Dragon Ball A new Beginning

Chapter 9: Not Worthy, have a ball instead



Goku flew into the sky while carrying the turtle on his back.

"There it is. That pink house." The Turtle said.

He would point to the location if he could but Turtle doesn't have fingers.

"Oh. That place." Goku said.

He then increased his speed and landed on the island where that house was located.

Upon his landing, it created a massive gust that moved the leaves on the tree that was on the island and even closed the window of the house.

"We are here," Goku said as he put down the turtle.

"Oh. It's the Turtle." a bald old man who was wearing sunglasses and lying under a large umbrella said as he saw Goku and the Turtle.

"It's been a while since I last saw you. Where were you all this time?" He said.

He was Master Roshi. The martial artist who is responsible for training Son Gohan.

"And who might you be?" Master Roshi said.

"My name is Son Goku." Goku introduced himself.

"Son Goku. I think I have heard that name before?" Master Roshi replied.

"!" Goku noticed that he was wearing a dragon ball as a necklace on his neck.

"You see I was lost at sea and unable to get back. And this kid helped me to get back here." The Turtle explained.

"Oh." Master Roshi seemed to understand what was happening now.

"Remember our deal," Goku said to the Turtle without making a sound while only using his mouth movements.

"So why don't you give him a reward." The Turtle suggested.

"I see. Why not? I will let him be blessed by external life." He said.

"Come to me Immortal Phoenix." He said as he called out to the sea.

They waited for a few minutes but nothing came.

"Umm. The immortal Phoenix died of food poisoning." The Turtle said.

"Really?" Master Roshi asked before he remembered something.

"I got it. I could give him that. Come to me. Flying Nimbus." He called out.

A Golden cloud comes towards Master Roshi.

"This is Flying Nimbus. I am giving this to you." He said to Goku.

"It can be used to fly in the sky." Master Roshi said to Goku.

"But you need to have a pure heart to ride it." He continued.

Goku jumped onto the flying nimbus but he was unable to get on as his leg passed through the cloud.

"What?" Goku said in shock.

He was not worthy enough to ride the flying nimbus.

"Do you have another thing that you could give me as a reward?" Goku asked.

"I don't think I could use this one." He followed it up.

"Ah. But that is the only thing that I have? Would you like to take my briefs?" He asked.

"No. If you don't have anything that you can give me How about you give me that dragon ball?" Goku asked Master Roshi.

"This thing." He asked as he showed Goku the Dragon Ball.

"I was planning to sell it for a high prize." He said.

"But still I need to give you something for saving my turtle so just take it." He hesitated a little but he finally gave in as he handed the dragon ball necklace to Goku.

Goku held up the Dragon Ball and smiled.

"Ah. There is also something that I want to ask you." Goku said to Master Roshi.

"Do you have any spare clothes that I could use?" He asked shamelessly.
