This is roughly what Tarble looks like.
Dragon Ball Super.
January 23, Age 776.
A remote planet.
"Tarble, are you really unwilling to marry my daughter, Guli?"
"Uncle Guping, we... really aren't right for each other!"
"Get lost!"
"The farther away, the better!"
"Don't ever show your face in front of my daughter again."
"Sure thing. Uncle, actually, I came here to say goodbye. I'm going to find my big brother!"
"All you have to do is spread the word that we fled to Earth, and you'll be safe!"
"Get lost!"
"I'll handle my own business. You don't need to tell me what to do..."
Five minutes later, Tarble and his men boarded a spherical spaceship and left the planet for Earth.
The Tarble of today was no longer the Tarble of old.
His body was the same, but his soul belonged to someone else.
He had been training on this planet for a year since being reborn.
A year of hard training had raised his battle power to 30,000.
Of course.
He had his cheat to thank for such a tremendous increase.
Unlike the cheats other novel protagonists had, which let them dominate everything in sight, his boosted the effectiveness of his training.
What's more, it could only be activated by binding living people with Saiyan blood.
Each person he bound increased his training effectiveness by onefold.
Every time his strength broke through to a new dimension, he gained another binding slot.
At present, his battle power was 30,000, putting him in the third dimension: planet-busting level.
Including his initial slot, he had four binding slots in total.
He had bound one person so far, doubling his training effectiveness.
That person was Rix, the mid-level warrior King Vegeta had assigned to protect Tarble's original self.
Rix's battle power had originally been only 2,500. After training with Tarble, he had reached 15,000.
As it happened, there had been another member of their squad named Tomato.
But he had died saving Tarble's original self.
The original Tarble had also been gravely wounded, and the current Tarble had taken advantage of the opportunity to take over his body, becoming a brand-new Tarble.
That was how, just a few minutes ago, he had ended up refusing to marry Guli.
You've got to be kidding!
He might be a 41-year-old middle-aged man now, but he still wasn't about to marry someone from an alien humanoid race, the way Tarble's original self had.
Even if they looked a lot like Zeno's people and might even be related to Zeno, they just weren't his type.
He was leaving because he had found out where Earth was and what the current date was there.
Based on his calculations, he wouldn't reach his destination until May 8, Age 778, by Earth's calendar.
If he remembered correctly, Beerus was due to make his appearance around that time.
Whether Beerus showed up wasn't important. What mattered was that he needed to bind people with Saiyan blood to increase his training speed.
Originally, he had planned to find New Namek first and borrow the Namekian Dragon Balls.
But he couldn't get any information about it, so he had no choice but to head to Earth first.
Besides, whether the Namekians would do him the favor of lending him the Dragon Balls was another question entirely.
There was one more thing. After what Frieza had done back then, he couldn't believe the combat-type Namekians hadn't trained hard.
Even the least talented among them had to be stronger than Nail had been back then.
With Tarble's current battle power of 30,000, he might go all that way only to come back empty-handed.
After weighing the pros and cons, it was only natural to head to Earth first and increase his training speed.
After all, strength was what mattered most.
At that moment.
Through the specially made transparent window of the spherical spaceship, Tarble admired the stars of all sizes twinkling outside, anticipation glimmering in his eyes.
The next second.
Rix's voice came through the Scouter beside his ear.
"Your Highness Tarble, are we really going to find His Highness Vegeta on Earth?"
"Don't worry. We'll find him for sure. He might be shocked when he sees us!
"Go into hibernation mode. Once we reach Earth, we'll know whether he's there."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After the communication ended, Tarble looked once more at the star-speckled void. Then he switched off his Scouter and activated the spaceship's hibernation mode.
Aside from his height, he was quite satisfied with his current identity.
Still, he hadn't expected that Tarble would originally have had two Saiyan bodyguards.
He hadn't thought that King Vegeta would assign two personal guards to protect Tarble when he exiled him back then.
Whatever King Vegeta was like as a person, Tarble felt a tiny bit of gratitude toward him for providing Rix as a target to bind.
Otherwise, with no high-gravity environment to train in and no way to heal his injuries quickly, there was no chance his battle power could have reached 30,000.
Meanwhile.
Elsewhere.
Frieza's remnants had also learned through their Scouters that Tarble and Rix were heading to Earth.
"They killed my men and think they can get away?"
"Not a chance!"
"Kado, let's hurry and catch up!"
The speaker was a strange blue creature with a single horn on his head. He was one of Frieza's remnants, named Abo.
Kado, whom he had addressed, was his brother.
However, Kado's skin was red, and he had two horns on his head.
"Good. If there are any other Saiyans on Earth, we can wipe them all out at once!" Kado said with a sinister grin.
But the next second, he suddenly felt that the name "Vegeta" sounded familiar.
He couldn't remember who it belonged to, though, so he asked,
"Hey, Abo, doesn't the name 'Vegeta' sound familiar to you?"
A cold smile appeared on Abo's face. "Who else could it be?"
"He's the shortest of the three Saiyans who used to work for Frieza."
"And he was always scowling, as if everyone owed him a fortune."
"If he's really on Earth, we won't have to waste any more time looking for him!"
Kado suddenly understood. "Oh—you're right. Now I remember. It was him!"
"I remember Cui couldn't stand him and was always giving him a hard time."
"And Vegeta was such a coward that he never dared to say a word!"
"Come to think of it, Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta, yet Vegeta still worked for him!"
"Tsk, what a poor guy!"
Abo sneered. "Who cares if he's pitiful? If we run into him on Earth, we'll wipe out all those Saiyans while we're at it!"
"So what if they beat Frieza?"
"Once the two of us fuse, our battle power will be far greater than Frieza's."
"We'll see whether that so-called Super Saiyan is really all that strong!"
Hearing this, Kado gave a cold snort and agreed. "Hmph, exactly!"
"120 million in battle power is nothing special these days!"
"Come on, let's catch up!"
"Better not let them get away again!"
"Let's go, let's go!"
May 8, Age 778.
Earth.
West City.
The sky was clear and cloudless.
In Bulma's luxurious estate, Vegeta was sweating freely in the Gravity Chamber.
At that moment.
The display on the gravity device showed a huge "500G."
"Ninety-nine thousand... nine hundred... ninety-eight..."
"Ninety-nine thousand... nine hundred... ninety-nine..."
"One... hundred... thousand!!"
When the count reached one hundred thousand, his voice abruptly stopped.
