Chapter 43 43: Majin Vegeta Gets Brutally Beaten by Majin Buu!

In truth, it wasn't just Goku who felt that way.

Vegeta—

Also sensed an overwhelming crisis.

"Ha! Who needs to team up with you? I alone am more than enough to deal with this Majin Buu. Kakarot… just stand there and watch how I kill him!"

Even with that looming sense of danger, Vegeta's stubborn pride wouldn't allow him to show fear.

Boom!

The moment his words fell, Vegeta shot forward like a cannonball, instantly closing the distance and punching Majin Buu square in the face.

"Hah! So this is Majin Buu? Nothing special!"

He sneered and followed up with a barrage of punches.

In an instant, Buu's entire face caved in under the assault. Vegeta pulled back and slammed another punch into his stomach, which also sank deeply inward.

"…Something's wrong."

After finishing his combo, Vegeta frowned.

"It feels like… I'm hitting cotton. Like none of this is actually damaging him."

A strange unease crept in.

"Finished?"

A few seconds later, Buu grinned.

He patted his face and rubbed his belly—

Both instantly returned to normal.

Then, smiling innocently, he threw a straight punch.

Boom!

It smashed into Vegeta's face.

Vegeta was sent flying, blood spraying from his mouth.

"Since you're done… now it's my turn."

Buu still wore that harmless smile—

But his narrowed eyes glowed with something dark.

Whoosh!

His plump pink body moved with terrifying agility, appearing behind Vegeta in an instant.

A kick—

Sent Vegeta soaring into the sky.

Boom!

Another flash—

Another strike—

Then—

A brutal downward kick slammed Vegeta into the ground.

A massive crater formed as dust and debris erupted, shaking the entire land.

Seeing this, Krillin's face changed drastically.

"This… this Majin Buu is terrifying! Even a stronger Vegeta got completely crushed?!"

"Now you see… this is Majin Buu…"

Supreme Kai Shin forced a bitter smile.

At this point—

He didn't even know what to say anymore.

Run?

Impossible.

He had never seen Buu personally before—

But the records of the gods made one thing clear.

Buu was unstoppable.

"Lord Shin! We have no choice but to retreat! We can't defeat him!"

Kibito said seriously.

He could use Instant Transmission to escape Earth with Shin—

As for the rest…

They could only report to higher gods.

"Enough, Kibito!"

Shin's expression darkened as he turned and snapped at him.

"If we hadn't dragged Goku and the others into this, they wouldn't be facing this situation!"

"I…"

Kibito lowered his head, speechless.

Hearing this, Zeru glanced at Shin.

His impression of him improved slightly.

Weak—

Yes.

Cowardly—

Perhaps.

But at least—

He had a sense of responsibility.

"DAMN IT!"

A furious roar erupted from the crater.

"I may not beat Kakarot—but there's no way I lose to YOU! MAJIN BUU—DIE!"

Boom!

Vegeta shot back into the sky.

Lightning crackled violently around him. Veins bulged across his forehead, arms, even his neck.

Zeru glanced at him.

His power had risen again.

That was Saiyan nature—

The stronger the opponent, the stronger they became.

And now—

Vegeta's pride had been pushed to its absolute limit.

"Ahh! Ahh!"

Buu clapped his hands excitedly—

Then suddenly—

His expression darkened.

Whoosh!

He vanished—

And reappeared right in front of Vegeta.

Boom!

A single punch—

Drove straight into Vegeta's stomach.

"Gah—!"

Blood burst from Vegeta's mouth.

His face turned red—

Then pale—

Then deathly white.

And then—

Before everyone's eyes—

The beating began.

Boom!

Crash!

"ARGH!"

"Ahh! Ahh!"

Impact after impact echoed through the sky.

Explosions—

Screams—

And Buu's gleeful cries—

Filled the battlefield.

Below, Shin and the others trembled in fear.

"This is bad! I have to help Vegeta! At this rate, Buu will kill him!"

Goku's eyes sharpened.

Without hesitation—

He skipped Super Saiyan 1 and 2—

And transformed directly into Super Saiyan 3.

Power surged violently through him.

But he knew—

This form wasn't perfect.

And it drained energy rapidly.

He had to end this quickly—

Or he would collapse from exhaustion.

"Goku."

Just as he was about to move—

Zeru called out.

"Huh? What is it, Zeru?"

Goku paused.

"Here."

Zeru tossed him a small bottle.

"These are Super Senzu Beans. One counts as two. You can recover instantly—even while fighting."

Inside were twenty Super Senzu Beans.

They worked like normal ones—

But better.

Instant recovery.

No delay.

And even allowed continuous regeneration during battle.

Almost like turning someone into a perpetual engine.

Goku blinked—

Then grinned.

"Thanks!"

He swallowed one immediately.

In an instant—

His condition fully recovered.

Then—

Without hesitation—

He shot toward Majin Buu.

The battle—

Was about to escalate.
