"No way! Goku, you guys are entering too?"
That day, Krillin's voice rang out at the registration venue for the New World Martial Arts Tournament.
Hearing him, Son Goku turned around. He had been about to register with Goten and Gohan.
"Krillin? Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu! Long time no see! Are you here to compete?"
The people who had appeared before Son Goku and his family were his old friends.
Unlike the excited Son Goku, however, Krillin and the others wore bitter expressions. "Goku, are you entering too? Didn't you and Vegeta just compete in the Saiyans' World Martial Arts Tournament?"
About a month earlier, Krillin and the others had gone to watch the World Martial Arts Tournament on Planet Vegeta.
The level of that tournament had far exceeded anything they could imagine.
And the final had come down to Son Goku and Vegeta.
In the final, the two had transformed into Super Saiyan 3 and fought a fierce battle. In the end, Son Goku had won the championship by a narrow margin.
That was why Krillin felt both puzzled and hopeless.
He was puzzled because they had only just competed on Planet Vegeta. Why were they entering another tournament on Earth?
And he felt hopeless because, if Son Goku and Vegeta entered, those two were bound to take first and second place again, leaving the prize money out of his reach.
Fortunately, Son Goku said, "Of course not. Goten's the one entering this time. I'm sitting this one out."
"Goten?"
Everyone turned to Son Goten, who looked just like Son Goku had as a child.
"Yeah. Doesn't this tournament have a children's division? He's entering, and so is Vegeta's son, Trunks. Big Brother Lin Chen's two kids are entering too. They're going to have a proper showdown."
Hearing that,
