Just as John Doe was about to approach Raditz, Goku stopped him. "John, this is my brother after all. Can I fight him? Please!"
Goku hadn't fought in a long time, and his sparring with John Doe over the past year had been more like a lesson. Even though John Doe had been suppressing his fighting power, he was still being beaten by him. So now, he really wanted to fight someone other than John Doe, no matter who it was.
Raditz soon powered up, and was about to attack, but Goku stepped forward and said, "The person who's going to fight you later is me. This place is too small. Let's go to that big island over there and fight."
After saying this, Goku said to Gohan, "Gohan, take care of yourself and stay with these uncles. Dad's going to have a little fight with that guy."
Gohan nodded obediently and ran to John Doe's side. After all, John Doe had been visiting Goku's house frequently over the past year, and he and Gohan had become very familiar with each other. Gohan also trusted him a lot.
Goku took the lead and flew towards the distant island using the improved Flying Nimbus technique taught by John Doe. Not only did it consume less energy, but it was also extremely fast.
Raditz followed Goku, and behind him were John Doe, Krillin, and the others. Bulma was driving the plane, taking Master Roshi, Oolong, and the others who couldn't fly.
Goku landed on the big island first, followed by Raditz. The others landed on a nearby mountain not far away.
Goku made Raditz land in front of him. He said, "Hey, you said my fighting power was 100, so take a look now. See how much I have?"
After saying this, Goku started to power up slightly, but he was afraid that his true strength would scare off Raditz, so he only powered up a little. However, he didn't expect to exceed Raditz's power.
Raditz opened his detector and saw the value constantly rising, quickly breaking through 1000 and 1500, and finally showing that Goku's fighting power was 2013.
Raditz's originally confident expression suddenly changed from sunny to cloudy and then to overcast. Now, his face was as still as water.
Raditz asked with a gloomy expression, "So the special feature of Earthlings' martial arts is that they can freely adjust their fighting power?"
Goku didn't understand what Raditz meant, and he didn't care. Now, the thing Goku wanted to do the most was to have a good fight with Raditz.
"Let's fight first. We'll talk about other things after the fight." Goku took a fighting stance and attacked Raditz.
I don't know if this is a weakness of the Saiyans, but whether it was Goku, John Doe, or later Vegeta, when they knew their strength far exceeded that of their opponents, they liked to suppress their strength and fight with their opponents. They would only use their full strength to defeat their opponents after they had had enough fun.
Goku was like this at this time. He didn't immediately defeat Raditz, but instead adjusted his strength according to Raditz's strength and then fought with him. At least on the surface, he maintained a situation where their fighting power was equal.
Raditz saw that he and Goku had fought to a draw, and suddenly became angry. "Are you looking down on me? I need you to let me win."
So Raditz fought with all his might, even surpassing his own strength to attack Goku.
After all, Raditz had more than a decade of combat experience in the universe. Compared to Goku, who had only been on Earth, Raditz, who had been fighting in the universe all along, was indeed a little better than Goku when their strength was equal.
So in the beginning of the fight, Goku was completely suppressed by Raditz.
Gohan saw his father being bullied and couldn't help but feel a little worried. He asked John Doe, "Uncle John, can you help my dad? I don't want him to get hurt."
That tone, that look, made John Doe and the people around him feel like their hearts were melting.
John Doe quickly comforted him, "Gohan, don't worry. Your dad is just playing with that uncle. He's fine. Let's call your dad and have him defeat that bad guy, okay?"
Gohan's little eyes immediately widened in surprise and asked, "Really?"
John Doe said, "Of course. As long as you want, Gohan."
"Goku, Gohan wants you to defeat the enemy quickly. If you don't defeat him, I'll have to step in." John Doe shouted.
"That's not right. I haven't lost yet. How can you step in?" Goku heard John Doe's words and became anxious. He even showed a gap, and was hit and knocked over several mountains by Raditz.
Everyone immediately covered their faces. This was really embarrassing to watch.
Raditz was originally proud, thinking that he had defeated Son Goku, and his confidence soared. He turned to look at John Doe and the others and asked, "Who's next?"
Krillin had to remind him and pointed to his back, saying, "You haven't won yet!"
Raditz was shocked and turned around to look. Then he saw Goku walking out of the rubble, completely unharmed. He said, "You really can't underestimate any enemy!"
Goku shook his arms a few times, then took a fighting stance again and said, "Second round, officially begins."
Raditz looked at Goku, who was almost completely unharmed, and suddenly felt afraid. At this moment, he realised that he had just been a sparring partner for Goku, but in fact, he wasn't Goku's match.
So Raditz said directly, "Kakarot, we're brothers, right? There's really no need for us to fight to the death."
"Now, Planet Vegeta has been destroyed, and our parents died inside. I can say that I'm your only relative in this world, and those other two Saiyans are your only clan members. You don't want to fight to the death with your own relatives, do you?"
At this time, Raditz saw that he couldn't beat Goku, so he wanted to play the family card. Goku was a soft-hearted person, and after hearing Raditz say this, he felt embarrassed to teach him a lesson.
So he said, "Then you can leave. Earth doesn't welcome you. Let's pretend we never met. I won't go with you to massacre the residents of other planets, and I suggest you don't do that either."
"There are many experts in the universe, and your strength is really not enough to be invincible in the universe." In the end, Goku kindly advised him.
Because Goku had heard a lot about the strong people in the universe from John Doe, especially Frieza, who could transform three times and had a fourth form, with a fighting power of over a million, or even tens of millions. It was really not something Raditz, with a fighting power of only a few thousand, could provoke.
Unfortunately, Goku didn't know that Raditz's boss was Frieza, and he was even worried that Raditz's arrogance would provoke Frieza.
Raditz summoned the spaceship and got in. The spaceship slowly flew into the sky, and Raditz's arrogant voice came from inside, "Hmph, Kakarot, you're too naive. Today, your brother will teach you the last lesson, which is to not trust anyone."
"Wait until I bring the main force over, and I'll wipe out all of you Earthlings. You just wait to die." After saying this, he didn't wait for John Doe and the others to react, and he drove the spaceship away.
