The Third Saiyan Attacks

In a wilderness on the outskirts of East City, where hardly anyone ever came, a figure suddenly flew in and slammed straight into the ground.

"You damn brat, you dared to sneak attack me!"

Dust billowed from the ground, leaving a small crater. Nappa stood up without a scratch.

He thought he had merely let his guard down. He refused to believe that a half-blood Saiyan brat could possess a battle power far beyond his own.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Figures landed one after another, each of them eagerly eyeing Nappa, all because Son Gohan had gotten things off to a great start.

"Calm down, Nappa. Don't let your guard down." Vegeta frowned deeply. He felt that these Earthlings were not as simple as they looked.

"Release the Saibamen and test them."

"Oh, right. Earth's soil is just right for them."

Nappa took out six seeds, scattered them across the ground, and poured a few drops of nutrient solution over them.

The next second, six ugly Saibamen with sharp claws burst from the ground, their crimson eyes fixed on Son Gohan and the others.

"They look pretty strong," Yamcha commented.

"They're nothing special. Just six slightly weaker Raditzes," Son Gohan said calmly.

Raditz's battle power was 1,500, while the Saibamen's was 1,200. There was not much difference.

"You dare bring out this kind of trash?"

Piccolo's confidence swelled as he stepped forward. He could not wait to show the results of his training.

"Kreee!"

The six Saibamen sprang into action and lunged at Piccolo at once, completely covering his body.

"Hahaha! He's just a Namekian. He overestimated himself!" Nappa laughed as he rubbed his bald head.

"Is he really all right?"

Krillin was somewhat worried. He knew Piccolo was strong now, but he did not know exactly how strong.

"Don't worry, Krillin." Son Goku smiled, not the least bit concerned.

"Boom!"

A brilliant flash erupted from Piccolo's body. The six Saibamen shrieked as their bodies flew uncontrollably into the air, where they all burned up and exploded into dust.

"Great job, Piccolo!" Tien Shinhan and the others shouted.

"That move is called Burning Vegetables." Looking at the six bursts of fireworks in the sky, Son Gohan gave it a name.

The moment Piccolo attacked, the numbers on Nappa and Vegeta's scouters began jumping wildly.

"7... 7,500? It has to be malfunctioning!" Nappa ripped off his scouter in rage and crushed it in his hand.

He was an upper-class Saiyan warrior, yet his battle power was only 4,000. How could a mere Namekian be twice as strong as him?

Vegeta, on the other hand, remained composed and quickly regained his calm. His battle power was 18,000, and if he transformed into a Great Ape, it would surge tenfold.

Piccolo's displayed battle power was not enough for him to take seriously.

"I'll tear you apart myself!"

Nappa roared and charged forward, spreading his muscular arms as he tried to strangle Piccolo to death.

"Heh. A useless brute all bark and no bite."

Piccolo stood still. Just as Nappa was about to touch him, he flashed behind Nappa.

He moved so quickly that he could not be seen clearly. His palm cut like a blade toward Nappa's neck.

"Bang!"

Nappa suffered a powerful blow and pitched forward, making the ground tremble heavily.

"Argh! You bastard!"

Nappa screamed in pain, blood running from the corner of his mouth. Piccolo had clearly held back, or that strike would have killed him.

"Gohan."

A voice entered Son Gohan's mind directly.

"King Kai?" Son Gohan looked up at the sky.

"This is bad. Saiyans have invaded Earth," King Kai's worried voice said.

"I know. I'm fighting them right now." Son Gohan found it strange. Could King Kai not see what was happening on Earth?

"I mean another Saiyan. He planted a seed called the Tree of Might on Earth."

"The fruit borne by this tree is something only gods are permitted to eat."

"Once the Tree of Might takes root, it will absorb all the nutrients from the land. The entire planet will turn into a barren wasteland where not a blade of grass can grow."

"Eh? Turles?!"

The moment Son Gohan heard Tree of Might, he guessed who the Saiyan was.

But wasn't Turles a movie character? Why had he appeared at this time?

Could my transmigration have thrown the Dragon Ball world's time and space into chaos, causing powerful enemies who should not have appeared to show up early?

He immediately flew into the air and carefully sensed his surroundings. Sure enough, Turles's evil aura was in the distance.

It seemed that the moment those people arrived on Earth, they had planted the Tree of Might's seed.

"Dad, I'll leave this place to you. Another powerful enemy has appeared in the distance."

Son Gohan quickly explained what had happened, then sped toward Turles alone.

Tien Shinhan and the others wanted to follow, but he refused them all. Turles and his group had eaten the Tree of Might's fruit, and their strength was formidable.

Those few underlings of Turles's were stronger than Nappa. If Tien Shinhan and the others went now, they would only become a burden.

"Gohan, wait for me!"

Piccolo followed from behind. Upon hearing that another powerful enemy had appeared, he immediately killed Nappa.

He could feel an intense pressure from Vegeta. Piccolo was no fool, so he left Vegeta to Son Goku.

In the southwest, a massive Tree of Might came into view. Turles and his group were waiting amid its branches for the fruit to ripen.

"Turles, so it really is you. Prince Vegeta has set his sights on this planet. Are you planning to oppose him?"

Son Gohan suddenly came up with a good idea on the way and loudly questioned him now.

Turles's battle power was 19,000, about the same as Vegeta's. If those two clashed, it should be quite a spectacle.

"Oh, a Saiyan?" Turles was somewhat surprised when he saw the tail behind Son Gohan.

"Vegeta is here too? Isn't he Frieza's lackey?"

Back then, Turles had also been carrying out missions for the Frieza Force elsewhere. He had escaped the explosion of Planet Vegeta and survived.

Unlike Vegeta, he later chose to betray Frieza.

By continuously planting Trees of Might on different planets and consuming their fruit to rapidly grow stronger, his ultimate goal was to defeat Frieza and rule the universe.

That was why Turles looked down on Vegeta completely.

"Prince Vegeta is waiting for you to go over there," Son Gohan continued acting.

"He really is on this planet." Turles scanned the area with his scouter and discovered Vegeta fighting someone.

But he had no intention of going. His top priority was waiting for the fruit to ripen.

"Who else from the Frieza Force has come?"

Turles was somewhat concerned. He could deal with Vegeta alone, but if Dodoria and Zarbon had come as well, things would become troublesome.

"The Ginyu Force is here too."

"What did you say?!" Turles's face changed in horror, and he could no longer remain calm.

Any member of the Ginyu Force could slaughter him with ease. Unless he ate the Tree of Might's fruit planted on Earth—but the fruit still needed time to ripen.

Turles carefully scanned Earth with his scouter and found no members of the Ginyu Force at all. He realized he had been fooled.

"You dare toy with me?" Turles flew into a rage.

"Hehe, you figured it out."

Son Gohan realized Turles was too cautious. No matter how he tried to deceive him, Turles would not leave the Tree of Might even for a step. Then he could only strike without mercy.
