5 Rising Fury: Gohan's Unleashed Power

 Nothing else happened during the lunch hours after that. After lunch hours ended, it was time for the long break before dinner. So, Gohan went to his room to find that Zeff had already sent the books, along with some other things like maps of the Four Seas and the first part of the Grand Line. There were also some wanted posters, but they were not useful to him because they were for small-time pirates only.

"Well, I'll just read these books. Who knows, I might learn something useful because reading manga and anime cannot tell me everything about this world," thought Gohan as he started reading.

But after one hour, he was irritated. "Useless! Absolutely useless!! These are nothing but books with fake history, which were spread by the World Government. I didn't learn a single thing," he exclaimed. "Let's see if anyone needs help, or I might as well go outside for some fresh air," he thought as he went out.

Once he was outside, he saw that everyone was busy doing something. There were people cutting vegetables, washing ingredients, and cleaning the hall. Patty was supervising the people who were cleaning ingredients, Chef Zeff himself supervising the cutting works, and George was supervising the cleaning work. As for Sanji, he was mixing spices in the kitchen.

So Gohan asked him, "Are you working on a recipe?" Sanji looked up but got back to his work without answering. "I think I have angered him too much, but this could be bad because I like his cooking. That lobster he made for lunch was godly," Gohan thought. "Hey..." But before he could say anything to Sanji, Chef Zeff's voice rang out.

"What are you doing here, brat?" asked Zeff. "I was hoping to help with the preparations," said Gohan with a smile. "No! There is no need for that. Go out and have some fresh air and don't come before it's time for opening," ordered Zeff. "But..." "Are you trying to argue?" asked Zeff, this time more sternly.

"NO, Chef Zeff!" shouted Gohan and gave a military salute before running away. "Old man Zeff is more like a marine than Garp," he thought as he was outside.

He was admiring the scenery when he suddenly heard a voice. He looked around but didn't see anyone. "Am I that bored that I am hearing things now?" he thought. But he heard it again. "Where is it coming from? It sounds like a child's. Stupid! I am a Saiyan now, of course, I will hear voices from a far distance," he thought as he looked towards the docking station. He saw a ship docked there. "What is that ship doing? It's way too early for anyone to come for dinner. There's no flag either. Let's go have a look," he thought as he started walking towards it.

While inside the restaurant's kitchen, "Here! Test this mixture; I think I finally perfected it," said Sanji smilingly to Zeff. Zeff took the spoon and tested the mixture. "Hm? This is pretty good!" but he sighed. "So much talent! But he is wasting it here, stupid brat." "What is it? Did it not taste well? But it tastes perfect to me," asked Sanji when he sees Zeff's sigh.

"Test perfect? What would a brat like you, who is a frog in the well, know about perfection!" said Zeff, looking down on Sanji. "WHAT DID YOU SAY?? YOU OLD BASTARD!! DO YOU THINK YOU CAN DISCOURAGE ME WITH YOUR SHITTY BEHAVIOR?? I WILL MAKE YOU SAY THAT I AM A GREAT CHEF NO MATTER WHAT. AND I AM NOT GOING ANYWHERE UNTIL I PROVE IT!" shouted Sanji as he marched out of the restaurant. "Wait, Sanji," said George, but he didn't stop. "Let him go. He will come back when it is time for work," said Zeff.

While outside at the ship, "Hurry up and tie her up and put more clothes in her mouth," said a fat man. "But boss, what if she dies from suffocation?" said a man who has "Lackey" written all over him. "Just do as I say, or we will be dead if someone hears her. In a while, this place will be full of ships, then we will be able to fill our stomachs and get away from here. This girl is going to make us millionaires," said the boss, in greed.

"Boss! Someone is coming towards us," said Lackey as he started panicking. "Hm? Don't panic, just put her with the potatoes and close the sack. Act normal and let me do the talking," said the boss man.

"Yes," replied Lackey. As Lackey put the girl in the sack, she thought desperately, "Mommy... daddy... somebody help."

"Hey! Who are you guys? And why are you here at this time of the day?" asked Gohan. 'I definitely heard a child's voice from this ship, and this fat guy had a child trafficker written all over him,' he thought as he started climbing towards the deck.

The fat man didn't panic and said, "We are merchants and are going to South Blue to sell our potatoes. We were hungry, so we stopped here to eat, but it looks like we are too early," said the fat man as their stomachs started to growl.

'We couldn't stop anywhere because of fear of getting caught,' they thought, but just then, someone's stomach growled loudly again. 'So... hungry,' thought the little girl pitifully. "Where did this sound come from? Is there anyone else on the ship?" asked Gohan as he grew more and more suspicious.

"No! There's only two of us. That sound came from his stomach," said the boss, looking towards Lackey. "Do you guys think I can't hear properly? That sound came from those sacks behind you two. Let me see what's inside," said Gohan as he approached them.

"Please wait! There's only potatoes, nothing else," said the boss. "No, I just saw that sack moving. There's definitely something in it," said Gohan as he came in front of the sack. 'Shit! There's only one option left,' thought the boss as he raised a big stick over his head. "It's just a mouse, let me just kill it."

Just then, Sanji came out to see that scene. 'Huh? What the hell is this idiot doing there, getting into a fight? Well, with his talent for annoying people, it's obvious that he will get into fights,' thought Sanji. But he started running towards the ship. "I better stop this before it gets out of hand," he muttered.

On the ship, just as the fat man was about to hit the sack, Gohan caught the stick. "Didn't you hear what I said?" said Gohan, but this time with seriousness. He crushed the stick, and the crushed part of the stick turned into powder. Seeing that, both the boss and the lackey fell to their butts, and Gohan started to untie the sack.

"Is this stick fake?" thought the fat man while looking at the remaining part of the stick. He then hit his leg to test it out. "Ouch!! This is definitely real wood," he thought, then he started trembling. "Is this guy a monster? No normal guy can do this kind of thing," thought the fat man as he was afraid for his life.

Gohan untied the sack and opened it to see a small girl of four to five years old. She was tied up and had clothes stuffed in her mouth. She was crying and trembling in fear. "Don't worry, I am here to save you," he said with a smile. The girl looked at his face and stopped trembling. She allowed herself to be carried by him as Gohan took out the clothes from her mouth and started to untie her.

As he was untying her, he started looking at her injuries. There was a small bruise on her forehead, maybe because of the potato sack, and there was a handprint on her cheek. She was slapped. He was getting angrier by the second but he controlled himself.

After he untied her, he asked, "Are you all right? You don't have to worry! Big brother will take you to your mommy and daddy, OK?" Hearing that, the girl started to tremble again, then she threw herself into his embrace and started crying, "waaaahaaaa..."

At the same time, Sanji reached the deck and called out, "Oye Gohan, what are you..." He stopped talking because suddenly the wind stopped blowing, the seawater became still, and the sky started to darken.

"Why is the sky getting darker, and there's no wind? How is this possible?" thought the bewildered Sanji. Gohan brought his trembling hands to embrace the girl, and his face started to contort from anger.

Suddenly, everything around them started to tremble. The ship's deck began to crack. "What's happening today? The sky is getting dark, there's no wind, and now an earthquake?" thought Sanji as he started to lose his balance.

At the same time, everyone was panicking in the restaurant. "Everyone, get under the tables!" said Zeff to the workers in the restaurant. "What kind of earthquake is this that even the sea is trembling?" thought Zeff.

Outside, everything was becoming more chaotic. Ki started to pour out from Gohan's body, and the trembling intensified. Potatoes started levitating and then burst into pieces. Water drops began to levitate, and small drops condensed into tennis ball-sized spheres.

Sanji finally put two and two together. "Gohan is doing this? But how? This shouldn't be possible. Wait! That means he was telling the truth about his father having the power to fight godly beings. Damn it, this is not the time for that. I have to stop him, or he will kill us all."

While everyone feared for their lives, the small girl in Gohan's embrace stopped crying. "Huh? It doesn't hurt anymore, and I feel warm and comfortable," she thought.

"HEY, GOHAN! SNAP OUT OF IT, OR YOU WILL KILL US ALL!" shouted Sanji, but his voice didn't reach Gohan. Sanji and the other two were holding onto the railing to prevent themselves from being blown away. "What kind of monster have we provoked?" thought the fat man, with tears streaming down his face.
