"A piece of trash with only five Battle Power!" Seeing that the scouter showed the newcomer only had five Battle Power, Raditz immediately sneered with disdain. As his mocking words fell, Raditz even reached out to grab this clone of Rhode.
"Hmm!" Seeing the self-confident Raditz and hearing his classic line, Rhode was speechless. He had thought that the Raditz in front of him looked a bit different from the original timeline, perhaps acting differently, but his personality still had similarities. Amidst his speechlessness, seeing that Raditz's attack held no killing intent, likely intending to capture him and ask questions, Rhode didn't strike hard.
Rhode wore a smile, and then a hint of Ki flowed from his eyes.
Bang! The next moment, before Raditz could even get close to Rhode, he was sent flying backward, slamming heavily into a distant hill, sustaining minor injuries. Although Rhode's clone was far inferior to his main body, because he was strong enough now, even a casual clone was not something Raditz, whose Battle Power had just exceeded the threshold, could compare to. Not to mention Raditz, even Bardock, whose Battle Power was over sixty thousand at this time, couldn't withstand a single finger from Rhode's clone.
"Raditz!" At this moment, seeing Raditz crash into the distant hill without Rhode's body making any movement, Gine's heart tightened, and she cried out in alarm. Gine was worried about Raditz's safety, while Bardock, though solemn, had eyes filled with surprise.
Bardock had noticed the tail behind Rhode at first glance, guessing that this person should also be a Saiyan. However, even though they might be fellow Saiyans, Bardock felt no joy or relaxation at seeing one of his own; instead, he became even more vigilant. After all, Bardock, having truly grown up among the Saiyan race, knew very well what kind of temperament Saiyans possessed. Even if the Saiyan in front of him directly killed them, Bardock wouldn't be surprised in the slightest. However, the person in front of him was unexpectedly powerful! Therefore, at this moment, Bardock stood ready, cautiously prepared for the opponent to make a move at any time.
"Hmph!" Sensing the hostility emanating from Bardock, Rhode narrowed his eyes, and his gaze sharpened.
Boom! The next moment, Rhode's power emanated, enveloping Bardock.
Crack! In an instant, cracking sounds came from Bardock's body.
"Pfft!" Immediately after, Bardock, unable to withstand the pressure from Rhode's clone, instantly spat blood and was severely injured, his face turning deathly pale.
"Bardock!" Bardock had just spat blood and was severely injured, followed immediately by Raditz. At this moment, Gine's expression was filled with anxiety and anger. The next moment, she suddenly attacked Rhode.
Bang! However, before Gine could even get close to Rhode, she was blocked by the Ki he emitted. Thus, she couldn't even approach, let alone attack.
Looking at Gine in front of him, and then at the severely injured Bardock and Raditz, although she was a woman and Goku's mother, Rhode felt that he couldn't show favoritism. Therefore, as the thought arose, he also severely injured Gine.
Instantly severely injuring the three of them was Rhode's way of giving them a warning, making them understand the disparity in power between them. After all, Gine, Bardock, and Raditz, who they raised, although much gentler than ordinary Saiyans, were still different from Goku, who grew up on Earth from a young age, and Aira, who had lived on Earth for many years and changed a lot. Therefore, Rhode had to give them a warning first.
Recovery Technique! After successively severely injuring the three of them, Rhode then used the Recovery Technique on them, restoring them to perfect condition.
"This..." Feeling their severely injured bodies instantly become perfectly fine, Bardock, Raditz, and Gine were all filled with shock.
"You..." However, besides their shock, the three of them were also full of doubt, completely unable to understand what this person in front of them truly wanted to do.
"No need to be shocked, and no need to be confused." Facing their bewildered expressions, Rhode spoke calmly, "I attacked you to make you understand that you have no right to cause trouble on Earth!" As he spoke, Rhode's gaze was sharp, especially when he looked at Bardock, this sharpness became even more piercing.
After all, when that guy had previously guessed that Goku might have died, he had some not-so-friendly thoughts. Although understandable, it could not be allowed.
"As for helping you recover, it's because you haven't done anything detrimental to Earth for now." At this point, a gentle smile appeared on Rhode's calm face. "I know the purpose of your coming to Earth. Kakarot is doing very well now, and his power is also barely acceptable. The strongest person you detected earlier was Kakarot!"
After appearing here, Rhode had used mind-reading on the three of them, so he had a general understanding of their experiences and knew what had happened between the three of them earlier. In fact, when he sensed the three of them coming to Earth in a spaceship earlier, Rhode was somewhat surprised.
Rhode wasn't too surprised that Gine was alive; after all, some Saiyans did escape when Planet Vegeta was destroyed, and it wasn't impossible for Gine to be among them. But he was a bit surprised by Bardock's resurrection. However, after learning about the two-star dragon ball through mind-reading, he was relieved. After all, Monette and Granola had survived because of Bardock.
However, since Bardock was resurrected, he must have met Monette and Granola, and even resolved their misunderstanding. In that case, Granola shouldn't cause any more trouble, right? No, there's still the Heeters organization. Forget it, it doesn't matter. Even if they continue to cause trouble, he will intervene then.
As for Raditz, he hadn't seen him when he was looking for Vegeta earlier. It turned out he had been taken away by his parents, which was beyond Rhode's expectation. However, since Bardock and Gine were alive, it wasn't strange for them to take Raditz away.
"Kakarot is still alive?" At this moment, hearing Rhode's words, Gine's face immediately showed joy.
"The one with a Battle Power of fifty-three thousand is Kakarot?!" However, compared to Gine's happiness, what Bardock and Raditz cared about most was that Kakarot was actually the strongest person they had detected.
