Goku's curiosity heightened as Whis urgently summoned them amidst the ongoing battle. Alongside Vegeta, he swiftly soared towards Whis, keen to unravel the reason behind the unexpected call. Noticing their approach, Whis extended the invitation to Broly, ensuring everyone was present for the impending revelation. With a measured tone, Whis commenced his explanation, shedding light on the mysterious circumstances that had prompted this unusual interruption.
"Goku, a warrant looms over you as Head Captain Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto commands Ichigo Kurosaki to capture you and return you to the Soul Society. Be cautious, for Kurosaki Ichigo is renowned as the strongest substitute Soul Reaper, and whispers suggest he may even surpass the formidable Head Captain Yamamoto in power. The impending confrontation adds an extra layer of intensity to your journey.."
"So, I'm set to face the strongest Soul Reaper? That's fantastic news!" Goku's face lit up with excitement as he welcomed the upcoming challenge.
Vegeta, however, grew angered and retorted,
""Why does it always revolve around Kakarot? I am the Saiyan Prince and the mightiest Saiyan alive. They should be picking a fight with me instead of targeting this fool,"
Ignoring Whis's words, Vegeta grumbled in frustration, his Saiyan pride asserting dominance. Without further ado, he turned on his heels and walked away. Calling Broly to join him, Vegeta engaged in an impromptu spar, channeling his vexation into the intense training session with the legendary Saiyan.
"It's not just about your pride, Vegeta,"
Whis intoned, pointing his gaze directly at the Saiyan Prince.
"Ichigo is different from the foes you've faced before. He's not a bad villain; it's merely the twist of fate that has led to this inevitable confrontation between all of you."
Goku looked at his hands, sensing a unique energy. A feeling of anticipation filled him, as if this battle held something distinct. Despite the thrill of facing Ichigo, a lingering curiosity prompted Goku to question why Head Captain Yamamoto had specifically ordered Ichigo to capture him. Thoughts of the unknown intricacies behind this directive stirred in Goku's mind as the impending clash approached.
Whis gazed at Goku with a serious demeanor and confessed,
"I don't want to deceive you, Goku. Ichigo surpasses the strength of both you and Vegeta even in fusion. Not even Broly or Jiren would pose a significant challenge to him. To confront this formidable opponent, you'll need assistance from another world."
At that moment, the black and white-furred cat strolled out of Lord Beerus's room, capturing the attention of those present with an air of mysterious significance.
