Frieza was no fool, and of course he could see the hope burning in the Namekian's eyes.
Frieza then asked curiously, "Namek, you seem to have placed your hopes on something? Or is that what you call a hope? You think you can defeat me? You are so confident."
"Hmph! You figured it out! Frieza, just wait! You'll be dead once Goku comes." Piccolo responded sharply.
"Goku? No matter who he is, he is no match for me!" Frieza said, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
Bang~~
Frieza unexpectedly hit Piccolo's chin with his knee, and he retreated more than ten meters, blood flowing from his nose and mouth.
Frieza wagged his tail and said, "Namek, let me tell you! I'm almost losing my patience, so!"
Just as Frieza raised his hand to gather an energy ball, several attacks came toward him.
All these attacks hit Frieza.
Boom!!
After a cloud of smoke rose, Frieza was still standing intact.
The Z Warriors weren't trying to hurt Frieza—they just wanted to delay him, otherwise Piccolo would be in danger.
Frieza said with an unusually gloomy expression, "There are still a few annoying ants walking around!!"
"Those guys." Piccolo looked in the direction of Gohan and the others and whispered, "I wonder if doing this will anger that monster Frieza?"
As expected, Frieza's gaze shifted to the direction of Gohan and the others.
Piccolo immediately shouted angrily: "Frieza, don't even think about attacking Gohan and the others. Your opponent is me."
Piccolo fired energy bullets at Frieza in rapid succession from both hands.
Frieza raised his neck and let the Namekian attack him at will.
To Frieza, these attacks were nothing more than tickles!!
Meanwhile, on Earth, Goku was at Bulma's house.
Bulma lay in Goku's arms and asked, "Goku, aren't you worried about Krillin and the others going to Namek? What if they encounter an enemy they can't defeat?"
"Don't worry! I'm also preparing to go to Namek." Goku responded, touching Bulma's hair.
Bulma said excitedly, "Goku, the spaceship—I'm ready. You can take the spaceship to Namek at any time."
"No need. I want to go to Namek myself. It'll be just a moment!" Goku said confidently with a smile.
Bulma was curious. She leaned closer and asked, "Goku, tell me quickly, how did you manage to get to Namek so fast?"
"Teleportation, a special skill," Goku explained.
Bulma was incredulous, "I never thought there was such a powerful skill. Goku, you are amazing to have mastered it. You're worthy of being my man."
"Well! Wait for me! Or you can go find Chi-Chi. I'm leaving now." Goku placed his finger on his forehead.
The next second, Goku disappeared from Bulma's sight.
On Namek, Piccolo tried his best to stop Frieza, but he was battered all over, with not a single part of his body intact.
His breathing was extremely weak; he could die at any moment.
Gohan kept wanting to rush forward to save Piccolo but was always stopped by Krillin.
Krillin said, "Gohan, don't be impulsive! Piccolo is holding Frieza off to protect us. If you rush in, everything Piccolo did will be in vain."
"I know." Gohan silently clenched his fists, unwilling to watch Piccolo get killed.
Tien Shinhan frowned, "It's possible all of us could die at Frieza's hands."
Frieza grabbed Piccolo with his tail and lifted him up, saying, "Namek, you still have one last breath left. I will send you on your way."
"Goku..." Piccolo's vision blurred, and he muttered desperately.
When Frieza raised his hand to pierce Piccolo's heart, he was kicked away.
A flash of light lit the air as Frieza was sent flying thousands of meters back.
The person who had arrived: Goku, who had teleported from Earth.
Piccolo lay on the ground, his breathing ragged, but he smiled weakly, "Goku, you finally came! If you hadn't, I might have died here."
"Piccolo, not bad! After coming to Namek, your combat power has increased so much." Goku immediately assessed Piccolo's strength.
Piccolo panted, "Even if I became stronger, I am still no match for Frieza! But you, Goku—I can't even see your true strength clearly. What are you?"
Piccolo couldn't continue speaking, because even he couldn't fathom Goku's power. It was terrifying.
Gohan, Krillin, Tien Shinhan, and the others flew over.
Krillin slapped Goku's arm, almost crying, "Goku, if you had been any later, we'd all be dead!!"
"Isn't it fine? Haha." Goku replied with a smile.
Gohan stood beside Goku, calling out happily, "Dad."
Goku raised his hand and rubbed Gohan's head.
