"Humph, power levels of 960! 981! 1,220! 1,083!" Nappa immediately read the power levels of Sun Wukong and the others through his Scouter. "A bunch of idiots! With power levels this low, you think you can take us on? And you, Kakarot—you're a disgrace to the Saiyans. Your power level is the lowest in this group!"
Sun Wukong simply smiled faintly, making no attempt to argue.
"Nappa, take off your Scouter!" Vegeta said, removing his own Scouter.
"Why?" Nappa asked, puzzled.
"These guys' power levels can change during a fight. The numbers on that thing can't be trusted." Vegeta tossed his Scouter onto the ground.
"You're right! That loser Raditz believed the numbers on his Scouter, let his guard down, and got beaten!" Nappa chuckled.
"Loser... Raditz..." Piccolo was stunned.
"Raditz was a Saiyan that you and Goku barely managed to defeat..." Krillin said, at a loss for words.
"Aren't there three more helpers? How much longer do we have to wait?" Nappa asked with interest.
"They'll be here any moment!" Sun Wukong replied.
"Nappa, there are six Saibaman seeds left, right?" Vegeta asked with a smile. "There are seven of them in total. Kakarot, you take care of one. The Saibamen can each fight one of the remaining six."
"Heh heh heh! Vegeta, I didn't know you liked playing games like this!" Nappa grinned, pulling a small bottle from his pocket. He jabbed a finger into the ground six times, making six holes.
Then Nappa scattered the six seeds into the holes and poured on some nutrient solution.
It took only a few seconds.
Six Saibamen, each shaped like a giant turnip, burst out of the ground, cackling viciously.
"Ugh, what disgusting things!" Krillin pursed his lips.
"Are these Saibamen?" Sun Wukong had never seen anything like them before.
"Are your other three companions still not here?" Nappa chuckled.
Just then, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, and Yamcha descended from the sky, landing beside Sun Wukong and the others.
"Goku, you got here early!" Yamcha said excitedly.
"Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu—it's been so long." Sun Wukong sighed with emotion.
After all, in the Dragon Ball GT Timeline, Sun Wukong really hadn't seen the three of them in a long time.
Especially Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu...
It seemed he had barely seen them since Majin Buu.
"I've missed you all so much!" Sun Wukong said with a heartfelt sigh.
"Yeah! The last time we parted was at the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament, wasn't it?" Yamcha said with a smile.
"That's right," Tien Shinhan nodded.
"Mm." Chiaotzu nodded slightly.
"Time flies. It's already been six years..." Yamcha said wistfully. "Goku's kid has grown so big."
"Hahaha, yeah!" Sun Wukong laughed. "I really miss the days when we fought side by side."
"Are those the Saiyans?" Tien Shinhan turned to look at Vegeta, Nappa, and the six Saibamen.
"The other six are helpers they brought along," Krillin said with a grin. "Haha, with Goku here, I feel a lot safer."
"Yeah..." Yamcha smiled.
"You three arrived a little late, so I'll explain the rules of the game. I have six Saibamen here. You six—excluding Kakarot—can each fight one of them. How does that sound?" Vegeta asked with keen interest. "Let's play a game!"
"What game? You bastards!" Piccolo shouted angrily. "Quit beating around the bush and fight for real!"
"Haha, Vegeta, I didn't know you had this side to you!" Sun Wukong suddenly laughed.
Vegeta: "..."
What did he mean by that? What was this "side" he supposedly had?
"Goku, what do you think? Should we play their game?" Krillin hurriedly asked Sun Wukong.
"Sure, let's play along. It'll give me a chance to see how much you've improved." Sun Wukong nodded, though his expression grew a little more serious.
If I remember right, Yamcha was the only one who got killed by those strange creatures during this game, wasn't he?
As long as I keep an eye on Yamcha, there shouldn't be any major problems.
"In that case, I'll go first!" Tien Shinhan stepped forward. "I'll show you the results of my training."
"Hahaha, if you knew how powerful Saibamen were, you'd wet yourself!" Nappa laughed loudly.
"Start with this one! Give him a good fight!" Vegeta ordered the Saibaman at the front.
"Come on, Tien!" Sun Wukong cheered him on.
"Go, Tien!" Chiaotzu added.
"Right!" Tien Shinhan strode toward the Saibaman.
Sun Wukong folded his arms and watched from the sidelines.
The main reason Sun Wukong hadn't immediately defeated Vegeta and Nappa was that he really missed the companions he'd had during this period.
In the future, in the GT Timeline, Sun Wukong would see less and less of them.
Apart from Vegeta and Piccolo, he could hardly ever meet the others.
Even Krillin was someone Sun Wukong rarely saw in his daily life.
And after the events involving Baby, Piccolo had sacrificed his life.
At that moment, Tien Shinhan and the Saibaman faced off.
The battle began in an instant.
"Ha!" the Saibaman roared, lunging toward Tien Shinhan.
Tien Shinhan swung his hand forward and struck the Saibaman with his palm.
The Saibaman flew backward.
Tien Shinhan chased after him, intending to finish him off.
The moment the Saibaman hit the ground, his head suddenly split open, spraying a strange liquid that looked like brain matter.
Tien Shinhan instinctively dodged.
The slime splattered onto the ground, corroding a hole in it.
Krillin and Chiaotzu, standing nearby, turned deathly pale with fright.
"That's amazing. What did he just spray?" Sun Wukong said, sounding a little impressed.
"Goku... don't you think the stuff coming out of that guy's head is strange?" Krillin wiped away his sweat.
"What's strange about it?" Sun Wukong asked, bewildered.
"It kind of looks like..." Krillin trailed off, unsure how to say it.
"I think it looks like that too," Yamcha said thoughtfully, nodding.
"What are you guys talking about?" Sun Wukong asked, completely confused.
"Hyah!"
Tien Shinhan charged forward and landed a heavy elbow strike squarely on the Saibaman's head.
The Saibaman's body shuddered violently, as if it were about to split apart, before he toppled to the ground.
"What happened?" Nappa asked, a little shocked.
"Impressive, Tien! That's just like you!" Sun Wukong gave Tien Shinhan a thumbs-up.
