Is There Something Fishy About the Spiritual Fruit?

"Not very good."

Renkai looked at Dales with a mocking expression, as if saying, You're dreaming.

"You're a bad guy! I won't help you!"

Little Goku spoke firmly.

"Then I'll have to ask you to die."

Dales shook his head, feigning regret.

"Are you done talking? Let's start the fight. Goku, that black-armored guy who won't stop yapping is yours, and I'll handle his subordinates."

Renkai smirked at Dales and his men.

"Brother, I'll definitely take down the bad guy's boss!"

Little Goku charged forward with determination.

Dales was about to command his subordinates to attack when several piercing Qigong waves crisscrossed through the battlefield.

The remaining henchmen were all eliminated instantly—each struck through the head by Renkai's Dodon Ray, falling lifelessly to the ground.

With Dales' men taken care of, Renkai didn't interfere in the battle that had already begun. Instead, he turned his thoughts to the fruit of the Spirit Tree.

Dales had ravaged many planets across the universe, planting Spirit Trees to absorb their life force and consume the fruits for power.

Yet, after devouring so many, his combat strength barely exceeded 30,000.

But now, a single fruit from Earth's Spirit Tree could provide hundreds of thousands of power?

That doesn't add up.

Did Earth really possess that much vitality to nourish the Spirit Tree?

Or was there something different about Earth compared to other planets?

Meanwhile, Little Goku, now bathed in blood-red energy, had learned from previous fights and immediately activated Kaio-ken, launching a relentless assault on a panicked Dales.

With a thunderous punch to the face, Dales' nose cracked audibly, and blood streamed down in a long trail.

It was as if he had stepped onto the road and been hit by a speeding truck.

Dales was sent flying, crashing through several thick branches of the Spirit Tree before slamming into the ground.

Touching his bleeding nose, Dales cursed, "Brat, you've really pissed me off!"

But deep inside, he was shocked by Goku's power.

There's no way I can beat him!

It was time to pull out his trump card!

Rather than running, Dales reached into his armor-like battle suit, pulled out a Spirit Fruit, and took a bite.

Nothing.

He had bitten into thin air.

"Let's see what's so special about this fruit grown on Earth."

Just as Dales was about to power up, Renkai locked onto his energy and used Instant Transmission to intercept the process.

Now possessing the abilities of both Kami and King Kai, Renkai could easily see through anything suspicious.

Wait a minute…

Upon examining the fruit he had snatched from Dales, he noticed something off.

Besides absorbing Earth's vitality, most of the fruit's energy was something else entirely—an unfamiliar energy that did not belong to this planet.

It's pink?

Could it be that the Spirit Tree had absorbed Majin Buu's energy, which was sealed on Earth? Was that why the fruit's power far exceeded those grown on other planets?!

Majin Buu is sealed on Earth!

"Is it really safe to eat a fruit infused with Buu's energy?"

Renkai touched his chin, hesitant.

He wouldn't take Majin Buu lightly.

Better to let someone else test it first.

"Goku, is Dales dead yet? If not, hold on—he's still useful."

"I got it, Brother!"

Little Goku, who had been holding Dales by the collar and pummeling him, immediately stopped.

Dales was indeed strong, but as a Saiyan warrior, his strength came from eating rather than fighting—making him far less impressive in battle.

By now, his armor-like battle suit was full of cracks, and his swollen face barely resembled his former self.

Glaring at Goku with swollen eyes, Dales sneered, "You brat… If you hadn't stolen my Spirit Fruit—"

Crack!

A piece of fruit smacked him on the forehead.

"Here, take it back."

Renkai tossed a small jar to Goku.

"There are Senzu Beans inside. Your next fight will be your hardest yet—I suggest keeping a few in your mouth."

"Got it, Brother!"

Goku caught the jar and obediently followed the advice.

"You'll regret this! And you, Kakarot brat!"

Dales roared and took a huge bite of the Spirit Fruit.

As he swallowed, a surging energy erupted from within him.

His already muscular body swelled even further.

"Hahaha! Your deaths are here!"

Dales clenched his fists as overwhelming power coursed through him. He squeezed the remaining half of the fruit, causing its juice to splatter.

"This strength… even Frieza is nothing compared to me!"

At that moment, Dales felt like he could take on the entire universe.

"Heh… You ate one fruit and already think you're stronger than Frieza?"

Renkai laughed and used his Scouter to measure Dales' new combat power.

Beep! Beep!

Dales: Combat Power - 350,000

Dales smirked. "After I finish off Kakarot's brat, it'll be your turn, Earthling trash!"

"So strong! I have to give it my all!"

Facing this newfound strength, Little Goku took a deep breath, his fighting spirit soaring.

At this moment, Dales was undoubtedly the strongest opponent he had ever faced.

The blood-red aura surrounding him flared even brighter.

20x Kaio-ken!

Beep! Beep!

Son Goku: Combat Power - 125,000 (20x Kaio-ken)

"You've improved, kid… but you're still not my match!"

Dales grinned wickedly.

His figure vanished—then instantly reappeared, cheek-to-cheek with Goku.

"Hah!"

Goku roared and launched a powerful Kaio-ken-infused punch straight at Dales' face.

No damage.

Dales grinned condescendingly.

In a flash, he drove his knee straight into Goku's stomach.
