Dragon Ball: Goku Si 22

“Damn… your appetite never ceases to amaze me…” Krillin commented with a sweaty forehead as he looked at the pile of food. What amazed him was his table manners… the guy was a vacuum cleaner, but he still had his table manners!

“It does… Goku was always like this…” Roshi commented from the side as he remembered their first dinner together as a student and a teacher. It traumatised his wallet quite a bit… and him.

“Yeah… at least he is not stuffing himself…” Bulma chipped in.

“That’s because I trained him to behave.” Aeos motioned with her hand as the empty plates flew into the shocked-looking waiters' hands.

“Impressive.” The old turtle commented. He was impressed overcoming habits is quite hard…

Aeos smirked as she looked at Bulma for a second.

“It took a while, but there were times when he had nothing else to do. So, we simply fought, and if I win, he will have something to do for me~” She then smiled as she explained to them.

“One thing for sure is that he does keep his word.” The Goddess said that quite smugly as she sensed a little bit of jealousy going her way from the blue-haired girl.

“So, how many times do you guys fight, and what is the score?” Krillin asked curiously.

“Hmmm, at least twenty times.” Aeos pondered for a bit as she recalled all the times they fought recently.

“And the score?”

“20 and 0…” She said with a grin.

They all looked at Goku, who swallowed first before explaining himself.

“Don’t look at me like that. She is super duper strong.” The blonde Saiyan, with a resigned voice, clarified to them.

“Even now? But your power is in twelve digits, if not more.” Krillin sighed as he still couldn’t see what Aeos’ power level was… she was a beast.

“...Clearly, she is someone special.” Bulma hinted at that… well, she already knew.

“You don’t say she can create training areas that can impact the flow of time,” Krillin replied to that hint with a sassy voice.

“...You said it, Krillin…” Bulma shrugged.

Aeos looked at them, and she realised that they knew, but they pretended to walk around the subject…

Well, she shrugged. It was not her place to reveal such a thing. However, she was curious how Bulma knew what she was.

‘Dragon balls?’

The blue-haired Goddess pondered as it was the most likely case.

~~~

After eating, it was time for the finals. 

Goku walked to the arena where Tian Shinhan was waiting for him.

[ANNND It’s time for Finals! We have the last tournament’s Champion, Son Goku! And the underdog, Tian Shinhan! Let the match begin!]

Tian and Goku took their stances. The three-eyed teen tried to look for any openings, but the longer he looked, the more nervous he became.

‘What is with him!? What is with this pressure!? Just how strong is he!?’

Eventually, he shook his head, lunged forward, and tried to deliver a horizontal karate chop, but Goku dodged at the last second before going for a punch.

Tien tried to deliver a knee to his neck, but the Saiyan used that knee to kick off and deliver a spin kick to the back of Tien’s neck, sending him flying.

The bald crane student was about to fall from the arena, but he ended up floating, repositioned himself in midair, and floated properly.

Tien ended up facing Goku as there was a very pale look on his face.

‘At that moment when his kick connected with my neck… I sensed his enormous Ki!

H-He is not using less than 99.99% of his energy! What kind of monstrous control is this!? I-Is these tournaments part of his training!?’

“You are hiding more than 99.99% of your power! There is no point in these fights! I can beat you.”

Tien said with a frown, but then he took a stance, bringing his hands closer together.

“I will surrender if you take my strongest attack! Do you agree!?” 

The bald teen proceeded to gather Ki either way…

Goku shrugged as he crossed his hands.

“Sure, I can sense that you can hardness and raise your Ki when you attack. That shows great control over your Ki.” The Saiyan praised the fellow martial artist.

“Don’t mock me. I am not even close to your control.” Tien proceeded to sweat as he was charging his attack.

“HERE IT COMES! TRI-BEAM!”

A beam rushed at Goku, who simply looked at the incoming attack.

‘No wonder he could impact Semi-Perfect Cell with this move… he tripled his KI to deliver this move.’

As the Saiyan commented, he simply waited for the technique to slam into him.

The impact of the blast caused a huge explosion, but since the arena’s durability was improved, the white tiles were not damaged.

[Tien Shinhan just delivered a devastating attack! It created a huge explosion and caused a huge dust cloud.] The announcer commented as the dust cloud settled down not long after.

[T-The attack did nothing! Son Goku’s clothes don’t even look damaged!] 

“You gathered your attack between your fingers and then locked in. What an incredible attack.” Goku commented like he was part of the announcer’s team…

But Tien Shinhan was breathing heavily as he landed on the ground and got on his knees.

“...I…Give up…”

[AND FINALIST TIEN SHINHAN GIVES UP!] The blonde announcer raised his hand at Goku, who raised his hand.

[Two times in a row, Son Goku has dominated the competition! Do you have something to say to the crowd?] The blonde announcer rushed to the arena and offered him the microphone.

“Yes. I do have something to tell to the wide world.” Goku took the offered microphone.

[I wish to tell people that anyone can achieve the abilities we displayed in the fights. From flying to producing energy beams.] Goku raised his free hand and shot a beam into the sky.

[To achieve such power, one needs to train and push one's body to the limit, and then one can sense one's Ki, the inner energy. I wish to offer to anyone who wishes to train and become strong like no other to join my Sect in Mount Paozu, where I will teach you mysteries of Ki and true power.]

His aura roared to life as he said that, and the entire place trembled for a second. Dark clouds appeared above the sky, and lightning crackled for a second before stopping.

[Take destiny into your hands so that terrors like King Piccolo would never happen again.]

~~~

Goku’s declaration caused a huge stir as the word spread rapidly throughout the world. Inspiring martial artists could only grin from ear to ear. They had seen what the kid could do last time, and this time was no different!

People swiftly proceeded to rush towards the location they heard.

“Huh…” Yamcha looked at the green dragon-like creature flying towards him.

“You are Yamcha?”

“Yeah?”

“I will kill you!”

“...What?”

The dragon-like creature rushed towards him. The ex-bandit was minding his business after escaping from Goku. But now, some weirdo creature wants to kill him?

The dragon lunged at him, but Yamcha simply caught his clawed hand and looked confused.

“I don’t know who you are, buddy, but I don’t take threats lightly,” Yamcha commented as the green beast tried to pull his hand back.

“H-How can you be this strong!?”

“I trained very hard for a while.” Yamcha mocked as he delivered a powerful smack into the dragon-like creature’s stomach.

**WHEEEZE**

The beast collapsed on the ground as it was holding its stomach.

“...huh?”

“...did I kill it?” Yamcha realised that before starting to panic!

“Oh crap!”

He looked around for a second before he sensed someone arrive next to his location.

“Relax, what you just faced was King Piccolo’s creature,” Goku commented as he finally found Yamcha. The guy was hiding his Ki to an impressive level when he wanted to hide.

“...King Piccolo? As in the Demon King? I thought he was sealed.” Yamcha calmed down when he heard that the guy he killed was something evil.

“He was until some moron released him. Though he is not a threat, I will deal with him myself. In the meantime.” Goku smiled, and Aeos floated down next to the blonde Saiyan.

“We shall train you properly, that arrogance, we will…tamper it.” The Goddess said to the ex-bandit, who had started to sweat buckets.

“Hahahaha, can we discuss terms of training?” 

The guy looked around, thinking of a way to escape to the hills.

“We will. After you, temper your bad qualities.” As Goku said that, he pointed his hand, and a golden layer of aura surrounded Yamcha. 

The guy tried to struggle, but this energy was bottomless! He can’t resist it.

“Let’s go, Aeos. I can sense that people wish to enter our Sect.” Goku said to his fiance as he gazed away.

“Yes, I can sense it too.”

The pair looked towards Mount Paozu and proceeded to fly there at extreme speeds.

~~~

“Cymbal has been killed.” King Piccolo exclaimed with anger as his widened in fury.

“This can’t continue!”

He closed his eyes and contacted his other child.

‘Tambourine… avenge Cymbal.’

‘Yes. I will!’

A green gargoyle changed its flying destination and proceeded to fly into a different location.

~~~

The winged green gargoyle-like creature used its wings to fly towards a location. It was Mount Paozu. According to the news he got, everyone was in Mount Paozu, and all people with at least some power were travelling there.

“Hmm… and you are? I can sense that you are not a good guy.” Krillin rose into the air to meet up with this guy.

He can sense an ice-cold Ki.

“...Ah, you are one of the participants of that martial arts tournament.”

“Yeah?”

“Good, then I won’t need to look for you. I can kill you here.”

“...huh? With your power level… buddy, can you even sense my power?” The bald ex-monk asked with a confused look. This green guy was a weakling… what is he even talking about?

“You think you are strong!? Let me show you true power!” The green gargoyle-like creature rushed towards Krillin with prolonged nails.

However, Krillin casually caught the nails like they were nothing.

“...I don’t know where you get this arrogance, but you are weak.” With a casual smack, Krillin broke his nails.

“AHHHH! M-My fingers!!!” Tambourine exclaimed with pain as blood was flowing from his fingers.

“Sheesh… man up.” Krillin rolled his eyes as he disappeared and reappeared behind the gargoyle before delivering a powerful kick to the guy’s neck.

**CRACK**

The spawn of Demon King proceeded to smash into the grounds just outside the sect grounds.

“...Krillin… why are you trashing the Sect?” Goku arrived in front of Krillin as he sighed, witnessing the whole thing.

“...Hahaha, sorry, I forgot that the whole Mountain range is yours.” Krillin rubbed the back of his head. But then he realised something.

“Wait, did you actually buy the mountain range?” 

“...last time I checked, areas like these are free for grabs, as they are pure wilderness,” Goku said with a shrug.

“...Huh, so you did your research?” Krillin asked him.

“No, I asked Aeos.” The Ascended Super Saiyan shrugged before proceeding to descend where Tambourine’s corpse should be.

“Of course you did…”

‘Who needs that stuff when you have an all-knowing Goddess as fiance…’

“So what’s with Yamcha? He looks like a statue.” The bald ex-monk asked with a curious gaze as he saw Yamcha in a shocked position, frozen in place.

“I used my Ki to encase him so that he wouldn’t escape again,” Goku replied as he walked over to the corpse and pointed his palm.

A yellow beam erased the mutated Namekian before making a hand motion, and the entire area proceeded to get fixed with his magic.

“Nice, your magic improved further!” Krillin realised that Goku’s control over magic became extremely smooth! It’s terrifying! He realised that Goku had used even less than half of his arsenal in the tournament. He only wielded Ki, apart from improving the arena,

“Yeah, I build the whole sect with it. It was… taxing.”
