Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 339 The Insidious "Jackie Chan"

The open-air arena of the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament was already packed with people, with a large number of spectators gathered here, waiting for the start of the quarterfinals.

In the contestants' waiting area.

"Wukong, I never expected to have to fight you so soon."

Yamcha remarked after learning that his opponent in the quarterfinals would be Goku.

"I will fight you with all my might and let me see just how powerful you are now." He stared intently at Wukong, his fighting spirit undisguised.

"Hehe, I'm also looking forward to fighting you, Yamcha." Goku said with a grin, holding his head.

"Is that old man my opponent? He seems just as lecherous as Master Roshi."

Beside them, watching Jackie Chan jokingly flirting with the beautiful contestant Lan Fang not far away, Klin rubbed his shiny bald head and complained.

"That old man is no ordinary person, Klin."

Upon hearing Klin mention Jackie Chan, Yamcha looked at Jackie Chan with a serious expression in his eyes.

"I've watched all his matches before, and he defeated his opponents effortlessly. His strength is unfathomable."

"Huh? Is it that strong?" Klin exclaimed in surprise.

Previously, his qualifying zone was too far from Jackie Chan's qualifying zone, so he didn't observe what was happening there. However, Yamcha's zone was adjacent to Jackie Chan's, so he saw all of Jackie Chan's matches.

"That's right, he's definitely a formidable rival for you, Krillin," Yamcha said seriously.

"Ha... Haha, is that so?" Krillin couldn't help but feel a little nervous after Yamcha said that.

He looked at Jackie Chan more closely, then suddenly paused, blinking and asking in confusion, "Um... don't you guys think he looks a bit like Master Roshi?"

"Oh? You feel the same way? I thought he looked a bit like Master Roshi before, and I almost thought he was Master Roshi himself. But then I thought, Master Roshi wasn't participating in the competition, he was with Bulma and the others, so this Jackie Chan contestant probably just looks like him." Yamcha said with his hands on his hips and laughed.

Goku opened his mouth, almost blurting out, "He's Master Roshi!"

Fortunately, he remembered what Master Roshi had told him yesterday, so he swallowed his words and didn't reveal Master Roshi's identity.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting!! I am the host of the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament! I hereby announce that the quarterfinals of the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament are about to begin!!"

On the open-air stage, the host, wearing sunglasses and with blond hair, held a microphone and shouted loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in cheers that were deafening.

"Ohhh!! It's starting!!"

"Let's get started! I can't wait!"

Bulma perked up in the crowd, her eyes filled with anticipation: "Goku, Yamcha, and Krillin are about to have their match. I hope all three of them can win and advance to the semifinals."

"That sounds nice, but what if they actually meet?" Oolong blurted out, ruining the atmosphere.

Bang! !

Bulma immediately flicked his forehead and yelled, "Can you shut your mouth?! They absolutely won't run into each other that soon!"

After finishing her rant, Bulma looked around and frowned, saying, "Speaking of which, where did Master Roshi go? The tournament is about to start, why hasn't he shown up yet?"

"Should I go look for it?" Poole asked.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Poole. Go and find that old guy who doesn't care about the disciple's competition." Bulma nodded.

As Poole left to find Master Roshi, the announcer on the stage shouted again, "Next up, please welcome our first quarterfinal match contestants: Namo!! and Barbarian Patrian!!"

Amidst enthusiastic cheers, Namo, a slender man with a white scarf wrapped around his head and his hands clasped together, stepped forward.

After stepping onto the ring, he bowed to the audience on three sides, then looked resolutely at the sky and muttered to himself, "Everyone, I will definitely win the championship and buy water to take home."

After he appeared, a series of heavy footsteps followed, and a disheveled burly man wearing only underwear and shoes, reeking of a foul stench and surrounded by flies, emerged.

Before they even stepped onto the stage, a gust of wind blew by, and the host, Namo, and the surrounding audience all instantly changed their expressions and covered their noses.

Ugh, it stinks!

"Hehehe." The barbarian grinned, revealing only four yellow teeth, and walked nonchalantly onto the arena, completely unconcerned by the disdainful looks of the crowd.

The host, covering his nose as he left the ring, shouted, "Both contestants have entered the arena, so I now announce! The first quarterfinal match is now beginning!"

Boom! !

The sound of gongs and drums then rang out.

Namo covered his nose, his expression solemn.

The barbarian grinned and approached Nanwu step by step, trying to use the stench on his body to prevent Nanwu from exerting his strength.

Five minutes later.

Despite being at a disadvantage, Namo, with his unwavering willpower, ignored the stench emanating from the barbarian and easily defeated him with a single punch, securing victory in the first quarterfinal match.

In the waiting area, seeing Namu secure the victory, Krillin clenched his fist, both nervous and excited, and said, "Next up is my match, I must do my best!"

"Go for it, Krillin!" Goku and Yamcha cheered him on.

"Next up, please welcome the contestants for the second quarterfinal match! They are Klin and Jackie Chan!!" the announcer shouted from the ring.

Just then, Poole, who had gone to find Master Roshi, returned and shook his head helplessly at Bulma: "I've been looking for a long time, but I haven't seen any sign of Master Roshi."

"Honestly! Where did that old lecher go? His disciples are about to have their competition!" Bulma frowned and said angrily.

"Alright, since he's not here, let's cheer for his disciple. Krillin is Goku's friend, so he's our friend too. We should cheer him on properly."

As she finished speaking, little Krillin walked out of the waiting area and stepped onto the ring with a slightly nervous expression.

Wow, there are so many people!

Looking at the densely packed audience around him, Klin couldn't help but swallow, feeling his body stiffen slightly.

"Go Krillin!!!"

Just then, a loud voice cut through the noisy discussion and reached his ears.

Klin turned his head and saw Bulma in the audience, cupping her hands to her mouth and cheering him on, while Poole next to her was also waving and cheering him on.

Klin paused for a moment, feeling a warm current flowing through his heart.

He grinned, flashed a smile, and waved to Bulma and the others: "I'll do my best!!"

His body gradually relaxed, and the tension in his heart dissipated.

Master Roshi, who strolled over slowly with his hands behind his back, saw this scene and a barely perceptible smile flashed in his eyes.

It seems that little guy Klin is gradually getting used to this ring. I never thought I would run into him so soon. Let me give him some pointers in this match.

In the waiting area, Yamcha intently watched the two on the ring and asked, "Goku, do you think Krillin can beat his opponent?"

Wukong shook his head: "No."

"Huh? Are you so sure?" Yamcha turned around and looked at Goku in surprise upon hearing the answer.

Although he knew Jackie Chan was very strong, he couldn't be so sure that Klin would lose to him.

"Yeah, Krillin has become very strong, but his opponents are even stronger. Krillin can't beat them now."

"Is that so? Krillin's luck is really bad." Yamcha turned around, his gaze returning to the arena, and sighed.

"I hereby announce! The second quarterfinal match has now officially begun!!"

After the host shouted a shout, he quickly left the ring, leaving only Krillin and Master Roshi disguised as Jackie Chan on the stage.

"I heard from a friend that you are a very formidable opponent, but I will not lose to you."

Having completely calmed down, Klin clenched his fist and looked at Jackie Chan seriously.

"Hehehe, I'm just a grumpy old man, not as powerful as you say."

Jackie Chan, who had been standing with his hands behind his back, looking like a master, suddenly started grinning, instantly losing all his masterly demeanor.

"Huh? Really?" Colin was stunned.

"Yes, yes, if my opponents hadn't been so kind to this old man, I wouldn't have had the chance to stand here."

"Jackie Chan said in a serious tone."

"Young man, I see you're quite skilled. You'd better go easy on me later, or this old man will fall apart."

Klin blinked, looking completely bewildered.

Could it be that Yamcha was wrong, and that this old man is really not strong and only made it into the quarterfinals by luck?

'

His concentration began to waver, and he couldn't help but let his mind wander.

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Jackie Chan's eyes, then he smiled innocently and said, "Little brother, let's get started. Don't keep the audience waiting too long."

Having said that, he adopted a boxing stance full of flaws and then jogged towards Klin at a very slow pace.

"This... such a slow speed." Seeing this, Krillin opened his mouth, already 80% convinced that this was an old man who wasn't very powerful.

He began to think about how much effort he would need to eliminate the old man without harming his body.

As he was thinking, Jackie Chan slowly approached him and slowly swung his fist at Klin's face.

Just as Klin was wondering whether he should dodge the punch, Jackie Chan suddenly withdrew his fist and gasped for breath, as if the previous action had exhausted him and he could no longer move.

This bizarre scene immediately made Krillin's eyes widen. He was now completely convinced that the old man in front of him must be an ordinary person. Yamcha must have misunderstood something before, which was why he thought the old man was a powerful guy.

However-

Just as he completely lowered his guard, a slap came from the side without warning, instantly hitting him in the face and sending him flying, crashing into the stone wall next to the arena.

With a loud thud, Klin slammed against the wall like a gecko, then slowly slid down, limbs outstretched, face up, a bright red mark on his forehead and a conspicuous handprint on his left cheek.

"Oh!! Jackie Chan, Jackie Chan sent Krillin flying!! What happened?! Was Jackie Chan's previous actions just to mislead Krillin so he could successfully ambush him?!"

The host in the audience then gave an impassioned explanation.

This earth-shattering scene instantly ignited the entire audience. Some cursed Jackie Chan for being an "old man who doesn't know how to behave," while others cheered for the spectacular moment, and still others expressed sympathy for Klin.

Bulma was naturally the former. When she saw Krillin being deceived by his opponent and even being knocked away as a result, she was so angry that she cursed at Jackie Chan.

If it weren't for Wulong and Puer holding her back, she would have even rushed up and beaten Jackie Chan to a pulp.

Backstage, Yamcha was completely bewildered by this scene. Given the strength that Jackie Chan had previously demonstrated, he had no need to resort to such despicable means to deal with Krillin. So why did he do it?

Goku seemed to be deep in thought, as if he knew somewhat why Master Roshi had done what he did.

Of course, this is all thanks to his experience in the pirate world. If it were him in the original work, he would be just as bewildered as Yamcha at this moment.

"Ouch, that hurts..."

'

Krillin covered his forehead and slowly got up from the ground. Master Roshi's control of the power was just right, enough to make him feel pain but not enough to knock him out, allowing him to continue fighting.

"Damn it! You've been lying to me all this time!!" Krillin grinned, glaring at Jackie Chan, who was flashing a peace sign to the audience.

After suffering such a huge loss, how could he not understand that Jackie Chan was clearly putting on an act for him? Yamcha was right; Jackie Chan was definitely a formidable guy, and also a treacherous and cunning one!

After Jackie Chan finished flashing a peace sign with the audience, he turned around, his smile fading, and looked at Klin in a deep voice, saying, "Young man, don't you understand the principle that all's fair in war? When fighting an opponent, blindly trusting their words can lead to great losses."

That's right. The reason he resorted to such underhanded tactics was to teach Klin a lesson: when fighting an opponent, one must never be too trusting of their words, lest one become complacent and give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage.

Krillin will eventually graduate from his tutelage, just like Goku, and will encounter all sorts of opponents. He doesn't want Krillin to be hurt or even killed by his opponents for such reasons one day, so he wants to take this opportunity to properly teach his disciple.

"Hmph! Now I understand! I shouldn't have believed your nonsense in the first place!" Klin said angrily.

Actually, compared to Wukong, he is a very shrewd person, but his downfall is that he is a kind person like Wukong, especially when facing the elderly, weak, women and children. He easily lowers his guard and trusts them, which is why he suffered a great loss at Jackie Chan's hands just now.

But now he knows that when he encounters such an opponent again, he must not be careless or let his guard down.

"Hehehe! That's good, let's continue." Seeing that his disciple had been successfully guided, Jackie Chan smiled, put one hand behind his back, and pointed the other finger at Klin.

"Hmph! I'm going to beat you right now!" Krillin was filled with fighting spirit.

But what happened next was completely unexpected.

He launched a fierce attack on his opponent, but all of his attacks were easily parried.

Not only that, he was also repeatedly tricked by his opponent, falling countless times in the ring.

By the time he was completely knocked down and lost consciousness, he was already bruised and swollen, looking quite miserable.

"ten!"

"Nine!"

"eight!"

As he collapsed, the host began the countdown.

With the word "one" falling, the match was declared a victory for Jackie Chan.

In the third quarterfinal match, facing Lanfang's flirtatious attempts to seduce him with her beauty, Jilang, being a dragon, showed disdain and with just a roar, frightened Lanfang so much that she lost her composure and voluntarily admitted defeat.

With this, the winners of the first three quarter-final matches have been determined, leaving only the final quarter-final match yet to be played.

The final quarterfinal match was between Yamcha and Goku!
