Dragon Ball: Super Goten

Chapter 159 A Generous Gift

Picking up where we left off, after the banquet with its singing and dancing, it was already past midnight. Nami, who was still half asleep, was woken up by Luffy. With a puzzled look on her face, Nami asked Luffy what was wrong while still half asleep.

Luffy whispered, "Nami, let's steal some gold now..." Nami immediately perked up, "Gold!" Luffy scolded, "Idiot, you're being too loud!" Nami retorted, "It's your voice that's loud!" The argument woke everyone up...

The Shandians and Skypiea residents looked at the Straw Hat crew and couldn't help but complain, "These Aokai people are too noisy..." After the others went back to sleep, the Straw Hat crew split up. Sanji, Nami, Luffy, and Chopper went to the snake's belly to find the gold, while Usopp and Zoro stayed outside to keep watch.

Robin, on the other hand, accompanied the Shandian elders to explore ancient ruins, where she learned some shocking truths, including the fact that the former Pirate King, "Gol D. Roger," had also visited Skypiea...

When Goten arrived at the Shandian people's place, he watched them try to salvage the Golden Bell. Despite their concerted efforts, it was still very difficult. It wasn't until the Sky Island residents joined in the salvage operation that the Golden Bell was finally salvaged.

As everyone cheered, Goten prepared to go back, but as soon as he turned around, the Shandians called out to him, "Saiyan boy, wait a minute!" Goten turned back and they continued, "We have no way to repay your great kindness. Fortunately, one of the pillars of the Golden Bell has fallen off. Take it as a small gift from us!"

Upon seeing the enormous golden pillar, Goten's eyes flashed with dazzling golden light. The next second, Goten immediately put on the Magic Ring, opened the storage room, lifted the golden pillar with one hand, and threw it inside, fearing that if he was even a second late, the other party would change their mind and refuse to do it. The Shandians and Skypiea residents witnessed Goten's power once again.

After Robin finished her investigation, Goten followed her to say goodbye and return home. Meanwhile, the Shandians and Skypiea residents carried the Golden Bell back to its original location. The Shandian elders and Kam-Fall watched with satisfaction as the two groups of residents coexisted peacefully...

Back to Luffy's side, after obtaining a considerable amount of gold, Nami rode the Waver back to the Going Merry to prepare, while Usopp traded rubber bands for many Sky Island shells, preparing to return to the Grand Line to properly craft new weapons and, incidentally, improve Nami's Clima-Tact.

Seeing that Goten and Robin hadn't returned yet, Zoro was the first to get restless and stood up, saying, "Honestly, they have no sense of time at all. I'm going back first..."

Upon hearing this, Usopp immediately shouted to stop him—"Idiot! Stop it now!"

Luffy immediately chimed in, "Stop right there, you idiot!"

Sanji followed closely behind—"Idiot Moss Head!"

Chopper, unafraid of death, retorted, "Green-haired idiot!"

Seeing this, Zoro couldn't help but retaliate, and a chaotic battle immediately ensued. Chopper was knocked out with a single blow, Usopp was being beaten up one-sidedly, Sanji and Zoro were practically fighting each other, and Luffy was laughing and attacking wildly...

When Goten and Robin returned, they were speechless at the sight of the chaotic fight. It wasn't until Chopper reminded the other four that Robin and Goten had returned that the small brawl temporarily stopped. The group showed Goten and Robin the gold they had found, and then, at Luffy's command, the Straw Hat crew headed towards the Going Merry.

When the Sky Island residents and Shandians returned, they were quite surprised to find that the Straw Hat Pirates had already set sail and left. However, they quickly came to their senses and began to ring the Golden Bell to bid farewell to the friends who had saved Sky Island.

The Straw Hat crew, aboard the Going Merry, arrived at the Skypiea exit. The Compass Bird they had brought with them also returned on time. While the crew was still basking in the joy of their gold find, they were shocked to discover that beyond the exit lay a completely vertical waterfall. Thus, the crew and the Going Merry began their descent…

Goten, however, remained completely unfazed, stating that he could fly and was no longer afraid. Upon hearing this, Usopp immediately hugged Goten for protection, and Nami and Chopper also quickly joined in, seeking protection as well. In response, Goten had no choice but to once again display his personal collection.

The next second, Goten pulled out the watch given to him by Tony Stark from the Avengers universe, selected the mode, and the armor's thruster components immediately activated, bringing the Going Merry and the Straw Hat crew to a safe stop, allowing the Going Merry to slowly descend...

Once things calmed down, the Straw Hat crew began questioning Goten about what this thing was. Goten promptly transformed into his armored form and boasted, "Hahaha... This is a super-intelligent armor I obtained during my adventures before I met you guys. Why can't I go to the sky and the earth? Flying into space is not a dream either! It's called the Mark Armor - Saiyan MAX!"

Goten continued, showing off, "To tell you the truth, I have a hidden identity. People affectionately call me the partner of justice, the strongest hero—'Super Saiyan Superman'! Cheer up..."

Upon hearing this, Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper immediately shouted excitedly, "Super Saiyan Superman! Super Saiyan Superman! Super Saiyan Superman! Super Saiyan Superman!"

Sanji scoffed, "What Super Saiyan? That's so cheesy..." Nami, however, exclaimed, "So cool, Goten!" Robin couldn't help but agree, "He really is cool, Super Saiyan!" Sanji's expression immediately changed, and he began praising, "Goten, you're so handsome..."

Seeing this, Zoro couldn't help but ask curiously, "Hey, Goten, are you sure those things can help us land safely?"

Upon hearing this, Goten immediately gave an OK sign, indicating that there was no problem. At the same time, he raised his right hand and asked, "So, who wants to try on this transformation armor?"

Upon hearing this, Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper immediately began vying for the priority to transform. In the end, the three decided by playing rock-paper-scissors that Usopp would be first, Chopper second, and Luffy third.

Having watched the rock-paper-scissors game, Goten couldn't help but tease Luffy—"Luffy, are you an idiot? If you just threw rock, you'd be guaranteed second place. Chopper can only throw scissors anyway..." Luffy and Chopper both suddenly understood—"I see..."

So after letting Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper play with the armor, Goten went to ask Sanji for something to eat, leaving the three of them to play happily there...

After waiting all night and finally returning to the sea, Goten deactivated the armor, stating that it should only be used in extremely critical situations. He even fabricated a lie that ordinary people would die if they used it more than three times, which fooled Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper, the three naive guys...
