"Lord Zarbon!"

"Zarbon!"

Dodoria and the surrounding soldiers immediately wore expressions of shock upon seeing this.

Taking advantage of the moment, Piccolo struck the distracted Dodoria, sending him flying.

"Damn it!"

Dodoria stomped his feet hard against the ground, quickly bringing himself to a halt.

He then checked Zarbon with his scouter, only to discover that Zarbon's power level had plummeted to a mere one.

"What... what is going on? That brat's power level was clearly only five thousand, so how could he defeat Zarbon in an instant?"

Piccolo smiled and said, "That so-called power level scouter of yours must be measuring the intensity of our ki, which is why you mistakenly thought Gohan's strength was only five thousand!"

"The intensity of ki?"

"Exactly!"

As Piccolo spoke, he clenched his hands tightly, and an incredibly astonishing aura erupted from his entire body.

At that moment, the scouter worn over Dodoria's left eye began to beep incessantly.

"Beep... beep..."

"...21,000... 22,000..."

"...35,000..."

"Thirty... thirty-five thousand!"

Dodoria was horrified.

His own maximum power level was only 22,000, while Piccolo's was 13,000 higher than his.

"Now you should understand!"

"I... I understand!"

Cold sweat poured down Dodoria's forehead and back.

So it turned out all three of them had been playing the fool to catch the tiger, and he was the only one who had been honest.

"Look... can you spare my life? It was all King Frieza who ordered me to kill you!"

Upon hearing this, Piccolo immediately gathered a golden energy wave in his right hand and fired it at Dodoria.

"Piccolo!"

Seeing this, Son Goku wanted to stop him, but Dodoria had already been obliterated by the energy wave Piccolo unleashed.

"Hmph!"

Piccolo let out a cold snort.

"Son Goku, I am not as soft-hearted as you, and besides, these guys are invaders to begin with!"

"I understand, Piccolo!"

Son Goku nodded.

"Then, Piccolo, let's go meet this guy called Frieza!"

"Mm!"

Piccolo nodded.

Just then, Frieza emerged from the spaceship, accompanied by Captain Cui and a large number of soldiers.

As soon as Frieza appeared, all three of them turned their gazes toward him.

Frieza let out a cold laugh and said to Cui, who was standing to the side, "Cui, go capture that Namekian, and as for the other two, just kill them!"

Upon hearing this, Cui's entire body trembled as he said, "K-King Frieza, Dodoria and Zarbon were no match for them; I'm afraid that alone..."

"Hmm?"

Frieza stared at him with an icy expression.

"Yes! I will follow your orders immediately and eliminate those two Saiyans!"

With that, Cui charged straight toward Son Goku and the others.

In an instant, Cui reached Son Goku and threw a powerful punch forward.

"Whoosh..."

Son Goku leaned back slightly, dodging the blow with ease.

Seeing this, Cui continued to raise his fists, launching a barrage of attacks at Son Goku.

At this very moment, Son Goku raised his right fist and struck Cui heavily in the abdomen.

Cui let out a shrill scream, his body collapsing instantly.

Seeing this, Frieza immediately shouted to the soldiers surrounding them.

"What are you doing? Get in there and attack!"

"Hah!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding soldiers immediately charged toward Son Goku and the others.

Seeing this, Son Gohan immediately took the Shadow Battle Axe out from his system inventory.

"Shadow Battle Axe, eliminate them all for me!"

Receiving Son Gohan's command, the Shadow Battle Axe instantly transformed into a massive axe and swung toward the charging soldiers.

With a thunderous boom, a giant trench was carved into the ground, and a large number of soldiers fell into the chasm due to the earthquake caused by the Shadow Battle Axe.

Following this, the Shadow Battle Axe danced wildly through the air, unleashing massive waves of blade energy that rained down upon the soldiers.

Those soldiers were quickly wiped out by the blade energy unleashed by the Shadow Battle Axe.

Piccolo was startled and looked at Son Gohan, who was standing to the side.

"Gohan, where did you get this axe?"

"I picked it up off the ground!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Piccolo was left speechless.

Previously, when Son Gohan explained his transformation technique, he at least bothered to make up a story about a mysterious old man, but now he wasn't even trying, claiming he just picked it up off the ground.

"Picked it up off the ground? Where exactly did you find it, Gohan?"

Son Goku asked.

"Right on Mount Paozu!"

"Is that so!"

As Son Goku spoke, he looked at Frieza, who was sitting in a stroller.

"Frieza, all your subordinates have been defeated by us. I advise you to leave Namek."

Frieza let out a cold laugh.

"This is the first time I've heard someone tell me to leave someone else's planet!"

Son Goku snorted coldly.

"This was never your planet to begin with. Is there something wrong with telling you to leave?"

Frieza smiled and said.

"Interesting. This is the first time I've seen a guy as amusing as you. Can you tell me your name?"

"My name is Son Goku!"

"Son Goku!"

After hearing this, Frieza stroked his chin with his right hand.

"That doesn't sound like a Saiyan name."

"It is indeed not a Saiyan name, because I am a Saiyan who grew up on Earth!"

"A Saiyan who grew up on Earth? Does that mean you were the one who defeated Vegeta?"

"Mm!"

Son Goku nodded.

"So your name is Son Goku, is it? Then who are those two?"

"And who is that brat?"

"Mm!"

Son Goku nodded.

"What is his name?"

"His name is Son Gohan!"

"And what about that Namekian?"

"His name is Piccolo!"

"Then, Son Goku, can you tell me where the Namekians on this planet have gone?

If you are willing to tell me, I can let you take over the position of Captain Cui!"

Son Goku snorted coldly.

"Who would want to be your subordinate? Besides, even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you!"

"Is that so!"

Frieza let out a cold, mocking laugh after hearing this.

"In that case, I have no choice but to do it myself and force you to tell me!"

Just then, Son Gohan suddenly pointed at Frieza's hoverchair and asked.

"Uncle Piccolo, is that a baby carriage?"

"A baby carriage!"

Frieza glared at Son Gohan, his face twisted with rage.

By calling his chair a baby carriage, Son Gohan was clearly mocking his small stature!

"I think... it probably isn't!"

"Zhu..."

At that moment, Frieza pointed his right index finger at Son Gohan and fired a Death Beam.

The Shadow Battle Axe, hovering in mid-air, suddenly dove down from the sky and blocked the path in front of Son Gohan.

"Whoosh..."

The Death Beam struck the Shadow Battle Axe, but it was like raindrops falling into a river; it was absorbed by the weapon almost instantly.

"What!"

Frieza was startled.

His Death Beam could easily obliterate an entire mountain, yet when it struck the Shadow Battle Axe, there was absolutely no reaction at all.
