Chapter 271: Awakening the beast
Dave suddenly appeared behind him, whispering coldly, "Yes, you are."
He landed a clean blow to Gohan’s back, sending him skidding across the dirt. Gohan groaned, but pushed himself back up, wiping blood from his lip.
"That the best you’ve got?" he growled.
Dave’s eyes flashed with faint violet. "Not even close. But this isn’t about me—it’s about waking up you."
Gohan screamed, his aura bursting to life in a brilliant white flame, surging higher, hotter. His muscles tensed, and his power surged.
Vegeta’s eyes narrowed. "He’s accessing it... his Super Saiyan form."
Goku clenched a fist. "Go on, Gohan—show him who you really are!"
With a defiant roar, Gohan charged again, fists blazing with raw energy. He and Dave met mid-air in a furious exchange of blows—shockwaves rocking the Earth beneath them. The sky overhead split with thunder, responding to the clash of their energies.
"Nice power-up, but is it enough?" Dave asked, circling Gohan, his eyes analyzing every movement.
"Shouldn’t you stop him?" Piccolo asked as he approached Goku and Vegeta.
Vegeta crossed his arms and replied, "If he can’t handle this much, then Broly is right—he’s a waste."
