The Saiyan Reform Plan

Dаrles had already come up with a plan to reform the Saiyans, but he'd never had the chance to bring it up. Now that they had a new planet, their next step was to search the universe for Saiyans who had been exiled in the past. With their current strength, they could easily bring those Saiyans into line.

"Dаrles, what else are you thinking? Go ahead and say it all at once!" Paragus seemed to have picked up on something in Dаrles's words and asked him outright.

"Uh! What am I thinking? Is it really that obvious?"

Paragus had seen through his intentions, and Dаrles felt a little awkward. He scratched his head self-consciously.

Paragus rolled his eyes at him, looking disdainful.

Dаrles didn't mind Paragus's attitude and went straight on to explain his plan to reform the Saiyans.

"First, our next move should be to build ties with major galactic powers like the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance and the Galactic Patrol. Only by relying on the networks of these large organizations can we quickly find the surviving Saiyans scattered across the universe."

After he finished, Dаrles looked at Paragus.

Paragus nodded, agreeing with what Dаrles had said.

There were only four of them right now. Even if they counted Carl and the others, they would need outside help to search for surviving Saiyans. The Cosmic Mercenary Alliance and the Galactic Patrol were both good candidates for cooperation.

"But why would the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance and the Galactic Patrol go out of their way to help us?" Raditz had raised the key issue.

Dаrles clapped his hands and continued, "Exactly! The Cosmic Mercenary Alliance and the Galactic Patrol won't help us Saiyans out of the goodness of their hearts, not without conditions. Besides, Saiyans have always had a bad reputation, so we need to show them our value."

"Value? What value?"

Raditz still didn't quite understand. Paragus, however, had already formed an idea after hearing Dаrles out. Seeing that Raditz still hadn't caught on, he said impatiently,

"What other value could we offer? The value of muscle!"

"Uh? Muscle?" Raditz was even more confused.

Not only Dаrles, but now even Paragus was at a loss with Raditz. In the end, Paragus explained,

"We Saiyans don't have the advanced technology of those technological races. What we do have is a decent amount of fighting power. Dаrles has also developed the Gravity Chamber, which boosts our training, and there's the transformation we discovered earlier. All of that has greatly increased our strength."

"And even at the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance and Galactic Patrol Headquarters, I doubt they have many fighters with power levels above 100,000. That's why our presence is our greatest asset!"

At last, Raditz understood.

"Exactly. Paragus is right. That's also why I agreed to Bels's proposal. I also have the right to choose our missions, so we can turn down certain jobs and accept only things like escort missions. We'll reject missions like invading planets outright."

"But if we don't take those missions, the Saiyans' belligerent nature means they probably won't agree."

Paragus had pointed out the key problem.

Dаrles nodded, agreeing with him, and continued, "That's why we need to work with the Galactic Patrol, too. As far as I know, the Galactic Patrol once managed the galaxy's law and order on behalf of the Supreme Kai. Their main purpose is to fight crime and maintain peace across the galaxy. We can become auxiliary members of the Galactic Patrol and help them deal with enemies they can't handle."

"You mean someone like Jaco?"

"Uh, exactly! With missions like these, we can satisfy the Saiyans' appetite for fighting while also atoning for their past crimes and turning around our people's reputation. It's a win-win!"

"We might even be able to build ties with King Kai and the Supreme Kai. We could seek their guidance later, which would be a good thing, too!"

"That's why I call it the Saiyan Reform Plan!"

"What do you think, Paragus?"

Having finished laying out his plan, Dаrles looked to Paragus for his opinion.

After all, this was Dаrles's own idea, and he didn't know whether there might be some problems with it. It was best to let Paragus point out anything that needed changing. Involving Paragus would also keep him from getting the wrong idea. Dаrles didn't have the time to argue with him.

Paragus didn't answer right away. Instead, he fell into deep thought.

Paragus knew Dаrles was ambitious, but he hadn't expected him to be this ambitious. Dаrles didn't even seem to take Frieza, the Emperor of the Universe, seriously. He actually wanted to become a god, and judging by his expression, he already had a rough plan for how to do it. Paragus couldn't help feeling envious and impressed.

But if Dаrles truly aimed to become a god, then perhaps his attitude toward the Saiyan king really was just as he'd said. And if Dаrles really reached the level of a God of Destruction or Supreme Kai, that would be a huge benefit to Paragus as well.

Once he'd thought it through, Paragus suddenly felt he had no reason to oppose Dаrles. In fact, he should support him wholeheartedly. Perhaps Broly could become a god in the future, too. After all, Broly's talent far surpassed Dаrles's.

Seeing Paragus stay silent for so long, Dаrles assumed his plan wouldn't work in Universe 7. But he'd based it on the Saiyans of Universe 6, so there shouldn't be any problems. Then he noticed the somewhat lecherous grin on Paragus's face and understood.

Dаrles ignored Paragus, who had already drifted off into a daydream, and turned his attention to Broly and Raditz. But from their expressions, he knew he wouldn't get any useful suggestions from either of them, so he gave up.

"Raditz, your power level is already 5,500. After transforming, it'll reach 55,000. You can't maintain it for long, though, and that's far from enough. From now on, I'll supervise your training until your base power level exceeds 10,000. Understood?"

"Dаrles, I think I'm doing fine as I am. You said it yourself: after I transform, I'll have a power level of 55,000. That makes me a pretty strong fighter already. Do I really still need to train?"

When Raditz heard Dаrles planned to train him, his whole body tensed up. He immediately begged Dаrles to let him off.

"..." Dаrles hadn't expected Raditz to be so hopeless. He grew angry and snapped, "No way! From now on, you'll have to train under my guidance in the Gravity Chamber every day."

Seeing Raditz still reluctant, Dаrles pulled out his trump card.

"I might go to Earth soon to find Kakarot. If everything goes as planned, I'll train him. I bet you don't want to be beaten by your little brother, who's several years younger than you, do you?"

"Huh?"

Raditz had never imagined Dаrles could be so ruthless. In the end, he could only nod helplessly and agree.

Seeing Raditz give in, Dаrles smiled with satisfaction and thought, I want to see you transform into a Super Saiyan 1 someday. There's no way I'll let you slack off!

As for Broly, Dаrles couldn't think of how to arrange things for him just yet. In the end, he could only have him keep practicing how to control his ki, hoping it would help his mental state.

In the days that followed, Dаrles trained himself while also constantly putting Raditz through his paces. Paragus, meanwhile, began working on a detailed plan for bringing in the surviving Saiyans.

A month passed. The Mercenary Alliance's Hyperspace Spaceship arrived at Red Stone Planet as scheduled, and it was time for Dаrles to set out for the North Galaxy!
