Dragon Ball: Super Goten

Chapter 148 Sun Wukong VS Blackbeard Pirates!

Picking up where we left off, Luffy and his two companions, back on the Going Merry, immediately informed Nami of the news of the battle with the Blackbeard Pirates. They were promptly reprimanded by Nami – “Why is this happening? I had Goten watching you all! How could this happen!”

Zoro then spoke up: "It's Goten's solo challenge. The opponent is the Blackbeard Pirates, which Ace is looking for. Goten has already fought with them before, so let's prepare for the battle. Even if we don't go, Luffy and his crew will come looking for us to capture Luffy, who has a bounty of 100 million."

Goten noticed something was wrong and quickly stepped in front of Nami, catching a bullet that came out of nowhere. The others immediately became alert. Usopp and Chopper were so frightened by the sudden bullet that they huddled together, while Nami was so startled that she fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Luffy's anger flared instantly, Zoro immediately put on his bandana, and Sanji lit a cigarette. This battle was already inevitable, so Goten, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji immediately jumped off the Going Merry and prepared to head to the battlefield.

Although Usopp and Chopper were scared, they bravely jumped off the ship, ready to go down together. Just then, Robin returned and was a little confused when she saw everyone's serious expressions. Goten said to Robin, "Robin, look after Nami. We have something to do."

After finishing their conversation, the Straw Hat crew—Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Chopper, and Goten—seriously headed towards the place they had agreed upon with Blackbeard, ready to settle things once and for all...

Upon arriving at the agreed-upon location, and seeing Blackbeard and his three henchmen, Luffy spoke first: "We originally had no reason to fight, since you were Ace's target. But since you fired at my crewmates, you might as well go to hell..."

Blackbeard laughed mockingly, "Straw Hat Kid! Underestimating us will make you regret it. My men are all handpicked by me. Come and try if you dare!"

(The Blackbeard Pirates currently consist of four members: Laffitte is temporarily absent, and the remaining members are Burgess (Strength-Strength Fruit), Van Augur (Teleportation-Teleportation Fruit), and Doc Q (Sickness-Sickness Fruit).)

Luffy shouted, "Gum-Gum Gun!" and his arm shot towards Blackbeard like a spring. Blackbeard remained calm, and Burgess rushed forward from behind, his muscles bulging, and directly withstood Luffy's attack.

Zoro simultaneously drew his sword and charged at Van Augur, but Van Augur used his teleportation fruit ability to constantly blink and dodge, causing Zoro's attacks to completely miss...

Sanji kicked Doc Q, who, riding his horse, spewed out a cloud of black smoke carrying germs that enveloped Sanji. Seeing this, Sanji had no choice but to quickly dodge...

Goten clenched his fists, his body glowing white, and charged towards Burgess. Their fists collided, causing the surrounding air to surge.

Usopp and Chopper provided support from the sidelines. Usopp used his slingshot to fire various strange projectiles to distract the enemy, while Chopper quickly used his enhanced mental abilities to analyze the components of Doc Q's virus...

However, the next second Blackbeard activated his Devil Fruit power, instantly pulling Luffy into his hand. Luffy tried to retaliate but felt his power being absorbed by his opponent. At this moment, Blackbeard said, "Hahaha, Straw Hat, a Devil Fruit user I've captured is practically defeated. That's the power of my Dark-Dark Fruit!"

Seeing this, Goten decisively went to rescue Captain Luffy, but was blocked by Burgess. At the same time, Zoro was accidentally hit by a bullet fired by Van Augur, and Sanji was also in critical condition after being infected by Doc Q's virus...

Seeing this, Goten decisively transformed into Super Saiyan 2, used a Kamehameha to teleport and kill Doc Q, then teleported again to dodge Van Augur's gunshot, used his left hand to control the opponent, and when he was unable to move, he used a big explosion to kill him, then teleported again to kick Burgess away, and then used two Destructo Slashes to force Blackbeard to release Luffy.

Blackbeard, seeing the battle turn around in an instant, broke out in a cold sweat. He never expected this blond kid to be so powerful. At this moment, Burgess stood up again and, to demonstrate his power, launched another attack on Goten. Upon seeing this, Goten unleashed his energy sword, piercing Burgess's body...

Blackbeard was horrified at the sight, but Goten spoke up, "Luffy, you guys go back and get treatment first. I'll be there soon, and then we'll go to Skypiea together. Leave these guys to me."

So the Straw Hat crew left, leaving Goten, Burgess of the Blackbeard Pirates, and Blackbeard himself to continue their standoff. As soon as Luffy and the others disappeared from sight, Goten immediately spun his spirit sword and cut Burgess in half at the waist, leaving only Blackbeard clinging to life.

Blackbeard's eyes were bloodshot as he gritted his teeth and said, "Kid, don't think you can defeat me like this."

Goten crossed his arms and replied dismissively, "Then show me your true skills."

Blackbeard stomped his foot, intensifying the surrounding darkness. He waved his hands, unleashing waves of black energy towards Goten. Goten easily dodged them. Then, Goten gathered all his energy at his fingertips, shooting a golden beam of light directly at Blackbeard. Blackbeard opened his mouth wide and swallowed the beam. Just as Goten was surprised, Blackbeard suddenly appeared behind him and threw a punch. Goten hastily dodged to the side, but was grazed by the force of the punch.

Goten's eyes sharpened; he knew Blackbeard's cunning. He pressed his feet forward, instantly closing the distance to Blackbeard and giving him no chance to use his Devil Fruit powers again. A barrage of punches and kicks rained down upon him. Blackbeard could only defend passively, forced to retreat steadily.

Just as Goten thought victory was imminent, Blackbeard suddenly burst into maniacal laughter. He roared, "You think you can defeat me like this? You underestimate the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit!" With that, he unleashed a powerful suction force, drawing everything around him into the darkness. Goten felt a tremendous pull; he tried to steady himself, but the ground beneath his feet began to crumble.

Blackbeard shouted, "Great Darkness!" and endless darkness enveloped the entire sky. Goten knew that if he didn't use his full power, he would be doomed. So, in the next second, Goten decisively transformed into Super Saiyan 3. The powerful aura instantly caused the entire ocean to surge and crash. Even the Marine Headquarters, thousands of miles away, felt this terrifying power.

After Goten transformed into Super Saiyan 3, his entire body radiated golden light, illuminating parts of the darkness like a blazing sun. He roared, and a powerful shockwave spread out from him, temporarily repelling the engulfing darkness.

Blackbeard was startled, not expecting Goten to possess such power. Undeterred, he amplified the power of his Dark-Dark Fruit, unleashing a tidal wave of darkness upon Goten. Seeing this, Goten swiftly aimed his hands at Blackbeard, instantly gathering all his strength to unleash a super ultimate impact capable of destroying the Earth!

Blackbeard attempted to engulf Goten's Ultimate Impact with darkness, but this time he miscalculated. The Ultimate Impact broke through the darkness's defenses, striking Blackbeard directly. With a deafening roar, Blackbeard was completely swallowed up...

Goten deactivated his transformation, knowing the battle was finally over. He turned and flew in the direction Luffy and the others had gone, leaving behind only a devastated battlefield and fading darkness.

The Marines arrived a few days later and learned the full story from the witnesses. By then, Goten and the others had already gone to Skypiea. The Marines decisively doubled Goten's bounty, directly surpassing Luffy's to reach 400 million Berries. However, Goten and the Straw Hat crew on Skypiea were still unaware of this...
