"Kid, your Battle Power is impressive. You actually managed to knock my Energy Blast away. You're worth fighting."
Dodoria looked at Son Gohan, his expression turning serious. Anyone who could casually knock away his Energy Blast definitely had a high Battle Power.
"Fatso, try my Kamehameha too!"
Son Gohan wore a disdainful expression. Dodoria's Battle Power was probably around 22,000, so he didn't take him seriously at all.
He took up the stance for firing a blast, bringing his hands to his waist as a tremendous amount of energy gathered in his palms.
"Damn you! How dare you look down on me? I'll show you what I can do!"
Dodoria began gathering his strength too. He didn't believe a little kid like this could have much power inside him.
The kid had dared to face him in a beam struggle. He'd better be ready to die.
The two energy beams gathered in an instant, and they thrust them toward each other.
The two enormous Energy Waves collided, their dazzling light making it impossible to keep one's eyes open.
Rumble!
Sand and stones flew across the ground. The Kamehameha surged forward like a battering ram, instantly pushing Dodoria's Energy Wave back.
"Ahhh!"
The Energy Wave swallowed Dodoria. He barely had time to scream before the Kamehameha blasted him to pieces.
Even as he died, he couldn't understand how he'd ended up being killed by a little kid.
In the end, without his Scouter, he had no way of knowing the other person's Battle Power.
He'd thought this kid was about as strong as the bald one!
Collect!
All the Battle Power attributes on the ground gathered toward him. He watched the Battle Power on his Attribute Panel soar to 3.3 million.
Since leaving the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, his Battle Power had only risen by 300,000.
If Piccolo saw that his Battle Power had increased by 300,000 in just a month, he'd probably spit blood.
I worked my ass off for years to reach a Battle Power of only 1,000, and you're still complaining that it's too little? Why not just fly to the heavens, then?
As the blinding light faded, everyone stared in shock. The fatso had vanished, and a deep trench remained in the ground.
"Gohan, you're incredibly strong! Thank goodness you came with us to Planet Namek. Otherwise, we'd be done for."
Krillin grinned through the pain. He'd taken a punch from Dodoria, and his stomach still hurt every now and then.
Ah, I'm still too weak!
"Uncle Krillin, let me heal you!"
Dende saw Krillin clutching his stomach, his face twitching in pain now and then.
He held out his palm toward Krillin, and a gentle energy poured from his hand into Krillin's body.
"That feels great. It really doesn't hurt as much now."
Krillin said with a blissful look. He could feel a gentle energy flowing into the injured area.
Under the healing energy, it felt as though he were soaking in a hot spring. His whole body felt comfortable.
Bulma stared at Dende curiously. Could he really heal injuries just like that?
Seeing how much Krillin was enjoying it, she thought Namekians were truly incredible.
[Ding! A Healing Attribute has dropped nearby. Pick it up?]
Collect!
Son Gohan recited the words instinctively. Suddenly, a healing function appeared on his Attribute Panel.
He was delighted. His whole reason for luring Dodoria over had been to collect Dende's Healing Attribute.
"Uncle Krillin, you're all better now."
Dende withdrew his hands and spoke happily.
Seeing that Krillin had recovered made him feel a sense of accomplishment, too.
"Thank you, Dende. Your healing is amazing. No shots or medicine, and you're completely recovered. It's just like Earth's Senzu Beans."
Krillin clenched his fists and hopped around, feeling that his body had completely recovered.
"Are all Namekian children this amazing?"
He was astonished that someone so young already had this kind of skill.
"We're all eggs that the Grand Elder spat out. Namekians are divided into several types: intellectual, healing, and warrior. We don't have males or females."
Dende explained the origins and different types of Namekians to Krillin and the others.
The people of this planet had no distinction between males and females. Bulma listened in astonishment.
They were all the Grand Elder's children, just as the Great Demon King on Earth could spit out eggs.
And all the Namekians on this planet were the Grand Elder's children.
"Gohan, can you take us to the Grand Elder? I want to tell him and my big brother Nail to leave here quickly. Lots of bad people have come to this planet."
Dende looked at Son Gohan pleadingly. The planet was very dangerous now, and he wanted to warn the Grand Elder to leave as soon as possible.
"No problem. Let's go now!"
Son Gohan nodded. Visiting the Grand Elder was one of his goals, too.
Everyone flew toward the Grand Elder!
North Kai's Planet.
After Piccolo and the others died, they followed Kami's guidance and spent a month running along Snake Way to reach North Kai's Planet and train.
Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu all praised Piccolo for his keen eye.
He'd been able to see at a glance that a powerful force lay dormant within Son Gohan.
He'd also managed to draw out the power inside him. It was truly impressive.
Piccolo felt proud, pleased that Son Gohan had achieved such good results.
In truth, his mindset had completely changed. He was gradually becoming part of the group.
"Lord King Kai, could you let us express our gratitude to Son Goku?"
Tien Shinhan had heard they were going to Planet Namek to find the Dragon Balls, and wanted to express his gratitude.
"Of course. Just place your hands on my back, and you'll be able to talk to Goku. I'll contact him first."
North Kai chuckled. King Kai's Planet was lively these days. With them training here, he'd never run out of amusing stories.
Far away in the vast universe, a spaceship was speeding toward Planet Namek.
888920100012001500
The view shifted inside the spaceship. Son Goku was furiously doing push-ups, getting used to thirty times Earth's gravity.
He knew that someone even stronger than Vegeta had appeared on Planet Namek, so he needed to use these six days to get used to the greater gravity.
He knew Gohan was very strong, but he was still young and lacked battle experience.
He had to get stronger quickly. Only then could he face the powerful people on Planet Namek.
"Goku, can you hear me? I've got lots of guests here, and you know them all."
At that moment, King Kai contacted Son Goku through the two antennae on his head and told him that Tien Shinhan and the others had come to train on North Kai's Planet.
Yamcha and the others also spoke briefly with Son Goku through King Kai's back.
Everyone knew that Son Gohan and the others had gone to Planet Namek to find the Dragon Balls and bring them back to life.
Son Goku was also on his way to that planet, and they all thanked him.
Finally, North Kai warned Son Goku not to provoke Frieza, the Cosmic Emperor.
That madman was completely ruthless. He might decide he wanted to see fireworks and destroy someone's planet on a whim.
