Planet Earth has a lot of water. If you're going to train in these areas, just make sure you can swim or fly.
These are the places you can fish for red snappers to give to Korin in exchange for senzu beans, too.

Upon leaving the hospital, Couric had ran as fast as he could out of Hercule City, dashing to the southwest. And soon enough, he wound up on a cliff side, overlooking the ocean. "The old man said that it was in the middle of the ocean southwest of here...So the only thing I can really do is just swim my way there and hope I don't drown or something..." He reminded himself, folding his arms behind his head.
"On second thought....I might as well get some rest before even heading out..."

"Then again..." He began, stretching a bit before the long trip. "I might as well just get this over with so I don't have to do it later!" He exclaimed, leaping off the cliff and towards the water, fully and truly prepared to swim all the way....Unfortunately for him, fate had other plans, the Saiyan smacking face first into a crate on a cargo ship. Fortunately for him, that cargo ship was headed for the same place he had was; Papaya Island.

As Blaze and his new found friends flew over the oceans one of them asked Blaze if he had ever heard of a Master Roshi. Intrigued Blaze asked who this man was and what he could do for him.

Soon it was explained to Blaze the great power Master Roshi held and how he accepted very few pupils. Thinking about his experience earlier at the Hercule dojo he thought he just might have a shot at being trained by the legendary martial artist. The hover car immediately headed for the Kame House island.

Blaze swimming across the ocean this time, albeit in the same direction heading towards south city. He was informed by Roshi that he could find the porno magazines he needed to buy there. As he swam he wondered why this man would ask for these things even though he already knew the answer.

As Blaze continued to tread water across the ocean swimming as fast as he could he could most definitely feel the strain on his body. Up ahead in the distance he could see land and just beyond that a bustling city. He was pretty certain he had almost arrived at his destination.

As Blaze stepped onto the shore and moved further inward his pace somewhat slowed by the fatigue he was experiencing. It didn't help that he felt twice as heavy because of all the water dripping off him. He and his clothes were soaked completely and thoroughly. None the less as he neared the city he began to jog towards the shop.

Swimming the ocean again this time towards the Kame House, Blaze wonders Will this back and forth never stop? Fucking tiresome always having to go from place to place with no ride
Though he grumbles at the prospect he knows the long distance swimming will strengthen him. He smiles at that prospect as he heads toward Kame House.

As Blaze continues swimming after a good while he begins to see the island and house come into view in front of him. Quickening his pace this time to be over with this trivial swimming shit, Blaze hurries on to the shore of the Kame House.

As Blaze swam he decided this time it would be best to go to the land to the north and from there move on to North City where he could also buy porno magazines but hopefully in a less run down place.

Porno magazines sealed air tight in plastic strapped to his back Blaze sets off swimming towards the Kame House. He knew better than to arrive with wet magazines after the first time, Roshi was heart broken when those few pages were smudged.

Seeing his island up ahead, Blaze relaxed his pace. He knew hard training was imminent and he would like to be as rested as he could. He basically let the waves carry him in for the final thirty meters or so. Taking one step on the island it was beginning to feel like a home with all the times he had visited already.

Couric groaned as consciousness returned to him, the bump that would've been on the back of his head from falling on the ship more or less gone. He paused, noticing the fact that he seemed to be...in water. "Eh...? Did I fall off...?" He asked as he gazed around, confirming for himself that he was pretty much lost with no real land in sight at that point in time. /.....Grrreeaaaat..../

"Well....at least I didn't get killed while I was sleeping." He noted, trying to think a bit more positively despite the fact he was lost in the middle of the ocean...and his head still hurt a bit. The Saiyan pondered just how far away he could be from dry land at that moment, staring up towards the clouds. "Well...here's hoping I'm close."

It was that point that Couric noticed something nudge against his leg, the Saiyan grimacing and slowly tilting his head downwards. /That...can't be good.../ He realized, focusing a bit of energy into his right hand in case he needed it. He couldn't quite make out what the thing floating underneath the water was just yet, even though he had a good idea...

/Please don't be a shark. Please don't be a shark./ He prayed mentally, only to recognize just what the monstrosity below was, eyes immediately widening. Drawing his right hand up, he released his energy in the form of a beam, propelling himself backwards quite quickly. "IT IS A SHARK!!!!" He shouted in horror, having just barely managed to avoid getting his leg torn right off his body.

Of course, despite Couric's sudden departure, the shark didn't just give up and figure it should head back home. That would've been too lucky for it to happen to the teenage Saiyan. But the beam had allowed Couric to gain a head start in the race against being eaten by a carnivore of the ocean. And that was a painful end that no one wanted for themselves, obviously.

Letting the beam die out, Couric drew his arm forward and began swimming as fast as he could away from the monstrous beast. /Well...There is something good about this situation...It's pretty decent training./ He thought, only to realize that it had come at risking death by shark consumption. "DECENT TRAINING WON'T MEAN ANYTHING IF I GET DEVOURED!" He shouted in response to his mind, picking up the pace.

And the shark had begun to close the gap between them, obviously the faster in water than the fourteen year old Saiyan was. Of course, that was normal thanks to the fact that sharks are designed to swim decently fast in the water while beings who live on land are more accustomed to actually moving on land than flailing around like idiots or just swimming in the water. /Not gonna die!/

Couric's focus was entirely on swimming as fast as he could, so, of course, he didn't notice that there would actually be a bit of land in the distance if he looked up. The shark may have known, but anyone actually reading this really wouldn't give a damn about a man-eater's perspective, now would they? Anyways, it would just be a little longer before he actually reached the shore, not at all if the shark gobbled him up.

Couric glanced up from the water for a split second, eyes widening as he caught sight of the land ahead. /Land!/ He exclaimed mentally, any worry about death escaping his mind, replaced with sheer determination. He glanced back towards his pursuer, lips curving upwards into a smirk as he prepared a bit of energy for what he planned to do.

Flipping so his back was towards the ocean floor and his front was facing the sky, he eyed the shark, smirk still plastered upon his visage. "Hey Shark!" He shouted as he slowed down just a tiny bit, letting the overgrown fish believe he was going to get his dinner. And just as the shark would move to tear the young Saiyan's leg clean off, something happened.

"TAKE THIS!" Couric shouted, kicking towards the monstrous carnivore, a shockwave of energy escaping his foot and smashing right into the poor bastard, shattering quite a few of the man-eater's teeth and knocking it towards the ocean floor while propelling young Saiyan into the air. "AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TRY TO EAT PEOPLE!" He shouted, turning so his stomach faced the ocean floor once more while in mid-air.

Couric's return to the water hurt a tiny bit, having practically belly flopped back in, but he was a bit happier than he had been when he woke up that morning. Land was in sight and any worry that the shark would manage to catch up and devour him in an instant were absolutely and completely gone. /I'll definitely be ready by the time the tournament starts....But then again, I knew I would be anyways!/

Picking up the pace, Couric practically tore through the water at his top speed, more focused on getting to shore than anything else. Despite his victory over the carnivore, he wanted nothing more than to be on dry land. That was probably because he hated the fact that he was completely drenched and likely would be for the rest of the day thanks to his stay in the ocean.

After many long hours of walking the desert was finally behind the android. A long stretch of ocean stood in front of the android. Marka was livid he ran into the ocean and began swimming as fast as he could. He loved this sensation, how he could have made his base so far from the ocean, Marka had no idea.

Swimming across the ocean. Maybe not the best idea I've ever had. Shiro was perhaps a half mile out when his injuries from ealier started to wake up. The pain was annoying, but not nearly as bad as they were earlier, thankfully.

Not much later, Shiro looked up for a moment and saw the thin line of land on the horizon. Not much farther now, He thought and kept swimming.

When he was about twenty yards from shore, Shiro's scarf got caught on something. He choked for a moment before detangling himself from the strip of cloth. He caught his breath for a moment before diving down to free his scarf from whatever had snagged it.
