• Turles reported that the Heeters Group had engaged in questionable conduct toward the Frieza Force and Frieza, and began recounting the details of their mission transaction.

Turles exposed the Heeters Group's scheme and persuaded Frieza to consider a new interstellar real estate and property management business. Frieza gave Turles permission to choose his own base and put the plan into practice, including using Frieza in publicity.

• Nail sensed Turles’s increased power, confirmed Dende had helped him, and turned away resentfully.

Turles summoned Porunga and used his first two wishes to gain limited teleportation and learn the Tree of Might seed’s history and cultivation requirements. He learned the tree could only produce true Fruit of the Gods on Core World, and forcing it to grow on a mortal planet would irreversibly drain life.

• Dende summoned Porunga, who appeared and offered three wishes.
• Turles asked to teleport anywhere in the universe, but Porunga said that power was beyond him and offered teleportation limited to three designated planets instead.
• Turles chose Earth, Planet Namek, and Planet Yardrat, and Porunga granted the wish.
• Turles had Cacao give him the Tree of Might seed and asked Porunga to reveal everything about it.
• Porunga explained that the tree came from Core World, where its fruit once helped young members of the divine race, and that it could grow and bear true fruit only in divine soil.

Turles used his final wish to increase the number of S-Cells in his body, then left Planet Namek with Tights and Cacao. The Grand Elder explained that he had helped Turles to make him a friend rather than an enemy, while Nail went to train after realizing how far Turles surpassed him.
