With that thought in mind, he resumed his training aboard his spaceship.
…
Time passed.
In the blink of awo months had gone by.
During that time, Jiang had tinued dismantling Frieza’s strongholds, causing signifit disruption across the empire’s ranks. Meanwhile, Zarbon and Dodoria had drawn ever closer.
On a P.
A crucial hub within the tral North Area, this p housed one of the rgest Frieza Force bases in the surrounding star systems.
“Have Zarbon and Dodoria arrived yet?”
Ihe base’s aer, an octopus-like alien paced anxiously, his tentacles twitg with unease.
“Sir, they will arrive in three days at the test.”
Another subordinate, equally tense, reported with forced calm.
“Three days?” The ander exhaled in relief. “That should be enough.”
If he had three days, that damned Saiyan wouldn’t be able to reach them so soon.
Just as that thought settled—
“Alert! Alert!”
“Unknown vessel detected entering the atmosphere!”
“Alert! Alert!”
“Engage immediately!”
The base erupted into chaos as sirens bred across the plex.
The octopus alien’s expression twisted in horror.
“No… no, it ’t be—”
Before he could finish—
BOOM!
A blinding white light ed the sky.
BOOM! BOOM!
A of deafening explosions followed, engulfing the entire base ihe Kentaru outpost was wiped out in an instant, reduced to a burning wastend.
Amid the destru, the octopus alien barely mao escape, his battered body hurled through the air. If not for the natural durability of his species, he would have been vaporized i.
But even though he survived, his dition was critical.
“Battle power of 15,000?”
“Not bad.”
A calm voice echoed through the smoke.
Struggling to lift his gaze, the alien’s eyes widened in horror as he saw a small figure standing amidst the ruins, smirking at him.
Jiang .
By now, his face was infamous among the Frieza Force.
Seven bases had already fallen at his hands. tless warriors had perished. Rumors even cimed he had sin ae soldier with a battle power of 17,000.
Panic gripped the alien’s heart.
He wao speak, to beg for mercy— but before he could utter a word, Jiang ’s gaze shifted beyond him.
“Hiding, are we?”
“You’ve been waiting for me, haven’t you?”
A smirk curled Jiang ’s lips as he locked eyes with the presence lurking in the shadows.
With his refined trol over Ki, Jiang sehe two formidable auras long before setting foot on the p.
"Heh, pretty sharp for a monkey!" A mog voice echoed through the air, and in the instant, a bulky figure shot forward.
Its skin ink, its limbs were thid powerful, and fleshy spikes jutted from its head and arms.
Dodoria— one of Frieza’s top enforcers.
Right behind him, anure stepped forward with a smirk.
"Unfortunate for you, Saiyan. Frieza Sama is quite displeased with your as."
The voice was smooth, and refined.
A green-skinned warrior with a chiseled fad an air of elegance emerged.
Zarbon— Frieza’s right-hand strategist.
"What an honor. Zarbon and Dodoria, the twin hounds of that so-called Emperor of the Universe."
Jiang chuckled with a glimmer of battle i in his eyes.
His power had already surged past 35,000, reag 36,000.
Individually, they weren't overwhelming— Zarbon’s transformed state peaked at 27,000, and Dodoria barely scraped 20,000. Alongside the octopus-like alien lurking in the shadows, they might just make for a det warm-up.
"Heh, monkey, have you decided how you want to die?"
"I’m particurly fond of crushing skulls."
Dodoria sneered, his beady eyes glinting with malice.
"Oh? Then I suppose we’ll see whose skull gets crushed first."
Jiang smirked.
"You little—!"
Dodoria’s face torted in rage before he lunged, but Jiang was faster.
BOOM!
Dodoria’s eyes bulged as a sharp pain tore through his gut.
In an instant, his massive frame was sent hurtling through the air.
CRASH!
The distant ground buckled uhe impact.
"What?!"
Zarbon’s posed expression shattered, his eyes widening in disbelief.
Dodoria had a power level of 20,000. By all estimates, Jiang should have been around the same range. Yet Dodoria had been blown away in a sirike.
"Damn it… Your power level is above 20,000!" Zarbon hissed.
"I never said otherwise." Jiang cpped his hands, unfazed. "Go ahead and transform. In your current state, you don’t stand a ce."
Zarbon’s expression darkened.
He hesitated only for a moment before his aura fred violently and his body began to expand.
BOOM!
A monstrous energy erupted as his elegaures twisted into something grotesque— hulking muscles, a gaping maw lined with fangs, and thick, pulsating veins.
"Bsted monkey! Do you dare force me into this hideous form?! I’ll make you suffer!" Zarbon growled, his voice guttural with rage.
Meanwhile, Dodoria staggered back to his feet, bruised but still standing.
"We’ll take him together!" Zarbon anded.
Drunted and nodded, while the octopus-like alien unleashed his own Ki and charged in.
Three-on-one.
Oh a power level of 15,000.
O 27,000.
O 20,000.
By most standards, this was a fearsome lineup— some of the stro warriors in the universe.
Ever sihe fall of the Grand Supreme Kai and the weakening of the Supreme Kais, Universe 7 has stagnated in martial growth.
A power level above 10,000 already marked someone as ae.
Over 20,000 was legendary.
Beyond 100,000? It was near impossible to find someo that power level outside of a few exceptions.
With this kind of strength, these three could have ruled entire gaxies.
But unfortunately for them…
Their oppo was Jiang .
A warrior whose power had already surpassed 36,000.
More than raw strength, his mastery over Ki left them leagues behind.
BOOM!
BOOM!
The sky trembled as their battle erupted.
The octopus alien was the first to fall— his body disiing in an instant.
Dodoria followed soon after.
CRASH!
Zarbon was sent spiraling backward, his body battered and bruised.
Before he could even rise, he caught a glimpse of Dodoria’s crumbling form.
His eyes widened ierror.
"No…"
A deep fear gripped him.
There were three of them a Jiang had dismahem within moments.
Now, Zarbon stood alone.
Desperate, he threw aside his pride.
"W-Wait! Spare me!"
"I help you! Together, we take down Frieza!"
"I swear allegiao you! We kill him!"
His voice trembled as he begged.
"Tch." Jiang scoffed.
"Zarbon… You really think you’re worth that much?"
His lips curled into a smirk of disdain.
Before Zarbon could respond, a searing bst of energy shot toward him.
"NO!"
Zarbon screamed.
He gathered every ounce of ki he had left but it wasn’t enough.
A power level of 27,000 could never withstand a strike from 36,000.
BOOM!
A massive explosion lit up the sky.
The shockwave ripped through the p’s surface, shaking the very core of the battlefield.
And with that, Zarbon was no more.
