Dragon Ball: Reborn as a Saiyan, They Covet Me

Jackie Chun pointed toward the ruins, where a bare body lay, a furry tail still sprouting from behind.

"Goku!"

"Goku is still alive!"

The expressions of Chi-Chi and Krillin immediately brightened.

Jackie Chun explained at once, "It wasn't Little Goku that I destroyed with my energy wave, but the moon!"

"The moon?"

The crowd was stunned, turning their gazes toward the sky.

The bright moon that had hung high just moments ago was suddenly gone.

"The moon, the moon is really gone!"

Jackie Chun explained, "This way, Little Goku won't transform into a Great Ape because of the moon. Though, this is truly absurd. The full moon viewing can't go on, and we'll have to cancel the mooncakes."

The announcer stared at the sky, dazed, "This is truly terrifying; the moon was actually blown away by a ki blast! We won't be able to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival anymore."

Just then, Jackie Chun roared, "What are you blathering about? Start the count already!"

The announcer jumped in fright and immediately began counting for Little Goku.

"1, 2, 3, 4..."

He had only reached 8 when Little Goku suddenly stood up.

A light breeze brushed past, and Little Goku shivered.

"Huh, it's chilly. What's going on?"

He looked down and saw that he was completely naked.

He raised his head and scanned his surroundings.

He saw that besides Chi-Chi, Krillin, and Bulma, countless strangers were staring right at him.

Little Goku was startled and immediately covered his privates with both hands.

Jackie Chun complained with a look of grievance, "See? If you had counted faster, he wouldn't have been able to stand up at all, and the championship would have been mine!"

Seeing Little Goku in his birthday suit, a sly look appeared on Bulma's face.

"It's been so long since I've seen Little Goku bare-bottomed; it brings back memories!"

Chi-Chi and Krillin both breathed a sigh of relief.

Krillin: "That's great, Goku is still alive!"

Chi-Chi: "As long as he's alive, that's enough. The moon or whatever else doesn't really matter."

Suddenly, Chi-Chi turned to look at Krillin.

Krillin was taken aback: "Why are you looking at me?"

"You are wearing underwear, right?"

Krillin was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Chi-Chi said, "We can't let Goku fight that old man while naked, can we? You two wear the same size clothes and shoes; why don't you go up there and give him your outer clothes and shoes?"

Krillin had originally wanted to go himself.

But after Chi-Chi's reminder, he felt a bit sour and suddenly didn't want to go anymore.

Just then, the referee announced, "Wait a moment, please allow me to pause the match. I apologize, contestant Son Goku, please hurry and put on some clothes before continuing the fight. Our World Martial Arts Tournament is a serious competition."

Son Goku felt the presence of his tail and also realized that the moon was gone from the sky.

He understood now that he had lost control and transformed earlier.

Master Roshi had destroyed the moon, which was why he had turned back.

Just then, Krillin walked onto the ring.

"Goku, I'll lend you my clothes to wear!"

Son Goku shook his head: "Forget it, there's no need to change. You saw the power of that energy wave just now; he's far stronger than me. I'll just concede."

Krillin said, "Then you have to change too. It's so inappropriate for so many people to see you without clothes! Besides, Chi-Chi is still staring at you! Don't worry about me, I'm wearing underwear!"

Son Goku hurriedly glanced at Chi-Chi.

He saw her covering her flushed cheeks with both hands, yet she was still peeking at him through the gaps in her fingers.

Son Goku was startled and immediately covered his crotch, saying, "Krillin, give it to me quickly!"

After he spoke, Krillin took off his outer garment and handed it to Goku.

Goku hurriedly put on Krillin's clothes.

Then, he walked toward the ring.

"Announcer, I forfeit!"

The announcer was stunned for a moment.

"The old man is low on stamina; won't you try to fight for it a bit longer?"

Son Goku shook his head. "If the old man aimed his energy blast at me, I'd be a goner. So, I think I should take the initiative to forfeit!"

Jackie Chun immediately gave Goku a thumbs up.

"Young man, your martial virtue is excellent. I give you a thumbs up! From this alone, I can tell that your teacher must be a respectable martial artist!"

Son Goku: "..."

He even praised himself in one go. My teacher really is thick-skinned!

Seeing that Goku had forfeited, the referee immediately shouted into the microphone, "Congratulations! In this martial arts tournament, contestant Jackie Chun has won the championship!"

"This match was truly spectacular. To see such a brilliant battle scene at the World Martial Arts Tournament! Please, audience, give our champion Jackie Chun and runner-up Son Goku a round of warm applause. Their performances were both outstanding!"

As soon as the announcer finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from the audience, continuous and unending...

"Thank you all for your hard work. Please exit the venue in an orderly fashion. We will see you at the next tournament!"

After receiving the prize money of 500,000, Jackie Chun hurried off to change his clothes.

Goku walked off the ring, and Krillin and Chi-Chi immediately rushed over to give him a friendly hug.

Bulma also walked over, watching the three children jumping and celebrating with each other, a maternal smile inadvertently appearing on her face.

The group celebrated for a long time before realizing that Master Roshi was nowhere to be found.

Krillin couldn't help but feel a bit regretful. "So, Master didn't watch the match?"

Just then, Master Roshi's figure arrived fashionably late. He was wearing a suit, a hat, and sunglasses.

"Hey, I'm here!"

Chi-Chi looked at Master Roshi with excitement and said, "Master Roshi, did you not watch the match just now?"

Master Roshi immediately explained, "Of course I watched it. I held it in for so long just to watch the match! As soon as Goku and that impressive old man finished fighting, I rushed to the bathroom."

Krillin and Chi-Chi both had a sudden realization.

"So that's how it was!"

"Does that mean you watched all of our matches?"

Master Roshi nodded. "Of course! All three of you performed excellently!"

Chi-Chi said with some disappointment, "It's just a pity that Goku still lost!"

Son Goku said, "It's not a pity at all. My strength isn't as good as his; it's normal to lose."

Master Roshi laughed heartily. "Exactly, it's normal to lose. There is always someone better, and there are always people more powerful in the world! Even though you have already shone brightly at this tournament, you still cannot be satisfied with your current achievements. The path of martial arts is destined to be uneven; the real training is yet to come!"

Chi-Chi, Goku, and Krillin all nodded in succession.

"Understood!"

Master Roshi breathed a sigh of relief to himself.

He had sacrificed so much just to make this principle clear.

Master Roshi patted the five hundred thousand in prize money in his pocket and laughed heartily, "Alright, to reward the three of you for your outstanding performance, I'm taking you out to a restaurant today for a good, hearty meal!"

"That's great!"

"We're going out to eat!"

Bulma watched Master Roshi's retreating back and muttered to herself, "Isn't it this very meal where Goku eats over four hundred thousand worth of food, spending all the prize money? Still, that's fine; it keeps him from having money to go out and mess around!"

Fortunately, although Goku had a massive appetite, he only ate about the amount of a dozen people this time, so it didn't cost too much.

Bulma thought to herself that it was probably because the battle hadn't consumed the vast majority of his stamina.

Krillin looked toward Master Roshi and asked, "Master Roshi, after we go back, do we still need to increase our weights and continue delivering milk and farming for training? Are you going to teach us some skills?"

Master Roshi shook his head, "No, no, no. I have nothing left that I can teach you. From today on, it is better for us to go our separate ways; it is time for you to go out and venture into the world."

Krillin: "Ah, is that so?"
