16 Celebrating New Years

2 Weeks went by, Raditz would occasionally spar with Goku and Gohan. Sometimes he would do some gravity training. And sometimes, he would also fly up to the Lookout and learn some Namekian language from Mr. Popo.

"Namekian language could always come in handy. Like if I need to make a wish with the Namekian Dragon Balls." Raditz thought positively.

After getting his new scouter, Raditz had been curious about how much battle power a single Fruit of Tree of Might gave. After eating a single fruit, his battle power rose from 395,000 to 445,000.

Raditz continued eating another 4 fruits and his battle power rose to 610,000.

"I feel quite bloated..." Raditz noticed that his body wasn't able to absorb all of the power contained in the fruit after eating so many of them. The more he ate, the less he gained.

"The first three fruits gave me 50,000 each, but then I made quite some lost eating the last two fruits." Raditz analyzed. He needed some time to fully digest all the energy contained in the fruits before he could eat more without diminished returns.

"But to think my battle power increased by over 200,000 just in a moment. This truly feels like doping." Raditz smiled. Because he knew these fruits were fruits for Gods to eat, there was no actual harm in eating them.

"I got 4 more ripe fruits and 50 unripe left. After digesting the energy, I'll try out and see if the unripe ones can still give me any energy. But geez, just how many fruits did Turles waste in order for him to gain over 400,000 battle power? With the diminishing returns, and considering how he was much weaker than I am now, his weaker foundation causes him to waste even more of the energy in the fruit... Did he eat like 30 of them? Such a waste." Raditz felt regretful that he came back late, if only he had come back before Turles had started eating the fruits, he would have several dozens of ripe fruit instead of the 9 he got.

Goku and Gohan would also occasionally bring Raditz around Mt. Paozu for a tour and to enjoy nature. Goku was especially happy after getting his own Gravity Chamber, he would sometimes spar with Raditz and Gohan, sometimes do some gravity training and sometimes take Gohan to play around.

Unlike in the anime, Icarus, the purple dragon appeared quite often around Goku's home and would often play with Gohan and also bring him deep into the forest.

"I've always thought dragons were extremely strong and powerful mythical creatures... To think there exists such weak dragons here in the Dragon Ball World. Or is it just a fake dragon and just some type of lizard that looks similar to a dragon?" Raditz wondered.

Because Chichi wanted to help out with the celebration, the group decided to visit Bulma a day earlier.

"OH MY GOD! I-is this really Bulma's home? It, it's so, so BIG!!!" Chichi exclaimed when they arrived at the doorsteps. Because they had flown over from the skies, Chichi had taken a good look and noticed that Capsule Corp was as big as a village. For such a big area in West City to be owned by a single family, one could imagine just how rich they were.

"Did Chichi forgot she's actually a princess? The Ox King is an actual king with a castle and his own land and endless wealth..." Raditz mocked Chichi in his mind. But maybe it couldn't be helped, Goku and Gohan were two big eaters, each day they had to eat over 10 families' worth of food. And Goku did not even have a job nor any income. If not for the money the Ox King had left them, they would probably be living in the wild hunting for their own food by now...

Raditz imagined Goku's family dressed in fur clothes like cavemen running in the mountains hunting giant dinosaurs for dinner.

There were a great number of stray cats, dogs and even stray dinosaurs roaming freely within Capsule Corp's premises since Gohan even brought Icarus with him, he and Icarus went to play with the stray animals jovially.

Since they were guests, Goku and Raditz did not spar nor do any training while they stayed at Bulma's home. Instead, Raditz enjoyed watching Chichi's comical expressions which changed every once in awhile as she was shocked by almost everything.

Most of all, she was so shocked by seeing the maid droids prepare all the food ingredients for tomorrow. They also did a great job cleaning the house, moving the chairs and tables and all kinds of chores.

Bulma generously gifted Chichi a few maid droids, but for them living in Mt. Paozu, they had little electricity to spare and could not support the few maid droids' battery recharging.

Luckily, being rich means having practically anything, Bulma simply brought out an electricity generator capsule and gave it to Chichi.

"Hm... Now Chichi will have a more relaxing life at home... I wonder if she'll end up keeping a closer eye on Gohan's studies..." Raditz had some useless thoughts.

Raditz was glad to receive his ultra stretchable training clothes from Bulma. She also made a kids' size for Gohan. At least now the two Saiyans will no longer end up naked after transforming into Great Apes.

"Hum... I don't remember such a big event happening in the original storyline... Oh right. They were all kinda dead at that time. And Goku was in Planet Yardrat at that time, so they probably didn't feel like celebrating." Raditz thought because he could not recall such an event as celebrating New Years happening in the anime.

The day passed and it was now the 31st December. Krillin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, Chiatzu, Yajirobe, Oolong, Puaru, Master Roshi, Launch, and Turtle showed up at the celebration. But Bulma got quite a surprise, Piccolo also came. Raditz had forgotten to tell Bulma that he had invited Piccolo as well. And since everyone else had gotten along with Piccolo since their training at King Kai, only Bulma was shocked and scared silly by Piccolo's appearance.

"Happy New Years!!" Everyone said jovially before they dug into their plates of food.

Only Piccolo drank a few beverages without eating any solid food.

Launch had drunk a few too many cups of alcohol and started getting intimate with Tien Shinhan in public. Tien Shinhan's face flushed from embarrassment and scurried away somewhere faraway with Launch chasing after him.

Yamcha had also gotten drunk and started hitting on Bulma, which earned him a very loud slap to the face. Master Roshi also drunk, squeezed Bulma's breasts and got smashed in the head by a chair. Krillin, Chiatzu, Puaru, and Oolong laughed at Yamcha and Master Roshi in schadenfreude.

Raditz, Goku, Gohan, and Yajirobe had an eating contest. Maybe because he did not join their training at King Kai's place, he had no idea just how bottomless the trio's stomachs were.

Yajirobe, with his bloated stomach, looked like an inflated balloon rolled away like a ball was obviously the first to withdraw from the eating competition.

Gohan, due to his child physique, ended up being the 2nd to withdraw from the eating competition.

Raditz and Goku were closely matched, neither could pull ahead with more than 2 plates ahead of the other. Sometimes Raditz would lead, sometimes Goku. This continued for a very long time, so long the audience was so shocked their eyes were popping out and their jaws gaped so wide that even a baseball would fit in their gaping mouth.

In the end, Raditz raised the white flag. But not due to being too full, instead, he was feeling nauseous from eating so much and went to the side to drink soda.

Goku, for some reason, maybe because he wasn't feeling full yet, continued eating.
