"Hmph, power levels of 960! 981! 1220! 1083!" Nappa immediately scanned the power levels of Sun Wukong and the others through his scouter. "A bunch of idiots! With such pathetic power levels, you still want to challenge us? And you, Kakarot, you truly are a disgrace to us Saiyans. You have the lowest power level in this entire group!"

Sun Wukong merely offered a faint smile, showing no intention of refuting him.

"Nappa, take off the scouter!" Vegeta said, removing his own.

"Why?" Nappa was a bit confused.

"The power levels of these guys can change during battle; the numbers on that thing are completely unreliable." Vegeta tossed the scouter onto the ground.

"You're right! That trash Raditz only got defeated because he trusted the numbers on the scouter and let his guard down!" Nappa chuckled.

"Trash... Raditz..." Piccolo was stunned.

"Raditz was the Saiyan that only you and Wukong managed to defeat with great difficulty, wasn't he..." Krillin said, caught between laughter and tears.

"Aren't there three more helpers coming? How much longer do we have to wait?" Nappa asked with interest.

"They'll be here any second!" Sun Wukong replied.

"Nappa, there are still six Saibaman seeds left, right?" Vegeta smiled at Nappa. "There are seven people on the other side. Kakarot, you deal with them, and for the remaining six, let the Saibamen take them on one by one."

"Hehehe! Vegeta, I didn't expect you to enjoy playing these kinds of games too!" Nappa grinned, pulled a small bottle from his pocket, and poked six holes into the ground with his finger.

Afterward, Nappa scattered the six seeds into the earth and dripped nutrient solution onto them.

Within mere seconds.

Six vegetable-like creatures with large heads burst out from the ground, each letting out a sinister cackle.

"What disgusting guys!" Krillin curled his lip.

"So these are Saibamen?" It was Sun Wukong's first time seeing such things.

"Haven't those three companions arrived yet?" Nappa chuckled.

As they were speaking, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, and Yamcha descended from the sky, landing beside Sun Wukong and the others.

"Wukong, you got here so early!" Yamcha said excitedly.

"Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, long time no see." Sun Wukong was filled with emotion.

After all, in the Dragon Ball GT Timeline, it had indeed been a long time since Sun Wukong had seen the three of them.

Especially Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu...

It seemed that after Majin Buu, it had become almost impossible to run into them.

"I've missed you all so much!" Sun Wukong sighed deeply.

"Yeah! The last time we parted ways was at the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament, wasn't it?" Yamcha said with a smile.

"That's right, exactly." Tien Shinhan nodded.

"Mm." Chiaotzu nodded slightly.

"Time flies, six years have passed in the blink of an eye..." Yamcha sighed with feeling. "Wukong's child has grown so big."

"Hahaha, yeah, that's true." Sun Wukong laughed. "I really miss the days when we fought side by side."

"Are they 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 smile. "Haha, with Wukong here, I feel much more at ease."

"Yeah..." Yamcha wore a smile.

"The three of you arrived quite late. Now, let me tell you the rules of the game: I have six Saibamen here. You six—excluding Kakarot—will each fight one of my Saibamen. How about it?" Vegeta asked with interest. "Let's all play a game!"

"What kind of game? You bastards!" Piccolo shouted angrily. "Stop beating around the bush and get serious!"

"Haha, Vegeta, I didn't expect you to have a side like this!" Sun Wukong suddenly found it amusing.

Vegeta: "..."

What did he mean by that? What did he mean, he had a side like that?

"Wukong, what do you think? Should we play their game?" Krillin hurriedly asked Sun Wukong.

"Fine, let's play along. It'll be a good chance for me to see the results of your training." Sun Wukong nodded, though his expression grew a bit more solemn.

I remember that in this game, Yamcha was the only one killed by these strange creatures, right?

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 voluntarily. "Let me show you the results of my training."

"Hahaha, if you knew how powerful the Saibamen were, you'd be scared out of your wits!" Nappa laughed loudly.

"Start with this one! Give it your all!" Vegeta ordered the lead Saibaman.

"Tien Shinhan, good luck!" Sun Wukong cheered for him.

"Good luck, Tien!" Chiaotzu added.

"Right!" Tien Shinhan stepped forward and walked toward the Saibaman.

Sun Wukong crossed his arms and watched the show from the sidelines.

The reason Sun Wukong didn't immediately defeat Vegeta and Nappa was mainly because he truly missed his companions from this era.

In the future GT Timeline, Sun Wukong met with them less and less frequently.

Aside from Vegeta and Piccolo, it was nearly impossible to encounter the other companions.

Even Krillin was someone Sun Wukong rarely saw in his daily life.

Furthermore, Piccolo had sacrificed his own life following the incident with Baby.

At this moment, Tien Shinhan and a Saibaman stood in a standoff.

The battle ignited in an instant.

"Hah!" The Saibaman let out a hiss and lunged toward the position where Tien Shinhan stood.

Tien Shinhan swung his large hand forward, striking the Saibaman with a palm blow.

The Saibaman flew backward.

Tien Shinhan pursued, intending to deliver a finishing blow.

The moment the Saibaman hit the ground, its head suddenly split open, spraying a strange, brain-like liquid from within.

Tien Shinhan dodged instinctively.

The slime splattered onto the ground, corroding a pit into the earth.

Krillin and Chiaotzu, standing to the side, turned deathly pale with fright.

"Impressive, what is that stuff it's spraying?" Sun Wukong remarked with a hint of wonder.

"Wukong... don't you think the stuff spraying out of that thing's head is weird?" Krillin wiped away sweat.

"Weird how?" Sun Wukong blinked in confusion.

"It's kind of like that..." Krillin didn't know how to put it.

"I feel like it's very similar, too," Yamcha nodded, lost in thought.

"What are you guys talking about?" Sun Wukong looked bewildered.

"Hey!"

Tien Shinhan rushed forward rapidly and delivered a heavy elbow strike to the Saibaman, landing a direct hit on its head.

The Saibaman's body shuddered violently, as if it were about to split apart, before it collapsed headfirst onto the ground.

"What's going on?" Nappa was slightly shocked.

"So amazing, Tien Shinhan, as expected of you!" Sun Wukong gave Tien Shinhan a thumbs-up.
