Chapter 390: The Insignificant Kakarot, His Power Level...
Upon hearing Vegeta's reminder, Nappa and Raditz hurriedly activated their Power Level Detectors to assess the power levels of Sun Wukong and the others in real-time.
Once their ability to conceal their energy signatures was exposed, Krillin and the others decided to reveal themselves, all choosing to unleash their power surges simultaneously.
As their energy surged, the numbers on Raditz's Power Level Detector began to fluctuate wildly.
"5000, 2600, 1800... Kakarot's power level is actually 8000!
This can't be! It's impossible! Kakarot is just a Low-Rank Warrior, how could he possibly have such an astonishing power level!
He's surpassed that good-for-nothing Raditz, and now he's even higher than me. This Power Level Detector must be malfunctioning due to its age."
As Nappa witnessed the power levels of Sun Wukong and Krillin, his expression gradually shifted from disdain to calm, and then from calm to shock and disbelief! Despite being Vegeta's followers, Nappa's pride and ego were equally substantial.
Unlike Raditz, Kakarot, and the other Low-Rank Warriors, Nappa was born with the potential to become a Mid-Level Warrior.
Although there were many Saiyans on Vegeta's planet, nearly ninety-nine percent of them were born with the capabilities of Low-Rank Warriors.
There were only about a dozen Mid-Level Warriors on the entire planet, including King Vegeta, who was also of this caliber.
Advanced Warriors were a rarity in the history of the Saiyan race.
With his superior bloodline, Nappa couldn't accept that his power level was inferior to Kakarot, a mere Low-Rank Warrior.
"There's no mistake, the Power Level Detector must be malfunctioning. The last time I came to Earth, Kakarot's power level was only 1000. How could it have skyrocketed to this extent in such a short time!"
Raditz, too, couldn't accept what he saw on the Power Level Detector.
Despite experiencing Kakarot's strength firsthand from the kick he received, Raditz's heart refused to acknowledge this painful reality.
He had almost shed the label of the 'Weakest Saiyan,' but now, he found himself back in that position.
What bothered Raditz the most was that Kakarot had been soundly beaten by him before. How could Kakarot have improved so much in such a short time?
Raditz had been half-dead after being beaten by Yecheng, and it was only in his near-death state that his Saiyan abilities were activated, causing his power level to surge. But how could Kakarot have achieved this without such a near-death experience?
"We're all Saiyans. Why can't you be like Yecheng, who doesn't wantonly trample and destroy others' planets?"
There's still time to leave Earth. Otherwise, I won't hold back this time!"
Sun Wukong's nature was inherently kind, or perhaps naive. Even though they were enemies, Raditz was still his brother.
With Sun Wukong's previous personality, even after defeating his opponent, he would likely spare their life.
However, the experiences of Naria and Yecheng had served as a wake-up call for Sun Wukong. If he chose to let Raditz and the others go again, what consequences would follow?
At this moment, Sun Wukong had made up his mind. If Raditz didn't change his ways, he wouldn't show mercy, even if Raditz was his brother. To protect Earth, he would ensure Raditz was sent to the Netherworld!
"You're quite arrogant, Kakarot.
To be honest, it's quite remarkable to have achieved such a power level on this remote and barren planet.
But don't think for a second that your measly 8,000 power level will be enough to defeat us."
Upon seeing Kakarot's power level, Vegeta's expression was one of surprise, but he didn't believe it was due to a faulty power level detector.
Even if the detector malfunctioned, it was highly unlikely that all three of their detectors would have issues at the same time.
The only possibility was that Kakarot genuinely possessed such strength.
"Raditz, you and Nappa go clean up those Namekians and Earthlings over there. As for Kakarot, I'll take care of him personally."
"But Vegeta, I... Alright, I understand. I'll go deal with the others right away."
Hearing that Vegeta wanted to handle Kakarot himself, Raditz was about to say something, but he stopped halfway upon seeing Vegeta's intimidating gaze and decided to keep quiet.
Having spent so many years with Vegeta, Raditz and Nappa were well aware of his temperament.
Vegeta was not like the naive Yecheng and Kakarot; anyone who dared to defy his orders would face his ruthless side.
"Kakarot, considering you managed to attain this power level, I'll give you a chance.
If you surrender and follow me now, I can choose to let bygones be bygones and spare these Earthlings."
Ever since learning that his home planet, Vegeta, was destroyed by Frieza, Vegeta had not a day where he didn't yearn for revenge.
The surviving Saiyans in the universe were few and far between, and although Vegeta was naturally aloof and cold, he was still merciful to the handful of remaining Saiyans.
Vegeta was well aware of Frieza's immense power, not to mention Frieza himself, and his two subordinates, Dodoria and Zarbon, along with the Ginyu Force, were all formidable opponents.
Kakarot's power level of 8,000, while not a match for Frieza's army officers, was still significantly stronger than Nappa and Raditz.
To defeat Frieza, Vegeta had to bide his time and secretly gather enough strength.
Vegeta didn't trust many people, and he wouldn't easily believe others, which was why he had been searching for surviving Saiyans scattered across the universe.
"I was raised by my grandfather as an Earthling, and even if I am a Saiyan, I will not join you in your destructive path, trampling and destroying other people's planets!"
Facing Vegeta, Sun Wukong also assumed a serious combat stance, as he was well aware that his opponent was not on the same level as Raditz, whom he had just fought.
The ground beneath Sun Wukong's feet cracked instantly, and his body erupted in flame-like energy as he charged towards Vegeta at an astonishing speed.
However, just like Raditz had faced Sun Wukong earlier, Vegeta effortlessly dodged all of Sun Wukong's punches and kicks.
While dodging, Vegeta taunted Sun Wukong, "Kakarot, is this all you've got?
With this level of skill, you had the audacity to boast about letting us go earlier. It's laughable..."
