On one side, John Doe and Zamasu were locked in a stalemate, but Goku and Vegeta were dominating Black John Doe.
Goku and Vegeta were both rivals and partners, having trained together for a long time, and they knew each other's moves inside out.
Despite it being their first time fighting together, their teamwork was seamless.
Goku swept Black John Doe off his feet with a leg sweep, and Vegeta followed up with a knee strike directly to Black John Doe's face.
Under Vegeta's powerful attack, Black John Doe's face was completely deformed.
Goku then struck again with a double-handed punch, slamming Black John Doe hard into the ground.
Vegeta said to Goku, "Kakarot, seeing this face that looks exactly like John Doe's, constantly being attacked by us, doesn't it feel great?"
Goku nodded and replied, "It does feel great, but let's not get carried away. We need to finish this guy off quickly."
The two of them sent Black John Doe flying again, and then Goku assumed the posture of the Kamehameha while Vegeta prepared the Final Flash.
Two powerful energy waves shot towards Black John Doe, encountering no resistance, and directly engulfed his body.
However, Goku and Vegeta felt no joy because they realized that their energy blasts had not hit Black John Doe.
Meanwhile, John Doe was still entangled in combat with Zamasu.
A black figure suddenly appeared behind Zamasu—it was Black John Doe.
"Instant Transmission!" John Doe exclaimed.
Although Black John Doe was covered in wounds, he smiled coldly at John Doe, waiting for the right moment to strike both of them.
Black John Doe used Instant Transmission again, disappearing from John Doe's sight.
Goku and Vegeta arrived in front of John Doe, and Vegeta cursed loudly, "Damn it! They can also use Instant Transmission, and with their immortality, it's going to be extremely difficult to defeat them."
The three of them scanned for Black John Doe and Zamasu's energy, and soon enough, the two of them reappeared before the trio.
The severely wounded Black John Doe, who had been on the brink of death, had now fully recovered.
Seeing Black John Doe's recovery, John Doe and the others were at a loss for what to do. Zamasu was like an immortal fountain, and with their ability to use Instant Transmission, the three of them wondered how they could possibly defeat them.
"What should we do?" Vegeta asked.
John Doe thought for a moment and said, "To defeat Black John Doe, we need to restrain Zamasu first."
"How do we do that?" Goku asked.
John Doe carefully recalled the ultimate moves they had at their disposal and then remembered Master Roshi's "Mafuba."
Because Piccolo had been easily defeated by John Doe, and Piccolo Jr. couldn't beat them either, the "Mafuba" had never been used before.
But now, against Zamasu, there was no better ultimate move than the "Mafuba."
John Doe never imagined that the method he was thinking of to deal with Zamasu was the same one Goku had thought of in the original story.
John Doe said to Goku, "Goku, you need to go find Future Trunks right now, ride the time machine back to the past, and learn the 'Mafuba' from Master Roshi."
"What kind of move is the 'Mafuba'?" Goku asked curiously.
John Doe urged him, "Hurry up and go, Master Roshi will explain it to you. The sooner you learn it and come back, the sooner we can hold these two off."
At that moment, Black John Doe, completely unharmed, stood before John Doe and the others. He said smugly, "I need to thank you. I used to think that if I could just swap bodies, I would become the strongest in the universe. But the result was that my soul and body were not compatible."
"This meant I couldn't unleash the full power of this body, but now, things are different. After experiencing near-death several times, I've become more and more compatible with this body."
"I now feel an even greater power surging within me, and I'll show it to you right now."
After saying this, Black John Doe began to power up, and the entire earth and sky started to tremble under his energy.
"Damn it! What transformation is he going to use?!" Vegeta exclaimed, even more surprised by the commotion around them.
As Black John Doe let out a final battle cry, "Ha!", his entire body was enveloped in a pink aura. When it dissipated, his hair, eyebrows, and eyes had all turned pink, with a hint of green mixed in.
Black John Doe clenched his fists, feeling the immense power within his body, and smiled coldly, "This state should be what you call Super Saiyan Blue, right? It's like covering the Super Saiyan form with divine energy!"
"But with my current color, it can't be Super Saiyan Blue. I think I'll call it Super Saiyan Pink. It's a pretty good name."
"Let's have our third fight. Let's see if you can beat me again."
After saying this, Black John Doe swung his pink arm blade towards John Doe and Vegeta.
John Doe took the initiative and attacked Black John Doe, while Zamasu also tried to attack John Doe, but Vegeta blocked him.
Vegeta now understood the frustration John Doe had felt earlier. No matter how he attacked Zamasu, the latter would instantly recover, and Vegeta couldn't inflict any damage.
"Kakarot! What are you waiting for? Staying here won't help!" Vegeta shouted at Goku, who was still watching from the sidelines.
"Oh, okay," Goku said, turning and flying towards Future Trunks.
Zamasu, seeing Goku leaving the battlefield, tried to intercept him, but Vegeta blocked his way.
Black John Doe didn't care; all he wanted to do was kill John Doe, the original body.
Especially after watching the video of John Doe's fight with Hit on the internet, he had made up his mind to pin John Doe down in the future.
The two John Does clashed in the sky, their figures flashing as they fought, the sounds of their battle echoing through the heavens.
John Doe made another swift assault, hitting Black John Doe, but the latter didn't care and traded blows, punching John Doe in the face.
John Doe retaliated with a side kick to Black John Doe's abdomen, and the two of them continued to exchange punches and kicks, soon becoming covered in wounds.
