A Dejected Vegeta
"Dad, this person is so arrogant."
Faced with Nappa's arrogant remarks, Piccolo and Goku remained silent, but Bulla showed his indignation. This big oaf wasn't very strong, and he didn't even have good eyesight. Anyone with a little knowledge should have been able to see Piccolo's strength.
Bulla seemed to have forgotten that they were still hiding their true power.
"Someone's come out to die. I'd like to experience what kind of fear you're talking about!" Piccolo smiled coldly, his whole body enveloped in a chilling aura. He twisted his wrists and neck, then took off his cloak, assuming a fighting stance.
"Hehe, you'll see in a minute."
Nappa licked his lips, then roared, creating a tremendous shockwave. The Scouter beeped loudly, its value soaring to 12,000.
"Huh, that's interesting. Your combat power has actually increased significantly." Piccolo was surprised, then a slight smile appeared on his lips as he casually walked towards Nappa.
"Hey, this is my strongest form. I'm so tired of having to hide it all the time. Hey, Vegeta, how about we take over Earth after we deal with Kakarot and these rebels? The natives here look exactly like Saiyan; maybe we can breed some new descendants."
Nappa was so engrossed in his immense power that he was completely unaware of the danger approaching him.
"Enough talk, kill that Namekian first."
Vegeta had no interest in procreation. He glanced coldly at Nappa before turning to Piccolo, his brows furrowing slightly. For some reason, he felt uneasy, as if something was about to happen.
"Knew."
Nappa shouted at Vegeta, gave a cold laugh, and suddenly exerted force with his legs, shooting out like an arrow. A cloud of dust rose from the ground, and the solid ground suddenly collapsed, cracking open with spiderweb-like fissures.
Facing the powerful attack from Nappa, Piccolo watched calmly, not taking it to heart at all.
Clenching his fist, the figure suddenly became blurry.
Nappa's attack suddenly missed, and he stood still, looking around in confusion.
"Huh, where did everyone go?!"
"Nappa, watch out behind you!" Vegeta's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted urgently.
"What?!"
Before Nappa could react, Piccolo's figure had already appeared behind him, and a brutal attack came crashing down.
A loud bang.
Nappa let out a bloodcurdling scream, spurting a thick stream of blood from his mouth. He was thrown back as if struck by a speeding train, traveling a kilometer before being buried under rubble, lying on the ground in a pathetic state.
"How could this be? I'm no match for him..."
Nappa felt incredulous, as all the bones in his body were shattered, and he was unable to move at all.
"Nappa!!"
Another Saiyan, Kagis, paused for a moment, then let out a furious roar.
"Damn it, I knew these people were weird; they were hiding their strength!" Vegeta's face suddenly turned ashen. He shouted at the Saiyan beside him, "Kagis, you go keep an eye on Nappa. I'll deal with these guys."
"Oh, okay," Kagis replied, and quickly ran towards Nappa.
With a livid face, Vegeta decisively began to unleash his energy, instantly creating a howling wind, a scorching heatwave, and a suffocating atmosphere in the air.
Vegeta at his peak possessed a power level of 200,000, making him an undisputed overlord-level powerhouse. Even the captain of the Ginyu Force only had a power level of 120,000. With the release of this power, an overwhelming pressure, like a long-accumulated storm, poured down, instantly enveloping the entire battlefield in an unsettling energy.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The Scouter beside his ear burned out instantly, and a pungent smell filled his nostrils. Vegeta stared at Piccolo expressionlessly, his dark eyes flashing with a cold light.
"You're the first person who has made me use all my power." Vegeta slowly stepped forward, full of vigor.
"200,000 combat power, so this is what you rely on! You're already quite a figure in the universe." Piccolo looked on in surprise and nodded.
"Too bad, this is Earth, not a place for you to act recklessly."
Immediately, he licked his lips, his expression suddenly hardening, and an overwhelming aura swept over him like a tsunami. Faced with Piccolo's overwhelming aura, Vegeta's meager energy instantly lost its advantage.
"What do you mean? Uh... how is this possible? His power!"
Suddenly sensing the energy emanating from Piccolo, Vegeta's face paled in horror, his eyes narrowed to slits, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
Vegeta's expression was ferocious, his teeth clenched, and he roared in disbelief, "Impossible! How could a mere Namekian possess more power than me?"
"Hmph, this is only a fraction of my power, but I don't need to use my full strength to deal with you!"
After saying that, Piccolo's figure vanished in a flash, his afterimage flickering as he reappeared beside Vegeta. Amidst a flurry of dust and stones, Piccolo unleashed a powerful punch at Vegeta.
"Oh no, that's fast!"
Vegeta was terrified and reacted quickly, placing his hands in front of his chest to block Piccolo's attack.
Boom!!
A dull thud, a steel-like fist slammed into him.
After fighting Piccolo, Vegeta's expression changed. Touching his sore and numb arm, a storm raged in his heart.
"The Namekian are so strong? I've never heard of them before." Vegeta's voice was a little hoarse, and his frosty face was filled with disbelief. He had been working under Frieza for many years, and this was the strongest opponent he had ever encountered. Even Paragus, who had taught him a lesson back then, wasn't this powerful.
Piccolo was quite disappointed after defeating Vegeta with a single blow.
"Is this all the strength you have? It seems you're not much stronger than that big guy from before. You dare come to Earth with such little power? You really don't know the meaning of death."
"Who exactly are you? You shouldn't have been unknown before," Vegeta said, his face ashen.
"My name is Piccolo, a Namekian living on Earth."
"Piccolo ..." Vegeta muttered to himself, he had never heard of this name before.
"Damn it! I am the prince of the Saiyan, how could I possibly lose to a nobody like you?" Vegeta roared in resentment, and suddenly shouted, his aura bursting out with a "boom". The energy of 200,000 battle power turned into a real storm, the ground rumbled and collapsed into a wide crater.
Shasha~
Gusts of wind blew in all directions.
Dust rose up along with scorching heat.
Piccolo frowned, blocking the swirling sand, and took a step forward, instantly appearing beside Vegeta.
"Saiyan Prince... I've never heard of him before."
"Your power is not worthy of being called Saiyan prince."
Piccolo's words were like a knife plunged into Vegeta's heart, igniting his fury. His proud nature drove him to want nothing more than to kill Piccolo, but Piccolo's dominance left him no room to resist. His black pupils narrowed sharply, and Vegeta clenched his fists, unleashing a furious attack.
Boom!
The two fists collided.
Piccolo's punch was more powerful than Vegeta's. Vegeta screamed in agony, spitting out a mouthful of blood as his body was sent flying more than ten meters.
"Vegeta!"
Seeing Vegeta injured and thrown out, Kagis cried out, wanting to rush over to help Vegeta. However, faced with Krillin and the others eyeing him menacingly, Kagis swallowed hard, realizing he was powerless to do anything.
"What's going on with this Earth? Why are there so many powerful experts here?" Kagis thought bleakly, somewhat experiencing the same feelings Raditz had back then.
