"Martial Arts Tournament? What does that mean?" Trunks flew over from a distance, not quite understanding.
"Little bald guy, didn't you participate in several World Martial Arts Tournaments? Explain yourself." Cell looked at Krillin, who was not far away, and called out to him.
Krillin: “…”
Krillin hurriedly flew over, nodded, and explained to Trunks, "Before this, the World Martial Arts Tournament was held on Earth."
“That’s right, this is it.” Cell nodded. “I’m going to revive this tournament! But unlike the World Martial Arts Tournament, this time your opponent will be only me. It will be a one-on-one match. If I win, the next contestant will continue to fight me. There’s no limit to the number of participants! The more people there are, the better for you. So recruit more people!”
Vegeta chuckled to himself.
You really are acting according to my script!
Very good!
This time, I'll take care of this guy named Cell myself.
Kakarot, I'm waiting to see how stunned you are when I transform into Super Saiyan Blue.
"I'll let you know the specific time and place as soon as possible, perhaps through television broadcast," Cell said with a smile. "Heh, Vegeta, let's put our fight on hold for now. We can have a proper contest when the martial arts tournament starts. How about that?"
"I'd be happy to oblige," Vegeta said calmly.
"Television broadcast?" Klin's expression changed.
"Remember to prepare plenty of Senzu Beans!" Cell turned around, intending to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Trunks asked hurriedly, "Cell, what is the purpose of your martial arts tournament? What is your ultimate goal? I can't see it at all. Do you want to conquer the Earth? Or do you want to conquer the universe?"
"The purpose of the martial arts tournament is to plunge the world into panic, and at the same time, it can serve as a training ground to improve our strength," Cell said with a smile. "I haven't figured out my ultimate goal yet. I'm no longer interested in the cliché of conquest, and killing Goku is even less meaningful! You could say that seeking happiness is my greatest goal!"
After saying that, Cell immediately took to the air and quickly disappeared without a trace.
Vegeta looked over coldly, a slight smile curving his lips.
Trunks: "..."
Why do I see my dad as so confident?
Is he really confident he can defeat Cell?
The problem is that in the previous battles, Dad didn't gain much of an advantage.
"What...what exactly does this guy mean?" Krillin gritted his teeth and said, "He absorbed Android 18, I'm not done with him!"
Trunks gave Klin a long look.
Mr. Klin wouldn't have a relationship with Number 18 so soon, would he?
"Vegeta, are you confident you can defeat that guy?" Krillin asked hurriedly.
Just as Vegeta was about to answer the question, he saw Krillin's eyes light up and he suddenly turned his head to look upwards.
"It's Piccolo's aura! Goku and the others are back! That's wonderful!" Krillin was both surprised and delighted. He ignored Vegeta and, with flames erupting from his body, flew rapidly towards the temple.
Vegeta: "..."
Vegeta's face darkened.
That bald guy is so hateful!
He asked one question and then ran away.
Is that polite of you?
No. 16: "..."
Didn't we agree that I would be sent to the headquarters of the Universal Capsule Group for repairs?
What if I don't exist?
"Ah... sorry!" Krillin flew several kilometers away, then immediately turned back and landed next to Number 16.
Number 16 breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Number 16, I'll take you to the headquarters of Capsule Corporation now so Miss Bulma can fix you up," Krillin said with a smile.
"Thank you," Number 16 quickly said.
"Dad, I plan to go to the Room of Spirit and Time to train again," Trunks said solemnly to Vegeta.
“Go ahead.” Vegeta nodded without objection, and then pondered, “I also plan to go in and train properly for another day.”
"Dad has been training me all this time, so he hasn't been cultivating much himself, has he?" Trunks said guiltily.
"My only hope is that one day you will surpass me." Vegeta smiled at Trunks.
Trunks was deeply moved, and his eyes welled up with tears.
Krillin stared blankly at Vegeta, momentarily bewildered.
Is this still the Vegeta I know?
Your public image has collapsed.
Did you say that to Trunks?
I feel you should be looking down on Trunks.
In reality, Krillin had no idea that Vegeta actually had this kind of personality at this stage.
In Vegeta's previous life, Bulma was already pregnant with Bra, although the baby had not yet been born.
In addition, Bulma's death in the previous Trunks timeline, and the wish she left behind, caused a huge change in Vegeta's mindset.
It can be said that Vegeta's experiences over the years have allowed him to grow rapidly into a responsible and family-oriented mature man.
……
Above the temple.
"Shh!"
Sun Wukong used Instant Transmission and quickly brought Dende back from Namek.
Dandy looked around, completely bewildered.
However, upon seeing Son Gohan, he immediately went up to greet him excitedly.
"Dande, it's been a long time." Gohan's expression was much calmer, after all, in the future world, Dende had become the new Kami again.
"Dandy?" Bick was a little surprised.
"Good day, Mr. Bick." Dandy stepped forward and bowed.
Bick nodded, which was his way of saying hello.
"Huh? What happened? Why do I feel Cell's ki getting stronger again?" Goku was taken aback and quickly asked Piccolo.
Piccolo had no choice but to tell Goku everything that had just happened.
After saying that, Piccolo added irritably, "You should have known that Android 18 would be absorbed, right? You didn't want to see Krillin sad, so you went to Namek, didn't you?"
"As expected of Piccolo, you really know me!" Goku didn't deny it, and sighed softly, "Cell has finally become a complete body."
Goku also learned about Cell's martial arts tournament from Piccolo.
Originally, Goku and Piccolo planned to go and have a match with Cell.
However, since Cell directly convened the martial arts tournament, he saved a lot of unnecessary procedures.
"Old Son, did you see Vegeta make a move just now?" Piccolo suddenly turned to ask Goku.
"I see, the Super Saiyan God is indeed amazing," Sun Wukong silently commented.
"How do you think it compares to my orange mode...?" Piccolo's expression shifted slightly as he looked at Goku with hopeful eyes.
Sun Wukong glanced at Piccolo, then rested his chin on his hand in deep thought.
"Just tell the truth." Piccolo glanced at Goku.
“I can’t say for sure, it’s just a rough guess,” Sun Wukong pondered. “I think, based on what you’ve said, your orange mode has a slight advantage.”
"Huh? Uncle Piccolo has become so strong." Gohan was both surprised and delighted, happy for Uncle Piccolo.
Piccolo gently patted Gohan's head, revealing a doting smile.
Even Son Gohan was a little embarrassed.
“Then how do I compare to Cell?” Piccolo asked again.
“Cell obviously didn’t use his full power.” Goku walked to the edge of the temple, looked down at Vegeta, and analyzed, “And it’s clear that Vegeta didn’t use his full power either.”
“Now that you mention it, I’ve noticed that problem too.” Piccolo nodded. “Vegeta clearly still has a lot of energy left, and he’s acting very confidently.”
"Vegeta and Trunks are flying this way, probably wanting to continue their training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber," Goku said to Piccolo, looking down below.
Bick nodded slightly.
"Dandy, could you please revive the Dragon Balls first?" Goku called out to Dendy.
“Okay, no problem.” Dandy readily agreed, then asked, “Do you have a dragon model?”
"I'll go get it!" Mr. Bobo exclaimed excitedly.
One minute later.
The seven Dragon Balls were revived.
……
Vegeta and Trunks soon appeared on the temple.
The group of people exchanged glances.
"Mr. Goku, Master Gohan, Mr. Piccolo," Trunks greeted politely.
"Trunks, you're amazing! You're incredible!" Gohan excitedly grabbed Trunks' hand.
"This... haha... Master Gohan, you flatter me... it's all thanks to my father's excellent teaching." Trunks was a little embarrassed, then suddenly realized, "Master Gohan, you all know what happened?"
“Yes, Uncle Piccolo has become one with Kami, so he can see everything happening below from here.” Gohan nodded.
"Hmph, Kakarot, I hope you train hard." Vegeta greeted Goku with a smile.
"I really need to train harder," Sun Wukong said with a smile.
"So, do you want to use the room of spirit and time?" Vegeta asked.
