Leave it to You

Li Lin knew what everyone was thinking and said helplessly, "Forget about the rest for now. Does anyone have any clothes? Throw me a set!"

At this moment, the two sides were locked in a tense standoff, and standing there stark naked was just too bizarre.

Krillin fished a Hoi-Poi Capsule from his person; it was the aircraft from earlier. "There are custom-made martial arts uniforms inside. Take one and see if it fits!"

Li Lin snatched it up, opened the aircraft, and ducked inside, bare-bottomed, to hunt for clothes.

However, just as he got inside, he poked his head back out and said to Piccolo, "Dealing with these Androids should be a piece of cake for you. Teach them a real lesson!"

Upon hearing Li Lin's words, Piccolo was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curled upward.

His original purpose for coming was to assist Li Lin.

Now, he could finally unleash his full strength.

These past few days had been driving him stir-crazy!

The expressions on the Androids' faces were now extremely ugly.

Li Lin alone had already left them helpless, and now a whole group had arrived.

Although they couldn't match Li Lin in strength, in the current situation, it was undoubtedly adding insult to injury!

"Oh, right." Li Lin had just gone back in when he suddenly popped his head out again. "If you can defeat Piccolo, I'll consider the previous matter wiped clean!"

After saying this, he dove back into the aircraft to start searching for the clothes.

When Android 17 heard this, his expression turned ecstatic.

He felt a wave of gratitude toward Li Lin, believing he had just handed them an opportunity.

He had fought this guy Piccolo before, and he was the type who had been taken down in a single blow.

With him as an opponent, what suspense could there be? Wasn't this just a freebie?

After the excitement passed, Android 17 looked at Piccolo indifferently. "Don't worry, I'll go easy on you. I won't hurt you!"

"Hmph!" Piccolo let out a cold laugh at these words and retorted, "Hurt me? You aren't worthy!"

Android 17 didn't take it to heart; he assumed Piccolo was just all talk.

After all, just a few days ago, he had been beaten so badly he couldn't even crawl, so even if he had trained desperately these past few days, how much could he have really improved?

"Since you're so confident, let's begin. Let's make this quick!"

Android 17 lowered his stance, readying himself for an attack.

Piccolo looked at him impassively and said in a low voice, "We'd better go somewhere else. Let's not disturb the others!"

Although the area was sparsely populated, there were still a few households living nearby.

Since merging with Kami, Piccolo had become much kinder, and he didn't want his battle to affect any innocent people.

"Fine!" Android 17's original intention was to finish this quickly so he could leave immediately.

Besides, with Li Lin around, he wasn't sure he could really let loose!

The group didn't hesitate; they moved in a flash, instantly departing the area.

Their speed was immense, and after flying for only a minute, they arrived at a small island nearly a hundred miles away.

"Will he come over?"

Android 18 slowly descended, looking back in the direction they had come, thinking to herself.

Today had truly been a very "meaningful" day for her.

In all the time she had lived, this was the first time she had seen a man standing before her with absolutely nothing on.

Android 16 stood to the side, his expression as calm as water.

As long as he wasn't facing Li Lin, he could maintain absolute composure and indifference among these people!

The group from Earth slowly descended opposite them.

Piccolo looked at Android 17 with sharp eyes, reached for his collar, and gave it a hard tug.

The heavy white weighted cape he wore was tossed heavily to the ground at his feet.

Android 17 watched Piccolo's movements with a smile, a flash of contempt in his eyes as he said lightly, "You certainly look the part. Come on then!"

He crooked his finger at Piccolo, signaling him to attack.

Piccolo didn't get angry; instead, he glanced at Android 18 and Android 16 behind him.

Seeing that they had no intention of joining the fray, he smiled slightly, thinking to himself.

Excellent. If I take care of this brat, Cell won't be able to evolve into his perfect form. As for the rest of the work, I can leave it to Li Lin or Goku.

Thinking this, Piccolo decided not to wait any longer.

"Haa!" With a roar, the white aura around his body surged instantly.

Powerful shockwaves whistled continuously across the sea, and the entire island trembled.

Is this Piccolo's power? Although it can't compare to Li Lin's, it's still terrifyingly strong.

Krillin felt the storm and spoke with excitement.

The others clearly sensed this power as well.

Li Lin, who had just changed into a red martial arts uniform, also felt this energy and was quite surprised. Whoa, so this is Piccolo's energy? It really is astonishing!

After a brief exclamation, Li Lin shrunk his flight device into a capsule and tucked it away.

He then turned and took to the sky, heading toward the location of their battle.

On the island serving as the battlefield.

Android 17 was shocked by Piccolo's strength; although they, as Androids, possessed no energy themselves, they could clearly perceive the energy of others.

The energy Piccolo was releasing now was several times stronger than it had been when they clashed a few days ago.

"How on earth did this guy manage this?"

While he was still stunned, Piccolo had already pushed his energy to its peak.

In a sudden flash, he appeared behind him.

Piccolo struck out with an elbow, aiming for his back.

"Bang!"

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Android 17 was unable to parry and nearly collapsed to the ground.

He had just turned his head when Piccolo, relentless and giving him no chance to react, smashed a fist into his face. "Bang!"

Android 17 stumbled back five or six paces, and Piccolo pressed his advantage, unleashing a flurry of punches and kicks.

For a moment, he held the upper hand.

Gradually, Android 17 began to adapt and found his rhythm again.

As Piccolo swung a punch, Android 17 caught his wrist and muttered, "Don't get too carried away!"

With that, he countered with a punch of his own, slamming it into Piccolo's chest and sending him flying instantly.

Piccolo steadied himself in the air and accelerated, charging back in.

Then, the two began a close-quarters brawl!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sky suddenly erupted with sounds like muffled thunder!

Piccolo's offensive was extremely fierce, and Android 17 was forced to parry constantly!

Yet, it appeared the former still held the upper hand, maintaining a sense of suppression.

The next second, Piccolo caught Android 17 off guard with a kick.

Unable to react in time, Android 17 was sent flying, crashing heavily into the ground.

Piccolo followed up, his palm already aimed at him.

As Android 17 stood up, he saw a golden light flashing in the center of Piccolo's palm.

A powerful Ki Blast erupted forth.

"Boom!"

The island shuddered violently, leaving the ground covered in rubble and billowing smoke.

After the explosion, Android 17 was nowhere to be seen on the ground.

He was now hovering in the air; although he had evaded the attack, the look on his face showed he had sustained some damage.

A trickle of blood ran from the corner of his mouth!
