Eliminate North Galaxy Pirates (3)

"I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly, Cooler."

Frieza looked at Cooler and said.

"Frieza, get off Longji Planet right now, and I might consider sparing your life."

Cooler said.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Frieza said.

"You had better transform into your final form first. You are no match for me in your first form, and of course, you won't be a match for me in your final form either!"

Cooler said.

"Damn it!"

Frieza shouted.

After shouting, Frieza began to power up.

One minute later.

"Cooler, prepare to die."

Frieza said after transforming into his final form.

"Foolish little brother, today I shall let you witness your older brother's true power!"

Cooler said.

"Bang!"

Frieza threw a punch at Cooler, but it hit nothing but air.

"Idiot, I'm behind you."

Cooler said.

"Snap!"

Frieza whipped his tail around, but again, it hit nothing.

"Bang!"

Cooler sent Frieza flying over a hundred meters away with a single punch.

"Long live King Cooler!"

"Long live King Cooler!"

The soldiers of the Cooler Force shouted.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Frieza fired several energy blasts at Cooler.

"Kaboom!"

The energy blasts struck Cooler, creating a cloud of dust.

"Oh ho ho ho, how does that taste, Cooler?"

Frieza said.

"Bang!"

Cooler burst out of the dust and punched Frieza in the abdomen, sending him flying over a hundred meters away.

"Bang, bang!"

Cooler caught up to Frieza and punched him into the air, then immediately followed him up to strike him back down to the ground.

"Damn it, Nova Strike!"

Frieza shouted.

After shouting, Frieza enveloped himself in energy and charged at Cooler.

"Death Dive!"

Cooler shouted.

Cooler also enveloped himself in energy and charged at Frieza.

"Boom!"

"Bang, bang, bang!"

After Cooler and Frieza collided, they continued to fight, though it was Frieza who was constantly on the receiving end of the beating.

"Bang!"

"Why did Father choose you to inherit the throne instead of me? What makes me inferior to you!"

Cooler said after sending Frieza flying with a punch.

"Bang!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After Cooler slammed Frieza into the ground with another punch, he fired several energy blasts at him.

"Tell me, in what way are you stronger than me?"

Cooler asked, gripping Frieza by the throat.

"Bang!"

Before Frieza could answer, Cooler kicked him flying with a single strike.

"Earth Splitting Slash!"

Frieza steadied himself, gathered energy between two fingers, and whipped it toward Cooler.

"Death Dive!"

Cooler enveloped himself in energy and charged at Frieza, slamming into him and sending him flying hundreds of meters away.

"Take Frieza and get off Longji Planet. If he dares to return, I will surely kill him."

Cooler looked at the unconscious Frieza and spoke to his arriving subordinates.

After speaking, Cooler went to find Zoro. Dodoria and the others loaded the unconscious Frieza onto a spaceship and departed Longji Planet, returning to Frieza Planet No. 2.

Five minutes later, at the Pirate Headquarters on Longji Planet.

"We owe our lives to Lord Cooler's arrival this time. Lord Cooler, these two million taels of gold and three hundred tons of energy stones are a small token of my appreciation. Please, accept them."

Zoro said, looking at Cooler, who was seated in the seat of honor.

"Brother Zoro is too kind. We are allies, and helping each other is only natural. However, although I helped you repel Frieza this time, he will surely return. How about this: I will station two regiments on Longji Planet. That way, even if Frieza comes back, these two regiments can hold him off until I arrive. What does Brother Zoro think?"

Cooler asked, looking at Zoro.

"Many thanks, Lord Cooler."

Zoro replied.

Although he knew this was Cooler's way of planting roots on Longji Planet, he could neither stop it nor prevent it. He still needed Cooler and his army to protect him from being wiped out by Frieza.

One hour later.

"Safe travels, Lord Cooler! Do come visit Longji Planet again!"

Zoro shouted, watching the spaceship depart.

Underground Laboratory.

"Dr. Cain, how is the development of the Shadow Armor coming along?"

Zoro led his men into the underground laboratory and asked an old man with white hair wearing a lab coat.

"Boss, it's still a bit off. With the current Shadow Armor, even if you wear it, you can only exert a combat power of two million. Just give me a little more time, and I can increase that from two million to twenty million, or even two hundred million."

Dr. Cain said.

"Good. You've worked hard, Cain. This hundred taels of gold is your bonus. If you can enable me to exert two hundred million in combat power while wearing the Shadow Armor, I will not only reward you with a thousand taels of gold, but I will also grant you a planet of your own."

Zoro said.

"I will give my life to help you become the strongest in the universe, Boss."

Dr. Cain replied.

Zoro then left the underground laboratory.

"Report, Prince Leige, an unidentified fleet has been detected ahead."

Tagoma arrived outside Leige's room and shouted.

"Another unidentified fleet? How unlucky. This is the second time we've encountered one. Could it be space pirates again?"

Leige walked out of his room, speaking to Tagoma as they walked.

"Listen up, Frieza Force! We are the 45th Regiment under Lord Cooler. If you know what's good for you, get out of our way, or we will wipe you out!"

The Cooler Force personnel shouted over the spaceship's broadcast system.

"It's the Cooler Force! Prince Leige, do we fight or retreat?"

Tagoma asked, looking at Leige.

"A wise man waits for his revenge. Let them pass."

Leige said.

Leige did not know if Cooler was on that ship, so he could not act recklessly. He was not yet a match for Cooler.

"Report, Prince Leige, an urgent telegram from Lord Dodoria of the 5th Regiment."

A soldier approached Leige and said.

"Read it."

Leige commanded.

"At 10:00 on February 22nd, the 5th Regiment arrived at Longji Planet, but the Cooler Force arrived before us. The King and Cooler clashed, resulting in the King being severely wounded and falling unconscious. Lord Dodoria is currently commanding the 5th Regiment in the King's stead. The 5th Regiment has already withdrawn from Longji Planet and is returning to Frieza Planet No. 2. Additionally, Lord Dodoria orders our forces to return to Frieza Planet No. 2."

The soldier spoke.

"Understood, you may leave."

Leige said.

After speaking, Leige led the Fourth Legion back to Frieza Planet No. 2.

February 24th, the throne room of the Planet Frieza palace.

"Lord, the Fourth Legion has returned."

Dodoria said to Frieza.

Frieza had already recovered from his injuries.

"I am aware. Summon Leige and the others to see me."

Frieza said.

"Yes."

Dodoria said.

Dodoria left to find Leige and his men.

Ten minutes later, in the throne room.

"Greetings, Father King, long live the King!"

Leige knelt on one knee in salute.

"Greetings, Lord, long live the Lord!"

Tagoma and Shisami also knelt on one knee in salute.

"Rise."

Frieza said.

"Thank you, Father King."

"Thank you, Lord."

Leige, Tagoma, and the others said.

"Leige, you have performed meritorious service by slaying Shaviza and annihilating the 39th Regiment of the Cooler Force. I hereby appoint you as the Commander of the 1st Regiment, 3rd Brigade, 5th Division, 2nd Army, Fourth Legion of the Frieza Force, and grant you a reward of fifty taels of gold."

Frieza said.

"Thank you, Father King."

Leige knelt on one knee in salute.

"Leige, I hope you continue to strive for excellence."

Frieza said, helping Leige to his feet.

"This son will not let Father King down."

Leige said.

"Tagoma, Shisami, you also performed meritorious service by following Leige to annihilate the 39th Regiment of the Cooler Force. I appoint Tagoma as the Battalion Commander of the 3rd Battalion, 1st Regiment, 3rd Brigade, 5th Division, 2nd Army, Fourth Legion of the Frieza Force, with a reward of ten taels of gold. I appoint Shisami as the Battalion Commander of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Regiment, 3rd Brigade, 5th Division, 2nd Army, Fourth Legion of the Frieza Force, with a reward of ten taels of gold. You shall continue to serve under Leige."

Frieza said.

"Thank you, Lord."

Tagoma and Shisami said.

"Leige, you may go and rest. Tagoma, Shisami, you two stay behind."

Frieza said.

"Did Leige truly kill Shaviza?"

Frieza asked, looking at Tagoma and Shisami.

"Reporting to the Lord, Prince Leige did indeed kill Shaviza."

Shisami said.

"I heard that Shaviza possessed a combat power of 170,000. That Leige was actually able to kill him is truly beyond my expectations."

Frieza said.

"Lord, Prince Leige set an ambush in the Nisan Valley on Kara Planet and used two divisions of soldiers to kill Shaviza, though Prince Leige did exchange several blows with him as well."

"Previously on Ice Flame Planet, Leige and Zarbon encountered space pirates. Zarbon was killed by them, yet Leige managed to survive. You must know that Zarbon's combat power after transforming is 32,000. Could it be that Leige has been hiding his true combat power all along?"

Frieza said.

"Lord, this subordinate also feels that Prince Leige seems to be hiding his combat power."

Tagoma said.

"Tagoma, Shisami, you are to continue following Leige and keep him under surveillance. If Leige shows any sign of disloyalty toward me, report it to me immediately."

Frieza said.

"Yes."

Tagoma and Shisami replied.

Prince's Palace.

"Reporting to Prince Leige, Dr. Xue Ka requests an audience."

A soldier spoke to Leige from outside his room.

"Understood."

Leige said after stepping out of his room.

Dr. Xue Ka was a scientist specifically handpicked for Leige by Xue Li, and one of the five greatest scientists on Ice Flame Planet.

"This subordinate greets Prince Leige."

A white-haired man in red robes knelt on one knee to salute.

"Please rise, Dr. Xue Ka."

Leige helped Xue Ka up and said.

"Thank you, Prince Leige."

Xue Ka said.

"Dr. Xue Ka, have you come to see This Prince because the gravity device is finished?"

Leige asked.

"Prince Leige, the gravity device is complete. Once activated, it can alter the surrounding gravity. However, the maximum setting is currently three hundred times; it cannot go any higher for now. This subordinate will work to increase it beyond three hundred times as soon as possible."

Xue Ka explained.

"Good. Dr. Xue Ka, this ten taels of gold is your reward."

Leige said, handing the gold to Xue Ka.

"Thank you, Prince Leige."

Xue Ka replied.

Afterward, Leige returned to his Prince's Palace.

Prince's Palace, training grounds.

"I'll start with ten times gravity. Although I spent two years on Planet Vegeta, I've been away for over a year now. I'm not sure if I can still handle ten times gravity."

Leige said.

With that, Leige used the gravity device to set the training ground to ten times gravity.

"Damn it! It seems I really have been away from Planet Vegeta for too long. Even though my combat power has reached 1.6 million, I'm really struggling with this ten times gravity."

Leige remarked.

In one month, Leige's combat power had jumped from 800,000 to 1.6 million, doubling his strength.

One hour later.

"The Legendary Super Saiyan trait is truly amazing. I've adapted to ten times gravity in just an hour. I'll jump straight to fifty times gravity now."

Leige said.

"Host, you are still growing. If you engage in such high-intensity training, you might not grow any taller in the future."

Xiao Bai advised.

"Thanks, Xiao Bai. I'll be careful."

Leige replied.

Leige then adjusted the gravity to twenty times.

February 26th, 7:00 AM, Prince's Palace.

"Prince Leige, the King has ordered this subordinate to inform you to attend a meeting in the conference room at 8:00 AM."
