"Stop!" Goku shouted.
Goku had already figured it out—the Dragon Balls should be avoided unless absolutely necessary.
Although the Shadow Dragons wouldn't appear for nearly 30 years.
By that time, I should already have power that surpasses the Shadow Dragons.
But who knows if the Dragon Balls might produce even greater side effects?
Goku had made up his mind—unless absolutely necessary, he would never use the Dragon Balls, and especially wouldn't make wishes.
Right, I forgot something very important.
I need to find time to go to the Lookout and hide those seven Black Star Dragon Balls somewhere.
Maybe I should hide them in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber?
If I hide them there, they should be really hard to find!
Today I'll deal with Vegeta and Nappa first, then go look for those Black Star Dragon Balls.
Seeing Goku and Gohan suddenly appear, Nappa was startled, and his actions came to an abrupt halt.
Even Vegeta looked at the appearing Goku and Gohan with some surprise.
"Kakarot! It really is you?" Nappa looked Goku up and down. "You've really been revived!"
"This isn't the place to talk. Follow me." Goku didn't want to hurt innocent people.
Fighting here could easily cause casualties among the city's people and animals if they weren't careful.
So Goku wanted to relocate the battlefield.
"What are you trying to do?" Nappa smiled slightly and pressed the button on his scouter. "Power level 960, 1083! Not bad!"
Vegeta remained silent, just calmly observing Goku, though his brow furrowed slightly.
Something feels off about Kakarot.
As for what exactly was off, Vegeta wasn't quite sure.
The other one must be his son, Gohan, right?
According to the data from the scouter, Kakarot's power level was even lower than his son's.
But I can tell at a glance that Kakarot is definitely stronger than his son.
"Let's fight somewhere uninhabited!" Goku suggested.
"Go somewhere uninhabited? I see." Nappa suddenly understood, smiling contemptuously. "But there's no need to go that far. I'll satisfy your request right now!"
As he spoke, Nappa suddenly raised his hand upward, and invisible energy spread wildly from his palm.
Goku's brow furrowed, his expression changing.
Without a moment's hesitation, Goku quickly struck.
"Bang!"
Goku kicked out, landing a direct hit on Nappa's chest.
Accompanied by a thunderous sound, Nappa flew backward.
Vegeta's pupils contracted slightly, his eye twitching.
What speed!
I couldn't even see how Kakarot kicked!
"Follow me! Vegeta!" Goku grabbed Gohan and called out to Vegeta, then quickly pursued Nappa's direction.
Vegeta: "????"
How does he know my name?
Did Raditz tell him?
Might as well follow and see!
I don't believe a low-class warrior can surpass me, an elite warrior.
"Hmph." Vegeta snorted, but didn't intend to destroy the city either, and followed at an unhurried pace.
Nappa was kicked several thousand meters away by Goku to the outskirts.
"Damn it!" Nappa gritted his teeth in anger.
Just now, Nappa had tumbled through the air countless times, and now his head was buzzing, feeling dizzy.
I was actually kicked flying by a low-class warrior.
This guy's power level isn't even 1000!
My power level is so high—how is this possible?
Goku hadn't used his full strength, just planning to chase Nappa to an uninhabited area first.
"Pop!"
Nappa immediately stabilized his body in mid-air, glaring at the pursuing Goku with humiliation and rage.
"There are still people down below. Let's go somewhere more remote!" As Goku spoke, he kicked out again.
"You think the same trick will work on me?" Nappa's nose was crooked with anger. Watching Goku's incoming kick, he reached out with his large hand to grab Goku's ankle.
But it was completely useless.
In the face of absolute power, Nappa's actions were completely meaningless.
"Bang!"
Goku kicked Nappa once again.
"Ahhh..."
Nappa let out a pig-like scream, his body tumbling rapidly through the air again, flying toward the wilderness outside the city.
Vegeta's mouth twitched violently, his expression growing increasingly ugly.
What's going on?
Nappa got kicked flying by Kakarot again?
If the first time was because Nappa was careless, then this time...
Vegeta increasingly felt something was off about Kakarot.
Gohan stood to the side, completely stunned.
Dad's become this powerful?
"Good, there's no one around here. Let's fight here." Goku glanced below and greeted Vegeta.
"Hmph, you're talking like it's going to be some intense battle." Vegeta smiled lightly, not particularly concerned.
"Go down!" As Goku spoke, he waved his hand through the air at Nappa.
An invisible energy quickly acted on Nappa's body, directly smashing him down from the sky.
"Boom!"
Nappa crashed heavily into the ground, leaving a small crater.
The next moment, Nappa scrambled up from the ground looking disheveled, trembling with rage.
Goku and Vegeta slowly descended as well.
Gohan hid behind his father, not daring to make eye contact with Vegeta.
"Vegeta, you really haven't changed at all!" Goku laughed heartily and waved at Vegeta.
Vegeta was slightly stunned.
What do you mean by that?
What do you mean I haven't changed at all?
"Vegeta, I know what your wish is. Why don't you just give up?" Goku smiled and advised. "After all, that kind of wish probably can't be granted anyway."
Vegeta: "..."
Vegeta's face darkened.
What are you trying to say to me?
Why are you acting like you know me so well?
I've never met you!
Besides, I'm an elite warrior—you're just a low-class warrior. What right do you have to act so familiar with me?
"What do you mean?" Vegeta was startled.
"You came to Earth this time to wish for immortality, right?" Goku smiled.
Vegeta: "..."
"Hmph, looks like you know quite a bit!" Vegeta snorted.
"That wish can't be granted." Goku shook his head.
"You... what did you say? It can't be granted? Why not?" Vegeta was astonished.
"Even if you really did wish for immortality, if you get sealed away, that would be worse than death." At this point, Goku lowered his voice. "Our Piccolo here... his father was sealed in a rice cooker for several hundred years..."
Vegeta: "..."
As they were talking, Piccolo descended from the sky.
