Bang!!
With a powerful kick, Son Goku was sent flying into the sea beyond the island.
Piccolo: "Gohan, your father's already given it everything he's got. I think you should step in."
"Wait a little longer!"
"Wait?"
"Ah!"
Just then, a towering wave surged across the sea, stirred up by a powerful aura.
The aura belonged to Son Goku, who had fallen into the sea.
"Huff... huff..."
Son Goku gasped for breath, standing wearily on the surface of the water.
Vegeta clenched his teeth as he watched.
"That Kakarot still has energy left!"
Frieza let out his distinctive sneer.
"Son Goku, struggling with all your might is useless. You're no match for me anymore!"
"I know. But I still want to give it everything I've got and see how we do!"
Frieza sneered.
"If that's what you want, then show me everything you've got!"
Son Goku nodded, clenched both fists, and a red aura rose around him.
"20x Kaio-ken!"
With a loud shout, Son Goku's body turned into a red streak of light and charged at Frieza.
Bang!!
Frieza was startled. Before he could react, Son Goku punched him into the air.
Taking advantage of the opening, Son Goku quickly brought his hands together behind him and gathered a blue energy wave, then fired it at Frieza.
Frieza, knocked into the air, halted and raised a hand to block Son Goku's energy wave.
When the wave faded, Frieza still held his right hand aloft. A layer of charred matter covered his palm, and he glared at Son Goku in fury.
He'd been injured—and by the Saiyan he hated most.
At the thought, Frieza raised his index finger, ready to attack Son Goku.
"That's enough!"
Gohan flashed to Son Goku's side.
Son Goku was gasping for breath, his body utterly drained.
"Gohan!"
Gohan nodded.
"Dad, leave the rest to me!"
"All right!"
Gohan nodded.
Frieza sneered.
"Kid, you're Son Goku's son, aren't you?"
"Yeah. So what?"
"Nothing. It just means all you Saiyans have gathered in one place, so I can wipe you all out at once!"
Gohan smiled.
"We'll see if you're capable of that!"
"Damn you!"
Frieza roared in anger and fired a rapid succession of Death Beams at Gohan with his right index finger.
Gohan used Instant Transmission, taking Son Goku to the Shadow Battle Axe.
"What?!"
Frieza was startled.
Gohan had teleported to the Shadow Battle Axe right under his nose.
"Damn you!"
Frieza roared and fired a rapid succession of Death Beams at the Shadow Battle Axe.
At once, hundreds of Shadow Battle Axes appeared in front of it, forming a circular shield.
Frieza's Death Beams struck the shield and were instantly absorbed by the conjured Shadow Battle Axes.
Gohan used Instant Transmission, appearing in front of Frieza.
Frieza was startled, his expression growing serious.
Gohan took a deep breath and spat out three white ghosts that looked just like him.
They were Gum Ghosts.
Son Goku stared in surprise.
"Piccolo, what are those?"
"I... I'm not sure either!"
Frieza was just as surprised.
It was the first time he'd ever seen a technique like that.
Gohan: "Count off!"
The three Gum Ghosts heard him, lined up neatly, and began counting.
"One, two, three!"
Frieza had no idea what Gohan was planning, but he wasn't about to let him get his way. He gathered an energy wave in his right hand and fired it at Gohan's Gum Ghosts.
Gohan flashed aside and dodged.
Boom!!
The energy wave exploded on the ground, and thick clouds of smoke rose at once.
All three of Gohan's Gum Ghosts dodged the blast and rushed toward Frieza like the wind.
Frieza sneered and flashed in front of the three ghosts, swinging his right fist at one of them.
Bang!
The instant Frieza's fist struck the Gum Ghost, a smile appeared on its face.
Then its entire body glowed with golden light and exploded.
The other two Gum Ghosts immediately charged into the blast and touched Frieza.
Boom! Boom!!
The two Gum Ghosts exploded, and Frieza soon let out a piercing scream.
After a while, the smoke from the explosions cleared. Frieza lay on the ground, covered in injuries, a trace of blood at his mouth.
He glared at Gohan in indescribable fury.
Since birth, he'd never been so badly injured—and the one who'd hurt him was a Saiyan brat.
At the thought, Frieza climbed to his feet.
"Frieza, you're no match for me. I advise you to leave this planet."
"Not your match!"
Frieza flew into a rage.
"Leave?"
Vegeta was stunned.
Gohan actually intended to let Frieza go.
Piccolo thought the same.
Namek was his home planet, and Frieza had come there to seize the Dragon Balls. Naturally, Piccolo despised him.
Besides, Frieza was incredibly powerful and dangerous. If Gohan let him go now, he'd surely come back for revenge.
But Vegeta and Piccolo had it wrong. Gohan had said he would spare Frieza because he knew Son Goku had a compassionate side. If he said that, Son Goku would think he was kind.
But as a devoted Dragon Ball fan, he knew Frieza wouldn't accept his "kindness."
Like Vegeta, Frieza had an extraordinarily strong sense of pride.
"Mm-hmm!"
Gohan nodded.
"Whoosh..."
Just then, Frieza clenched both fists and charged at Gohan.
Gohan flashed behind Frieza in an instant and kicked him into the air.
Then he quickly brought his hands together behind him and called out:
"Ka... me... ha... me... ha!"
A deep blue energy wave gathered in Gohan's hands and shot toward Frieza in the sky.
Bang!!
Frieza was startled and hurriedly raised his arms to block the Kamehameha.
"Ha!"
Gohan shouted and thrust both hands forward with all his strength.
Rumble!!
A tremendous explosion rang out as the Kamehameha detonated in the sky.
"No!"
Frieza screamed as the powerful blast tore his body apart.
After a while, everything in the sky had settled.
Vegeta stared blankly at the sky.
"D-did we... eliminate him?"
