Piccolo's Moment to Shine!

Piccolo put Gohan down somewhere safe, then took off his battle robe and hat.

In truth, during the past six months, Piccolo had trained with Gohan in the early stages. But in the final two months, he received word from Namek: the Grand Elder did not have much time left, and Nail and the others needed him to return to Namek to help.

The Grand Elder asked Piccolo to go to Namek and had him take away the most gifted child of their clan—Dende—to live on Earth. He also had Nail fuse with Piccolo, saying this was something foretold in prophecy.

Nail was actually very grateful to Li Feng, Piccolo, and the others for resolving Namek's crisis last time, and he agreed to fuse with Piccolo, with Piccolo's will taking the lead.

Although Piccolo was unwilling to fuse at first, under the sincere requests of the Grand Elder and Nail, he had no choice but to agree in the end.

In this Universe A1807, Piccolo still fused with Nail. In the unseen, there seemed to be a force correcting the world.

After Piccolo fused, the Grand Elder passed away not long after. According to their agreement, Piccolo still took Dende back to the Lookout on Earth and told the Guardian of Earth about Namek.

After fusing, Piccolo became even stronger than he had been in the original work when he had just fused, and his personality also grew gentler. The evil air about him lessened as well.

While they were talking at the Lookout, they suddenly sensed two terrifying auras descending upon Earth. Piccolo immediately rushed to the battlefield as well, concealing his battle power.

Seeing Gohan grow stronger and erupt with power, Piccolo still felt deeply gratified.

But in the end, Gohan was still no match for Cooler. He was severely injured and brutalized, and Piccolo could not endure it any longer. At last, he made his move.

At this moment, Piccolo's battle power was as high as three million!

"Hm? A Namekian?"

Cooler's tail throbbed with pain. He looked up and saw a coolly posing green-skinned man rescue that brat. When he realized this was actually a Namekian with mysterious power, he could not help feeling surprised.

"Everyone of you from Frieza's clan deserves to die!"

Piccolo said coldly.

His own power had grown so much stronger. Although the enemy before him was terrifying, he still had to fight.

"Big words."

Cooler said disdainfully, and in an instant, charged toward Piccolo again.

"Hah!"

Piccolo also wanted to test the new power he had gained. He erupted with white aura and crashed toward Cooler.

Boom!

The two exchanged fists, once again erupting with astonishing energy and a terrifying aura.

"Da! Da! Da! Da! ..."

Piccolo's aura kept rising, and his speed and strength climbed with it, faintly suppressing Cooler.

"Hmph. You're a little stronger than that brat, but it's still not enough. Call out the Saiyan who really killed Frieza!"

"Shut up!"

Piccolo was secretly shocked. He had thought that after raising his battle power, he would be very strong, but after exchanging blows, his bones were aching faintly. In terms of physical toughness, he and Cooler were simply not on the same level.

The two fought in the air, their figures constantly crossing. They were so fast they could not be seen; only the deafening impacts when they collided and the astonishing bursts of energy remained.

"Is that all?"

Cooler said disdainfully. His aura also kept increasing, overtaking Piccolo's, and then he sent Piccolo flying with a strike of his tail.

"Cough! Ah!"

Piccolo painfully spat out blood. His chest felt as if it had been struck by a planet. His ribs snapped, and his whole body was smashed into the ground. With a boom, the earth shook, rocks flew, and the terrifying impact formed a massive earthquake.

"Damn... bastard!"

Piccolo was unwilling to accept it.

He had thought that after training and fusing, he would become very strong. Though he had indeed become many times stronger, he was still far, far from Li Feng's state after transforming into a Super Saiyan! He had originally been no match for Sun Wukong, then later Li Feng, Frieza, and now Cooler, as well as King Cold watching like a tiger from the side... More and more people were becoming stronger than him!

Piccolo was also a proud warrior. His heart would not allow him to admit defeat to anyone!

"Hah!"

Piccolo forced himself up and erupted with aura again.

Boom!

The boulders on his body were shattered.

"Take this!"

Whoosh!

Piccolo crossed his hands and dropped into a horse stance. An astonishing aura swept out.

"Heh heh heh. Struggle with all you've got."

Cooler's tail swayed back and forth, shattering the mountain peak beside him as he said disdainfully.

No matter what technique Piccolo used, it would all be futile before absolute power.

"Hah!"

Piccolo spread his hands, his aura swelling to the limit.

Then yellow energy blasts condensed in both his hands, and he hurled them madly at Cooler!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!—

The energy blasts slammed into Cooler, letting out deafening roars!

Piccolo also unleashed Prince Trick!

In an instant, rocks flew wildly across the battlefield, and smoke and dust billowed everywhere.

"So... so strong! Has Piccolo really gotten that powerful now?"

Seeing Piccolo's barrage instantly swallow Cooler, and feeling the overwhelming aura it gave off, Krillin could not help being shocked.

After a while, the thick smoke dispersed, the dust settled, and the figure within the haze became clear.

Cooler was still standing there calmly, without even the slightest wound on his body.

"What's wrong, Namekian? Is this all you're capable of?"

"Hmph. Take a look around you!"

The corners of Piccolo's mouth lifted slightly. In truth, while he had seemed frenzied just now, he had actually been extremely cautious. He knew that barrage of random attacks could not harm Cooler at all; it was only meant to draw his attention and confuse his vision. His real follow-up had been quietly prepared.

All around Cooler, floating yellow energy blasts had surrounded him one after another!

While Piccolo had been training, he had also been pondering how to develop a new special move of his own.

"Hellzone Grenade!"

That was right, it was Hellzone Grenade. In the original world, this move was only used later during the battle against Android 17. In this world, Piccolo had developed the same technique as well, only much earlier.

"What?"

Cooler was shocked. He had not expected that he had actually been surrounded.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!—

At that moment, over a hundred energy blasts smashed toward Cooler all at once and detonated together, their force like multiple nuclear bombs exploding. The power was astonishing, several times stronger than the earlier Prince Trick combo!

Even Cooler, without using his full strength, was caught off guard this time!

After the deafening roar and the nuclear-bomb-like bombardment, Cooler's figure still stood tall, but the calm, effortless look on his face had vanished—because his skin had actually been grazed!

"Damn Namekian. You will pay a heavy price for your ignorance!"

Cooler gnashed his teeth and said furiously.

His perfect body had actually been wounded? To the Frost Demon race, this was simply an utter disgrace!

"Ha!"

This time, Cooler was truly enraged. After a loud shout, he erupted with an astonishing aura. Purple flames of energy spread open in an instant, burning the air, and his power surged in like an overwhelming tide.

"I'm going to kill you!"

Cooler intended to finish Piccolo off.

"Hmph. So it really still won't work, huh? Looks like I can only rely on this move."

Piccolo still had another card to play!
