Vegeta had mixed feelings about Gohan.
On one hand, he wanted Gohan to be stronger than him.
On the other, he wanted Gohan to remain weaker.
Deep down, Vegeta believed that among everyone present, including Tarble, Gohan possessed the greatest talent and potential.
It was just a shame that he had allowed that incredible potential to go to waste.
Still, Vegeta understood that everyone had the right to choose their own path in life.
He simply felt it was unfortunate to see such extraordinary talent left unused.
Gohan hadn’t expected Vegeta to ask him to fight.
He blinked in surprise.
“Me?
You want me to handle them?”
“Gohan, Vegeta’s right,” Piccolo said.
“Go.
If you don’t start fighting again, your body will get rusty.”
“You haven’t trained seriously for years.”
“You’re nowhere near as strong as you were when you fought Majin Buu.”
Hearing that, Gohan no longer hesitated.
“Alright.
I’ll take care of them.”
Across from them, Abo and Cado burst into laughter.
“Hahaha!
Cado, did you hear that?
These people with Power Levels of only around 50,000 actually think they can defeat us!”
“Hahaha!”
“That’s hilarious!”
“Hahaha!
Brother, these fools probably have no idea how strong we really are.
That’s why they’re saying such ridiculous things.”
“Then let’s kill them slowly and have some fun.”
“Cado, good idea.”
“You go first, or should I?”
“You go ahead.”
“Then I’ll have a little fun first.”
After deciding the order, Abo stepped forward and pointed at Gohan.
“Hey, you.
Bring a few more people with you.
Otherwise, this won’t be any fun.”
Gohan sneered as if he were looking at an idiot.
“There’s no need.
I’m enough.”
“I’d advise you to bring your brother with you as well.”
“Otherwise, neither of you will survive even one attack.”
As he finished speaking, Gohan released only a tiny fraction of his aura, roughly equivalent to a Power Level of 50,000.
Abo stared for a moment before bursting into laughter.
“Hahaha!
Cado, did you hear that?”
“He actually said I couldn’t survive a single attack!”
“Hahaha!
“That’s priceless!
Is he trying to make me laugh to death?”
The two brothers laughed uncontrollably.
“Hahaha!”
Seeing their reaction, Gohan looked at them with pity.
How pathetic.
They couldn’t even judge the true strength of their opponent, yet they still acted so arrogantly.
“A Power Level of 50,000?”
“Then watch carefully and see what my true Power Level really is.”
“Haaah!”
In an instant, Gohan’s aura erupted.
Seeing that, Tarble immediately shouted to Licks.
“Licks, turn off your scouter!”
As he spoke, Tarble had already switched off his own scouter.
Licks hesitated for a brief moment, making him just a little too slow.
Boom!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The instant Gohan unleashed his true aura, three explosions echoed across the battlefield.
The scouters had exceeded their limits.
“What?!”
Licks, Abo, and Cado cried out simultaneously, their faces filled with disbelief.
In that brief instant, they had all seen the readings surpass 10 million before their scouters exploded.
Abo and Cado were completely stunned.
They couldn’t believe that someone could control his Power Level so perfectly.
When they had first heard rumors about fighters suppressing their Power Levels, they had dismissed them outright.
They never imagined they would witness it with their own eyes.
After the shock faded, both of their expressions turned grim.
The brothers exchanged a glance.
Without saying another word, they silently reached the same conclusion.
It was time to use their trump card.
Even so, they still foolishly tried to recruit Gohan.
“Hmph, kid.
You’re pretty impressive.”
“How about working for us?”
“When we conquer the universe, you’ll become the third ruler beneath the two of us.”
“What do you say?”
Gohan laughed coldly.
“With my strength, do you really think I’d become your subordinate?”
“Stop wasting time.”
“If you’ve got any other tricks, use them.”
“Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance.”
Behind him, Piccolo, Vegeta, and the others frowned.
They were enemies.
Why keep giving them opportunities?
It was far too merciful.
Seeing that Gohan had no interest whatsoever, Abo and Cado abandoned the idea of recruiting him.
The two immediately stood back-to-back before lowering into identical stances.
Turning toward Gohan at the same time, they extended their arms in perfect synchronization.
“Red-Blue Fusion!”
The instant they shouted those words, purple lightning crackled around their bodies.
Boom!
A massive pillar of purple energy engulfed them and shot into the sky.
Three seconds later, the energy dispersed.
Abo and Cado had vanished.
Standing in their place was a massive purple monster covered in spikes along its chin and forearms.
“What?!”
Everyone present except Tarble stared in shock.
At the same moment, new information appeared before Tarble’s eyes.
Target: Gohan
Race: Half-Saiyan
Power Level: 20,000,000,000
Target: Abo-Cado
Race: Buff Clan Fusion
Power Level: 15,000,000,000
“So Gohan’s base Power Level is only 20 billion.”
“He really has slacked off.”
“Still, Abo-Cado’s fusion boosted his strength tremendously.”
“But even with 15 billion, he’s still no match for Gohan in his base form.”
After silently evaluating them, Tarble glanced toward Vegeta.
Target: Vegeta
Race: Saiyan
Power Level: 90,000,000,000
“Not bad.”
“Vegeta’s base Power Level is far beyond Gohan’s.”
“It looks like he never stopped training after the battle with Majin Buu.”
Before Tarble could continue checking everyone else’s Power Levels, Abo-Cado’s mocking voice interrupted his thoughts.
“What’s wrong, kid?
Scared?”
“It’s too late to be scared.”
“I, Abo-Cado, am going to torture you until you die.”
“Take this!”
The instant the words left his mouth, Tarble turned his head.
Abo-Cado had already disappeared.
Bang!
His enormous fist appeared directly in front of Gohan.
The battle had begun.
Gohan casually raised one hand and effortlessly blocked the punch.
The force of the attack merely stirred his hair.
He didn’t move even a single step.
Abo-Cado’s expression instantly changed.
“What?!”
Although that hadn’t been his full strength, it was still an attack that should have crushed someone with a Power Level of only around 10 million.
Yet Gohan had blocked it as effortlessly as if he were stopping a child.
