Roger vs. Pikkon

"But... he looks like he's only five or six years old. Can he really be Pikkon's opponent?"

Grand Kai asked North Kai.

He really wanted to watch the match, but if the gap in strength between the two sides was too great, there would be little to see.

"Grand Kai, don't underestimate Roger. Although he's young, he has already mastered Super Saiyan!"

"Super Saiyan?"

"That's right. Super Saiyan is a Saiyan transformation. Even the Supreme Kai praises Roger to no end!"

"Is that so? In that case, I'll be their referee!"

West Kai and North Kai nodded.

A short while later, West Kai brought a man with green skin, no nose, square ears, a white martial arts uniform, and a tall black hat to the martial arts arena on Grand Kai's Planet.

This man was Pikkon.

When the other martial artists on Grand Kai's Planet heard that Pikkon was going to fight someone, they all gathered beneath the arena to watch.

"Is that the person who's going to fight Pikkon? But why doesn't he have a halo over his head? Could he not be dead?"

"I don't know, but he looks like a child!"

Since the match had yet to begin, everyone discussed it among themselves.

Just then, a man with a mushroom-cut hairstyle stepped onto the stage.

He was the referee in charge of this match.

Although Grand Kai had said he would referee for them, he was the Grand Kai, after all. With his exalted status, how could he truly act as their referee?

Thus, he was currently seated in the highest position in the stands.

After taking the stage, the referee briefly explained the rules of the match.

The rules were more or less the same as those of Earth's World Martial Arts Tournament.

"Roger, Pikkon, if neither of you has any other questions, shall we begin?"

The two nodded upon hearing this.

Seeing that, the referee immediately jumped off the stage.

West Kai and North Kai both swallowed nervously.

Though they both had faith in their disciples, this match concerned their future reputation, so neither of them wanted to lose.

Roger, you absolutely can't lose!

North Kai clenched his fists tightly and silently said to himself.

Just then, Roger and Pikkon assumed their fighting stances and charged at each other at the same time.

Very quickly, they reached one another. Their fists flew like the wind as they exchanged blows.

The ground around them immediately began to shake violently.

Since Roger still had the body of a child, he fought Pikkon while hovering in midair.

"Whoosh..."

Bang bang bang!!

After trading blows for a while, Pikkon sped up his hands and continuously forced Roger backward.

"Roger!"

Seeing this, North Kai anxiously shouted toward the stage.

West Kai, standing nearby, immediately laughed.

"Yah!"

Just then, Pikkon threw a right roundhouse kick at Roger.

Roger was startled and quickly used the Power of Time, slowing Pikkon's incoming right leg as he retreated backward.

"Whoosh..."

Pikkon's right kick missed.

"What!"

Everyone looked toward the stage in shock.

They could not understand how Roger had avoided that kick.

What just happened? Was that some kind of psychic power?

Pikkon looked at Roger and silently pondered.

Just then, Roger clenched both fists, and an incomparably astonishing aura burst from his body, rapidly rising.

"Ah!!"

With a tremendous roar, Roger's hair and eyebrows turned golden. His hair, apart from his bangs, stood upright, his pupils became light green, and a golden aura flared around his body.

This was the Super Saiyan.

Everyone was shocked by Roger's transformation, including West Kai.

"Th... what is this?"

West Kai asked North Kai.

North Kai immediately laughed when he heard that.

"This is the Super Saiyan I told you about before!"

"Super Saiyan!"

"That's right. Roger was only testing Pikkon's strength just now, so he didn't use his true power!"

As North Kai spoke, he immediately felt rather pleased with himself.

"West Kai, don't forget our bet!"

"Damn it!"

West Kai gritted his teeth angrily, suddenly growing extremely tense.

He did not want to have to bow and scrape before North Kai in the future.

"Ha!"

As the two spoke, Roger raised his right hand and shot toward Pikkon like lightning.

Pikkon clenched both fists and charged forward to meet him.

The two quickly arrived before each other, their fists and kicks flashing like lightning as they struck with tremendous force.

As they fought, their hands and feet continuously unleashed astonishing gusts of wind that spread in all directions.

Bang!!

With a heavy kick, Roger swept his right leg out and sent Pikkon flying onto the ground to the left of the arena.

"Pikkon!"

Seeing this, West Kai immediately grew worried about Pikkon.

The referee standing below the stage immediately ran over and began the count.

"Contestant Pikkon is down. Beginning the count now: 10, 9, 8..."

Before the referee could count to seven, Pikkon rose from the arena floor.

"Pikkon!"

Seeing Pikkon get back to his feet, West Kai immediately revealed a faint smile.

"Contestant Pikkon is back on his feet, so the match will now continue!"

After hearing this, Pikkon rolled his neck, then removed the weighted hat, robe, and belt from his body and threw them onto the ground.

The moment those three weighted items landed on the arena floor, they produced a heavy thud.

Everyone was immediately stunned.

"Weighted gear!"

North Kai's expression suddenly turned somewhat grave.

Seeing the solemn look on North Kai's face, West Kai immediately laughed.

"That's right. Our Pikkon has been fighting him while wearing weighted gear all this time, so he hasn't used his true strength either!"

As West Kai spoke, he felt rather smug.

"North Kai, don't forget the bet between us!"

"Damn it!"

North Kai immediately gritted his teeth angrily.

"West Kai, don't get cocky. They haven't decided the winner yet!"

West Kai immediately glared at North Kai.

North Kai glared right back at him.

As the two bickered, Pikkon, having already removed his weighted gear, gave Roger a solemn look before charging at him like lightning.

Roger clenched both fists and charged toward Pikkon as well.

The two quickly reached each other and began fighting fiercely.
