"Roar!"
It was a massive Cougar, its body length reaching the species' limit, over two meters long, with a shoulder height of eighty centimeters. Beneath its sleek, gray fur flowed powerful, streamlined muscles. Its long tail swayed, muscles alternately tense and relaxed, as it continuously roared in a display of dominance.
It was just bluffing, it still hadn't figured out how it got caught.
Broly, riding the Flying Nimbus, circled the desert several times before finding the king of the Cougars. He'd tossed it into a large pit he'd blasted out with his Ki.
"Kakarot, you jump in yourself. If you get killed, that means that's all the potential you have."
He'd been training Kakarot for fifteen days. It was time for a phase test. The intense training had unearthed Kakarot's potential. As long as she didn't fail due to fear, the Cougar wouldn't be able to take her life.
Saiyans were called a warrior race, mostly because of their power increase when near death, not because of their inherent strength. Without the protagonist's luck, they'd easily die instead of being revived after a near-death experience. Akira Toriyama only called them a warrior race, not the strongest warrior race.
In reality, the average Saiyan's strength wasn't high. Raditz seemed weak, but he was already a genius warrior among the Saiyans.
The successive Super Saiyans in the later parts of the manga gave readers the illusion that Saiyans were all incredibly strong. In reality, the Ginyu Force, Dodoria, and Zarbon under Frieza's command looked down on the Saiyans. The Saiyans held a very low status under Frieza.
Even the genius Saiyan warrior, Vegeta, wasn't their match before his power-up in the Earth saga.
The reason Frieza wanted to destroy the Saiyans wasn't because of their strength, but because of the seemingly ethereal legend of the Super Saiyan.
In Akira Toriyama's interviews, he described the Saiyan social structure. After a baby was born, their battle power would be immediately measured. If the value was higher than the baseline, they would be raised as a candidate for a warrior. If their battle power didn't increase after a while, they would either become technicians or be sent on a spaceship to some planet.
If they could grow strong enough to conquer a planet, they could return home as a lower-class warrior. Lower-class warriors didn't sound good, but they were already members of the ruling class among the Saiyans.
Only those geniuses whose battle power continuously increased in their infancy would be considered upper-class warriors.
Raditz was one of the few geniuses directly judged as an upper-class warrior, assigned to Nappa's team, a team of high-born Saiyans, and participating in battles and plundering planets from a young age. Prince Vegeta, on the other hand, only joined the team later, but due to his powerful battle strength and princely status, he directly replaced Nappa as the team leader.
The average battle power of Saiyans wasn't high. As space pirates, they were better at bullying the weak, plundering ordinary planets, but they were subservient to the stronger Frieza. In this environment, few Saiyans would fight until near death to use that method to increase their battle power.
Raditz was the ceiling that ordinary Saiyans could reach. If he let Kakarot grow up wildly, she might not even be as good as Raditz.
Kakarot saw the Cougar roaring in the pit. With a childish roar, she jumped in.
The Cougar was first startled by the human who suddenly jumped in, quickly creating distance, and then began to circle, testing. Kakarot then struck a Satan Style starting pose, constantly adjusting her posture, facing the Cougar head-on. Her slightly chubby face was very serious.
After the two faced off for two or three minutes, the Cougar, as a beast, finally decided to attack. In its experience, this human child was very weak, and it could bite it to death in one bite.
The Cougar's attack method mainly relied on its powerful shoulder muscles to pull the prey in front of it, then use its teeth to tear the arteries and kill the prey. Its agile body, powerful strength, and deadly bite made it a top predator in the Americas.
Kakarot appeared very calm, blocking the Cougar's front claws with her hands, then kicking its jaw.
This kick sent the Cougar flying, crashing into the wall of the pit.
The Cougar whined, quickly standing up, and cautiously staring at Kakarot. It realized that the human in front of it wasn't simple.
But the treacherousness of animals is limited. Without intelligence, the Cougar's attack methods were quite simple; besides using its claws to claw, it could only bite.
After Kakarot saw through its three-trick attack, it was soon pinned to the ground and unable to move.
Kakarot grabbed the big cat's neck and rode on its body. Before long, the Cougar let out a pleading whimper.
The powerful force coming from its neck was almost suffocating it.
Kakarot hesitated for a moment and let go. The Cougar, free from its confinement, greedily gasped, licking its tongue in a servile manner, wagging its tail, just like a big cat.
"Hey, Broly, how about we don't eat it?"
Kakarot was still a child and was immediately attracted by the Cougar's cuteness, raising her head and asking Broly above.
Broly was a little surprised by Kakarot's progress. He had originally thought that Kakarot would have a harder time dealing with the Cougar, but he didn't expect her to solve it so easily. Right now, in hand-to-hand combat, she should be able to beat two Wades. If she mastered the technique of concentrating Ki on her fist from the Satan Style, beating five Wades wouldn't be difficult.
He had decided to fly a further distance to catch some brown bears or lions to be Kakarot's opponents.
"You can, as long as you're responsible for its food." Broly said. "Be careful, don't let this beast sneakily bite your throat."
This Cougar was untamed. It was only temporarily submitting to Kakarot's power, and he believed that it would soon retaliate or escape.
"No, right, Gulu!"
Kakarot had already given the Cougar a name.
Gulu immediately licked its tongue in a flattering manner.
Broly grabbed Kakarot with one hand and the Cougar with the other, leaping out of the pit. His powerful aura scared Gulu into trembling, almost shitting itself.
He found that because of Kakarot's gender, although she was still very warlike and brutal, she didn't have the cunning and bloodlust unique to male Saiyans. This should be considered an advantage, at least raising her would be less troublesome.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS
ps: In many people's impressions, Saiyans are just Goku's family, and later Vegeta and Trunks. In fact, they are not Saiyans in the traditional sense. The first few Saiyans who appeared, Raditz, Nappa, and early Vegeta, were all trash who liked to bully the weak and wantonly slaughter others. When they encountered strong opponents, they would directly be defeated. Except for Vegeta, almost no Saiyan on Planet Vegeta had a battle power exceeding 10,000. People often argue in the book that Saiyans are born warriors and don't need to learn martial arts. Anyone who has watched Dragon Ball knows that Vegeta learned many techniques on Earth, and Frieza also learned Krillin's Destructo Disc. Even Broly in the Dragon Ball Super movie wasn't that strong at the beginning, being suppressed by base Vegeta. He only gained the upper hand after rapidly learning combat techniques based on his talent. It's very annoying to write fan fiction. Many argumentative people's statements make people doubt whether they have read the original work, and they also like to bring up their own bizarre settings to argue with the official settings. I'm really fed up.
