Dragon Ball Vol. 23 — Manga Raw / Buy Official

Seventeen and the others keep even Piccolo, Super Saiyan Vegeta, and Trunks at bay; the warriors are helpless. The warning from future Trunks is already shared, and the vision of androids destroying the world overlaps with the present. Then imperfect Cell, grown from Goku's cells by Dr. Gero's computer, shows himself. Cell absorbs humans, eats city after city, and fattens his body while aiming to absorb 17 and 18 and evolve to perfection. Two threats gnaw the earth at once, and no one can halt the advance. Each absorption makes Cell stronger; only the speed at which towns vanish accelerates. While a merger of Kami and Piccolo is weighed, Cell's predation spreads without pause from provincial cities to the next town.
