Banquet

Three days later!

Inside the God of Destruction's castle!

"A banquet!"

"You mean a spread of all kinds of delicious food, right?"

"How wonderful!"

Whis was speaking with Bulma!

The moment Beerus, who had been training Ultra Instinct in the next room, heard the word "delicious food," he immediately rushed over!

Grabbing Whis's Angel Staff, he said, "Of course we're going!"

Bulma's voice came through. "Please have the two of you come with Lord Ōten before noon tomorrow!"

"Oh, and don't forget to bring Gohan back. Chi-Chi has been talking about him for ages!"

"All right, see you tomorrow!"

After ending the call, Beerus went back to training!

Whis covered his mouth and laughed!

"Lord Beerus has been getting more and more diligent lately!"

"I'm still not quite used to it!"

Whis then reported the news to Ōten!

Ōten gave it some thought!

"I don't think I ever told Chi-Chi that Gohan has been following me!"

"Then I'll take this opportunity to tell her!"

Earth!

Bulma's banquet venue!

The tables were already laden with delicious food!

Bulma was still continuously welcoming the arriving guests!

Chi-Chi, Goten, and Trunks sat at the table, waiting for everyone else to arrive!

"I wonder when Gohan will come back?"

"He left without saying a word, that child!"

Chi-Chi muttered!

Bulma walked over and asked, "Chi-Chi, has Son Goku not arrived yet?"

Chi-Chi replied helplessly, "He went to the fields and hasn't come back since!"

"Just wait. Maybe he'll suddenly show up!"

Bulma smiled. "I see!"

"Then let's get started first!"

Vegeta said with a serious expression, "We'll talk after Ōten and Beerus arrive!"

"Don't forget, they could destroy Earth with a single word!"

"Try not to make them unhappy!"

Tien Shinhan chimed in, "It'll be trouble if they lose their tempers!"

Bulma glanced at Vegeta!

"All right!"

Meanwhile, Majin Buu was stuffing himself with food and drink, paying no attention to anyone else!

Just then, a flash of light appeared in the sky!

Vegeta froze. "Looks like they're here!"

After the light vanished!

Four people appeared at the banquet venue!

Ōten said, "Hello, everyone!"

"We meet again!"

Whis covered his mouth and chuckled. "Ho ho ho, sorry to have kept everyone waiting!"

Gohan smiled and greeted everyone!

Beerus looked around. "Son Goku doesn't seem to be here yet?"

Just then, Son Goku appeared behind him!

"Hi, Lord Beerus!"

Beerus jumped in surprise!

"Hey, don't just suddenly appear like that!"

"You'll scare old people to death!"

The moment Goku saw Ōten, he immediately rushed over!

"Lord Ōten, you came too!"

"I feel like I've improved a little recently. Want to spar?"

Faced with battle-crazed Goku, Ōten let out a breath and shook his head!

"Dad, why are you dressed like that?"

Gohan muttered!

Goku looked down and realized he was still wearing the clothes he had worked in at the fields, covered in mud!

Chi-Chi immediately rushed over. "Goku, how could you come without changing your clothes!"

"That's far too rude!"

"Go back and change right now!"

Goku looked flustered. "Okay, I'll go right away!"

He hurriedly left the banquet!

Then Chi-Chi spotted Gohan beside Ōten!

"Gohan, where have you run off to? You haven't sent any news for so many days!"

Gohan looked completely flustered!

"Um... Mom... you... listen to me..."

But Chi-Chi gave Gohan no chance at all. She walked over and grabbed him, intending to take him away!

"Gohan, you're already a family man!"

"You're not allowed to run around like this anymore. Don't learn from that father of yours!"

Just then, Ōten spoke. "Well, I would like to teach your son martial arts. Let him cultivate with me!"

"What?"

"No, I absolutely refuse!"

Chi-Chi rejected him outright like a ferocious tigress!

Beerus coughed twice!

"Um, please speak more politely to Lord Ōten!"

"And you'd better consider what he said!"

At that, Chi-Chi shouted!

"Say no more! No means no!"

"No matter what you say, I won't agree!"

Ōten: "..."

Beerus: "..."

The next second, Beerus's expression turned cold!

Seeing Beerus's changing expression, Bulma immediately recalled what had happened at her birthday party!

So she pulled Chi-Chi aside and began persuading her!

Ōten slowly said, "At the martial arts tournament Lord Zeno will hold later, all sorts of powerful fighters will appear!"

"If Universe 7 loses in the tournament, it's hard to say what will become of Earth!"

"I'm training Gohan so that Earth can survive!"

Only then did Chi-Chi nod, though very reluctantly!

The next second, Goku appeared again!

He had changed into his usual martial arts uniform!

"I'm back!"

"Lord Ōten, hurry up and let's spar!"

Beerus immediately grabbed Goku!

"No, you can't do whatever you want!"

"How could Lord Ōten have time to spar with you!"

Goku immediately pressed his palms together. "Please, Lord Beerus!"

"Let me fight Lord Ōten one more time!"

Ever since Ōten had defeated him with Time Reversal, Goku had been unable to let it go. His opponent had defeated him without even transforming into a Super Saiyan!

After returning home, he had studied it intensely, and now he desperately wanted to fight Ōten again!

Hearing this, Ōten stepped forward. "It's not impossible for us to fight, but you're too weak!"

"I'm not interested!"

Upon hearing this, Goku instantly deflated.

Just then, Ōten suddenly said, "You can fuse with Vegeta!"

"Then I'll agree to fight you!"

Goku immediately became excited. "Really?"

Ōten nodded!

Goku immediately ran over to Vegeta!

"Vegeta, let's fuse!"

Vegeta clenched his teeth. "You idiot!"

"Kakarot!"

"Why do you insist on sparring with Ōten?"

"And you even want to fuse with me? Don't even think about it!"

Goku once again pressed his palms together. "Please, Vegeta!"

"Just once!"

Vegeta roared, "Impossible!"

"Don't even think about it!"

Ōten had no intention of paying attention to their argument. Smiling, he said, "Whis, Beerus, let's go have some delicious food!"

At those words, smiles immediately appeared on Whis and Beerus's faces!

"Yes, Lord Ōten!"

While Ōten and the others were enjoying the food, Goku's voice rang out!

"Lord Ōten, Vegeta agreed to fuse with me! We can fight now!"

Ōten was taken aback upon hearing this. He hadn't expected proud Vegeta to agree. After all, in Dragon Ball Z, Vegeta would rather die than fuse with Son Goku; every time, he had only done so as a last resort at the brink of life and death!

Since Vegeta had agreed, Ōten did not stand on ceremony and immediately rose to his feet!

"Then let's do it!"

"Whis, I'll leave Earth's protection to you!"

Vegito walked over with extreme reluctance!

"Kakarot, you bastard!"

"This is the last time! If you dare come bother me again, I won't let you off!"

Goku smiled. "Got it, Vegeta!"

Then the two immediately stood on opposite sides!

Vegeta's face was red, and he was resisting with all his heart!

Damn it, I actually have to perform such an embarrassing move in front of so many people!

Goku urged, "Hurry up, Vegeta!"
