Threefold Kaio-ken Kamehameha

Just as the two were locked in a heated battle, Son Gohan was busy observing their surroundings.

In the original Dragon Ball story, Dr. Gero once mentioned that he had dispatched micro-robots to collect combat data on Son Goku and Vegeta.

After scanning the area for a while, Son Gohan spotted a white micro-robot smaller than a thumbnail.

"Found you!"

As Son Gohan spoke, his figure flickered, and he snatched the micro-robot out of the air.

The micro-robot seemed to sense it had been captured and immediately began to struggle against Son Gohan.

Son Gohan let out a cold snort and stowed it away into his system inventory.

"Gohan!"

At that moment, Piccolo and the others noticed Son Gohan appearing in the distance.

Son Gohan gave a nod and quickly flew to Piccolo's side.

"Gohan, did something happen?"

"It's nothing. I thought I saw a figure just now, but I must have been mistaken!"

"I see!"

After hearing this, Piccolo immediately turned his attention back to Son Goku's fight.

He had originally assumed that even after training on North Kai's planet for a year, Son Goku wouldn't be much stronger than him.

But he hadn't expected the gap between them to have grown so vast.

At this thought, Piccolo's hands clenched tightly.

Once this battle ended, he would have to train harder and do his best to catch up to Son Goku.

"Hah!"

Just then, Vegeta clenched his fists, and a powerful aura erupted from his entire body, rapidly surging upward.

BOOM!

Under the influence of Vegeta's energy, the surrounding ground shook violently, and massive amounts of sand and stone were blasted into the air.

Vegeta's body radiated a brilliant golden light, and a massive dark cloud appeared in the sky, obscuring the heavens.

"Such... such a powerful aura!"

No sooner had the words left his lips than a fierce gale erupted from Vegeta's body.

Son Goku blocked the wind with his right arm, his body sliding backward a fair distance.

"Hah!"

At that moment, Vegeta let out a forceful shout, and an incredibly dazzling light burst from his body.

A few moments later, when everything returned to calm, Vegeta had raised his combat power to 18,000.

"The ground has stopped shaking, and the black clouds in the sky have vanished!"

Son Goku said, glancing around at his surroundings.

With that, Son Goku immediately locked his gaze onto the Vegeta before him.

Due to the surge in his aura, Vegeta's expression had become eerily calm.

Just then, Vegeta let out a sudden shout, his body moving as fast as lightning as he charged toward Son Goku.

Son Goku was startled; before his body could react, he was struck by Vegeta's shoulder and sent flying.

Vegeta flickered, appearing instantly in front of the recoiling Son Goku, and drove his right elbow hard into Son Goku's back.

BANG!!

Son Goku was knocked down, crashing into a small mountain peak.

"Thud..."

Son Goku's feet touched the ground, and his body once again erupted with a massive red aura.

"Double Kaio-ken!"

With a loud shout, Son Goku's body transformed into a streak of red light, charging toward Vegeta.

Vegeta flickered and appeared behind Son Goku.

Son Goku spun around rapidly, only to see a leg flying toward him in a kick.

BANG!!

Vegeta's right foot slammed into Son Goku's chest, and Son Goku's body was instantly launched like a projectile, smashing violently into a mountain peak behind him.

"Goku!"

Krillin and the others watched, their hearts filled with worry.

Vegeta let out a cold sneer.

"Kakarot, is that all the strength you have?"

Upon hearing this, Son Goku immediately flew out from the mountain and landed on a small peak, gasping for air.

A moment later, the look in Son Goku's eyes suddenly turned resolute.

"There's no other way. Even if my body suffers damage, or if I have to risk death, I have no choice but to push the Kaio-ken to three times its power!"

"What's wrong, Kakarot? Are you out of moves?"

Seeing Son Goku hesitate, Vegeta laughed.

Son Goku heard him and slowly closed his eyes.

"My body, you must hold on!"

Vegeta's expression shifted slightly in surprise.

At that very moment, Son Goku snapped his eyes open, and a massive amount of red aura erupted from his entire body.

"Triple Kaio-ken!"

With a loud shout, Son Goku's body instantly transformed into a red flash, charging straight at Vegeta.

Vegeta was startled; before his body could even react, he was struck hard by Son Goku's incoming right fist.

Bang!!

With a violent crash, Vegeta's body was sent flying like a projectile.

"Hah!"

Son Goku let out a roar, his body moving as fast as a flash of light as he appeared directly above Vegeta.

Then, Son Goku thrust his right fist forward with all his might, slamming Vegeta down from mid-air.

With a thunderous boom, a massive mountain peak collapsed as Vegeta smashed into it.

A huge cloud of dust and sand instantly rose from the ground.

"Hoo... hoo..."

Son Goku gasped for air as the fiery red aura around his body slowly dissipated.

Although Son Goku had managed to injure Vegeta by using the Triple Kaio-ken, the strain of forcing his body to sustain it was immense.

Thinking of this, Son Goku immediately glanced back at Son Gohan.

In truth, if Son Gohan had been the one fighting, the battle would likely have ended long ago.

However, having trained on the North Kai's planet for a year, he had wanted to test his strength against Vegeta.

"Hah!"

Just then, Vegeta let out a fierce shout, releasing a powerful aura that blasted away the rocks pinning him down.

Vegeta looked at his hands and saw they were stained with blood.

"I... I've actually been injured!"

Vegeta muttered, finding it hard to believe.

Immediately, he looked up at Son Goku in the sky, his eyes burning with rage.

Boom!!

Vegeta leaped with all his might, flying rapidly into the high sky.

Because the burden of the Triple Kaio-ken was so heavy, Son Goku had already landed on a small mountain peak.

"Hah!"

At that moment, Vegeta brought his hands together behind him, purple lightning crackling between them.

"What!"

Son Goku was shocked.

He then glanced behind him and thought, Could it be... he intends to destroy the Earth!

Vegeta let out a cold snort.

"That's right, Kakarot. If you want to dodge, go right ahead, but the Earth behind you won't be so lucky!"

Upon hearing this, Son Goku clenched his fists tightly.

"I won't dodge!"

"Hah!"

As soon as Son Goku spoke, a massive amount of red aura erupted from his body, and he slowly brought his hands together behind him.

"Triple Kaio-ken Kamehameha!"

At that same moment, Vegeta finished gathering his energy and thrust his hands forward with all his might.

"Galick Gun!"

As Vegeta shouted, a purple beam of light erupted from him, firing straight at Son Goku.

"Hah!"

Son Goku let out a roar and unleashed his own Kamehameha.
