Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 549 The upper limit for counterfeits is determined by genuine products.
The helicopters in District 13 were equipped with some advanced technology; they flew very fast and arrived at an island in no time.

"This is a vacation spot for our agents. We in District 13 have deployed special shielding devices on this island, so satellites from outer space cannot photograph it. You can use your magic freely here..."

Sheriff Black explained the situation on the island and then led Broly and Jade to the beach.

The sand glittered in the sunlight, with some small crabs crawling on it and some seashells, but no modern trash.

Xiaoyu took off her shoes, and the feeling of walking barefoot on the beach was very comfortable: "This place is really beautiful. I wish I had brought Tru and Uncle Long here with me."

“True has to look after his father’s antique shop, and Uncle Long just received an archaeological commission. I don’t think they have time to come here.”

As Xiaoyu and Broly were talking, Sheriff Black pointed to a modern camouflage building that was disguised as a forest some distance from the coast and asked, "Would you two like some drinks? I can get them for you."

"I want watermelon juice."

"Orange juice."

"Thank you." *2
Broly and Jade didn't stand on ceremony with Sheriff Black. After saying what they wanted to drink, they thanked him in unison.

"Xiaoyu, the lighting here is great. Before the sun sets, you can try to summon as many White Shadow Ninjas as you like."

After the bald sheriff left, Broly spoke to Jade, who had started catching crabs, reminding her that they weren't really there for a vacation.

"And what about you, Broly?"

Xiaoyu began summoning the White Shadow Ninja, and seeing Broly standing motionless beside her, she couldn't help but ask.

"I want to study the copying spell further to see if I can attach a clone to the White Shadow Ninja."

"Hey, you two."

After Broly finished speaking, a voice rang out.

Xiaoyu and Broly looked over together and saw a Broly dressed differently from Broly walking over from the side.

"Hey, Broly, you've mastered the clone technique you wanted?!"

When Xiaoyu saw the other person, she asked the boy next to her in surprise.

"I think not yet."

Broly shook his head.

If it weren't for the fact that it was afternoon, he would have thought he had gotten up early.

Otherwise, how could you see another version of yourself?

"Who are you? Does this world also have time travel? Are you me from the future?"

Broly asked the question.

In the perception of Qi, the 'self' in front of you and your own Qi are almost indistinguishable.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Broly would have even ignored the other's existence.

"Hey, have you lost your memory too?"

The fake Broly frowned, then shrugged.

"Never mind, I'm not the future you, I'm the real you."

He said so.

"What do you mean?"

Xiaoyu was a little confused.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Could you please explain it to me?"

Broly looked at the guy in front of him who resembled him and said.

"You're quite polite, so it's not appropriate for me to hit you directly."

The fake Broly scratched his head and actually started explaining.

"That's what it is!"

Upon first meeting, the fake Broly completely betrayed the real Broly, but this cannot be blamed on the other party, because the fake Broly's personality is derived from the real Broly.

The fake Broly, at most, lacks the Crystal Palace and the memories of the other world. Furthermore, due to the manipulation spell of Shendu, he doesn't even have the memories of Broly's experiences after arriving in this world. He's essentially an empty-headed version of Broly, completely devoid of any cunning.

"Oh, I think I know what's going on."

"what happened?"

Both Brolys looked over at the same time and asked Jade in unison.

"The Holy Lord wanted to deal with Broly, but He was no match for Broly."

So, the Holy Lord used some methods to create a fake Broly, which is you.

Xiaoyu pointed at the counterfeit Broly and said without any politeness.

"So, you're saying I'm the fake Broly?"

"The fake Broly looked at her and asked."

"Yes, after all, only a fake Broly would have no memories of his life. If you don't believe me, you can ask the real Broly. His life story is quite interesting, and he has interacted with many people and built close relationships with them."

"The Holy Lord said that he stole my life, which is why I have no memory."

"The Holy Lord is a demon; He never speaks the truth. He must be deceiving you."

"Then why aren't you the one lying to me?"

The fake Broly crossed his arms and didn't believe Xiaoyu's words.

"If I'm not mistaken, District 13, the safest place in the world, has been robbed again, and what's missing is probably inside you right now."

As Xiaoyu spoke, she pointed to the chest area of ​​the fake Broly.

"What's here?"

“I’m not sure of the exact location, but I think there must be a rat talisman in your body that can turn stillness into movement and inanimate objects into living things.”

"I didn't feel anything."

The fake Broly subconsciously touched his chest and said.

"Okay, who you are isn't important. What's important is, why did you come looking for me?"

Broly asked directly.

"The Holy Lord said that if I want to take back my life, I must get rid of the guy who stole it."

"So, you're here to kill me?"

"Yes, but now it seems that I might be the fake one."

"Then what are you going to do?"

Broly looked at the imposter and, curious about the other person's plans, asked.

"I don't like to think about complicated things, and I don't know how to distinguish between what you and the Holy Lord are saying, or who is telling the truth and who is lying."

So I simply stopped thinking about it. The Holy Lord treated me to a meal, so he's considered my friend. Since you hit Him, I'm going to avenge Him and teach you a lesson.

"Are you sure? I'm really strong, and you don't seem that strong. If you fight me, you'll be the one who suffers."

The imposter in front of him had the same aura as himself, but the size of their auras differed; his was larger, while the imposter's was smaller.

"Whether I'll suffer a loss or not, we'll only know after the fight. Take this!"

The fake Broly launched an attack directly, raising his leg at the hip and kicking down towards Broly's head like an axe.

The moment Broly made his move, he pulled Jade back with him. With a loud bang, a large crater appeared on the beach, like a grenade exploding under the sand.

"Hey, you can fight me if you want, but don't involve my friends!"

If Broly hadn't pulled Jade back with his kick, Jade might have been blasted away by the shockwave, just like the sand that gets kicked apart.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. She should have stayed away."

Broly's attitude towards the fake Broly surprised Broly.

"Xiaoyu, stay away, I'm going to spar with this guy."

"Broly, are you alright?"

The kick from the fake Broly still startled Xiaoyu a little.

"no problem."

Broly was very confident.

The fake Broly, who had been listening to their conversation, asked after Xiaoyu had run off into the distance, "Now, can I continue?"

"You are quite polite, much more polite than the demons in hell. In light of your politeness, I can let you show your strength."

Broly gestured for him to proceed, and the fake Broly attacked again, using a similar attack pattern to Broly himself.

After exchanging blows with his opponent for a while, Broly realized that the imposter in front of him was roughly the same strength as the Thunder Demon Zhong Su he had fought before, or at most a little stronger.

“It seems this is your limit. If you stop now, I can spare you.” Broly raised his hand to block the fake Broly’s kick and tried to persuade him, but the fake Broly still showed no intention of stopping. He remained silent and continued to attack with fierce punches and kicks.

"Since that's the case, there's nothing I can do but let you suffer a bit."

Broly increased his speed slightly and pressed himself close to the imposter.

Before the opponent could react, his right fist struck the opponent's right side in the waist and abdomen.

A real collision occurred, and a cracking sound rang out.

The fake Broly was sent flying like a cannonball.

It sank into the sand, carving a furrow in the sand, and eventually...

"Bang, snap!"

The figure that had been sent flying finally stopped after smashing a coconut tree in the distance.

"Broly, you didn't kill him, did you?"

Seeing this from a distance, Xiaoyu became somewhat worried.

Of course, she wasn't worried about a fake Broly; she just had a greater respect for life.

Even in her Shadow Queen form, when the girl had ninjas arrest criminals, she never allowed them to kill her.

"No, I'm holding back. At most, I'll make sure the imposter can't rise again."

No sooner had Broly finished speaking than the broken coconut tree was propped up again.

"Ouch! You're faster than me?!"

The imposter Broly stood up again, and where the real Broly had hit him, his clothes were torn, revealing a red and swollen fist mark on his side waist and abdomen, which disappeared rapidly at a visible speed.

"You have healing magic?"

Broly saw this and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"That must be the power of the horse talisman. The horse talisman can cure all diseases, including injuries such as bruises and sprains."

Xiaoyu, who also saw that the fake Broly's injuries had disappeared, then revealed the method by which the other party recovered from his injuries.

"Although we don't know what's going on, let's continue."

The fake Broly attacked again, and he seemed even faster.

However, Broly only increased his speed slightly just now, and he still had a large part of his hidden strength that he hadn't revealed.

So, in just a few moments, the fake Broly flew out again.

But the opponent quickly got back up and began the cycle of being knocked away, getting up, and continuing to fight.

As Broly continues to demonstrate his increasing strength, the fake Broly's strength also steadily increases.

The Rat Talisman seems to be constantly updating the upper limit of this imposter's power.

"Broly, why do I feel like he's getting better and better?"

"Yes, he's getting stronger and stronger. It seems like his strength is increasing in tandem with my own."

After discovering that the imposter could continuously heal his injuries, Broly became increasingly ruthless, and now he has even brought out a hand-blade version of the Light Blade.

The fake Broly's limbs were severed, and he fell to the ground like a human pig, but his severed limbs quickly regenerated in the next moment.

As the opponent muttered that a new move had popped into his head, he actually used the same hand-blade version of the Light Blade that Broly had just used.

It missed its target and landed on the beach, leaving a terrifying sword mark.

It can replicate techniques and strength, and recover quickly from injuries.

The situation with the counterfeit Broly began to make Broly feel troubled.

"You'd better stop, or I can't guarantee your safety."

Broly spoke again.

"You're a really nice person, but you hit me so hard, all I want now is to hit you back."

The counterfeit Broly showed no signs of stopping.

"Hey~"

Broly sighed, and his figure vanished instantly.

"Where is the man?"

Just as the fake Broly was wondering where he was, Broly appeared behind him and kicked the imposter into the air.

With its speed and power constantly exploding, the fake Broly's strength update was delayed, and for a time it was like a rag doll, being beaten around in the sky, completely powerless to fight back.

"Are you going to admit defeat? Are you going to stop? This is your last chance."

"I can already spot you."

Broly's response was a kick that almost landed on the fake Broly.

"In that case, then, Light Slash!"

The next moment, the fake Broly's body was cut into pieces.

"Gravity Energy Bomb!"

Broly, who stopped in mid-air, gathered an energy blast in his hand and hurled it at the debris.

Suddenly, an expanding energy blast appeared in the sky above the island's coastline.

Broly, however, was able to control the power and direction of the gravity energy blast, preventing it from affecting the island's side.

However, on the sea surface, the seawater was pressed down by the terrifying wind pressure, making it appear as if the tide was receding.

. . . .

"What's the noise?"

Sheriff Blake, who was inside the camouflage forest building, heard some noises, turned around and looked out the window, and saw energy clouds appearing in the distant sky.

[That magic really made a huge commotion!]

After thinking for a moment, Sheriff Black said to the cook in front of him, "Please give me three more hot dogs."

"Uh, Sheriff, there's such a commotion over there, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

"Don't worry about it. That's... well, it's just that our District Thirteen's newly developed secret weapon is being tested. It's normal for it to make a big fuss."

Sheriff Black thought the situation was just an anomaly caused by Broly and Jade practicing magic, and even helped them come up with a plausible excuse to explain it away.

. . . .

As the gravity energy blast gradually disappeared, Broly, who had blasted his imposter to smithereens, felt no joy.

Broly didn't intend to kill the imposter, but the imposter refused to listen to his advice to stop. Broly was worried that if the battle intensified, it might affect Jade, so he had no choice but to kill the imposter.

Just as Broly was about to fall, a mass of flesh appeared out of thin air behind him, rapidly solidifying and emitting a sound: "Ouch!"

Broly whirled around, staring in astonishment at the imposter who seemed to be resurrecting in a manner similar to Majin Buu's: "His body was blown to bits, yet he can come back to life?!"

“Broly, the other person has a Dog Talisman. Dog Talismans can grant the holder the power of immortality.”

Xiaoyu shouted from below, but her voice was drowned out by the loud noise caused by the new gravity energy blast.

However, this time it was a fake Broly that released the gravity energy blast, while the one attacked by the gravity energy blast was the real Broly.

"Ok?"

The fake Broly, who was maintaining the gravity energy blast, suddenly noticed that Jade was about to be blown away by the wind below. So he adjusted the range of the gravity energy blast and pushed it upwards.

However, immediately after doing so, the gravity energy blast released by the fake Broly dissipated, and Broly, in his Super Saiyan form, waved his hand to disperse the energy blast.

"Thanks."

Broly noticed the fake Broly's behavior and thanked him.

"You are welcome."

The fake Broly waved his hand, and looking at Broly's current form, he suddenly clenched his fists and placed them on his waist.

Broly's pupils contracted upon seeing this. Sure enough, as the imposter roared out his own voice and unleashed even greater power, the imposter was strengthened once again.

Suddenly, the other person's black hair was covered by golden flames, which turned into the same color as his own hair.

. . . .

In this world where the eight great demons are sealed away, preventing the energy level from spiraling upwards, the Rat Talisman + Dragon Talisman could not create a powerful being with an energy level exceeding that of this world.

However, because the statue that Shendu chose to activate was Broly, a Saiyan from another world who also exists in this world, the activated fake statue directly broke free from the energy level limitations of this world itself.

Without a doubt, the Holy Lord has indeed created a monster that exceeds the energy level of this world. The upper limit of the counterfeit Broly is determined by the upper limit of the genuine Broly.
