One Punch to Blow Vegeta Away?

"Whoosh!"

Dodoria piloted the spaceship, rapidly pursuing Vegeta.

Fifty minutes later.

Dodoria's spaceship landed on the planet where Vegeta and Nappa were.

"Whoosh!"

Dodoria flew out of the spaceship and shot into the sky, quickly scanning the area for Vegeta.

"Rumble!"

Suddenly, a tremendous roar came from the distant ground, and a huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky.

"There you are!" Dodoria's eyes lit up. He hurried toward Vegeta and Nappa.

Dodoria pushed his speed almost to the limit. In just a few blinks, he was already hovering above Vegeta and Nappa, looking down at them.

"I have to say, increasing my battle power sixteenfold has boosted my speed enormously, too!" Dodoria grew more and more excited.

My battle power has reached 320,000 now!

Let's see how I deal with you, little Saiyan prince!

"There you are!" Dodoria quickly fixed his gaze on Vegeta, then swooped down and landed in front of him.

Vegeta's expression darkened at Dodoria's sudden arrival.

When did this guy get here?

This is bad!

Without a Scouter, I had no way to detect him!

I'm in trouble now!

Still, it's a good thing I have some Battle God Water left.

The side effects have already worn off for Nappa and me.

As long as I drink some more Battle God Water, I should have no problem beating Dodoria.

"Well, if it isn't Vegeta, the little prince of the Saiyans?" Dodoria looked at him with great interest, his face brimming with amusement.

"Dodoria! What are you doing here?" Vegeta sneered.

Nappa, standing nearby, trembled with fear.

Nappa knew perfectly well that Dodoria's battle power was apparently around 20,000.

"Of course, I'm here to take you back and let Lord Frieza decide your fate personally." Dodoria smiled.

"Hmph, do you know how high my battle power is now?" Vegeta's heart jolted, but he pretended to be calm as he asked.

"Isn't it 300,000?" Dodoria chuckled.

Vegeta didn't know what to say.

Isn't it 300,000?

Since when did 300,000 battle power become so insignificant?

"You're talking as if your own battle power is already over 300,000," Vegeta said, rolling his eyes at Dodoria.

Dodoria calmly took out the Battle God Water and waved it in front of Vegeta and Nappa.

It had been soaking in urine for several days, and the foam it sloshed up was impressively thick.

Vegeta's pupils contracted, but the corner of his mouth curled into a faint smile.

It seems everything is going according to plan.

Then Vegeta glanced at Nappa and glared at him.

Nappa: "????"

Nappa was baffled.

Wait... Prince Vegeta, why are you glaring at me?

I didn't say anything, and I haven't let anything slip!

"You idiot! This is all your fault! I told you to destroy the Battle God Water, but you insisted on leaving it in space because you thought they'd never find it!" Vegeta shouted at Nappa.

Nappa: "..."

You never said anything like that!

Oh, I get it!

You're putting on an act for Dodoria.

Has Dodoria's battle power already exceeded 300,000?

So he drank the Battle God Water?

We have to stall for time until the side effects kick in.

"I'm terribly sorry, Prince Vegeta. I was careless," Nappa replied quickly, looking apologetic.

"So, how many times did your battle power multiply?" Vegeta asked warily.

"Hmph, not much—just sixteen times," Dodoria said with a toothy grin. "But my base battle power was 20,000, so can you figure out what it is now?"

"320,000!" Vegeta gritted his teeth.

"Correct!" Dodoria beamed even more brightly and waved the Battle God Water in his hand again. "But I have to say, this Battle God Water tastes great. It has a really unique flavor! Maybe we should develop a similar drink someday. It'd make a pretty good everyday beverage!"

Vegeta nearly threw up.

Is something wrong with your sense of taste?

Nappa was barely keeping himself from vomiting.

That stuff has Raditz's urine mixed into it. Could you really not taste it at all?

"Enough. I'm done talking. I'll beat you up, then take you to Lord Frieza so he can deal with you properly!" Dodoria rubbed his fists and strode toward Vegeta.

"Wait! I'll go with you!" Vegeta suddenly said.

Dodoria paused and narrowed his eyes at Vegeta.

"I know I'm 20,000 points of battle power below you. I'm no match for you," Vegeta said gravely. His young face was filled with unwillingness, his emotions plainly on display.

"What? You're giving up before the fight's even started? That's not like you, Prince of the Saiyans!" Dodoria was a little surprised.

"Hmph, how am I supposed to fight when I'm 20,000 points weaker?" Vegeta grunted. "If the difference were only 2,000 and we were both over 300,000, I don't think I'd necessarily lose to you!"

"You're quite sensible, aren't you?" Dodoria chuckled and rubbed his fists again, grinning even more arrogantly. "But I've still decided to give you a good beating! I can't stand the sight of you!"

As he spoke, Dodoria threw a punch toward Vegeta.

Vegeta had been prepared and hurriedly leaped backward, dodging Dodoria's attack.

"Damn it!" Vegeta's eyes blazed with fury, and he was filled with regret.

His battle power is 300,000.

Mine is only 15,000!

He could easily kill me!

"Whoosh!"

Just as Vegeta was on guard, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

A frigid killing intent had appeared behind him without warning.

Vegeta mechanically turned his head and looked behind him.

"You were pretty quick to dodge just now, but you're nowhere near as fast as me," Dodoria sneered. "So this is the speed and power of someone with 320,000 battle power?"

"No! This is bad!" Vegeta cried, his face draining of color.

"Thud!"

Dodoria's fist slammed into Vegeta's back.

"Pff..."

Vegeta spewed blood from his mouth. Dodoria's punch had nearly blown him apart.

Fortunately, Dodoria sensed something was wrong and pulled his strength back in time.

Even so, Vegeta plunged from the sky like a cannonball and crashed heavily into the ground below, leaving a huge crater.

Dodoria slowly descended from the sky and landed at the edge of the crater. Puzzled, he raised his right fist and examined it closely, furrowing his brow.

Then Dodoria reached out, grabbed Vegeta from inside the crater, and hauled him out.

Vegeta grimaced in pain, feeling weaker by the second.

He nearly beat me to death!

320,000 battle power really is strong!
