in attacking Yamcha, he leash out all his attacks without holding back.

The only thing Son Goku holding back is the Kamehameha. He still know this is just a spar, so he didn't let out a deadly move.

To be honest, Yamcha quite happy with this result. This new battle strategy is really dominating. But he still didn't know if this strategy can be applied against stronger enemy.

This new battle strategy is really complex.

Yamcha tried to calculated every possible attacks that can be delivered by enemy, a punch ? Kick ? Headbutt ? Grabbing ? Feint ?

Where he moves next, left ? Right ? Up ? Down ? Forward ? Backward ?

Yamcha anticipating all of it. If the enemy do this, Yamcha would do this, if the enemy do that, Yamcha would do that.

It's only possible because Yamcha already train Multi-Form technique. In Multi-Form technique Yamcha split his consciousness to four in order to control all his body.

His generated body is not like an autonomous robot that moving on their own, all his bodies are controlled by one consciousness.

So Yamcha's brain already capable of processing so many things at once.

'I can't find someone stronger than me in this planet anymore to have a spar, unless I go to other planets. But I can't just recklessly go, without enough strength I'm just gonna get myself killed. The outer space isn't a picnic place.' Yamcha decided to hold his desire to go to other planet.

Yamcha planned to go to outer space only after he have a Battle Power around 100.000. He didn't wan't to do a half-assed preparation.

Right now, when Yamcha split up to four, he can withstand 5 times gravity already.

Yamcha estimated his each clone's strength that can adapt with 5 times gravity is around 500 to 600 battle power. So his full Battle Power right now is around 2.000 to 2.400.

With his strength right now, not to say Demon King Piccolo, even Raditz would be beaten to a pulp by him right now if they fought.

To reach Battle Power to around 100.000, he need four of his clones to get used to 30 or 40 times gravity first. Only then will he consider to go to the outer space.

Son Goku who adapted in 100 times gravity had Battle Power around 80.000. So when Yamcha can adapt to 30 or 40 times gravity, his Battle Power would be around 25.000. So with four clones, his Battle Power would be 100.000. It would be better if he could increase his Multi-Form clones to 5.

Yamcha snapped out of his thoughts.

"That's right Goku, did you collect all the dragon balls already ?" Asked Yamcha.

"No, I only have six dragon balls with me, but I already found my Grandpa's Four-star dragon ball. So I didn't need to search the dragon balls anymore." Said Son Goku.

"Is that so... " Yamcha didn't have any urgent wish for now so he is not sure should they collect the last dragon ball or not.

"But let's just collect all of it. So if we have any urgent wish, we can just take it out and have the wish." Yamcha decided to just collect the dragon ball.

"Okay. But I have give the dragon balls radar to Bulma already." Said Son Goku.

"Then let's get the radar from Bulma first." Said Yamcha.

Yamcha and Son Goku walked out from the training room and go to where Bulma is.

Bulma is still in the workshop busy dismantling and analyzing the Namekian spaceship.

They got the radar but when they turned it on, there are no signal of the last dragon ball. They have six dragon balls and the radar still showed the six dragon balls on them.

Son Goku asked Bulma if the radar is broke.

Yamcha finally remember what is happening, it is because of Pilaf and gang. They managed to hide the dragon ball so it won't get detected by radar.

In the original story, they asked help from the Fortuneteller Baba, Master Roshi's sister. There Son Goku also met his grandpa, so Yamcha think it is a good thing to just go to the Fortuneteller Baba's Palace first.

Yamcha, Son Goku and Puar then go to Master Roshi's Kame House.

As for Bulma. She didn't want to go along with them. She still want to analyze Namekian Spaceship.

At Kame House, Yamcha met Master Roshi and Krillin.

"Huh ? Where is Launch ?" Asked Yamcha.

"Launch ? Who is that ?" Krillin asked back.

"Eh ?" Yamcha confused.

"What's wrong ?" Asked Krillin.

"Umm... no, nothing." Said Yamcha.

What happened ? Why Launch isn't here ? Does Son Goku didn't bring Launch here when he want to train under Master Roshi ? Or does Master Roshi didn't ask Son Goku to bring a girl back and just accept him ?

Looks like somehow Yamcha changed the story. Yamcha keep this matter in his mind for now.

After talking with Master Roshi, he suggested to go to The Fortuneteller Baba Palace to ask where is the last dragon ball.

Didn't want to waste too much time, Son Goku go with Krillin on Flying Nimbus but Krilling can't sit on Flying nimbus so he clinging to Son Goku instead. As for Yamcha, he fly while carrying Master Roshi and Puar.

The group quickly arrived at Fortuneteller Baba Palace.

There as they didn't have ten million zeni to pay, they need to fight against five of Fortuneteller Baba's peoples.

The fight went on smooth for Yamcha and group. Only Krillin who lose by ring out. After Krillin lose Son Goku take the stage and fight.

With Son Goku strength, he managed to win against the five peoples alone.

And of course the last fighter Son Goku fought is his Grandpa.

Son Goku really happy when he see his grandpa, so happy that he cried. They have a good talk for quite a while.

They won and then Fortuneteller Baba give the information for the last dragon ball.

It is at Pilaf's castle. In canon Pilaf and gang supposed to go to them trying to steal the dragon ball again, but now is different. They can't get any information regarding Yamcha's weakness. So they didn't dare to steal the dragon ball when they see Yamcha is also there.

If only Yamcha didn't together with Son Goku, they may tried to steal the dragon balls already.

Knowing the location, Yamcha and group went back to Kame House. They didn't planned to summon Shenron so after Son Goku got the Four-star dragon ball, the rest of dragon balls is given to Yamcha.

So the one who go to Pilaf's castle to get the dragon ball is of course Yamcha.

Yamcha and Puar quickly arrived at Pilaf Castle. Just right when Yamcha went inside the castle, Pilaf and gang become panicked and tried to run away directly.

It is a good thing that Yamcha Ki Sense now is far stronger than before. Yamcha can sense that Pilaf and gang are running away already.

Using his full speed, Yamcha managed to stop them just right before they fly away with their airplane.

For the second time, Yamcha knocked the three of them out and take the dragon ball.

With six dragon balls in his hand, Yamcha can keep it safe so no one can summon Shenron.

Now as he doesn't have anything to do, he was curious about Launch who didn't appear in this timeline. So Yamcha wanted to try to look for her.

Using Multi-Form technique, Four Yamchas then split up trying to search for Launch.
