Dragon Ball: Saga Of The Strongest Human 88 23Rd Wma Part 1

It was the age 756 and the exact day was May 7. It was a rainy day and It was about time for the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament.

When Darc got out of the cab together with his son he looked at the ma.s.sive construction that was in front of himself.

"Say, did this temple get bigger or is my memory getting worse?", he asked Bulma while he lends both her and Arkis a hand to get out of the car.

"I don't remember it being this big either." dittoed Oolong. This guy also came along on the ride.

Bulma quickly was out thanks to the help and unfolded her umbrella. "Right, I forgot to tell you that I invested somewhat in this temple. I had a little bit of guilt after Goku smashed so much of it when he transformed. And since I am visiting this event nearly every time because of you and our friends I thought why not make it a little bit more comfortable like a real stadium.", she answered him.

´So that is why the temple could reconstruct itself so fast after Piccolo and Goku smashed it. Girl you really are something. Though this time it looks like she invested a h.e.l.l of a lot more money in this. This place looks even bigger than the one from the Buu saga.´, thought Darc to himself after checking out the place again.

Then he took the umbrella while Bulma paid for the ride. At that point, Arkis was also out and looked at the compound. "Bulma, don't you think you overdid the investment? It's only a Martial Arts Tournament.", asked Darc her.

"Not really. We made a contract that 25% of the ad revenue for this goes back to us and that we become one of the main sponsors for this tournament. It is a very good investment. Just look at the number of people that are visiting.", she said back and clung to his free arm. "Today we are also going to see the others. I am kinda excited about how everyone has been doing."

Darc looked at her and smiled. "Yeah, they probably did very well. I can already feel their presences in this crowd."

"Got to be nice to feel ki. I for one can't see anything.", said Oolong.

Bulma looked around and then took out a scouter from her pockets. It was one with the old version that went on one eye. But it was much more fas.h.i.+onable. "Hmm, let me see. First I input that everything below 100 won't be shown. Oh, you are right. There are a lot of signatures that exceed that amount. 923,898,853,827,806,671. Those numbers are probably our guys. Who do you think is the strongest signature?", she asked after reading the strongest responses from her scouter.

"Hmm, I think Goku should be either the first or the second. From there its probably Tien, Krillin, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu. But I can be wrong. There are other strong signatures as well.", he answered.

"You think so? I guessed the same. By the way. Why are you not partic.i.p.ating anymore? I have been wondering about that since the 21st martial arts tournament. You just spectate there as well."

"We would just humiliate the fighters in this tournament because they stand no chance against us.", answered Arkis for Darc and took Trunks from his arm into her own arms to play with him. Trunks smiled and hugged her dearly.

"What she said. Arkis and I are already too strong for this martial arts tournament. Just remember the energy levels that we measured from last time. Besides, I already got that champion t.i.tle when I was 9... or was it 10? Can't remember.", added Darc.

Bulma came to a realization that she actually forgot about that fact. "Right, there was something like that. Wow, comparing them now with you is really..." then she smiled. "Well, looks like my lover is the strongest there is."

"That you guys would get a kid. Really, I was just gone for a while to get some of my own things done and this happens.", mentioned Oolong after hearing what Bulma said and looking at Arkis and Trunks. He returned a few months back after he left to go to his mansion to clear things out.

After all, he couldn't just ignore that place forever. And when he returned some small baby attacked him out of the blue. Trunks seemed to think Oolong was some kind of plush. Darc only chuckled when he remembered that scene and didn't comment on it.

"From the looks of it, there are also going to be a lot of partic.i.p.ants in this tournament. Alright, let's go and wait at the place where the fighters register themselves. It's the best place to meet the others.", said Darc to the three.

----

Later when they walked over from the parking lot to the entrance and waited near the registering table it didn't take long for the old pervert Ros.h.i.+ to appear.

"Ohoho! Look at this fine a.s.s! Bulma and Arkis. You both look as s.e.xy as ever.", said Rohsi after approaching them. And this time before the old guy could even think about touching Bulma her a.s.s Darc hindered him.

"Old man, you should stop with that habit of yours before I get angry.", he told him and warned him. Ros.h.i.+ got a little bit depressed not succeeding. Then Darc looked to Launch and nodded at her. "Long time no see, Launch."

Bulma and Arkis also moved closer to Launch and greeted each other. Then launch noticed the little baby in Arkis her arms. "Oh, how cute. Who is this little guy? Can I hold him?", she asked enamored by the cute little thing.

Bulma nodded. "This here is my little boy, Trunks. Arkis, can you let Launch hold him for a little bit?" Arkis considered and accepted the request. Trunks was very curious about the Lady that he was in the arms now. He grabbed some locks of her blue hair and played with it. Attentively looking at it.

"Hehe, do you like my hair, little guy? It's somewhat darker than your mommy's, right? Ah, wait, that tickles...ah...ah. Achooo!" At that moment she sneezed to the side and everyone got scared for a moment the blond Launch would drop Trunks. But the blond Launch only looked at Trunks and remained silent. "Whose brat is this?", she asked.

Trunks was so amused about this that he started laughing brightly.

"Its mine and Bulmas child. His name is Trunks", answered Darc now.

"Oh, so it's yours. Oh boy, that is a surprise.", said Ros.h.i.+.

Launch looked at Trunks and smiled. "Cute boy. So you guys f.u.c.ked with each other until this guy came out?", she exclaimed.

"Launch, your language...", said Ros.h.i.+

"Oh, right. Sorry, little guy. But does he even understand anything we say?", she asked.

"Its still better not to use such harsh language, Launch.", said Bulma now and scolded her a little while also taking Trunks away from her. It was also somewhat embarra.s.sing to hear her

talk like that.

"h.e.l.lo!", came from the side.

Darc and the others looked at the person that greeted them.

"Hmm, who is this. Do you guys know him?", asked Bulma the others. They shook their heads.

"What are you talking about, Bulma. Hey there, Goku", said Darc after recognizing who it is.

"Wait, that's Goku?", Ros.h.i.+ and the others were surprised.

"Turtle Hermit. I am happy that you are okay. And you guys also look very healthy! Hmm, who is that little guy?", answered Goku back while looking at Trunks without noticing that the others didn't recognize him yet. "Also, Krillin and the others are still not here?"

"They will be here soon. And that's Trunks. He is my kid.", answered Darc.

"It really is Goku! Wow, you changed so much!", said Bulma.

"Huh? Of course, it's me? Is it maybe because of my clothes? Wait, let me take of this turban.", said Goku back and took his Turban off his head and showed his unique hairstyle. The rain also already stopped.

"It's more the fact that you grew so much, Goku.", said Arkis and told him why they don't recognize him.

"Oh, right. You do look like you got smaller.", he said after comparing his height with that of Arkis.

At that moment the others also came.

"Heya, we finally meet again, guys", said the shortest of the people. It was Krillin. The others were Tien, Yamcha, Chaiotzu, and Puar.

"How are you doing, master?", asked Tien at Ros.h.i.+.

The group once again remained silent. "What's wrong with you guys? So much surprise makes you go into stone or something? Its because we changed this much, right?", asked Yamcha and Krillin again.

"Haha, they are actually still shocked by this guy here.", answered Darc and pointed at Goku.

Bulma frowned. "Well, we didn't see him for about 3 years while you still had some contact with them!", she said to him. Darc smiled to that.

"Goku? Where?", asked Krillin back and looked around for a short guy.

"I am here. Its been a really long time. You look healthy Krillin.", said Goku with a smile. "You guys as well."

"What!? You are Goku...?" after realizing this and looking at Goku, Krillin got emotional "I missed you so much Goku! I wanted to thank you for reviving me!" Goku laughed

"That is Goku?", asked Yamcha.

"Seems so...", answered Tien.

At that moment every fighter was announced to get to the preliminaries.

"Oh, looks like our time is up? Turtle Hermit, do you have our outfits?", asked Goku after hearing the announcer.

"No, from this point you are independent fighters. So you don't need to wear my colors.", answered Ros.h.i.+.

"Don't be so stingy, old man. Here, I will help out.", interrupted Darc and materialized some gi sets with blue and orange colors for the five of them.

Tien at first looked a little bit hesitant to take them but still took them for himself and Chiaotzu.

"d.a.m.n, did I waste my money? Next time I just ask Darc directly...", said Krillin with regret since he already had himself a set made. Then they went on to change and do the preliminaries.

Inside the building, after they changed into their gi´s Yamcha noticed that Goku his tail was gone. So Goku explained to them why it was gone and they all agreed with Kami after knowing what happened last time.

They met Piccolo for the first time and only Tien recognized him.

Then a girl in a beautiful blue wushu dress clothing approached Goku and tapped him.

"...Goku.", she said and looked into his eyes.

Goku was in thought and also stared at her. "Ah, I remember. Chi-Chi, was it? You are also taking part in the tournament?", Goku said after being finished thinking.

"What! You are Chi-Chi!?", exclaimed Yamcha after hearing his words.

She nodded after smiling brightly being recognized by him. "So, do you still remember our promise?", she asked.

"Huh? What promise?", wondered Goku.

But that really p.i.s.sed Chi-Ci off and she screamed aloud b.a.s.t.a.r.d at him and stomped away.

"What did you do to make her angry, Goku?", asked Krillin.

"I don't know. She was talking about a promise but I really can't remember ever making a promise with her.", said Goku back.

Yamcha, on the other hand, looked away since he knew what that promise was all about. But he also thought it was better to stay out of this since it was his thing to make it so nonchalantly. But that Chi-Chi would turn out to be such a beautiful woman makes Yamcha a little bit jealous of Goku.
