Chapter 20: The Battle Continues, Part 3

The giant ape that Vegeta had transformed into spoke, "Now that our powers are on par, let the battle begin!"

Vegeta charged at John Doe and the others with unmatched speed, while Nappa also attacked Goku.

When Vegeta and his group were facing off without making a move, Frieza was initially prepared to not wait any longer and was about to order his subordinates to launch an attack on Earth with their spaceships.

However, just as Frieza's army was about to set off, Vegeta suddenly created an artificial moon and threw it into the sky, immediately piquing Frieza's interest.

For Frieza, who had always considered the Saiyans a threat, he was well aware that the Saiyans were at their strongest when they transformed into giant apes.

After transforming, the Saiyans' power level increased tenfold. Just like Vegeta, whose power level of 18,000 became 180,000 after transforming into a giant ape.

This was the reason why the Saiyans, despite their average strength in their human form, were still able to conquer many planets, becoming the sharpest sword in Frieza's hand.

Upon seeing Vegeta and his group transform into giant apes, Frieza's interest was piqued, and he sat back down, saying, "Let's wait a little longer. I almost forgot about the Saiyans' transformation trick. Since it's like this, let's watch some more."

With a loud 'boom', Vegeta smashed the pile of rocks where John Doe was standing once again, but he still couldn't touch John Doe even slightly.

Vegeta angrily shouted, "You coward! Are you too afraid to fight me head-on? All you know is to hide?!"

On the other side, Goku had already engaged in battle with Nappa, and without using the Kaio-ken, he was already toying with Nappa, who was no match for Goku's current strength.

John Doe paid no heed to Vegeta's shouts and said, "It's not that I'm afraid. I'm just worried that if I fight you, you'll lose too quickly."

Vegeta, of course, didn't believe him. He continued his attack, swinging his massive palm towards the spot where John Doe was standing.

This time, John Doe didn't dodge but instead raised his arm and clenched his fist.

Vegeta was delighted to see that John Doe was preparing to take his attack head-on, and he swung his hand even faster.

Just as Vegeta thought John Doe was about to be smashed into a meat paste, he felt a sharp pain in his palm.

Vegeta immediately retracted his hand and howled in pain as he held it.

Vegeta had indeed hit John Doe, but due to the vast power gap, Vegeta's giant palm was directly pierced by John Doe.

After Vegeta was injured and holding his wound, John Doe continued his attack, kicking Vegeta's brow with a flying kick.

With immense force, Vegeta's giant ape form was sent flying backward, and he fell heavily to the ground.

A loud 'boom' shook the entire earth, sending dust flying into the sky.

The power gap was too great, and even with Vegeta's transformed body, he was directly knocked unconscious by John Doe.

Vegeta slowly returned to his human form, looking a bit pitiful with blood flowing from his hand and a large bruise on his face.

"Oh, we won!" Seeing John Doe's victory, everyone immediately rejoiced, holding hands and jumping for joy.

Goku, seeing that John Doe had ended the fight, also sped up his attacks, and with a few strikes, he knocked out Nappa in his ape form.

As for Raditz, he was flipped over by Piccolo, who then grabbed Raditz's tail and with a single chop, cut off Raditz's tail.

Looking at the artificial moon above their heads, John Doe, to prevent Vegeta and the others from transforming again when they woke up, fired a ki blast and destroyed the artificial moon.

Goku walked over at this moment and asked, "John Doe, what should we do with these three?"

John Doe said, "You decide. One of them is your brother, and the other two are your fellow Saiyans. It's up to you."

Just as John Doe and the others finished their battle, inside the spaceship hidden behind the sun, Frieza slowly stood up and said, "What a disappointment. I thought there would be an intense battle, but I didn't expect Vegeta and the other two to fail so quickly."

"Let's go. Since these three are useless, there's no need for them to exist. I'll send these four Saiyans on their way, sending them to hell to meet their ancestors."

With Frieza's order, the massive spaceship slowly accelerated and headed towards Earth.

At this moment, Goku was still pondering how to deal with Vegeta and the other two Saiyans.

Goku spoke to Vegeta, "Vegeta, as long as you promise not to be enemies with Earthlings from now on, I'll let you three go."

Who was Vegeta? The Saiyan Prince, whose proud personality would never allow him to agree to the threats of a lower-class warrior like Kakarot. He directly replied, "Impossible. Either you kill us, or if you let us three go, we will definitely come back to take revenge on you."

Vegeta's words once again put Goku in a dilemma. If they said that, Goku couldn't just let these three Saiyans go.

Although Goku himself wasn't afraid of these three Saiyans, what about the others? If his friends, family, or even other unknown Earthlings were to die because he let Vegeta go, Goku would feel extremely guilty.

Just as Goku made up his mind and was about to speak, suddenly, everyone's expressions changed.

This included the already defeated Vegeta, Nappa, and Raditz.

Because an extremely powerful energy was rapidly approaching Earth, and John Doe, who was very familiar with this energy, gritted his teeth and said, "Frieza!"

Goku replied, "What? Is that Frieza? Is his energy that strong?" Facing the massive, dark energy in the sky, Goku's expression changed several times.

Even Goku, who had originally wanted to settle things with Frieza, couldn't help but feel a bit scared.

As for Vegeta, he struggled to stand up with his severely injured body, his face darkening as he looked up at the sky, gritting his teeth and saying, "We've been followed."

Vegeta wouldn't think that Frieza was coming to save them out of kindness. His keen intuition made him sense a great unease.

However, compared to Vegeta, Nappa and Raditz's sensitivity was far inferior. They happily stood up and said to John Doe and the others, "Haha... You're all going to die. King Frieza is coming. You have no chance of survival. I advise you to surrender; at least you'll be able to keep your body intact."

"Shut up, you two idiots!" Vegeta shouted at them.

Nappa and Raditz were left bewildered by Vegeta's scolding. Vegeta had no choice but to explain to these two foolish teammates. He said, "Why does Frieza know our whereabouts? Did you inform him?"

The two immediately shook their heads, indicating that they hadn't done so. Vegeta continued, "But Frieza was able to find us accurately, and he appeared at a time when we were severely injured. Do you still think he's here to save us?"

After hearing Vegeta's words, Nappa and Raditz's expressions changed, and they finally realized that something was wrong.
