"Isn't there much time left?"
Krillin asked, eyes wide.
"Mm!"
Nail nodded.
"In that case, we won't trouble the Grand Elder!"
Krillin said with a smile.
Nail nodded.
"So, Son Gohan, when will you help us get rid of Frieza?"
"Get rid of Frieza!"
Krillin and the others stared at Son Gohan in surprise.
"Gohan, are you going to help them get rid of Frieza?"
"Mm!"
Son Gohan nodded.
"I already promised their Grand Elder!"
If Frieza couldn't get the Dragon Balls on Namek, he would definitely consider going after the Dragon Balls on Earth.
So rather than wait for him to come, they might as well strike first.
"Then I'll go with you, Gohan!"
Son Goku said.
Piccolo said, "Gohan, I'll go with you too!"
Seeing this, Krillin was about to speak.
But when he thought about his own strength, he decided against it.
"Okay!"
Son Gohan nodded.
"But once we get to Namek, you have to do everything I say!"
"Mm!"
The two of them nodded.
Seeing this, Son Gohan used Instant Transmission and took them both to Namek.
When he had left Namek, he had sensed Frieza's ki, so as long as he sensed Frieza's ki again, he could return to Namek.
After the three of them arrived on Namek, they soon spotted a huge spaceship.
It was Frieza's spaceship.
At that moment, Frieza was inside his spaceship, lecturing Dodoria and Zarbon, who had just returned.
Suddenly, he spotted Piccolo and the others outside the spaceship.
"Zarbon, Dodoria, isn't that a Namekian?"
Hearing Frieza, Dodoria and Zarbon immediately followed his gaze and saw Son Goku and the others.
"A Namekian!"
"And not just a Namekian—there's a Saiyan too!"
Zarbon said, looking at Son Goku's hairstyle.
"A Saiyan? But he doesn't seem to have a tail."
"Maybe it was pulled off!"
"But apart from Vegeta, aren't the only Saiyans left the few on Earth?"
Dodoria said.
"Mm!"
Zarbon nodded.
"So he most likely came from Earth!"
"Earth!"
"Dodoria, Zarbon, I don't care where this Saiyan came from. What I care about most right now is the Dragon Balls on Namek.
Go capture that Namekian and make him tell us where the Dragon Balls are!"
Frieza said from his hover chair.
"Yes, Lord Frieza!"
The two hurried outside.
Soon, they emerged and flew in front of the three.
"Who are you? Have you hidden all the Namekians on this planet?"
Dodoria said, looking at the three of them.
Piccolo snorted.
"We haven't hidden any Namekians. They've simply gone to another planet."
"Another planet? Which one?"
Piccolo smiled.
"Do you think I'd tell you?"
"Damn you, you're messing with me!"
Dodoria clenched his fists.
"So what if I am? If you know what's good for you, you'll get off this planet. Otherwise, you'll never leave!"
"Is that so?"
As he spoke, Dodoria activated the Scouter over his left eye.
"Beep beep..."
"...20000..."
"2... 20000!"
When Dodoria saw the reading on the Scouter, a look of surprise crossed his face.
He had thought Piccolo was just being arrogant, but it turned out he really did have some ability.
Still, Piccolo's battle power was only 20,000, while his own was 22,000.
So if he went all out, he should be able to beat him.
"Battle power of 20,000?"
Zarbon's expression grew serious as well.
"Mm!"
Dodoria nodded.
"What about the other two?"
"I'll check."
As he spoke, Dodoria aimed the Scouter at Son Goku and Son Gohan.
"Beep beep..."
"...5000..."
"5000!"
When Dodoria saw that both of their battle powers were 5,000, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Only 5,000?"
Zarbon looked at Son Goku and his son with disdain.
"Then, Dodoria, you handle the Namekian. I'll take care of those two!"
Hearing this, Dodoria looked at Zarbon with displeasure.
Dodoria had to fight the strong one while Zarbon got the two weak ones. Zarbon was really a piece of work.
"What's wrong?"
"Zarbon, you take the Namekian. I'll handle those two Saiyans!"
"What, Dodoria? Are you afraid of that Namekian?"
"Who's afraid of him? I just want to switch opponents. Is that a problem?"
"..."
Piccolo was speechless.
He actually wanted to say that he was the weakest one here.
Dodoria said, "Then let's play rock-paper-scissors! Whoever wins gets to fight the two Saiyans!"
"Fine, rock-paper-scissors it is!"
The two were about to play when Piccolo suddenly fired an energy blast at them.
They immediately dodged.
With a tremendous boom, the energy blast exploded behind them.
"Damn it!"
Dodoria clenched his fists and glared at Piccolo, furious.
Zarbon was just as angry.
Piccolo snorted.
"Don't underestimate me! Even if you both attack me together, you still won't be a match for me!"
"What did you say?"
Dodoria flew into a rage.
He had thought Piccolo would be troublesome to deal with, which was why he had been trying to pass him off to Zarbon.
But now that Piccolo had said this, he was going to teach him a lesson.
"Zarbon, forget rock-paper-scissors. Leave this guy to me!"
"Fine!"
Zarbon nodded.
With that, Dodoria turned to Piccolo.
"Ha!"
With a shout, Dodoria shot toward Piccolo like lightning.
Piccolo clenched both fists and charged to meet him.
"Whoosh..."
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
The two quickly came face-to-face, throwing powerful punches at each other.
Seeing this, Zarbon thrust both hands forward and fired several energy blasts at Son Goku and Son Gohan.
Son Gohan raised his right hand and slapped away all of Zarbon's incoming energy blasts.
"What!"
Zarbon was startled.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Son Gohan suddenly appeared in front of him and drove his right fist hard into Zarbon's stomach.
"Argh!"
Zarbon let out a loud scream as he was sent flying, crashing into the spaceship behind him.
With a tremendous boom, a huge hole appeared in the bottom of the spaceship, and thick smoke billowed out from inside.
