Dragon Ball: Super Goten

Chapter 19 Participation: The World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament!

A few days after the battle with Moz ended, Goten was bored and decided to wander around looking for work, such as dealing with some itchy thugs or having a chance to save the world.

While riding his somersault cloud, aimlessly wandering around in the sky, Goten's stomach suddenly growled, so he decided to go to the city in front of him to buy something to tide him over.

When Goten arrived at the store, he saw that even the cheapest bread was priced beyond his allowance. He sighed, "Ugh, even a hero can be brought down by a penny! Damn it, my allowance is so little! I envy Trunks so much; he has a whole room full of toys. I'm so mad, I can't even afford bread..."

Just as Wutian was worrying, a girl with pigtails, wearing a white t-shirt and shorts gently asked him, "Little friend, are you hungry? You've been staring at that bread since earlier."

Goten turned his head and looked at the girl in front of him with surprise. He blurted out without thinking, "Ah! Videl, the daughter of the hero Satan, how lucky I am to meet you here..."

That's right, the girl in front of them was none other than Videl, Gohan's future wife. Upon hearing the child's words, Videl exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, little one, do you know this very well? Are you also a fan of Daddy?"

Goten (Me? A fan of Satan. Come to think of it, if I could get in touch with Satan, I wouldn't have to worry about pocket money anymore... Oh right!): "Um, does Mr. Satan have any activities planned lately? I sneaked out to see him, and I want to become his apprentice!" (Oops, that just slipped out... What did I say?)

Bidel was surprised again, but still said gently, "Little friend, it's too early for you to want to become my father's apprentice. But I can tell you that my father will be at the recruitment event for the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament tomorrow. You can go and see for yourself. There are many powerful people there. Then you'll know how difficult it is to become my father's apprentice."

Upon hearing this, Goten feigned shock and replied, "Oh, I see. By the way, I'd like to ask how the prize money for this World Martial Arts Tournament is distributed."

Bidel explained, "Only the first place gets ten million, that's all..."

After hearing this, Wutian made up his mind to get at least ten million, but another idea quickly came to mind...

Videl took the bread and handed it to Goten. Then she led Goten to the counter, paid for it, and left. Watching Videl leave, Goten thought to himself, "Gohan is so lucky. Considering how good Videl is to me, I'll go easy on Mr. Satan."

The next day, Goten arrived at the World Martial Arts Tournament's selection site right on time. Looking at the muscular men in front of him, Goten remained unmoved and muttered to himself, "Tch, a bunch of dead muscles. No wonder Krillin and the others don't participate in these martial arts tournaments anymore. They're so lame."

Goten's voice was overheard by a passing man, who instantly flew into a rage and shouted at Goten, "Kid, what did you just say? It seems necessary to teach you a lesson and let you know how powerful I, Scobio, am."

Goten (Scobeo?) turned around and saw that it was indeed a human subordinate controlled by the future mage Babidi. He said disdainfully, "What are you looking at? You're not here to sign up for the competition either, are you? If you're so tough, let's have a go in the ring."

Upon hearing this, Scobio burst into laughter: "Hahaha, everyone come and see! This brat actually said he'd teach me a lesson in the ring! It's hilarious..." The crowd was drawn to Scobio's words, and all eyes turned to Goten, causing them to burst into laughter.

Ignoring the laughter of the crowd, Wutian walked straight to the registration desk, wanting to register, but was reminded by the staff: "Kid, this is not an amusement park, go play somewhere else."

Wutian just smiled and said, "Uncle, don't look down on me. I'm very powerful. You'll see if you don't believe me..." As he spoke, Wutian punched the ground hard, creating a large crater.

Wutian's enormous commotion left everyone on the scene speechless. The staff, who had recovered from the shock, immediately wrote Wutian's name on the registration form.

After registering, Wutian wandered around the venue. Suddenly, everyone looked in one direction. A man with an afro walked out under everyone's gaze, took off his cape, raised his hands above his head in a peace sign, and shouted, "Mrs. Satan has arrived!"

The atmosphere instantly ignited, and the crowd began chanting – "Satan! Satan! Satan! Satan..."

Goten didn't agree. Just then, someone patted Goten on the shoulder from behind. Goten turned around and saw that it was Bulma. He wondered, "Wow, what's Aunt Bulma doing here?"

Bulma asked curiously, "I just came from the amusement park with Trunks and we were just passing by. Goten, what are you doing here?"

Wutian looked around and said, "I've come to see what the World Martial Arts Tournament is like, and also to see what good food there is, since it's a bit boring in the mountains."

Bulma: "Oh, I thought you came to sign up for the competition."

Upon being chosen, Wutian instantly tensed up and whistled, his eyes darting around nervously. Just then, another voice rang out, "Ah, it's you, little friend, you've come."

Goten turned around and saw Videl. He quickly greeted her, "Sister Videl, I'm here! Mr. Satan is really popular. I can't even squeeze through."

Bidil comforted her, saying, "It's okay. I'll take you straight to my house later so you can meet your dad. Consider it a dream come true."

Goten feigned surprise and said, "Thank you so much."

-

So, after registering and preparing for the selection competition the next day, Goten went to Mr. Satan's room with Videl. Videl spoke first, saying, "Dad, a fan wanted to see you, and I happened to run into him, so I took him along..."

Satan interrupted, "Videli, do you think I'm the kind of person you just meet with casually? How could you just casually..."

Bidil: "Daddy, but he's still a child..."

Satan: "A child? Oh well, I'll reluctantly let him in."

When Goten entered the room, Satan looked at the kid in front of him and said smugly, "Hahaha... kid, I heard you wanted to see me? How about it, aren't you excited to see me in person?"

To avoid offending Videl, Goten had no choice but to feign excitement and agree, "Oh! That's amazing! It really is Mr. Satan! I can't wait to fight you. You're so strong! I'll have to work hard in tomorrow's selection tournament!"

Bidel was taken aback and asked, "Hey, little one, do you mean you've already signed up for the martial arts tournament? How did you do that? I'm not even qualified."

Satan was equally incredulous, saying, "Kid, you're not kidding, are you? How old are you?"

Wutian held up three fingers and said, "Three years old, but very powerful. You'll see tomorrow. Wait, tomorrow is the elimination round, and the quarterfinals are the day after tomorrow... See you the day after tomorrow. I will test my strength against you."

After saying this, Goten turned around to leave, but before leaving, he turned back and said, "Oh right, I forgot to tell you my name. My name is Son Goten, and I am the son of Son Goku, the champion who won the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament."

Upon hearing this, Satan suddenly remembered (Wu Kong?) that Wu Kong wasn't the father of the boy in the Cell Games, the blond one..., and panicked instantly. But in front of Videl, he forced himself to remain calm—"Videli...Videli, you go back first. I need to prepare so that the day after tomorrow I can show that brat my prowess and display my glory."

Videl then went back to her room, leaving Satan alone, racking his brains for a solution...

(Will Goten, who has signed up for the World Martial Arts Tournament, be able to successfully win the prize money? Will he encounter any unknown and powerful enemies in this tournament? In any case, a new World Martial Arts Tournament is about to begin!)
