"That's what they say, but since no one has experienced it firsthand, no one really knows!"
At this point, Son Goku glanced at Kast, then looked at Trunks and said.
"Although we don't know for sure, Trunks does! That's why Kast just suggested that I spar with him! That way, he can experience the difference in strength between us and those androids!"
As Son Goku uttered these words, everyone's gaze involuntarily turned to the two of them.
Trunks glanced at Kast.
Previously, Kast had only stated that their strength was greater than that of the androids in his own timeline.
However, no specific reason was given.
Upon hearing Son Goku's explanation, he suddenly realized what was happening.
However, Trunks had another question: if he didn't know about this before, how did Son Goku, who was with him, understand Kast's intentions?
Seeing Trunks's puzzled expression, Son Goku immediately understood his confusion and explained to everyone.
"In fact, I was also puzzled at first as to why Kast insisted that I fight Trunks, but after hearing Kast's explanation and my reasons, I understood."
After listening to Son Goku's explanation, Trunks understood that it was Kast who had explained it to Son Goku in private.
But when?! How come he didn't notice?!
It's actually quite normal that Trunks didn't notice, because Kast spoke to Son Goku telepathically, and it's no surprise that Trunks didn't realize it.
Although it's unclear when Kast and Son Goku had their secret conversation, Trunks' current focus is no longer on that.
Looking at Son Goku and Kast, Trunks suddenly spoke up and asked a question.
"Wait, so this is your purpose in challenging me? Why don't you explain it to me in detail?"
Indeed, if Kast only needed to learn about the strength of the androids in Trunks' timeline from him, he could have simply stated it directly. Why did he beat around the bush and not explain the reasons in detail?
He insisted that he fight Son Goku once, and told Son Goku not to hold back.
Trunks racked his brains but still couldn't understand why Kast had done this.
To Trunks's question, Kast smiled slightly and then said...
You'll find out the reason soon enough.
Seeing Trunks ' confusion, Kast didn't tell him the reason directly. Instead, he addressed the crowd.
"Alright everyone, now that you're all here, and know the background of this young man, as well as what might happen in the future, just in case, and to understand the enemy's strength, let's have Son Goku and Trunks have a match so you can all get a feel for it."
As he spoke, Kast glanced at Son Goku, and in response to Kast's gaze, Son Goku nodded slightly to indicate that he was ready.
Then Kast continued, addressing Trunks.
"So, Trunks, are you ready?"
"..."
When Kast questioned him, Trunks didn't learn the reason behind his actions, but now that he knew the reason for the contest was to understand his opponent, he had no reason to refuse.
Although, deep down, I felt somewhat displeased with what Kast had just done.
However, Trunks was sensible and knew better.
"Ready, anytime."
"Very good!"
Upon hearing this, Kast nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to make a move, Bulma suddenly walked over and called out to him, saying...
"Wait, Kast, are you really going to let Son Goku fight him!?"
Perhaps others don't know, especially Trunks from the future, who had no idea how powerful Son Goku was at this moment.
Having trained with Kast for a long time, he was able to transform into Super Saiyan back then!
And after understanding his own weaknesses back then, he tried his best to improve his shortcomings!
And with the help of a gravity chamber!
The Son Goku of today is vastly different from the one of yesteryear!
Even Bulma, who doesn't know martial arts, could see that difference!
So even knowing that Kast told Son Goku not to hold back and to fight Trunks, Goku still went ahead despite knowing that Kast meant no harm.
She couldn't help but start to worry.
After all, Trunks can be considered Bulma's own child...
