Because the demand for Turles is too high.
Mr. Popo simply spread out a huge blanket in the open area outside the Lookout and then brought out all the food.
The others watched silently as Turles wolfed down his food.
Except for Son Goku.
He left home around mealtime.
Not only did they not get to eat, they also spent half the day in fear at the Kami's Lookout.
Right now, watching Turles's whirlwind-like maneuvers...
His stomach started growling too.
Turles looked up.
The food in my mouth hasn't been swallowed yet.
He was pointing to the food on the blanket.
He invited Son Goku to eat with him, though his speech was unclear.
"Thank you... brother!"
Son Goku, somewhat embarrassed, picked up his plate and joined in the feast.
Mr. Popo watched this scene unfold.
His face turned black.
I made all this food, and you're thanking him? What do you mean by that?
The rest of the people could only watch the two enormous stomachs eat with utter boredom.
Although Son Goku also had an extraordinary appetite, he was like a greenhorn compared to Turles had endured six months of torment in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
They were relegated to the audience seats very early on.
Turles was clearly aiming to eat until he was stuffed.
As night deepens, the moonlight shines brightly.
Turles finally let out a satisfied burp.
"Earth's food is so delicious..."
" Mr. Popo!"
"Your cooking skills are quite good, I approve!"
A bead of cold sweat appeared on Mr. Popo's forehead.
I almost thought Turles was going to do something to him...
"Thank you so much!"
Then, Turles ' gaze was drawn to the starry sky above.
"So, Earth is a really great planet!"
" Kakarot, growing up on Earth has made you much happier than other Saiyan!"
He heard Turles mention himself again.
Son Goku grinned and laughed.
"Yes! I think so too!"
"Without a doubt!"
"Is that so?" Turles smiled and looked at Son Goku.
"By the way, Kakarot!"
Are you interested in working for me?
"Join the great Frieza Force and defend the peace of the universe?"
Turles smiled and waited for Son Goku's response.
But the smile on his face froze the next second.
"But! Didn't Bulma's sister say that Frieza Force is a villainous army that specializes in seizing other people's planets?" Son Goku, looking puzzled.
Turles stiffly shifted his gaze to Tights on the other side.
The latter, as if sensing something, looked away beforehand.
He casually looked at the stars.
In just half a day, this woman has revealed everything!
Turles came up to Son Goku.
"That's utter nonsense..."
"However, with your current Power Level, you're not even qualified to Frieza Force as a grunt cleaning up spaceships."
"Although... I didn't intend to join..."
Son Goku paused.
Then he looked directly into Turles ' eyes.
"But! I will continue to cultivate and become stronger!"
"From now on, I'll become stronger than you!"
"Bad guys like Frieza Force! I will defeat them!"
When Son Goku said those words, Krillin, Tien Shinhan, and several other Earth warriors all showed expressions of agreement.
Even Yamcha, who usually loves to joke around, abandoned his casual posture.
It was as if they had made the same grand ambition in their hearts!
"Become stronger through cultivation?"
" Kakarot! How will your training differ from before?"
"Haven't you been exercising all this time before today?"
Why are we still so weak?
Turles ' words not only referred to Son Goku.
It also slapped hard across the faces of all the Earth warriors behind it.
They had no idea how to answer Turles ' question.
Before this, they were among the most outstanding martial artists on Earth.
Son Goku is first, King Piccolo is second.
Next up are them. In Tien Shinhan's mind, he has always considered himself the third person!
Over the years, he has also believed that he has been getting stronger and getting closer to Son Goku and Piccolo!
But now, whether it's Son Goku or Piccolo...
In Turles ' eyes, they were all the same.
They are all equally weak.
"So, none of you know how to cultivate to become stronger."
"Let me tell you, the Earth is too small!"
No matter how solid your fundamentals are, or how many years you've trained!
"But! Earth is too comfortable!"
"I can't predict what the future holds, but for now, the Earth is at peace."
"For you, the most troublesome enemy is none other than the former King Piccolo, isn't it?"
Everyone nodded instinctively.
That's true.
But where does this sense of ease come from?
"No way!" Krillin finally couldn't help but retort, "When King Piccolo came out, we fought tooth and nail to survive! He almost destroyed the Earth!"
Turles continued.
"But you don't know, do you?"
King Piccolo is actually Namekian.
"Still an incomplete Namekian."
"Any random alien could rule the Earth!"
"This is Earth! But! This planet not only has Kakarot, but also things like the Dragon Ball!"
"An incomplete Namekian is utterly incapable of posing a threat to a planet protected by Saiyan."
"This not only makes the Earth more comfortable, but it also makes Kakarot more comfortable."
"Did you know that there are many planets in the universe that are as weak as Earth? They have no ability to cope with sudden crises. They either evolve in desperate situations or are reduced to cosmic dust."
"But what about Earth? It manages to maintain its status quo in this bizarre state of tranquility!"
"Your drive is not being truly developed."
Yamcha lowered her head. The two intersecting scars on her left cheek were particularly clear in the moonlight.
Those were traces he left in the wilderness when he was young. Back then, he was fighting for survival every single day.
When did it start? When did he feel he'd had enough and could take a break?
Turles stepped to the front of the group.
The moonlight shone on his back, casting a long shadow.
"Isn't this tranquility wonderful?"
"But once they encounter a truly strong opponent, they are utterly vulnerable!"
"If you want to protect this peace, you must keep getting stronger!"
"But it is precisely this comfort that prevents you from truly becoming stronger!"
"What if I were here today to conquer the Earth?" Turles asked with a half-smile.
"You can't do anything."
No one spoke among the pillars.
An eerie silence persisted for some time.
"I feel like my words have touched your souls. Don't think I'm being harsh; if I hadn't promised the Kami I'd help you become stronger, I wouldn't have wasted my breath."
"Think about it yourselves first. If you've made up your minds, you can come find me. I can offer you a chance to get out of Earth and see the world."
"That's enough for today. I think I need to get some rest."
