"There isn't much time left?"

Krillin widened his eyes.

"Yes!"

Nail nodded.

"In that case, we won't trouble the Grand Elder any further!"

Krillin smiled.

Nail nodded in response.

"So Son Gohan, when will you help us eliminate Frieza?"

"Eliminate Frieza!"

Upon hearing this, Krillin and the others looked at Son Gohan with expressions of shock.

"Gohan, are you going to help them eliminate Frieza?"

"Yes!"

Son Gohan nodded.

"I have already given my word to their Grand Elder!"

If Frieza could not obtain the Dragon Balls on Namek, he would certainly set his sights on the Dragon Balls on Earth.

Therefore, rather than waiting for him to come, it was better to take the initiative.

"Then Gohan, I will go with you!"

Son Goku said.

Piccolo: "Gohan, I will go with you as well!"

Seeing this, Krillin wanted to speak up.

But upon considering his own strength, he decided against it.

"Alright!"

Son Gohan nodded.

"But once we arrive on Namek, you must both listen to me!"

"Understood!"

The two of them nodded.

Seeing this, Son Gohan used Instant Transmission to bring the two of them to Namek.

He had sensed Frieza's ki when he previously left Namek, so as long as he could lock onto that ki, he could return to the planet.

After the trio arrived on Namek, they quickly spotted a massive spaceship.

This vessel was none other than Frieza's spaceship.

At that moment, Frieza was inside his ship, lecturing Dodoria and Zarbon, who had just returned.

Suddenly, he spotted Piccolo and the others appearing outside the ship.

"Zarbon, Dodoria, aren't those Namekians?"

Upon hearing this, Dodoria and Zarbon immediately followed Frieza's gaze and saw Son Goku and the others.

"Namekians!"

"It's not just Namekians; there's also a Saiyan!"

Zarbon said, looking at Son Goku's hairstyle.

"A Saiyan? But he doesn't seem to have a tail behind him?"

"It was likely removed!"

"But aside from Vegeta, aren't the only remaining Saiyans the ones on Earth?"

Dodoria said.

"Yes!"

Zarbon nodded.

"So it is highly likely that he came from Earth!"

"Earth!"

"Dodoria, Zarbon, I don't care where that Saiyan came from; the only thing I care about right now is the Dragon Balls on Namek.

Go and capture those Namekians, and make them tell you the whereabouts of the Dragon Balls!"

Frieza said, sitting in his hoverchair.

"Yes, Lord Frieza!"

Hearing this, the two of them hurriedly rushed outside.

Soon, the two of them emerged from inside and flew to the front of the trio.

"Who are you people? Have you hidden the Namekians on Planet Namek?"

Dodoria looked at the three of them and spoke.

Piccolo let out a cold snort.

"We haven't hidden the Namekians; they have simply gone to another planet!"

"Another planet? What planet?"

Piccolo smiled and said.

"Do you think I would tell you?"

"Damn it, you dare to play me for a fool!"

Upon hearing this, Dodoria clenched his fists tightly.

"So what if I am? If you know what's good for you, you'll obediently get off this planet. Otherwise, don't even think about ever leaving!"

"Is that so!"

As Dodoria spoke, he activated the power level scouter worn over his left eye.

"Beep... beep..."

"...20,000..."

"2...20,000!"

Seeing the reading on the scouter, a look of surprise immediately appeared on Dodoria's face.

He had originally assumed Piccolo was just being arrogant, but he hadn't expected him to actually have some skill.

However, Piccolo's power level was only 20,000, while his own was 22,000.

Therefore, if he went all out, he should be able to defeat him.

"A power level of 20,000, huh!"

Hearing this, the expression on Zarbon's face also became somewhat grave.

"Mm!"

Dodoria nodded.

"What about the other two?"

"Let me check!"

Dodoria said, aiming his scouter at Son Goku and Son Gohan.

"Beep... beep..."

"...5,000..."

"5,000!"

After seeing that both of their power levels were 5,000, Dodoria immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"5,000, huh!"

Hearing this, Zarbon looked at the father and son with a face full of contempt.

"In that case, Dodoria, you deal with that Namekian, and I'll take care of those two!"

Dodoria looked at Zarbon with immediate dissatisfaction.

He had to deal with the strong one while Zarbon took the two weak ones; he had to admit, Zarbon was truly a snake.

"What's wrong?"

"Zarbon, you should be the one to deal with that Namekian, and I'll take on those two Saiyans!"

"What's the matter, Dodoria? Are you afraid of that Namekian?"

"Who's afraid of that Namekian? I just want to swap opponents with you, is that not allowed?"

"..."

Seeing this, Piccolo was speechless.

He actually really wanted to say that he was the weakest one of them all.

Dodoria: "Then let's play rock-paper-scissors! Whoever wins gets to fight those two Saiyans!"

"Rock-paper-scissors it is!"

As they spoke, the two were just about to start, when Piccolo suddenly fired an energy wave at them.

Seeing this, the two immediately dodged.

With a loud boom, the energy wave exploded behind them.

"Damn you!"

Dodoria clenched his fists, glaring at Piccolo with a face full of rage.

Zarbon was extremely furious at this.

Piccolo let out a cold snort.

"Stop looking down on people; even if the two of you come at me together, you are no match for me!"

"What did you say!"

Upon hearing this, Dodoria immediately flew into a rage.

Originally, he had felt that Piccolo would be troublesome to deal with, which was why he and Zarbon had been pushing the task onto each other.

But now that Piccolo had said such a thing, he was determined to teach him a good lesson.

"Zarbon, we don't need to play rock-paper-scissors anymore; leave this guy to me!"

"Fine!"

Zarbon nodded.

Having said that, Dodoria immediately looked toward Piccolo.

"Ha!"

With a loud shout, Dodoria's body moved as fast as lightning as he charged toward Piccolo.

Piccolo clenched his fists and met him head-on.

"Whoosh..."

Bang, bang, bang!!

In an instant, the two arrived in front of each other, their fists striking out with great force.

Seeing this, Zarbon quickly clapped his hands forward, firing several energy waves toward Son Goku and Son Gohan.

Son Gohan raised his right hand, swatting away all the energy waves Zarbon had launched.

"What!"

Zarbon was startled.

Before the words had even faded, Son Gohan's figure suddenly appeared in front of Zarbon, his right fist striking hard into Zarbon's abdomen.

"Ah!"

Zarbon let out a miserable scream as his body flew backward, slamming heavily into the spaceship behind him.

With a loud boom, a massive hole was smashed into the base of the spaceship, and thick smoke immediately began to billow out from within.
