Gohan is Defeated, Piccolo Appears

King Cold extended an olive branch to Gohan.

"I refuse! You evil people, my dad and the others will never let you go!"

Gohan roared in anger, a tremendous amount of energy erupting from his small body.

"Your dad? So it's those detestable Saiyans. Perfect, I'll start with his son!"

Cooler realized this child before him was no ordinary being, possessing immense power, even greater than his mecha army. His father must be the Saiyan who killed Frieza.

"Hmph, so that's how it is. Your father killed Frieza, didn't he? I've changed my mind. I'm going to cut you into a thousand pieces and let that damned Saiyan die in despair!"

"That detestable bastard was killed by Uncle Li Feng, but Dad can definitely kill you now!"

Gohan had unwavering faith in Goku; his father had always been invincible in his eyes.

"Enough talk, let's kill his son first!"

"Swish!"

Cooler flew towards Gohan with terrifying speed.

"What!"

"Ah!"

Although Gohan's power level had already surpassed a million, he couldn't react to Cooler's astonishing speed and was instantly kicked away.

Gohan's body shot backward like a cannonball, crashing directly into the mountain range behind him. Boom, boom, boom! The incredible impact tore through several peaks before he became embedded in a massive boulder like a spiderweb.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

Gohan spat out several mouthfuls of blood, his chest feeling as if his bones were broken, making it difficult to breathe.

But his gaze remained resolute, confronting Cooler without fear.

"Hmph, brat, what's with that look in your eyes?"

Cooler flew over, expecting to see the boy begging for mercy and despairing. However, Gohan's unyielding, angry, and determined expression felt like an insult to his dignity.

"Yaaah!----"

Gohan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and let out a great roar.

Instantly, the boulder he was on exploded, and a torrent of energy spread out, vibrating the air. Gohan had powered up!

"Swish! Swish! Swish!----"

White energy erupted from Gohan, and astonishing power swept out like a tornado.

"Ha!"

Gohan was fearless. As a Saiyan, he ignited his battle-loving genes, his indomitable fighting spirit fueling his intense desire to fight!

"Dah! Dah! Dah! Dah! Dah! Dah!"

Gohan's power level surged after powering up, and he immediately launched a fierce assault on Cooler.

Gohan's fists and legs moved like lightning, striking Cooler with machine-gun-like speed.

Cooler, however, remained leisurely, a smirk on his lips. With his arms crossed, he moved his body slightly, dodging Gohan's attacks with minimal effort each time. Watching the enraged Gohan, he found it quite amusing, treating the boy as a decent toy.

"Hoo!---Hah!---Hoo!---Hah!---"

After a fierce barrage of attacks, Gohan was panting. He realized his attacks couldn't even touch Cooler.

This wouldn't do; he would be defeated!

Gohan immediately retreated, his mind frantically searching for another solution.

"Hmph, brat, entertain me a little more?"

Cooler sensed Gohan's ki decreasing and felt it was time to end this.

"Ha!"

Gohan fought with his back against the wall, his feet firmly planted on the ground as he gathered energy again.

"Swish!"

At this moment, an even more surging aura emanated from Gohan.

"Kame!"

Gohan brought his hands together behind him, and a sapphire energy began to gather.

"hame!"

The ground beneath Gohan's feet caved in under the immense power.

"Hah!"

The blue light grew brighter and brighter, instantly illuminating the surroundings.

"Goh!"

The wind howled, and the astonishing energy reached a terrifying intensity!

"Chaaaa!"

Gohan roared, pushing his hands outward, unleashing the Kamehameha!

A blue beam of energy shot straight towards Cooler.

A hint of surprise flickered across Cooler's face. He hadn't expected the seemingly weak brat to launch a decent attack at the last moment. He didn't dodge, merely blocking it lightly with his right hand.

"BOOM!"

The terrifying energy met Cooler's arm as if hitting an invisible wall, completely blocked.

"How is this possible?!"

Gohan was shocked. His full-power Kamehameha had no effect on Cooler at all!

WHOOSH!

Finally, the blue beam dissipated, leaving Cooler unharmed.

"Kid, that attack was alright. It tickled me."

Cooler wiped his palm and said.

"It's just that Saiyans must be exterminated."

Cooler was actually quite shocked internally. Saiyans were indeed a terrifying race. Even such a small brat could unleash such powerful energy. If his father were here, wouldn't he be even stronger?

This only strengthened Cooler's resolve to exterminate the Saiyans.

SWISH!

Cooler's figure flashed, instantly appearing behind Gohan.

Gohan's hair stood on end. He felt a deadly threat from behind and quickly turned his head, blocking with both arms.

"BOOM!"

Unfortunately, Cooler's punch shattered Gohan's defense. Then, as Gohan flew backward, he coiled his tail around the small Gohan, lifting him up.

Then he proceeded to beat Gohan down.

"Aaaah!----"

Gohan's screams echoed through the heavens.

"Gohan!"

"Damn it!"

Actually, when Gohan powered up earlier, Krillin and the other Z Fighters had wanted to help, but they were blocked by King Cold. He knocked them down one by one with ease, their bones feeling as if they were broken, leaving them on the verge of death.

King Cold didn't kill them. He looked up and saw Gohan's outburst with interest, wanting to torment them thoroughly.

"Bastard! If we were stronger too, this wouldn't be happening!"

Tien Shinhan regretted and raged at his own weakness.

"Damn it! Goku! Where are you guys!? Hurry up and get here!"

Krillin cried out in despair. They were facing certain death.

"Hmph, brat, shout louder. Maybe you'll call out all your damn Saiyan accomplices!"

Cooler heard Gohan's pained screams as if they were beautiful music. His tail kept Gohan coiled, tightening around his neck, while his hands and feet relentlessly attacked Gohan.

"Aaaah!--"

Gohan's screams were chilling.

"Bastard! Die!"

At this moment, an astonishing aura erupted. A ki blast flew towards Cooler's tail, and with a boom, Gohan was freed.

"What? Who is it?"

Although Cooler's fourth form reached two hundred million, he couldn't use his full power in a normal fight. When fighting Gohan, his power output was only around two million.

But now, being ambushed, his tail still hurt, and he quickly searched for the hidden enemy.

"Whoosh--"

A gust of wind blew, and a white cape billowed in the wind. Gohan, heavily injured, looked at the figure holding him and said with relief, "Uncle Piccolo, you're here."

"Mm, Gohan, you did well. Leave the rest to me."

Piccolo smiled at Gohan.
