Ouch. That cut sounds like it hurts. Poor Armada. Luckily Trunks is apparently handy with a needle. Must've needed it after having the crap beat out of his by the androids so many times. Thanks for the update!

Whoo hoo! Love the new update!

I remember something relatively similar to this story way back in the day. I also think you started out perfectly. Great Job!

I do however have one qualm about possibilities for future problems, and it is a bit of a rant too. I don't mind the fact that people can keep up with a semi-powered up trunks, meaning a percentage of his base strength. But there should be absolutely no one in the universe who should be able to keep up with a super saiyan or a fully powered up base level Trunks unless they are an android or a demon.

This can be proven by both DBZ and DBGT. First anyone who had even a remote percentage of a Base level Trunks would have tried to overthrow the cold empire and the ginyu force 30 years prior. The most powerful people in the Freeza's forces were the Ginyu force. And they never lost a battle let alone had a hard fight so at most an individual would be as strong as Vegeta when he first came to earth then trained for 30 years to get stronger. So no one in the Universe should be much higher than Captain Ginyu's level in the present time. I say this assuming that an individual was at the level of Vegeta when he first went to Earth and trained for a like 30 years(to the present) to finally reach Ginyu's level. Meaning Armada should be on Ginyu's level. The only reason Goku and Vegeta were able to make giant jumps in their power level is because of the special ability that is unique to saiyans, where they get stronger after every battle. Plus Super Saiyan is a huge multiplier much like the kaio ken is. So for an individual to reach the level of a super saiyan they would have to have trained up to a base level Trunks(impossible) then train their power level to be about 50 times Trunks base level(also impossible).

This is also proven in the Buu saga, where Babidi accumulated the strongest people in the Universe to help him fight. The only people who were as strong as a super saiyan were not normal individuals, like a demon king and a huge monster. So thieves and mercenaries should be no where near the base level of trunks.
This is also proven in DBGT where they traveled the universe and the only time they found people who were strong was when they fought the strongest people on a particular planet, whom was either artificially created or was much like Dabura, a demon.

While I thoroughly enjoyed the first 2 chapters and so far you did nothing wrong. Trunks did not have to power up once and I definitely agree that there should be very strong fighters in the universe, maybe all the way up to the level of Freeza's power, but that should be no where near Trunk's base level let alone super saiyan level. Trunks base level should be much stronger than Freeza at 100 percent now. What I mean by this is mercenaries and thieves and random's should not be more powerful than Freeza. But there will be exceptions to the rule like demons and Armada should be no where near Trunk's level of power. This is also proven in otherworld, where the strongest beings in the universe have gathered and have been training for thousands of years. None of them were able to match Goku as a Super Saiyan except Paikon. Also The Supreme Kai is not even as strong as a Super Saiyan 2, so a random individual who has been fighting their whole life that does not have the unique saiyan trait should not be that strong.

I know I ranted a bit, but I really enjoyed the start of the story, and it could very well be ruined if logic and reason isn't put in the fight scenes. Now I know some people find it boring making Z-fighters the strongest everywhere, but that has to be the case based off of canon. The dbz universe wouldn't exist if everyone and their mother was able to blow up a planet without a second thought. Vegeta was able to do that when he first came to Earth.

That is just my thoughts on it.

Love the new chapter!
