Tree of Might Fruit

"Still, we should thank Kakarot. If it weren't for him, we'd never have found such a good planet!"

Turles's subordinate nodded.

"Beep, beep..."

Just then, the scouter over Turles's left eye suddenly began to beep.

The next moment, two figures appeared in midair.

They were Sun Wukong and Piccolo.

"Kakarot!"

Turles recognized Sun Wukong at a glance.

"Whoosh..."

"Thud..."

Sun Wukong brought Piccolo down in front of them.

"Who are you? What are you doing on Earth?"

Turles smiled.

"Kakarot, my name is Turles. I'm a Saiyan, just like you!"

"Saiyans!"

"That's right. Kakarot, tell me: why didn't you destroy Earth?"

"Destroy Earth?"

Piccolo looked at Sun Wukong, puzzled.

Turles smiled.

"You might not know this, but we Saiyans are sent to planets across the universe from the moment we're born. We spend years destroying each planet and forcing its inhabitants to surrender.

If a planet is valuable, we sell it for a high price. If it's worthless, we destroy it outright!

Kakarot, you were sent here because your battle power was too low!"

"I see!"

After finishing, Turles immediately pointed his scouter at Sun Wukong to check his current battle power.

"Beep, beep..."

The scouter's reading climbed rapidly, soon reaching 5,000. At last, it stopped at around 5,100.

"5... 5,100 battle power!"

Turles stared at his scouter in disbelief.

Under normal circumstances, a Low-Class Warrior had a battle power of 5,000 at most.

And that was only if they often encountered powerful opponents.

Like Sun Wukong's father, Bardock.

But that was extremely rare. Most Low-Class Warriors had a battle power below 5,000.

Sun Wukong had only been born with a battle power of two, making it even harder for him to grow stronger.

Could he have had some kind of opportunity, just like me?

Turles wondered to himself.

Then a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he turned to Sun Wukong.

"Kakarot, since we're both Saiyans, why don't you join us? I can make you second-in-command of my team!"

"Not interested!"

Sun Wukong shook his head.

"Is that so!"

Turles's expression suddenly turned cold.

Sun Wukong glanced at the Tree of Might behind him.

"Turles, what exactly are you doing on Earth?"

He already knew what Turles was after, but he pretended to ask in front of Piccolo.

Turles smiled.

"We came for the Tree of Might!"

"The Tree of Might!"

"That's right. The huge tree behind you. I went to great lengths to obtain it from the universe. The Tree of Might absorbs a planet's energy and bears Tree of Might fruit!

The better-protected a planet is, the more Tree of Might fruit it bears!"

"Tree of Might fruit?"

"That's right. Every time you eat a Tree of Might fruit, your battle power doubles! So, Kakarot, will you join us? Once the Tree of Might fruit ripens, I can give you a few!"

"No!"

Sun Wukong shook his head.

"Whoosh..."

"Thud..."

Just then, Son Gohan and Son Gomen flew down from the sky.

"Saiyans!"

When Turles saw the tails behind them, he was startled.

Then he looked at Sun Wukong.

"Are those two your sons, Kakarot?"

Sun Wukong nodded.

Turles immediately used his scouter to check their battle power.

"Beep, beep..."

The reading on the scouter climbed rapidly, soon surpassing Sun Wukong's battle power.

"10... 10,000!"

When Son Gohan's battle power reached 10,000, Turles broke out in a cold sweat.

A child only four or five years old had already surpassed 10,000 battle power.

Turles's subordinates were so frightened that they stumbled back several steps.

Their battle power only reached around 5,000 at most.

A battle power of 10,000 was twice theirs.

The scouter's reading kept climbing, soon reaching 15,000.

Boom!

The scouter Turles wore was an old model, and it could only measure up to 15,000. The moment Son Gohan's battle power exceeded that, it exploded.

"Are... are you all right, Lord Turles?"

One of the men asked with concern.

"I'm fine!"

Turles replied with a dark look.

He'd been confident he could take on Sun Wukong and Piccolo.

But Son Gohan's arrival had thrown his plans into disarray.

No, the Tree of Might fruit will ripen any moment. I can't let two brats who showed up out of nowhere ruin my plans!

Turles thought to himself.

Then he gathered a golden ball of light in his hand and tossed it into the air.

It was an Artificial Moon.

"Not good!"

Sun Wukong reacted swiftly, forming a ki blast and destroying the Artificial Moon.

Son Gohan and the others, whose bodies had begun to react, immediately came back to their senses.

"Damn it!"

Turles roared angrily and shouted to his men,

"Attack!"

"Yes, Lord Turles!"

At his command, Turles's subordinates charged at Sun Wukong.

Son Gohan and Son Gomen tensed, raising their hands into fighting stances as they charged at Turles's men.

"Whoosh..."

Bang! Bang! Bang!!

Son Gohan and Son Gomen moved with incredible speed. In no time, they had knocked down all of Turles's subordinates.

"Damn it! You're all useless!"

Turles roared and charged at Sun Wukong.

Son Gohan was stronger and would be harder to deal with, so he decided to take Sun Wukong hostage first, then use him to threaten the two boys.

Sun Wukong was startled for a moment, then punched Turles as he came at him and sent him flying.

Boom!!

Turles's body shot through the air like a beam and slammed into a mountain behind him.

"Whoosh..."

Before Turles could react, a golden beam shot toward him and pierced straight through his body.

"Ka... Kakarot!"

Turles stared at Sun Wukong in the distance, unable to believe it.

Until now, he'd never imagined he would die at Sun Wukong's hands.

A Low-Class Warrior who'd been born with a battle power of just two.

But no matter how unwilling he was, he finally closed his eyes.

When Piccolo saw Turles die, he immediately turned to look at the Tree of Might behind him.

The Tree of Might had begun to bear fruit.

Some of the fruit had even ripened.

"Sun Wukong, what should we do about this Tree of Might?"

"What should we do?"

"Yeah! Didn't Turles say the Tree of Might absorbs Earth's energy to produce Tree of Might fruit?"
