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

Chapter 358 Vegeta's Pressure
In the dust.

"Cough cough cough..."

At the bottom of the pit, Raditz coughed up a mouthful of blood, scrambled to his feet, and the combat power detector on his face was still flashing incessantly.

[Warning! The target's combat strength is exhibiting drastic and abnormal fluctuations! 1500...1800...2400...continuously rising!]

"This is impossible!"

Raditz was both shocked and furious, and shouted angrily, "You still say you're not a Saiyan? How could a mere Earthling have such fighting power!"

It has now even risen to 3000.

This number is twice his!
"You're already so surprised after just warming up?"

Xia Nuo walked over step by step with an indifferent expression. "If you use even a little more force, it seems like you will die directly."

Swish!
His figure vanished in an instant!
"Damn it, where is it?!"

Raditz looked around in alarm, then suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and his hair stood on end.

A fist covered in pure black, domineering energy was hurtling toward his back!

"Drink!"

At the critical moment of life and death, Raditz roared ferociously, unleashing all his potential, and narrowly dodged to the side. At the same time, his right leg lashed out like a whip towards Shano's face!

Snapped!
Xia Nuo easily caught the incoming ankle and frowned, "Use a little more force, is it just a tickle? You can't even hit someone, and you call yourself a Saiyan?"

He then suddenly yanked it!
"Wow!"

Raditz was flung high into the air. Before he could even adjust his posture, Shano had already appeared above him, clasped his hands together in a fist, and delivered a powerful hammer blow!
He had basically never used this strange way of punching before.

But since we've arrived in the Dragon Ball world...

That's how we have to fight!

boom! ! !
The Raditz crashed back to the ground like a meteorite, shaking the entire plateau. Spiderweb-like cracks spread for hundreds of meters, and even the distant snow-capped mountains seemed to rumble.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood spurted from Raditz's mouth. He was barely breathing, and after struggling for a long time, he still couldn't stand up. He could only raise one hand with difficulty, pointing tremblingly at Shano:

"You...you bastard...who...who are you?!"

"Didn't I just introduce myself?"

Xia Nuo landed gracefully at the edge of the pit, his black cloak fluttering in the shockwave. "Just an Earthling. But if you're asking for my name..."

He raised his right foot, and jet-black Armament Haki enveloped it:

"Xia Nuo".

boom! ! !
The ground trembled violently again, and Raditz's body was completely pierced by the kick, leaving him unable to move.

"The...is it resolved?"

Sun Wukong, watching from afar, stared in disbelief at the scene, utterly shocked, and stammered.

But then, he couldn't help but grin, put his hands on his hips, and burst into laughter.

"What's so funny?" Bick asked, puzzled.

"It's a surprise, a super surprise!"

Sun Wukong chuckled and said, "These past few years, I thought I was already the strongest on Earth, and my motivation to cultivate had weakened considerably. Now I know that there are even more powerful beings on other planets, and even on Earth, there are such powerful beings. It's really exciting!"

His eyes gleamed, and he looked eagerly at Xia Nuo's retreating figure, clenching his fists.
"Hey! Mr. Xia Nuo! You've been a huge help, thank you so much! After this is all over, could you please have a spar with me?"

"Is this the time to say things like that, you idiot!"

Piccolo glared at Goku, then bowed apologetically to Shano.

Only then did he cautiously approach Shano's side, look at Raditz lying on the ground with a large hole pierced through his chest, and hesitantly asked:

"Lord Shano, is this guy really dead?"

"How hateful... How hateful!!!"

As if hearing his words, Raditz struggled to raise his head, his resentment surging as he said:

"I never thought I'd be defeated in a place like Earth. You two bastards are lucky to have managed to bring in such powerful reinforcements. Cough cough... But it doesn't matter. I have even stronger allies. They... they will avenge me!"

Shano then glanced at Piccolo and replied quietly:

"It seems not yet."

There's no way around it, that's just how Saiyans are; they're all incredibly durable.

Piccolo: "..."

"Hehehe, just you wait, just you wait..."

Raditz continued, "I've already sent everything here to my two companions on the other side of the universe. They'll be here in a year, at most a year."

The signal has been sent?

Bick's expression changed.

"By then, Earth will still be ours. As for you, Shano, right? Vegeta will probably be quite interested in you..."

Raditz turned his gaze to Shano, his voice growing increasingly strained and weaker as he spoke:
"A Saiyan with blood that has been lost to the world can train his power level to 3,000 on his own. If I could subdue you, you would be much more useful than that good-for-nothing Kakarot, cough cough...

"What a coincidence."

Xia Nuo's cold voice came through, "I'm also very interested in your two companions."

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? Stop dreaming."

Raditz paused, then forced a mocking laugh. "It's just...cough cough, just defeating me. It's nothing special. Prince Vegeta's strength is beyond the comprehension of you frogs in a well. In front of him, you...you have absolutely no chance of winning..."

thump.

The sound stopped abruptly, and Raditz's head lolled to the side, lifeless.

He's finally dead.

Shano crouched down to check, then took the combat power detector from Raditz's hand.

"Prince Vegeta?"

Piccolo gritted his teeth, his face grim. "Among those two more powerful Saiyan companions, is there another one, perhaps even their prince?"

They're clearly not in the same league!

"Waaaaah!"

Suddenly, a loud crying sound came from inside.

Piccolo and Shanos turned to look and saw that Goku had found Gohan trapped inside Raditz's spherical spaceship.

The little guy wasn't scared, but he had been worried that his father would be beaten to death, so as soon as he came out, he hugged Wukong tightly and cried loudly.

"Gohan!"

Sun Wukong checked Gohan with concern to see if he was injured, and only when he saw no obvious injuries did he feel relieved.

Bick then stepped forward and said in a deep voice:

"Wukong, this is a big problem. You heard what this guy said before he died, right? We only have a year to prepare at most."

At most one year.

Two Saiyans far more powerful than Raditz will descend upon Earth!
"Only one year?"

Sun Wukong scratched his head in frustration. "Ugh, this is really troublesome. Even if I train hard for a year, it will be difficult to surpass Raditz's level..."

"Yes."

Bick nodded, took a deep breath, and turned to look solemnly at Shano:

"Your Excellency, although I don't know why a powerful person like you would choose to live in seclusion in obscurity, the Earth is facing a great crisis and truly needs your strength!"

“That’s right!” Sun Wukong hurriedly added, “Mr. Xia Nuo, stop living in seclusion alone and cultivate with us!”

His eyes shone as he excitedly waved his fist. "If we join forces, we'll definitely become stronger, and then we'll defeat those invading Saiyans together!"

Xia Nuo did not answer immediately. Instead, while the two were talking, he opened his right palm, and black and red Conqueror's Haki condensed into a sphere, completely sealing the combat power detector inside.

"This is……"

Bick was taken aback.

"This thing can not only detect combat strength, but it is also a communication tool for those Saiyans to communicate with each other."

Xia Nuo stood up, smiled, and explained:
"To prevent those two guys from eavesdropping, I'll block it for now. Once we get back, we'll have someone repair and modify it so we can use it directly then."

That's it!
The two suddenly realized, and Goku laughed and punched his fist in the palm: "This is easy, my best friend Bulma is a very amazing scientist and inventor!"

Modifying such a small thing must be very easy for her, right?

Bick, sensing something, brightened up. "We're going back? Does Lord Shano mean he'd like to cultivate with us?"

"Ah, of course."

Xia Nuo glanced at the sky and smiled slightly, "After all, I'm also an Earthling."

This time, I was quite lucky.

The timing of his entry into this world was arguably the most opportune.

Dragon Ball Z has just begun, and it hasn't even touched Frieza, let alone the Androids or Majin Buu, who are too overpowered to be touched by later bosses.

A year later, Vegeta arrived.

If I remember correctly...

Vegeta's power level was already close to 20,000 when he first landed on Earth, right?

It's more than ten times that of Raditz!
The pressure on my shoulders suddenly increased, but I could barely manage it.

If I could defeat Vegeta one-on-one in this weakened Dragon Ball world...

When his year-long training period is over and he returns, he should have enough ability to face Im's true form!

"Okay!!"

Wukong cheered and celebrated, his smile as bright as sunshine, "That's wonderful!"

Bick raised an eyebrow and smiled.

In his opinion, none of Goku's friends were reliable. He and Goku alone were clearly not enough to face the approaching Vegeta.

But Xia Nuo is different!
With this mysterious and powerful figure joining the fray, Earth's future will hold much more hope.

Sun Wukong, who was standing to the side, noticed Piccolo's smile and couldn't help but pinch his chin and ponder for a moment.

strangeness……

He had sensed something was wrong before.

There's something strange about Piccolo after all this time...

It seems less evil than before?
Well, whatever, as long as it's a good thing.

"Hey, Wukong, how's the situation? Are you guys alright?"

Just then, a girl's anxious voice came from the sky.

"Oh? It's Bulma! Bulma came to pick us up in her flying car!"

Goku laughed and waved, "Don't worry, we're fine, Gohan's fine too. Everyone, come and meet Brother Shano! Thanks to him, that bad guy was finally taken care of!"

"Brother Xia Nuo?"

Another curious voice followed, "Goku, you call him big brother? He looks younger than you, but you can definitely feel a strong aura from him."

Hmm, that voice sounds so familiar...

Luffy?

Shano looked up in surprise, only to see a small bald head standing on tiptoe behind Bulma, peering out.

He couldn't help but chuckle.

Oh, it's Krillin.

…………

Meanwhile, in the distant depths of the universe, on a planet with a tropical rainforest landscape.

"Beep beep!"

A sudden alarm sounded.

"Ok?"

Vegeta, who was leaning against a tree trunk with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and looked at the signal coming from the detector.

"Latitz is dead?"

Naba, who was also examining his detector, raised an eyebrow in surprise. "There are actually people on Earth who can kill him?"

"Hmph, a piece of trash."

Vegeta sneered, "But that's normal, considering the data the detectors sent back showed that the guy who killed him had a power level of over 3000."

"3000?!"

Naba was taken aback. "This mere Earth has a warrior of this caliber? Is it Kakarot?"

"Kakarot? That kind of low-class warrior who was eliminated doesn't have that ability."

Vegeta stood up and casually twisted his neck. "You'll understand if you look down. Besides Kakarot, there's another Saiyan on Earth named Shano. That's the guy who killed Raditz."

"Xia Nuo?"

Nappa paused for a moment, scratching his bald head. "That's a strange name. Vegeta, do you know this guy?"

Anyway, he didn't remember such a person, and the name didn't fit their Saiyan naming habits at all.

"I don't remember either."

Vegeta said coldly, "But it's not surprising. Although our Saiyan race was destroyed long ago, there are always a few lucky ones like you and me who escaped. This guy should be another Saiyan bloodline who was stranded outside. His power level detector was 3000 and it was still rising. His real strength is probably comparable to yours, Nappa."

"What? I don't like hearing that."

Naba was a little annoyed. "How much more can it rise? My combat power is a full 4000. Defeating him is a piece of cake!"

"That doesn't matter. Anyway, once we get to Earth, this guy will be yours. Remember to hold back a bit, don't kill him all at once."

"what?"

Nappa stared in astonishment at Vegeta walking towards the spaceship. "You mean...?"

"What else could it mean? Stop standing there, Naba, let's go now, let's set off for Earth!"

Vegeta stepped into the cabin, a smirk playing on his lips. "Raditz begged me to avenge him. Hmph, that kind of trash is better off dead. Who wants to help him? But I'm quite interested in this Saiyan named Shano. I'm planning to recruit him as a subordinate."

That idiot Naba, what does he know?

There are very few Saiyans left. He is called a prince, but he is almost a lone commander. Judging from the images Raditz sent, this Shano looks to be less than twenty years old.

At this age, and alone in that dilapidated place on Earth, diligently cultivating, he actually has a combat power of over three thousand!

What does this mean?
While his current combat strength may seem inferior to Nappa's, his talent and future potential are far beyond Nappa's reach!

Their future combat power might even exceed 10,000!

A true man should live between heaven and earth; how can he remain subservient to others for long? He's had enough of the days when he had to be subservient to any Ginyu Force member and have to be careful what he said!
If we can subdue this Xia Nuo, we will have a powerful ally.

His ambitions and his plans might actually come true in the near future!
