Age 737, Planet Vegeta.
"Waaah—! Waaah—!"
The piercing cry of an infant was like a sledgehammer, repeatedly striking the nerves of Luo Li, who had just fallen asleep after staying up all night playing games.
He waved his hand irritably, grumbling with a curse, "Damn it, whose brat is this... can't they control him?"
The moment he rubbed his eyes and opened them, the unfamiliar ceiling in his line of sight startled him.
Immediately after, Luo Li realized he was actually inside an oxygen chamber.
Holy crap, where did this thing come from?
Looking down, the sight of fleshy, tiny infant hands that hadn't even fully stretched out made his breathing stop abruptly.
W-What is the situation?!
The crying surged again, and the first thought exploded in the mind of Luo Li, a veteran of web novels—Rebirth?
He shook his head, finally seeing clearly where he was.
A nutrition pod the size of a crib, glowing with a cold light, looking like a small bed inside an inverted glass bottle.
"Do we really have to kill him?"
An unfamiliar male voice suddenly came from outside the pod, carrying a hint of hesitation.
Luo Li looked up sharply. Several men with black hair standing up like steel needles, wearing dark combat uniforms, had already surrounded the nutrition pod.
Luo Li's pupils contracted suddenly.
This attire, are they Saiyans from "Dragon Ball"?!
"There is no other way, this is the King's order."
Another Saiyan chimed in, his tone devoid of any warmth.
He looked at Broly inside the pod and sighed, "It's a pity. His battle power broke 10,000 at birth, and now, without any training, he has reached 70,000 at the age of three. If cultivated properly, he would definitely become Prince Vegeta's most capable right-hand man."
"Right-hand man? Bullshit!"
A person beside him sneered, his eyes full of disdain. "If Broly is really allowed to grow up, I'm afraid he will replace the Prince. By then, we Saiyans will have to change our King."
Broly?!
This name struck Luo Li's head like a thunderclap.
He shook all over. Is he that existence Vegeta called the "Legendary Super Saiyan"? That green-haired Saiyan, the sparkling version of a Super Saiyan?
"Enough."
The burliest middle-aged Saiyan in the crowd said in a deep voice, "It's the King's order, just do it."
Before his voice fell, the tall Saiyan raised his hand, and a blinding ball of golden energy condensed in his palm.
He stared at Broly inside the pod, his tone icy: "Don't blame me, this is the King's will."
Broly's mind went blank: Damn it, I'm going to die just after crossing over?!
At the juncture of life and death, the body reacted before the consciousness.
Subconsciously, he raised his palm, which was only the size of a ping-pong ball. A mass of dark green energy, thick as ink, suddenly exploded out. Carrying innate and untamed power, it slammed fiercely into the golden energy wave.
Boom—!
The two energies collided with a crash at the door of the nutrition pod.
Gold and green flames instantly swallowed the small space.
In less than half a second, the dark green energy wave pushed back with the force of a landslide. Under the stunned gaze of the three adult Saiyans, it completely engulfed their bodies. The aftershock blasted straight through the ceiling of the nursery, sending rubble mixed with dust crashing down like a rainstorm.
Boom—!
The loud noise shook the entire building, and the crying of the baby next door became heart-wrenching.
Broly crawled out of the hole blasted in the nutrition pod. He glanced at the baby lying in the pod next to him, crying until his face was red and his neck was thick. He couldn't help but open the lid and slap him.
Damn it, stop crying!
He looked down at the three Saiyan corpses on the ground, of which only half remained, and scratched his head fiercely.
This is big trouble.
As a shut-in, he had naturally watched Dragon Ball, but he couldn't remember the details clearly.
In the original work, Broly did indeed escape Planet Vegeta with his father, but as for exactly how they escaped, his mind was a mess of paste.
"What happened? Kakarot, are you okay?"
An urgent female voice suddenly sounded, and a petite woman wearing light combat armor rushed in.
Although she was wearing armor, she was small in stature and had no muscles; clearly, she was not the type good at fighting.
Seeing the mess in the nursery, Gine's expression froze instantly, her eyes full of confusion.
"Gine, what's wrong?"
Another man followed in. His face was almost exactly the same as the future Kakarot.
It was Bardock.
Gine snapped back to reality and rushed to her son's nutrition pod, picking up Kakarot, who had a large bump on his head and had fainted from fright.
She looked at the three corpses missing their upper bodies on the ground, then looked at Broly, who was staring at her with round eyes, completely bewildered: "This... what on earth happened?"
"Don't worry about it."
Bardock said in a deep voice, a hint of imperceptible vigilance hidden in his eyes. "In this situation, if anyone else sees this, that brat Kakarot will definitely be implicated. The plan is moved up; send him away."
He had long detected Frieza's killing intent towards the Saiyans. After his mission ended, he had discussed with Gine sending their youngest son away on a space pod.
Originally, he wanted to wait two days to choose a stable planet, but now it seemed there was no time.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Seeing the couple about to leave with Kakarot, Broly got anxious. Opening his mouth, he could only make infant babbling sounds, but in his heart, he was screaming frantically: It's fine to take him, but take me too!
Bardock looked back, his brow furrowing tighter. That face, identical to Kakarot's, was covered with a terrifying hostility at this moment. He said coldly, "This brat is too noisy, he will attract others. Dispose of him."
Me?! Broly cursed in his heart. Motherfucker, is this guy serious?
In a rage, he raised his hand, wanting to condense another energy wave and turn Bardock into 2.5 strips of Bardock as well.
"Don't scare the child."
Gine glared at her husband, reached out to scoop Broly into her arms, and walked quickly out the door. "This child was born on the same day as Kakarot; it's fate. Anyway, sending one is sending, sending two is also sending. Let's take him along."
Bardock didn't refute, following closely behind his wife, his eyes scanning the corridor vigilantly, afraid of being discovered.
Broly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it was different from the original work, at least he survived.
Soon, the two rushed to the spaceship area with two 3-year-old infants.
Seeing Gine about to stuff Broly and Kakarot into the same spherical space pod, Bardock suddenly spoke: "Send them separately. Send this kid to a different planet."
Gine was stunned: "Huh? Why? Isn't it good to have a companion?"
"Since when do Saiyans have the concept of 'companions'?"
Bardock rolled his eyes. "If they stay on the same planet, it would be good enough if they didn't kill each other."
Gine didn't argue further and placed Broly into another spaceship nearby.
Time was tight, so she could only casually set a random coordinate.
Two minutes later, two spherical spaceships slowly ascended, trailing fine trails of light as they pierced through the dark red sky of Planet Vegeta.
Gine cupped her hands around her mouth, looked up, and shouted, "Be well, Kakarot... and you, unknown little guy, grow up healthy too."
The next second, the two spaceships flew in completely different directions, disappearing into the cosmic dust.
Inside the spaceship, the naked Broly scratched his round belly, muttering in his heart.
Besides Earth and Namek, what other planets are there in the Dragon Ball world?
I can't remember clearly... "Dragon Ball Super" seems to have added a lot of settings, but I heard that after Son Goku and Frieza teamed up, I lost interest in watching.
Although forgiving enemies in anime is a basic operation, you two have such a huge grudge, yet you can actually forgive each other? Isn't that a bit exaggerated?
Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely kill the other party, let alone team up.
I just hope I don't fall into some hellhole with exploding power levels. Just let me develop steadily.
...
Sea Circle Calendar 1498.
East Blue, Loguetown.
"You want my treasure?"
On the execution platform, Roger's voice pierced through the rain curtain. "If you want it, I'll give it all to you. Go find it—! I left everything this world has to offer there."
"Execution! Execute him immediately!"
Sengoku's expression changed drastically, and he roared sternly, the veins on his forehead throbbing.
The executioners on both sides moved in response, and sharp spears fiercely pierced Roger's body.
However, in the next second, a cheer like a mountain tsunami erupted from under the execution platform, the sound waves almost overturning the entire Loguetown.
Sengoku clenched his fists tightly.
Far away in Mary Geoise, watching this scene through a visual Den Den Mushi, the Five Elders also crushed the teacups in their hands within the shadows.
Damn Roger, sure enough, he turned himself in for this!
In the crowd, Doflamingo licked the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of madness.
Mihawk stood with his hands behind his back, his hawk-like gaze cold as a knife.
Crocodile frowned as he looked at the platform, his expression dark and unclear.
Even Monkey D. Dragon stood deep in the crowd, his gaze heavy.
These people who would stir up the sea in the future all had their own thoughts at this moment.
Just then, Dragon suddenly looked up at the sky where the rain was pouring down, and cried out in a low voice, "What is that?"
Whoosh—! Whoosh—!
The sound of burning flames came from overhead, getting closer and closer, more and more intense.
The cheering crowd looked up one after another, only to see a meteor wrapped in raging flames, splitting the torrential rain, dragging a long tail of fire, and smashing straight toward Loguetown—
