He Was the True King of the Saiyans

Although Turles had fantasized countless times about the day he would rule over Planet Vegeta, he never imagined it would come so soon.

He had only been searching the edge of the universe for planets where he could plant the Tree of Might. He never expected to stumble upon the long-lost Planet Vegeta.

When he first discovered that this planet was the missing Planet Vegeta, Turles had been somewhat alarmed.

The news that the Saiyans had betrayed King Frieza and grievously wounded him had already spread throughout the universe.

At first, Turles worried that he might encounter the strong warrior who had injured King Frieza. But after secretly investigating and asking around, he learned that the Saiyans had defeated King Frieza through trickery.

And the strongest person on the entire planet had a power level of less than thirty thousand. By then, Turles's power level had already reached 300,000!

And so Turles began his campaign.

Thanks to his overwhelming strength, he had not only succeeded in planting the Tree of Might but had also recruited many Saiyans to serve him.

Once a mere Low-Class Warrior, he had now ascended to the pinnacle of Saiyan society.

It felt absolutely wonderful!

"Go ahead, Nappa! But if you can, recruit a few more people for me. Without enough subjects, I won't deserve to call myself King of the Saiyans."

"As you command, Your Majesty!"

With Turles's permission, Nappa descended before King Vegeta and the others with a sneer.

"King Vegeta, this is the last chance I'm giving you. Surrender and submit to His Majesty Turles, or die!"

"You think you can make me?" King Vegeta scoffed.

"Of course! A man like you could never understand the greatness of His Majesty Turles!"

"Everyone! Linx may have led us to defeat Frieza, but he also forced us Saiyans to hide and flee, unable to set foot beyond our planet! A life cooped up like prisoners isn't the life for us Saiyans!"

Nappa bellowed at the Saiyans before him. "But things are different with His Majesty Turles. Follow him, and not only can we return to the thrilling life we once knew, but—more importantly—His Majesty Turles has the Tree of Might fruit! If you follow him, everyone will get a chance to enjoy its power!"

"Look! This is the power of the Tree of Might fruit! Hah!"

Nappa let out a roar and unleashed his aura. In an instant, a powerful pressure swept over every Saiyan present like a storm.

Their Scouters all began beeping in warning.

"Thirty thousand?" King Vegeta stared in disbelief at Nappa, who had once been his subordinate.

Over the past five years, Nappa's power level had risen considerably. But before he defected, it had only been a mere ten thousand. How had it tripled in just a few days?

Could the Tree of Might fruit really be that miraculous?

Even King Vegeta was wavering. The other Saiyans were even more affected.

Some looked afraid; others gazed at the fruit longingly. They were clearly tempted.

Sensing the fear around him, King Vegeta clenched his teeth and suddenly charged.

"Quit bluffing, Nappa! I'll show you who truly belongs to the Saiyan royal family!"

King Vegeta swung a punch, but Nappa caught it with ease.

Nappa sneered. "King Vegeta, do I have to remind you? You're no longer part of the Saiyan royal family!"

With that, he drove a fist brimming with savage power into King Vegeta's head.

Bang!

Blood sprayed through the air. King Vegeta cried out in pain as his body shot away like a blazing meteor, skimming along the horizon.

But Nappa caught up with the flying King Vegeta and kicked him down from midair.

Boom!

The ground cracked, and a deep crater formed beneath King Vegeta.

Nappa planted a foot on him and burst into uncontrollable laughter.

"Hahahaha! Saiyan royalty? King Vegeta, do you see? This is the power granted to me by the true King of the Saiyans!"

"Before him, you're nothing but an ant!"

"Damn it!" King Vegeta struggled to get up, but Nappa stomped him hard back into the ground, burying his face in the dirt.

"Hmph! Worthless fool!"

Nappa spat and swept his gaze over the other Saiyans.

Apart from Bardock and Paragus, all the other Saiyans shrank back in fear under Nappa's gaze.

"Well? Do you know now who the true King of the Saiyans is?"

Just as Nappa finished speaking, the air began to shudder in the distance.

Everyone looked up. The next moment, two figures appeared in midair.

"Who are they?"

The appearance of Lin Chen and Broly put Turles's side on alert.

Lin Chen didn't answer. He only smiled coolly, his hands clasped behind his back.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As countless eyes turned toward him, a chorus of sharp gasps suddenly rose from the crowd.

Turles looked around in puzzlement at the Saiyans, who seemed to have seen a ghost, and barked, "What's going on? Who is he?"

On the ground, Nappa had been radiating menace moments earlier, but now he took several fearful steps back, his body trembling despite himself.

No one answered Turles.

But on Bardock's side, Paragus suddenly dropped to his knees facing Lin Chen, clasped his hands, and called out, "He's the hero who led the Saiyans to defeat Frieza! The true King of our Saiyan race—His Majesty Linx!"

After Paragus, Bardock also dropped to his knees, overcome with emotion, and shouted, "We pay our respects to His Majesty Linx!"

"His Majesty Linx!"

Bardock's cry was followed by a second voice, then a third, then a fourth... Every Saiyan who hadn't joined Turles fell to their knees, shouting again and again.

As for the Saiyans who had recently joined Turles, they cowered just like Nappa.

Though Lin Chen hadn't appeared before them in five years, his authority still loomed over them.

Seeing this, Turles snorted and tapped his Scouter.

But the result left him puzzled. "Five thousand? Why is this guy's power level only five thousand? Even that little guy beside him has a power level of ten thousand!"

"Are these Saiyans idiots? Someone with a power level of five thousand, and they call him the true king?"

"You fool! Get down here!"

One of Turles's personal subordinates flew out and charged straight at Lin Chen, intent on knocking him to the ground.

Seeing this, Nappa immediately shouted from the ground, "Lord Cacao, watch out! That Linx has a power level of 100,000!"

"What?"

Cacao had only just heard Nappa's warning and hadn't even had time to react when Lin Chen suddenly swept a leg at him.

Bang!

With a dull thud, Cacao flew backward even faster than before and slammed headfirst into the trunk of the Tree of Might.

Smack!

He burst into a heap of bloody flesh!
