DBZ Goten : Become Stronger By Defeating Your Opponent

Monaito was not Granola's biological grandfather, but he had raised him as his own. Despite the lack of blood ties, Monaito treated Granola with the care and love of a true grandparent.

"Granola, you're back!" Monaito called out warmly as Granola entered their humble home.

"Yeah," Granola replied with a curt nod, his mind clearly elsewhere.

"Have you eaten yet? How about I make you some fried noodles?" Monaito offered with a kind smile.

"No need," Granola said, his gaze fixed on an object resting on a nearby table—a one-star Dragon Ball.

This Dragon Ball was one of only two that existed on Planet Cereal. Unlike the Dragon Balls on Earth, which required all seven to summon Shenron, Monaito's Dragon Balls needed only two to summon their dragon and make a wish. Additionally, these Dragon Balls had no cooldown period and could be reused immediately after granting a wish.

The immense power of these Dragon Balls was tied to Monaito's identity as one of the last Namekians of Planet Cereal.

Hundreds of years ago, Namekians from another dimension had migrated to Universe 7. Many years later, their homeworld was destroyed by environmental mutations. Monaito and a handful of his kin fled to Planet Cereal, where they found refuge among the planet's native people.

But peace was short-lived. On a fateful full moon night, Frieza's army invaded. The native Cerelean and Monaito's fellow Namekians were wiped out. Before his death, the great elder entrusted the Dragon Balls to Monaito, ensuring their legacy survived.

Monaito's Dragon Balls were more powerful than the Dragon Balls of Namek, with the potential for further upgrades, similar to how Earth's Dragon Balls had been enhanced by Dende over the years. However, Monaitoonly possessed one of the two Dragon Balls. The other had been lost somewhere on Planet Cereal, and no one knew where it might be.

Granola's frustration was evident. Without the second Dragon Ball, he could not make a wish, and his long-sought revenge on Frieza remained out of reach.

Earth

While Gohan and Videl were busy with work, Chi-Chi had called on Goten to take care of Pan.

Pan, now two years old, was an energetic and strong-willed child. Though she could walk, her speech was still limited. Even at her young age, Pan's strength was undeniable—evident since the time she had contributed her energy to help Goku transform into a Super Saiyan God while still in Videl's womb. Her potential was immense.

Over in West City, Trunks was similarly tasked with helping Bulma take care of his baby sister, Bulla. Like Pan, Bulla showed signs of exceptional talent, but her father Vegeta was doting to the point of obsession.

"Goten doesn't know how lucky he is," Trunks muttered as he watched Bulla toddling on the grass. "He doesn't have to study, and he doesn't have to babysit his sister either!"

Despite their complaints, both boys knew they were helping prepare the next generation of Saiyan warriors.

Planet Cereal

Granola had no mercenary missions to occupy him, so he dedicated his time to searching for the missing two-star Dragon Ball. However, Planet Cereal was a vast planet, and the search felt impossible—a needle in a cosmic haystack.

After days of fruitless searching, Granola returned home and sat down to watch the news. His patience was wearing thin when a report caught his attention.

The broadcast showed a young boy who had gone to the mountains to study insects. While exploring, he had discovered an unusual orange crystal with two stars inside. Scientists were now studying its properties.

Granola's heart raced. "The Dragon Ball!" he exclaimed, his eyes lighting up with excitement.

He wasted no time. With the Dragon Ball now in the possession of the Sugarian people, Granola knew he would have to steal it.

That night, Granola infiltrated the Sugarian's secure facility. The guards posed little challenge to his skills, and he quickly subdued them. Within moments, the two-star Dragon Ball was in his hands.

With both Dragon Balls now in his possession, Granola returned home to retrieve the one-star Dragon Ball. He carried them to an open field far from civilization, preparing to summon the dragon.

Holding the two Dragon Balls, Granola recited the summoning spell. The sky above Planet Cereal darkened, and a brilliant golden light burst forth. A magnificent dragon with a golden body, crimson eyes, and wings descended, its presence commanding awe and respect.

"My name is Toronbo," the dragon declared. "Speak your wish, and I shall grant it. But only one wish may be made."

Granola didn't hesitate. "I wish to be the strongest in the universe!"

Toronbo's eyes flashed with crimson light as he processed the request. "That wish cannot be granted," he said.

"What?!" Granola shouted. "You said any wish could be granted!"

"That is true," Toronboreplied. "But to become the strongest in the universe requires an immense price—your lifespan. Even if you sacrifice your entire life, it would not be enough to achieve such strength."

Granola clenched his fists. "Then what about becoming the second strongest in the universe?"

Toronbo paused. "That can be done, but it will cost you one hundred and fifty years of your lifespan. If you agree, you will have only three years left to live."

Granola considered the cost. Three years… Was it enough time to achieve his revenge? After a moment, his resolve hardened. "Do it," he said firmly.

"Very well," Toronbo said. "Your wish will take time to manifest."

As the dragon spoke, Granola's body began to change. His hair, once short, grew long and flowed down to his waist. He felt a surge of power unlike anything he had experienced before.

"It is done," Toronbo said. "You are now the second strongest in the universe. Farewell!"

With that, Toronbo disappeared, and the two Dragon Balls shot into the sky, scattering across Planet Cereal once more.
