Son Goku vs. Nappa

Tien Shinhan had already finished off the Saibaman by this point.

Nappa was startled.

He had originally assumed the Saibaman would be able to take care of them, but he hadn't expected the strength of Krillin and the others to exceed his expectations.

"Well then, Nappa, since the Saibaman has been dealt with, it's your turn to go!"

"Understood, Prince Vegeta!"

As Nappa spoke, he clasped his hands together and a wicked grin appeared on his face.

"Which one of you lot is going to be the first to go to their death?"

Upon hearing this, Krillin and the others didn't dare to speak, all of them turning their gazes toward Son Goku and his son.

Nappa's energy was simply too overwhelming; even if they all used their full strength, they might not be his match.

"Then I shall be the one to face you!"

Son Goku took a few steps forward and said.

Just then, a light breeze blew, ruffling Son Goku's hair.

Nappa chuckled and said.

"Fine, then I'll finish you off first, and then I'll deal with those Earthlings!"

"That remains to be seen, if you have the ability to do so!"

Son Goku said with a calm expression.

"Tch!"

Nappa sneered, his face full of disdain.

"Kakarot, don't talk about you—even your brother Raditz wouldn't dare be this arrogant in front of me!"

"Is that so!"

Son Goku let out a light laugh and released the energy he had been suppressing within his body.

The scouter worn over Nappa's left eye immediately began to beep.

"Beep... beep..."

"...2000...3000..."

As the numbers climbed rapidly, beads of cold sweat immediately broke out on Nappa's forehead.

In the end, Son Goku's power level climbed to five thousand.

"Fi... five thousand!"

Seeing the number finally come to a halt, Nappa suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

In just one year, Son Goku had actually increased his power level from over four hundred to five thousand.

Vegeta was equally surprised when he heard this.

However, it was only surprise; his own base power level had already reached 14,000, so a power level of 5,000 meant nothing to him.

"Five thousand!"

Krillin and the others were also shocked when they heard this.

Although they knew Son Goku's strength was greater than theirs, they hadn't expected him to be this much stronger.

"So, am I stronger than Raditz now?"

Nappa let out a cold snort.

"So what if you're stronger? I am a warrior from a noble lineage, while you are merely the son of a low-class warrior. It is absolutely impossible for you to defeat me!"

Son Goku smiled faintly upon hearing this.

"Is that so! In that case, shall we begin?"

Nappa immediately dropped his arms from his chest, his expression turning serious.

"Ha!"

Suddenly, Nappa let out a loud shout, his body moving like the wind to appear before Son Goku, launching a powerful attack at him.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Son Goku shifted left and dodged right, evading Nappa's attacks with ease.

"What!"

Nappa was startled; he immediately retreated and fired an energy blast from his right hand toward Son Goku.

Son Goku shifted his body to the left, dodging the blast.

BOOM!!

With a massive explosion, the mountain behind Son Goku was blasted to smithereens.

"Damn it!"

Nappa roared in anger, firing several energy blasts from his hands toward Son Goku.

Son Goku shifted his body slightly, dodging them once again.

Seeing this, Nappa charged toward Son Goku once more.

In an instant, Nappa reached Son Goku and swung his right fist downward with great force.

Son Goku raised both hands to block the punch.

Nappa was startled.

At that moment, Son Goku thrust his hands upward, knocking Nappa back several steps.

"Alright, you've been attacking for long enough; now it's my turn!"

Hearing this, Nappa grew nervous, but with Vegeta standing right behind him, he forced himself to remain calm.

"Kakarot, I want to see just how strong you really are!"

With those words, Nappa clenched his fists tightly and charged at Son Goku again.

Son Goku shifted to the left and drove his right fist hard into Nappa's face.

BANG!!

Son Goku's fist connected squarely with Nappa's face, knocking out two of his teeth and sending him flying like a projectile until he slammed into the mountain behind him.

A massive cloud of dust erupted from the ground.

When the dust settled, Nappa climbed up, panting heavily, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his right hand.

"Tch, what a useless guy."

Vegeta watched with a look of disdain.

Nappa seemed to notice Vegeta's contempt, and his expression turned grave.

Having followed Vegeta for so long, he knew him well.

Vegeta was ruthless toward everyone; if he failed to defeat Son Goku, he would surely face severe punishment.

With that thought, Nappa decided to go all out, determined to defeat Son Goku at any cost.

"Hah!"

With a loud shout, Nappa suddenly gathered a ki blast in his right hand and fired it at Krillin.

Son Goku was shocked.

He hadn't expected Nappa to target Krillin, and at his current speed, he couldn't reach him in time.

BANG!

Just then, Son Gohan moved, appearing instantly in front of Krillin and swatting Nappa's energy blast away with his palm.

With a loud boom, the blast exploded behind them.

"Go... Gohan!"

Krillin was startled, then looked toward the explosion behind him.

"Gohan, are you saying you just saved me?"

"Yeah!"

Son Gohan nodded.

Nappa was stunned.

"How... how did that brat appear in front of the bald guy?"

At this moment, a look of gravity appeared on Vegeta's face.

He had assumed Son Goku was the strongest among them, but it now appeared that Son Gohan's power might be on par with his.

"Interesting!"

A moment later, the corners of Vegeta's mouth curled up into a faint smile.

Just then, Nappa clapped his hands forward rapidly, unleashing a barrage of golden energy blasts toward Tien Shinhan and the others.

Tien Shinhan and the others scrambled backward to dodge.

"Damn it!"

Son Goku roared in anger, clenching his fists tightly.

"Kaio-ken!"

With a shout, Son Goku transformed into a streak of red light and charged toward Nappa.

"What!"

Vegeta was shocked, dropping his crossed arms.

BANG!!

At that very moment, Son Goku appeared before Nappa and drove his right fist deep into his abdomen.

Nappa let out a shrill scream, his body hurtling like a beam of light before slamming heavily into the mountain behind him.

With a thunderous boom, a massive amount of rock and debris tumbled down from the mountain, burying Nappa beneath them.

A vast cloud of dust and sand quickly billowed up from the ground.

After a short while, as the dust settled, Nappa's combat power instantly plummeted from its original four thousand to a mere two.

"As expected, you are all nothing but useless trash!"

Seeing that Nappa had completely lost his ability to fight, the disdain in Vegeta's eyes deepened even further.
