Whoosh!
After sensing Vegeta and Nappa, Zeru instantly used Instant Transmission to arrive at Kame House.
Goku and the others were all gathered there. In addition, Raditz—who had arrived on Earth a year ago—was also present.
Zeru glanced at him.
Although Raditz had been hanging around with the Z Fighters, he hadn't improved much and was still somewhat disliked.
A year ago, his power level was around 10,000.
Now?
Only 10,700.
"Prince Vegeta has arrived!"
After Zeru greeted everyone, Raditz suddenly spoke.
"Prince Vegeta?"
Goku frowned. "Raditz, are you sure this Vegeta guy isn't evil? He won't hurt people on Earth, right?"
Raditz smiled. "Don't worry. Prince Vegeta would never harm Earth's humans!"
Though internally—
He sighed.
In the past, they would've conquered Earth without hesitation.
But now…
He glanced at Goku and the others, then secretly looked at Zeru.
Another heavy sigh.
Too many strong people.
They didn't dare.
Raditz had already accepted reality—
If you can't beat them, join them.
That's why over the past year, he hadn't focused on training. Instead, he tried to build relationships with Goku and the others, hoping to learn their methods for rapid growth.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
At that moment, Vegeta and Nappa arrived above Kame House.
"Prince Vegeta, Raditz is waving at us below," Nappa said quietly.
"Hmph. I thought he was dead," Vegeta sneered as he descended. "Turns out he's been mingling with this bunch."
He landed on the beach, scanned the crowd—
Then fixed his gaze on Raditz.
"Raditz… you've disappointed me."
"Prince Vegeta!"
Raditz stepped forward and bowed.
"Earth isn't as weak as we thought! My brother Kakarot is incredibly strong, and even the Earthlings are far stronger than me!"
"Hah! You expect me to believe that?"
Vegeta's eyes turned cold.
"You've been brainwashed."
A backward planet like this—
How could it possibly have strong warriors?
"Prince Vegeta, please believe me!"
Raditz tried to explain—
But Vegeta didn't give him the chance.
He raised his hand—
And fired a Energy beam.
At such close range—
Even Goku didn't react in time.
Raditz was killed instantly.
A few seconds later—
Goku's expression darkened.
His biological brother—
Had just been killed.
"So… you're Kakarot."
Vegeta spoke calmly, his tone commanding.
"Raditz is dead. Now, I need your help. He was a failure… I hope you'll be a better subordinate."
"Heh… interesting."
Zeru chuckled lightly. "Raditz didn't die at Goku's hands… but at Vegeta's."
Boom!
At that moment—
Goku's aura exploded.
His power skyrocketed.
50,000…
100,000…
200,000…
…
At 250,000—
Vegeta and Nappa's pupils shrank violently.
"You…!"
Both of them pointed at Goku, stunned.
"Ha!"
Goku didn't respond.
He moved instantly—
Appearing in front of Vegeta.
Boom!
One punch.
Bang!
"Pfft!"
Vegeta was sent flying, blood spraying from his mouth.
When he hit the ground—
His face turned pale.
"Prince Vegeta!"
Nappa rushed over, helping him up.
"Are you alright?!"
"This guy…"
Vegeta coughed, blood spilling from his lips.
His face was pale, his expression dark.
"Raditz… wasn't lying."
"His strength… is terrifying."
"…Should we retreat?"
Nappa suggested nervously.
If even Vegeta wasn't a match—
Then staying meant death.
"Leave… just like that?"
Vegeta clenched his fists.
He was unwilling.
Not just because of Goku's strength—
But because—
He wanted him.
A warrior like this—
Had to serve him.
"Kakarot!"
Vegeta stood upright, forcing his composure.
"I am the Prince of all Saiyans. My bloodline is supreme. You are merely a low-class warrior."
"I command you—return to my side!"
"Your command means nothing."
Goku's voice turned cold.
"If you came to conquer Earth—then don't even think about leaving alive."
"But if you just want me to follow you and do evil—give up now."
"Hmph…"
Vegeta sneered, about to respond—
Whoosh!
Goku moved again.
In an instant—
He was in front of Vegeta.
His leg rose—
And slammed down.
Boom!
Vegeta was crushed into the sand.
"You…!"
"Bastard!"
Nappa roared and charged forward—
Boom!
Krillin, who had been quietly watching, raised his hand—
And fired a blast.
With only 15,000 power—
Nappa stood no chance.
Against Krillin's 50,000—
He was instantly annihilated.
With Nappa dead—
Vegeta's mind began to unravel.
Buried in the sand—
His expression turned dazed.
What… was the point of coming to Earth?
To recruit?
To conquer?
Or…
To die?
