Hey it's great to be back! I want to thank everyone who stayed to keep reading because I really do like to make this story! Now with that out of the way I hope you enjoy the next chapter!
Begin the Tournament! A New Dragon King will be declared part 2
Last time on the Story of the Dragon Pirate:
"That's it folks! In a turning event this battle goes to Son Goku!" The announcer said as an ovation of cheers erupted from the battle.
Hancock couldn't hold in her excitement, she just had to run down and congratulate Goku, but she knew the Shichibukai's were still there, so she would have to wait to ask her question until Goku and the rest could enter back into the hallway. She ran down the stairway and entered into the hallway while Goku helped walk Chilla to the outside of the ring while the other competitors took over to fight.
"Number 75, Anonymous with a brutal K.O!" The announcer shouted as many gasps were heard from the stands. "What?! But the match had just started!" Chopper said in shock as the crew turned around to see a grounded person with a majority of his body broken in different and horrifying ways. "My god..." Nami cupped her mouth as she saw the horrifying site.
"This is unbelievable! First he pummels the poor fellow and then puts his two fingers to his head and then sent a blast towards the young man's side, somebody please get him medical attention now!" The announcer shouted as a pair of medical teams rushed towards the stage taking the man to the infirmary. Goku looked at the cloaked figure. "Put his two fingers... Special beam cannon? No!" Goku finally realized who was under the cloak. "Bad move, Bad move indeed"
"Cell"
In the medical infirmary...
Goku and the rest of the Straw hats rushed into the infirmary as did many fighters checking up on their 'friend' (Everyone in the tournament were close as they began socializing with one another) Chopper ran towards the doctor getting the medical reports while the fighters closed in around the guy asking how he felt and was he okay.
"Yeah... I'm fine" Number 83 smiled weakly before he twitched in pain. Goku pushed through the crowds and pulled out the bottle full of senzu beans and took one out. As Goku finally got through, he lowered his hand to Number 83 showing him the Senzu bean. "Eat this bean, It will help reattach all your broken bones back into place" Goku said.
Number 83 was at first hesitant but eventually complied as he knew Goku wouldn't stop until he ate it. Number 83 couldn't actually move so Goku dropped the bean into his mouth and moved his head back allowing him to swallow. Number 83's muscle started to expand in size nearly ripping his gi because of the massive increase in muscle mass. The crowd had taken a step back as Number 83 got up slowly and realized he could stand up again.
"What the hell was that?" Number 83 said in disbelief but completely amazed at what the bean did. Goku gave a brief description of the senzu bean and its healing ability. After Goku finished, the straw hats came forward "What happened to you? One minute the battle just started and then immediately you're on the floor with multiple bones in different places they shouldn't be" Ussop said.
Number 83 shuddered as he recalled the brutal beat down. "I remember it vividly, that monster split into 4 versions of him and ganged up on me" Number 83 started up. Goku frowned as he knew what technique Cell had used "Multiform technique" Goku muttered to himself. "Then he used the other 2 versions of him to hold me while the 3rd one put his two fingers to his forehead and shot a beam at me knocking me out" Number 83 shrugged as that was all he remembered.
"You've gotta remember at least a little bit more, we need to know what we're dealing with" Sanji said as he lit a cigarette. He felt a rush of excitement in battling the cloaked figure (Cell) but deep down, he felt fear trying to seep through his body. Ussop on the other hand had no problem showing his fear when thinking about Cell. "Sorry, I wish I could help more but that's all I remember" Number 83 said.
Goku looked around to see most of the fighters who were listening into their conversation; he noticed the scared look on their faces. It was just like when Majin Buu came and was absorbing everyone including his friends and family. The terror Goku felt continues to haunt him whenever he had walked past Buu. He knew Buu couldn't do any more harm but the fact the jolly going creature had the ability to bring out a darker side made Goku keep his guard up everyday incase another emergency like that ever happened.
Goku had enough, he walked out the door leaving the rest of the straw hats in the infirmary, he needed some air. Goku walked out towards the front of the island and watched the sun setting as the day was almost over. Goku was sweating nervously, Even though it was Cell, Goku felt a power emitting from him that wasn't there when he had first fought him during the Cell Games. "Did he get stronger over the years? No he couldn't have since he needed to absorb people in order to get stronger" Goku thought. He sensed Cell's ki and thankfully found no power that was one of his friends in the Dbz world.
Goku scratched his head in confusion "Wait... how did he get here in the first place?" Goku thought out loud. First Cell returns back from hell and now he appears in the one piece world? "He couldn't have used the dragon balls right? Maybe instant transmission?" Goku thought before he shook his head in disapproval. "No... If that was the case I would have gone home the minute I came here" Goku sighed as he would never understand how Cell came back to life, all of that would be answered whenever he gets the chance to fight him.
"Goku!" A female voice called out towards him. "Huh?" Goku snapped out of his thoughts and turned around to see a familiar face, he grinned as he knew who it was. It was Hancock. "Hey Han... Dragon Queen" Goku joked while he bowed his head in respect. Hancock blushed a little and cupped her face while turning her face away "What are you doing here alone?" Hancock said smiling but with her head turned away.
"I'm just getting some fresh air before my next battle" Goku laughed slightly while rubbing the back of his head. "So how's everything in the Amazon Island after Luffy and I left?" Goku asked as Hancock turned her head towards him "Well, it's a little boring to rule the island without someone to share the excitement with" Hancock closed her eyes and blushed slightly; sadly Goku was oblivious as usual.
"I've actually decided I wanted to go and explore the world too Goku" Hancock started "and I just got one thing to say to you Goku" The sayian cocked his head slightly "What is it Hancock?" Goku asked. The empress lips curled into a smile that would melt any who gazed upon the sight. She walked towards Goku "Son Goku... will you ma..."
Hancock was interrupted by the loud speaker "Attention, attention all! The tournament will start again in 2 minutes, if you could please return to the arena as soon as possible for the next match" The announcer stated across the island before dying down into silence.
"Whoa! I'm gonna be late! Sorry Hancock maybe we can talk later!" Goku started running towards the arena. The empress blushed and called back "Till then sweetheart!" Goku didn't hear her fully as he dashed through the island and back towards the arena.
Arriving late as Goku had gotten lost; he walked back to the stadium and saw the matches were already starting. Thankfully his match was upcoming next and he was excited to see who his next opponent would be. As Goku approached, he noticed Vados waiting patiently for him as he came closer. "You're thirty minutes late Goku, we all know you of all people shouldn't have been late" Vados rolled her eyes as Goku grinned and scratched the back of his head. "Sorry about that, anyways I thought you had left already?" Goku asked.
Vados sighed "Champa sama was still hungry and asked me to get him more of your earthly cuisine, so I've decided to take a 'pit stop' on the way" Vados winked. Goku laughed "Alright then, my match is about to start" Goku looked up to see both of the competitors leaving the stadium. Goku ran towards it while looking back "Wish me luck!" Goku said as Vados nodded and took her seat with the rest of the straw hats in the stands.
(Okay so the winners of the previous fights while Goku was talking with Vados were number 66, 74, 77, and the losers were 43, 69, and 78, only 10 remain...)
Goku walked up into the stadium and was shocked to see who his opponent was; yes you guessed it, Luffy. "Luffy?! We're fighting now?" Goku sighed sadly as he wanted to vs. his friend in the semi finals. Luffy grinned "Yeah! And with that extra training I did with those training gear, I should be far stronger than I was back when I trained with Rayleigh"
Goku smiled and prepared his fighting stance "Then I don't want you to hold back on me okay?" The bell had sounded indicating the match had begun, afar from the stadium a hand stretched forward and shot a dark pulse of energy towards the ring and into Luffy. "Ergk!" Luffy's eyes widened from the pain, his body started growing bigger into his gear forth and his eyes turned crimson red, Luffy felt a dark power growing inside of him and was continuing to grow even more powerful inside him to the point he wasn't in control of his body.
"Hm?" Goku's eyes narrowed as he looked at Luffy suspiciously, "Oh... Don't worry..." Luffy looked up with his evil in eyes and increased his powers tremendously which made Goku take a step back. "I wasn't going to hold back" Luffy said as he dashed towards Goku and launched an uppercut into Goku's abdomen. "What the? This isn't Luffy!" Goku said out loud, "Where is this power coming from?!" Goku turned his head to see where the dark energy power was flowing from Luffy, He squinted his eyes to see the cloaked figure cell causing the entire problem.
"Cell! I've got to Argh!" Goku felt a sharp pain course into his back as he crashed down into the arena, he looked up to see Luffy crash back down and grab him by the face, repeatedly slamming his body into the stadium. (For all the reviews for what comes up next, KEEP IN MIND this is Cell's new power being transferred into Luffy's body, thus making him much stronger than before giving Goku a harder time to fight, so I don't want to see anyone whining about why he should have one shot him)
"What's Luffy doing? He looks like he's going to crush Goku!" Sanji shouted in disbelief as did the rest of the crew. Vados squinted her eyes, she didn't understand how Luffy suddenly became much stronger in a matter of months since the last time they saw each other. "Goku!" Hancock cupped her hand over her mouth as she was watching Goku getting thrown around like a rag doll.
Luffy threw Goku across the stadium almost knocking him off the edge, "Ergh... My head..." Goku rubbed his head as he saw an evil grin coming from Luffy. Goku slowly got up "Luffy! You got to listen to me... this isn't you" Goku fell down to one knee, and winced from the pain. "You have to fight his mind control powers Luffy; I know you can do it!" Goku shouted. The evil side of Luffy scoffed at Goku's words. "Fight it? He could barely stand up to it!" The evil side of Luffy said as he shot his fist at Goku who disappeared from the spot to reappear behind Luffy.
Retaliating, Goku sent a hard left kick sending Luffy flying but not without using his other hand to grab Goku. "Wah!" Goku shouted as he was being pulled closer to Luffy until he was being suffocated into a bear hug. "Give up now monkey! And I'll make this quick and easy!" the evil side of Luffy grinned continuing his bear hug. Goku gritted his teeth "Ahhh!" He transformed into a super sayian 2 and the bright flames had knocked Luffy off guard and released his grip on Goku.
Goku jumped into the air and slammed the heel of his foot into Luffy's face knocking him down like a building onto the stadium, the stadium was rumbling from the shockwave of the crash and the tiles cracked under the force of Luffy's weight. Goku took a step back and cracked his knuckles. "If talking won't bring out the evil power, then I guessing I'll just have to beat it out of you" Goku smirked.
Luffy got up and spit out a glob of blood from his mouth. The evil side of Luffy smirked back and rushed towards the electric, flamed hair sayian. Luffy went for a strong right but missed as Goku ducked and did a round house kick to Luffy's abdomen, Goku jumped and repeatedly kicked Luffy in the jaw and ended with a spinning scissor kick to his neck.
With Cell's new power infused into Luffy's body, he didn't feel as much pain as he use to, otherwise all those attacks would have hurt tremendously. Goku tried searching through Luffy's mind, he was relieved when he sensed Luffy's soul hadn't completely disappeared, he just needed to stop Cell from feeding Luffy more of his dark powers.
Goku gritted his teeth. "Ha!" Goku shouted as he sent a ki blast away from the stadium, heading straight for Cell. "Why did he shoot it there?" Robin asked "Did he do that by accident?" Nami questioned. Vados narrowed her eyes toward the blast observing what her student was firing at. Seeing the blast, Cell moved out of the way and stopped feeding Luffy his energy, Goku turned around but Luffy was still being held under his control. Cell extended his hand through the cloak and was going to aim at Goku.
*Dash noise* (Lol I don't know what it sounds like maybe wssh or something like that?)
Cell's hand was being subdued "What?" Cell's eyes widened in shock, he turned to see none other than Vados holding his hand firmly. "I would advise not to interrupt my student's match again" Vados released her grip as Cell retracted back wincing from the woman's death grip.
Vados raised her staff at Cell and narrowed her eyes "I could erase you from existence" The staff glowed brightly as Cell moved back ever slowly trying to think of a way to escape but Vados sighed and lowered her staff, with that, the glow died into a glimmer of nothing. "Normally I wouldn't interfere with human conflict, so this time I will give you a chance to live" Cell relaxed for a second only for Vados to push her staff towards his neck.
"But if I see you interfering in matches again, I won't be so generous the next time" Vados threatened. Cell nodded his head under the cloak as sweat dripped from his head, even though he was an android. Vados closed her eyes and smiled. "Good, then I will be off then" Vados turned back and flew back to the stadium leaving the dazed Cell alone. (Ok I'm having Vados still be stronger than Goku and Cell for this story because if I don't, then a lot of people will comment why Cell didn't fight back. Now that we're clear about that)
"Release him now!" Goku shouted as he pinned down Luffy and raised his fist directly at him. Still under mind control, Luffy grinned an evil smile "Not a chance monkey!" Luffy was thrashing around, trying to break free but Goku held him down. Goku gritted his teeth and punched Luffy in the face repeatedly, "What was that suppose to do? Tickle me?" Luffy bellowed out a harsh laugh. Luffy used his legs and stretched towards Goku and wrapped his legs tightly around Goku's neck.
"Ack!" Goku grabbed his neck trying to get loose but he was losing air quickly. Luffy grinned like a mad man. "What? Got nothing to say?!" Luffy tighten his grip, Goku, with a last attempt, raised his hand and grabbed Luffy's face. "HAAA!" Goku managed to shout out, immediately a ki blast exploded from Luffy's face shooting both fighters apart.
Dust formed around the stadium as the crowd had to cover their eyes from the dust entering. As the dust receded they saw Goku cup his hands together and gritted his teeth. "Ka... Me... Ha... Me..." Goku disappeared and appeared behind Luffy. "HAAA!" The energy wave blast from Goku's hand and shot straight at Luffy's back sending towards the stadium wall.
Boom*
Luffy's face slammed straight into the wall underneath the crowd stands, Luffy fell backwards and dropped into the ground. "That's a KO!" Ussop shouted as the straw hats looked down to see their Captain look up with the same crimson red eyes. "Wah!" Chopper jumped into Robin's arms as Luffy got back up. Goku dashed forward and kicked Luffy into the air. (AN: Ok I know a lot of you are going to pissed about what's going to happen next, please remember, this is Cell's power in Luffy's body making him even stronger. So no bashing about why I did this) Goku powered up and his hair started to grow.
"Ahhh!" Goku shouted as his flaming aura started to increase in size and lighting was zooming around his body rapidly. The stands were swaying around at the shaking that Goku was causing. The arena was ripping apart due to the shockwaves being pushed onto the surface causing rock and dust to scatter around Goku and into the crowds. Everyone ducked to avoid being hit as Goku kept powering up.
"Ahhh!" Goku shouted as he exploded into a bright explosion. As everyone looked back up they saw Goku had transformed again. Only Vados and his friends knew he had turned into Super Saiyan 3, everyone else was freaked out by how many transformations Goku had, especially the shichibukai's. Goku launched into the air after Luffy who was falling back down. Goku pushed his knee into Luffy's abdomen and slammed his fists down on Luffy's back.
Luffy fell down into the stadium with a loud thud but Goku was far from done. He retracted his fist back and rushed towards the ground Luffy. "Get out of my friend!" Goku shouted as he extended his fist forward and speared it into Luffy's abdomen.
BOOM*
The stadium cracked into two causing the two sides to fold into a v-shape for a moment before falling back to the ground. Huff* Huff* Goku panted feeling a bit worn out from fighting Luffy. He looked down to see Luffy's mass was slowly decreasing back to his original self. His eyes reverted back from crimson red to normal white.
"Ugh... Wha... What happened...?" Luffy said wincing in pain but not moving as he couldn't move at all. Goku sat up as the announcer tap the microphone back on. "With the match concluded, the winner is Number 85, Son Goku". A wave of whisper with disbelief arose through the crowd to what they saw. Goku got to his feet and aided Luffy back to his feet. "You feel okay Luffy?" Goku asked as he powered down to his base form. "I feel like jelly now" Luffy sarcastically said as he couldn't stand without some assistance.
The straw hats ran to the two and Zoro pulled out the senzu bottle and gave Luffy a bean to eat. Luffy's mass increased and then decreased back to his original form. Luffy gave a sick look. "If it's all the same... I think I'm gonna lie down for awhile" The crew laughed as they were helping Luffy back to his room. Goku released his grip on Luffy while the others held onto him. He glared off into the distance and witnessed Cell staring back at him. Even though Cell's face had been cloaked Goku knew Cell had a smirk written on his face. Gritting his teeth, Goku dashed off the island towards Cell, only to be stopped by Vados holding her staff in front of Goku.
"Now isn't the time to act on emotions Goku, you'll get your shot against him soon." Goku took a long stare at Cell who saluted with two fingers and dashed off before starting right back with Vados. "You know what he did to my friend, he deserves what's coming to him" Goku said coldly. Vados nodded in agreement "Of course, but now isn't the time, this is a time of healing for both you and Luffy, acting irrationally now would cause more problems than solutions Goku" Vados explained calming down the irate sayian. Goku folded his arms and frowned "What would you do if your brother Whis was being controlled by some mechanical freak, wouldn't you want to destroy them for turning your brother against you?" Goku thought that question would hit personally to Vados. Vados smiled "My brother wouldn't be controlled by that person's power, he's too smart to be affected by those" Vados explained. Having nothing else to say, knowing he lost the argument, Goku sighed and pounded his fists together before letting out a determined look.
"Alright then, I'll just have to wait to get some payback for Luffy" Goku said out loud. "Just you wait Cell, just you wait" Goku thought in his head before turning back with Vados and heading back to the island. At Luffy's hotel room, Goku walked into the room and noticed everyone cramping over at a corner where Luffy was sleeping on the bed in an awkward position."Hey guys!" Goku cheerfully but loudly spoke as Nami, Ussop and Chopper nearly fell off the bed because Goku had spooked them.
"What the hell's wrong with you?! Don't you know when to knock!?" Nami shouted as she got back up on her feet and stomped towards Goku menacingly. "Heh... Maybe that wasn't the best thing for me to do" Goku said terrified, looking around for any frying pan Nami could use on him. If there's anything he learned while being on the Straw hat crew is to achieve your goals, always have your friends back, and never anger Nami when she's near a weapon, especially near a frying pan. Nami sighed and walked back with her arms folded "I swear, sometimes Luffy and Goku are two idiots in a pod" Nami said as Goku gave a nervous chuckle while the rest of the crew were trying to hold in their breaths from laughing too hard but failed ultimately.
"Ugh... can you keep it down you guys?" Luffy said waking up with a throbbing headache. Chopper got back on the bed and performed a physical on Luffy before giving his analysis. "Well Luffy's doing much better, his muscles are still sore from the battle but they are healthy as ever, just a few hours of rest and he should feel much better" Chopper spoke before everyone nodded. "Man, how long was I out?" Luffy asked, "About an hour or two" Sanji said as he walked over giving Luffy a gallon of water to drink. Luffy drank it all within a second; "Thanks Sanji" Luffy grinned and gave out a sigh.
Luffy looked up to see Goku and gave a sadden look "Hey... uh Goku... Look I didn't mean all those things I said before, I really didn't know what I was doi..." Luffy was interrupted by Goku "Hey! Don't worry about it, I knew you weren't the one saying it, after all you were being mind controlled" Goku said calmly but taking the crew by surprise. "Mind controlled? By who? Sanji spoke up but Goku nodded his head, "Don't worry about it, Luffy doesn't need to be concerned with this now, he'll learn in all due time" Goku said. With a determined look he smiled and held out his fist towards Luffy, "But I can guarantee you this Luffy, I'm gonna make that person pay for what he did to my captain" Goku said with a smirk. Luffy smirked back and fist bumped Goku "Then show'em why you shouldn't be messed with"
The crew left the hotel and walked towards the dining hall "Alright so I guess the matches will start up now?" Zoro questioned Goku shrugged "Well my match doesn't start up yet so i'm going to get some food" Goku grinned "You mean eat the entire the food court?" Nami sarcastically rolled her eyes. As the crew got closer to the dining hall they noticed a large group surrounding at a corner. "What's everyone looking at?" Chopper asked. "Not sure" Nami said as she tapped someone shoulder to get their attention.
"Yes?" the person said. Nami pointed behind her to where everyone surrounded at a corner. "Ah, that yeah, the remaining competitors had quit and those are the people signing off their names from the competition" "WHAT?!" the crew shouted simultaneously. "Why would they quit all of a sudden? They're almost at the semi finals!" Nami shouted grasping the man by his shirt. "Who wouldn't want to quit, especially if they had to vs. that cloaked freak!" The man said terrified by Nami. She pulled him closer "What do you mean?" She narrowed her eyes as the man began to speak. "Look, it was that cloak guy's turn to go right? All of a sudden his opponent takes the easy way out and forfeits the match, obviously the competitor needing to compete, the announcer had to call up for another fighter to fight the cloaked man but he also forfeited and so on. They knew what was going to happen so they took off before that cloaked guy could have any second thoughts about attacking them." The man said "That's why they're all here, signing off their names from the match ups" The man said as Nami released her grip on him.
Goku couldn't help but put a smile on his face. Even though that means the tournament is now shorter for the men's division, it means he gets a shot at Cell at the finals sooner than expected. "That's gotta be the best news I've heard so far" Goku smirked looking off at the arena. It was only a few minutes until he would face off with Cell, and he would get all his answers questioned when they battle. The crew turned to Goku as he explained that he was still going to battle in the tournament. "Damn right you are, if you give up that prize money I'll never forgive you!" Nami said with a smirk.
The crew walked back to the stadium and shuffled into the stands along with Vados who appeared from the sky and into the stands while Goku took off into the stadium where he saw his opponent folding his arms as if patiently waiting for him. "About time you showed up Son Goku..." Cell thought. The announcer walked into the middle of the stadium between the two warriors to get the attention of the rowdy crowd. "Ladies and Gentlemen! I welcome you to the finals of the 87th Dragon tournament!" The announcer said as an ovation of cheers exploded from the crowd.
The announcer looked at Goku and the Cell "These two mighty warriors will clash with everything they've got to earn the spot and title of Dragon King!" The announcer said pointing to the grand stairway leading to two thrones, one being occupied by the Dragon Queen, Hancock. "I wish you both good luck and the match can begin!" The announcer said running back to his safe zone and sounding off the bell. Briing* the match has officially started.
...
But the two fighters didn't run towards each other, they didn't even walk, they just stared at each other. Goku glared in Cell's eyes as did Cell to Goku. "What are they doing?" Ussop questioned but the crew just shook their heads not understanding either. "They're having a mental brawl" Vados said not taking off her eyes from the two in the arena. "A mental brawl?" Robin asked confused, Vados nodded "Yes Ms. Robin, though they appear not moving with their bodies, they are linked together telepathically and are sparring right now as we speak. "Incredible! I didn't know such thing could happen" Chopper said amazed looking back his friend.
Wham* Cell's body moved back a few inches and Goku's eyes revived with life. Goku went into his stance and waited for Cell's move. (Heads up the crew doesn't know Cell yet and Cell doesn't know Goku has already identified him that will be later in the chapter FYI) Cell dashed towards Goku and launched a left hook only for Goku to raise his left arm to block, to counter Goku struck the palm of his right hand into the cloak of Cell's chest pushing him back a few inches.
Goku disappeared and reappeared within the second and started a left jab to Cell's jaw and then struck with a right jab again to Cell's face, Goku ended it off with a raised kick to Cell's abdomen knocking him back again a few inches. Goku narrowed his eyes, something was wrong here, Cell was definitely strong but he was holding back his powers, he wondered why.
Goku dashed at Cell and struck at Cell's face, only to pass through him "After image?!" Goku thought, he turned around to see Cell raising his knee into Goku's abdomen. Goku winced in pain and pushed back to get some room. As he stepped down on the stadium he felt a sharp pain on his side and fell down to the ground with a loud thud breaking a part of the ring. Goku jumped back up and saw Cell's stretching his muscles, everyone except Vados thought the cloaked figure was mocking Goku by showing he thought it was an easy fight, but Goku knew better, their match was just a warm up for him.
Cell prepared his fighting stance as he was finally ready; Goku though folded his arms "ready to battle for real?" Goku smirked "Cell" When hearing his name it took Cell by surprise, even though he was covered by his cloak, Cell's mouth was opened surprised how Goku knew it was him. A wave of hushed whisper grew around the stadium wondering how Goku knew him. "Has he met him somewhere?" Hancock questioned. Goku placed his arms to his side "So how did you escape?" Goku asked only to receive silence from him. Goku gritted his teeth "Answer me Cell! How did you escape from Hell?!" Goku shouted.
This time, instead of silence he heard a slight chuckle from Cell. Everyone turned their eyes towards Cell as he took his hand and grasped the top of his cloak and ripped it away from him. Everyone except Goku and Vados gasped as they witnessed an android right in front of their eyes. "What is he?" Franky said curiously, He looked at the android from head to toe and knew right there that the android was no joke. "That is high tech right there, more advanced than the ones in my body" Franky said as the crew turned to him in shock.
"Very clever Goku... I never thought you would be that smart to figure out it was me" Cell said with distaste in his voice. Goku scoffed "Yeah, but you made the wrong moves, you showed me techniques only my friends used and you're the only one who's programmed to use those" Goku said as Cell smiled "Brilliant detective skills Goku" Cell sarcastically rolled his eyes. Goku stepped forwards "But you still haven't answered my question, how did you escape from hell and get into this universe?" Goku said.
Cell sighed "Well you see, after my loss against you son, I vowed one day I would get my vengeance on you and your friends the next time I saw you, so I trained down in Hell along side with Frieza and eventually Majin Buu was sent down to Hell as well but kept in quarantine making sure he wouldn't cause any danger like he did when alive." Cell's eyes glimmered "Then an idea came to me, Frieza had told me once his men were retrieving the dragon balls to revive him, so he allowed me to be revived along with him, but I made sure to strengthen Frieza before we left" Cell smirked. "Once his men had gathered the dragon balls I had broken into the quarantine and absorbed majin buu, I received his dimension shout which allowed me to enter into this universe, and his healing regeneration. Once revived and brought back to Earth I double crossed Frieza and absorbed him too in his golden form" Cell said looking as his hand "Allowing me to achieve perfection only few could ever dream off" Cell said looking back at Goku.
Goku gritted his teeth "Then if you were back on Earth that means..." Goku said knowing he might have done something to his family. Cell knowing what he was thinking chuckled a little "Oh don't worry I didn't kill them, I only beat them down until there body couldn't move" Cell said chuckling a little. Goku was angry "You heartless bastard... What happened to the dragon balls?" Goku said hoping for a chance that maybe Dende could have wished them to be okay" Cell smirked "Well let's see... I beat that little Namekian to a pulp but I'm sure he survived, but who knows, he was losing a large amount of blood when I was through with him"
Goku's eyes showed a slight bit of fear before masking it back to his normal self, he turned towards Vados "Vados get in touch with your brother, ask him if my friends and family are okay." Goku said calmly. Vados nodded and looked at her staff and contacted her brother Whis. "Yes, sister they are okay, What you have told me is true, Vegeta tried fighting that man off but sadly was overpowered" Whis said over the communicator. Vados switched off her staff and nodded at Goku "They're safe, the dragon balls were used to restore everything on Earth" Vados said, Goku was relieved his friends were safe but was angry for not being there to help.
Goku powered up in his super sayian form "I'll never forgive you... You hurt my friends and family" gritting his teeth and stared angrily at Cell who just smirked. Goku snapped "LET'S GO CELL!" Goku shouted as he disappeared and reappeared in front of Cell and did an uppercut sending Cell flying, Goku rushed into the air and went for a kick but Cell retaliated by pushing down his elbow into Goku's neck and slamming a ki blast into his abdomen.
Boom* Smoke covered the air as the crowd covered their eyes from the bright lights. As the light faded they looked up to see Cell attacking while Goku countered. Their fight was causing the ground to shake with every punch they landed to each other. Mountains around the island were shattering not able to withstand the insane pressure being pushed onto it. The stands were swaying back and forth while the frightened crowds held onto their seats for dear life. Even Hancock and her sisters had to hold their ground from falling.
Boom* Boom* Boom* Boom*
"This is insane! They could potentially destroy the island at this point!" Brook said holding onto his hat as winds were swirling around the arena caused by the air flow of the punches. The shichibukai's glared at Goku especially Doflamingo who still resented Goku for humiliating him not once but twice. "Argh!" Cell winced in pain when Goku punched him in the cheek; in retaliation Cell cupped his fingers together "Final..." Goku eyes widened. He put his two fingers to his head and I.T back to the ground and cupped his hands "Ka... Me... Ha... Me..." Goku said. Immediately Cell disappeared and reappeared a few meters from Goku as they both shouted sending their ki techniques at each other.
The blast was intense as neither side would back down. Goku transformed into a Super Sayian 2 and pushed even more power into the blast, Cell powered up too equalizing the power between the two fighters, eventually the blast was becoming too unstable and exploded within the arena scattering tiles and parts of the arena into the crowds. Terrified the crowds ducked their heads but soon realized Vados had placed a shield over the stands keeping everyone safe from the vicious battle.
As the dust receded, everyone saw Goku standing as well as Cell staring at each other again. "I didn't expect you to be this strong Goku, but I must tell you I've been holding back, just like you have" Goku chuckled "I knew it there's no way that was your full potential, otherwise I would have been disappointed" Goku folded his arms "So how about it now more tricks, no reserves, we fight at our best" Goku said with a serious tone. Cell cracked his neck "As you wish" Goku clenched his fist together and was powering up to his god form. "Ahh!" Goku shouted as his body and hair were enflamed with a light blue aura. His hair and eyes had turned blue and his build had increased in mass by a small amount, but none the less, Goku had turned in a Super Sayian god Super Sayian.
Cell smirked "Blue hair now?" Cell chuckled "What next, Super Sayian Pink?" (Goku black scratching his head whistling) Goku chuckled back "Nope this is my ultimate form, we're fighting at our best, so I'm gonna bring out the best" Goku said as Cell sighed and clenched his fist together. "HAAAAAAA!" Cell shouted as a dark purple aura surrounded him. His body color was changing from green into a shade of midnight purple , his body armor plate had turned into a carbon black, a cover had grew over his face, covering only his mouth and nose but leaving only his eyes with a crimson red. His body became leaner and his tail grew out and landed on the ground.
"Finally..." Cell opened his eyes and did a stance resembling what Frieza usually does. "I have achieved perfection that has surpassed gods!" Goku smirked "Then let's put that to the test shall we?" Goku disappeared along with Cell. Boom* Boom* they disappeared and reappeared around the sky repetitively punching and swinging kicks at each other. Their battle was intense as the ground was shaking violently that everyone except vados had fallen from the force.
Goku kicked at Cell's neck who disappeared and reappeared with his hands in the air "Destructo disk!" Cell shouted as he sent two red disks after the Sayian warrior. Goku flew away as the destructo disk followed. Goku dashed at Cell who suddenly made a third destructo disk and shot it straight at the airborne fighter. "Goku!" Hancock cried out as she saw him being struck by the disks. Goku was struck with the disk three times until his image suddenly was gone. Cell smirked "Not this time Goku" Cell said as he shot the three disks behind him and once again shot through Goku. The same result appeared as Goku's image had disappeared.
Cell was shocked "But I sensed..." "You'll never learn will you?" Goku's voice was heard in a distance. Everyone turned their head to see Goku with his leg leaned over a rock and his arm on his knee. Hancock sighed in relief that he was okay, she cupped her hands together. "Goku! We're counting on you!" The saiyan heard his friend and turned to her with a smile and gave her a thumb up. Cell gritted his teeth "Ignorant fool, just be quiet!" Cell said as he shot a ki blast towards Hancock and her sisters.
"No! They turn to dust!" Sanji shouted, Goku glared at the blast as the empress and her sister's closed their eyes waiting for the blast to reach them. Boom* the three sisters opened their eyes and were shocked to what they witnessed. Goku was right in front of them with his hand out; he had deflected the beam away from them. Goku turned his head towards the three sisters "Are you alright?" The three sisters nodded as Goku turned back to face Cell. "Attacking someone while they're defenseless? That low, even for you Cell" Goku said hovering back to Cell slowly.
Cell prepared his fighting stance "Do I look like I care?" Goku prepared his fighting stance "You're going to after I'm through with you" Goku rushed at Cell who raised his arms in a defense position. Goku sent a flurry of fists and kicks at Cell's direction. Goku did a roundhouse kick to Cell's abdomen sending him flying towards the outside. "Ah! He's going out!" Luffy shouted. Cell reached towards the stands before disappearing and reappearing back on the arena. Vados narrowed her eyes as she had seen something that not even Goku had seen.
Cell jumped back to his feet and started to split into four versions of him. The crowd was surprised that Cell was able to split into 4 versions of him; the 4 Cell's went to every corner of Goku. Goku looked around and smirked "Nice try Cell, but I learned from our last battle" Goku crossed his arms to make an x and split himself into 4 versions as well. "What?!" the 4 Cell's gritted their teeth. As the 4 Goku's split completely they were back to back with each other before rushing off to their own assigned Cell.
"This is incredible! There are 4 versions of them!" Zoro shouted as they tried keeping up with the eight fighters but could barely keep up with two out of the eight. Left and right Goku slammed his fists into Cell's face and moving back and forth switching around to take on different Cell's. Wham* Goku slammed Cell down into the stadium and bombarded it with ki blasts shaking the island to its core. The other Goku's did the same and kicked the 3 other cell's into the stadium and bombarded it with their own ki blasts.
Eventually they stopped and the dust was rising into the air as the four Goku's came together and re-fused with each other. The dust exploded away from the arena and Goku noticed Cell with his hands out wards pushing the dust away. Cell looked up and smirked "Looks like I really underestimated you Son..." Goku I.T back to the stadium and readied his stance. Goku rushed towards Cell and went for a strong right who dodged it to do a roundhouse kick to Goku's face, Goku back flipped away to then come back to slam his foot down at Cell who disappeared and reappeared within the second behind Goku with two fingers to his head "Special beam cannon!" Cell shouted.
A ki energy beam went straight at Goku who turned around and slapped it away from him and into the air as it exploded into bright colors. Cell would attack while Goku counter attacks, their blows causes the ground to shake and rocks start to break apart due to the shock waves created by both fighters. Goku slams his fist into Cell's chest and Cell retaliates with a kick to Goku's abdomen. Both break off to then continue their fight. Goku rushes towards Cell and lashed out his leg at Cell who blocked the attack with his hand. The force of the attack caused a large crater to form underneath them.
Cell released his grip on Goku and super kicked Goku in his face sending him flying. Wham* a wave of gasps had erupted from the crowd to what they were witnessing. "Ergh my head..." Goku rubbed his head before he got up. He looked around and saw the crowd's reaction and was confused until he looked down. Goku was out of the ring. The announcer could barely say the words to what he saw, "G... Goku is out of the ring, it's a ring out! Number 75 wins the men's division of the tournament"
Goku was shocked, he actually had lost to Cell, and he looked up and received a smugged look from Cell. "Not exactly" A female voice was overheard from everyone. Goku turned around to see Vados hovering over to Goku. "What do you mean Vados, I stepped out of the ring, it's a ring out, and I lost fair and square" Goku said. Vados nodded "that may be true, but your opponent was the first to step out of the ring first" Vados said holding out her staff. A bright glow appeared from the orb and showed a previous fight between Goku and Cell during their match. "You see" Vados pointed to the picture showing when Goku roundhouse kicked Cell out of the arena and then Cell suddenly disappeared and reappeared in the stadium.
Goku frowned "I don't understand what you're showing" Vados enhanced the picture showing Cell a millisecond before he had disappeared. A wave a whispers appeared from the crowd. There it was, Cell's foot had pushed off the stand and back into the stadium. "He touched the stands" Vados explained. Goku catching on finished her sentence. "The stands isn't a part of the ring, so he went out of bounds" Goku smiled "So I actually won" Vados nodded and smiled. "But wait why you waited so long to tell everyone about it" Goku asked. Vados winked "Because the match would have been over before it even began"
The announcer went back on the microphone, "due to new evidence, I am changing the winner of the men's division in the Dragon Tournament; the real winner is number 85, Son Goku!" The announcer said happily. An ovation of claps came from the crowd as they jumped over the stands and ran over to Goku to congratulate him. As they were doing so, a cliché slow clap was heard from the other side of the arena. "Good job Son Goku, but you know our match isn't over right?" Cell said not taking his eyes off Goku. Some of the spectators got in front of Goku "What 'ya mean he beat you fair n' square!" one of the spectator shouted "Yeah! You're just mad you didn't beat him and become Dragon King!" another spectator shouted.
Goku brushed past them and stood in front of them "Yes I know Cell" Goku waved his hand signaling everyone to get away as quickly as possible. Goku knew it was a fight to the death. Everyone understood and ran back to the stands as Goku and Cell prepared their stand to fight to the death. "It doesn't have to end like this Cell" Goku tried reasoning with Cell. "I don't care... I'm going to humiliate you like you did to me" Cell dashed towards Goku and went for a kick but Goku moved to the side and did a bicycle kick to Cell's chest sending him away from the stadium and into a mountain that was now rubble.
Goku flew into the air and after Cell as everyone else was watching a 'bonus match' that would only have one survivor. Hancock clasped her hands together and was silently praying for Goku on a successful victory and would make it out alive. Goku hovered over the rubble, immediately lights appeared from the cracks of the rock and then suddenly the rubble exploded to different sides. Goku looked down and saw Cell was powering up even more.
Cell shot up into the air and extended his hands sending hundreds of ki blasts towards Goku. Goku dashed away from the ki blasts towards the sea as they were causing large explosions around the ocean and large rumbling was occurring in the island as well. Goku flew around awhile before rushing towards the ki blasts and sending out some of his own energy blasts hitting some of Cell's attacks causing a huge explosion that blurred everyone's vision momentarily. Goku dashed towards Cell and punched him which he blocks with his arm, Cell tried punching Goku in the face but he blocks it with his fists causing both of them to move back a little.
Goku and Cell caught each other's hand and started to see who submit to the other in a test of strength but nobody was backing down. Goku and Cell were causing the ground to shake; the ocean was swirling around beneath them like a cyclone and rocks were breaking apart and started floating in the air. "AHHH!"Goku yelled as he grabbed Cell by the arm and started swinging him back towards the stadium and he landed with a loud thud.
Goku had enough; he cupped his hands together and put all his power into this one attack "Ka... Me... Ha... Me..." Goku gritted his teeth and disappeared and reappeared right behind Cell and lashed out a kick sending Cell into the air. "HAAAAAAAA!" Goku shouted as he sent his kamehameha attack into the air and after Cell. "Sh... shi-" Cell didn't finish his sentence before he was engulfed by the blast that would have destroy the world.
BOOM* The explosion was intense as everyone but Goku and Vados were being pushed off the ground and all around the place. Zoro slammed his sword into the ground to keep him and his crew mates in place. Hancock's sisters Marigold and Sandersonia made themselves a human wall to keep their older sister safe. The air pressure subsided and everyone landed back on the ground barely getting up but was still trying until they were successful.
Huff* Huff* Huff* Goku panted, his power was draining as the smoke was building up in the air. He didn't move, "Why do I feel your power?" Goku looked around left and right but couldn't pin point where he was feeling Cell's power. "He... He won!" Ussop shouted happily, everyone except the shichibukai's jumped for joy as they thought Goku had won. Hancock happily ran down the grand stair case and hugged the Sayian. "I'm so glad you're okay" The empress blushed slightly.
Goku's eyes widened "Everyone get back now! Cell's still alive!" Goku shouted shocking everyone that he said this. They took a step back and saw the dust in the air swirling around them. Immediately it rushed down into the ground forming into a person. Chopper was terrified "No! It can't be!" The dust formed back into a body and the figure had a dark aura surrounding it before it faded showing Cell. "You just got to love regeneration don't you Goku?" Cell looked up at Goku with a smugged look.
"Now I'd suggest you get these people out of here before I do it for you" Cell smirked. Goku motioned his hand and the crowds left the stadium as the stands were destroyed, they stayed near close vicinity where they could still witness the battle. Goku was wobbling as he couldn't stand for long; Goku noticed Cell was shaking a little too. "You're losing energy rapidly Goku!" Cell smirked, "So are you Cell" Goku retorted. "Tsk Tsk Tsk you really shouldn't waste your energy on me with such futile techniques" Cell waved his pointer finger at Goku.
Goku tried steadying his power level "We'll see what's futile or not Cell" Goku said preparing his fighting stance. Cell jumped into the air and shot out a destructo disk at Goku. Goku jumped into the air dodging it but again it followed him around. Goku flew into the air while the disk followed him. "Sometimes I hate that technique..." Goku muttered under his breath. Goku did a 180 degree turn and went straight back down towards Cell along with the disk. Cell laughed "You think I'll fall for that trick, you covering my sight and I would get him by the destructo disk" Goku smirked "You got one part right!" Goku said as he shot an energy blast not at the ground but at Cell's face.
Cell lost his concentration on maneuvering the disk to block the attack. "Just in time" Goku smirked, he places his two fingers to his head and I.T behind Cell. "What?!" Cell didn't anticipate that. Goku uppercut him right in front of the rouge disk cutting through Cell. It was a clean cut as it went through Cell's abdomen and cut him into two pieces. Goku taking advantage sent a ki blast attack down at Cell destroying him once again.
Goku was tired, battered and bruised but he had one last trick up his sleeve. He hovered into the air and raised his hands in the air. "Please I summon upon the energy from all living things on this earth, please lend me a bit of your energy" Goku requested. Everyone looked up and saw Goku with his hands in the air, "What's Goku doing?" Hancock questioned. Goku looked down to see everyone still on the island. "Everyone listen to me! I need you to lend me your energy, raise your hand into the air and allow me to borrow your energy to defeat Cell" Goku shouted. Without hesitation his friends raised their hands in the air allowing him to borrow their energy, eventually everyone and the Dragon Queen lent their energy except the shichibukai's didn't. "Doflamingo I need a little bit more power, please!" Goku pleaded but Doflamingo scoffed.
"I thought you were all powerful, why can't you do this by yourself?" Doflamingo was a bit prideful and didn't want to give his energy to help his enemy and Goku knew it. Goku gritted his teeth. "Doflamingo who do you want to see lose! ME or THE ENTIRE WORLD!" Goku shouted shocking everyone that he came to that conclusion already. Doflamingo gritted his teeth as he would have to swallow his pride and lend his powers along with the other shichibukai's. "Fine! Take it! But Goku finish him now!" Doflamingo said as he raised his hand along with the other remaining shichibukai's. Goku sighed and smiled. "Thank you everyone" Once all the energy was borrowed Goku morphed it into a spirit bomb, 2 times larger than the one he used against Majin buu, it was infused with his godly ki and the with the help of the planet and its people.
Everyone was shocked to see how massive the spirit bomb was, it was indescribable to them. Goku looked up and noticed the dust forming together and landing back to the ground. "Oh no you don't" Goku said as he pointed down, with that the spirit bomb started moving slowly towards Earth. Howe ever Goku I.T in front of the morphing Cell. His aura was not only enflamed by his blue state but now was flickering red. Goku was powering up "Kaio-Ken!" Goku's body mixed with the Godly ki he had already with the Kaio ken power multiplying his powers exponentially.
Cell refused and looked up in the air and saw the spirit bomb. He started to laugh "You think I'm gonna wait around until ugh!" Cell was struck in the abdomen by Goku's knee "No, that's why..." Goku started as he reached down and grabbed Cell by the ankle "IM GOING TO THROW YOU IN IT!" Goku shouted as he threw Cell towards the Spirit bomb.
Goku bent his knees and cupped his hands together. "Ka... Me...Ha...Me...HAAAA!" Goku shouted extending his hands forward; launching the kamehameha wave directly into Cell's back sending him even faster into the spirit bomb. Cell was putting up a fight but couldn't muster enough energy to free him. "Ergh when I get out of this!" Cell shouted. Veins appeared on Goku's face "KAIO-KEN X3" Goku's kamehameha received an enormous boost knocking Cell off balance and straight into the spirit bomb where no smoke could escape and allow him to reform.
BOOM* Cell had been eradicated and that would be the last time the straw hats would ever see of him. Goku still wobbling let out a grin before letting down his kaioken blue state and falling to one knee taking in large amounts of air into his lungs. Everyone got back up wondering if Cell had been defeated. They looked at Goku's face and the answer when they saw his grin. "GOKU!" Everyone shouted happily running towards him; finally peace was restored in Dragon Island.
A few hours had passed and the island was restored thanks to Vados repairing it all with the help of her staff. She said her goodbyes and took off leaving the crew to go to the dining hall. Nami came out dragging the announcer with her "I think someone needs to be introduced a proper winning title" Nami smirked as the crew grinned. The announcer gulped nervously "would the winner's of the Dragon tournament please come to the front" The announcer said.
A rise of cheers arose as Goku and Hancock walked to the announcer, he raised their hands up in the air "It it with great pleasure I name these two this year's winner. The Dragon Queen, Boa Hancock and the Dragon King, Son Goku!" The announcer said with a smiled on his face hoping it was acceptable to Nami's standard as she freaked him out. The crowds cheered continuously, Goku smiled and waved at the crew. Hancock smiled, crossed her arm into Goku's and placed her head on his shoulder; sadly Goku still didn't understand what she was doing.
The Dragon tournament was officially over; the shichibukai had left before the inauguration of the winners. Everyone head back to their ship to leave. Sanji was crying as he had to leave all the beauties he had saw in the island. Nami was crying because she had to leave all the fashion stores. Luffy was crying as he had to leave the buffet room. The straw hats were the one of the last people to leave the island. Goku wanted to take one last look at the Dragon tournament. "This place had many strong opponents; I hope I get to meet them again someday!" Goku smiled. "Goku! It's time to go!" Ussop's voice was heard. The sayian sighed and was walking back to the ship. As Goku walked towards the ship. "Wait Goku!" A female voice was heard behind him. The sayian turned around to see it was Hancock and her two sister's Marigold and Sandersonia.
"Hey! I thought you three were gone already?" Goku asked walking back down the ship. The crew walked towards the edge and saw Goku was talking to Hancock the shichibukai. As Sanji walked towards the edge he passed out from seeing Hancock, thankfully Chopper was there to help resuscitate him. Hancock cupped her face and blushed slightly "Not with saying good bye of course..." Hancock shook her head and stared at the sayian "But that's not all I wanted to do" She walked towards the Sayian.
"Goku... Will you make an exception and allow me to join your crew?" Hancock asked (A.N I'm sure you were expecting her to say something else right? I'm sure I got most of you lol)
"What?!" Her sisters were taken aback by her question. "Big sister! Are you sure you want to do this? I mean who will you appoint as Queen temporarily?" Marigold asked. Hancock smiled at her sisters "Yes this is what I desire, to be with him on his journey" Hancock said quietly with her sisters "And I appoint the leadership to the both of you, I know you two won't disappoint me!" Hancock smiled.
Goku was surprised his friend wanted to join him and his crew on their journey. Goku turned his head towards the crew and they gave their sign of approval with a thumb up. Goku smiled and turned back to the Empress. He placed his hand in front of her to shake. "Welcome to the Straw Hat Crew Hancock!" Goku grinned. Hancock smiled and turned to her sisters and gave them one last hug. "We wo... won't let you down big sis" Marigold said tearing up a little. "We Promise" Sandersonia said tearing up too.
With their last good bye, Hancock crossed her arm into Goku's and they walked into the ship. Hancock took one last glance waving at her sister's before her, Goku and the rest of the crew walked in front of the ship to discuss their new destinations. "Man this is great, this'll be like at Amazon Island all over again!" Goku grinned and Luffy nodded. "Anyways where should we go now?" Chopper asked.
"Well I heard a distress call from the communicator so I want to go there!" Luffy said excitedly. Nami slammed his head to the ground, "Idiot we don't know if that could be a trap or not!" Luffy slowly got up "It can still be fun..." Luffy said. "Yeah I agree with Luffy on this one" Robin smiled which took everyone by surprise that she would agree with Luffy's erratic decision making. "SEE EVEN ROBIN AGREE'S" Luffy grinned. Nami sighed and gave up.
Goku smiled and raised his fist in the air "Alright! Next adventure a distress call!" Goku said. The crew started to laugh as they were on their way to a new adventure with their new crew member, Boa Hancock.
End of part 2! I hope you enjoy this chapter! I thought about actually bringing along Hancock into the Straw hat crew originally but I thought nobody would like it. Surprisingly, a lot of you liked the idea! So I hope you enjoy how I played it through, FYI still making Goku oblivious to Hancock's affections for him, I thought it would be better if I left it like that instead of making him noticing it. Please leave a review on how you thought the chapter was, tell me if it was good or bad. With everything out of the way, Thanks and Enjoy!
