Age 750.
The World Martial Arts Tournament officially began.
In the end, Master Roshi, disguised as Jackie Chun, won the championship.
After the tournament ended, Son Goku set off on a journey to search for the Dragon Balls.
He fought against the Red Ribbon Army, climbed Korin Tower, and battled the world's greatest assassin, Mercenary Tao…
However, Broly never participated in any of it.
His greatest hobbies remained the same:
Eating and sleeping.
…
Age 753.
The 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament opened.
Tien Shinhan won the championship, while Son Goku finished as the runner-up.
Broly attended both of these tournaments as a spectator and watched the matches.
Of course, during these four years, Broly's power level continued to grow at a terrifying rate.
If someone had to assign a number to Broly's power level—
It would probably be…
At least tens of billions.
Such was the terrifying power of the Legendary Super Saiyan.
And the most absurd part was—
He never trained.
However, Broly suppressed all of that enormous energy inside his body.
Because of Master Roshi, Broly had never once gone berserk since arriving on Earth.
Perhaps Roshi's care and guidance had quietly changed the violent nature in Broly's heart.
In truth, Broly himself had no idea how strong he really was.
He only knew one thing:
Son Goku and the others seemed… very weak.
You train every single day…
So why does it feel like none of you can beat me?
Fortunately, Broly had little interest in fighting.
No one is provoking me…
So why should I fight?
Isn't eating well, drinking well, and sleeping well enough?
After all—
Wasn't that the Turtle School's philosophy of training?
…
World Martial Arts Tournament Arena
"Everyone, see you again in three years!"
The referee loudly announced.
The audience gradually began leaving the stadium.
"Goku, take my clothes," Krillin said with a smile. "Yours are completely torn."
"Thanks," Goku nodded.
"What a shame," Krillin sighed.
"It can't be helped. Losing is losing," Goku replied casually.
"You really don't want half the prize money?" Tien Shinhan asked.
"I don't need it," Goku shook his head. "I don't even know how to spend money."
"But you deserve the prize," Tien said awkwardly.
"I only won because of luck. In terms of strength… I actually lost to you."
"Hahaha! Luck is also part of strength," Master Roshi laughed.
"And Goku learned a lot by fighting such a strong opponent."
"Hehehe, yeah!" Goku nodded.
"So how about we all go eat something?" Roshi suggested.
"If Goku and Tien eat well, they'll recover their energy."
"Then I'll treat everyone using my prize money," Tien proposed.
"Hehe… better not," Krillin said while shaking his finger with a grin.
"You don't know yet, but we have two bottomless stomachs here."
As he said this, Krillin glanced toward Broly.
Tien blinked in confusion.
"Ah! Oh no! Where's my Power Pole?" Goku suddenly remembered.
"You're exhausted, right? I'll go get it for you!" Krillin said as he headed into the room.
"Thanks," Goku nodded.
"I'm sorry I hit you so hard earlier," Tien said to Yamcha.
"Don't worry about it," Yamcha smiled.
"I'm just glad I wasn't killed."
"So what are your plans now?" Roshi asked.
"Where will you go?"
"If you want, you can come stay at my house. You're always welcome."
"Huh? Absolutely not!" Launch immediately objected.
"If outsiders move in, Broly and I won't feel comfortable!"
Master Roshi: "..."
Roshi didn't dare argue.
Because Launch was currently in blonde mode.
Bulma silently looked at Launch.
Over the past few years, Launch had been constantly pursuing Broly.
Yet Broly still hadn't shown any romantic awareness.
The problem was—
Although Broly was handsome…
He was too lazy.
And he didn't look particularly strong.
Not even as impressive as Yamcha.
But still…
Why didn't I visit Kame House earlier back then?
Maybe Broly would have been mine.
With my charm, how could I possibly fail?
Such a handsome guy… and Launch gets him instead.
Bulma's mind wandered.
"Um… I appreciate the offer," Tien said awkwardly.
"Even though I betrayed my master, we're still disciples of the Crane Hermit. We can't shamelessly move into your place."
"No… it's fine…" Roshi waved his hand.
If Launch already objected, what else can I say?
"Chiaotzu and I will live somewhere else," Tien said.
"AHHH!"
Suddenly—
A terrified scream came from inside the room.
"What was that?" Roshi's expression changed.
Broly also turned toward the room.
"That was Krillin!" Goku's face changed.
He rushed toward the room.
"Krillin! What happened?!"
Everyone ran inside.
Inside the room—
Krillin lay on the ground, motionless.
His eyes were open, but lifeless.
The referee was lying nearby, injured.
"Krillin! What happened?!" Goku shouted while checking him.
"A… a monster…"
The referee spoke weakly.
"He took a strange ball from a bag… and stole it."
"He also took the tournament participant list!"
"The Dragon Ball and the list?" Roshi frowned.
"He's dead…" Goku said with a heavy expression.
"What?! What did you say?!" Roshi was shocked.
Even Broly looked slightly surprised.
That little bald guy… actually got killed?
"Krillin… was murdered!" Goku trembled with rage.
"What happened here?" Yamcha still hadn't processed everything.
"A monster…" Roshi said grimly.
"It stole Goku's Dragon Ball and the tournament list?"
"Krillin tried to stop him," the referee said.
"But that monster killed him."
"That bastard! I won't forgive him!" Goku shouted angrily.
He grabbed the Power Pole and strapped it to his back.
Then he turned to Bulma.
"Bulma! Did you bring the Dragon Radar?!"
"Huh? Yes…" Bulma wiped her tears and nodded.
"Wait! Goku!" Roshi shouted.
"Nimbus!"
Goku grabbed the Dragon Radar from Bulma.
"Hold it! I order you to stop!" Roshi yelled.
But Goku had already jumped onto the Flying Nimbus.
He shot into the sky and disappeared instantly.
"That reckless idiot!" Roshi ran outside and looked up at the sky.
His voice turned serious.
"That monster defeated Krillin so easily!"
"And Goku already used up all his strength in the tournament!"
"How could he possibly defeat that creature?!"
