Goku thought carefully for a moment.
Unless Frieza was completely eliminated, the planet where the Namekians lived would never truly be safe.
If it comes down to it… I'll just finish him for good this time.
I already warned you.
"Everyone who wants to go to Namek, hold hands," Goku called out to his companions. "I'll take you there right now."
"I'm going," Yamcha said with a smile. "After training for so long, I want to see how strong this Frieza guy really is."
"Of course I'm going too!" Tien said confidently. "I feel like my energy is at least as strong as Nappa's now."
"Me too, Tien!" Chiaotzu added quickly.
"Dad, Uncle Piccolo, I want to go too!" Gohan said firmly, his young face filled with determination.
Piccolo snorted in displeasure, but still walked over and placed his hand on Gohan's head.
Gohan: "..."
He looked up at Piccolo and smiled.
A trace of gentle affection flashed in Piccolo's eyes, though he said nothing.
Soon, Krillin, Piccolo, and the others joined hands, forming a circle.
Goku placed his hand on Gohan's shoulder and activated Instant Transmission.
"Whoosh!"
In the blink of an eye, Goku and the others appeared inside the Grand Elder's house on Namek.
He had locked onto Nail's energy, which was why he arrived here.
Their sudden appearance startled both the Grand Elder and Nail.
The Grand Elder broke into a cold sweat, staring at them in shock.
Nail immediately raised his guard and stepped in front of the Grand Elder.
"Ah… are you the Grand Elder of Namek?" Goku asked. It was his first time meeting him.
In his previous life, the Grand Elder he knew was the next successor, named Moori.
Back then, before he even had time to greet the Elder, Captain Ginyu had swapped bodies with him.
Later, after he got his body back, he was already badly injured.
By the time the Namekians were moved to Earth, Goku had stayed behind to fight Frieza.
So this was truly his first proper meeting with the Grand Elder.
"You are… Earthlings," the Grand Elder said slowly, his heavy eyelids lifting. He quickly judged their identities, then looked at Piccolo. "I remember now… you are Katas's child, aren't you? I never thought you would reach Earth safely."
Piccolo fell silent.
Krillin and the others stared back and forth between Nail and Piccolo in curiosity.
They really do look alike…
Piccolo looked deeply at Nail and took a slow breath, sensing the energy of Namek.
So this is my home planet…
It really does feel peaceful.
"Nail, don't worry. They are not bad people," the Grand Elder said kindly. "I can sense it. Everyone here has pure energy, with almost no evil intent."
"Yes, Grand Elder," Nail replied, bowing.
"Earthlings, tell me why you have come," the Grand Elder said gently, looking at Goku.
"Well… here's what happened," Goku said, explaining everything about Frieza in detail.
As he listened, the Grand Elder's expression changed. His eyelids twitched slightly, and he glanced at Piccolo.
Perhaps it was because of Katas's child that Frieza learned about our ability to create Dragon Balls…
He then spread out his senses.
Sure enough, he felt an extremely terrifying presence racing toward Namek from outer space.
"So it is Frieza, the Emperor of the Universe…" the Grand Elder sighed heavily. His wrinkled face darkened. "This will not be easy. All Namekians may suffer great calamity…"
"That's why I came," Goku said with a smile. "I want to move all the Namekians somewhere safe."
"Move everyone?" The Grand Elder was startled. Then he realized something. "You mean… using Porunga to relocate us? That is what you Earthlings call the dragon."
"No need for the dragon," Goku laughed. "I can use Instant Transmission to send you somewhere safe in an instant. I've already thought of a good place. Once everyone gathers here, I can move you right away."
"Is that so?" The Grand Elder was overjoyed. "Then thank you very much! Let's do as you say."
He made the decision immediately.
"Please wait a moment. I will contact all Namekians now."
Closing his eyes, he reached out mentally and connected with every Namekian on the planet.
Soon, he instructed everyone to gather outside his house.
After finishing, he opened his eyes and looked at Goku gratefully.
"Thank you, Mr. Son Goku," he said sincerely.
"No need to be so polite," Goku said, scratching his head. "I didn't know you could contact everyone like that. Haha, that makes things much easier."
"Yeah," Krillin nodded. "We were planning to help Goku contact everyone ourselves."
"Thank you all," the Grand Elder said warmly.
Then they waited.
During that time, Piccolo kept staring at Nail with burning intensity.
Nail: "..."
"Why do you keep looking at me?" Nail finally asked.
"You're the strongest Namekian, right?" Piccolo asked, clearly excited.
"More or less," Nail nodded. "You could say I'm the only true warrior-type Namekian on this planet."
"Warrior-type?" Piccolo paused.
"I can tell—you're one too," Nail said with a smile.
"Are there other types? Like the ones who make Dragon Balls?" Piccolo asked.
"More or less," Nail replied.
"Let's fight," Piccolo said confidently. "I want to know who the strongest Namekian really is."
Nail looked at him calmly and shook his head.
"What do you mean?" Piccolo frowned.
"You're not my opponent," Nail said lightly. "I'd advise you not to embarrass yourself."
Piccolo's lips curved into a faint smile.
