"Goku is amazing! Goku is amazing!"
"Go, Goku! Defeat all those bad guys!"
Inside the cage, after seeing Goku take down more than ten space pirates, a group of young Shamiruxians cheered for her loudly.
"Hey, you bad guys, do you still want to fight me?"
Goku scanned her surroundings, while the space pirates retreated in fear.
These space pirates were ruthless and savage. They had destroyed several lower-tier planets and captured slaves. But now, they were terrified by a little girl who appeared out of nowhere.
If word got out, it would be a huge disgrace to them. However, none of them dared to make a move.
Who knew how strong this monster of a girl was? They valued their lives far too much to rush in and die for nothing.
The standoff lasted for a moment, but then—
"Interesting. I've heard of races that can increase their power during battle. I didn't expect one to actually exist."
A tall, muscular man flew down from the spaceship. Seeing him, the space pirates on the ground became excited.
"The captain! The captain is here!"
"Great! Now we can finally deal with that little monster!"
"Of course! The captain is invincible!"
Clearly confident in their captain, the space pirates regained their morale and started cheering excitedly.
"Little girl, you don't seem to belong to this planet, Shamiru. Where are you from?"
The enormous pirate captain asked as he landed in front of Goku.
"I'm a Saiyan from Planet Vegeta."
Wary of the captain, Goku responded. She had heard from Yuujin about their origins and knew both of them were Saiyans from Planet Vegeta, which had been destroyed by an evil tyrant named Frieza.
"A Saiyan? The legendary warrior race?"
Hearing Goku's reply, the pirate captain looked surprised.
"And so what if I am?"
"Hahaha! No wonder my men couldn't defeat you. So that's why!"
"I heard Planet Vegeta was destroyed over a decade ago. I didn't expect any Saiyans to have survived!"
The pirate captain laughed heartily, his eyes gleaming. It seemed he felt he had struck gold this time.
"Hey, little Saiyan girl, why don't you join me and become my subordinate?"
"Whether it's treasure or slaves, I can give you anything you want."
The captain offered, trying to recruit Goku.
"I don't want to be your subordinate! Let my friends go, or I'll beat you up!"
Goku replied seriously, unmoved by his offer.
"Beat me up?"
"Hahahahahaha!!!!"
The pirate captain laughed as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke. Then his expression turned cold.
"If you were an adult Saiyan, I might be worried. But you're just a little girl. Do you really think you're strong just because you beat a few of my useless men?"
"Fine, if you won't listen, I'll catch you myself."
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. You're one of the last Saiyans. If you can't be my tool, I can sell you for a good price."
The pirate captain smirked cruelly, already treating Goku as his prey.
"You're stronger than the others, so I'll use all my power to defeat you!"
Unafraid, Goku declared.
"Then go ahead and show me your full power. Entertain me. Let me see the strength of the legendary Saiyan race."
The captain's grin widened.
"Ha!!!"
Without wasting words, Goku released her suppressed energy, and a massive aura flared up around her. The scouters on the space pirates' foreheads started flashing wildly—
"50…100…200…500…1000…"
"1…1500!!!"
In just a few seconds, Goku's power level shot up from 50 to 1500, a thirtyfold increase!
The space pirates were dumbfounded, their jaws nearly hitting the floor. Even the pirate captain's eyes twitched. It wasn't until Goku's power stabilized at 1500 that he finally let out a sigh of relief.
Damn it, this little Saiyan girl had actually scared him for a moment.
But if that was her limit, he could still handle it.
"Little girl, is this really your limit?"
"As expected of a Saiyan. Even among my crew, this power would rank high. But to defeat me? It's far from enough. My power level is—"
"3000!!!"
With a surge of energy, the pirate captain unleashed a power level twice that of Goku's!
"Captain! Captain!!!"
"Captain! Captain!!!"
The space pirates cheered loudly. In their eyes, their captain's power, double that of the Saiyan girl, made his victory a sure thing.
The pirate captain basked in his crew's cheers, arrogantly beckoning Goku with his hand.
"Come on, little girl, if you still have the courage to fight me."
"Then I'll begin!"
Without hesitation, Goku shot towards the captain like a cannonball.
He sneered, unimpressed. In his mind, the attack was childish and simple.
But just as he was about to block her strike, Goku suddenly vanished from his sight, reappearing instantly behind him—
"Ha!!!"
With a sharp cry, Goku's kick landed squarely on the captain's head.
His massive body was sent flying, crashing into a huge boulder dozens of meters away.
"Cap-Captain…"
The atmosphere turned deathly quiet. The Shamiruxians were in disbelief, and the space pirates' mouths hung open.
The Saiyan girl with a power level of only 1500 had just kicked away their captain, whose power level was 3000. It didn't make sense! This wasn't possible!!!
