"You you you..." Vegeta's lips kept trembling, stuttering, unable to complete his sentences.
Kakarot is a Super Saiyan?
Are you joking?
I'm the most talented Saiyan!
The one who should become a Super Saiyan should be me, Vegeta!
Why is it this low-class warrior?
Wait!
I think I understand something!
The Dragon Balls!
It's the Dragon Balls!
Did this guy use the Dragon Balls to wish to become a Super Saiyan?
Otherwise, how is this possible?
I'm the Saiyan prince!
It must be like this!
A year ago, he couldn't even beat Raditz.
And now you're saying he's a Super Saiyan?
Many, many thoughts floated through Vegeta's mind, and he ultimately concluded that Goku must have used the Dragon Balls to wish to become a Super Saiyan.
No wonder Vegeta didn't believe it.
After all, Goku was essentially killed by Raditz.
Raditz's power level was about the same as a Saibaman's.
In less than a year, if you say your power level increased to about the same as mine, I might possibly believe it.
But your power level increase is way too absurd!
Also, is he trying to scare me?
Deliberately putting on a show?
What Super Saiyan—it's complete nonsense!
I, Vegeta, won't be intimidated by him!
"Hmph, you say this is a Super Saiyan? Stop joking!" Vegeta snorted coldly and threw a fierce punch at Goku.
Goku simply extended a single finger and easily caught Vegeta's incoming punch.
"Pop!"
Vegeta's fist landed squarely on Goku's finger.
And then... nothing happened.
"Do you believe me now?" Goku grinned.
Vegeta: "..."
"Tsk tsk tsk..." Vegeta almost cried.
How is he this strong?
He caught my full-powered strike with just one finger?
Vegeta quickly leaped backward, putting a safe distance between himself and Goku.
"Damn it! Do you think I'll lose to you?" Vegeta fumed inwardly and looked up at the sky, searching everywhere for the moon.
"What are you looking for? The full moon?" Goku smiled. "I see—you want to transform into a Great Ape to fight me!"
"You..." Vegeta felt endless sorrow as he scanned the sky, only to discover the moon was gone. "So you destroyed the moon?"
"That wasn't me... actually, I really want to know how to regrow my tail." Goku scratched his head.
"Hmph, how would I know how to regrow a tail?" Vegeta snorted, feeling his mindset was more balanced now, and smiled smugly. "As a Saiyan, not even having a tail—I truly pity you!"
"I really do want to regrow my tail as quickly as possible, otherwise I can't transform into that form." Goku rubbed his head and muttered to himself.
"Transform into what form?" Vegeta was startled and couldn't help asking.
"Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. Better you don't know." Goku grinned.
Vegeta felt his heart ache right then.
What do you mean I wouldn't understand? How would I know if you don't tell me?
This guy Kakarot is so infuriating!
Really hateful!
"However, you low-class warrior, do you think you can defeat me just by putting on this show?" Vegeta snorted coldly, took a deep breath, the corner of his mouth lifting in a slight smile as he raised his right hand upward.
"Pop!"
Accompanied by Vegeta's face contorting, a glowing sphere had already appeared in his hand.
"See what this is?" Vegeta smiled even more smugly.
"Looks familiar." Goku touched his chin, silently pondering.
"Hmph, did you think everything would be fine just by destroying the moon?" Vegeta shouted loudly.
"Vegeta, believe me, it really wasn't me." Goku looked completely innocent.
"Hmph, stop pretending!" Vegeta huffed. "Since you want to regrow your tail, let me tell you the secret of why we transform when we see the full moon."
"That's fine. Tell me—after all, so much time has passed, I've almost forgotten everything." Goku nodded.
Vegeta: "..."
What do you mean by that?
Whatever!
Anyway, this guy Kakarot seems a bit stupid to me.
"You know moonlight is the result of sunlight reflecting off the moon, right?" Vegeta snorted coldly. "When sunlight shines on the moon, it releases something called Blutz Waves. During a full moon, these waves can reach 17 million zenos! When our eyes absorb Blutz Waves above 17 million zenos, it reacts with our tail, and then the transformation begins!"
"Mm-hmm." Goku nodded like a good student listening to a lesson.
Vegeta: "..."
Vegeta almost didn't want to continue.
That serious look of yours is fake, right?
"Keep going, I'm listening." When Goku noticed Vegeta had stopped talking, he quickly urged him on.
Vegeta really felt his heart ache.
Why do I find this Kakarot so infuriating?
"What are they talking about?" Krillin was confused.
"Seems like they're talking about the Great Ape transformation." Piccolo said flatly, though cold sweat slid down his face.
"Great Ape transformation!" Krillin's expression changed repeatedly.
"Great Ape?" Yamcha also remembered the past and couldn't help shuddering.
"What are you talking about? What Great Ape?" Tien and Chiaotzu had never seen Goku transform into a Great Ape, so they couldn't imagine the terrifying oppressive feeling after transformation.
"Goku can transform into a Great Ape... he did it when he was little. It was terrifying." Krillin rubbed his hands together, his mouth twitching.
"He can transform into that?" Chiaotzu was astonished.
"Huh? Dad can transform into a Great Ape?" Gohan scratched his head.
Piccolo: "..."
Don't act all innocent!
You're talking as if you can't transform!
You're also terrifying when you turn into a Great Ape!
"But speaking of which... where's the moon?" Krillin looked up at the sky, feeling something was odd. "Why is the moon gone? No wonder the climate's been so strange lately!"
"Now that you mention it... it's true! The moon really is gone!" Yamcha put his hand to his forehead, looked up, and searched everywhere for the moon.
Piccolo didn't respond.
I'm not going to say the moon was destroyed by me!
But this guy Goku's strength has increased way too fast!
"Some planets in the universe have many moons around them. Regardless of size, only during a full moon can they emit Blutz Waves exceeding 17 million zenos." Vegeta continued explaining, and the light sphere in his hand radiated golden light as he laughed sinisterly. "However, only Saiyans can create an artificial full moon exceeding 17 million zenos! You just need to mix this planet's oxygen into this energy ball!"
"I see." Goku nodded thoughtfully, then muttered, "You still haven't told me how to regrow my tail!"
Vegeta: "..."
"Forget it, I'll just have to ask Old Kai." Goku scratched his head and muttered to himself.
