Sun Wukong Gets Married

"Now that I've learned Piccolo's transformation magic, what kind of martial arts uniform should I make for myself?" The preliminaries were so boring that Sun Wumian's mind had already wandered off.

"I've got it. I'll make one like the uniform Mr. Whis gave Goku. That'll look impressive."

As the matches continued, Goku, Krillin, Tien Shinhan, and Yamcha all won easily and advanced to the quarterfinals.

The final spot in the top eight was now being contested by the Masked Man and Mr. Shen.

"Now this is interesting." Sun Wumian came back to himself. He knew who the Masked Man was: Yajirobe. The important thing was, this Mr. Shen wasn't Kami.

Kami knew that with Sun Wumian around, Demon Junior Piccolo couldn't possibly cause any trouble, so there was no need for him to come down and enter the tournament.

And so, Yajirobe won easily and advanced to the quarterfinals. This was incredible—he even had a chance to go further.

"Will the eight fighters who qualified for the finals please gather to draw lots and determine their opponents?" The dedicated announcer, still dressed in black and wearing sunglasses, called out.

"Huh? Aren't you the Yajirobe who was at Korin Tower before?" After advancing, Yajirobe stopped hiding his identity and took off his mask. Goku recognized him right away.

The draw soon ended, and the quarterfinal matchups were announced: Mercenary Tao vs. Tien Shinhan, Anonymous Fighter (Chi-Chi) vs. Sun Wukong, Piccolo vs. Krillin, and Yajirobe vs. Yamcha.

The finals would begin after half an hour's rest.

"Mercenary Tao? Wasn't he killed by Goku?" Master Roshi asked as everyone gathered at the side of the ring.

"He's still alive, and they turned him into a half-man, half-robot. Tien Shinhan has to face him in the first match..." Krillin said worriedly.

"Hmm... That fellow's a handful. He must know Tien Shinhan's moves..." Master Roshi said, his expression grave.

"Don't worry. That guy's definitely no match for Tien Shinhan," Sun Wumian said casually.

"Big Brother Wumian is right. I think so too." Goku nodded in agreement.

"I can't just let that remark go unanswered." Everyone turned to look. Master Shen had walked over.

"Heh heh, you bunch of fools. Here's some advice: run while you still can, before you're all wiped out. Mechanized Mercenary Tao is stronger than you can imagine..." Master Shen cackled, rambling on and boasting.

"Shut up." Sun Wumian strode over and kicked him. Master Shen went flying thousands of miles away and disappeared from sight.

"Well done, Wumian! That annoying old man deserved to be put in his place." Bulma clapped and cheered.

"Mercenary Tao isn't the strongest one here," Goku suddenly said, with no explanation.

Tank Yasuo appeared out of nowhere. "That's right. I'm the strongest one here—Yajirobe!"

"The matches are about to begin. Will all the fighters please gather!" The announcer's voice rang throughout the arena.

"It's starting. Go on—I want to see the results of your training. Just don't push yourselves too hard..." Master Roshi said to Goku and the others.

"Good luck, everyone!" Bulma cheered them on.

"Yamcha, win the championship!" Puar shouted.

Sun Wumian merely smiled. He knew how it would all turn out, so there wasn't much to say.

Then Bulma found a way to turn Launch into her blonde, berserk self.

Bam! Bam...

They blasted a path through the crowd and secured seats in the front row.

"Tien Shinhan, good luck! Don't lose!" It was obvious that Launch had a soft spot for Tien Shinhan.

Meanwhile, Tien Shinhan and Mercenary Tao had already entered the ring.

"Traitor, prepare yourself! I'll leave you half dead, then, once I've won the championship, I'll deal with both you and Sun Wukong." Mercenary Tao wasted no time threatening him.

But threats alone wouldn't help him. Tien Shinhan's battle power was over 260, while Mercenary Tao's was only 150.

Tien Shinhan knocked his opponent down in just a few moves. Even when Mercenary Tao openly broke the tournament rules and used a weapon, it did him no good.

The first match ended just like that.

"Next is the second match. In one corner, we have Sun Wukong, who narrowly missed winning the last tournament. In the other, we have an anonymous female fighter who, for certain reasons, has chosen not to reveal her real name." The announcer's voice rang out again.

"Sun Wukong. Hmph!"

"What's wrong? You seem angry..." In the ring, Sun Wukong looked at his opponent, completely puzzled.

"Why don't you ask your own conscience?"

"Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?" Goku still didn't understand.

In the stands.

Bulma: "Do those two know each other?"

Oolong: "Seems like they've got some kind of grudge..."

Master Roshi: "What a lovely girl!"

Back in the ring, Goku and Chi-Chi had begun fighting.

Shh! Whoosh! Smack!

Goku had no idea what was going on. He just took the beating without fighting back at all.

"Hey! Have I met you before?" Goku asked as he blocked her attacks.

"Of course you have!"

"Really? When?"

"I'm furious! You've completely forgotten, even though I've been waiting all this time!"

"Waiting for what?"

"Sun Wukong, have you forgotten our promise?" Chi-Chi asked, continuing to attack him with her hands and feet.

"Whaaat? A promise? Did we make one?" Goku cried, hurriedly defending himself.

"What's going on? That girl's pretty strong, and her moves look a lot like my Turtle School's techniques." At ringside, Master Roshi grew more and more puzzled. He hadn't recognized her either.

Tap!

"What promise did I make to you?" Goku landed in the ring and pressed her for an answer.

"That you'd marry me!"

"Huh??" The moment she said it, Master Roshi, Bulma, and the others gaped in astonishment! Sun Wumian, of course, remained perfectly calm.

"Uh... a bride?" Krillin and Yamcha were equally dumbfounded backstage.

"..." Goku was speechless. He turned around and asked, "Krillin, tell me, what's a bride?"

Chi-Chi was thunderstruck...

"Idiot! Marrying her means getting married! You brat, when did you make a promise to such a cute girl? That's so unfair!" Krillin scolded him.

"It means the two of you will live together forever," Yamcha added.

Goku, you really should thank me this time. I always knew this day would come, so I never told you anything about this sort of thing. Sun Wumian kept the thought to himself, smiling in silence.

Goku was surprised too. He turned to Chi-Chi. "Live together? Did I really promise you that? Who are you, anyway? Could you tell me?"

"Hmph. I'll tell you after you beat me." Chi-Chi assumed a fighting stance.

"That's all? Great!"

"Hmph! You think you're sure to win? I'm not that easy to beat!"

"I'm going to attack! Watch out!" Goku warned her.

Pfft! Bang!

Goku threw a powerful punch from where he stood, and the shock wave sent Chi-Chi flying out of the ring.

"How strange. That move is very similar to my Demon Clan's techniques." Piccolo stood on a rooftop, talking to himself. Of course they were similar; Goku had trained at the Lookout for a long time.

"Uh-oh, did I hit you too hard? Are you all right?"

"Ow... I didn't expect you to get this strong. You really are worthy of being my husband." Chi-Chi struggled to her feet, rubbing her head. "Actually, I'm Ox-King's daughter, Chi-Chi."

At last, everyone understood.

"Ah! I remember now! I really did say I'd take a bride."

As Goku spoke, he thought, I thought a bride was something tasty to eat... Oh well, I have to keep my promise.

"Then let's get married!" Goku walked up to Chi-Chi and said solemnly.
