The Straw Hat Pirates
Sanji lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and slumped onto the ground, not wanting to move an inch.
"Sanji, can you cook something?" Luffy was so hungry that his chest felt like it was touching his back!
Everyone else had given up on thinking.
"Hold on, my legs are a bit weak!" Sanji said helplessly.
The battle against the Super Four had been utterly terrifying. Thankfully, the planet hadn't been blown to bits.
Hawkeye's Castle
The baboons were in an uproar. They shouted one after another, "See how strong we are with tails now! Just you wait and see how arrogant that swordsman acts in the future!"
Some baboons even dared to challenge Hawkeye Mihawk himself but were beaten to a pulp and even had their tails cut off...
Naruto World
Hokage's Office
"Enma, can you turn into a gorilla?" The Third Hokage asked, taking a deep breath. His eyes were full of expectation. If Enma could transform into a gorilla, how powerful would that be? From then on, the Third Hokage would be the strongest Hokage! Who would dare oppose him?
"Are you out of your mind? You're so old; are you still dreaming like a child? No wonder you're on your way out!" Enma retorted, clearly displeased. He had been summoned just to be asked this?
The Third Hokage looked wronged. He had only asked. Nowadays, everyone in the village was ranking the Hokage, and he had been deemed the weakest. His prestige among the villagers had plummeted; even Konohamaru, upon seeing him now, would say:
"Grandpa, Big Brother Naruto is the strongest Hokage. When will you step down?"
Such a filial grandson indeed!...
[The Screen Continues]
After Baby was completely annihilated by Goku, everyone on Earth was restored to their original forms with the help of the Supreme Kai.
However, they then learned that the Dragon Balls collected earlier had been used.
The Earth was going to explode in two weeks!
As they were discussing, the Earth was already groaning—the ground shook violently, and massive tsunamis swept across the lands!
Vegeta looked at Kakarot (Goku) and asked, "Kakarot, can you still use Instant Transmission now?"
Goku smiled and replied to Vegeta in a somewhat sly tone, "Hm! It's a piece of cake for a Super Saiyan 4!"
Vegeta smiled back, crossing his arms. "Super Saiyan 4... you're really annoying."
Within two weeks, the people of Earth gathered quickly and were transported to the New Planet Plant via Instant Transmission.
However, after using Instant Transmission extensively, Goku seemed somewhat exhausted. By the time he found Piccolo, his energy was completely drained, and he reverted to his child form.
"Huh? Tired?" But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't use Instant Transmission anymore.
Goku said with a sorrowful expression, "Oh no, I've used it too many times... I have no energy left to use it anymore..."
Piccolo looked softly at Son Goku, a trace of nostalgia in his eyes. "Son! You are Son Goku!" He grabbed Goku's hand and smiled. "There's nothing Son Goku cannot do! Don't say that!"
Piccolo transferred his energy to Goku and shouted, "You have to believe in yourself, Son Goku!!!"
Goku, feeling the power surge within him, roared, "Let's go!!!"
But at that moment, Piccolo let go of his hand.
Goku, who had returned to the spaceship, saw Dende reunited with his family. He turned his head and said, "Good! Piccolo..."
Goku looked around in confusion. Piccolo, who was supposed to come with him, was nowhere to be seen. Goku couldn't help but tremble, the corners of his mouth twitching. He thought of something, looked toward Earth, and shouted, "Piccolo!!!!"
At that time, Earth was on the verge of destruction, with only one figure still standing.
"Boom!!!" Lightning flashed and thunder roared; dark red magma gushed out incessantly, like a waterfall!
There was no fear in Piccolo's eyes as he calmly awaited his death.
Meanwhile, Gohan on the New Planet Plant was in command. But then he heard Uncle Piccolo's voice.
"Can you hear me... Gohan..."
"Uncle Piccolo..." Gohan looked around for Piccolo until his gaze fell upon the exploding Earth.
"I've decided to stay and share the same fate as Earth!"
Gohan was stunned for a moment, then his heart tightened. He didn't understand why Piccolo would make such a decision.
"Why...?"
"The Ultimate Dragon Balls... were created before the previous Kami and King Piccolo separated... So..."
"If I die... the dragon will also disappear... The Dragon Balls will turn into ordinary stones..."
"What...?"
Piccolo was indifferent to his own death, facing it calmly. "Dragon Balls that only last a day in this world... The same cycle repeating over and over..."
"Such a thing needs to be sealed..."
"It's better to destroy them..."
Tears welled up in the corners of Gohan's eyes, streaming down his cheeks and dripping onto the ground. He said in a trembling voice, "Uncle Piccolo..."
In the void, it was as if Piccolo stood before Gohan, patting his shoulder and saying calmly, "Stop crying, Gohan. You've truly become stronger!"
"Your Turtle Style Kamehameha has gotten more powerful!" Piccolo held his continuously bleeding abdomen without any resentment, only happiness.
When Gohan was a child, Piccolo had taken care of him after Goku's death. Though his methods were harsh, they were undoubtedly the best for a warrior.
To Gohan, Piccolo was the best father!
"Take care..."
"Gohan!!!"
With Piccolo's roar, Earth exploded!!!
It turned into a white light in the universe!
Gohan knelt on the ground, pounding his fists against the floor relentlessly. Tears flowed endlessly; there was no sound, only heart-wrenching despair!
"Uncle Piccolo!!!!!"...
Dragon Ball World
"Uncle Piccolo!" Gohan cried again, this time weeping bitterly as he kept searching for Piccolo.
"Is this my destiny? Not bad—to live and die with Earth!" Piccolo wasn't sad about his death. Warriors had long been prepared for it!
Since merging with Kami, he had the duty to protect that planet!...
[After the destruction of Earth, thanks to the Dragon Balls of Namek, Earth was restored to its original state!]
[But some people couldn't come back...]
[Some time later...]
[The sky above Earth underwent drastic changes...]
Earth: "Please, let me be. Stop changing already. I've been blown up so many times!" A massive abyssal hole appeared in the sky above Earth.
Goku sensed an extremely evil aura emanating from this hole.
"What a vile stench!"
"Of course!" At that moment, a voice echoed above Goku and the others.
"It's the voice of the Supreme Kai..."
"Long time no see, how are you?"
"Just a slight cold... No, that's not the problem now! Goku! Soon, Hell and Earth will be connected!"
Countless people on Earth watched this scene in horror, though some seemed accustomed to it.
On a hilltop, Android 17 radiated an extremely dark aura!
"I am you, and you are me!"
The scene gradually shifted downward, into Hell.
There was another Android 17 here as well.
"Now, the gates of Hell are about to open!"
The two seemed to sense each other, simultaneously bursting with immensely powerful auras. Dark energy surged as the energy between the Android 17 in Hell and the one in the human world rapidly intertwined!
Instantly, the dark clouds in the sky churned violently, lightning flashed, and thunder roared. The connection between Hell and the human world instantly widened!
"The end of the world is coming!"
"Earth is going to be destroyed!"
Earth: "...Fine, you guys are ruthless! Just remember to resurrect me later!"
As people fled, numerous creatures fell out of the abyssal hole! They were more like ghosts than living beings!
"Ghosts... Ah!!!!"
The world instantly descended into chaos. Ghosts descended from the sky in broad daylight, terrifying ordinary people so much that they wet their pants!
Dr. Gero and Dr. Myuu observed the global situation and began to celebrate!
Trunks woke up and told everyone about his encounter with Android 17. They threatened to send Goku to Hell!
Meanwhile, the souls that had escaped from Hell began wreaking havoc everywhere.
Guldo, Android 19, the Ginyu Force, and many other villains defeated by Goku and the others!
Even Goku's former self, imprisoned in Hell by the doctors and manipulated innocently, roared:
"You're all too immature!"
Here, Goku encountered his old rivals, Cell and Frieza. But his strength had improved by leaps and bounds; even in his normal state, he could defeat them playfully.
"You two really haven't made any progress at all!"
Goku used Frieza's Death Beam as a springboard and the cut iron rod as a staff, shouting with a smile:
"I am who I am! I am Son Goku!"
Simultaneously, the warriors on Earth fought desperately.
The Android 17 in Hell and the one on Earth began to merge into one!
The evil warrior, Super Android 17, was born!
