[What kind of confidence does this guy have?]
Piccolo did not know what Ron's true purpose was, and he found it even harder to understand how Ron, having been trapped on a primitive planet for twenty-five years and having just arrived on Namek, could be so certain that Kakarot was currently battling Frieza.
There were too many mysteries, and for a moment, Piccolo could not make sense of it all, feeling only a sense of chaos.
However, after staring at Ron for a long time, he suddenly let his guard down.
Although he had many questions in his heart, he chose to trust Ron for the time being.
If for no other reason, since this guy was a Saiyan, his target must also be Frieza!
Even if they were to become opponents later, they shared a common enemy for now.
"I will believe your words for now. I hope you aren't lying to us! Otherwise, no matter how strong you are, I will make you pay the price." This was Piccolo's final warning.
As his voice fell, Piccolo raised his hand and used his unique ability to change Ron into a set of Earth-style casual sportswear.
Feeling the sensation of restriction vanish, Ron looked at the decent-looking athletic wear and revealed a faint smile.
"Finally, I don't have to be as uncomfortable as before. My thanks."
After thanking Piccolo, Ron looked at his stern expression and continued, "Rest assured, I can guarantee that I have no malice toward you. You can surely deduce that my target is also Frieza!"
As he spoke, Ron looked toward the battlefield.
Piccolo, Krillin, and Son Gohan followed his gaze, each harboring their own thoughts.
At this moment, because of Ron's arrival, they had overlooked one thing: just a moment ago, Piccolo had been urging Krillin and Son Gohan to flee quickly.
"That guy Kakarot is no match for Frieza; he will be defeated soon," Ron's voice rang out again.
This startled Piccolo, Krillin, and Son Gohan, leaving them stunned once more.
"You—how can you say that?! My dad won't lose!" Son Gohan retorted in his youthful yet firm voice.
This caused Ron to laugh out loud: "Kakarot has raised a good son. Not bad, you have courage; at the very least, you show no cowardice in the face of Frieza."
Facing Ron's praise, Son Gohan felt as if he had bumped into a soft marshmallow.
His initially angry mood dissipated quite a bit.
When someone speaks to you politely, how can you lose your temper with them?
He actually knew that his father had already fallen into a disadvantageous position and that if the fight continued, he might truly lose; otherwise, Uncle Piccolo wouldn't have told Uncle Krillin to take him and flee.
But in order to defend his father, he simply refused to admit it.
"Gohan, don't get excited. Let him finish what he has to say." Piccolo stepped forward and reached out to pat Son Gohan's head, helping him calm down.
Krillin also stared straight at Ron.
Of course, his gaze still drifted toward the battlefield from time to time.
Because of the distance, they couldn't hear what Son Goku and Frieza were saying.
Judging by their energy, the battle was not over and would continue.
"That guy Kakarot must be using a technique that burns his life force and potential to boost his strength in a short time, right? This technique is indeed not simple; it's on par with my Blood Burning Technique! However, Frieza's strength is far beyond what you are seeing right now. I can sense that Kakarot is reaching his limit. His final combat power cannot exceed 60 million! And Frieza's final combat power is 120 million! Such a massive gap is not as simple as just doubling one's strength; I imagine you can understand that."
Ron's first half clarified Son Goku's situation.
The second half used a data comparison so that Piccolo, Krillin, and Son Gohan could understand more clearly.
The result was, naturally, highly effective.
Upon hearing these numbers, they were shocked beyond measure.
"1... 120 million!!"
"This, how is this possible?!"
Krillin and Son Gohan trembled all over, unable to even fathom it.
They knew that their potential had been unlocked by the Grand Elder, and their combat power had only reached ten thousand or so. Even if their potential continued to be released afterward and their strength had increased many times over, it was at most a few tens of thousands...
Even if Gohan had a massive outburst of power due to anger, at most, it would be a few hundred thousand.
As for Piccolo, no matter how strong he was, he likely only exceeded one million.
"Frieza's final strength actually reaches the hundreds of millions?! So we have been played by him from the very beginning!" Piccolo clenched his fists, filled with extreme resentment and unwillingness.
Even though he had already guessed what the outcome might be, he had never imagined the gap would be this vast.
"You don't need to be so afraid or worried. To you, the current Frieza is indeed a terrifying existence that is difficult to defeat, but to me, Frieza is nothing more than that." Ron narrowed his eyes, his smile filled with confidence and mockery.
"You—what did you say?"
Ron's words clearly shocked Krillin, Son Gohan, and Piccolo once again.
To know that Frieza's combat power was 120 million and yet still be able to say such things.
What did this mean?
Ron's combat power exceeded Frieza's!
Because of the direct impact of the numbers, Piccolo, Krillin, and Son Gohan's perception of Ron shifted once more.
Fear!
That's right!
It was deep, profound fear.
They dared not doubt him, for since Ron knew these things so clearly, he must be absolutely certain.
At this moment, Piccolo in particular felt immensely grateful that he hadn't made a move.
Otherwise, they would likely have already been wiped out by Ron.
The man's strength was far beyond anything he could compare himself to.
No wonder that even with Ron standing right before him, he couldn't perceive the limits of his power in the slightest.
With such a massive gap, how could he possibly see through Ron if he chose to hide it?
He couldn't even see through the current limits of Son Goku's power!
"There are some things I won't say too much about; after all, if I say too much, you might think I'm just bragging... Besides, the most exciting moment of this battle is about to begin, and I, too, want to see just how far Kakarot can break through."
As his voice faded, Ron focused his entire attention on the island ahead.
The conversation between Son Goku and Frieza had finally come to an end.
One could clearly feel an even more powerful force erupting from Son Goku's body.
In one breath, he surpassed his previous limits, his terrifying power causing the earth to tremble and the sky to grow dim.
Having reached this level of strength, he could now easily influence atmospheric pressure with his own ki.
It was undoubtedly the twenty-fold Kaioken!
Son Goku's combat power had reached 60 million.
This level of combat power not only matched Frieza, who was using fifty percent of his strength, but his aura was powerful enough to completely suppress Frieza's own.
Frieza was caught off guard for a moment, and once again, he suffered a relentless barrage of strikes from Son Goku.
