On the battlefield.
"King Cold, prepare to die!"
Vegeta had arrived just then and immediately threw a punch at King Cold.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing an evil smile.
Vegeta's figure suddenly vanished from where he stood.
"Vegeta, you're too devious!"
Son Goku saw his prey being snatched away.
He, too, charged toward King Cold.
"Pathetic trick. I see you."
King Cold's face turned wary as he threw a punch straight ahead.
Neither of them tried to fight dirty. They both chose to meet their opponent head-on.
Although King Cold died at Future Trunks' hands in the anime, his Battle Power was no slouch.
Bang!
Their fists collided with a dull boom.
A terrifying force surged toward them. King Cold's body didn't budge at all, as if his feet had taken root in the ground.
Vegeta, meanwhile, staggered back more than a dozen steps.
Boom!
With a deafening crash, Son Goku joined the fight and punched King Cold in his eight-pack.
But the other man was completely unharmed. Son Goku, on the other hand, felt as though he'd punched a steel plate.
"Take this! And this!"
He unleashed Wolf Fang Fist, pummeling King Cold's lower abdomen without pause.
[ Ding! Battle Power attribute dropped ahead: 1,000. ]
[ Ding! Battle Power +10,000. ]
As soon as the battle began, a system notification sounded in Son Gohan's mind.
He watched the fight with great interest.
"Is that all you've got? It feels like you're just scratching an itch."
King Cold looked at Son Goku with an amused expression.
He grabbed the other man's arm and twisted it a hundred and thirty degrees, then hurled him at Vegeta, who was charging toward them.
Vegeta dodged Son Goku's incoming body with an odd maneuver.
In an instant, he unleashed his true power.
A powerful aura burst from him.
His whole body was enveloped in a white Aura.
Vegeta wanted to grind King Cold into the ground. Only then could he show off his own strength.
"Is the difference in power really that huge?"
"Kaio-ken times twenty!"
Son Goku saw that his attacks weren't having any effect.
He decisively unleashed twenty times his Battle Power to fight.
A red aura enveloped Son Goku.
His speed and Battle Power increased dramatically, and soon he charged at his opponent again.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the blink of an eye, the three of them exchanged hundreds of blows.
King Cold seized his chance and punched Son Goku in the abdomen as he charged in.
But before his fist could hit, Son Goku changed direction and struck at King Cold from behind.
It turned out that Son Goku's attack had been a feint. He'd used his incredible speed to get behind his opponent.
But King Cold was a battle-hardened veteran, and instinctively threw a punch behind him.
Bang!
Son Goku was sent flying once again.
Two beams of light suddenly shot from King Cold's eyes.
Using his ability to sense his opponent's ki, Vegeta leaned backward and kicked King Cold in the chin.
That let him evade the surprise attack.
After landing the hit, Vegeta pressed his advantage. He moved at high speed and appeared above King Cold.
He brought both fists down on the other man's head like a pair of hammers.
Thud!
King Cold's body crashed into the sea like a cannonball.
Son Goku and Vegeta unleashed a barrage of Energy Blasts at the water.
Rumble!
The blasts exploded in the sea, sending sprays of water dozens of meters into the air.
"I never imagined watching a fight this close would be so awe-inspiring."
"Their Battle Power is just too high. I can't even make out their movements."
"Wow, they're incredible."
"This battle is terrifying."
The Namekians and Earth's warriors watched the fight, their foreheads slick with cold sweat.
If Son Goku, his son, and Vegeta hadn't been there, Planet Namek might have been destroyed long ago.
Steam billowed from the sea, as if the water itself were boiling.
A column of water shot into the sky, with King Cold standing on top of it.
H-How could this be? After taking such a fierce barrage, the other man wasn't hurt at all.
Our strength is nowhere near his.
Son Goku stared in astonishment as King Cold rose out of the sea.
Like father, like son.
No wonder Frieza's Battle Power was so formidable.
Vegeta was furious to see King Cold emerge completely unharmed.
He couldn't believe that neither his nor Kakarot's attacks had had any effect.
"Saiyans, your warm-up is over."
"Now, prepare to face my wrath."
King Cold looked down at Son Goku and Vegeta from above.
His eyes made it seem as if he were toying with his prey.
His entire aura erupted all at once.
"W-What? His ki is still rising!"
"King Cold said that was just a warm-up?"
"But Goku already used Kaio-ken times twenty!"
"Damn it! I can't help at all!"
Piccolo and the others gritted their teeth in frustration, blaming their own weak Battle Power.
They hadn't expected Son Goku to have already brought out his true power, while his opponent had still been warming up.
"Ho ho ho."
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
King Cold felt the vast power surging within him.
He laughed joyfully.
"That damn laugh makes me want to puke."
Burning with rage, Vegeta attacked first.
He flashed forward and threw a punch straight at King Cold's head.
Bang!
King Cold neither dodged nor flinched. His face met Vegeta's fist in an intimate collision.
But he stood as firm as the Eiffel Tower, completely unharmed.
"W-What?"
"H-How is that possible?"
Vegeta's eyes widened as if he'd seen a ghost, and cold sweat covered his forehead.
He saw that his fist was still pressed against King Cold's face.
The other man's head had stopped his punch completely.
And King Cold was looking at him like he was an idiot.
"Nothing's impossible."
"The game is over. Get down, Vegeta."
King Cold's boulder-sized fist slammed into Vegeta's abdomen.
"Urgh!"
A wave of agony shot through Vegeta's abdomen, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He clutched his stomach, his body bent over like a shrimp.
"Holy crap."
"One-shot?"
"I didn't think the difference between them was that big."
"Vegeta couldn't even withstand one punch from King Cold."
The spectators were stunned. How were they supposed to fight him now?
Their battle had been like an adult fighting a child.
"Does it hurt? Good."
"I'm going to torture you until you wish you were dead."
King Cold said with a vicious expression.
He unleashed Crazy Death Beam, firing a stream of Energy Blasts from his fingertips at Vegeta.
"Ah! Aah!"
One bloodcurdling scream after another rang out, making everyone's scalp go numb.
