One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 361 His combat strength is... a young master?!

Don't rush to conclusions.

Vegeta glanced at Nappa. "The power level detector can only display surface values. Don't forget Raditz's lesson. It seems there are ways to help them conceal their presence here on Earth."

He narrowed his eyes slightly:

"We'll find out soon enough. If that's all they're capable of, humph, I wouldn't mind sending that guy to keep Raditz company."

He wants geniuses, not good-for-nothings.

If the other party's talent is indeed limited and they are not up to the task.

Someone has to bear the brunt of Vegeta's anger at having wasted a year of his time making this trip to Earth.

"Haha, Vegeta, I bet you're destined to be disappointed!"

Naba grinned and laughed, "By the way, before you vent your anger, can I also give that kid a good beating? I've been cooped up in the spaceship for a year, and my hands are itching to get rid of them!"

"what ever."

Vegeta casually replied, then suddenly looked up:

"Someone is coming."

"Ok?"

Naba was taken aback, only then noticing that four figures had appeared on the distant horizon at some point.

Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
The four landed simultaneously, surrounding the two of them.

It was Krillin, Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, and Gyoza.

The four people reacted in unison.

They all glanced at the tall and imposing Nappa first, then ignored him a second later, passing him and cautiously fixing their gazes on Vegeta.

"This guy."

Tien Shinhan spoke in a deep voice, "Such strong will."

"Yes."

Krillin narrowed his eyes as well. "That bald guy is fine, but this guy is really troublesome. He's probably the Saiyan prince Raditz was talking about. He's much stronger than we expected."

"Hey! You bunch of bastards!"

Veins bulged on Naba's forehead as he roared, "How dare you ignore me! What do you mean that bald guy is nothing? Watch how I crush you worms!"

He suddenly unleashed a powerful burst of energy, his muscles bulged, and the ground cracked beneath his feet.

However, Krillin and the others still ignored him, staring intently at Vegeta without moving.

"Hey, Vegeta!"

Naba laughed in anger, turning his head and saying, "Don't make a move yet, let me teach these arrogant bastards a lesson first!"

"Suit yourself. I have no interest in these guys."

Vegeta glanced at the combat power detector and said calmly.

The combat power displayed by these four people was not very good. The highest was the guy with three eyes, who only had 1830 points.

It's really too easy to solve.

Even having Naba take action would be a waste of his talents.

"How about we use that one?"

Vegeta raised an eyebrow. "Nappa, you happen to have the culture medium with you, so let the vegetable people come out and get some fresh air."

Vegetable Man?
Nappa slapped his forehead and laughed heartily: "Hmph, well, you're quite the show-goer, Vegeta!"

He took out a bunch of seeds from his pocket, scattered them on the ground, and dripped nutrient solution onto each one.

"This kind of sandy soil is more suitable for the growth of vegetables and people. The survival rate might be surprisingly high."

Swish!
It seems to be to agree with what he said.

After the culture solution landed on the ground, the seeds quickly swelled and germinated.

In the blink of an eye, eight bizarre green creatures resembling dwarves appeared, roaring as they surrounded Klin and the others.

"Two for each person, is that alright?"

Yamcha assumed a fighting stance and asked in a low voice.

"A piece of cake."

Tien Shinhan said expressionlessly, "It's perfect to use these little guys to test the results of this year's training."

"on!"

At Krillin's command, the four attacked simultaneously!

boom!
Tien Shinhan dodged, his fists crackling with Armament Haki, and instantly pierced through the heads of the two vegetable-like figures!
Yamcha moved at high speed, dodging the attack from the two vegetable men, and at the same time, he swept his leg back, cutting his opponent in two at the waist;
Krillin unleashed a ki blast, splitting it into two that simultaneously engulfed the two vegetable-like figures in a perfect arc.
Dumpling didn't move its body at all; it just stretched out its hands and used its mind to forcefully squeeze the two vegetable figures into a paste!
Right in the middle of this electric light.

All eight vegetable-like figures were killed!

"ha?!!"

Naba stared wide-eyed, mouth agape, at the scene in disbelief.

These vegetable-like people each had a combat power of around 1200, similar to Raditz. Despite having a clear advantage in an eight-on-four situation, they were instantly killed.
"really."

Vegeta was also startled, but quickly calmed down and whispered, "We can't be too careless, Nappa! The probe is unreliable against these Earthlings!"

"Actually, it's quite reliable."

Krillin shrugged, turned to look at both sides, and said, "Hey everyone, let's unleash our full power! Armament Haki too, let's give these two Saiyans another shock, how about it?"

"it is good!"

Tien Shinhan and Yamcha exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously.

Dumpling quietly stepped back a little, making room for the three of them.

His Armament Haki training was so-so, but he was more interested in Observation Haki. After combining it with his superpowers, he can now easily predict the future several minutes in advance.

This left several other martial artists, who thought Observation Haki was not very useful, completely astonished.

Snapped!
After the three burly men firmly planted their feet in a horse stance, their muscles tensed in unison, and their previously restrained aura suddenly erupted.

boom! boom! boom!
A violent shockwave exploded from the three of them, causing their skin to gleam with a pure black metallic sheen. The ground cracked inch by inch from the impact, creating an incredibly oppressive atmosphere!
"Beep beep!"

Vegeta and Nappa's power level detectors simultaneously emitted piercing alarms, and the numbers displayed on the screens began to jump wildly:
[Klin: 1500 → 5200!]

[Tianjin Rice: 1830 → 6500!]

【Yamucha: 1200 → 4500! 】

"Hey! Something's wrong! Are you kidding me!"

Naba's expression changed drastically. "They're all at the level of five or six thousand? How is that possible?!"

Even the scarred guy who looks the weakest is taller than him?

How could one or two mere Earthlings have combat power exceeding that of his great-grandfather?!

"Now you know who the real scum is, right?"

Klin grinned, his dark fists clenching so tightly they cracked. He stomped the ground, his figure flashing like black lightning as he charged towards Naba.

"Take this! Rubber... Great Ape King Gun!"

This was the name Xia Nuo's older brother gave him when they were sparring. He didn't know why he was called that, but it sounded very imposing, and he liked it very much!
hum!
A blinding golden light condensed at the tip of the black fist, carrying a surge of energy, and shot out with a roar!
not good!

Feeling the terrifying impact, Naba's expression changed drastically as he raised his arms to block.

He was still knocked back and slid over a hundred meters by the blow. With a muffled groan, he struggled to his feet, but by then his arms were a bloody mess.

"asshole!"

Naba roared in fury, about to retaliate, when he discovered that Tien Shinhan and Yamcha had already flanked him from the left and right.

Krillin seized the opportunity, shouted loudly, and attacked simultaneously!

boom!
Three jet-black fists slammed into Naba's chest simultaneously, the combined impact of Armament Haki and Ki piercing right through his combat suit!

"Pfft!"

Blood gushed from his mouth, and Naba's robust body crashed heavily into the ground in the distance like a cannonball.

Wait until the smoke clears.

A huge crater appeared in the ground, and Naba lay there in the posture of Yamcha, unable to move, barely breathing.

"Naba!"

Vegeta frowned and called out, "Ah, sorry..."

Nappa struggled to lift his head. "I... I really can't stand up, Vegeta..."

Useless trash!
Vegeta's face darkened, and he raised his head, his cold gaze fixed on the three people in the sky.

"Hey, Saiyan Prince."

Klin flicked the blood off his fist and grinned, "Your companion doesn't seem to be very tough. Now, it's your turn."

"..."

Vegeta's gloomy expression suddenly vanished, replaced by a cold laugh.

"interesting."

He ripped off the combat capability detector, crushed it, cracked his neck, and a sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth. "It seems Earthlings are indeed much more interesting than I imagined... But—"

boom!
A violent shockwave suddenly erupted from Vegeta's body!
The ground collapsed instantly, and sand and dust swept outwards like a tsunami. His hair flew upwards, and his body was surrounded by dazzling golden light. His combat power began to rise at a terrifying speed!
"—You think this level is enough to challenge me... huh??"

Vegeta's snarling grin suddenly froze.

He noticed that the three people in front of him not only showed no fear, but were also waving and shouting something at him.

They weren't paying attention to themselves at all!

"Hey, you guys, what kind of tricks are you playing now!" Vegeta roared. Just a moment ago, you were treating me like I was facing a formidable enemy!
"Huh? This guy didn't even notice?"

Yamcha exclaimed in surprise.

"That's normal. These Saiyans seem to have no ability to sense ki unless they look at the power level detector."

Tianjin Rice sneered.

"Um, your name is Vegeta, right?"

Krillin shrugged at Vegeta. "We can't challenge you, of course, but there are plenty of people who can take care of you, little guy. Why don't you look behind you?"

Shorty... boy?

Vegeta was furious, his teeth practically grinding to powder, wishing he could punch the little bald guy into a bloody mist.

But this was not the time to investigate. He suddenly turned his head and looked behind him.

In the distance, two figures could be seen riding on clouds.

Two clouds appeared, one milky yellow, on which stood a black-haired youth wearing an orange martial arts uniform, grinning foolishly and waving in their direction.

On another pure white cloud stood a tall, slender young man draped in a black cloak, his face calm and his features stern.

"Oh? So it's you two who finally arrived..."

Vegeta narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the two. "Kakarot, and... Shano, who killed Raditz."

Whoosh!
Two clouds quickly approached, and the two slowly descended from the clouds. Goku waved with a grin: "Yo, Vegeta! You're finally here! I've been waiting for you for so long!"

Shano merely glanced at Vegeta indifferently.

His eyes were as calm as a still, deep pool, but it was precisely this calmness that caused Vegeta to feel a strange sense of unease when his gaze met Vegeta's.

This guy is weird, he has such a powerful aura!

"Naba!"

Vegeta could no longer remain calm and turned around, shouting, "Stop just lying there! Quickly check how strong these two guys really are!"

"Ahem... I understand..."

Inside the pit, Naba struggled to activate the combat strength detector. After a few beeps, his expression changed, and he read out the numbers on the screen with suspicion:
"Kakarot's fighting power is...wait, is that wrong...how can it be 16,000?"

"How many?!!"

Upon hearing this, Vegeta's pupils contracted sharply, and he turned abruptly to look at Goku: "Sixteen thousand? How is that possible!"

This number is even higher than that of King Vegeta back then!

Compared to him, a top genius among Saiyans, he was only two thousand points lower!

"Impossible! Impossible!"

He demanded incredulously, "This is far beyond what a lower-ranking warrior could achieve, Kakarot! What have you been through this past year?!"

"Hehe, it's just cultivation~"

Sun Wukong chuckled, then pointed to Xia Nuo beside him:

"But it's mainly thanks to Brother Xia Nuo! He taught me the super powerful Armament Haki and even took me to see the world... Ah, I'll keep that a secret from you. Anyway, being his sparring partner for a year, my speed of getting stronger is naturally super exaggerated!"

When the sparring partner's salary increased to almost the same level as mine?
Vegeta's face was horribly pale. He stared intently at Shano, his voice snarling through clenched teeth, "And what about this guy? What about his fighting power? Answer me! Nappa!"

"That rascal……"

Naba's hesitant voice came through, "Strange, it really is a broken machine, it's showing zero..."

零？
Vegeta jerked his head, his pupils fixed on the detector in Nappa's hand, and coldly barked:
"Are you kidding me! How could the detector show zero? Did you press the wrong button? Check it again!"

Kakarot's fighting power has reached 16,000!
But in front of this guy named Xia Nuo, he clearly acted like a subordinate, with the other party as his backbone.

Therefore, Shano's combat power must be higher than Kakarot's, how could it be zero!

"But, but..."

Naba frantically pressed buttons on the detector, cold sweat dripping down his bald head. "No matter how I reset it, this guy's value is always zero. Is the machine broken?"

"Brother Xia Nuo."

Krillin finally couldn't hold back anymore and burst into laughter. "Stop messing with these two idiots! Show us your fighting prowess, we're curious too!"

"Yes."

Yamcha chuckled and chimed in, "To be able to conceal yourself to zero is incredible. Although we know it's based on the principle of Qi concealment, this level... is just too exaggerated. We simply can't do that."

"Brother Xia Nuo?" Sun Wukong also turned his head, revealing an inquiring look.

"That's fine."

Feeling the gazes focused on her, Xia Nuo sighed and smiled slightly, "Then... I'll satisfy your curiosity a little."

"Nappa!" Vegeta shouted sharply, "Concentrate! This time, you must get it right!"

"Yes Yes!"

Naba gripped the detector tightly, large beads of sweat sliding down his forehead.

Xia Nuo slowly raised his right hand, and black and red lightning sprouted and expanded from his arm, swimming around his body like dragons and snakes.

At the same time, a terrifying, suffocating pressure suddenly descended!

"Beep beep!!!"

The detector emitted a piercing shriek, and the numbers on the screen began to jump wildly:
"[12000, 16000, 20000...]"

“No, how could this be…” Naba murmured, trembling, “This…this machine must be broken…”

"Stop talking nonsense, Naba, tell me, what is his combat power!"

"I don't know either, it's still ongoing..."

Snapped!
The next second, the detector suddenly exploded, billowing black smoke and scattering debris everywhere.

"This?" Nappa swallowed hard and turned to look at Vegeta.

Has the limit been exceeded?
Vegeta's gaze sharpened.

The detectors they were using, although they were old-model standard detectors from Frieza's army and hadn't been updated in over a year, still had a maximum power of around 22,000 if I remember correctly!

How could it explode...?

"Hehe, it seems your Saiyan equipment isn't very good either. Use this instead."

Krillin grinned mischievously, pulled a brand-new, silver-white detector from his pocket, and casually tossed it to Vegeta. "Here, a Bulma-made modified version, an upgrade based on Raditz's. Guaranteed to be durable and reliable."

Vegeta took it suspiciously and tried it on—

Drop drop!
The moment the detector was pointed at Shano, a piercing alarm sounded, and the numbers on the screen continued to skyrocket!

"25000...30000...50000..."

Three or four seconds later.

Finally, the image freezes!
The final displayed combat power value is...

"Eight...eighty thousand??!!!"

Vegeta screamed in alarm, his whole body trembling with fear!

He stared blankly up at Xia Nuo, who was walking slowly towards him with an indifferent expression, and immediately felt a chill of fear shoot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!
How can it be? !
How could this happen?!
