Dragon Ball: The Strongest Goten Chapter 011

Shenron shook his head, “I’m sorry, I can’t do that. It’s beyond my capabilities.”

“Why?”

“Because Kibito’s Instant Transmission was only obtained after he became a servant of the Supreme Kai. The Supreme Kai’s divine rank is higher than mine, so I cannot do it.”

The three Gotens had actually guessed this, but they just wanted to try. Later, they settled for learning the Yardratian Instant Transmission.

The Dragon Balls scattered, and this time, all three of them grabbed a Dragon Ball. The three looked at each other and smiled.

Z: “I’m going to Planet Yardrat. How will you two arrange your training from now on?”

Y: “I’m also preparing to go to King Kai’s Planet. Maybe I’ll even run into our cheap dad, Son Goku, in this life. What about you, X?”

X: “Damn it, both of you are leaving, so Earth will only be left with me!? But it doesn’t matter, I don’t plan on leaving Earth either. Super Saiyan 2 still requires me to accumulate basic combat power for a long time.”

“However, let’s make it clear here, you two shouldn’t just disappear while wandering in the universe. You must come back in three years. At that time, we’ll enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber together to maximize our combat power. By then, Majin Buu’s unsealing won’t be far off…”

Y Goten and Z Goten agreed to his plan.

Just then, all three of their stomachs rumbled simultaneously.

X Goten laughed, “How about we find a place to eat first?”

Y and Z nodded frantically.

In a city with a strong Chinese architectural style, a restaurant was packed with people. It wasn’t that the restaurant’s food was astonishingly delicious; these people were purely there to watch the show.

A round dining table was piled high with food platters. Waiters continuously brought out dishes and cleared plates.

“These triplets eat too much!”

“Exactly! And they’re just kids!”

“They eat so much, yet their stomachs are still so small!”

Passersby were astonished by the trio’s appetite.

The three were none other than the Goten trio. They found a spot far from any Z Fighters to eat, to avoid being recognized. As for these people, they didn’t know them anyway, so it didn’t matter if they saw them.

The three ate frantically, as if they hadn’t eaten in years. Z Goten casually picked up a nearby bun and ate it.

X Goten saw Z Goten eat his bun and immediately slammed the table, standing up.

X: “You bastard! That’s my bun!”

Z and X were the most incompatible. Sure enough, they would live to become the very thing they hated. “I saw you left it there for a long time, I thought you weren’t eating it, so I just helped you eat it.”

X Goten, furious, transformed into a Super Saiyan. “Bastard! I was saving that for last! Alright, if that’s how it is…”

X Goten picked up the roasted duck that Z Goten had ordered and stuffed it into his mouth in one bite! He chewed and chewed, then spat out the entire bone!

Z Goten watched this scene in disbelief. His hair instantly turned gold, and golden ki flared around him. He directly grabbed X Goten’s neck and shook him wildly! “Bastard! That’s my roasted duck! Spit it out!”

Y Goten looked at them, a little incredulous. They turned into Super Saiyans just because their food was snatched? Is it really that easy!? Can it get any more haphazard!?

A beautiful waitress came over.

“Little ones, hello. I’m so sorry, but you’ve eaten all the food in our restaurant. This is your bill.”

Y Goten took the bill and looked at the number on it. 1.5 million! My goodness, each of us ate 500, 000!

Y Goten handed the bill to X Goten, who was still arguing with Z.

X Goten stopped fighting and looked at Y Goten blankly. “Why are you giving it to me?”

Y: “? Didn’t you say we should eat? Pay up.”

X Goten patted his clothes and spread his hands. “Where do you see pockets on this tight suit?”

“What! Then why did you say we should eat? And aren’t you living at Bulma’s house? How can you not have money?”

X Goten glanced at him. “I live at Bulma’s house, I didn’t marry into Bulma’s family, so where would I get money?”

Y Goten looked at Z Goten. “What about you?”

Z Goten pouted and made the same gesture as X Goten.

“How could I possibly have money? Uncle Piccolo and I have always been living rough. I remember you earned a lot of money from Master Roshi.”

Y Goten stared blankly, looking at the two who seemed to have planned this all along. He found them so greedy and ugly.

“You… two… bastards——!”

Soon after, three delinquent-looking teenagers with golden hair walked out of the restaurant, arm in arm. The delinquent in the middle held a card in his hand, muttering incessantly.

“Gone… all the money’s gone… 1.5 million is gone…”

Old friends in various parts of Earth.

Vegeta: “How did Goten become a Super Saiyan? But why are there three Goten’s ki signatures?”

Piccolo: “Has Goten broken through to Super Saiyan?! Even earlier than Gohan! He truly is a disciple taught by me, hahaha.”

Krillin: “Such strong ki! Master Roshi, did you feel it?! It’s Goten’s ki, Goten has become a Super Saiyan! Hahaha, I have a Super Saiyan disciple, hahaha!”

Gohan, who felt absolutely nothing: “There’s a lot of homework today. Goten hasn’t been back in a long time…”

Three years later… Age 774

Goten, dressed in a blue battle suit, arrived at the Lookout.

Dende was very happy to see Goten.

“Goten, you’re here. Is there something you need?”

Goten first politely clasped his hands and bowed. Although he was taught by Vegeta, he was also a Son family member, so he possessed both polite and impolite gestures.

“Dende, I’ve come this time to borrow the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.”

Dende didn’t object and explained the conditions of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to Goten.

“No problem, Goten. However, the air inside is thin, it’s extremely hot, with temperatures ranging between 50 degrees Celsius and minus 40 degrees Celsius, and the gravity is 10 times normal. If your will is weak or your mind isn’t focused, you’re prone to hallucinations. Are you truly ready?”

“Yes, Dende.”

Dende nodded. “Alright then. Oh, and one person can only enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for two days in their lifetime, and only two people can enter at a time. Otherwise, the exit will disappear, and you’ll never be able to come out again.”

Goten asked a curious question: “What if three people enter at once?”

Dende’s expression became serious: “Then they will never be able to come out again.”

Goten understood.

“Dende, what’s about to happen might be a bit surprising, but can you please keep it a secret for me?”

Dende was also bewildered. What could this child Goten do to surprise him?

Goten placed his hand, shaped like a sword finger, on his forehead and said, “Come back…”

Whoosh, whoosh.

Two figures appeared beside Goten. One was wearing a black long-sleeved outer garment over a Turtle School martial arts uniform with a turtle kanji on the back. The other was dressed in Yardratian attire. Miraculously, all three looked exactly alike!

Dende’s mouth hung open. “Th-three Gotens!”

The three Gotens simultaneously greeted Dende and Mr. Popo.

“Dende, Mr. Popo, long time no see.” x 3

X Goten stepped forward and explained, “Please keep this a secret for us, Dende. Earth will face a huge crisis in the future. All three of us are the real Gotens, you can rest assured. What we need now is to quickly increase our strength!” After speaking, the three walked towards the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Dende might still have been a bit stunned, but he could imagine the situation with Future Trunks. At that time, Dende had already been brought to Earth by Goku and had met Future Trunks, though he guessed wrong.

“Wait, if all three of you go in, you’ll never be able to come out again!”

X Goten turned around and smiled, “Don’t worry, we have a way to get out. Oh, and for the next few days, Dende, please put a spiritual barrier around the Lookout so our ki isn’t discovered by others.”

With that, the three entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Thud, the door closed.

Dende’s eyes were filled with worry.

Y Goten, upon entering the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, muttered, “What a harsh environment. Although it’s all ten times gravity, King Kai’s place was much more comfortable, at least the food was good.”

Z Goten: “Why didn’t you choose for only two of us to go in?”

X Goten shook his head. “I calculated it. Even if two of us went in at a time, we could only stay for a maximum of four years by exploiting a bug. But I can’t guarantee breaking through to Super Saiyan 3 within four years, so I decided to take a gamble. All three of us will go in directly, and I’ll break open space and exit the Hyperbolic Time Chamber when I break through to Super Saiyan 3!”

Z Goten: “What’s your current power level?”

X Goten said: “My base combat power is 200 million. Thanks to a hallucination Shenron created for me, I broke through to Super Saiyan 2 a while ago, probably stronger than Gohan brother back then.”

Z Goten: “What hallucination?”

X Goten: “I asked Shenron to temporarily seal my wish memory. I saw Majin Buu eat everyone—Mom, brother, and even Vegeta-sensei. When I transformed into Super Saiyan 2, my memory returned. And I also wished for an interesting skill from Shenron.”

“Tell me about yourselves.”

Y Goten: “When I went to King Kai’s Planet via Snake Way, I happened to run into Princess Snake, the same one Dad encountered back then, and she tricked me into Hell…”

X Goten and Z Goten: Tricked? I think it was a seduction… (ーー゛)

As he spoke, Y Goten threw a bag to Z Goten. Opening it, Z Goten saw a bag full of golden apples.

Y Goten: “Although I was tricked into Hell, Dad has connections in Hell, so I successfully returned to Snake Way. On the way, I also brought some local specialties. These are the Golden Fruits that King Yemma eats; they help improve the soul. Since you train your spirit, they should be quite helpful to you.”

Z Goten thanked him. Being one person, this thanks seemed a bit redundant.

Y Goten continued, “By the time I reached King Kai’s Planet, Dad had already finished the Other World Tournament and gone to Grand Kai’s Planet for training, so I didn’t run into him. However, I also learned the Kaioken and Spirit Bomb on King Kai’s Planet, so it wasn’t a wasted trip.”

“I’ve just broken through to a base combat power of 100 million and am currently at Super Saiyan Full Power, just a step away from Super Saiyan 2.”

Z Goten agreed: “Me too, but I’ve already learned most of the Yardratians’ amazing techniques, including the skill to quickly defuse fusions.”

X Goten clapped his hands. “Excellent. Majin Buu’s unsealing is imminent, and we don’t have much time. Once we break through to Super Saiyan 3, we’ll go out and search for Broly’s whereabouts to give you a complete transformation!”
