Ten minutes later.
Frieza's army had already assembled, gathering at the entrance to the spaceship in a long line.
"Lord Frieza, the troops are assembled. We can depart immediately!" Zarbon reported with a bow.
"Lord Frieza, Lord Cooler just sent a message asking you to visit when you have time!" Dodoria, however, relayed another message to Frieza. "If we make a detour to see Lord Cooler, it will delay us by over ten days, and our arrival at Namek will be pushed back to over thirty days from now."
"Cooler? What does that guy want with me?" Frieza frowned, feeling somewhat displeased.
Dodoria shook his head, indicating he didn't know.
Frieza thought carefully and originally wasn't planning to deal with Cooler.
But if I head straight to Namek, it will definitely catch Cooler's attention.
That guy might go to Namek and compete with me for the wish.
I can't beat him right now.
If I can't fulfill my wish for immortality, all my plans will be ruined.
"Let's go see Cooler first!" Frieza said with a dark expression, agreeing.
"Depart!" Dodoria waved his large hand and announced loudly.
"Yes!"
The many subordinates responded in unison.
"Whoosh!"
However, at that moment.
An orange figure flickered and appeared near Frieza.
"Ah... Frieza! Long time no see," Son Goku waved at Frieza and laughed heartily.
Frieza: "????"
Zarbon and Dodoria's eyes widened as they looked at Son Goku with suspicion and uncertainty.
Who is this guy?
How did he suddenly appear here?
Frieza narrowed his eyes slightly, though he didn't take Son Goku seriously—he was just surprised by his sudden appearance.
"Who are you?" Frieza asked.
"Ah... you probably don't know me, so I won't tell you my name," Son Goku replied with a smile.
Frieza: "..."
Frieza didn't want to talk anymore.
Should I know you?
What kind of answer is that?
"Just a guy with a battle power of barely over 300," Dodoria quickly detected Son Goku's battle power through his scouter and whispered to Frieza.
"Kill him!" Frieza had lost his patience and gave the order to a subordinate.
I still need to hurry to Namek to gather the Dragon Balls and make my wish.
Some random person appears out of nowhere and shows me no respect!
Don't you know I'm the Emperor of the Universe, Frieza?
"Yes!" The subordinate who received the order was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, and his hand holding the gun trembled.
If I can eliminate this man called Son Goku in front of Lord Frieza, Lord Frieza might reward me.
The subordinate adjusted the angle of his energy gun, aiming the barrel at Son Goku's body.
"Hmph, with a battle power of barely over 300, did you come here to die?" the subordinate sneered coldly as the gun barrel glowed with energy.
"Everyone else, depart immediately for Namek!" Frieza paid no attention to Son Goku.
Just a small fry.
Though he didn't know how the guy appeared, Frieza wasn't concerned.
Frieza had visited countless planets and was familiar with all sorts of abilities.
To Frieza, Son Goku's sudden appearance ability probably wasn't anything special.
It might just be a racial ability!
"Whoosh!"
With Frieza's command, the gun barrel of the subordinate's energy weapon flashed with energy.
An energy beam shot toward Son Goku's position at extreme speed.
Son Goku didn't even bother dodging. He reached forward with his hand and grabbed the energy blast shot from the gun, then kneaded it like dough, stretching it out long and thin.
Immediately, the energy ball was pulled into long, thin strands that shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight.
The subordinate was dumbfounded, his jaw nearly dropping to the ground.
The other Frieza Force members all widened their eyes, feeling utterly incredulous.
"Here, you can have it back!" Son Goku grinned and casually tossed the energy strand back to the subordinate who had fired.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
In an instant, the thin strand rapidly wrapped around the subordinate again and again, binding him like a dumpling.
The subordinate toppled straight to the ground, his face full of terror.
"Oh?" Frieza was mildly surprised and turned to look.
The other subordinates all looked toward Frieza, wanting to get his opinion.
This guy is pretty arrogant!
Should we go teach him a lesson?
"Go ahead," Frieza waved his hand, instructing his subordinates.
"Ahhhhh!"
Immediately, all the subordinates except Zarbon and Dodoria rushed toward Son Goku's position.
"Alright, good warm-up," Son Goku immediately assumed a fighting stance and began punching and kicking the subordinates rushing at him.
"Bam! Bam! Bam!"
Son Goku kicked them one by one, sending Frieza's subordinates flying into the sky.
The subordinates were like boiling dumplings, tumbling continuously in the air and screaming miserably.
Frieza was stunned, his triangular eyes wide with shock.
"What's going on?" Zarbon turned to ask Dodoria. "Didn't you say his battle power was only 300?"
"Strange... it suddenly jumped to 10,000!" Dodoria pressed his scouter again and muttered oddly.
"There's nothing surprising about it. He's probably from a race that can control their battle power," Frieza smiled, completely unconcerned.
"Let me take care of him!" Dodoria cracked his knuckles and stepped forward.
"Make it quick. We still need to get to Namek," Frieza said coldly.
"Yes, Lord Frieza!" Dodoria immediately bowed.
After speaking, Dodoria walked toward Son Goku.
"Bam! Bam! Bam!"
As Dodoria walked toward Son Goku, the dumpling-subordinates fell from the sky one by one, rolling on the ground and wailing continuously.
"Kid, looks like you're not too shabby—your battle power has actually reached 10,000!" Dodoria sneered. "But unfortunately for you, your luck ends here!"
"Who are you?" Son Goku had never seen Dodoria before and couldn't help scratching his head curiously.
"I'm one of Lord Frieza's most famous warriors—Dodoria!" Dodoria smiled proudly, pointing his thumb at his own nose.
"Never heard of you..." Son Goku shook his head, unfamiliar with the name.
"Hurry up!" Frieza's face darkened, looking like a lady waiting for her next client.
