The next instant—
Nappa's body blurred again into an afterimage.
A violent shockwave burst beneath his feet as he accelerated through the air even faster than before.
Now that he had fully adapted to his newfound power, every movement felt smoother, sharper, and overwhelmingly explosive.
Vegeta's face became uglier and uglier.
Under the blazing afternoon sun, beads of sweat visibly formed across his forehead.
His jaw clenched so tightly that the muscles in his cheeks twitched violently.
Anger.
Humiliation.
And deep beneath both—
A faint trace of fear.
Because Vegeta could clearly sense it now.
Nappa truly had become much stronger.
That previous punch alone already surpassed Nappa's former level by a huge margin.
Possibly—
It had already surpassed Vegeta himself.
If that blow had landed directly…
A shattered skull would have been the best-case outcome.
Worst case—
Instant death.
SHWIP!
Vegeta vanished from his original position instantly.
He did not choose to clash head-on.
He was not stupid.
Against a clear power difference, direct confrontation was suicide.
His body darted backward diagonally through the sky, leaving several fading afterimages behind as he attempted to create distance.
Nappa punched straight through one of Vegeta's residual images.
Missing again.
His expression instantly twisted into rage.
Then he turned toward Vegeta's new position in the distance and grinned coldly.
"Vegeta!"
"Stop running!"
"Aren't you supposed to be strong?"
"Aren't you the genius warrior?"
Nappa's laughter echoed across the battlefield.
"Come fight me directly!"
"Let me see what you're really capable of!"
Vegeta clenched his fists so tightly that his arms trembled.
The fury inside him had reached the limit.
But logic still restrained him.
Charging recklessly now would only get him killed.
"You can be a coward too, huh, Vegeta?!"
Nappa laughed even harder.
At this point, he had practically forgotten Broly was even standing nearby.
In Nappa's mind—
Broly might possess strange tricks…
But absolutely could not surpass someone with 24,000 battle power.
"Hmph!"
Vegeta snorted coldly.
He knew he could not continue dodging forever.
That would only make Nappa more arrogant.
His hands slowly separated before his chest.
Blue energy rapidly gathered between his palms.
A low buzzing vibration filled the air.
His face twisted from rage and power concentration alike.
"So?"
Nappa crossed his arms mockingly.
"You planning something?"
He floated casually in the air, looking down at Vegeta as though watching street entertainment.
He simply did not believe Vegeta could unleash anything capable of threatening him now.
"Since your battle power increased…"
Vegeta narrowed his eyes sharply.
"Then why don't you try taking this attack head-on?"
He needed to test the difference between them.
And also buy himself time to think.
"You can try!"
Nappa laughed arrogantly.
SHWOOOOOSH!
Vegeta thrust both palms forward.
A massive blue energy beam erupted violently from his hands.
The attack tore through the atmosphere with thunderous force.
The ground below split open from the overflowing energy alone.
But—
Nappa did not dodge.
He even lowered most of his defensive aura.
Then casually—
He raised one hand.
SLAM!!!
The moment Vegeta's beam collided with Nappa's palm—
The explosion everyone expected never happened.
Instead—
Nappa forcefully deflected the entire attack.
His muscles bulged violently.
Then with one savage upward swing—
The gigantic energy beam was slapped skyward.
BOOOOOOM!!!
Hundreds of meters above the battlefield—
The attack exploded like a miniature sun.
Blue light swallowed the clouds.
The shockwave thundered across the sky.
"Hahahahaha!"
Nappa shook his slightly numb hand.
"That's all?"
"My hand's only a little numb!"
He laughed wildly.
Vegeta's pupils shrank violently.
His face darkened completely.
Coldness spread through his spine.
Nappa really had surpassed him.
And by a terrifying amount.
Vegeta now understood everything clearly.
Broly had healed Nappa.
Not once—
But twice.
The first time after being bisected.
The second time just now.
And each recovery had boosted Nappa enormously.
"Broly!"
Nappa suddenly grinned toward the silent Saiyan below.
"Thanks for healing me!"
Then his smile turned cold.
"As repayment…"
"Hand over that treasure bowl."
"And maybe I won't kill you."
Vegeta glanced toward Broly as well.
His expression became extremely complicated.
Broly remained standing there calmly.
Silent.
Motionless.
He did not even bother responding to Nappa's threat.
Only the faintest trace of amusement flickered through his eyes.
Meanwhile—
Vegeta suddenly felt an indescribably bitter emotion rise within him.
I didn't kill anyone on Earth.
Nappa killed several people.
So why is HE the one getting rewarded?!
For a brief moment—
Vegeta's thoughts even began twisting irrationally.
Should I kill the Namekian?
The brat?
The bald one?
Maybe I can gain power too…
His thinking had already started becoming unstable from jealousy.
After all—
Both Raditz and Nappa had now surpassed him.
Former subordinates.
Former fools.
Both had climbed above the Saiyan Prince himself.
"I have a few questions."
Broly finally spoke.
His voice remained calm and steady.
But carried absolute authority.
Nappa immediately sneered again.
"You should hurry up and give me the treasure bowl—"
He never finished the sentence.
Broly frowned slightly.
Clearly annoyed.
Then—
Without changing expression—
He casually waved one hand through the air.
A light motion.
Gentle.
Almost lazy.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
The atmosphere exploded.
Compressed air instantly formed a gigantic invisible shockwave.
The ground split apart violently.
Soil and rocks were ripped upward like paper.
The compressed air struck Nappa head-on before he could even react.
"AAAAAAAHHHHH—!!"
Nappa screamed.
Only once.
Then—
He vanished into the horizon like a cannonball.
A chain of sonic booms exploded behind him.
Within seconds—
He became nothing more than a tiny black dot in the sky.
Vegeta froze completely.
Broly…
Had just sent away a 24,000-power Nappa…
Using air pressure alone.
No ki blast.
No energy attack.
Just a casual wave.
This was absurd.
No—
This was monstrous.
Suddenly—
Everything made sense.
Raditz's fear.
His desperate escape.
His terror of Earth.
It had all been because of Broly.
SHWIP!
Broly vanished.
Not Instant Transmission—
Pure speed.
Even Vegeta's eyes barely followed him.
In the next instant—
Broly appeared directly behind the flying Nappa.
Then grabbed Nappa's head with one hand.
Like grabbing a toy.
And slammed him downward.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
The earth exploded violently.
A gigantic crater over fifteen meters wide instantly formed.
Shockwaves flattened everything nearby.
The entire battlefield trembled.
Vegeta stared blankly.
This speed…
This strength…
This overwhelming dominance…
This guy absolutely was not a normal Saiyan.
He truly might be the legendary Super Saiyan Frieza feared most.
As the dust slowly settled—
Broly emerged from the crater.
He held Nappa by the torn armor around his neck like a dead animal.
Nappa's face had swollen grotesquely.
Blood covered his body.
His limbs dangled uselessly.
Even Nappa himself looked mentally broken.
24,000 battle power…
And he still got destroyed effortlessly.
He could not understand it.
Why?
Why was this Earth-raised Saiyan so overwhelmingly strong?
SHWIP! SHWIP! SHWIP!
At that moment—
Piccolo, Krillin, and Gohan finally arrived.
Seeing Nappa hanging limply in Broly's hand—
None of them looked particularly surprised.
Krillin looked away after one glance.
Gohan's face turned pale.
Piccolo remained expressionless.
They were already used to Broly's absurd strength.
"You came at the right time."
Broly turned toward them calmly.
Still holding Nappa in the air.
"How exactly was Tenshinhan's arm severed?"
Krillin's expression immediately darkened.
"That monster…"
"He punched it off!"
"Tenshinhan's entire arm flew away!"
Krillin's voice trembled with grief and fury.
The horrifying memory replayed vividly in his mind.
Broly's eyebrows slowly furrowed.
Then—
Without hesitation—
He punched Nappa's remaining arm.
BOOM!!!
The shoulder joint exploded apart instantly.
Nappa's arm tore clean off his body.
Blood sprayed across the battlefield.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"
Nappa's scream sounded like a dying animal.
His body convulsed violently.
His remaining eye bulged with agony.
"Too noisy."
Broly said coldly.
Then punched Nappa directly in the mouth.
CRACK!!!
Blood and broken teeth exploded outward.
Nappa's jaw collapsed inward instantly.
Now he could no longer scream properly.
Only broken wheezing noises escaped his ruined mouth.
But Broly still wasn't satisfied.
He dropped Nappa to the ground.
Then stepped on his elbow—
Grabbed the wrist—
And pulled upward violently.
CRRRRACK!!!
The second arm tore apart completely.
Blood flooded the scorched earth.
Nappa twitched violently in agony.
Yet could no longer even scream correctly.
Broly looked down coldly at the broken Saiyan.
"And Yamcha?"
"How did he die?"
Krillin lowered his head painfully.
"He was killed when a Saibaman self-destructed…"
His voice became hoarse.
The image of Yamcha's burned corpse inside the crater flashed once more through his mind.
