Planet Terra, Hero Association's Headquarters.
"That should be fine now."
After finishing his conversation with Goku and the others, Lott closed the Universe Chat Room.
First, he deceived the entire group by saying the Dragon Balls had a five-year cooldown.
Even if some people coveted the Dragon Balls' power and wanted to go to Earth to snatch them, a full five-year buffer period meant they probably wouldn't go over so soon.
This gave Goku and the others time to train.
Second, transferring the Namekian Dragon Balls to himself also drew Frieza's attention over here.
After all, the Namekian Dragon Balls were of higher quality, so Frieza would logically choose this side.
Not to mention he had traded barbs with Frieza, so the guy was probably furious by now.
"I don't like owing favors."
As soon as Lott finished speaking,
A massive energy fluctuation, perceptible even to ordinary people, spread across the entire Planet Terra.
"Wh-What's going on? This strange feeling..."
"Why did the sky turn dark? It was just daytime... Even with the moon gone causing issues, it shouldn't be this fast..."
"Ouch! Someone help me up! I'm not used to this gravity yet, I hit the ceiling when I stood!"
Even ordinary people could sense this peculiar energy.
In a high-rise apartment in City A, Yukinoshita Yukino, who had been sitting quietly on the balcony lounge chair reading a novel, noticed the clear sky suddenly turn black.
She immediately realized something was wrong.
'Although the day had shortened from 24 hours to only about 7 or 8 hours due to the missing moon, it shouldn't darken this quickly.'
Yukino stood up and looked out from the balcony.
Her dark pearl-like eyes trembled violently.
In the distance, an unbelievably large Western-style dragon with a big head and small tail was floating next to the Hero Association's headquarters.
Another wealthy heiress living in City A, Eriri Spencer, exclaimed in shock:
"Wh-What is that? A dr-dragon!?"
Hayasaka Ai, waiting with Shinomiya Kaguya at the Shinomiya Residence, tightly gripped her maid uniform with her left hand while holding Kaguya close like a little sister with her right, comforting her softly.
Suppressing her fear, she looked out the window and guessed in a trembling voice:
"Could that be... Shenron?"
…
The Entrance of Hero Association's Headquarters.
"Welcome to Planet Terra, friends from Namek."
Lott reached out his hand towards the Grand Elder, whose size was comparable to a monster.
The Grand Elder hesitated for two seconds but finally extended his large hand and shook Lott's.
"If you need anything, just tell the old man Fujiwara. Don't stand on ceremony."
After shaking hands, Lott pointed to the Prime Minister Fujiwara behind him.
"Welcome, welcome, extraterrestrial friends. We're all family from now on."
The Prime Minister Fujiwara hurried forward to greet them.
"They look so strange, all green skin... Well, but monsters look even weirder."
Child Emperor muttered under his breath.
"So this is Shenron? Truly astounding."
Bang stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the Namekian Shenron, Porunga, with awe.
"Has the first wish been used already?"
After greeting the Grand Elder, Lott stepped forward again and asked the young Namekian standing beside Porunga.
Lott remembered this person should be the strongest Namekian warrior who would later fuse with Piccolo.
'His combat power was around 40,000, right?'
'But it felt like his only role was to make Frieza deliver the famous line, 'My power level is 530,000'.'
'But that was years later… right now, his combat power was probably only a few thousand, maybe nearing ten thousand.'
Nail nodded slightly. "The Namekian Dragon Balls can grant three wishes. We used the first to transport all Namekians to Planet Terra. Two remain."
'Three wishes?'
Nail's words caused everyone present to change their expressions.
'This version of the Dragon Balls was this powerful?'
"I see~ Then for the second wish, create a moon exactly like the previous one."
Nail didn't waste words. He looked up at Porunga and spoke a series of incomprehensible sounds, like Morse code.
"What is that green-skinned person saying?"
Tatsumaki asked a Namekian child curiously.
"That's our Namekian language. Porunga only grants wishes spoken in Namekian."
Hearing this explanation, Tatsumaki and the others' expressions changed again.
'There was such a rule?'
Bang nodded in approval. "That's good. It prevents evil people from misusing the Dragon Balls' power."
Tatsumaki barely resisted the urge to roll her eyes, glancing at Lott's back.
'Wasn't the greatest evil right there?'
After Nail finished his gibberish, Porunga spoke in a human voice:
"This wish is simple~"
Porunga's body released a brilliant golden light that shot through Planet Terra's atmosphere into the South Galaxy's cosmos.
Within seconds, it transformed into a silvery full moon.
At this moment, not only the Terrans but also the inhabitants of other planets in the South Galaxy saw it.
The bright moon, once again occupying the center of the night sky after many days.
Silvery moonlight once again bathed the land, as if everything that had happened before was just a dream.
Yet, the disasters that had ravaged the land just hours ago
Constantly reminded them that the previous events were real.
"The Shenron's power... it's actually real..."
On the Planet Pirate, also in the South Galaxy, aboard the Thousand Sunny, which had just surfaced from the deep sea, the entire Straw Hat Crew was dumbfounded.
"There is one last wish... Speak quickly."
After the moon was restored, Porunga spoke again.
This stumped Lott.
Because he really couldn't think of another wish.
And while Lott remained silent, the council members and heroes behind him grew restless.
Child Emperor thought they could use it to revive the deceased S-Class heroes.
Although many had strange temperaments, Child Emperor felt most were still righteous at heart.
They could be revived to continue serving the Hero Association, or Planet Terra.
But Child Emperor didn't dare say it out loud.
After all, they had indeed offended Lott.
"Old man, you're on good terms with him, right? Ask him to make a wish for you to live a few more years."
Tatsumaki glanced sideways at Bang.
Bang shook his head. "Forget it. I have no interest in longevity. Passing down the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist through the generations is my wish."
'If you don't want it, you can give it to us!'
Many council members screamed internally.
But they didn't have the guts to ask Lott.
Who the hell are you to come asking me?
"Sensei,"
Just then, Genos stepped forward.
"If possible, I have a wish."
"Oh?"
Lott glanced sideways slightly. "Then make your wish."
Seeing Lott agree to Genos's request, the sourness on many people's faces was almost overflowing.
But it wasn't surprising. Genos had always been Lott's loyal supporter from the start.
It was no surprise Lott would grant his request.
At the same time, Mrs. Yukinoshita, Yuuki Shouzou, Kashiwazaki Tenma, and others realized:
On Planet Terra, things like power, money, and assets were completely unimportant.
Your status on Planet Terra depended entirely on whether you were Lott's person!
