I saw the the next dialogue in the comic strip.
I would like to know the meaning of the next sentence.
He can take you, too!

Father: Don't tell me you"ve been fighting with you friend again?
Son: Yeah.
Father: The next time he picks on you, get me!
Son: That won't do any good, Pop. - He can take you, too!

This is a specific idiom. In this case "to take someone" means to defeat them, specifically to defeat someone in a fist fight.
