Chapter 18: Lunch Break

After several more matches, it was lunchtime, and the contestants from each universe gathered together.

Majin Buu loved candy, and the table was filled with various sweets.

Super Namekian Gast's table was filled with juice. Anyway, Namekians didn't need to eat.

On one of the tables, Babidi was shouting angrily, "Buu, stop turning all the dishes into candy."

Cell stood on his platform, with two small Cells beside him, not planning to eat anything.

Android 17 complained while eating noodles, "We never get to eat good food like this."

Android 18 replied, "And whose fault is it that there are no good cooks back on Earth?" 

Most universes are normal food, while the Saiyans ate the most, and the entire table was being emptied very quickly.

The Vegeta-Kakarot trio from Universe Thirteen also upheld their usual gluttonous abilities.

The situation in Universes Eighteen, Nineteen, and Twenty was similar, with the others watching Vegeta and Goku devour food.

Only Universe Eighteen had an extra Gogeta, and Universe Nineteen had an extra Vegito.

Super Piccolo couldn't help but ask.

"Gogeta, who do you think will enter the top four in this tournament?"

Super Piccolo didn't ask who would win the final victory. Although Vegito looked very strong, Piccolo still didn't think he could surpass Gogeta.

The reason was simple. Vegito had probably not encountered a God of Destruction because there were only a few of them. So he also didn't have the Super Saiyan God transformation.

Gogeta stuffed food into his mouth while answering vaguely. "There's also Vegito, Super Goku and Vegeta, GT Goku and Vegeta, the two who haven't shown up from Universe Twenty-One, and that guy from Universe Twenty-Two."

Gohan glanced at Super Buu with some trepidation. This guy's power must be very strong.

"What about Super Buu?"

Gogeta took a sip of his drink and smoothed down the food. "Not much. He has some strength, but if we weren't participating, he might have a chance."

Super Goku said while eating, "Broly is a very good opponent. I wonder how long he's been sleeping."

Super Goku didn't become complacent just because he had defeated Broly more than ten years ago.

Gogeta replied, "I don't know how long Broly has been frozen or how much stronger he has become."

Broly's combat power would continue to increase over time. Whether there was a limit or not was unknown, but it was certain that he could become very strong.

Super Vegeta was very conceited about his strength. "Hmph, in front of me, no matter who he is, there is only one path: defeat."

Gogeta considered more things. "It doesn't matter. Broly, that madman, will surely attack the audience. When that happens, he will be sent back to his own universe. We won't have to fight him."

The initiators of the martial arts tournament, the Vargas and the Supreme Kais of Universe One, have developed an atomic separation machine.

This was to prevent disobedient fighters from causing trouble. They would be turned into atoms and sent back to their own universes.

Super Goten curiously asked, "Gogeta, do you not have the confidence to win?"

Gogeta said, "Well if Broly has been getting constant Zekais for so long, he could be the strongest, and defeating him might cause me some trouble."

Super Goten asked, "But if you fought him, would you lose?

Gogeta said, "Nah, I'd win."

In Universe 19, Piccolo asked Vegito who would be the final winner.

Vegito didn't even think before saying, "Of course, that's me. Victory will be mine."

Universe 19: Piccolo glanced at Gogeta with some apprehension, guessing it wouldn't be so simple for their side to win.

"But Gogeta is also there. Are you confident you can beat him?"

Vegito waved his hand.

"He's not simple. If he goes full power, it might be a little draining to defeat him."

Piccolo asked, "But what would you lose?"

Vegito said, "Nah, I would win. 

...

Super Goku was eating when he saw the char siu near Super Vegeta's hand and casually tossed it into his mouth.

"Vegeta, you weren't eating this, right?"

Vegeta said, "Damn it, you dare eat my char siu!"

Vegeta grabbed a handful of things and ate them. Coincidentally, this included the sushi that Super Goku was saving for last.

Goku stood up. "Vegeta, that was the one I was saving for last!"

Super Vegeta didn't back down an inch, standing up and suppressing Super Goku's aura.

"That was the char siu. I was going to slowly savor. Do you want to fight?"

Super Goku instantly transformed into a Super Saiyan, his aura once again overwhelming Vegeta.

"We're partners, aren't we?"

"This is different."
