"Fine, since Gaino has decided, let's bring this guy along with us! I think, besides you and me, it's unlikely anyone else could subdue this little one right now."
Gaino said, "Alright, then let's get to it. Let's head over to Broly!"
Gaino and Laiya flew toward Broly's location. Before long, they saw Broly walking toward his dwelling with a Dinosaur slung over his shoulder.
Gaino and Laiya appeared right in front of Broly, which gave him quite a start.
Seeing Gaino and Laiya, Broly asked, "Who are you?" and immediately began to power up. Seeing this, Gaino tapped into his Ancient Saiyan Bloodline, radiating a powerful pressure that descended directly upon Broly.
The violent aura Broly was emitting vanished into thin air the moment it touched Gaino's pressure.
Broly instantly felt a massive weight bearing down on him. He felt his own bloodline being suppressed firmly, much like a subject encountering an emperor; the pressure from the bloodline forced Broly to stop his outburst.
Seeing that Broly had calmed down, Gaino said to him, "Don't be nervous. We are just like you—we are Saiyans." With that, Gaino and Laiya flicked their tails.
Seeing the tails of Gaino and Laiya, Broly's heart eased slightly.
Gaino asked, "Broly, is it? Is there anyone else on this planet besides you?"
Broly replied, "The natives on this planet have already been wiped out by me. My father used to live here with me, but on the night of the full moon, I seemed to transform into a Great Ape. When I woke up, my father was gone."
It seemed that Broly, having lost consciousness during his Great Ape transformation, had killed his own father. But that was fine; Gaino had come specifically for Broly, and his father was of little use to him.
Normally, every full moon, all Saiyans would transform into Great Apes and wreak havoc, but that was limited to low-level warriors. Elite-level warriors like Laiya retained their clear consciousness even when transformed into a Great Ape.
Broly must have been unable to control the ki within him, causing him to lose his mind during the Great Ape transformation and destroy everything recklessly, eventually killing his father, Paragus, by accident.
"So that means you're all alone now?"
"That is correct," Broly said.
"Very well, come with us! We can not only make you much stronger, but we can also help you perfectly control the ki within your body. How about it? Think it over."
Upon hearing that he could perfectly master the ki within him, Broly was already tempted. It was precisely because he couldn't control the massive ki inside him that he turned into a killing machine every time he fought, needing constant slaughter to vent his pent-up rage. Now that there was finally a chance to gain perfect control over his ki, he was naturally incredibly moved.
"You can help me control the ki within me?" Broly asked.
"Of course, but the condition is that you must stay by our side so we can teach you how to control your internal ki at any time."
"Fine, since you can help me control my ki, I will go with you."
"Good, you've made a wise choice," Gaino said.
"Then you have to wait for me a moment. I finally managed to take down this big guy; this is my lunch, and I'm very hungry. I'll go with you after I've eaten my fill."
Gaino looked at the giant creature on Broly's shoulder and said, "In that case, let us have a share of your meal! We haven't eaten either."
"Alright, let's eat together!"
Gaino walked up to Broly, lifted the giant creature off his shoulder with one hand, and said, "Let's go! This will be faster."
Watching Gaino carry such a massive beast with one hand, Broly muttered to himself, "So strong... such a huge guy is like a toy in his hands, handled with such ease."
Gaino walked straight ahead carrying the Dinosaur. Laiya came up to Broly and said, "Little brother, don't be surprised. Nothing is strange when it happens to him. Your speed at accepting new things is a bit slow, isn't it?"
"Once you stay with us, you'll know what kind of monster he is. That violent ki inside you? To him, it's just a bit more ki than usual. Though, compared to others of your level, your ki exceeds the vast majority of Saiyans."
After saying this, Laiya also walked forward.
When they arrived at Broly's dwelling, Gaino dropped the Dinosaur and said to Broly, "It seems you don't have a place to cook here."
"Laiya, go find some branches. We're having roasted meat."
Hearing that Gaino was going to roast meat, Laiya hurriedly said, "You got it! I'm on it."
Laiya vanished from the spot in the blink of an eye, leaving Broly stunned. Gaino explained, "No need to be curious, it's just a secret technique."
Within moments, Laiya appeared before Broly, carrying a large pile of dry branches.
"Brother Gaino, are these branches enough?"
Gaino looked at the firewood in Laiya's hands and said, "Enough. Now, set up the fire; I'll handle the roasting."
"Alright, I'll set the fire."
When it came to roasted meat, Laiya had vivid memories of the taste of Gaino's cooking. Even the God of Destruction Beerus and the Angel Whis had called his roasting technique peerless.
Hearing this new term, Broly asked blankly, "Roasted meat? What is roasted meat? Is it good?"
Laiya said, "Little brother Broly, Brother Gaino's roasting technique is absolutely top-tier! Even the God of Destruction and the Angel Whis in this universe can't stop praising his cooking."
"You're a lucky kid. Many Saiyans on Planet Saiyan haven't even tasted Brother Gaino's roasted meat! I didn't expect you to get such treatment the first time we met. I have to say, you're really lucky."
While Laiya and Broly were talking, Gaino had already placed the meat over the fire. Before long, the aroma of the meat drifted out, and the conversation between Broly and Laiya ceased.
They hurriedly came to Gaino's side, watching the roasted meat in his hands, their mouths watering uncontrollably.
Gaino looked at Laiya and Broly and said, "Stay back a bit, your drool is about to drip onto my meat. Don't worry, there's enough for everyone. You can both have some today."
Gaino's roasted meat was ready, and he handed it directly to Laiya and Broly. Both of them wore satisfied expressions as they ate.
Broly's prize slowly diminished under the consumption of the three big eaters. Finally, the three of them lay on the ground, rubbing their bulging bellies, looking up at the sky, feeling very content.
