Arriving on Namek, Dodoria Disappears

Rumble!

The spaceship sped through space and arrived at a green planet.

Hiss—

The spaceship scraped violently against the atmosphere, throwing off sparks as it shook intensely.

Wu Fei immediately took control of the ship and set the landing program.

Bang!

After some struggle, the spaceship finally landed safely.

The hatch opened, and Wu Fei's group stepped out.

Everything before them was green and brimming with life.

It was a planet with exceptionally beautiful scenery.

"So this is Uncle Piccolo's hometown!"

"The air is so nice!" Gohan exclaimed.

"This is... my hometown!" Piccolo murmured.

Although it was his first time on Namek, his heart was filled with a sense of familiarity.

He had originally belonged here!

"There's an incredibly powerful ki over there!"

Son Goku's expression suddenly changed as he pointed into the distance.

Son Goku could now clearly sense that person's strength was far beyond his own.

The feeling that person gave him was just like Wu Fei's—unfathomable!

"Piccolo, it looks like there are powerful fighters in your hometown too!"

Son Goku only knew that Namekians possessed all sorts of miraculous abilities, but he had never imagined there would be a Namekian this powerful!

"No!"

"He's not a Namekian!"

Piccolo had sensed that powerful aura as well.

But his instincts told him that the powerful ki definitely did not belong to a Namekian.

"What? He's not a Namekian?" Krillin was confused.

"That's right! If you sense carefully, you'll find that the aura he gives off is completely different from Piccolo's!" Wu Fei said.

"Then who is he? And why is he here?" Son Goku was equally puzzled.

"Frieza, the one known as the Emperor of the Universe!"

"Huh? Frieza?" Son Goku and the others looked utterly baffled. The name was completely unfamiliar to them.

Wu Fei had never mentioned Frieza before, so naturally Son Goku and the others knew nothing about him.

Wu Fei then began telling them about Frieza.

As they listened to Wu Fei's explanation, the doubts in Son Goku and the others' minds gradually cleared.

They completely believed Wu Fei's words, since he had long since earned their trust.

"Frieza came here to collect the Dragon Balls?"

"That's right. We have to stop him!"

Wu Fei then took out the Dragon Radar, which he had prepared in advance.

Beep beep beep—

When he activated the Dragon Radar, it showed that five Dragon Balls had already been gathered together.

Those five Dragon Balls were located where that powerful ki was.

"Looks like Frieza has already collected five Dragon Balls!"

"We still have time."

The other two Dragon Balls were scattered apart and very far from each other.

Wu Fei focused his mind and began probing the surrounding auras.

Very quickly, he detected an aura extremely similar to Piccolo's.

And one of the Dragon Balls was near that aura!

"That's the place!"

"Let's go! I'll take you somewhere good!"

"Where to?" Son Goku asked.

"A place that can increase your strength!"

"Improve our strength?"

At Wu Fei's words, Son Goku looked extremely excited.

After all, he had come to Namek precisely to grow stronger.

Wukong and the others immediately followed Wu Fei and flew into the distance.

In front of a massive spaceship stood a crowd of people, all of them oddly shaped aliens of various kinds!

They all wore the same uniform—the very Battle Armor Vegeta had worn before!

"Honestly, why hasn't Dodoria come back yet?"

An impatient voice rang out. The others immediately became utterly respectful, not daring to make a sound.

In the open space at the center of the crowd floated a flying chair. Seated within it was a short alien with two horns on his head and an unpleasant expression.

It was none other than the emperor of the universe—Frieza!

As Frieza spoke, his subordinates all lowered their heads, not daring to answer.

They did not even dare look him in the eyes!

They knew Frieza's nature all too well. He was moody and bloodthirsty by nature.

Frieza was clearly in a bad mood right now, and none of these underlings dared put themselves in his line of fire.

If they offended Frieza, they would suffer dearly for it.

"Tap, tap!"

After a long while, someone finally stepped forward.

He was tall and long-haired—Zarbon.

Compared to the bizarre-looking Frieza and the others, Zarbon looked relatively normal.

Moreover, Zarbon possessed considerable fighting power. Having served at Frieza's side for a long time, he was one of Frieza's two most trusted henchmen.

Whenever Frieza was displeased, only he dared step forward.

"Lord Frieza, perhaps Dodoria got too caught up having fun outside and forgot all about his mission!"

"How about I go bring him back?"

Frieza nodded and said, "Go."

"Dodoria has displeased me. I hope you won't do the same."

Frieza's voice was exceptionally cold now.

"Yes, Lord Frieza!"

Zarbon immediately set off to find Dodoria.

"Don't disappoint me."

"Ho ho ho!"

Frieza sneered.

At his side floated five Dragon Balls.

He had seized all five Dragon Balls from the Namekians.

His hands were stained with the blood of countless Namekians!

"Just two more, and I can summon Shenron and fulfill my wish for immortality!"

"Ho ho ho!"

Frieza laughed wildly.

His subordinates stood there respectfully, even breathing with the utmost care.

"Whoosh!"

Zarbon continued flying in the direction Dodoria had gone, growing increasingly puzzled.

He had been searching for an hour already, yet there was still no sign of Dodoria.

More importantly, he had activated his Scouter, yet he had not detected Dodoria's presence at all!

"That's impossible!"

Failing to find any trace of Dodoria made Zarbon even more anxious.

If he could not find Dodoria, Frieza would surely punish him.

Having served Frieza for years, he knew Frieza's temperament far too well.

If he failed to bring Dodoria back, endless tortures would await him!

"Damn it!"

Zarbon shouted angrily.

"Beep beep beep!"

Just then, the Scouter Zarbon wore began sounding nonstop.

"Great!"

Zarbon immediately turned his head and saw a Dodoria beside him.

"Whoosh!"

At that moment, a pink figure with fleshy spikes covering his face and arms charged toward him.

It was Dodoria, one of Frieza's two right-hand men!

"You bastard! Where the hell did you run off to?!" Zarbon shouted.

He had just been about to berate Dodoria when he realized something was wrong.

Dodoria was covered in wounds and gave off no energy at all. This was a corpse!

Dodoria was already dead!

Zarbon was inwardly shocked. He knew Dodoria was no weakling, with a battle power as high as 23,000.

On this planet, he could be considered virtually unmatched.

Yet now, someone had beaten him to death!

"What the hell happened here?!" Zarbon roared.

His Scouter was still beeping continuously.

Zarbon looked around and spotted someone in the distance watching him coldly.

It was Vegeta, the Saiyan prince!
