Chereads / Dragon Ball: My Earthly Rebirth / Chapter 223 - Chapter 17: The Strongest, Monaka

Chapter 223 - Chapter 17: The Strongest, Monaka

After about twenty minutes, Whis brought everyone to the Planet of the Gods of Destruction, except for John Doe and his two companions, who had been there before.

The cube descended onto a plaza on the planet under Whis's control, and everyone stepped out. Whis addressed the group, "Please be careful not to leave the boundaries of this plaza. The gravity on the Planet of the Gods of Destruction is 1000 times that of Earth."

"Only in this plaza has Lord Beerus raised many rare animals, so the gravity is similar to that of Earth."

"Hey!" Everyone responded in unison to Whis's words, and then they dispersed, playing and admiring the many rare animals that Lord Beerus had collected from all over the universe.

Soon after, Lord Beerus emerged from the depths of the forest near the plaza, accompanied by the strongest warrior in Universe 7, Monaka.

John Doe, Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan all stared intently at Monaka, the strongest warrior in Universe 7, as described by Lord Beerus.

However, when Monaka fully revealed his physique, they were surprised to see his thin arms and legs, which didn't seem powerful at all.

John Doe became even more perplexed. No matter how he looked at Monaka, he didn't seem like a strong warrior. Compared to his short stature, his limbs seemed overly slender.

Red skin, a large head, and ears resembling those of an elf—was this the strongest warrior in Universe 7, Monaka?

Goku immediately rushed forward and circled Monaka, but Monaka remained unmoved. He stood woodenly beside Lord Beerus.

Lord Beerus knew Goku's temperament well—he was fearless, loved fighting, and was always ready for a challenge. So, Lord Beerus spoke up before Goku could act, saying, "Get out of the way. I'll say it again: you are not to challenge Monaka."

Whis, seeing that everyone had arrived, began to usher them into the cube.

"Android 18, let's go. It's time to see your husband's mighty power," John Doe said to Android 18.

Android 18 glanced at John Doe and replied, "I don't mind. Your son will be watching from the stands. If you lose, I wonder what kind of image he'll have of you in his mind."

John Doe was speechless and followed Android 18 into the cube.

Lord Beerus saw that Goku hadn't moved and wasn't continuing to provoke Monaka. He thought Goku had finally realized the situation, so he called out to Monaka and headed towards the cube.

Monaka followed Lord Beerus, and just as he was about to reach Goku's side, Goku suddenly raised his hand, clenched his fist, and punched Monaka in the face.

Since it was a sneak attack, Goku didn't use much force, but he still managed to sink Monaka's face into his skull.

Everyone at the scene was stunned. They hadn't expected Goku to suddenly attack, and they certainly hadn't expected Monaka, the strongest warrior in the universe, to fail to dodge Goku's ordinary attack.

Monaka, with his big, teary eyes, looked aggrieved, but he still obeyed Lord Beerus's instructions and didn't speak easily.

Lord Beerus rushed over and slapped Goku, who was about to apologize, causing him to stumble. He shouted, "You fool! I've told you countless times not to challenge Monaka, but why won't you listen?"

"Our current enemy is from Universe 6. We must stand united. If I find you attacking our comrades again, I'll destroy you."

Goku quickly apologized, saying, "I really didn't expect you to not dodge my attack. I'm truly sorry."

Monaka struggled to hold back his tears and replied, "No, it's fine." After that, Monaka entered the cube under Lord Beerus's escort.

Vegeta and John Doe approached Goku. Vegeta asked, "Hey, Kakarot, what do you think of Monaka?"

Goku looked at his fist, which had struck Monaka, and said, "I didn't sense any intention to dodge or counterattack from him. It's as if he doesn't know martial arts at all!"

"He doesn't know martial arts?" John Doe frowned. Could this Monaka be a ruse by Lord Beerus to fool us, thinking we wouldn't use our full strength?

Goku had said that it didn't matter if they lost, and John Doe agreed. After all, they were just moving to another universe, and Earth would still be the same.

So, Lord Beerus created this Monaka, the strongest warrior in the universe, to make sure they gave it their all!

John Doe didn't share his suspicions with Goku and Vegeta but kept them to himself, waiting to gather more evidence.

Once everyone was inside the cube, Whis waved his staff again, and the cube, with everyone inside, turned into a rainbow light and flew towards the competition venue, the Nameless Planet.

To pass the time during the two-hour journey, Chi-Chi, Bulma, Lina, and Android 18 brought out a barbecue grill and started cooking for everyone.

The cube was soon filled with the aroma of grilled meat, especially for those about to compete. Most of the grilled meat went into their stomachs, except for Monaka, who seemed to be a vegetarian.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the cube emerged from the subspace. A reddish-brown planet covered in craters appeared before them.

However, their attention wasn't on the Nameless Planet but on the six Super Dragon Balls surrounding it, each almost the same size as the Nameless Planet.

Bulma exclaimed, "I knew the Super Dragon Balls were big, but I never imagined that each Dragon Ball would be the size of a planet. They are truly enormous!"

"With such large Dragon Balls, I'm even more eager to see the Super Shenron that will be summoned by gathering all seven! I wonder how big it will be!"

Whis guided the cube along the surface of a Super Dragon Ball, allowing those inside to experience the power of the Super Dragon Ball more vividly.

After flying for a few minutes, Lord Beerus said to Whis, "Whis, that's enough. Let's go to the competition venue."

"Yes, Lord Beerus," Whis replied, and he guided the cube towards the Nameless Planet and the prepared competition venue.

The cube passed through the competition venue's force field and slowly descended onto the fighting stage.

At that moment, Champa and Vados were already there with the warriors and their entourage from Universe 6, waiting for the arrival of the warriors from Universe 7.
