"Kakarot, how does it feel to fight the legendary Super Saiyan Broly?" Karnel asked with an amused smile, watching Goku recover his full health after eating the Senzu Bean.
Goku patted his chest and winced slightly at the memory. "That guy is incredibly strong. Even with Kaio-ken times ten, I couldn't match him." He paused, analyzing the fight with his characteristic battle-focused mind. "But he doesn't seem to have any real fighting technique, just pure brute force. If I had his raw power, I could definitely defeat him."
Standing up and brushing dust from his gi, Goku turned to Karnel with curious eyes. "Super Saiyan? Is that what you called Broly? He looks so different from us regular Saiyans."
"Of course there's a big difference," Karnel replied, glancing toward where Broly was currently pummeling the massive Great Ape Vegeta. His expression grew thoughtful. "He's the legendary Super Saiyan of our race, a transformation that can increase your strength by one-hundred and fifty times. No side effects except energy consumption." He smirked. "Aren't you envious?"
Goku's eyes widened with excitement. "One-hundred times stronger? That's incredible! Is this the technique you mentioned that's better than Kaio-ken?" His voice carried that familiar eager tone that appeared whenever he discovered a new way to grow stronger. "How can I become a Super Saiyan like Broly?"
Karnel's expression grew more serious as he watched Broly's increasingly erratic movements. "Broly was born as the legendary Super Saiyan. This particular type is terrifying, his body becomes as hard as steel, he feels no pain, and his strength continues growing every moment. The problem is, this kind of transformation can't be learned through training."
Disappointment flickered across Goku's face, but Karnel wasn't finished.
"Don't be too disappointed, though. His transformation has a massive flaw." Karnel's voice carried a note of genuine concern. "He can't control the power that keeps surging through his body. Look at him now, he's already at the edge of madness and will soon lose his mind completely, becoming nothing more than a beast that only knows destruction."
The watching warriors, Krillin, Piccolo, Master Roshi, and Yamcha, listened with growing amazement and horror.
"However," Karnel continued, "if you can reach the same power level as that Great Ape Vegeta has now, you can use intense anger to transform into a Super Saiyan. That's the authentic racial transformation technique, and it has no harmful side effects."
"Goku, you can become that powerful in the future?" Yamcha exclaimed, his voice mixing admiration with envy. "I'm really jealous."
Piccolo gritted his teeth, his pride as a warrior stinging. "As a Saiyan, Son Goku can reach such heights in the future. Will I, with all my fighting genius, only be able to follow behind and eat dust?"
"Hehe, that's still a long way off," Goku said with his characteristic modesty, though his eyes gleamed with anticipation. "That Great Ape is more than ten times stronger than Vegeta was before his transformation. I can't reach that level anytime soon."
His gaze shifted to the distance where Vegeta's massive form was being systematically destroyed by Broly's relentless assault.
Karnel fell silent, turning his attention to the increasingly one-sided battle.
In the short time they had been talking, Vegeta had taken a severe beating. His enormous body bore multiple serious injuries, his movements had become sluggish, and his strength was visibly declining with each passing moment.
Broly seemed to have grown tired of toying with the Great Ape. With a casual but devastating kick, he sent Vegeta's massive form crashing to the ground, creating a deep crater as rocks and soil exploded in all directions.
"Die!" Broly roared, his emerald energy ball crackling with terrifying power as it plummeted toward Vegeta's prone form.
"Damn it all!" Vegeta's bloodied mouth opened in a defiant roar, his massive body struggling to rise from the debris. But it was too late, the energy sphere was already bearing down on him.
Watching the inevitable impact, Karnel turned to Goku with casual indifference. "Vegeta's about to die, Kakarot, go save him, he's your rival, after all."
With that observation, Karnel leisurely reclined against a tree trunk, plucking a blade of grass to chew on as if he were settling in for a pleasant afternoon nap.
"What? Karnel, you're not going to do anything?" Goku's mouth fell open as he pointed at his seemingly unconcerned companion. "I can't beat that Super Saiyan!"
Karnel's smile held a hint of mischief. "It's only logical for you to save him. I won't interfere, I've already given him plenty of help before."
BOOM!
The energy ball struck Vegeta's massive body with devastating force. Blinding green light erupted from the impact point, accompanied by a thunderous explosion that shook the entire battlefield. Vegeta's form disappeared completely within the brilliant emerald waves, his fate unknown.
"KAKAROT!"
Broly's sanity finally snapped completely. His roar echoed across the landscape as his towering form generated a whirlwind of destructive force, sending debris flying in all directions as he charged toward Goku's group.
"I'll handle Broly," Karnel said, the grass blade shooting from his mouth like a projectile. "Whether you save Vegeta or not is up to you."
In a flash, Karnel intercepted Broly's charge, his kick connecting with the legendary Super Saiyan's muscular chest with a sound like a massive drum being struck.
Broly shot into the sky like a rocket, but Karnel followed instantly, his fist connecting with Broly's arm in a blur of motion.
To Karnel, it felt like he was hitting an enormous punching bag. The legendary Super Saiyan, despite his fearsome reputation, seemed helpless against this assault, his body bouncing back and forth across hundreds of meters without even a chance to retaliate.
"KAKAROT!"
Broly's bloodthirsty roar echoed across the battlefield as his aura suddenly intensified, his power increasing yet again in response to his mounting rage and frustration.
