"Broly… was it really you who defeated Demon King Piccolo?"
Yamcha finally couldn't hold back his curiosity.
He stepped closer and asked cautiously while watching Broly devour the steaming dumplings Launch had just cooked.
"Didn't I already say so?" Broly swallowed a dumpling and took a sip of soup.
His tone was calm, as if he were talking about something as ordinary as eating a meal.
"I just killed him."
"Why make it so complicated with things like the Evil Containment Wave and rice cookers?"
His voice even carried a hint of confusion toward Master Roshi's complicated methods.
Everyone was speechless.
Thinking back, Broly had said something similar before they left.
But at the time, everyone assumed he was joking or simply being arrogant.
No one expected that he was serious—
And actually capable of doing it.
Roshi's Dramatic Retelling
Master Roshi soon jumped in with a vivid retelling of the battle.
With dramatic gestures and flying spit, he described:
How Broly attacked like lightning
How he casually grabbed Demon King Piccolo's head
How he crushed him like swatting a fly
And how he even threw Piccolo's corpse at the enemy spaceship
Of course, Roshi carefully skipped the part where Broly accidentally slammed his own head into the ground earlier.
Instead, he focused entirely on Broly's greatness—and his own pride as the man who raised him.
After hearing Roshi's exaggerated story, everyone sighed in amazement.
The way they looked at Broly became even more complicated.
There was shock.
Disbelief.
And a hint of respect.
Krillin's Reaction
"Broly, you're amazing!" Krillin said bravely.
He walked up and punched Broly's shoulder playfully.
"Ow—!"
Krillin immediately shook his hand in pain.
"You were hiding your strength all this time!"
"You seemed so quiet before, but when it mattered you were incredible!"
"I wasn't hiding," Broly replied simply.
He swallowed another dumpling and smiled innocently.
"I just don't like training. It's boring."
"But that doesn't mean I'm weak."
His logic was simple.
Strength, to him, was something natural—something that didn't require effort.
Yamcha's Question
"But still," Yamcha continued,
"when you fought Demon King Piccolo, you must have used your full power, right?"
After all, in Yamcha's imagination that battle had to be earth-shattering.
Master Roshi instantly covered his face in pain.
Not this question again…
I asked him the exact same thing…
Kid, you're too young.
You shouldn't ask that.
Sure enough—
Broly stopped chewing.
He scratched his thick black hair thoughtfully.
Then he answered honestly.
"No."
"I only used… about one ten-millionth of my power."
Roshi Is Done With Life
Master Roshi's blood pressure instantly skyrocketed.
That's not what you said earlier!
Before you said one-tenth of one ten-thousandth!
Now it's one ten-millionth?!
Your numbers keep getting smaller!
Did your math teacher fail you?!
Then Roshi suddenly froze.
Wait… I was his math teacher…
"Cough—COUGH—!"
Roshi coughed violently, trying to signal Broly with his eyes.
Stop talking!
If you keep going, next it'll be one billionth!
Broly Explains the "Calculation"
"Old man," Broly said seriously,
"I think my earlier calculation was wrong."
"My math isn't very good."
"On the way back I recalculated carefully."
"And I think one ten-millionth of my power is the more accurate number."
Master Roshi silently walked into the corner.
He picked up a glass of water and drank it in one gulp.
His soul felt exhausted.
Krillin wiped imaginary sweat from his forehead.
Broly, my friend…
Can you stop bragging so seriously?
"If you said one-hundredth… or even one-tenth… we might believe you!"
"But one ten-millionth?!"
That brag just left Earth's atmosphere.
Launch Believes Him
"Wow, Broly! That's incredible!"
Launch clasped her hands together.
Her eyes sparkled with admiration.
"You're so amazing! Even one ten-millionth of your power is that strong!"
She believed him completely.
Apparently she was the only person in the room who did.
Yamcha sighed helplessly.
It's over…
Launch has completely become Broly's biggest fan.
Love really does make people blind.
Goku Brings Up Kami
Meanwhile, Son Goku turned to Master Roshi.
"Grandpa," he said excitedly,
"Korin told me that Kami wants to see me."
"What did you say?!" Roshi's eyes widened.
"Kami?!"
"The Kami who lives in the Lookout?!"
"That's what Korin said," Goku replied with a grin.
"I'm not sure why yet."
"You must go!" Roshi said immediately.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"If you train under Kami, your power will grow tremendously!"
He paused.
Then added:
"And take Broly with you!"
Broly's Answer
Broly didn't even think for a second.
"No."
"I'm not going."
Master Roshi: "..."
