"Tien, quickly pick up the bottle and open it!" Son Goku shouted urgently.
Looking down, Tien Shinhan finally realized the bottle at his feet was the one sealing Kami.
Without hesitation, he bent down, picked it up, and pulled out the cork.
"Not good!" Piccolo exclaimed in shock.
But by the time he tried to stop it—
It was already too late.
"Whoosh!"
A puff of smoke rose from the bottle, and Kami sprang out safely.
"Nice work!" Goku grinned widely.
After being released from the seal, Kami looked around in confusion.
"What happened?" he asked, puzzled.
Then realization dawned on him.
"I remember now… I was sealed inside the bottle by the Mafuba."
"You must be Kami," Master Roshi said as he stepped forward. "Goku used a clever tactic to save you."
"Where's Goku?" Kami asked.
"Hey, get over here and stand next to me," Broly said, patting Kami on the shoulder.
"Otherwise you might get eaten again later, and that would be a real hassle."
Kami: "..."
Kami wiped the sweat from his forehead but didn't say anything.
"You… you bastard!" Piccolo roared angrily, shrinking back to his normal size.
"What's wrong? Back to normal already?" Goku smiled. "Afraid I'll crawl into your stomach again?"
"RAAAH!" Piccolo charged at him furiously.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The two vanished from the arena instantly.
"They disappeared again!" Tien shouted.
Everyone looked around desperately, trying to find them.
"I can't see them… even with the eyes of a god…" Kami said in shock.
But as he said this, he suddenly realized something.
He turned toward Broly.
Broly was looking up at the sky with the expression of someone watching an exciting show.
Wait… can Broly actually see them?
Sure enough—
A moment later, Goku and Piccolo appeared high in the sky, each landing a punch on the other.
Kami: "..."
Broly never trains, yet his eyesight is this sharp?
He can even track them?
"BANG! BANG! BANG!"
The battle between Goku and Piccolo became increasingly intense.
Suddenly—
Goku fired a Kamehameha from his foot, using the recoil to launch himself forward and smash his fist into Piccolo's face.
"H-He fired a Kamehameha from his foot!" Tien exclaimed.
"Yes!" Roshi nodded in admiration.
"By firing it from his foot, his hands remain free to fight. What a brilliant idea!"
Piccolo's body began falling toward the ground.
Then suddenly—
Electric sparks flashed from his antennae.
Goku was caught off guard and instantly electrocuted.
"AAAH!"
"Thud!"
Goku slammed hard into the ground, grimacing in pain.
Piccolo dived down from the sky and threw a heavy punch toward him.
"Not good!" Kami shouted, instinctively rushing forward to block the attack.
But—
"Grab!"
Broly grabbed Kami by the cape and yanked him back.
"What are you doing, Broly?" Kami asked, nearly falling over.
"This is a fight between the two of them," Broly said with a grin.
"Don't interrupt. Let Goku fulfill his dream of winning the championship first."
Kami had no idea how to respond.
"BANG!"
Piccolo's punch slammed into Goku's face.
Goku flew backward and crashed into a wall.
But moments later he stood up again, breathing heavily.
Piccolo didn't attack immediately.
Instead he sneered.
"So even you're starting to feel tired."
"You too," Goku replied with a grin. "Your punches aren't as strong as before."
"Son Goku! Stop this match!" Kami suddenly shouted.
"This is trivial compared to defeating him! The two of us should attack together! With Broly as well, the three of us could definitely defeat him!"
"I prefer fighting one-on-one," Broly said instantly, rejecting the idea.
A newly born Piccolo wasn't worth three people teaming up.
"Broly's right," Goku added with a smile.
"Sorry, Kami. Please let me fight according to a martial artist's wishes."
Kami was speechless.
What kind of people are these two?
Then another thought crossed his mind.
Both Goku and Broly had tails.
Goku's tail had been removed.
But Broly still had his.
Yet somehow, Broly had never transformed into a Great Ape all these years.
"Kami, please let Goku fight alone," Tien said seriously.
"Yes," Krillin agreed. "If Goku can't handle it, then we'll step in."
"Hahaha!" Piccolo laughed wildly.
"You think the three of you could defeat me?"
"What a joke! Even if all of you attacked together, you wouldn't stand a chance!"
"Well…" Broly suddenly clapped his hands.
"My fists are starting to itch."
He looked toward Goku eagerly.
"Goku, are you done yet? My turn."
Goku: "..."
"Let me finish first," Goku said quickly. "Then you can go."
"Alright," Broly nodded.
Piccolo: "..."
Piccolo's face darkened.
So first Goku fights.
Then Broly fights.
And maybe Kami afterward?
Are they running a relay match?
But why should I be afraid?
"Fine then, we'll go one at a time," Kami finally agreed.
"Good," Goku said with a smile.
"Hmph. You sound pretty confident," Piccolo sneered. "Do you really think you can defeat me?"
"I've already figured out your techniques," Goku said calmly.
"You what?!" Piccolo gritted his teeth. "You think you can defeat Demon King Piccolo?"
"I can," Goku nodded.
"That's impossible! I'm far stronger than Broly was three years ago!" Piccolo shouted.
"Maybe," Goku replied with a smile. "But right now, I'm stronger than you."
"You're talking nonsense!" Piccolo roared, firing another energy blast.
The attack sped toward Goku at incredible speed.
Goku jumped away to dodge.
But the blast chased him relentlessly like it had a mind of its own.
Goku fired a small Ki blast to maneuver away.
"Hahaha!" Piccolo laughed.
"No matter where you run, it will chase you to the ends of the earth!"
