Dragon Ball: Super Goten

Chapter 128 The Great Counterattack!

Picking up where we left off, just as Brogy was crying tears of joy over his victory, a burst of laughter came from behind him. Brogy turned around and saw a man with a number 3 on his head sitting next to a girl, who was now mocking him, saying, "Just one victory and you're crying tears of joy?" The newcomers were none other than Mr. 3 and his partner, Golden Week.

Upon hearing this, Brogy immediately retorted, "What do you know! This is a great and sacred duel in Elbaf, how dare you, you bastard, mock us!"

However, Mr. 3 revealed the reason for Brogy's victory: "You don't think you won by strength, do you? Let me tell you the truth, the drink that giant drank from the Straw Hat Pirates' ship was laced with liquid explosives. It will explode as soon as someone drinks it. And just now, I used my Devil Fruit ability to make him slip, which is why you were able to win!"

Brogy was immediately enraged upon hearing this and was about to attack the man who had defiled his duel when he suddenly discovered that his legs were fixed in place by wax from who-knows-where, rendering him completely immobile. At this moment, the man before him laughed wildly, "Hahaha... I am the Candle Man who ate the Wax-Wax Fruit, and..."

Brogy was still struggling when he was suddenly hit by an unknown attack. Explosions occurred all over his body, and he was severely injured and fell to the ground. At this moment, Mr. 5 and Mrs. Valentine came out. Mr. 5 proudly held up a gun and said, "No one can dodge the explosive air bullets fired by my air gun!"

Seeing Brogy fall to the ground, Mr. 3 immediately used his Devil Fruit power to firmly pin Brogy to the ground. When Brogy was unable to move, Mr. 3 decisively ordered Mr. 5 and Mrs. Valentine to deal with the Straw Hat crew. After all, Dorry, who had gotten into trouble after drinking the sake taken from the Straw Hat crew's ship, would definitely take action against the Straw Hat crew.

Mr-5 immediately understood Mr-3's meaning upon hearing this, so he immediately took Mrs. Valentine to capture Vivi, while Mr-3 also went into the jungle again to capture the other Straw Hat Pirates members together with Mrs. Golden Week.

Seeing Brogy and Dorry in such a bad state, Usopp immediately ran towards the jungle without hesitation. Nami, who was running behind him, suddenly spotted Luffy. When she went over to check, she found that Luffy had fallen into Mr. 3's wax swamp trap...

Meanwhile, Zoro and Sanji also encountered the silent Usopp and Nami one after another. Upon closer inspection, they found themselves trapped in the wax swamp created by Mr.-3 and were captured.

Meanwhile, seeing Brogy and Dorry fall one after another, Luffy couldn't help but erupt. Ignoring Vivi and Karoo, he rushed towards Brogy and Dorry's location, which led to Vivi being attacked by Mr. 5 and Mrs. Valentine and being captured by them.

However, Mr. 5 and Valentine only took Vivi with them, leaving Karoo aside, and went back to reunite with Mr. 3. Karoo, relying on its willpower, stood up again and immediately ran after Luffy's scent. Finally, it found Luffy trapped in the wax swamp, pulled him out, and the two of them happened to run into Usopp who was on his way...

Led by Usopp, the two humans and the duck finally arrived at Mr. 3's location, where they discovered the captured Sanji, Zoro, Nami, and Vivi. The four of them were chained to a huge wax platform with a rotating candlestick above their heads. Brogy was lying nearby, and falling wax powder was turning them into wax figures...

Upon seeing Luffy and Usopp, Nami immediately shouted, "Usopp, Luffy! Destroy this candlestick right now, or we'll turn into wax figures!"

Seeing this, Luffy and Usopp were about to rush forward to rescue their companions, but Mr. 5 and Mr. 3 blocked their way. Luffy immediately shouted, "Gum-Gum Rocket!" and launched an attack. However, the next second, Luffy's attack hit Usopp instead, leaving the people on the candlesticks stunned...

Luffy was also confused, so he fired another Gum-Gum Pistol, but it still hit Usopp uncontrollably. Usopp yelled, "Idiot, who are you hitting?!"

Seeing this, Luffy asked in confusion, "Strange, why am I attacking Usopp uncontrollably? What's going on?"

Just then, Vivi noticed the red paint on Usopp's back and immediately shouted, "Luffy! There's Mrs. Golden Week's red paint on Usopp's back. If you don't wipe it off, you'll only ever be able to hit Usopp!"

Upon hearing this, Usopp looked down at his back and, sure enough, found himself covered in red paint. After wiping it clean, he shouted to Luffy, "Alright, now attack with all your might!"

Seeing this, Luffy shouted again, "Gum-Gum Rocket!" The attack was launched, but it hit the ground in front of him. Upon closer inspection, there was a pattern drawn with red paint on the ground.

Zoro, Sanji, and Vivi were speechless upon seeing this scene, so they could only place their hopes on Usopp. However, when they looked over at Usopp, they found that he was being bombarded by Mr.-5 with an air pistol, while Karoo was being held down by Mrs. Valentine, who used her Devil Fruit ability to suppress him and prevent him from moving.

Just as Luffy finally managed to wipe the pattern off the ground and was about to launch an attack, he suddenly burst into laughter. Seeing the yellow pattern on Luffy's back, the people on the candlesticks felt like they wanted to die...

Usopp, who had been bombed, finally remembered what Goten had said, so he decisively took out his slingshot and fired a gunpowder star into the sky. As it exploded, Mr. 5 was about to fire his gun when Goten arrived just in time and kicked him five miles away...

Upon seeing Goten, Usopp immediately shouted excitedly, "Great! We're finally saved!"

Goten looked at the group controlled by the candlesticks, scanned them, and spotted Luffy laughing. He decisively fired an energy blast at Luffy. As Luffy's clothes burned away, Goten calmly said, "Are you awake now, Captain..." He then dodged Mrs. Valentine's attack from the sky.

After Luffy's clothes were burned, he finally regained his senses, thanked Goten, and prepared to destroy the candlestick. At this moment, Mr. 3 made himself a suit of armor out of wax, which was then painted by Mrs. Goldenweek. He then launched a decisive attack on Luffy.

Looking at Mr. 3's armor, Luffy couldn't help but excitedly exclaim, "So amazing! So cool!"

Seeing this, Nami immediately cried out to Goten for help—"Goten, save me!"

Meanwhile, Goten encountered the reunited Mr-5 duo. Facing Mr-5's long-range shooting and Mrs. Valentine's constant attacks from above, Goten fought them off while saying to Usopp, "Usopp, you and Karu go burn that wax candlestick. You should still have something that can produce fire, right..."

Upon hearing this, Usopp immediately took action with Karoo, while Mr. 3, Mr. 5, and the others were held back by Goten and Luffy. As Usopp and Karoo used oil and gunpowder to light the candlestick, after the fire burned out, the freed group began to seek revenge.

Sanji kicked through Mr.-3's armor with two kicks, then Luffy launched a Gum-Gum Bazooka, sending him flying. Zoro, meanwhile, used the flames to unleash his "Burning Demon Slash," taking down Mr.-5 in one strike. Seeing this, Mrs. Valentine and Golden Week immediately fled...
