Chapter 26: Chapter 26
"Hoho!"
"My brother-in-law is really amazing! You actually saved me from Cell!"
Although Android 17 was a little surprised by Katakana, he quickly changed his attitude and smiled.
But when he thought about it, it made sense. Just now, Android 17 had already realized how powerful Katakana was, and Android 18 had even admitted it herself.
If that was the case, there was no reason for him to keep being stubborn!
After all, Katakana's strength far surpassed his own, and he was also his savior.
Plus, since Katakana was going to be his brother-in-law in the future, it would be even better if he could get some pointers on training and maybe even learn a few new techniques!
Hearing their conversation, Android 18's face turned red in embarrassment.
How did these two reconcile so quickly?
If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have shouted like that earlier—it was too embarrassing!
At the same time, not far away, Vegeta, who had also been spat out by Cell, finally woke up.
Trunks' excited voice rang out.
"Dad is awake! This is great!"
Looking at the awakened Vegeta, Trunks was overjoyed.
His father had also been saved by Mr. Katakana —this was a huge relief! Now he didn't have to worry about explaining things to his mother.
"Hiss…"
Vegeta rubbed his head, then said indifferently to Trunks, "Tch! That bastard Cell dared to do that to me? I'll make sure he learns just how powerful the great Prince Vegeta is!"
Vegeta looked around angrily.
However, he didn't see any sign of Cell. Instead, his eyes landed on Katakana.
"Why is he here…? Where's Cell?"
Vegeta frowned, then turned to look at Goku with an ugly expression.
He suddenly noticed that Goku's power had grown—even surpassing his own.
"Vegeta, be careful with your words. Your life was saved by Katakana!"
"It's not just you— Katakana saved everyone on Earth! If it weren't for him eliminating Cell, who knows how much destruction Cell would have caused!"
Hearing Vegeta's tone, Goku spoke up unhappily.
After all, Katakana had saved everyone's lives, and Vegeta's attitude was starting to get on his nerves.
"What?! Kakarot!"
"You're telling me Cell was defeated by that bastard?! And that even I was saved by him?!"
Vegeta's pupils shrank in shock, and he clenched his fists.
A crackling sound echoed as his knuckles tightened.
That bastard Katakana … not only did he kill his prey, Cell, but he even saved his life?
Damn it! He was the proud Prince of the Saiyans, and now he owed his life to his rival?!
This was an absolute humiliation for Vegeta.
"Damn it!"
Vegeta roared angrily.
In an instant, golden energy erupted from his body, and he transformed into a Super Saiyan.
"Dad, calm down!"
Seeing Vegeta transform, Trunks rushed forward to stop him.
He was afraid that if Vegeta angered Katakana, he might really get killed!
"Hmm?"
Katakana, of course, noticed Vegeta's outburst, but he didn't react.
He simply smiled and continued chatting with Android 17 and the others.
It was as if he had never taken Vegeta seriously from the very beginning.
"That bastard…! That bastard just ignored me?! Me, Vegeta?!"
"Damn it!"
"I, Prince Vegeta, will never let a guy like you off the hook!"
Vegeta gritted his teeth.
The fact that Katakana wasn't even acknowledging him filled him with unbearable humiliation.
In a fit of rage, Vegeta shoved Trunks aside and charged straight at Katakana!
But before Vegeta's attack could land, Katakana simply furrowed his brow slightly and spoke a single word.
"Get lost."
"BOOM!"
Suddenly, an overwhelming force erupted from Katakana's body.
Vegeta, who had just been mid-air, instantly crashed to the ground, kneeling as if he had been crushed under an invisible weight.
"H-How… How is this possible…?! This power… This is on a completely different level from me!"
Vegeta kneeled on the ground, his spirit utterly shattered.
This was too big of a blow for him to handle.
" sorry, Katakana! We should have kept a closer eye on Vegeta!"
At that moment, Goku's expression turned tense.
He was afraid that Katakana would be angered.
If that happened, Vegeta would truly become the one who doomed the Earth.
"I'll let this slide this time. But next time…"
Katakana ignored Goku and instead turned his sharp gaze toward Vegeta, his voice cold.
"I don't think I need to repeat myself."
He had already given Vegeta two chances.
If Vegeta acted out again, Katakana wouldn't hesitate to send him to hell.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Katakana! It's our fault for not controlling Vegeta!"
Trunks looked flustered.
Seeing that Katakana nodded in acknowledgment, Trunks immediately grabbed Vegeta and flew away.
Right now, it was best to take his father far away—before he caused even more trouble and got himself killed.
Seeing Vegeta taken away, the other Z-Fighters finally let out a sigh of relief.
They had just witnessed Katakana's power firsthand—he had eliminated the mighty Cell in a single move!
Even now, just thinking about that scene sent chills down their spines.
So, Vegeta being taken away was undoubtedly the best outcome.
"Um… Mr. Katakana, can we summon Shenron now to restore the Earth people's?"
At that moment, Piccolo cautiously stepped forward and asked.
