1v2! Raditz vs. Son Goku, Piccolo

Wu Fei could sense the fluctuations in the auras ahead growing increasingly distinct.

Very soon, he caught sight of several figures.

One was tall and imposing, with green skin—it was none other than King Piccolo!

The other wore an orange martial arts uniform and had a determined gaze. It was clearly Son Goku.

However, neither of them was in good condition.

They panted heavily, their clothes battered into tatters, looking thoroughly bedraggled.

King Piccolo was worse off by comparison. He had only one arm left!

His left arm had been severed at the shoulder.

Son Goku and King Piccolo were both staring intently at the same person.

The man was powerfully built, with waist-length hair and a scouter over one eye.

Most striking of all was the brown-black tail coiled around his waist!

It was exactly like Son Goku's when he was young!

And a tail was the mark of a Saiyan!

At that moment, Raditz gazed mockingly at Son Goku and King Piccolo, his eyes filled with disdain.

The three had just gone through a fierce battle.

Son Goku and King Piccolo were already exhausted, their auras unstable.

Yet Raditz looked as though nothing had happened, his expression calm and his aura steady and powerful.

Clearly, even with the two strongest fighters on Earth joining forces, Son Goku and King Piccolo were no match for Raditz.

"Hehehe~"

Raditz laughed arrogantly.

"Kakarot, give up resisting!"

"As long as you meet my demands and join me, I'll let bygones be bygones!"

"We can rule this planet together!"

Raditz still wanted to recruit Son Goku!

"I'm not Kakarot. I'm Son Goku!"

"And Earth is where I grew up. I won't let her be destroyed by an evil person like you!"

"I will protect Earth!"

Son Goku declared loudly, his gaze unwavering.

Then he lowered his body and shot forward, charging straight at Raditz.

"Since you refuse to listen time and again, I don't need to care about brotherly ties anymore!"

Raditz's face darkened, and his gaze turned cold.

He showed not the slightest concern toward the charging Son Goku.

"Since I'm bored anyway, I'll have some fun with you!"

Bang!

Raditz's fist collided with Son Goku's. Raditz did not budge an inch, while Son Goku was sent staggering back three steps.

"That's it?" Raditz sneered.

Son Goku looked unconvinced. "I'm not done yet!"

He immediately launched another attack at Raditz.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Son Goku and Raditz became locked in close combat.

But the gap in their strength was simply too great. Son Goku fought with extreme difficulty, while Raditz handled him with ease.

"Son Goku, can you keep him occupied for a few minutes?"

In the midst of battle, Son Goku heard King Piccolo's voice from afar.

"No problem!"

"Don't underestimate me!"

Son Goku shouted back, gritting his teeth as he held on.

"I originally intended to use this move against you, but now I can only use it ahead of time," King Piccolo murmured.

He then raised his index and middle fingers and pressed them to his forehead.

Light continuously flashed at his fingertips, while King Piccolo's aura surged higher and higher!

"This move can definitely defeat that Saiyan!"

Piccolo's face was filled with confidence.

Raditz, who was fighting Son Goku, also noticed what Piccolo was doing.

He knew perfectly well that Piccolo was gathering energy and preparing to unleash a powerful move.

Even so, he dismissed it with contempt.

"That green-skinned guy only has a power level of 408, and I just tore off one of his arms."

"Even if he uses his ultimate move, I can easily block it!"

All Saiyans shared the same flaw: extreme arrogance!

Rather than trying to end the battle quickly, Raditz deliberately eased up on his attacks, fighting Son Goku while waiting for Piccolo to finish gathering energy.

"I want to see just how powerful your ultimate move really is."

"Hahaha~"

Raditz's laughter was full of disdain.

Gradually, Raditz sensed that something was wrong.

Piccolo's power level had originally been only 408, but the number on the Scouter was steadily rising.

Piccolo's power level had already risen to 550!

"How is that possible?"

For a moment, Raditz suspected that the Scouter was broken.

But he could clearly feel that Piccolo's aura had indeed grown stronger.

Bang!

Facing Son Goku's attack, Raditz threw a fierce punch forward, sending Son Goku flying.

Boom!

Son Goku was forced back again and again, only stopping after crashing into a large tree and knocking it over.

Seeing Son Goku sprawled on the ground, Piccolo grew somewhat worried.

He was afraid that Son Goku would not be able to hold on, leaving him unable to finish gathering energy.

"Son Goku! Just hold on a little longer!" Piccolo said anxiously.

Son Goku truly was a man with his durability stat maxed out. Even after taking such a powerful blow, he immediately got back to his feet.

He brushed the dust off himself and resumed his fighting stance.

"I can still fight!" Son Goku shouted back.

Seeing this, Piccolo continued focusing on gathering energy.

"His power level has risen to 700?"

Raditz's face was now filled with shock.

He simply could not believe that someone with a power level of only 408 could suddenly erupt with such a powerful aura.

And Piccolo's aura was still rising even further!

In his extreme shock, he failed to notice Son Goku charging toward him!

Bang!

Son Goku's fist smashed solidly into Raditz's face, sending Raditz flying backward in an instant.

Raditz immediately flew into a rage from humiliation and launched a fierce assault.

Bang bang bang!

After a fierce exchange, Raditz sent Son Goku flying once more.

Son Goku crashed into a small mountain, causing it to collapse as chunks of rock rolled down toward him.

In the blink of an eye, Son Goku was buried beneath the rubble.

At that moment, Raditz looked toward Piccolo, his eyes full of disbelief.

Piccolo's power level had now soared to 1000!

"I can't let him keep gathering energy!"

Raditz instantly panicked.

Things were now developing in an uncontrollable direction.

If Piccolo finished gathering energy and unleashed his ultimate move, Raditz might really suffer a humiliating defeat!

"I have to stop him!"

Raditz immediately attacked Piccolo, intending to interrupt his energy gathering.

However, like an unkillable cockroach, Son Goku launched another attack on Raditz.

Raditz had no intention of getting tangled up with Son Goku now, and after the constant exhaustion, Son Goku's aura was growing weaker and weaker.

This time, Raditz decisively went all out, throwing several punches at Son Goku.

Then he condensed an energy blast and fired it straight at Son Goku.

Son Goku had no way to block it.

"Bang!"

The energy blast struck Son Goku and exploded instantly.

Dust flew everywhere, and smoke filled the air.

When the smoke cleared, Son Goku lay on the ground, his expression twisted in pain. He could not move, and even opening his eyes took tremendous effort.

Clearly, Son Goku had suffered severe injuries and had completely lost his ability to fight.

"The annoying pest is taken care of. Now it's your turn!"

Raditz turned around and snarled at Piccolo.

However, he found Piccolo staring coldly at him.

"Die, Saiyan!"

"Special Beam Cannon!"

Piccolo pointed his right hand at Raditz, and a spiraling beam of energy shot from the tips of his index and middle fingers, relentlessly hurtling toward Raditz!
