"Don't be so full of yourself! If Goku hadn't gone out to train and hadn't returned yet, you'd have already been beaten to a pulp by him!"
Seeing Master Roshi toss out the rice cooker, Bulma, who knew the side effects of the Evil Containment Wave, darkened in expression and immediately shouted tremblingly at Raditz.
She was also present when Goku and the others were learning the Evil Containment Wave, knowing that if the gap in strength was too vast, executing the Evil Containment Wave would result in certain death.
Master Roshi's Master, Mutaito, had exhausted his life force and died precisely because he used the Evil Containment Wave to Seal King Piccolo.
The gap in strength between Master Roshi and the Saiyan before them was presumably even greater than that between Mutaito and King Piccolo, so using the Evil Containment Wave would definitely kill him.
Fortunately, they still had the dragon balls; by then, they could resurrect Master Roshi, as well as everyone else killed by the Frieza Force squad and Raditz.
But right now, the most important thing was not to let Raditz discover the threat of the Evil Containment Wave, so she mustered up her courage to attract Raditz's attention.
"Beaten to a pulp by him? You really are ignorant. Then let you lowly little bugs witness the true strength of Lord Raditz!"
Raditz wore a mocking expression as his hands quickly condensed energy spheres the size of a human head.
These two energy spheres were enough to blast the entire royal city into flat ground and kill all the weak bugs in front of him.
"Now is the time, Evil Containment..."
At this moment, Master Roshi raised both hands, preparing to launch the Evil Containment Wave Seal against Raditz, when a figure suddenly appeared beside him.
"Grandpa Roshi, leave it to me!"
Goku reached out and patted Grandpa Roshi on the shoulder, directly interrupting the Evil Containment Wave he was about to cast.
"Goku!"
Seeing Goku appear, Bulma was so excited that tears almost fell.
Meanwhile, Master Roshi and the teenage Piccolo over there simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
"Die!"
Regardless of who the sudden extra person was, Raditz flew straight into the air and tossed down two energy blasts.
Goku's figure flashed, and with a wave of his hands to the left and right, he easily batted away those two energy blasts.
This scene instantly stiffened the expression of Raditz, who was just preparing to burst into loud laughter.
"How is that possible?!"
You must know that those two energy blasts he had just condensed, although not his full strength, still possessed a combat power of six or seven hundred.
Yet they were batted away directly.
"Huh? Your appearance?"
When he carefully looked at the face of the boy who had batted away his energy blasts, he suddenly had a very familiar feeling.
"Why does he look so much like Father..."
The facial contours and features of the boy below were practically a miniature version of Father, only appearing a bit more tender.
"Could you be..."
He looked toward the back of the boy's waist and happened to see that swaying tail.
"As expected, you're Kakarot! I didn't expect that as a lower-class Warrior, you could actually grow to this extent."
Looking so much like Father, possessing the Saiyan-unique tail, and being around the right age—if it wasn't his younger brother Kakarot, who else could it be?
But what he didn't expect was that his younger brother Kakarot, a lower-class Warrior, actually possessed a combat power that exceeded his expectations.
Being able to bat away his two energy blasts indicated that his combat power should be around seven or eight hundred.
A combat power of seven or eight hundred, though inferior to his own, already exceeded the standard of an average lower-class Warrior.
A normal lower-class Warrior basically reached a combat power of four or five hundred upon adulthood, which was already considered decent.
"Kakarot, what is going on with this Planet? Wasn't your mission to completely destroy all of Earth's humans?"
"What kind of game are you playing?"
Raditz landed opposite Goku and questioned him sternly.
By the way, he subconsciously pressed the scouter on his left eye; this was his habit.
Then, he saw the numbers on the scouter soaring at a terrifying speed.
Combat power 500... Combat power 1,000... Combat power 3,000... Combat power 10,000... Combat power 20,000... Combat power 22,000.
"Bang!"
Just as the flickering value before his eyes reached 22,000, due to exceeding its operational limit, the scouter suddenly exploded and broke.
"What, a combat power of 22,000?! That's impossible!"
Raditz's eyes almost popped out of his sockets, but soon he realized something, and a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.
"It must be that the scouter suffered some damage while fighting on that previous Planet, which is why it malfunctioned."
Being able to make the scouter explode from exceeding its detection range would mean that his younger brother Kakarot's strength had already surpassed 22,000.
But that was absolutely impossible.
Even the upper-class Warrior with the greatest talent on Planet Vegeta, the prince of the Saiyans—Vegeta—had a current combat power that had only just broken 10,000.
It wasn't to say breaking 10,000 wasn't high; you must know that before Planet Vegeta was destroyed, the combat power of King Vegeta, the most powerful Warrior of the Saiyans, was only 10,000.
And for Vegeta to reach 10,000 at such a young age, he could be said to be the most talented Warrior in Saiyan history.
Perhaps in the future, he could achieve the legendary Super Saiyan.
Therefore, even within the Frieza Force, which was crowded with powerful fighters, those whose combat power surpassed Vegeta were not many.
Therefore, as a lower-class Warrior born with a combat power of only two points, Kakarot grew up on a Planet as weak as Earth—
and was also five years younger than Prince Vegeta.
For his strength to exceed 22,000—as long as his brain was functioning normally, he knew that was a sheer fairytale.
The only explanation was that his scouter was broken; this wasn't the first time such a thing had happened.
"What Kakarot? What are you talking about? Do we know each other?"
Goku looked at Raditz and tried hard to recall, finding that there was no such guy in his memory.
Upon seeing this, Raditz frowned slightly:
"Kakarot, have you actually become so forgetful that you've even forgotten what I look like?"
"My name isn't Kakarot, my name is Son Goku. Did you mistake me for someone else?"
Goku tilted his head.
"What, there's actually such a thing?"
Raditz stepped forward, and then asked in a stern tone:
"Did your head suffer some severe impact when you were little, which is why you forgot your mission?
"Tell me!"
"An impact? Although I don't remember it very well, my head did indeed suffer an impact when I was little."
Goku touched his own head and then nodded.
At this moment, Master Roshi suddenly spoke up:
"Goku, I heard your Grandpa Gohan once say:
One day, he found some strange thing falling down in a deep valley.
When he went over to check, he found a child with a tail growing out of his bottom inside a circular Robot.
He brought that child home to raise, but for some reason, the child's temper was extremely violent.
Until one day, the child accidentally fell into the valley and banged his head, almost losing his life.
Ever since then, the child's temper suddenly changed, becoming a filial and good boy."
"That child was me?"
How could Goku not know at this point that the person Grandpa Roshi was talking about was himself?
"I knew it was like this. Then let me tell you your true identity."
Raditz unwrapped the tail he had wrapped around his waist and showed it to Goku.
"Your name is Kakarot. You were born on Planet Vegeta, and you are a descendant of the Saiyans, the strongest Warrior race in the Universe, just like me.
And I am your biological older brother, Raditz..."
Raditz began to slowly recount Goku's background, the destruction of Planet Vegeta, the work of the Saiyans, and so on.
