Chapter 32 Amazing, so powerful, Saiyan Prince!
Last time, we talked about how Goten and Nappa's battle finally came to an end after a back-and-forth exchange. However, Nappa, who was defeated, was abandoned by Vegeta, who wanted to execute him on the spot. Fortunately, the kind-hearted Goten saved him. After handing Nappa over to Krillin and the others, Goten took Vegeta to choose the next battlefield...
Goten led Vegeta to an area covered in rocks (referred to as Rock Mountain), and then landed on one of the rocks. Vegeta landed on another rock that was a few meters higher than Goten. The two looked at each other and assumed fighting stances, just like when Vegeta faced Goku.
Piccolo and Gohan, who arrived later, continued to observe the battle between Goten and Vegeta from a crevice in the rocks not far away.
Back on Goten's side, facing Vegeta's powerful aura, Goten couldn't help but swallow hard. After all, Vegeta was different from Nappa; the two were simply not on the same level. Goten tensed up, and Vegeta, seeing this, dropped from his fighting stance and extended his right hand, signaling Goten to attack him.
Seeing this, Goten didn't wait any longer and rushed forward. However, Vegeta easily dodged Goten's attacks one after another, and even seized an opening, punching him in the face and sending him flying.
After Vegeta sent Goten flying, he didn't rush to pursue. Instead, he teased, "What's wrong? Where did your momentum go? Are you saying you're only barely stronger than Nappa...?"
Upon hearing this, Goten charged at Vegeta again, but it was all in vain. His attacks couldn't even touch Vegeta. After Vegeta seized another opening, delivering a knee strike, then grabbed his hair and threw him away, Vegeta said impatiently, "Didn't you hear what I said? Attack with all your might! Don't hold back..."

Yamcha was still a little worried about Krillin, but he didn't dare to go to Goten's side, so he asked Krillin, "Krillin... can Goten really defeat Vegeta? I feel a little uneasy."
Krillin replied, "Yamcha, don't worry. Even if he's not good enough, Goku will be back soon, won't he?"
But the voice that suddenly came into their minds caught Krillin and the others off guard. It was Goku's voice, which said seriously, "I'm sorry, Krillin, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back. The Dragon Balls... the Dragon Balls have already been used up. Baba the Fortune Teller has also gone out and her whereabouts are unknown. Earth can only be entrusted to you and Goten. I'm sorry, I can only stay on King Kai's planet and watch over you."
Krillin and the others were stunned by what they heard, and it took them a while to react. Krillin stammered, "So... if Goten fails, we will also..." After understanding what Goku meant, Krillin said to Yamcha, "Yamcha, you take good care of them. Tien Shinhan, are you okay?"
Tien Shinhan said helplessly, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'll have to stay here with Yamcha and take care of Chiaotzu and that damn Saiyan."
Seeing this, Krillin had no choice but to go alone to support Goten.
Meanwhile, Chi-Chi, upon hearing Goku's message, couldn't sit still any longer. Out of concern for Gohan, she rushed onto Bulma's helicopter and flew with Master Roshi and the others towards Goten and the others' location.

Meanwhile, Gohan and Piccolo also heard Goku's message and rushed to Vegeta, saying to Goten, "Kid, you knew Goku couldn't come, but you didn't say a word. You bastard, in that case, let's all come at you. This is no joke."
Seeing this, Wutian was speechless, but still said, "Wait a minute, I'm not finished fighting yet. You guys can come to my aid when I can't fight anymore, although that doesn't sound very humane..."
Upon hearing this, Piccolo reluctantly told Gohan to move aside and said to Goten, "Then you'd better be careful. After all, this concerns the entire Earth, not just your show."
Upon hearing Piccolo's words, Goten couldn't help but sigh, "Wow—the once invincible Piccolo Daimaō is actually speaking up for Earth today. He's really changed a lot..."
Upon hearing this, Piccolo immediately retorted, "Idiot! Who cares about Earth? Are you still going to fight or not?"
Vegeta, who had been waiting for a long time, said impatiently, "Have you guys finished chatting? I'm getting annoyed. Hurry up and let one of you come and have some fun with me."
Upon hearing this, Goten walked in front of Piccolo and Gohan, while Piccolo and Gohan retreated to the safe zone to continue watching the battle between Goten and Vegeta.
Seeing Piccolo and Vegeta retreat, Goten immediately activated his ki, causing Vegeta's stamina detector to rapidly increase its readings—"2000...3000...4000...5000...6000...7000." It only stopped at 7000. Upon seeing Goten's reading, Vegeta couldn't help but praise, "Over 7000, not bad. As an Earthling, you deserve praise, but for me, it's still too weak."
Goten didn't waste any words upon hearing this, but simply reminded Vegeta, "If you underestimate me, I won't be responsible for the consequences."
After saying that, Goten once again lunged forward, unleashing a barrage of Wolf Fang Fists at Vegeta. Vegeta calmly dodged Goten's attacks, but just as he was about to launch another counterattack, Goten shouted, "Kaiōken!" His speed instantly increased, and he flashed behind Vegeta, punching him in the face the instant Vegeta turned around.
Then came a swift pursuit. Goten, wielding the Kaioken, caught up with Vegeta, dodging Vegeta's counter-attack punch, and landed three punches on his abdomen. After being hit three times, Vegeta immediately unleashed energy cannons with both hands, forcing Goten to back off.
After Vegeta forced Goten away, he immediately unleashed his full power, boosting his fighting strength to a new level. With his power surging, Vegeta's speed once again overwhelmed Goten. Goten missed three punches in a row, allowing Vegeta to seize the opportunity again. He kicked Goten away and then caught up in mid-air, delivering punch after punch.
Seeing that he was at a disadvantage, Goten had no choice but to shout, "3x Kaioken!" His speed was able to overtake Vegeta again, bypassing Vegeta's attack, circling around and charging straight at Vegeta. Just as Vegeta crossed his arms to prepare for the fight, Goten suddenly circled behind Vegeta and kicked him hard in the back, smashing him into the mountain rocks like a meteor.
Seeing this, Piccolo couldn't help but exclaim, "Amazing! He's already surpassed Vegeta in a flash. If Goku were even stronger than him... Damn it, I'm so unwilling to accept this..."
Vegeta shakily got up and continued charging towards Goten, who met him head-on. The two engaged in a fierce battle, during which Vegeta noticed that Goten's stats were decreasing, realizing that his opponent's condition was not the type to maintain for long. So he began to stall for time.
As Goten fought, he realized that he was expending too much energy. Although he still had the upper hand, he knew that if he continued, he would eventually be worn down. So he stopped using the 3x Kaioken and used the 2x Kaioken to fight Vegeta. Vegeta, noticing that his opponent's attacks were weakening, smiled smugly and suddenly unleashed his ki to retaliate.
With a punch that broke through Goten's defenses, he struck Goten in the abdomen. Immediately afterwards, he slammed Goten to the ground with both hands, then roared, "Go to hell!" He unleashed countless energy projectiles at Goten, which slammed into the ground, creating plumes of smoke...
(Faced with Vegeta's fierce attack, Goten is now completely at a disadvantage. How will he counterattack? The battle to defend Earth continues...)
