Gohan broke free of the hold, his neck throbbing and his face flushed red. Being locked from behind was no pleasant experience. Even though he was not actually weaker than Zarbon, he still began gasping heavily.
At that moment, Piccolo had already charged forward to avenge Gohan.
"Vegeta, this one is mine!"
"Fine by me! If you don't kill him, I'll kill you!" Vegeta snorted, revealing a cruel smile.
He had faith in Piccolo's strength. Piccolo had defeated Nappa before, and after training in the gravity chamber for so long, dealing with a minor opponent like Zarbon, whose Battle Power barely exceeded thirty thousand, would take no effort at all.

It was an overwhelming surge of energy, deadly power!

What terrifying power!
His Battle Power was 32,000,
