Chapter 175 The Ultimate Showdown of Talents! Gohan vs. Broly!
Earth's South Pole
Piccolo, the fastest of the group, arrived first and quickly located several Dragon Ball stealing radars using his ki senses, spotting Frieza's army soldiers collecting the seven Dragon Balls.
"What are you doing!" Bick glared at the three nameless soldiers. An invisible aura enveloped these soldiers, whose combat strength was less than ten thousand. The three men froze and trembled uncontrollably.
One of the soldiers didn't reply to Bick, but complained, "I told you two to hurry up, now look what's happened, we can't finish our mission, and our lives are in danger."
The soldier's eyes lost their light. If Frieza's mission was accomplished, that would be fine; if it wasn't, things would be complicated.
Another minor soldier replied to Piccolo's question: "You must be Mr. Piccolo. We meant no offense... Please forgive us... and let us leave."
Under the pressure of the aura surrounding him, the soldier stammered out his plea for mercy.
"Of course we can let you go."
Bick's words, spoken only halfway through, brought a sigh of relief to the three men; at least their lives were temporarily spared.
Within Frieza's army, Earth's Z Fighters were categorized by their level of danger.
Danger level: 3 stars: Vegeta (If you encounter this person, there's no point in running away. Just leave it to fate. If he's in a good mood, he generally won't kill you, but if he's in a bad mood, you can just wait to die.)
Danger level: 3 stars: Majin Buu (unpredictable, his life and death are left to fate.)
Danger Level Two: Piccolo (Among the fighters on Earth, he is the smartest and will decide his judgment based on the harm you cause.)
Danger level: One star: Tien Shinhan, Krillin, Yamcha, Trunks (they generally won't kill the weak or those who aren't inherently evil.)
Danger level 0 stars: Son Goku, Son Gohan (You can fight them to the death; as long as you don't destroy the Earth, you definitely won't die!)
“Hand over the Dragon Balls you have, and I won’t care where you go,” Piccolo said.
Upon hearing this, the three quickly pretended to be ignorant, knowing that giving them the Dragon Balls would only lead to their demise.
"Dragon what? My hearing is a little impaired, I need to go back and get it checked."
“Mr. Bick, how do you know my name is Lobster, which means deaf and blind?”
"You've all said your piece, am I just crazy?!"
Piccolo glared angrily at the three of them, and roared at them to stop them from pretending to be stupid: "You! Do you really think I'm easy to fool? Let me tell you, even if you don't hand over the Dragon Balls, I can still find them. Now I'm giving you a chance, a chance for you to fight for your own survival."
Just as the three were in a panic, a purple energy blast fell from the clouds. The purple energy blast pierced through the clouds and expanded to a hundred meters in size. If left unattended, the power it contained was enough to destroy the Earth.
"Damn it! They came so fast!" Piccolo said gravely, "Frieza's aura is much stronger than last time. Even Sun Wukong probably can't deal with him as easily as last time."
Trunks and Goten transformed into Super Saiyan Gods and worked together to prevent the purple energy blast from falling to the ground.
Gohan came to Piccolo's side: "Uncle Piccolo, Frieza's ki is terrifying!"
"Gohan, think carefully about what it feels like to fight. With Goku and the others not here, it's hard for me to improve my strength in battle. This time, I'll have to rely on you."
"I will try my best!"
Frieza's spaceship landed, and Goten and Trunks were the first to stand in front of it. Krillin, Tien Shinhan, and Jaten then came to their side.
Piccolo was about to forcibly take the Dragon Balls, but Frieza came out of the spaceship the next moment. Gohan, worried that Goten and the others would be in danger, told Piccolo that they couldn't waste any more time and had to go over first. Frieza's ki was too terrifying and they couldn't handle it.
As soon as Gohan and Piccolo arrived, the spaceship's hatch opened, and a flight of stairs unfolded.
Piccolo's face turned green instantly: "There's another powerful aura! The enemy isn't just Frieza!"
Gohan looked serious and said to Goten and the others, "Goten, Trunks, quickly take Jaten, Krillin, and Tien Shinhan away from here. Piccolo and I will deal with them. If any enemies escape our lines, then you can take care of them."
How could Son Goten agree? He could also sense the terrifying aura of Frieza: "No, brother, Trunks and I have fused together, our power is definitely greater than yours. With your current power, you can't defeat Frieza. We can't leave."
Tien Shinhan and Krillin said to Gohan with dissatisfaction, "Don't underestimate us, Gohan. As martial artists from Earth, how can you run away as soon as you see an opponent? Besides, Krillin and I know the Kaioken. We won't die so easily."
Xie Tian blinked and pointed ahead: "Brother Gohan, is the Frieza everyone's talking about that little white man?"
Upon hearing this, Gohan turned his head and saw Frieza and Paragus walking on either side of Broly. The three of them disembarked from the spaceship at the same time. As soon as Frieza arrived, his three loyal subordinates brought the Dragon Balls with them.
Each of them took a portion of the Dragon Balls and respectfully handed them over to Frieza.
"Lord Frieza, we have fulfilled our mission and completed your arrangements."
Frieza used his superpowers to make the seven Dragon Balls fly into his hands, praised the three of them a few times, and then sent them back to the spaceship to collect their wages and rewards.
After the bystanders left, Frieza smiled and began to observe the Z Fighters of Earth.
"Hoo ho ho!"
"People of Earth, it's been a long time. Why haven't I seen the Goku I've been longing to see?" Frieza said with a beaming smile, making one think he was a very kind alien.
Son Gohan pondered for a moment, unsure how to answer.
Piccolo knew that Goku and Vegeta wouldn't be back for a while, as they had gone to the future to help Trunks. But in order to keep Frieza calm and protect Earth, he lied to him.
"Old Sun? He went to other worlds, but just because he's not on Earth doesn't mean there aren't other people on Earth. For example, Lord Beerus is still enjoying delicious food on Earth."
Frieza understood Piccolo's intention. "Don't worry, I'm not here to destroy Earth. Mr. Xie Yi has helped me so much, and this is his hometown after all. I will go easy on him this time as a way of repaying his kindness. Next time, I will destroy Earth."
Frieza had two main objectives for this trip.
1. Witness Broly's strength
2. Use the Dragon Balls to wish for a height of 1.85 meters.
These are what Frieza most wants to accomplish right now.
"I can guarantee I won't take action and destroy the Earth, but who knows if some people will agree to that?"
"By the way, Paragus Vegeta doesn't seem to be on Earth, but his son is that purple-haired kid over there. You can do whatever you want with him."
Paragus learned that Vegeta was gone, but his son was still alive. Out of his endless resentment towards King Vegeta, he harbored boundless hatred for even Vegeta's descendants.
Imagine that you and your son did nothing wrong, but because of your high talent, you were envied and feared, and were sent to a dangerous place with no food or water, where you stayed for forty years. Would you not feel resentment towards the other party's descendants just because they died?
Paragus glared menacingly at Trunks: "Since your father Vegeta isn't here, you can go and wait here!"
"Broly! Go!"
Broly received Paragus's command and propelled himself forward with a slight push of his toes.
He ignored Gohan and Piccolo and attacked Trunks directly. Gohan saw this and flashed in front of Trunks to block Broly's violent punch.
