"Saibamen?"
Broly frowned slightly.
The term was unfamiliar to him.
Krillin quickly explained:
"They're strange seeds carried by Nappa. You plant them in the ground, and they grow into weird cabbage-headed creatures. There were six of them, and each one fought against us."
As he spoke, Krillin pointed toward several withered green remains scattered nearby.
After all—
Those seeds really had come from Nappa.
Broly glanced toward the twisted plant corpses lying under the sun.
Then his gaze slowly returned to Nappa.
And his eyes grew colder.
"So Yamcha's death was connected to you too."
Broly's expression darkened completely.
This time, he did not use his fists.
He bent down calmly—
Then grabbed Nappa's only remaining intact leg by the ankle.
CRRRRK.
His fingers tightened like iron clamps.
Even the cracking of bone could be heard.
Then—
Broly pulled.
VIOLENTLY.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH—!!!"
Nappa released another scream so agonizing it seemed to surpass human limits.
His body jerked upward from the force—
Before slamming back onto the ground.
Because Broly had just ripped off Nappa's entire right leg from the hip.
Not cut.
Not broken.
Ripped off through raw physical force alone.
Blood exploded outward like a fountain.
Muscle and flesh tore apart grotesquely.
The severed leg spun through the air before crashing far away into the ruins.
The scene was horrifying.
Even Gohan cried out in fear and immediately covered his eyes tightly with both hands.
His small body trembled.
Piccolo's face twitched involuntarily as well.
Cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Back then…
When Broly killed my father…
He was actually being merciful.
Piccolo felt a chill crawl up his spine.
This was different.
This was not simple killing.
This was punishment.
Cold.
Methodical.
Cruel.
Even Vegeta—someone who had witnessed countless bloody battles across the galaxy—felt his body shiver slightly.
He had seen massacres before.
But very rarely had he seen someone calmly and patiently dismantle another person piece by piece.
This was not rage.
This was deliberate torture.
Vegeta's throat suddenly felt dry.
So this is a Super Saiyan…
Bloodthirsty.
Cruel.
Monstrous.
Just as the legends described.
But what Vegeta could not understand was—
How had these Earthlings lived alongside Broly for so many years?
Weren't they afraid?
Didn't they fear that this terrifying monster beside them might suddenly lose control?
According to Saiyan legends, Super Saiyans were supposed to be violent destroyers incapable of peaceful coexistence.
And yet—
Earth still existed.
Not only that—
These humans clearly trusted Broly.
Relied on him.
Even Vegeta himself rarely tortured opponents.
Usually he simply killed them quickly.
Efficiently.
Proudly.
But Broly was different.
Broly wanted Nappa to suffer.
And suffer completely.
Nappa convulsed violently in agony.
His remaining eye slowly turned toward Krillin with extreme hatred.
If looks could kill—
Krillin would already have died a thousand deaths.
What do you mean it was MY Saibamen?!
That was Raditz's idea!
The seeds were mine, but HE organized the fights!
And now that bastard ran away and left all the blame on me?!
Not only that—
That bald runt sliced me in half earlier with that strange disk attack!
I haven't even taken revenge yet!
Unfortunately—
Nappa's jaw was shattered.
Most of his teeth were gone.
His tongue injured.
He could no longer speak clearly at all.
Only broken wheezing noises escaped his ruined mouth.
"Chiaotzu?"
Broly narrowed his eyes.
"How did he die?"
His voice had become frighteningly calm now.
And that calmness was even more terrifying.
Krillin clenched his fists painfully.
"Chiaotzu self-destructed to save Tien…"
His voice shook emotionally.
Broly's eyes sharpened instantly.
Then—
He crouched again.
One hand pressed against Nappa's final remaining leg.
The other grabbed below the knee.
And—
TWISTED.
RIIIIP!!!
The horrifying sound of tearing flesh and snapping bone echoed across the battlefield.
"GHHH—!!"
Nappa released one final broken gasp.
His eyes rolled backward violently.
Then—
His body finally went limp.
Completely unconscious.
His nervous system had finally shut down from unbearable agony.
Broly casually tossed the mutilated body aside like garbage.
THUD.
Blood rapidly spread across the scorched earth beneath Nappa.
Then—
Broly calmly reached into his pocket.
And took out another Senzu Bean.
The tiny green bean glimmered under the afternoon sunlight.
Then Broly split it in half.
CRACK.
He returned one half to his pocket.
The remaining half—
He crushed into fine powder between his fingers.
Then casually sprinkled some into Nappa's ruined mouth.
Like feeding medicine to a dying animal.
The powder dissolved instantly.
And suddenly—
Nappa's dying body twitched.
His pulse strengthened slightly.
His fading eyes regained a tiny trace of awareness.
Life returned.
Just barely.
But because it was only a tiny amount of Senzu powder—
His horrifying injuries remained completely unchanged.
His limbs did not regenerate.
His shattered bones remained broken.
The pain stayed exactly the same.
Only his consciousness returned.
And because of that—
The suffering became even worse.
"Ghhh… ahhh… hhh…"
The broken cries escaping Nappa's throat sounded even more miserable than before.
It was the sound of someone who wanted death—
But was not allowed to die.
Meanwhile—
Vegeta's eyes locked completely onto the remaining half of the Senzu Bean.
That bean…
Just a little powder from it revived Nappa from the edge of death.
Then—
Was that how Broly healed him earlier too?
Vegeta's heartbeat accelerated rapidly.
A dangerous thought surfaced inside his mind.
If I could obtain those beans…
Suddenly—
Broly pointed toward Vegeta floating in the sky.
"What about him?"
"Did Vegeta kill anyone?"
Krillin scratched his bald head awkwardly.
Then genuinely thought about it carefully.
Vegeta instantly turned pale.
His entire body tensed.
His eyes stabbed toward Krillin sharply.
Bald brat…
If you start lying right now—
I'll kill you before I die.
This whole thing has nothing to do with me!
I never even attacked them directly!
The city was destroyed by Nappa!
The deaths were caused by Nappa and the Saibamen!
I'M innocent!
After a moment, Krillin slowly shook his head.
"…I don't think Vegeta killed anyone."
Vegeta nearly collapsed from relief.
A long breath escaped his mouth.
Cold sweat soaked his armor.
This bald guy…
is actually pretty decent.
At least he didn't frame me.
Krillin then turned toward Piccolo uncertainly.
"Right?"
Piccolo slowly pointed downward toward the destroyed city ruins below.
"…Then who destroyed the city?"
The moment those words fell—
Vegeta's face changed instantly.
Nappa's remaining eye widened in horror too.
"Right…"
Broly frowned deeply.
"A lot of people died here."
Then—
His cold gaze slowly rose toward Vegeta.
"Was it you, Vegeta?"
"NO!"
Vegeta denied it immediately without hesitation.
"It was Nappa!"
"He fired the attack the moment we landed!"
At a time like this—
Honor meant nothing.
Survival came first.
Broly turned toward Nappa slowly.
Nappa's body trembled violently.
Then—
His survival instincts exploded.
"It… it was Vegeta's order!"
Nappa desperately forced the words out through his ruined throat.
"He… he told me to intimidate Earth…"
"So he ordered me to destroy the city…"
Vegeta's veins bulged violently.
"You liar!"
"I never ordered that!"
Nappa immediately shouted back desperately:
"Why else would I destroy it myself?!"
Since only the two of them had been present—
Nappa decided to fully commit to framing Vegeta.
No witnesses.
No proof.
Let Vegeta carry the blame too!
Vegeta nearly exploded from rage.
He suddenly raised his hand toward Nappa.
Blue energy rapidly gathered in his palm.
Killing intent burst from his eyes.
That bastard dared frame me?!
I'll kill him first!
But—
Broly's cold voice immediately sounded.
"What?"
"Trying to silence him?"
Vegeta froze instantly.
The gathered energy scattered away.
His arm stiffened awkwardly in midair.
Damn it!
If I kill him now, I'll look completely guilty!
Vegeta felt so frustrated he nearly coughed blood.
"Hmph!"
"If I truly gave the order, I would never deny it!"
Vegeta forced himself to remain calm.
"I am Vegeta!"
"I always take responsibility for my actions!"
"Destroying a city means nothing to me!"
"But if I didn't do it, I won't accept being framed!"
Broly narrowed his eyes slowly.
"I'll give both of you one last chance."
"If either of you is lying…"
His unfinished sentence carried terrifying pressure.
Vegeta forced himself to stand proudly.
Even though his palms were soaked in sweat.
Nappa, meanwhile, continued desperately:
"It was Vegeta!"
"Raditz and I always followed his orders!"
"He tells us what to do!"
"We obey!"
At this point, Nappa's brain suddenly worked extremely well.
For survival—
He was willing to dump everything onto Vegeta.
Then suddenly—
Broly frowned.
"Where's Raditz?"
Only now did he realize Raditz had completely disappeared.
The moment Raditz's name appeared—
Nappa became furious internally again.
That bastard escaped alone and left me here?!
Immediately, Nappa shouted:
"Raditz already fled Earth!"
"And Yamcha's death wasn't my fault either!"
"It was Raditz who forced me to release the Saibamen!"
"He organized the fights!"
"That's why he ran away afterward!"
"He knew you'd come after him!"
The more Nappa spoke—
The smoother it became.
At this moment, he finally understood why Raditz had fled so quickly.
Because he feared Broly.
Terrified of him.
Damn it, Raditz!
You should've warned me earlier!
If you told me Broly was this terrifying—
I would've escaped with you!
You ran alone and left me suffering here!
Broly rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
Then—
He fully expanded his sensing ability.
His perception spread rapidly across Earth…
And even into outer space surrounding the planet.
But soon—
Broly frowned deeper.
He could not sense Raditz at all.
Not even the slightest trace remained.
