There was a man who was also a Saiyan, and he hadn't died in the great catastrophe on Planet Vegeta. He commanded a group of evil warriors, forming a legion that was said to be "feared even by Frieza."
They strengthened themselves by consuming "fruit that only gods could enjoy," roamed the universe without restraint, destroyed many planets, and became terrifying villains.
Raditz remembered the name of this legion's leader: Turles.
He looked remarkably similar to Kakarot, but their personalities were worlds apart. Only he could possibly know how to create a moon. The source of Raditz's long-standing unease was him!
"I can't believe my ominous premonition came true. I wonder what this guy's Battle Power is now, if he's planted the Sacred Tree seeds, and why the timing of his appearance here is so coincidental..." Raditz muttered a string of questions to himself.
Just then, a group of people slowly rose from the ground into mid-air, accompanied by the rapid and vigorous growth of a giant tree. Its swiftly emerging roots tore through the ground, splitting into several robust branches. As expected, they had planted the seeds of the Sacred Fruit, and the Sacred Tree grew at an unimaginable speed, soon standing tall against the sky. It was as if countless carnivorous beasts were devouring Earth, this plump piece of meat, whole, enjoying an unparalleled gluttonous feast.
Except for Raditz, who was mentally prepared, everyone else was stunned.
Among the people before them, the leader looked exactly like Goku and was dressed as a Saiyan! Judging by his appearance and that iconic tail, he was unmistakably a Saiyan!
"He looks... like me?!" Goku was the most surprised, his eyes widening almost to the point of popping out of their sockets.
"Heh heh heh, you're surprised, aren't you? My name is Turles, and I am also a Saiyan. These are my subordinates. I actually didn't expect to encounter a Saiyan ship while destroying planets, and after analysis, I discovered it was Prince Vegeta and Nappa. I thought you all had died in the Planet Vegeta explosion, but I didn't expect you to cling to life." Turles explained leisurely, "So, I followed your flight path, tracked you all the way to Earth, and unexpectedly discovered Raditz and Kakarot. What a pleasant surprise."
Vegeta snorted dismissively, "You're the one clinging to life."
"To you, Prince, we lower-class warriors who are used and discarded are naturally trash. But that was before; it's different now."
"Hmph, every last one of them..."
Vegeta gritted his teeth, maintaining his usual aloof expression, but inwardly, his emotions were turbulent. Another low-class warrior had appeared, and this one's Battle Power was also very high. Was Heaven playing a trick on him? When did low-class warriors start evolving in packs? And he had to encounter all of them? Thinking this, the muscles on his jaw involuntarily bulged, and a deep sense of helplessness washed over him.
Raditz recalled what King Kai had said about the reason for the Saiyans' late arrival: they had been diverted from their course by the planetary explosion. It was the Turles' Crusher Corps' doing at that time... He hadn't expected all these things to happen at once.
"Your Battle Power has greatly decreased. Can you still challenge me?" Turles showed a cruel expression. "Amond! Show them what you've got!"
"Yes, Lord Turles."
A huge, burly man stepped forward with a smile, flexing his muscles confidently.
At the same time, Piccolo brought the others to Goku's side. Everyone was assembled.
The arrogant Amond swaggered and waved at Raditz and the others, his long braid whipping behind him, giving off a "I'm going to take on ten guys" vibe.
He was originally a heinous criminal, inherently cruel, and after following Turles, he took pleasure in destruction. Like Turles, he had enhanced his strength by consuming Sacred Fruit, and now he possessed an unexplainable confidence.
"Who is this guy?"
"Huh? That person looks exactly like Goku!"
"Was it them who ambushed us earlier? Damn it, we were too focused on the fight with the Saiyans to notice!" Piccolo still resented the loss of his leg. Looking at the arrogant Amond, veins bulged on his forehead.
Piccolo charged forward first, facing Amond directly.
"Are you the first one here to die? Hehehe, fool."
"You won't be laughing soon."
Piccolo shot him a disdainful glance and moved at high speed, appearing behind Amond and placing his palm directly on his back. Amond was caught completely off guard by this incredible speed, losing his composure. Ki energy suddenly erupted from Piccolo's palm, sending Amond flying back. He then swiftly followed up with a barrage of punches.
Countless fist shadows brutally struck Amond's sturdy body, leaving him bruised and battered, unable to fight back, only able to let out screams of pain. Piccolo, not yet satisfied, moved to every blind spot, venting his rage from his severed limb.
Amond was truly dazed this time, spitting out blood several times, his mind foggy and sluggish. No matter how hard he tried to exert himself, he only felt weakness.
Raditz was speechless inwardly. Turles could act cool like that, but Amond trying to act cool was suicidal. Piccolo's strength was no joke.
Turles also showed a slight surprise, "This guy actually suppressed Amond!" He had expected Amond to be enough to deal with most of them, but he was brutally beaten as soon as he made his move. Suddenly, Turles revealed a sinister smile, pointed a finger at Piccolo.
"Whoosh!"
A beam of light shot from his finger like a rapier, piercing Piccolo's shoulder. Purple blood spurted out! Piccolo froze, not expecting someone to interfere during their duel! Seizing this opportunity, Amond unleashed his full power, spinning at high speed and engulfing Piccolo in the attack he generated.
"Bastard! A sneak attack!"
"This is a battle for survival. It's the Namekian's own fault for being too careless," Vegeta snorted.
Raditz looked at Turles, feeling the immense Ki, and was greatly alarmed. He knew how quickly the Sacred Tree grew and that Turles had to be defeated as soon as possible. "Goku, let's go together and take down Turles!"
"I only intended to teach you a lesson, but since you're being uncooperative, don't blame me. If you have the guts, come and try!"
"Then let's try!"
"Turles' Crusher Corps, attack!"
With that, he charged forward himself, instantly reaching Goku. In his eyes, Raditz and Vegeta were already at their limit; only Goku posed a threat.
Although Piccolo was strong, as a Saiyan, he didn't think much of other races. Turles planned to eliminate Goku first before dealing with Piccolo. Moreover, Amond's spinning attack was effectively pinning Piccolo down, and his other subordinates were individually engaging the others, preventing them from assisting each other. He didn't need to worry about them.
Turles, confident of victory, gathered his strength and threw a punch at Goku!
The screen on the modified Scouter that fell into the ruins still flickered with numbers, and after a few flashes, it stopped at a terrifying figure: 35,000!
Turles' Battle Power is a bit ambiguous, so I'll customize it here.
