A few minutes later, Zeru arrived at Kame House.
"Big Brother Zeru!"
"Zeru!"
"Uncle Zeru!"
…
The moment he appeared, everyone on the island turned toward him, greeting him warmly.
"Hey, long time no see! Gohan's gotten a bit taller, huh?"
Zeru greeted everyone before shifting his gaze to the little boy standing beside Goku, smiling.
"Hehe!"
Gohan scratched the back of his head shyly.
"Hm?!"
Suddenly, Goku frowned and turned toward a distant direction.
"What's wrong?"
Krillin noticed the change in his expression.
"There's a powerful energy heading this way!"
Goku explained.
"What?!"
Krillin was startled at first, but then relaxed, waving his hand dismissively. "We're not the same as before. There's no way someone stronger than us exists on Earth!"
"But don't you think it's strange?"
Goku's brows remained tightly knit. The aura felt oddly familiar.
"What's so strange? The world is big—anything can happen."
Krillin shrugged and walked off to play with Master Roshi's turtle.
Whoosh!
A few minutes later, a long-haired man in battle armor flew into view.
"He's here."
Seeing the man, Zeru smiled with anticipation.
He was curious to see Raditz's reaction after discovering everyone's strength.
In the original story, no one present could match Raditz. Their power levels had been pitifully low.
But now—
Things were completely different.
Zeru had trained the Z Fighters whenever he had time.
At present, Goku was the strongest, with a power level of 200,000.
Next was Piccolo, at 85,000.
Then Krillin, Tien, and Yamcha, each ranging between 40,000 and nearly 50,000.
And Raditz?
Only 10,000.
Thud!
As Zeru finished his thoughts, Raditz descended from the sky and landed.
Arms crossed, he looked down on everyone arrogantly, scanning each person before fixing his gaze on Goku.
"Finally found you. Even though you've grown, I recognized you instantly."
Raditz smirked as he called out Goku's Saiyan name.
"Kakarot."
"Hm? Kakarot?"
Goku frowned. This wasn't the first time he'd heard that name.
"You look exactly like Father."
Raditz continued. "But why haven't you destroyed Earth? Wasn't your mission to wipe out all humans?"
His tone grew harsher as he scanned the group—then his eyes landed on Gohan behind Goku.
His expression changed.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
His scouter activated.
Soon, a four-digit number appeared.
"3… 3000 power level?!"
Raditz's eyes widened in shock.
"Who is that?! Kakarot, is this your son?!"
"Yes."
Goku answered cautiously.
"Hahaha! Incredible! Your son has far more potential than you! 3000 power level—this trip was worth it!"
Raditz burst into laughter, clearly delighted.
"Who exactly are you?"
Goku asked in a low voice.
"Who am I? Have you forgotten? My dear little brother, Kakarot—I'm your brother, Raditz!"
Raditz sneered. "But that doesn't matter. Prince Vegeta needs more warriors. You and your son are coming with me!"
"Brother?"
Goku froze, then turned to Zeru.
"Big Brother Zeru… I have a brother?!"
"Yes."
Zeru nodded.
Hearing this, Raditz shifted his gaze toward Zeru. The moment he saw the tail wrapped around his waist, his pupils shrank.
"You… you're a Saiyan too?!"
"Is that surprising?"
Zeru smiled faintly.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Raditz narrowed his eyes and scanned Zeru's power level.
But the next second—
Boom!
His scouter exploded.
"Y-you…!"
Raditz staggered back in shock, pointing at Zeru.
"Your power level…!"
His modified scouter could measure up to around 30,000.
But it exploded.
That meant—
Zeru's power level far exceeded 30,000.
"Impossible… how can you be this strong?!"
Raditz was stunned.
Even Prince Vegeta, after years of training, had only reached around 50,000.
And this man?
Easily above 30,000.
"How strong am I?"
Zeru asked knowingly, a playful smile on his face.
Then he pointed at Goku.
"Forget about me. Do you know how strong your little brother is?"
"How strong?"
Raditz instinctively asked.
"Goku, release your full power. Let your brother feel it."
Zeru said with a smile.
