Can these balls really fulfill people's wishes?
Goku expressed curiosity.
But no one paid attention to him.
Takumi looked at Bulma with a smile.
"No conditions."
"As I said, these things don't work for me."
Takumi understood what she was thinking.
She was worried he might ask for something excessive.
But Bulma was overthinking.
Takumi had no interest in the Dragon Balls.
"I don't believe it!!"
"There's no such thing as a free lunch!!"
Bulma couldn't accept it.
How could anyone be that generous?
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself."
"My name is Takumi. I'm from another world."
"You must've sensed the new rules that came to this world, right?"
"I created those."
Takumi smiled and introduced himself.
Bulma was stunned.
Rules?
Takumi?
Another world?
He created those rules?
Shocked, Bulma realized this man was from another world.
And he'd altered the structure of their own?
That made him extraordinary.
A god from another world?
Bulma, still a young genius girl, could only imagine Takumi as a god.
"You're a god from another world?"
She looked at Takumi, full of disbelief.
Takumi blinked, then laughed.
"God?"
"That's the most common thing in our world."
"I'm way above that."
He was joking, but serious.
In his world, gods were treated like commodities.
He wasn't one of them.
Bulma looked dazed.
More powerful than a god?
For a while, she doubted everything.
But Takumi didn't seem to be lying.
So were these Dragon Balls really just trash to him?
Then why give them to her?
"Don't think too much."
"Treat it as a gift."
Seeing her suspicion, Takumi sighed inwardly.
This girl was just too cautious.
He didn't even know how to complain.
Was she worried there was a hidden cost?
He almost wanted to open her head to see how it worked!
"Is there anything you want me to do?"
Still suspicious!
Takumi's mouth twitched.
"If you don't want it, give it back!!"
He couldn't take it anymore.
Her endless questions were tiring!
When he said that, Bulma finally accepted.
"I want it!!"
She excitedly picked up the Dragon Balls.
Women really were difficult.
If you're too nice, they refuse.
The moment you get annoyed, they agree.
Ridiculous!
Shaking his head, Takumi stayed silent.
"Go on, make a wish."
Bulma hesitated.
"Now I don't know what to wish for."
She used to want a Prince Charming.
But then Takumi showed up.
Handsome and mysterious—who needed Prince Charming?
So... maybe a different wish?
But what?
She already had more money than she could spend.
So maybe not that either.
For a moment, she was frustrated.
Seeing this, Takumi chuckled.
"There aren't many wishes Shenron can grant."
"Anything he can do, my world can do better."
"You don't lack money or power."
"Immortality? Eternal youth?"
"Think carefully."
"If you come to my world, with your talents, you'll handle things easily."
Takumi offered a reminder.
Bulma was intrigued.
"Your world?"
What did that mean?
"This world is now connected to mine."
"I'm building a gate—come and go freely."
Takumi smiled as he explained.
Bulma was stunned.
"You can really go to another world??"
She was fascinated.
What kind of place was it?
"Of course."
"Here's some basic info."
"Also, this is your terminal device."
He transferred a ball of information into her mind.
As she processed it, her eyes widened.
"What an incredible world!!"
"I'm going!!"
She made up her mind.
Takumi's world was too enticing.
Everything about it called to her.
She was going to the Suye world!
And Takumi was right—he could fulfill any wish.
Thinking of that, she handed the Dragon Balls to Goku.
"Here! You make a wish!!"
...
Goku looked confused.
Huh?
Didn't Bulma want to make a wish?
Now she was giving it to him?
Takumi watched silently.
"I'm helping him."
"Just running a test."
Takumi's smile widened.
Then, he summoned Shenron.
Bulma looked puzzled.
What was he planning?
The skies changed.
A cyan dragon soared above.
"Speak your wish!"
Even Shenron was startled by Takumi's presence.
This guy was terrifying just standing there.
He had a wish?
Was this serious?
"Awaken his latent potential."
Takumi pointed at Goku.
Everyone blinked.
Latent potential?
What was that?
Bulma was just as curious.
Shenron looked at Son Goku and said weakly:
"I can't fully awaken it..."
What a shame.
Shenron was stunned by Goku's hidden power.
It was too much for him to unlock.
Takumi sighed.
"Useless."
Shenron broke into a sweat.
He couldn't help it—it was beyond his limits.
"Then do your best."
Takumi didn't push.
If Shenron couldn't do it fully, then just as much as possible.
This way, Takumi could observe and study.
Later, he'd help Goku himself.
Shenron nodded hastily.
His eyes glowed red.
A beam of light fell on Goku, awakening his hidden power.
Goku's aura surged wildly.
The change stunned him!
