Dragon Ball: The Strongest Goten Chapter 056

Gine was overjoyed. “Bardock, you’re back!”

Bardock still looked at Goten warily.

“You still haven’t told me who he is.”

Gine casually replied, “He’s just a customer who came to buy meat.”

Goten looked back in surprise. The man wore a Saiyan battle suit, had the same spiky hairstyle, and a red scarf tied around his head. It smelled of blood, as if it had been dyed red. The scar on his face made him look very cold, but only Goten knew that beneath that cold exterior lay a rare gentleness for a Saiyan. He truly looked exactly like Goku.

Bardock was also shocked by Goten’s appearance. Although they had similar faces, he could still tell who was who, but Goten really looked exactly like him! Like a younger version of Bardock.

Gine chuckled, “Right? This kid looks exactly like you and Kakarot! Tell me, is he your son from some woman outside?”

Bardock’s face became awkward. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Gine knew that with Bardock’s cold personality, it was impossible for him to have a woman outside. Bardock preferred fighting over women. If it weren’t for Gine’s outgoing personality, they wouldn’t have gotten together.

“Who are you?” Bardock continued to ask.

“Ah, I’m Turok.”

“Turok? That name sounds a bit like our family’s style.”

That was true. Kakarot represented carrot, Bardock represented root, Raditz represented radish, and Goten’s name Turok represented white radish—the radish family.

“Let’s go home first…”

Bardock walked up to Gine and whispered a few words, which Goten, of course, overheard.

Gine seemed to remember something and took a leg of some unknown creature from the shop, stuffing it into Goten’s hand.

“This piece of meat is for you. We’re closing up.”

With that, she pushed Goten out and closed the door.

Goten’s appearance might have made Bardock slightly curious, but he wouldn’t take it seriously. Goten didn’t care either; it seemed Bardock was about to tell Gine about Frieza’s plan to destroy the Saiyans.

Goten flew into the sky and began to eavesdrop. This era was great; no one could sense ki, so Goten could hide without being discovered.

Inside the room, a spiky-haired infant rested with closed eyes in a cultivation tank.

“Look, Kakarot is growing very healthily. He really looks exactly like you.”

Bardock looked at Goku with a rare tenderness in his eyes.

Gine noticed Bardock’s unusual behavior. “Is something wrong?”

Bardock said gravely, “I plan to send Kakarot to Earth.”

Gine’s heart trembled. “Why! Kakarot is still so small.”

Bardock told Gine the reason. “Because with Kakarot’s potential, he’ll be exiled sooner or later anyway. The creatures on Earth have very low fighting power, so Kakarot should be able to survive there. And Frieza is going to destroy the Saiyans; he’s afraid of the legendary Super Saiyan.”

“Isn’t that just a legend!?”

“Yes, but it’s enough reason for Frieza to kill us. And during my trip to Planet Meat, the natives there gave me the ability to foresee the future. I don’t know if it’s real, but I saw Frieza destroying Planet Vegeta, and I also saw Kakarot in the future. So we must send him away!”

Gine worried, “Can’t we leave together?”

“No, our fighting power is too high. Frieza’s forces have already arrived, and their scouters will detect us. Tonight, I’ll steal a spaceship, and we’ll leave tonight.”

Goten, listening from outside, was deeply moved. What great fatherly and motherly love!

That night, Bardock and Gine indeed found a secluded spot and set down the stolen spaceship. Looking at Goku inside, their eyes were filled with reluctance.

Bardock placed his hand on the spaceship’s glass. “Kakarot, you must live well.”

Gine wiped tears from her eyes. “Bardock, you really don’t act like a Saiyan, caring about your child.”

Bardock’s face remained cold, but his words were full of warmth.

“I’ve always fought enemies. Maybe it’s just a sudden whim to save someone.”

Gine also pressed her hand against the glass, wanting to see Goku’s face clearly.

“Kakarot, you must survive. If Bardock is wrong, we’ll come to Earth to pick you up. You must survive.”

Goku seemed to sense his parents’ sadness, wanting to touch them, but a pane of glass separated them. This was perhaps the closest distance, yet also the farthest.

Watching his mother’s tears, the spaceship slowly lifted off, gradually moving further and further away. Goku could only cry helplessly inside the ship.

Gine was already sobbing uncontrollably.

Goten’s eyes became sore watching them.

The next day, Frieza indeed arrived! All the Saiyans thought Frieza was just there for reconnaissance, not to destroy them. Only Bardock charged towards Frieza’s army, fighting his way through countless enemies, just to reach Frieza.

Goten felt that his coming was very worthwhile. Although Bardock only had a battle power of 10, 000, he was definitely a true warrior.

Even Frieza couldn’t help but praise this Saiyan.

Gine looked up at the sky, worried about Bardock’s safety. Suddenly, Goten appeared behind her, knocked her out with a single blow, and in the next instant, brought her to the time machine he had placed in space.

“Grandma Gine, you can rest here for a while.”

He then left again.

“Hohohoho~, what a brave warrior, but you’re still going to die.”

Amidst Frieza’s sharp laughter, a Planet Destroyer Ball condensed at his fingertip, which he gently tossed out.

Bardock, already covered in wounds, used his last ounce of strength to throw his final ki blast.

But the ki blast was annihilated before it even reached the outer edge of the Planet Destroyer Ball.

“Kakarot—!”

At the last moment, Bardock had another premonition of the future. In his vision, his son Kakarot defeated Frieza!

Bardock showed a relieved smile. The powerful energy destroyed Bardock’s clothes, and under the impact of the energy, Bardock passed out with a smile on his face; he had faced death directly.

A figure caught Bardock, blocking Frieza’s Planet Destroyer Ball with one hand.

“Grandpa Bardock, a true man.”

It was Goten who saved Bardock, looking at him with nothing but reverence.

Frieza also sensed something was wrong. Why did his Planet Destroyer Ball stop?

But in the next second, the Planet Destroyer Ball crashed into Planet Vegeta at its original speed. Planet Vegeta was gone, turned into cosmic dust.

“Hohoho, I didn’t expect that Saiyan to be quite strong, able to hold it for a second. Saiyans really deserve to die, hohoho.”

By this time, Goten had already taken Bardock and the others and traveled through time again.

He had considered whether to kill Frieza or beat him up in this timeline. But after thinking about it, it would likely only lead to two outcomes:

One, a universe ruled by Saiyans would be created.

Two, after being beaten by Goten, Frieza would strive to become stronger, reaching Golden Frieza earlier, and the Z-Fighters would be no match. A universe ruled by Frieza would be created.

Simply saving Bardock and Gine wouldn’t affect anything, as they would die in this history anyway. Oh, and there was also Bardock, who would travel through time and become the first Super Saiyan.

In one universe, Bardock was that legendary Super Saiyan.

The time machine landed. Age 780. Coordinates: Earth.

Goten got out of the time machine and looked around. The surroundings were dilapidated and deserted, as if it were the end of the world.

“Is this the future timeline? It’s truly devastating.”

Goten sensed the ki around the globe. He was shocked when he did! There were no living people left on Earth! Only one powerful ki! It was… Cell’s ki!

This wasn’t even Future Trunks’ timeline! It was another timeline where Cell had killed all the Earth’s warriors!

Goten sensed again. No! There were two faint ki signatures! Who were they?! It was Gohan-nii and Trunks! They weren’t dead yet!

Lightning Cell looked at the exhausted Gohan and Trunks in front of him.

“Damn you, bastard! You killed Mom!”

“We can definitely defeat you!”

Gohan and the others tried to stand up and fight back, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t.

“This is the final blow. Go and meet Vegeta, Goku, and the others, Son Gohan, Trunks!”

Blue energy gathered in Cell’s hand. This was a Kamehameha!

The two closed their eyes helplessly.

“Die! Ah—!!”

Cell was struck by a massive force and sent flying backward!

The two, facing death, slowly opened their eyes when the attack didn’t come.

A figure in a blue bodysuit and Saiyan battle suit appeared before them.

Seeing the clothes and height, Future Gohan shouted, “Uncle Vegeta!!”

Then he saw Goten’s hairstyle.

“Dad—!!”

Goten turned around awkwardly.

“I say, Nii-san, you’re calling me both ‘uncle’ and ‘dad.’ Aren’t our generations a bit mixed up?”

Future Gohan finally saw Goten’s appearance clearly. Wasn’t he just a younger version of his dad? However, through ki sensing, although he looked very similar, he wasn’t Goku.

Gohan finally became wary. “Who exactly are you? Turles?”

“I don’t care who you are, anyone who ambushes me, Cell, will die!” Cell burst out of the rubble and flew over.

“I’m talking to my Nii-san. Didn’t you see? Don’t you have any sense?”

Goten didn’t even look, raising his hand as if swatting a fly, and slapped Cell in the face! Cell once again flew off like a rocket.

Gohan and Trunks, sitting on the ground, had their eyes wide open! Who was he?! Why was he so strong?!

At this time, Cell had just entered his Lightning Cell form, with a battle power of at most 10 billion. As for Goten, his base battle power alone was 12 billion.

When he first transformed into Super Saiyan 3, he only had 3 billion, but during this Majin Buu incident, Goten (body) was beaten the worst.

The first time he was beaten to near death by Broly, his base battle power increased significantly. The second time he was brutally beaten to near death by Janemba, it increased again, and finally, he broke through to Super Saiyan 4, with his strength skyrocketing. Perhaps he broke through his physical limits.

Goten greeted Gohan and Trunks with a smile, not at all looking like a warrior who could defeat Cell. He seemed even younger than Trunks!

“Hello, Gohan Nii-san, Trunks. Let me reintroduce myself. You might not know me, but my name is Son… Go… ten.”
