"Fifty-three thousand?!" At this moment, hearing Bardock and the other's surprised exclamations, Rhode narrowed his eyes, smiled, and directly denied, "No, no, no, Kakarot's power is stronger than that. The combat power you detected is merely his hidden power!"
"What?!" As Rhode's words fell, Raditz, who was already astonished, now showed even more disbelief on his face: "How is that possible? Kakarot is just a low-class warrior!" However, when mentioning low-class warrior, Raditz paused, and looked at his father, Bardock, beside him. His father was also a low-class warrior, wasn't he? But now, his father's combat power had already reached over sixty thousand, which he himself was far from matching. By analogy, it was not impossible for his younger brother Kakarot, who was determined to be a low-class warrior at birth, to possess even greater power.
It's just that Kakarot doesn't seem to be an adult yet, does he? If he already possesses such high combat power before adulthood, wouldn't he be even more terrifying when he reaches adulthood and enters his peak? What exactly happened to Kakarot? Why did such an incredible thing happen? At this moment, upon learning that his younger brother Kakarot actually possessed such formidable power, Raditz found it truly hard to accept.
After all, he himself was a true elite warrior, and he was already an adult, yet his combat power had just barely exceeded ten thousand. Could it be that the method of detecting and judging warrior ranks on Planet Vegeta was fundamentally flawed?! Perhaps, compared to his father and Kakarot, he was actually the one with the worst talent? For a moment, Raditz began to doubt his own talent. After all, if not for that, it would be one thing for his father, a low-class warrior, to possess such immense power, but why was his younger brother Kakarot, also a low-class warrior, so abnormal?
Unlike Raditz's many thoughts, Bardock, upon hearing of Kakarot's strength, while equally filled with shock, was also more curious and inquisitive, wanting to know how he achieved it. After all, as a low-class warrior, Bardock had gone through a lot to achieve his current combat power. As for Gine, although she was equally surprised, she was more happy that Kakarot not only survived safely but also possessed such great power.
"Currently, a Martial Arts Tournament is being held on Earth. Well, it's an event where experts exchange and compete. Kakarot is there," Rhode's clone corrected the three's understanding of Kakarot's strength and briefly explained the current situation.
"A Martial Arts Tournament? That's quite interesting!" After understanding the contents of the Martial Arts Tournament, Bardock and Raditz both showed eagerness. However, thinking of Kakarot's current strength, both of them also had doubts: "With Kakarot being so powerful, wouldn't the champion of the Martial Arts Tournament be none other than him?" Thinking of the situation detected by the combat power scouter just now, although many so-called experts gathered at the venue of the Martial Arts Tournament, Kakarot's power was clearly in a league of its own, far surpassing others. Under such circumstances, wouldn't the final winner of this so-called Martial Arts Tournament be obvious?
"That may not be the case!" Facing their words, Rhode's clone smiled mysteriously and pointed at himself: "Can you beat me?"
"This..." Hearing Rhode's clone say this, Gine was fine, but Bardock and Raditz's expressions shifted, and they thought of a possibility: "You mean, there are other experts at the Martial Arts Tournament who are extremely strong themselves, but whose power the scouter cannot detect?" It must be! Although they asked this question, they gave themselves the answer before Rhode's clone could respond. After all, they had just experienced such a scene. The person in front of them only had five combat power on the scouter, but the power gap between them was like a chasm. The opponent couldn't even be stopped by a mere glance.
"Hehe, that's right!" Facing their self-questioning and self-answering, Rhode smiled and agreed with their thoughts.
Upon receiving Rhode's confirmation, Bardock's expression was strange, while Raditz couldn't help but complain: "Didn't they say Earth was just a weak and barren planet? How does it have so many powerful beings?"
"Alright, that's enough about the situation. Let's talk about the next arrangements." At this point, Rhode's gaze swept over the three of them, and after a moment's thought, he spoke, "I know you all want to see Kakarot quickly, so I'll take you there now!"
Among the three in front of him, setting aside Gine and Bardock, even Raditz, who was originally cold-hearted, treacherous, and cunning, was now considered acceptable. Therefore, after a good talking-to and scaring them with the fact that Earth was full of experts, it would be no problem to take them to reunite with Goku's family.
"By the way, my name is Rhode. As for your names and identities, I already know them clearly, so there's no need to introduce yourselves." As he spoke, Rhode introduced himself. Seeing that they were about to introduce themselves, he interrupted the three, saying with a confident look: "Bardock, Gine, Raditz, you are all Kakarot's family, right?"
Hearing Rhode's words, the three became even more wary of him. What kind of power was this, that it could instantly discern someone's identity! Perhaps, even when their spaceship was still deep in space, Rhode already knew their purpose.
For a time, as the power and methods displayed by Rhode became increasingly mysterious and unfathomable, Bardock and the other two were filled with deep awe for him and for this originally unnoticed planet beneath their feet.
"Let's go!" Feeling what the three were thinking, Rhode was quite satisfied. Awe was good; this way, they wouldn't act recklessly.
"Rhode, I've been thinking, since Kakarot is participating in the Martial Arts Tournament, we should also participate. It would be a good opportunity to witness the strong individuals on Earth!" Although there was the example of Rhode, whose apparent combat power was not strong but whose actual power was extremely terrifying, Bardock still didn't believe that there would be many people like him on a small Earth.
"Oh?" Hearing Bardock say this, and sensing his thoughts, Rhode gave him a meaningful look and casually agreed, "That's a good idea. Alright, I'll arrange it!"
Among the three, Bardock was the strongest, with a combat power of over sixty thousand. With such power, besides Saitama, whom he transformed into, and Baobao-jie, whom Aira transformed into, only Goku could fight him. Although Raditz was not as strong as Bardock, he also possessed over ten thousand combat power, which made him a strong contender among the participants.
Moreover, Rhode really wanted to see Raditz get thrashed by Goku. No, first thrash big brother Raditz, and then have a father-son duel. Thinking of that scene, Rhode was actually a little excited for a moment.
