Chapter 119: Giant Ape Raditz, Behave Yourself
A massive black shadow slowly descended from midair—jet black all over, clad in protective gear, and with blood-red eyes. Who else could it be but Raditz in his Great Ape form?
"Tch… Looks like you were prepared!" Raditz's voice boomed thunderously.
He couldn't sense energy at all and simply assumed this group had anticipated his arrival.
Hearing that voice, Lin Qi looked at the Great Ape in surprise. "You can actually stay rational in that form?!"
"What's the big deal… You think I followed Lord Vegeta for nothing?" Raditz said with unmistakable pride.
"None of you are a match for me now, so you'd better just do as I say!"
Raditz's blood-red eyes locked tightly onto Lin Qi. "Tell me how to become a Super Saiyan—now!"
Goku, on the other hand, looked excited, his face flushed. "This guy… isn't he that man's pet from earlier? He's wearing the same armor!"
"You… really didn't know?" Tien looked at Goku in disbelief.
He'd seen footage of the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament and thought the Great Ape transformation was Goku's ultimate move!
Krillin let out a silent sigh, while Yamcha gave a helpless, bitter smile. They'd all suffered under a Great Ape before!
"I'm the strongest now… If you don't talk, I'll kill every last one of you!"
Raditz ignored those with low power levels and hovered arrogantly in midair, staring at Lin Qi. "This is your last chance!"
"I think you're being a little dumb," Lin Qi remarked, feeling like Raditz was dragging down the average Saiyan intelligence.
"We both have tails, and I've got higher power than you. If we transform into the same Great Ape form, I could still beat you bloody. What exactly are you proud of?"
"I know that…" Raditz bared his fangs and gave Lin Qi a ferocious glare. One massive hand lunged forward and grabbed Lin Qi in his grip.
With his other hand, the Great Ape pinched Lin Qi's tail between his thumb and forefinger. "As long as I rip your tail off…"
"Damn it…" Tien clenched his teeth in frustration. "What do we do?!"
"Same old move—go for the tail!" Yamcha glanced around. "Crap… I forgot to have Puar stay behind!"
"Blast that moon!" Master Roshi was already moving, cupping his hands at his waist to gather energy for a Kamehameha.
After all, they'd been through this before—they knew what to do.
Watching the Great Ape trying to yank off his tail, Lin Qi smirked coldly. "You really are asking for a beating!"
Lin Qi suddenly glared fiercely at the Great Ape. In the next instant, Raditz's hand loosened, and he was sent flying backwards, splitting the sea in two.
Boom!
Water surged into towering waves before crashing down as a torrential downpour. Lin Qi's figure vanished from his original spot, reappearing on the tip of the still-flying Great Ape's nose.
"Don't piss me off, or I'll really kill you. Be good. You want to know how to become a Super Saiyan, right?
"And don't you want to know how Planet Vegeta was actually destroyed? Don't you want to know who the Saiyans' true enemy is?"
The Great Ape didn't respond—he was completely stunned. Just a single glare and he'd been blown away? That was ridiculous…
Lin Qi watched coldly as the Great Ape crashed into the rocky mountain of a nearby island. He remained hovering in place, unmoved.
"Cough, cough…" Climbing out of the rubble, Raditz looked dazedly at Lin Qi. "Planet Vegeta…"
"Wasn't it destroyed by a meteor? Why are you bringing this up?"
"You fool. Do you know why I haven't killed you yet?" Lin Qi looked down on Raditz from above.
"Isn't it because our power levels are close?" Raditz replied, though cold sweat began sliding down his cheek. He looked up at Lin Qi. "What are you trying to say?"
"Planet Vegeta… was destroyed by Frieza," Lin Qi said flatly. He figured he was being clear enough. If Raditz still didn't get it, he might as well just kill him—it was too much effort to explain.
"Frieza… So he really was afraid of us Saiyans!" The Great Ape's time limit ran out, and Raditz slowly shrank back to normal.
Lin Qi raised an eyebrow. Maybe Raditz wasn't as stupid as he'd thought.
"If a meteor really was headed for Planet Vegeta, the Saiyans would've destroyed it long before it could hit the surface!"
Raditz clenched his fists, teeth grinding. "That bastard Frieza… Once we master the secret of Super Saiyans, we'll make him pay!"
"So then… what did you come to Earth for, exactly?" Lin Qi landed in front of Raditz.
"Also, how did you even find out that Kakarot was here on Earth?"
"The Galactic Patrol told me. Problem?" Raditz seemed much more obedient now that he understood Lin Qi's power.
"I just came to check on Kakarot's mission progress—and bring him back to join our team to fight Frieza together!"
"Heh…" Lin Qi thought of that guy Jaco. So this was all stirred up by that Ultraman wannabe?
"I'll tell you everything about Super Saiyans once Vegeta gets here. For now, just behave yourself," Lin Qi said as he soared into the sky.
"Come with me. Time for some proper training."
"…Alright!" Raditz finally complied. He followed Lin Qi through the air. What else could he do? He couldn't win—just like under Frieza's rule.
Might as well lie low!
"You really know how to become a Super Saiyan?"
"Stop babbling. There's a lot you don't know," Lin Qi didn't even bother looking back at him.
Now that he had Raditz under control, Lin Qi's plans went even more smoothly. He had Raditz use Saibamen to train Goku and the others.
Once the Saibamen were used up, Lin Qi took everyone to King Kai's for further training.
Thus, Raditz officially integrated into the Earth warriors and became a Saiyan living on Earth.
Following the original plot, after Lin Qi gave Chi-Chi a billion Zeni, little Gohan also joined their training.
Raditz even learned to sense and use ki!
All that remained was to wait for Vegeta's arrival, and Lin Qi didn't bother keeping an eye on Raditz anymore.
At King Kai's place, even if Raditz wanted to act out, he'd have to consider King Kai's 3,500 power level—and King Yemma's 4,000!
Raditz behaved himself, especially after seeing how fast his own power was growing.
So, under King Kai's guidance, Goku and the others continued their training—occasionally traveling through Snake Way to spar with the living souls in the Otherworld.
Meanwhile, Lin Qi returned from King Kai's place, casually carrying back another round of 80 takeout orders to the God of Destruction Realm.
