Vegeta, Do You Know How to Grow a Tail?

"Y-y-you..." Vegeta's lips trembled incessantly, his stuttering making it impossible for him to finish a sentence.

Kakarot is a Super Saiyan?

What kind of joke is that?

I am the most gifted Saiyan!

Shouldn't the one to become a Super Saiyan be me, Vegeta?

Why would it be this low-class warrior?

That's it!

I think I understand now!

The Dragon Balls!

It's the Dragon Balls!

Could this guy have wished to become a Super Saiyan through the Dragon Balls?

How else could it be possible?

I am the Prince of all Saiyans!

It must be that!

A year ago, he couldn't even beat Raditz.

And you're telling me he's a Super Saiyan now?

Countless thoughts raced through Vegeta's mind, ultimately leading him to conclude that Sun Wukong must have used the Dragon Balls to wish himself into a Super Saiyan.

It was no wonder Vegeta didn't believe it.

After all, Sun Wukong had essentially been killed by Raditz.

Raditz's combat power was barely any different from a Saibaman's.

If you had told me your combat power had risen to a level comparable to mine in less than a year, I might have even believed it.

But your combat power increase is just too absurd!

Also, is he just trying to scare me?

Is he intentionally bluffing?

Some Super Saiyan—what complete nonsense!

I, Vegeta, will not be intimidated by him!

"Hmph, you call this a Super Saiyan? Stop joking!" With a cold snort, Vegeta lunged forward and threw a fierce punch at Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong simply extended a single finger and effortlessly caught Vegeta's incoming fist.

"Snap!"

Vegeta's fist struck Sun Wukong's finger right on the mark.

And then, there was nothing more.

"Do you believe me now?" Sun Wukong grinned.

Vegeta: "..."

"D-d-d..." Vegeta was on the verge of tears.

How is he this strong?

Did he really just catch my full-force strike with a single finger?

Vegeta quickly leaped backward, putting a safe distance between himself and Sun Wukong.

"Damn it! Do you think I'll lose to you?" Vegeta seethed with resentment, looking up at the sky and searching everywhere for the moon.

"What are you looking for? The full moon?" Sun Wukong smiled. "I get it, you want to turn into a Great Ape to fight me!"

"You..." Vegeta felt a wave of endless sorrow. He scanned the sky, only to find the moon was gone. "So, did you destroy the moon just for that?"

"It wasn't me... actually, I'd really like to know how to grow my tail back, too." Sun Wukong scratched his head.

"Hmph, how would I know how to grow a tail?" Vegeta snorted, feeling his composure return, and gave a smug smile. "As a Saiyan, to not even have a tail—I truly feel sorry for you!"

"I really do want to grow my tail back as soon as possible, otherwise, there's no way to turn into that form." Sun Wukong rubbed his head and muttered to himself.

"Turn into what form?" Vegeta was stunned and couldn't help but ask.

"Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. It's better if you don't know." Sun Wukong grinned.

Vegeta felt a sharp sting in his heart.

What do you mean I wouldn't understand? How would I know if you don't tell me?

Why is this guy Kakarot so infuriating?

How hateful!

"However, you low-class warrior, do you think you can defeat me with this kind of bluffing?" Vegeta let out a cold snort, took a deep breath, curled his lips into a faint smile, and raised his right hand.

"Snap!"

As Vegeta's face twisted into a grimace, a glowing sphere materialized in his hand.

"Do you see what this is?" Vegeta's grin grew increasingly smug.

"Looks familiar," Sun Wukong said, rubbing his chin as he pondered silently.

"Hmph, did you think everything would be fine just because you destroyed the moon?" Vegeta shouted.

"Vegeta, believe me, I really didn't do it," Sun Wukong said, looking completely innocent.

"Hmph, stop pretending!" Vegeta scoffed. "Since you want to grow your tail back, I'll tell you the secret of why we transform when we see a full moon."

"That works too. Go ahead and tell me; it's been so long that I've almost forgotten everything," Sun Wukong nodded.

Vegeta: "..."

What is that supposed to mean?

Forget it!

In any case, I think this guy Kakarot is a bit of an idiot.

"You know that moonlight is just sunlight reflecting off the moon, right?" Vegeta snorted. "When sunlight hits the moon, it releases Blutz Waves. These waves reach 17 million zeno when the moon is full! When our eyes absorb 17 million zeno or more of these Blutz Waves, it triggers a reaction in our tails, and that's when the transformation begins!"

"Uh-huh," Sun Wukong nodded repeatedly, like a well-behaved student in class.

Vegeta: "..."

Vegeta almost didn't want to continue.

You're just pretending to be this serious, aren't you?

"Keep going, I'm listening," Sun Wukong urged when he noticed Vegeta had stopped talking.

Vegeta truly felt a sting in his heart.

Why do I find this Kakarot so infuriating?

"What are they talking about?" Krillin asked, looking puzzled.

"It seems to be about the Great Ape transformation," Piccolo said calmly, though cold sweat was sliding down his face.

"Great Ape transformation!" Krillin's expression shifted repeatedly.

"A Great Ape?" Yamcha also recalled the past and couldn't help but shiver.

"What are you talking about? What Great Ape?" Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu had never seen Sun Wukong transform into a Great Ape, so they couldn't imagine the terrifying pressure of that form.

"Goku can turn into a Great Ape... he did it when he was little, it was too terrifying," Krillin rubbed his hands, his mouth twitching violently.

"He can still turn into that?" Chiaotzu asked, stunned.

"Eh? Dad can turn into a Great Ape?" Gohan scratched his head.

Piccolo: "..."

Don't act so innocent!

It's as if you don't transform yourself!

Your Great Ape form is just as terrifying!

"But come to think of it... where is the moon?" Krillin looked up at the sky, feeling confused. "Why is the moon gone? No wonder the climate has been so strange lately!"

"Now that you mention it... it's true! The moon really is gone!" Yamcha placed a hand on his forehead, looking up at the sky and searching everywhere for the moon.

Piccolo didn't respond.

I'm certainly not going to admit that I was the one who destroyed the moon!

But this guy Sun Wukong's strength is increasing way too fast!

"Some planets in the universe have many moons, but regardless of size, they only emit over 17 million zeno of Blutz Waves when they are full," Vegeta continued his explanation, the light sphere in his hand radiating a golden glow as he sneered. "However, only a Saiyan can create an artificial mini-moon that exceeds 17 million zeno! All you have to do is mix the oxygen on this planet into this energy sphere!"

"So that's how it is," Sun Wukong nodded thoughtfully, then muttered, "You still haven't told me how to grow my tail back!"

Vegeta: "..."

"Forget it, if all else fails, I'll just have to ask the Old Supreme Kai," Sun Wukong scratched his head and said to himself.
