In Age 756, the 23rd Martial Arts Tournament was held in West City.
For the people of Earth today, the World Martial Arts Tournament is no longer just a grand event for martial artists; it has become a celebration for all of humanity.
Anyone who reaches the top eight can earn a generous reward, and the champion even has the opportunity to challenge, or rather consult, the God.
The entire world was ablaze with excitement!
After three years, martial arts culture has flourished on Earth. More and more people are training in martial arts, aided by the promotion of Dragon Ball Corporation and the enticing prizes offered to top competitors. This time, tens of thousands of martial artists participated, setting a new record in the tournament's history.
Notably, the now-grown Piccolo Jr. is one of the competitors!
Naturally, Piccolo Jr. has no interest in prizes or rewards. His sole purpose is to challenge and kill Yuujin, avenging his father, the Great Demon King Piccolo. Piccolo Jr. has inherited his father's ambitions and wicked plans to conquer the world, and Yuujin is a significant obstacle he must eliminate.
However, Yuujin is elusive, rarely appearing, and when he does, he is always surrounded by a group of formidable Red Silk Girls, making it impossible for Piccolo Jr. to strike. This tournament presents an excellent opportunity, as the champion earns a chance to challenge Yuujin alone.
After three grueling years of training, Piccolo Jr. has surpassed the Great Demon King Piccolo, and he's confident he will not lose to that so-called God again!
This tournament, a true clash of titans, saw the emergence of numerous powerful contestants, with the most impressive being the disciples of the Turtle and Crane Schools.
After completing their training at Korin Tower, Krillin and the others have grown tremendously. Especially Yamcha and Tien Shinhan, who now boast battle powers approaching a thousand, are far stronger than their counterparts in the Dragon Ball original story.
The previous tournament's final showdown was between Yamcha and Tien Shinhan, but with Piccolo Jr. entering this time, they had no chance at the title.
One by one, Piccolo Jr. defeated all competitors, claiming victory in the tournament and declaring his identity to the world, along with his challenge to Yuujin.
The world was stunned!
Yuujin, naturally, did not refuse. He accepted Piccolo Jr.'s challenge and entered the arena.
Just when everyone anticipated an epic battle, Piccolo Jr. was promptly defeated by Yuujin shortly after the match began. The entire world was left dumbfounded, and Piccolo Jr. was devastated.
Although Piccolo Jr. is far stronger than the Great Demon King Piccolo ever was, Yuujin has also progressed significantly over the years. Piccolo Jr. was simply too weak to capture Yuujin's interest, so he was taken down effortlessly.
Witnessing the God's invincible power once again, the world erupted in cheers, while a humiliated Piccolo Jr. fled in disgrace.
Ignoring Piccolo Jr.'s escape, Yuujin then made a global announcement—
He was getting married!
Yuujin had been in this world for 25 years now, and even Goku and Chi-Chi, who were a few years younger than him, were already 19.
They say men and women of age should marry. It was about time for Yuujin, too.
As for his brides, they were none other than Bulma, Tights, and Launch.
Yes, Goku and Chi-Chi were also included...
The announcement that the God himself was marrying caused a worldwide sensation.
The wedding was scheduled for one month after the tournament, to be held in the heavens at the temple.
On the day of the wedding, the entire world celebrated. Master Roshi, Son Gohan, Ox-King, King Kaiselukin, Dr. Brief, Mrs. Brief, and other close friends attended the ceremony in the temple. Additionally, one hundred lucky individuals selected from across the globe were invited as representatives, while the rest of the world could witness the wedding via live broadcast.
Before the eyes of people everywhere, Bulma and the other brides stepped forward in exquisite wedding gowns, accompanied by several dozen Red Silk Girls in matching dresses as bridesmaids.
With Mr. Popo officiating, Yuujin and the girls exchanged vows of everlasting loyalty and, under the watchful eyes of the world, formally became bound as husband and wives.
When Yuujin placed rings on their fingers, Chi-Chi and Launch were shy yet blissful, while Bulma and Tights were moved to tears.
As for Goku, she pouted, complaining that the wedding dress was uncomfortable and hindered her movement, making the ring impractical and inconvenient for fighting...
In any case, the grand wedding concluded smoothly, and Bulma and the other brides officially became Yuujin's god-consorts and queens.
Following the wedding, a celebration commenced. Dragon Ball Corporation opened all its restaurants and entertainment venues, allowing people worldwide to indulge for three days and nights, entirely free of charge. Master Roshi, Yamcha, and others also feasted and celebrated in the temple for several days before finally bidding farewell.
After all the guests had departed, Yuujin summoned Shenron once more, wishing for Bulma, Tights, Launch, and Chi-Chi to remain eternally youthful and immortal like him and Goku. Shenron granted Yuujin's wish.
From Age 760(Dragonball) onward, Bulma and her companions would retain their youthful beauty indefinitely, impervious to aging or death unless affected by some external force. Even if misfortune were to befall them, Yuujin would use the Dragon Balls to bring them back to life.
As long as Yuujin lives, he will ensure his wives accompany him, even to the universe's end.
With the wish granted, the next step was the honeymoon after the wedding.
Putting aside plans, ambitions, and martial training for the time being, Yuujin traveled with his wives on vacations, living carefree for a whole year.
A year later, Bulma and the others resumed assisting Yuujin with managing the Dragon Ball Corporation and his growing empire, while Yuujin, Goku, and Chi-Chi ventured into space with the Red Silk Girls for intense training.
Bulma expressed some discontent, feeling Yuujin's current strength made further strenuous training unnecessary. But only Yuujin knew that his power was still insufficient.
In the near future, other surviving Saiyans from Goku's race would arrive on Earth, and they would also face that powerful, malevolent emperor of the universe—Frieza!
To prepare for these formidable foes, he must become ever stronger!
Time flew by, and five years passed in the blink of an eye…
