After a day of travel, Krillin, Son Goku, Master Roshi and launch finally arrived at the venue of the World's Martial Arts Tournament.
As soon as they arrive, Master Roshi took Krillin and Goku to the registration point to sign up. At this time, Krillin saw a man with a wild main of hair and a scar, another blue haired woman, a humanoid pig and a blue cat flying in the sky at the registration point.
'These four, they have to be Yamcha, Bulma, Oolong and Puar! It's awesome seeing my favorite childhood characters in real life!'
When Bulma and the other four saw Goku and Krillin, they immediately came over to greet them, "Long time no see, Goku, Master Roshi, Launch, who is this?" Bulma asked when she saw the bald Krillin.
"This is my fellow disciple and friend, Krillin!" Goku replied childishly.
"Hello, my name is krillin." He introduced himself formally,
"Okay meet and greet later, you two should go sign up!" Master Roshi urged.
Krillin, Goku and Yamcha went to sign up. After confirming the registration information, they went to the designated hotel to rest. Master Roshi used the excuse of going to the bathroom, but actually secretly signed up under the name of Jackie Chan.
Soon, Krillin and his group arrived at the hotel to rest. At this time, Master Kame took out two sets of red robes with the word "turtle" on them.
"These are the clothes I prepared before. You should wear them in the competition tomorrow, but don't ruin the reputation of the Hermit style!"
Goku, who originally only had one or two sets of clothes, was extremely happy when he saw new clothes. "Thank you, Master Muten." Goku said with an excitable giggle.
Krillin, who was standing next to him, also took the clothes, his eyes gleaming in excitement. "Thank you, Master Roshi."
Accepting the orange Gi's seemed to fully lock in the idea that this was all real and not a figments of his imagination, he felt nostalgia at the clothes but also overwhelming excitement for the future!
"You must do your best in the competition, take a good rest today and recharge your energy. Especially you Krillin, you swam the whole way here after saying your body was sore."
"Understood master!" Krillin answered honestly, ready to fall asleep at the first chance he got.
*****
The next morning, Krillin and his friends arrived at the venue early. Since the preliminaries were held inside the venue, only the contestants were allowed to enter.
Bulma, Oolong, Puar, launch, and Master Roshi could only wait outside for the results. Roshi used the excuse of having a stomachache to go to the toilet, but in fact he was going to disguise himself as Jackie Chan to participate in the competition!
(Inside the venue)
"This competition is divided into the preliminaries and the quarterfinals. There are a total of 8 arenas in the preliminaries, the one who is knocked off the arena or unable to get up for more than 10 seconds is declared the loser." There was a pause of silence to allow the contestants to process what was said.
"The quarterfinals will be participated by the strongest fighters in each arena of today's preliminaries, and will be held in the big arena outside. The quarterfinals will last for a total of three days. The rules are the same as the preliminaries. The one who is knocked off the arena or unable to get up for more than 10 seconds is declared the loser. Does everyone understand?" The referee with brown hair and a pair of big sunglasses explained to everyone.
This referee is exactly the same as in the Dragon Ball anime. The rules of the World Martial Arts Tournament are also the same Krillin thought.
Getting no questions from the contestants, the referee continued.
"The number drawing will begin now!"
Multiple lines were formed Infront of desks that had a box on it.
The contestants would draw a paper from the box that had a number on it, the contestants would then file a single line Infront of a large board and they'd right down where they'd be placed.
After ten minutes, the contestants had finished drawing. Krillin was drawn to arena number 4, Goku to are a number 6, Yamcha to arena number 1, and Jackie Chan to arena number 3.
'Fortunately no one is in the same arena as me, I seriously doubt I'd even be able to defeat Yamcha!' Krillin had adapted more to his new body and raised his power level to 52, but he still hasn't even reach the original krllen level yet!
"Hold on a second, isn't this Krillin?" A malicious voice came up from behind.
Krillin and his companions looked closely and saw three bald monks walking towards them.
According to the memory of the original Krillin, these three monks were the three who bullied him put of the Monk Temple.
Because Krillin was small and weak in the past, he was often bullied by these three brothers. The one in the middle of the three was the eldest brother, the one on the left was the second brother, and the one on the right was the third brother.
"Krillin, don't you even say hello when you see your senior brother?" The second senior Monk said viciously.
"I am no longer a fellow disciple, I am now a member of the turtle hermit school." Krillin replied firmly.
The eldest monk looked at the number in Krillins hand and smiles "Oh, in the same ring as me I see! Looks like you'll have to be carried out of the arena on a stretcher then, it'll just like the good old days back at the monastery!" The monks voice was condescending.
Hearing the the monks attempted at mockery, Krillin just casually shook head as he looked at the monks feeble power level.
Will he still hasn't full adapted to this body, he knew he knew defeating someone with a power level of 17 wasn't gonna be a challenge at all..
[Scenario detected, now issuing a quest: Defeat the eldest monk in the arena within 10 seconds. Task reward: one Senzu bean.
Does the host accept the task? Y/N]
Krillin immediately chose yes, It was basically asking Krillin if he wanted a free senzu bean with the strength difference between him and his opponent.
[The host accepts the mission] .
"Krillin, did you know them before?" The monkey tailed boy asked.
"They were my three seniors when I trained at the monastery. They always bullied me because I was weak, but that ends today" Krillin voice was confident.
"If anything of them are in my arena, I'll be them up extra hard then! Then we'll advance to the quarterfinals together to compete for the championship." Goku encouraged Krillin.
"Thanks, let's work hard together!" Krillin patted Goku on the shoulder.
Waiting around for everything to get sorted out, Krillin watched as Goku got called to the arena while he waited beside his own ring.
"Krillin, please come on stage." Hearing the announcer call his name, he began walk up the arena steps and met his opponent.
Opposite him was an incredibly muscular man who weighed at least 400lb.
"Little boy, you should go home and drink your mother's milk, or I may kill you by accident." The muscular man wanted to get into Krillins head.
"Thank you for your concern but I'd also like to give you the same chance to leave, for your own safety." Unlike the man's threat, Krillin really meant his warning. He still wasn't fully used to his body and was worried he might accidentally kill this man.
The muscular man let out a snort of anger, dismissing the boys warning and instead enter his combat stance as the referee raised his hands up.
"Begin!" the referee ordered.
The tense leg of Krillin exploded him forward towards his opponent, time seemed to freeze as his perception increased drastically. As he arrived before the man, the mans body couldn't react to Krillind speed, all he could do is widen his eyes in shock as Krillins fists landed square into his abdomen.
The muscular man was sent flying out of the arena and slammed into the ground, the whole process was over in less than a second!
The stun locked referee watched with agaped mouth before quickly recovering. "Krillins wins!"
'Thank God I barely put any strength behind that punch, if I actually went full force I probably would've punched straight through his chest!' Sweaty from this shocking realization, he began walking off the stage.
"I didn't expect this kid to be so awesome," muttered the contestant below.
On the other side, Goku also defeated his opponent. Seeing Krillin had also won easy, Gokus smiled an ear to ear grin.
The eldest brother of Monk Temple was surprised to see krillin win so quickly, he moved so fast that he appeared as a blur!
The eldest monk disciple look at the Krillin exiting the arena and began to break out in cold sweats. Excusing himself to the bathroom, the eldest monk disciple entered a stall before reaching into his pocket and pulling out a white pill.
"Thanks God i got my hands on this"
The pill gave off faint levels of ki and the monk immediately swallowed it, his muscles and veins bulged, his breath was steaming hot, and his ki levels began to rise!
*****
After nine rounds of competition, the other fighters in each arena had finally placed quarter finals. Goku, Yamcha, and Master Roshi disguised as Jackie Chan had all entered the top 8.
They all came to watch Krillin match, his opponent was naturally the elderest monk from the Shaolin Monk Temple. The other two brothers were eliminated by yamcha and another contestant.
As soon as Krillin walked onto the stage, he noticed the bulging muscles of the Monk who bullied him. The bulging veins and muscles caused krillin shock, making him use his systems once again to check his power level.
To Krillins absolute shock, he found that the monks power had reached 80!
Nervous sweats began pouring out of Krillin, he didn't understand how his power grew so quickly and that's when he did another scan.
This time it showed a power level of 12, another scan showed it reached 54. With each scan Krillin did on his opponent, he noticed their power level constantly fluctuating.
'Why the hell is his ki so unstable! His muscles are huge as well, Is he cheating? I don't know or have any evidence so I can't call him out on it! I can only do my best...'
"Both fighters are you ready!" The refered yelled out. The eldest monk nodded a bloodthirsty grin while Krillin nodded nervously.
"You may begin!"
As soon as the referee finished speaking, the monk launched himself at Krillin! His speed was so fast that Krillin could barely dodge! The bald boy just barely slipped the punch and stumbled to ground, vunerable to a follow up attack!
Krillin expected a punch or kick to drill into him and break bone but no attack arrive. Quickly rolling upwards Krillin jumped back and got into a defensive stance, his mind in confusion.
'Why didn't he finish me off, I was wide open? Unless...' scanning the monk once again Krillin was shocked to see there power level was only at 7!
'I see! Whatever they did makes their power level fluctuate greatly, when his PL is high he can attack at speed faster than the eye could perceive but when his PL is low... He is completely defenseless!'
As he realized the situation, the smirk on the senior monks face grew larger as he charged forward once again at blinding speed. The punch was so fast Krillin couldn't dodge, he could only hastily block the attack and get flung back!
The monk didn't let up as he continued to rain down blow after blow on Krillin, his attacks felt like sledgehammers! Krillin mind was getting faded, the monk was moving too fast for him to even perceive and the blows continued raining down on him.
Just as his conscious was close to slipping away, an image appeared in his mind that cause him to smile.
[Daisuke Gōri: Power level is 11]
A hook was coming straight towards Krillin face, he was just a step away from falling out of the arena, it was all but certain the boy would lose but something happened that shocked the crowd.
The punch that previously seemed to be impossible to avoid or block had been stopped dead in its track, Krillins hand was grasping firmly onto the monks wrist when a clear snapping sound was heard even in the large crowd!
The scream of pain drowned out the crowd as the monk held onto his now broken wrist but Krillin wouldn't end it just their. The muscles in his thighs and arms tensed up before he ran forward and unleashed a punch that he didn't hold back!
The monk vomited up bloody spittle as he got sent flying from one end of the arena to the other before slamming into the ground below!.
"W-what a turn of events, the Winner is Krillin!"
