"I, I didn't see that wrong, did I? Major Bogard was defeated??"
After a brief silence, a Navy soldier's exclamation ignited the area.
"That's unbelievable! That little kid! How old is he? He knocked Major Bogard away with a single punch?!"
"Major Bogard is our Navy's genius. How could he be defeated so quickly! That's impossible!"
...
In an instant, the scene was like a boiling pot, so noisy it was about to explode.
Many navy soldiers spoke at once, unable to believe their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.
"Was, was my worry unnecessary?" Ranza opened his mouth blankly, his eyes somewhat dazed.
He thought Goku wouldn't fare well against Bogard, but he didn't expect that Bogard wouldn't last a single move against Goku.
"That little kid was this strong?"
"No, Goku is very strong, but not strong enough to defeat Bogard in one move."
As he mumbled to himself in a daze, Garp's voice came from beside him.
Garp grabbed a handful of rice crackers and stuffed them into his mouth, chewing as he said, "The reason Bogard was knocked away with one punch was entirely that the guy was too careless."
"He didn't take Goku seriously at all, so he didn't expect Goku to have such great power."
"That young man was a bit too arrogant before; it's good for him to suffer a little and get a good beating."
After listening to Garp's explanation, Ranza finally understood, and at the same time admired Garp greatly.
So Vice Admiral Garp had already foreseen this, which is why he stopped him from stopping the match earlier. He really is a senior!
As he was marveling in his heart, as if to confirm Garp's words, Bogard, who had been embedded in the metal plate for a long time, finally moved.
"Damn it, I was careless."
Bogard pulled his body out of the metal plate, covered his abdomen, and looked at Goku with gritted teeth, his face full of innocence.
At this time, he no longer had the composed and calm appearance he had before. His forehead hair was disheveled, and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, making him look like a complete loser.
"I won't lose to this little brat! I swear on all my honor!!"
Feeling the scorching gazes around him, his face flushed, and he vowed fiercely in his heart.
The gazes he had completely ignored before now felt like thorns stabbing into him, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
Only by defeating Goku could he remove all these thorns!
"Huh? You're really strong; you can still stand after taking my punch."
The cute Goku looked at Bogard, who had walked back in front of him, and praised him from the bottom of his heart.
He felt incredibly strong right now, as if he could defeat any opponent.
After all, he had never possessed such great power before. He thought this power could easily beat many of his former selves, so he sincerely admired Bogard for being able to continue fighting after taking his punch head-on.
But Bogard heard something different in those words and thought Goku was mocking him.
So his face turned red, and he said through gritted teeth, "Don't get cocky! I was just careless! I won't hold back anymore!"
The surrounding navy soldiers seemed to be cooperating with him, nodding their heads in understanding. "So that's how it is, I knew there was no way Major Bogard would be defeated just like that, so he was holding back."
"Yeah, after all, his opponent is a child; it's normal for Major Bogard to hold back a little."
...
Although the navy soldiers agreed with him, for some reason, Bogard felt even more uncomfortable.
So he got into a stance and said to Goku, "Come on! I'll show you the difference between you and me!"
Goku looked at his hands raised in front of his chest, pointed to one of them, and asked sincerely, "Huh? Didn't you say you'd only use one hand?"
Bogard: ...
"To show you my respect, I've decided to use both hands to fight you."
Bogard forced out these words through gritted teeth, his face tense.
"Is that so?" Goku nodded seriously, as if he believed his explanation.
Bogard: ...
Afraid that he wouldn't be able to maintain his composure if he continued to talk, Bogard shouted, "I'm attacking!"
Then, he took a step forward and rushed towards Goku, his right leg like a whip, creating a whistling sound as he swept it towards Goku.
Whoosh!
Goku jumped lightly, easily avoiding the attack, and landed behind Bogard after doing two somersaults in the air.
"Hehe! I'm over here!"
He made a peace sign with his small hand, revealing an innocent smile.
Bogard turned around, his face darkening.
"You little brat, don't get cocky!"
With that, he attacked Goku again, his fists raining down.
Goku dodged left and right in his attacks, not letting him touch even a corner of his clothes.
After two breaths, Goku took two steps back, then jumped in front of Bogard again, swinging his two soft fists.
This time, the offense and defense switched, and it was Bogard's turn to dodge.
But he didn't expect that he would have a hard time dodging these attacks, and could only keep raising his hands to block, the great power coming from them shocking him.
How can this kid have so much power!
Seeing Bogard retreating step by step under Goku's attacks, the navy soldiers couldn't help but become noisy.
"Is Major Bogard falling behind?"
"Is that kid really that strong? Or is Major Bogard still holding back?"
Hearing these discussions, Bogard couldn't help but get distracted, and that distraction caused his hand movements to slow down.
So, unsurprisingly, one of Goku's fists slammed into his face, sending him flying again!
Boom!!
Bogard smashed a dent into the ship's railing, his eyes seeing stars, and he felt like the whole world was upside down.
After a while, he shook his head, forced himself to wake up, stood up, and attacked Goku again.
But this time, he was sent flying again in just a few seconds, smashing another dent into the ship's railing.
"Hey, even though you're strong, you're no match for me."
Goku's blunt words stabbed straight into his heart.
He lay on the ground for a long time, enduring the pain, and stood up, looking at Goku's innocent face, his heart finally calmed down.
"Little brat, you are indeed very strong, much stronger than I was when I first joined the navy, so I now understand why Vice Admiral Garp wants to recruit you into the navy."
He glanced at Garp, who was smiling at him, and understood that Garp had allowed this match to happen mostly to let him know that there were people stronger than him, and that he shouldn't be too arrogant.
Thank you, Vice Admiral Garp. I understand.
He said silently in his heart.
At this moment, Garp said to Ranza, "See, now that Bogard has realized it, it's Goku's turn to suffer a little. He needs to know that there are many people in the Navy stronger than him."
Ranza nodded like a chick pecking at rice. "Yes, yes!"
On the deck, Bogard looked at Goku again, a confident smile appearing on his lips. "You're strong, but you're very wrong to say that I'm no match for you."
"My name as a genius isn't just because I joined the navy early, but also because I have a great talent for mastering the Rokushiki, the superhuman martial arts of the navy."
"Now, let me show you one of them."
With that, he said softly, "Shave!"
Whoosh!!
In an instant, he disappeared from the spot and appeared behind Goku.
Then, he launched a kick, sending Goku flying.
Bang!!!
Goku was plastered against the metal plate of the ship's hull in a starfish shape, then slid down, with a red mark on his forehead.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!"
Goku covered his forehead, tears welling up in his eyes.
"How is it? Do you know my power now, little brat?" Bogard put his hands behind his back, feeling like he had returned to a state of ease and confidence.
"Each of the Rokushiki is a technique that ordinary people can hardly learn in a lifetime, but for me, I only needed four months to learn Shave."
He said this in a calm tone, earning admiring glances from many of the surrounding navy soldiers.
"Major Bogard is so amazing! I've also tried to learn Shave, but I can't seem to get the hang of it."
"That's right, the Rokushiki is too difficult. I feel like I'll be lucky if I can learn one in my entire life."
After relieving the pain, Goku stood up, puffing out his cheeks in anger. "I can do that too!"
"You can do that too?"
Bogard was taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh. "Hahaha, little brat, even if you're very talented, it would take you—"
Before he could finish speaking, Goku's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, causing his eyes to widen.
The next moment, as he thought to himself that something was wrong, Goku's figure had already appeared behind him, launching a kick straight at his kidneys.
Bang!!
In an instant, another person-shaped imprint appeared on the metal plate of the ship's hull.
The navy soldiers froze, their throats seemingly grabbed, unable to make a sound.
Garp's hand, which was reaching for a rice cracker, stopped in mid-air, his pupils slightly dilated.
"V, Vice Admiral Garp, was this situation also within your expectations?"
Ranza, who was standing beside him with his mouth wide open, asked subconsciously.
Garp came back to his senses and laughed loudly. "Hahahaha! Of course! I knew that Goku was extraordinary, which is why I wanted to bring him into our navy!"
"But didn't you just say that you wanted Goku to suffer a little—"
Boom!!
Ranza, with a large bump on his head and stars circling his eyes, fell to the ground. Garp casually retracted his fist and stuffed a rice cracker into his mouth.
Really, young people are saying nonsense in their dreams again.
