This Is Definitely Not Dragon Ball!!

Chapter 247: Gathering of Martial Artists



Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the time for the Cell Games had finally arrived.

At the same time, martial artists from around the world who had prepared to participate in the Cell Games began to take action.

On Kame Island, Master Roshi, Son Gohan, and Ox-King were seeing off Krillin and Yamcha:

"Krillin, Yamcha, aside from Yuujin and Gokumi, you two are the most outstanding disciples of the Kame School."

"Cell's existence has become a threat to the peace of the entire world. As disciples of the Kame School, now is the time your strength is needed."

"Fight bravely, for the sake of our world and humanity. Never bow to evil!"

No longer acting like his usual pervy self, Master Roshi spoke with a serious expression as he gave his final instructions to Krillin and Yamcha.

"Yes, Master Roshi!"

Standing straight, Krillin and Yamcha responded loudly.

"Of course, while bravery in battle is important, you must also know your limits."

"Cell's power is likely beyond what you can handle. Just do your best to assist. If you find yourselves in real danger, don't let pride get in the way. Run if you have to."

"No matter what, preserving your lives is the most important thing."

Master Roshi's tone softened as he spoke. After all, they were his disciples, and he didn't want Krillin and Yamcha to throw their lives away against an enemy they couldn't defeat. Only Yuujin and Gokumi stood a real chance against Cell. Krillin and Yamcha were there to help at best.

Krillin and Yamcha nodded. They understood this even without Master Roshi saying it.

They weren't ready to die yet. If things got dangerous, they'd naturally cling to Yuujin for help rather than let Cell kill them.

"Don't worry, Krillin, Yamcha. If you die, we'll make sure to collect your bodies."

"Hahaha…"

Oolong's voice chimed in as he held his stomach, laughing loudly.

Krillin and Yamcha's faces darkened. This stupid pig—couldn't he say something more auspicious?

With the start of the games approaching, Krillin and Yamcha prepared to leave. After waving goodbye to everyone, they erupted with energy and flew into the sky:

"Master Roshi, everyone, we're off!"

"Krillin, Yamcha, fight with all your might!"

"Yamcha, do your best!"

In West City, Master Shen, Tao Pai Pai, and Yulin were also seeing off Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu.

Not long ago, when Dr. Gero and Android 19 attacked West City, Master Shen and Tao Pai Pai had been killed by the androids. However, Yuujin later had Bulma use the Dragon Balls to restore West City, and Master Shen and Tao Pai Pai were revived along with the other victims.

"Master Shen, we're off."

"Go, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu."

"You are my proud disciples. Don't lose to those Kame guys."

"Also, teach that android a lesson and avenge me and Tao Pai Pai!"

"Yes, Master Shen!"

After saying their goodbyes, Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu erupted with energy and shot into the sky like streaks of light.

Watching them leave, Yulin ran out and shouted, "Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, do your best!"

In a desolate and steep valley, Piccolo sat cross-legged, floating in the air.

His white robe fluttered despite the lack of wind, and an overwhelming aura radiated from his body.

At a certain moment, Piccolo suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing within them. Then, with a series of explosions, the entire valley around him was flattened!

Standing up, Piccolo gazed into the distance.

There, an incredibly powerful presence stood.

"Cell, huh? Even the Guardian of Earth finds you troublesome."

"Hmph, let me see just what kind of monster you are!"

With a cold snort, a wild and arrogant smile spread across Piccolo's face. He then erupted with energy and shot into the sky.

---

At the same time, similar scenes played out across the world as many righteous and passionate martial artists set off toward Central City.

They all shared the same goal: to participate in the Cell Games and defeat the evil android, Cell!

At the Cell Games arena, Cell, the main attraction, stood on the stage with his arms crossed, resting with his eyes closed.

Over the past three days, he had fully mastered his current form and power, adjusting himself to peak condition.

As the start of the games approached, Cell suddenly opened his eyes, sensing something.

In the distance, a figure leaped from one mountain peak to another, moving at an astonishing speed toward the arena.

Soon, the figure landed at the base of the stage. It was a middle-aged man with dark skin and a lean, muscular build.

"I am Kuen Wu, a martial artist from the Kuen Wu Dojo. Cell, I've come to participate in your game!"

The man, who introduced himself as Kuen Wu, exuded a fierce, tiger-like aura.

"Brave of you. Welcome."

"You're the first participant to arrive. Wait here."

Cell smirked as he replied.

Without another word, Kuen Wu closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and began to adjust his energy.

Not long after, a series of rumbling sounds echoed as another figure appeared on the horizon.

It was a massive, obese creature that looked like a humanoid tank, running at an incredible speed. The ground collapsed wherever it stepped, and a long trail of dust followed behind it.

"Wildman King, reporting for duty!"

"Cell, I'm here to defeat you!"

The creature, who called himself Wildman King, soon arrived in front of the stage. His booming voice sounded like thunder.

"Hmph, small fry."

Cell let out a light snort, his face filled with disdain.

As the start of the games drew nearer, more and more participants arrived. Soon, hundreds of martial artists had gathered below the stage.

Each of them was a renowned martial artist from Earth, radiating powerful auras. Even Cell had to admit he was somewhat impressed.

Compared to the world he had come from, the martial arts scene here was thriving beyond belief!

However, while these martial artists were impressive for humans, their power was still nothing in Cell's eyes.

Well, whatever. He didn't expect much from them. They could just serve as live audience members.

---

At that moment, several powerful auras suddenly appeared. Cell looked up and saw multiple figures cloaked in energy flying toward the arena from three different directions.

A pleased smile spread across Cell's face.

"Not bad. Finally, some decent opponents have arrived."
