** In the series, Cabba is simply a soldier from Sadala that was Vegeta's opponent during the Universe 6 saga. In the story, he is portrayed as a naive young man from a pretty mundane family trying to become a great soldier just like his childhood hero Frost, but with doubts about himself, and secretly liking romantic novels.

He then wondered if the reason he is [[AdaptedOut not included]] in ''Webcomic/DragonBallMultiverse'' is because of the evil Kakarot the author was using, only to say the series has more problems than [[Anime/DragonBallGT GT]] and [[Anime/DragonBallSuper Super]] combined.

[[caption-width-right:250:Cabba and the fruit of the Tree of Might]]

-> "''You're full of optimism, aren't you? But, I'll work really hard to get into the forces! I'll become an Elite Hero, just like Frost! I'll become the youngest Elite, too!"''
->-- '''Cabba'''


[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12797409/1/Sadala-Chronicles-The-Saiyan-and-the-devil-s-fruit "Sadala Chronicles: The Saiyan and the devil's fruit."]] [[note]] Previously known as ''I'll become an Elite Hero! The young Saiyan and the fruit! [[/note]] is an on-going fanfic published by [=TrueUtopian=] about Cabba, the Saiyan from Universe 6 and his origin on how he became an Elite member of the Sadala Army. Is a prequel to Anime/DragonBallSuper.

The story deals with a young Cabba and his quest to become an elite member of the Sadala Forces entering into the Lad Sarced Coliseum games, motivated by his greatest hero: the emperor of the universe, Frost. However, it also deals with a case of a disappeared planet and its people, with the only clue being a mysterious spiky fruit which grants great power.

The fanfic started to get published in January, 2018.

The author is not a native English-speaker, so don't be surprised to see any typo. He will thank you if you help him.

----
!!This work provides the following tropes:
* TheAce: Taura, a member of the Sadala Elite, and eight times champion of the Coliseum games. She also fought alongside Frost in many wars.
* AscendedExtra: Auta Magetta. The author admits to liking the steel giant.
* AlternateSelf: The story takes place in Universe 6, which is already a MirrorUniverse to the ''Dragon Ball'' universe, but the tale has a DistaffCounterpart to Turles named Taura, which Caulifla considers her aunt.
* AdaptationalBadass: The Tree of Might and its fruit get a complete change from its inspiration. In its movie debut and the many videogames, the fruit only grants its user a power boost. In the fic, not only it grants its users that, but also serves as a healing fruit to revive Cabba's pet dinosaur.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: There are some changes to the source.
** In the anime, Cabba seems to admire Frost, but it never stated he was inspired to be a hero because of him.
** In the anime, is implied Cabba and Caulifla met at one point but were never that close to begin with (And the manga outright has them both meet for the first time). In this tale, they are something of child rivals, with Caulifla constantly teasing him by calling a bamboo whinner and Cabba wanting her to acknowledge him.
** In both versions, Cabba and Auta Magetta are never implied to know each other as they never interact in neither the anime or manga. In this tale, Cabba and Magetta are friends after meeting in the Meteor Desert.
* CallForward: In chapter 6, after the doctor checks if Cabba is capable of entering into the Lad Sarced games, he comments on how Cabba has some "oddity" about his body. Is a subtle reference to the S-cells, as Cabba will become a Super Saiyan during ''Super''.
* CanonForeigner: Most of the characters created in this story don't exist in canon, or at best are based on vague commentaries (like Cabba's family).
* DeadGuyJunior: In chapter 5, Cabba discovers that his uncle who died in battle shared his name, which makes him guess he was named after him.
* EdibleThemeNaming:
** Following the tradition of Saiyans being named after vegetables, minor character Zanar comes from zanahoria (Carrot in Spanish), and Cabba's brother name is Suybe, from the same pun as Cabba in Japanese (Kyabetsu). Minor characters Zukni and Mato are named after tomato and zucchini [[CriticalResearchFailure because the author thought they were vegetables.]]
** The Saiyan members of the Lad Sarced games are named Cress (from watercress), Kora (from okra), the Celeric brothers (Celeriac) and Vidalia.
** Renso and Caulifla father's name is Esparra, from the Spanish word for asparagus (esparrago).
** The capital of Sadala, Lad Sarced, is an anagram of "caesar salad" (And a PunnyName too, due to being the home of the Coliseum).
* LateArrivalSpoiler: Averted. [[spoiler: The story treats Frost as a complete heroic individual, despite his true nature as evil in the series.]]
* HiddenDepths: Cabba's biggest secret is that he enjoys reading romantic novels, with his favorite one being ''Romance of the shooting stars'', about a young dorky man and a shy girl who is possessed by a demon. He doesn't talk about it with anyone.
* MythologyGag: Cabba's pet dinosaur is a reference to Icarus from ''Tree of Might'', and was named Toyble (Toyotaro's formet nickname) before they discovered it was a female.
* SmugSuper: Caulifla, who with only being 8 years old claims to be the strongest Saiyan in the universe and considers the emperor of the universe a "wimp". Likewise, she never calls Cabba by name, telling him she will only do so if he beats her in combat.
* ShoutOut:
** The tragedy of the fallen Emperor [[PunnyName Ise the Wise]] is Zanar's favorite subject, and also a reference to [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise.]]
** In chapter 7, part of Frost dialogue is him quoting [[Franchise/StarWars Senator Palpatine]] (Good!) and Jack of Blades from ''VideoGame/FableI''. [[spoiler: Not surprising, considering Frost's true nature.]]
* OCStandIn: The universe 6 fighters were minor characters in ''Dragon Ball Super'', but this fanfic takes the effort to explore more about them, and create motivations and a family.
** In the series, Cabba is simply a soldier from Sadala that was Vegeta's opponent during the Universe 6 saga. In the story, he is portrayed as a naive young man from a pretty mundane family trying to become a great soldier just like his childhood hero Frost, but with doubts about himself, and secretly liking romantic novels.
** Caulifla is portrayed as a SmugSuper punk, like in canon, but her family history and relationship with Renso is explored a bit more, with her being the daughter of a famous Coliseum champion.
** Magetta takes the cake: he is from a group of Metal Men brought to Sadala for construction purposes, but was decided to participate in the games after winning a contest of rock castles. His friendship with Cabba doesn't exist in canon.
* OriginalCharacter: Almost every character is created for this fic, including Taura who is meant to be seen as an DistaffCounterpart to Turles.
** Cabba's family has only been alluded in canon, but never explored. The author created a father, mother and small brother for him, alongside a pet dinosaur based on Icarus.
** Caulifla's and Renso's father, Esparra, who doesn't exist in canon at all.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Cabba, to everyone. The fact he is outclassed by Caulifla since they were kids saddens him.
--> ''While Cabba was able to participate, he couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless to hear such words. It was like all the time he invested into training for years were for naught, as he was going to be overshadowed by everyone else. Everyone would think of the eight times champion who worked directly with Frost, or the second place which fought alongside the Arlians in a war. Even a delinquent was better than him since they were toddlers. By contrast, he was just a kid, with no exceptional abilities except for some vague oddity or even a family name to hold into. He was normal, he was average, he was simply Cabba.''
* TournamentArc: The Lad Sarced games in the Coliseum are the central focus starting from chapter 7, where Cabba has to prove his worth entering alongside his master, Captain Renso.
* WholePlotReference: To ''Anime/DragonBallZTheTreeOfMight'', with the fruit of the Tree of Might being a plot-relevant deal. There is also a purple dinosaur, Cabba's pet.
* WouldntHitAGirl: Downplayed, Cabba tries to fight Caulifla, and manages to strike a punch in her face, but has trouble attacking her in general. Taura remarks that he needs to learn how to do so if he wants to be a soldier.
--> '''Taura:''' There is no shame in that!
* YouKeepUsingThatWord: Lampshaded with the author. He mistakenly called hovercars "spaceships" until the November rewrite, alongside other grammatical mistakes.
