c91: Luya Trains Trunks and Stimulates His Potential
Vegeta's inability to transform into Super Saiyan 3 was once a sore spot for him something that nearly made him want to break open a Senzu bean bottle out of frustration. But that was long in the past. By now, Vegeta no longer cared. As long as he was strong enough, there was no need to pursue the same forms as Kakarot. He didn't have to be weaker just different.
"Haah!!" roared Trunks, pushing his energy to its peak. With a surge of determination, he drew his sword and charged straight at his father.
Vegeta's expression didn't change. His eyes narrowed with disdain now was the perfect moment to demonstrate the true gap in power.
Just as Trunks thrust his blade forward, Vegeta calmly raised his hand and caught the tip of the sword with his bare palm wrapped in shimmering Super Saiyan Blue ki.
"What?!" Trunks' eyes widened in shock. This same attack had made Goku Black cautious but his father had stopped it effortlessly!
"You're underestimating Super Saiyan Blue," Vegeta said coldly. Then, with a flick of his wrist, he yanked the sword forward and landed a brutal punch right into Trunks' gut.
Bang!
"Gahh!" Trunks gasped as the breath left his lungs, his golden aura vanishing instantly. His form dropped out of Super Saiyan.
Vegeta didn't stop. With a hardened glare, he grabbed his son's collar and flung him away like a ragdoll.
Boom!
A crater erupted where Trunks landed, his body embedded in the ground.
Vegeta descended slowly and hovered above, saying nothing.
After a long silence, Trunks pushed himself upright, his face troubled. "I get it… With Dad and Goku around, we'll defeat Black. I don't need to worry."
He truly believed it. With his father and Goku's strength as Super Saiyan Blue warriors, the threat to the future could be eliminated.
"Tch!" Vegeta's face twitched. He flashed in front of Trunks, grabbed him by the front of his jacket, and yanked him up. "You idiot!! As a Saiyan, you actually said something so pathetic?!"
"Huh Dad?" Trunks blinked, completely stunned by the outburst.
"You call yourself a Saiyan?! You're my son and you're relying on others to save your world?!" Vegeta's voice was filled with bitter disappointment. "That kind of thinking is disgraceful."
"I—" Trunks faltered. As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized how much they must have grated on Vegeta's pride.
"I've been angry with you from the start," Vegeta growled. "You lost to Black. You let your mother die. Then you ran here with your tail between your legs! You abandoned your pride!"
With that, Vegeta slammed two quick punches into Trunks' abdomen.
"Ugh!!" Trunks clutched his stomach in pain but gritted his teeth and said nothing.
In truth, Vegeta's rage wasn't only about pride. Future Bulma was still his wife regardless of timeline. The thought of her being killed by Goku Black had burned inside him, and now, some of that fury finally erupted.
After seeing Trunks struggle to breathe, Vegeta let him go.
Cough, cough! Trunks dropped to the ground, gasping for air.
"Listen to me, Trunks," Vegeta said coldly. "A Saiyan never has the luxury of relying on others. Never forget that."
Without another word, Vegeta turned and walked away.
Trunks stared at his father's retreating figure, ashamed. He clenched his fists. He had indeed left his mother behind. He had sought help instead of fighting on. Wasn't that cowardice?
"Damn it!" he punched the ground twice in frustration.
"…Actually, your father isn't entirely right," said a calm voice.
"Huh? Luya?" Trunks turned to see the figure approaching.
Luya smiled lightly. "Maybe Goku and Vegeta don't understand what you've faced. But I do. Black Goku isn't just strong—he's terrifying. Even normal ki-based attacks barely affect him. And he has a secret weapon no one else does."
"You… sound like you know a lot about Black," Trunks asked, blinking in confusion.
Luya chuckled. "Let's just say I've studied him. Your father and Goku are strong, sure—but even they might not be enough."
"What?! But they have Super Saiyan Blue!" Trunks said, shocked.
Luya's eyes narrowed. "And what if Black Goku can transform too? What if he has a partner?"
"Ah?!" Trunks felt a chill. The idea made him break out in cold sweat.
"It's not just a theory," Luya continued. "Think. He's not acting alone. If what I suspect is true, then even Super Saiyan Blue won't be enough. Not against Zamasu."
Trunks clenched his fists. His mind was swirling with dread and confusion. But one thought pierced through it all.
He stood up straight, eyes determined. "Luya, please… help me train. I can't let my mom's death be in vain. I need to become stronger."
Luya paused in surprise… then heard a familiar ding inside his mind.
[Ding! System Task Triggered! Mission: Spar with Trunks and Awaken His Hidden Potential!]
Luya smiled. Perfect timing.
"Alright. I'll train you."
"Thank you!" Trunks bowed. "Let's start right now!"
"First, take this." Luya tossed him a Senzu Bean. "Recover completely before we begin."
Trunks ate the bean and immediately surged back to full strength.
The two took off into the sky, floating high above the land.
Luya crossed his arms. "My training method isn't much different from Goku or Vegeta's. So don't hold back.give it everything you've got."
Trunks nodded. "Right!"
Boom! His energy exploded outward. With lightning dancing around him, Trunks entered Super Saiyan 2 his strongest stable form.
Luya smiled. Then his aura flared up, golden bolts spiraling as he powered up to Super Saiyan 2 and beyond.
With a roar, his hair grew longer, his eyebrows vanished, and his power surged beyond Trunks' comprehension.
"Th-this is Super Saiyan 3?!" Trunks gasped.
Luya nodded. "A form even Vegeta hasn't mastered."
Trunks pulled out his sword and shouted, his ki flaring and fusing into the blade.
Luya narrowed his eyes. "Impressive. You've learned to fuse your energy with your weapon. No wonder your strikes have such weight."
"Ahhh!!" Trunks launched at Luya like a rocket, sword swinging furiously.
Luya dodged each swing, his movements swift and effortless.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Their blows echoed through the sky.
Then, in a sudden burst, Luya gathered energy in one palm and fired a blast that sent Trunks flying.
Before Trunks could recover, Luya teleported in front of him. Trunks struck again with his sword but Luya parried with his forearm and slammed a knee into his gut, followed by a spinning kick that sent him crashing down.
Luya hovered above, calling out: "Is that it?! That won't beat Black Goku! You want revenge?! Then stand up and show me!!"
"Ngh… aaahhh!!!" Trunks pushed himself up, his energy crackling violently. His aura expanded with explosive force, shaking the air.
From afar, Vegeta opened one eye and saw the energy spike. A small smirk played on his lips.
So… the brat still had some fight in him.
