"It's nothing. Don't worry about it," Goku said with a laugh.
"Damn it… No matter what, those powerful Saibamen couldn't even kill that guy… and one of them ended up blowing me up instead. The more I think about it, the more something feels wrong!" Nappa growled angrily.
Suddenly, he pointed at Goku.
"Kakarot! Let's have some fun, just you and me!"
"I already told you. You're not my opponent," Goku replied calmly.
"Hmph! I'll show you my true power right now!" Nappa sneered.
His aura erupted violently.
A vast surge of energy spread outward from his body.
"Hahahaha!"
Nappa laughed wildly as his power shook the ground.
The earth trembled lightly beneath their feet.
Feeling the terrifying energy pouring off him, Piccolo and the others turned pale.
This guy's power is insane…
"So, what do you think, Kakarot?" Nappa mocked. "You think kicking me twice earlier means you can beat me?"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, Nappa smashed the remaining four Saibamen one by one with his fists and kicks.
They exploded instantly.
"The game's over. These things are as weak as paper!" Nappa laughed arrogantly. "Prince Vegeta, you don't mind if I wipe them all out, right?"
Vegeta clicked his tongue in annoyance.
Why are you wasting time on them?
Are you that bored?
"These guys aren't even worth fighting anymore. Now I'll take care of Kakarot and his friends!" Nappa roared, his power surging again.
Crack… crack…
Lightning-like arcs danced around his body.
Goku blinked in surprise.
"Wow… that's impressive," he muttered. "You almost look like Super Saiyan 2…"
"Super Saiyan?" Vegeta's eyes widened.
"What did you just say?" Nappa froze.
"Nothing. Don't worry about it," Goku replied with a smile.
Vegeta frowned deeply.
I definitely heard him say 'Super Saiyan.'
How does Kakarot know about that?
Did Raditz tell him?
And what does 'Super Saiyan 2' even mean?
"Haha… it really does look similar… too bad you're bald," Goku muttered to himself. "And the eye and eyebrow colors are wrong… your beard should be gold too…"
"Goku, what are you talking about?" Krillin asked nervously, trembling. "Did that huge power scare you silly?"
"It's fine, Krillin. Leave it to me," Goku said confidently.
"Y-You're sure, Goku?" Piccolo asked in a low voice, sweat sliding down his face.
"Yeah." Goku nodded.
"Hahaha! You idiots! The Kakarot you're relying on is just a low-class warrior!" Nappa roared. "And he's the weakest one in your group!"
"That's impossible!" Krillin shouted.
"I don't believe it!" Tien shook his head.
"There's no way Goku's weaker than us!" Yamcha added.
"Believe it or not, I'll kill him right now and make you feel true despair!" Nappa snarled.
With explosive speed, he charged straight at Goku.
"Watch out!" Krillin cried.
"Goku!" Yamcha shouted.
Tien and Chiaotzu broke out in cold sweat.
"Dad!" Gohan covered his eyes in fear.
I shouldn't have come… this is too scary…
Nappa closed the distance instantly and threw a heavy punch.
Goku merely tilted his body slightly and dodged with ease.
Bang!
He countered with a swift uppercut straight to Nappa's chest.
"Pff—!"
Blood sprayed several meters.
Nappa collapsed onto Goku, his consciousness fading.
"W-What?! One punch?!" Vegeta was stunned.
How is that possible?
Kakarot took him down with a single punch?!
Nappa had just released all his power.
And yet…
Kakarot dodged effortlessly and knocked him out in one blow.
Piccolo, Krillin, and the others were dumbfounded.
That Saiyan looked so strong…
And he got flattened with one punch?
Are we seeing things?
"Hey, can you still fight?" Goku smiled, patting Nappa's rough face.
"Y-You bastard! I'm an elite Saiyan warrior! You're just low-class trash… How could I lose to you?!" Nappa staggered back, trying to retreat.
But Goku was faster.
He kicked Nappa square in the chest.
Nappa flew backward toward Vegeta.
"Hmph!" Vegeta snorted and kicked him skyward.
"Waaah!" Nappa screamed. "What are you doing, Vegeta?!"
"I don't need Saiyans who can't fight," Vegeta sneered.
His energy flared.
Boom!
A massive blast engulfed Nappa, reducing him to ashes.
Goku: "..."
Goku didn't try to stop it.
He knew very well how despicable Nappa was.
In his previous life, after being defeated, Nappa had even tried to harm Gohan and Krillin.
So this outcome didn't surprise him.
"Hmph." Vegeta glanced at Goku, a faint smile on his lips.
"So cruel… he even killed his own partner," Krillin said grimly.
"He'll change in the future," Goku said, smiling and patting Krillin's shoulder.
"Goku, that short guy is clearly much stronger than the big one," Piccolo said seriously. "Are you sure you can handle him?"
"I heard that big guy call him 'Prince Vegeta,'" Yamcha said bitterly.
"Yeah, me too," Krillin added nervously. "Does that mean he's Saiyan royalty?"
"He's the Saiyan prince," Goku replied.
"A prince?!" Yamcha was stunned.
"What?! He's a prince?!" Krillin exclaimed.
Piccolo: "..."
