Powerful Goku

"What incredible power." King Kai clung to a tree, trembling.

Two streaks of light, one white and one red, collided at incredible speed in midair, then instantly parted. The two of them flew around King Kai's Planet at high speed, leaving the sky above the entire planet covered in their streaks of light, like a red-and-white spiderweb.

The two fought at incredible speed, the dense thuds of their collisions ringing out one after another. The battle was fierce.

"Five times!"

The aura around Goku surged, and his overwhelming energy filled the entire planet.

The whole of King Kai's Planet shook incessantly, as if it were about to explode at any moment.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! My planet's going to be destroyed!" Feeling the planet trembling beneath him, King Kai clung to the tree trunk and shouted.

Boom!

Their fists slammed together, and an energy storm began to spread, sweeping through the surroundings with overwhelming force. King Kai's Planet, once filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, looked as if it had been plowed over; even the earth beneath the ground was overturned.

I could hold my own against Wang Yang with a twofold Kaioken, and even with a fivefold Kaioken, I still can't gain the upper hand. Wang Yang's strength is always about the same as mine. Could he be hiding his true power just like I am? As they fought, Goku couldn't help thinking about it.

"Don't get distracted while you're fighting me." Wang Yang caught the instant Goku's movements faltered, seized the opening, and punched him in the chest, sending him flying backward, doubled over.

"Ten times!" Just after he had flown a short distance, Goku suddenly shouted. The red aura around him surged even more fiercely, and he stopped his backward momentum in an instant before charging straight at Wang Yang.

The Kaioken really is something else! Seeing Goku wreathed in red light, Wang Yang couldn't help marveling to himself.

As Son Goku rushed toward him, Wang Yang's energy suddenly swelled, and he threw a punch at him.

Boom!

Their fists met, and their figures became visible in midair.

They were locked in a stalemate, veins bulging on their faces as they clenched their teeth and gripped each other's hands, straining against one another.

On one side was Goku, his body enveloped in a surging red aura, looking incredibly powerful. On the other was Wang Yang, his energy restrained, looking perfectly ordinary.

All of King Kai's Planet shook violently. Countless bolts of lightning appeared out of nowhere, and the fat King Kai fell off the tree and landed on his backside.

"Ow!"

Just then, the red aura around Son Goku grew even brighter, as if it could drip blood, and his energy surged.

"Tw—"

"Stop! Both of you, stop right now!" King Kai rushed forward in a panic, scrambling along as he waved his arms frantically at Wang Yang and Goku in midair.

"If you don't stop, you'll destroy my planet!"

At King Kai's words, Wang Yang and Goku paused for a moment. They looked around at the barren landscape, exchanged a glance, and immediately understood one another. They both eased off at the same time.

The red aura around Goku subsided, and he stood in place, panting heavily. Suddenly, he noticed that Wang Yang across from him wasn't even flushed or out of breath, and couldn't help staring in surprise.

"You weren't even using your full strength?" Goku immediately jumped up and pointed at Wang Yang, shouting.

"Of course I was using my full strength. I just have a very strong constitution and a lot of stamina. Don't let how relaxed I look fool you; I've nearly run out of energy, too." Wang Yang looked at the battered Goku and couldn't help smiling.

"Really?" Son Goku asked skeptically. It seemed like Wang Yang said that every time they finished fighting.

"Absolutely."

He had spent twenty years honing his body without a break, and his constitution had become incredibly strong. He figured that even the Legendary Super Saiyan Broly might not be able to outlast him in a drawn-out battle—assuming, of course, that Broly's power didn't keep increasing as the battle went on.

"The Kaioken really is something else!" Wang Yang looked at Goku with a faint smile. Before transforming into a Super Saiyan, the technique was practically divine.

Especially with his powerful constitution, if he used the Kaioken, the boost would certainly be far greater than Son Goku's.

"Heh! Hahaha! Hahaha..." Hearing Wang Yang praise his ultimate technique, King Kai first smiled modestly, but finally couldn't hold it in and clutched his stomach, roaring with laughter.

"Goku, it looked to me like you weren't going all out just now." Wang Yang looked at the grinning Goku with a knowing smile.

"I was! That was pretty much my full strength." Goku immediately jumped up, waving his hands and shaking his head like a rattle drum.

Keep pretending, go on! Wang Yang raised an eyebrow. Goku's body still hadn't reached its limit; he could have used an even stronger Kaioken. And it sounded as if Son Goku had been about to call out twentyfold.

A twentyfold Kaioken would be a bit too much for me to handle.

Wang Yang muttered to himself.

"Wang Yang, what did you come looking for me for?" Goku hurriedly changed the subject.

"Well, a year ago, your older brother Raditz..." Wang Yang explained what had happened.

"Saaiyans? Is this new enemy strong?" Goku had often trained with Wang Yang over the years, and had learned a little about the Saiyans from him. So he wasn't particularly surprised to hear that his older brother Raditz had arrived. But at the mention of a new enemy, his hands started itching for a fight.

"How strong?" Wang Yang scratched his head. It was hard to compare; power levels were an unfamiliar concept to Goku.

Suddenly, Wang Yang spotted the plump King Kai, and his eyes lit up.

"About as strong as King Kai!"

"Huh? They're only as strong as King Kai?" Goku asked in surprise. King Kai was really weak. Should he beat him with one finger, or two?

"Son Goku, you little brat!"

"What do you mean? Are you looking down on me, the great King Kai?"

Hearing Son Goku belittle him, as if he weren't even a match for him, King Kai sprang up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on and roared at him.

"Haha, I misspoke. Lord King Kai is very strong. I owe a lot of my strength to you." Goku hurriedly smiled and tried to appease him.

"Hmph! You'd better know it. I'm incredibly powerful!" Hearing Goku's words, King Kai immediately put on an expression of approval.

Son Goku seized the opportunity to tell a few corny jokes to cheer King Kai up.

After King Kai's generous hospitality, Wang Yang and Goku ate their fill on King Kai's Planet and stood refreshed on the lawn, which had already been repaired.

"We'll get going now. We'll come visit you again when we have time, King Kai." Goku waved at him. Then Wang Yang used Instant Transmission, and the two of them disappeared from King Kai's Planet.

Goku's gotten so much stronger. There probably aren't many people in the universe who can beat him now. King Kai looked up at the peaceful sky. It seemed as if Goku were there, smiling foolishly at him, and King Kai couldn't help laughing, too.

He was incredibly proud to have trained such a powerful student as Goku.

Next time we meet, I'll take Goku out to see the world!

At the edge of the plaza on Kami's Lookout, Kami gripped his staff and stared solemnly at the white clouds below. His gaze seemed to pierce through layer upon layer of clouds to see any place on Earth.

Without a sound, Wang Yang and Goku appeared behind Kami.

"Hey, Kami!" Goku cheerfully patted him on the shoulder.

"Hm? Goku, you're back." Kami jumped in fright. But when he saw Goku's beaming smile, his worries immediately vanished, and a smile appeared on his aged face.

It seemed that as long as Goku was around, the enemy could be defeated.

"Goku, Wang Yang, two powerful and evil Saiyans have invaded. Everyone has gone to face them, and Wang Sheng and Gohan have already gone, too. I'm afraid they won't be able to handle the two Saiyans. Hurry and go help them," Kami said urgently.

"Don't worry, Kami. With us around, everyone will be fine!" Goku said confidently, patting his chest.

Just as Goku was about to gather his energy and fly toward the strongest nearby power, Wang Yang suddenly placed a hand on his shoulder.

Son Goku looked at Wang Yang in confusion, not understanding why he had stopped him.

"Goku, these two Saiyans aren't a problem for us at all. But don't you think this would be a great opportunity for Wang Sheng and Gohan to get some experience?" Wang Yang gazed into the distance, as if he could see the forced determination on Wang Sheng's face at the battlefield.

"That makes sense." Goku stroked his chin, looking thoughtful.

He also wanted his son to become an outstanding fighter, and intense battles were the best way to develop someone.

"Ah! Goku, don't joke around. Those two Saiyans are incredibly powerful. How could Gohan and the others possibly be their match?" Hearing Wang Yang, Kami completely lost his composure and jumped up, shouting at them.

"No, no. If we do that, won't everyone be in serious danger?" Goku now thought of the possible consequences, too, and shook his head.

He would never agree to let everyone die just to train his son.

"It's fine. We have the Dragon Balls, after all." Wang Yang waved his hand indifferently.

"What about Chiaotzu and Krillin? They've already died once, and even Shenron can't bring them back again. And Piccolo—if he dies, Kami will disappear with him, so the Dragon Balls will be useless." Goku pressed on.

Kami nodded repeatedly, agreeing.

"Don't worry. Earth isn't the only place with a Shenron. There's one on Kami's home planet, Namek, too, and that one can grant three wishes." Wang Yang smiled.

"Oh, in that case..." Goku relaxed, looking a little tempted.

"So I really am not from Earth!" Hearing Wang Yang's words, Kami was momentarily stunned and muttered to himself. He had long noticed that he was different from Earthlings, and had suspected that he might not be from Earth.

"Goku, what kind of person do you want Gohan to become?" Wang Yang asked.

"Chi-Chi wants Gohan to study hard, and I want him to become an excellent martial artist." Goku stroked his chin and thought it over seriously. "But Chi-Chi will be furious if she finds out I took Gohan to train."

"Goku, it's right to listen to your wife at home, but there's no need to listen when you're out. They can't see you anyway, right?" Wang Yang looked at Goku with a mischievous smile.

He had told Goku this many times, which was why Goku often took Gohan to his place to 'play.'

"Hehe!" A strange smile appeared on Goku's face.

"With two Saiyans showing up this time, it's the perfect chance for them to have a good fight."

Kami, standing nearby, heard that they really weren't planning to step in and immediately panicked. He felt deeply uneasy.

If their own children could defeat the two evil Saiyans, wouldn't that prove what an amazing father he was?

Boom!

Wang Yang tossed out a Hoi-Poi Capsule. As the smoke cleared, a plane appeared on the plaza of Kami's Lookout.

"Get on. Let me show you how well I can fly a plane," Wang Yang said to Goku.

"Sure!"

As he watched the plane grow farther and farther away, Kami remained on tenterhooks, unable to stop the beads of sweat on his forehead from appearing.

"Kami!" Mr. Popo's expression remained almost unchanged.

"Goku, suppress your energy. Don't let them detect us. Otherwise, if they sense us coming, they won't fight as desperately," Wang Yang said to Goku as he pushed the plane to its maximum speed.

"Okay!"

The plane descended vertically and soon hovered at Korin's level.

"Hello, Korin!" Goku cheerfully greeted him.

"Korin, do you have any Senzu Beans left? Give me a jar!" Wang Yang leaned out and smiled at the white cat.

"You again! Do you think Senzu Beans are that easy to grow? I've worked hard to grow them all these years, and you've taken every last one. I don't have a single bean left. Oh, Yajirobe has three hidden on him. Go ask him for some." The moment Korin saw Wang Yang, he got a headache. Almost all the Senzu Beans he'd painstakingly grown over the years had ended up in Wang Yang's pocket; even Yajirobe had to hide his away.

Wang Yang chuckled. If he didn't take them, they'd just end up in that fat Yajirobe's stomach anyway. He felt perfectly justified taking them.

"Goku, seeing you here means I don't have to worry about those two Saiyans anymore." Seeing Goku aboard the plane, Korin smiled.

"Has everyone who isn't afraid to die arrived?" The short Vegeta stood atop a massive boulder, looking down at the group below with a cold smile.

"Where's Kakarot? Why isn't he here? Is he hiding because he's scared?" Vegeta laughed loudly, his smile utterly arrogant.

"You mean Goku? He's still training with King Kai. He hasn't come back yet." As Krillin said it, he couldn't help complaining to himself. Earth was about to be destroyed by these evil guys, so why were you still training?

"Hmph!"

Vegeta snorted.

"Hey! What have you two come to Earth for? Are you here to avenge your companion?" Piccolo asked, his expression grave.

"Raditz was a useless weakling. Why would I avenge him?" Vegeta scoffed. His battle power couldn't even compare to a Saibaman's. He was a disgrace to the Saiyans.

"You two brats, I'll give you a chance. If you get your fathers to surrender to me and kill all the humans on Earth, I'll spare your lives." Vegeta folded his arms and looked haughtily at Wang Sheng and Gohan.
