Piccolo saw this and silently said nothing.

Son Gohan had just said he would spare Frieza, but then turned around and eliminated him.

Where was his kindness?

Son Goku felt a little regretful when he saw this.

Frieza might not have been a good person, but he was incredibly powerful.

Just then, Son Gohan flew over from a distance.

"Dad, Uncle Piccolo, shall we head back?"

"Sure!"

Son Goku and Piccolo nodded at the same time.

"Wait!"

Just then, Vegeta suddenly spoke up.

"What is it, Vegeta?"

Son Goku asked.

"Kakarot, are you going back to Earth?"

"Yeah!"

Son Goku nodded.

"Then where's your spaceship?"

"We don't have one. Gohan used Instant Transmission to bring us here!"

"Instant Transmission?"

"Yeah. Simply put, it's a technique that lets you teleport by sensing someone's ki!"

"Kakarot, I heard that Namekian say Son Gohan can already transform into a Super Saiyan?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"I want to see a Super Saiyan for myself!"

"You want to fight Gohan?"

"..."

Vegeta fell silent at that.

Son Gohan could knock him out with a single finger. Fighting him would be nothing but asking to die.

"Kakarot, I mean I want to see Son Gohan transform!"

"Oh, so you're not asking to fight Gohan!"

Son Goku laughed.

"Then, Gohan, why don't you transform and show Vegeta?"

Son Gohan looked at Vegeta.

"You can see a Super Saiyan transformation, but I have one little condition!"

"What condition?"

"It's simple. You have to repeat after me!"

"Repeat after you?"

"Yeah!"

As Son Gohan spoke, his expression suddenly grew serious.

"To prevent the world from being destroyed, come on, Vegeta, repeat after me!"

"To... to prevent the world from being destroyed!"

Vegeta said stiffly.

"To protect the peace of the universe!"

"To... to protect the peace of the universe!"

Vegeta's face turned bright red.

It was his first time reciting such an embarrassing line, but he endured it for the sake of seeing a Super Saiyan.

"To carry out love and truth's evil!"

"To... to carry out love and truth's evil!"

"A cute and charming hero!"

"A... a cute and charming hero!"

"I am Son Gohan!"

"I... am Son Gohan!"

"Vegeta, you're supposed to say, 'I am Vegeta!'"

"I... am Vegeta!"

Vegeta gritted his teeth.

Seeing this, Son Goku immediately burst out laughing.

"Kakarot!"

Vegeta glared at Kakarot, furious.

"We are Team Rocket, traveling across the galaxy!"

"We... we are Team Rocket, traveling across the galaxy!"

"White Hole! A white tomorrow awaits us!"

"Wh... White Hole! A white tomorrow awaits us!"

"Exactly... meow..."

"Ex... exactly... meow..."

"Th... that's enough, right?"

Vegeta's face was now bright red.

If Raditz and the others were still alive and heard the lines he had just recited, they would probably laugh themselves to death.

"That's enough!"

"Then... Son Gohan, you can transform into a Super Saiyan for me now, right?"

"Yeah!"

Son Gohan nodded.

"Ha!"

With a loud shout, golden energy flared up around Son Gohan. His hair turned gold and stood upright, and his eyes turned pale green.

This was a Super Saiyan.

"Th... this is a Super Saiyan?"

Vegeta was stunned.

Son Gohan's ki was hundreds of times greater than Frieza's had been just moments ago.

Only now did he finally understand why Son Gohan had been so calm.

They weren't even in the same league!

Son Gohan immediately returned to his normal state.

"Dad, shall we head back?"

"Yeah!"

Son Goku nodded.

Son Gohan immediately shrank the Shadow Battle Axe to the size of his palm, then used Instant Transmission to take Son Goku and Piccolo away.

"Kakarot, Son Gohan, I'll train until I'm stronger and surpass you both!"

Vegeta clenched his fists and said to himself.

Earth.

Son Goku and the others had now returned to the forest where the Namekians had gathered.

Krillin saw them return and walked over.

"Goku, how was Namek?"

"Gohan defeated Frieza!"

"Defeated him!"

The Namekians standing nearby immediately came over when they heard this.

"Son Gohan really defeated Frieza?"

"Yeah!"

Son Goku nodded.

The Namekians immediately surrounded Son Gohan.

"Son Gohan, you're incredible!"

"Yeah! You defeated Frieza at just six years old. You'll definitely become even stronger!"

"It was nothing!"

Son Gohan smiled and scratched his head.

After hearing this, many of the younger Namekians also gathered around.

Dende from the original Dragon Ball story was among them.

"So, Goku, did you fight Frieza?"

"Yeah!"

Son Goku nodded.

"That guy was incredibly powerful. If Gohan hadn't been there, I'd probably have died at his hands!"

"Really? It's a shame I'm too weak. Otherwise, I'd really like to see what that guy looks like!"

Son Gohan gave an awkward laugh.

If Krillin knew that, in the original story, he died when Frieza used his psychic powers to make him explode, he probably wouldn't have said that.

"Also, I ran into Vegeta on Namek!"

"Vegeta?"

"Yeah! For some reason, that guy suddenly went to Namek!"

"Did he fight you?"

"No, and he wasn't a match for us either!"

"That makes sense!"

After chatting for a while, Son Gohan went to see the Grand Elder.

"Son Gohan, you're here!"

Son Gohan nodded.

"Grand Elder, I've already helped you defeat Frieza. But Frieza has a lot of subordinates, and I'm afraid they'll come after you for revenge. You should use your Dragon Balls to move your planet somewhere else!"

"Understood!"

The Grand Elder nodded.

"Then, Grand Elder, gather all the Namekians together. I'll use Instant Transmission to take you back!"

"All right. Sorry for the trouble!"

A little while later, all the Namekians had gathered together.

Using the clone he had left on Namek, Son Gohan used Instant Transmission to take them back to Namek.

"We're... we're back!"

Back on Namek, all the Namekians were incredibly excited.

Seeing this, Son Gohan used Instant Transmission to return to Earth.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The news of Frieza's death had already been reported by his subordinates to his father, King Cold.

But King Cold didn't believe that Frieza could have died at the hands of a Saiyan, so he ordered his men to go to Namek.
