"I am Son Goku. Who are you?"
Goku touched the back of his head, looking at the unfamiliar yet beautiful girl in front of him with an innocent expression.
"Goku, you actually forgot about me? Hmph!"
The girl couldn't suppress her anger any longer. She shot him a fierce glare before turning away and storming off.
"You idiot," Renkai chuckled, walking up and giving Goku a pat on the shoulder. "You're always training or fighting. She's Chichi."
It was for Chichi's sake that Renkai had accepted Goku's request and let him participate in the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament.
"Chichi?"
Goku looked confused, scratching his head.
"Do I know her?"
"Unbelievable," Renkai sighed, shaking his head. Leaving Goku to his thoughts, he went to find Bulma before the matches began.
Bulma had lost interest in the tournament after participating herself, so she returned to the audience to cheer for the others.
Half an hour later, the quarterfinals began under the guidance of the blonde announcer in sunglasses.
First Match: Yamcha vs. Renkai
"Big brother, there's no need to fight. I surrender!"
As soon as Yamcha stepped into the ring and saw Renkai, he immediately raised his hand in defeat. The crowd was stunned, but Yamcha knew better—fighting Renkai was pointless.
Next Match: Goku vs. Chichi
"You're too weak. I don't want to hurt you. Can you just surrender?"
Goku spoke sincerely, not wanting to harm his opponent.
"Stop looking down on me!"
Feeling underestimated, Chichi let out a determined cry and launched a fierce kick at Goku. She followed up with a barrage of punches and kicks, each one carrying all her strength.
Goku, however, remained still, allowing her attacks to land. He didn't flinch—her strikes couldn't break through his defenses.
This was the World Martial Arts Tournament, and to Goku, the only real opponent was his big brother, Renkai.
After ten minutes of relentless attacking, Chichi was exhausted, panting heavily.
"You're bullying me, Goku!"
Tears welled up in Chichi's eyes as she knelt on the ring, looking at Goku with grievance.
Goku panicked and turned toward Renkai for help.
"Big brother, what do I do?"
Renkai smirked and used his telepathic ability to speak directly into Goku's mind.
"Idiot, just do what I usually do when I'm with Bulma."
Goku's eyes widened in realization.
"Oh, like how you act around Bulma!"
With that, he awkwardly mimicked Renkai's usual mannerisms.
It wasn't long before Chichi burst into laughter.
"Goku, I came here for our childhood promise."
Her expression turned shy as she gazed at him.
Goku tilted his head.
"Promise?"
After a bit of explaining, Goku finally understood that he had once promised to make Chichi his bride.
With Renkai's guidance, Goku agreed to the promise, and the entire group cheered for his unexpected engagement.
Krilin sighed.
"I'm jealous."
With that, the tournament resumed.
One by one, the remaining fighters were eliminated.
The Finals: Renkai vs. Goku
"Big brother, I'm so happy to finally face you in the World Martial Arts Tournament!"
Goku's excitement was evident as he stood before Renkai, filled with anticipation.
"Go, Goku!"
Chichi cheered from the audience.
"Renkai, you better not lose!"
Bulma called out, determined to support her man.
The crowd roared with excitement.
The announcer, adjusting his sunglasses, spoke into his microphone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have reached the grand finals! Our reigning champion, Son Goku, has demonstrated unparalleled strength, crushing every opponent in his path. But standing against him is the equally formidable fighter, Renkai, who has also defeated every challenger with ease!
Who will emerge as the champion? Let's find out!"
The cheers from the audience echoed throughout the stadium as the two warriors took their positions.
"Goku," Renkai said, "this is a competition, and there are many spectators around. For their safety, we shouldn't use powerful energy attacks like Ki Blasts."
Goku nodded.
"That makes sense. Let's stick to hand-to-hand combat."
His eyes burned with excitement.
"Big brother, I've trained hard for years just for this moment. Please don't hold back!"
"Of course, Goku," Renkai said, his own fighting spirit igniting.
Both warriors entered their fighting stances.
"This will be the most intense battle in tournament history!"
Bulma pulled out a scouter and analyzed their power levels.
The device beeped rapidly.
Renkai: 1.8 million
Son Goku: 5.5 million
Krilin leaned over.
"Bulma, who do you think is stronger?"
Bulma didn't hesitate.
"Obviously Renkai."
Krilin blinked.
"But Goku's power level is way higher!"
Bulma smirked.
"You don't get it. Renkai always hides his true strength."
Chichi crossed her arms.
"No way. Goku's going to win!"
Meanwhile, in the ring, Renkai turned to Goku.
"Goku, fighting on this small stage will restrict our abilities. How about we take this battle to the sky?"
"Sounds great!"
With a burst of energy, the two warriors shot into the sky, soaring high above the clouds.
Gasps filled the audience as the two combatants became mere black dots in the sky.
Krilin and the others, possessing strong eyesight, followed the movements closely.
Up in the air, Renkai spoke.
"Goku, I'm going to show you my true power now."
His body began to change.
In an instant, Renkai transformed into a towering, three-meter-tall dragon humanoid, his scales gleaming with an otherworldly aura.
Goku's eyes widened in excitement, his fighting spirit burning like molten lava.
"Finally, big brother!"
After all these years of training, his dream was about to come true—an all-out battle with Renkai at his peak!
The battle of legends was about to begin.
