After transforming into his second form, Frieza's body healed completely, wiping away the damage he had taken earlier.
Piccolo smirked, "Frieza, it seems you've gotten awfully confident after your transformation."
"You arrogant pest!" Frieza snarled, charging forward and throwing a vicious punch.
Just as his fist was about to connect, Piccolo vanished.
"What?!" Frieza's eyes widened.
He finally realized the truth—this Namekian's strength was far beyond what he had calculated.
Pulling back, Frieza raised his power again, his aura flaring violently as his combat power climbed past one million.
Vegeta's face twisted in disbelief, "Damn it… is this bastard's strength bottomless? He can keep raising it?!"
The Z Warriors were just as stunned.
They had expected Frieza's transformation to give him a massive boost, but it seemed he hadn't even shown his full hand yet.
Piccolo's tone stayed calm. "Your fighting power's reached a new level, Frieza. Impressive."
Furious, Frieza rushed again, unleashing a storm of attacks.
Piccolo, however, was enjoying himself for the first time in ages.
Though he still held back much of his true strength, the battle thrilled him.
Watching from the sidelines, Krillin clenched his fists.
"Piccolo and Frieza's ki… it's insane. But I wonder—can Goku really surpass this?"
Tien Shinhan gave a small nod.
"Goku's power is unfathomable. Even now, none of us can grasp his limits. It's like staring into a bottomless abyss."
Yamcha grinned. "By the time Goku arrives on Namek, Piccolo might have already taken care of Frieza."
"Uncle Piccolo will definitely win!" Gohan shouted with childlike faith.
Fists and shockwaves erupted as Frieza and Piccolo clashed. The sky trembled with every collision.
Frieza growled, straining against Piccolo's strength.
"You're strong, Namekian… but you're still no match for me!"
Piccolo met his gaze evenly. "Whether I am or not—we'll see when this fight is over."
Frieza laughed darkly. "Gugugugu… Confident fool! Do you really think this is my true power?!"
Piccolo smirked, "Oh? Interesting. Then show me. Don't disappoint me, Frieza."
Their battle grew fiercer.
At one point, both warriors pulled back after a massive collision, the shockwave leveling the ground around them.
Frieza narrowed his eyes, "Namekian… I know you're still hiding your true strength."
"Hah! You noticed? But isn't it the same for you?" Piccolo retorted, his cape fluttering as his aura burned brighter.
Frieza clenched his fists and roared, pushing his second form to its absolute limit—his combat power peaking at 1.2 million.
Piccolo's expression hardened. "So that's your true strength? Impressive… but you're still destined to fail."
"Hmph! Brag all you want, Namekian. You'll die all the same!" Frieza sneered.
Piccolo's ki surged upward, his aura shaking the battlefield.
Though Frieza couldn't sense energy, he knew Piccolo's power had jumped again.
Watching from afar, Vegeta gritted his teeth.
"Damn it… Frieza's strength keeps climbing, and yet that Namekian keeps rising to match him. My power… it's worthless compared to theirs."
Yamcha squinted at the clash. "Piccolo's ki isn't much higher than Frieza's right now…"
Tien Shinhan smirked, "Relax. Piccolo's still wearing weighted clothing."
Gohan beamed. "That's right! Uncle Piccolo will definitely win!"
Krillin, however, frowned, "I don't know… I still feel like Frieza's hiding something."
Frieza's patience finally snapped as Piccolo smirked at him.
"Damn you, Namekian!"
This time, Piccolo took the initiative. His speed blurred as he closed the gap—
BOOM!
His fist smashed squarely into Frieza's face, sending the tyrant staggering back.
Even in his second form at full power, Frieza found himself being suppressed.
