Without exchanging pleasantries, Karot and Cel immediately started fighting.
"Bang, bang."
The sound of their clash echoed throughout the arena.
Piccolo, Trunks, Krillin, and the others, who were watching the battle, kept their eyes darting around, searching for Karot and Cell.
After Karot and Cell fought for dozens of rounds, Cell was about to throw a heavy punch at Karot's face. Karot quickly put his arms together to block, but Cell's strength still sent Karot flying.
"Boom."
Karot's body was blasted directly into the mountainside.
"Hahaha."
Karot emerged from the mountainside, laughing loudly. After so long, Karot finally tasted the bitterness of being crushed.
"You're much stronger than Vegeta from before. You deserve to have my name remembered."
Syl landed in front of Karot and said, as if it were a great honor to have his name remembered.
What Karot didn't expect was that Cell in his perfect form would be so arrogant, and indeed, without Super Saiyan 2, Cell was invincible. It should be said that Cell already had one foot in Super Saiyan 2, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to transform into Super Saiyan 2 after just one self-destruction.
"Karot."
"I'll remember you. I hope your skills will improve in the upcoming World Martial Arts Tournament."
After saying that, Xilu flew away without even glancing at the people he left behind. After all, in Xilu's eyes, none of them posed a threat to him, and besides, Xilu's target had always been Son Goku.
"I've been looked down upon!"
Karot looked at Cel's figure and spoke slowly. Ever since Karot stood at the pinnacle of the Ninja World, he had always been the one saying these things to others. He never thought he would be the one being lectured.
"Karot, are you alright?"
Krillin flew over and asked, "Didn't they all see Karot get hit by Cel?"
"Thankfully, you're not injured."
Karot anticipated Siru's punch and prepared accordingly. If Karot had been able to unleash his full power, the outcome would have been uncertain.
"But you, Krillin, aren't you very sad?"
At this point, Karot started joking with Krillin, after all, Android 18 had been swallowed by Cell right in front of Krillin.
Seeing the mischievous grin on Karot's face, Krillin was momentarily stunned. Goku had never had such an effect before! After regaining his senses, he realized that the person in front of him was Karot, not Son Goku.
"It's just a pity that she was so innocent, yet she lost her life in the prime of her life."
Krillin had lived with Master Roshi since he was a child, and he had learned all of Master Roshi's knowledge, so he naturally understood Karot's implied meaning.
"Hello."
Trunks approached Karot and greeted him. He knew the person in front of him wasn't Son Goku, but he was simply curious about Karot's identity.
"Hello Trunks."
How do you know my name?
Trunks clearly didn't introduce himself to Karot.
"Of course I have my own channels. Haven't you already discovered that this timeline isn't the past of your timeline?"
Trunks nodded and didn't ask any further questions; after all, everyone has their own secrets.
"Isn't this our Saiyan Prince? Why does he look like a wilted eggplant?"
Karot wouldn't miss an opportunity to mock Vegeta. If Vegeta hadn't been so arrogant, he could have easily dealt with Cell, who hadn't even swallowed Android 18. The result was that Vegeta, this fool, thought he could become Super Saiyan and look down on everyone else. He ended up getting thoroughly humiliated. If Cell weren't too lazy to kill, everyone here would have paid the price for Vegeta's arrogance.
"Snort."
Vegeta could only snort coldly. After all, what Karot said was true. Vegeta dared to do things, but he wouldn't change. It wasn't that this was bad, but Vegeta didn't have the ability to cover for himself and needed others to clean up his messes.
Piccolo and Krillin also disliked Vegeta. If they weren't outmatched in strength, they would have beaten him to Vegeta. Trunks also had his grievances, but what could he do? Vegeta was his father.
What are your plans now?
"Karot asked."
"Let's go back to the Kami's Lookout first!"
As the most brilliant Piccolo spoke up, and everyone else tacitly accepted the result.
"Can I go there too?"
Karot also wanted to borrow the Hyperbolic Time Chamber there. Karot needed to get back what he'd lost today. Otherwise, he wouldn't even respect himself.
"OK."
Piccolo replied. After all, half of Piccolo's body was that of the former Kami, so of course he had the right to do so.
"Put your hands on my shoulders."
Karot addressed the crowd.
Everyone did as Karot said.
"Let's go."
As soon as Karot finished speaking, they appeared at the Kami's Lookout.
"You're back."
When Tenten and Mr. Popo saw Piccolo and the others return, Gohan ran over and said that they already knew what had happened in the lower world. Now they could only place their hopes Son Goku Tenten and Mr. Popo. Vegeta was still unreliable!
"Hi, it's Tenten again."
"Hello, Mr. Popo."
Karot greeted them one by one.
"Hello, welcome to the Kami's Lookout."
Mr. Popo is a polite person, Karot has never seen anyone so dark-skinned before. Maybe it's because there's no nighttime sun exposure at the Kami's Lookout!
Hello, Karot.
As soon as Tenten finished speaking, Karot's stomach growled.
"Is there anything to eat?"
Karot didn't know the meaning of politeness; being hungry was no small matter.
"Plz follow me."
Karot went straight with Mr. Popo.
Piccolo watched Karot's figure until he disappeared.
"Mr. Piccolo, is there something wrong with him?"
Trunks kept watching Piccolo as he looked at Karot's retreating figure and asked...
"When I watched Karot and Sir fight earlier, it seemed like Karot wasn't using his full strength."
Piccolo shared his thoughts.
"Are you seeing things? If Karot really has the strength, why is he being beaten so badly by Cel that he can only defend himself?"
"That's something I've never understood."
He definitely didn't use his full strength.
Vegeta, who was standing to the side with his arms crossed, spoke up.
The four looked at Vegeta, wanting him to explain his reasoning.
"Do you remember the red and black power within Karot when you first met him?"
Upon hearing Vegeta's words, Piccolo and Tenten suddenly remembered that it was with that power that Karot had forced Vegeta to retreat.
