An uninhabited island three thousand kilometers south of South City.
It had white sand beaches even finer than those on Papaya Island, and the seawater shimmered with a translucent Tiffany blue.
A gentle sea breeze rustled the coconut leaves, and several seagulls circled lazily overhead.
"Swoosh!"
Without any warning, the air seemed to tear for a moment, and two figures appeared out of thin air on the beach.
Bulma clung tightly to Krillin's neck with both hands, her eyes squeezed shut and her eyelashes trembling slightly.
The momentary feeling of weightlessness had been too strange, as if her body had been broken down into atoms, stuffed into an envelope, and then reassembled somewhere else.
"We're here."
Krillin's voice sounded above her head, calm as always.
Bulma cautiously opened one eye.
Instead of the noisy World Martial Arts Tournament arena, she saw nothing but the endless ocean.
"Wh... where is this?" She loosened her grip and stepped onto the soft sand, her face full of disbelief.
"We were just on Papaya Island a second ago. How did we... Is this another one of your new moves?"
Instant Transmission.
Krillin didn't bother hiding it. He casually removed his torn shirt from the battle, revealing a lean, muscular physique.
Stretching under the sunlight, his joints cracked like firecrackers.
"Distance doesn't exist for places I want to go."
He walked to the shoreline and splashed some seawater onto his face. The cool sensation finally relaxed his long-tensed nerves.
Krillin opened his System panel.
[Host: Krillin]
[Strength: 250 (MAX — Earth Saga Limit)]
[Speed: 250 (MAX — Earth Saga Limit)]
[Physique: 250 (MAX — Earth Saga Limit)]
[Spirit: 250 (MAX — Earth Saga Limit)]
[Skill: Instant Transmission (Entry Level → Proficiency increasing)]
The mental energy consumed by the teleportation was almost negligible.
With his current Spirit stat, he could circle the entire Earth hundreds of times with Bulma without feeling tired.
"This skill is basically a cheat!" Krillin couldn't help marveling.
With Instant Transmission, escaping danger, arriving instantly for support, or even... dating, became ridiculously convenient.
Bulma stared at Krillin's back with complicated emotions.
This man had already shocked her too many times.
From his sudden growth in strength, to that terrifying power during the tournament, and now the ability to jump across space itself.
He was like an endless treasure chest, each layer revealing something capable of overturning her worldview.
But her scientific curiosity was quickly defeated by her girlish excitement.
"Wait! Did you say this is a honeymoon trip?" Bulma looked around at the deserted island, hands on her hips.
"The scenery is nice, but there's not even a hotel! Are we supposed to sleep on the beach? And I didn't even bring extra clothes!"
"That's where your Dragon Radar comes in," Krillin smiled and pointed to the pouch at her waist.
"The Dragon Radar? You want to gather the Dragon Balls and wish for a villa?"
Bulma pulled out the radar and pressed a button. Seven glowing dots instantly appeared across the world map on the screen.
"No, that would be too wasteful," Krillin wagged his finger.
"Think about it. Dragon Balls are usually hidden in the most remote corners of the world. Deep oceans, snowy mountains, ancient ruins.
Searching for them is basically the best world tour possible."
He walked over and gently tapped the tip of Bulma's nose.
"Plus, I have Instant Transmission. We don't need slow airplanes or long journeys. One second we could be watching the aurora at the poles.
The next second we could be in West City buying your favorite cake. And the next second we could be in a prehistoric jungle catching a dinosaur to roast...
just like I promised Goku."
Bulma froze.
This combination of Dragon Radar + Instant Transmission completely turned a dangerous adventure into a luxury vacation.
"And," Krillin added softly.
"For the next few days, it'll be just the two of us. No food-obsessed Goku, no perverted Master Roshi. Just you and me."
Bulma's face instantly turned red again.
This guy was way too smooth.
Using world-destroying power for romantic travel?
"Hmph. You sure know how to talk."
Bulma put away the radar, though she couldn't hide the smile forming at the corner of her lips.
"But the first stop must be West City. I need to get some capsules, take a shower, and change into... hehe, a swimsuit that'll give you a nosebleed."
"Yes, my lady wife." Krillin saluted dramatically.
"Who's your wife?!"
"Then... my Queen?"
"That's more like it!"
Krillin laughed and lifted Bulma into his arms again.
This time Bulma didn't resist. She leaned comfortably against his chest, tracing circles on his pectoral muscles with her finger.
"Next stop: Capsule Corporation in West City."
With a single thought from Krillin, the two figures vanished into the sea breeze once again.
Meanwhile, thousands of kilometers away on Papaya Island.
"Achoo!"
Goku suddenly sneezed loudly while devouring food, nearly throwing the roasted pig leg in his hand across the table.
"What's wrong, Goku? Did you catch a cold?" Chi-Chi sat beside him, wiping his mouth while looking at him with affectionate concern.
"Did you get chilled during the fight? I told you not to wear clothes that leave your arms exposed. After we get married, I'll make you a thicker outfit..."
"No," Goku rubbed his nose, looking puzzled.
"I just feel like something fun is happening without me. And... when is Krillin going to fulfill his promise about the roasted dinosaur?"
Nearby, Master Roshi stared blankly at a long bill in his hand, frozen like a statue.
"Three... three million Zeni?!"
"That's only the deposit, old gentleman," the restaurant owner said with a polite smile.
"The champion told us to bring out the best food to celebrate. And as for Mr. Goku's appetite... well, you've seen it yourself. Three of our cows are already in his stomach."
"KRILLIIIIN!!!" Master Roshi's scream echoed across the island.
Meanwhile, far away in West City.
Krillin lay comfortably in a massive luxury bathtub inside Bulma's home, large enough to fit fifty people.
The automatic massage system hummed gently as steam filled the room.
[Host detected leaving combat state. Entering rest period.]
[Main story arc: World Martial Arts Tournament — Completed.]
[Next arc: Saiyan Invasion — Begins in five years. During this period, the System will enter semi-hibernation mode.]
[Host is advised to enjoy life or develop new techniques based on existing abilities. A true powerhouse cannot rely solely on the System.]
Krillin looked at the floating blue screen and relaxed with a long sigh, squeezing a rubber duck floating nearby.
"Five years, huh?"
For a Saiyan, five years might feel like a short nap.
But for someone with Genius Intellect and the Saitama template, five years was more than enough to accomplish many things.
For example, mastering Instant Transmission to the point of crossing dimensions.
Or creating a true finishing technique by combining the Serious Series with Ki manipulation.
Just then, the bathroom door slowly opened.
Through the swirling steam, Bulma walked in wearing a translucent silk bathrobe and holding two glasses of red wine.
Her cheeks were flushed with a seductive blush.
"Hey, Krillin... you said we're going to travel the world searching for Dragon Balls. So shouldn't you train your stamina first?"
Krillin looked at the scene before him and suddenly felt his nose getting warm.
It seemed the next five years of training would be extremely fulfilling.
"You're right," Krillin took the wine glass, his expression becoming as serious as when he fought Goku.
"This is an S-rank mission. I'll have to give it everything I've got."
