Chapter 31 The End of the Conflict: Naba's Defeat!
As mentioned last time, during the battle between Goten and the others and the Saibamen, the Z Fighters were repeatedly ambushed by Nappa. While the others were engaged in fighting Nappa, Goten chose to stand by and watch. After the others were defeated, Goten finally made his move. In the battle with Nappa, Nappa was gradually shocked by Goten's strength. After suffering a minor setback, Nappa finally straightened his attitude and prepared to fight Goten with all his might.
On the battlefield, Piccolo looked at Goten and instructed Gohan, "Watch Gohan closely and observe their fight carefully. Although I don't want to admit it, that kid named Goten is already stronger than me, so watch carefully what a real fight is like."
The other Z Fighters arrived at Piccolo's side. Tien Shinhan, holding Chiaotzu, turned his gaze to Goten after finding him unharmed. Yamcha asked Krillin, "Can that guy win, Krillin?"
Krillin: "Hmm... Before Goku arrives, we'll just have to let him stall for a bit and see."
Back to Goten, after a standoff with Nappa for nearly a minute, Goten patiently waited for the right moment for Nappa to make his move, adhering to the principle of "I won't move unless the enemy moves"...
Nappa clearly didn't have Goten's patience, so he attacked first, flying towards Goten. However, his punch was dodged by Goten, who then delivered a powerful elbow strike to Nappa's abdomen. Vegeta stared at the 2200 flashing on the detector, remaining silent as he continued to observe.
After the elbow strike, Goten quickly used several backflips to create distance. Seeing Nappa clutching his stomach, seemingly not having reacted, Goten decisively launched a flying kick at Nappa. However, he suddenly saw Nappa grinning wickedly. Goten knew something was wrong; this was a trap set by the other party. But it was too late.
Nappa grabbed Goten's foot and then used the Hulk's "Loki Slam" to throw him, causing Goten to scream in pain. Gohan immediately prepared to help, but Piccolo stopped him, saying, "What's the panic? That guy is fine."
After Nappa used a hammer throw to send Goten flying and crashing into the mountainside, Goten stood up while yelling in pain and emerged from the crater. Goten immediately flew back to the battlefield, but as a return gift, Goten said directly, "Damn it, they used so much force! Well then, I won't hold back either. Prepare to die!"
After saying that, Goten raised his right hand above his head, and energy formed a disc above his head and began to spin rapidly. Krillin was shocked when he saw that and said in disbelief, "That's... the Spirit Slash! He can actually do that? I thought I was the only one who had mastered it."
After Goten used the Destructo Slash to throw Nappa away, Nappa, who was originally planning to take the hit head-on, was suddenly reminded by Vegeta loudly—"Get out of the way, you idiot! That's not an attack you can take next!"
Upon hearing this, Nappa quickly somersaulted to dodge, but as soon as he landed, Goten was already in front of him, grabbing Nappa's tail. Nappa instantly collapsed to the ground, unable to get up. Seeing this, Krillin excitedly shouted, "Great! That takes care of one! Quick, finish him off!"
However, Goten coldly replied to Naba, "You think I'd fall for your trick? I don't expect to defeat you by catching your tail. Take this!"
Just as Goten was about to launch a surprise attack after piercing his Nappa, his body was suddenly pulled and slammed to the ground before he could react. However, this was only the beginning. Before he could catch his breath, Nappa made contact with the ground again, once, twice, three times...
Seeing that it was about time, Goten grabbed Nappa's tail and started spinning him around like he had done before. However, as Nappa's tail couldn't withstand the force and broke off, Goten also fell flat on his face due to the inertia as Nappa flew away.
On the other side, Nappa, struggling to his feet, dragged his battered body back to the battlefield. His anger completely overwhelmed his reason, and he cursed Goten: "You brat, I'll take your life! If you've got the guts, stand there and don't move, and watch my ultimate move!"
After saying that, he began to gather his strength. Piccolo sensed the powerful aura of his opponent and shouted at Goten, "Stop him, or you're done for! That guy is serious!"
Vegeta stared at Nappa's stats, which had reached 4000, and seeing that Goten didn't seem to be dodging, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh, kid, you've got some backbone. If you take this hit, I'll fight you."
Upon hearing this, Goten didn't waste any words. He simply began to gather Kamehameha energy in his hands and gradually increased his aura. Vegeta watched as Goten reached 3700 and continued to rise, observing silently...
Nappa's power was fully gathered, and he opened his mouth wide, unleashing a powerful energy wave. The force of the impact forced the Z Fighters nearby to raise their hands to block it. Just as the impact was about to reach Goten's face, Goten's Kamehameha finally roared out, clashing with Nappa's shockwave.
The intense collision of the two energies generated a powerful shockwave that forced the Z Fighter to use his hands to barely maintain his footing, while the unconscious Chiaotzu was held tightly in Tien Shinhan's arms. Looking at the two evenly matched opponents, Piccolo couldn't help but admire Goten, saying, "Wow, he's really strong. I wonder where Goku found such a powerful helper. Is he even stronger than that kid now?"
The two appeared evenly matched in their energy blasts, but this was actually because Goten didn't want to kill Nappa, so he slightly held back. As time passed, Nappa's power gradually weakened, and the shockwaves also gradually diminished. Upon seeing this, Goten immediately canceled his Kamehameha. Sure enough, Nappa's shockwaves disappeared right in front of Goten after he canceled the Kamehameha.
Seeing that the battle was over, Vegeta said to Nappa, "That's enough, step back. You can't beat him. I'll take care of him."
Upon hearing this, Nappa glanced at the others beside him. Before Vegeta could speak, he charged towards Piccolo and the others. Goten, seeing this, shouted, "Kaioken!" His speed instantly doubled, and he was right in front of Nappa, delivering a powerful punch to Nappa's abdomen. Then, he leaped up and slammed his feet into Nappa's back, completely incapacitating him...
Seeing that Nappa was completely unable to fight, Goten turned to Vegeta, lifted Nappa up, and threw him in front of Vegeta. Nappa looked at Vegeta, stretched out his hand, and pleaded, "Save...save me, Vegeta..."
Vegeta grabbed Nappa's hand, and just as Nappa was beginning to feel touched, Vegeta's next words chilled Nappa to the bone. Vegeta coldly declared, "A person who has lost their usefulness... I don't need!" With that, he flung Nappa high into the air...
At this moment, Goten rushed directly towards Vegeta, interrupting the latter's next move. After Vegeta dodged his kick, Goten caught Nappa as he fell and gently placed him on the ground, saying, "Rest here for a while, I'll come back to save you later."
Then he said to Krillin and the others, "Uncle Krillin, keep an eye on this guy for me. Don't let him die. I'll be back in a bit." Then he said to Vegeta, "Let's go somewhere else. This place is too close to the city."
Vegeta replied that it was up to him to choose, he didn't care. Goten whispered to Nappa, "Uncle, enjoy life outside of battles once in a while. Stay put, I'll come help you in a bit."
After saying that, he flew away with Vegeta, leaving Nappa and the other Z Fighters behind. Piccolo then told the others, "You guys keep an eye on him, I'm going to check over there."
Seeing this, Gohan decisively followed, while Krillin, Yamcha, and Tien Shinhan stayed behind, taking care of Chiaotzu while keeping an eye on Nappa...
(Goten, having successfully defeated Nappa, turns to challenge Vegeta. Now that Goten has mastered the Kaioken technique, can he defeat Vegeta? The battle to protect Earth continues...)
