The most courageous pirate hunter

that moment.

Besides the pain, all that remained in his body was weakness. He clutched his stomach and staggered back two steps, his legs trembling as he struggled to keep from collapsing.

The burning aura around his body disappeared, and his golden hair and eyebrows returned to normal. He had actually been punched back to his original form.

"What a joke."

"I am not wrong, right!"

"Vegeta was punched..."

Bick and the others were also shocked.

They were already surprised when Vegeta knocked out Android 19 with a single punch, but now Hermes' punch that knocked Vegeta back to his original form was even more unbelievable.

"impossible!"

"How could I be defeated by a single punch?"

Vegeta was vomiting blood and staring at the ground in a daze, but his body, which was about to go into shock, reminded him that it was all real. He had been punched so hard that he had almost lost his ability to fight.

what is this?

He paid a huge price to transform into a Super Saiyan, but why is Hermes stronger than him? Even if he were to lose, he couldn't have lost so quickly.

It couldn't even withstand a single punch.

"Ahhh~"

"I am the Saiyan prince."

His pride was severely challenged. Despite the stinging pain in his body, Vegeta clenched his fists, veins bulging, and with an angry roar, transformed into a Super Saiyan once again.

And his aura was even stronger than before.

call out! ! !

A large area of ​​the ground exploded, and Vegeta, enraged, charged at Hermes, throwing a powerful punch, but Hermes dodged it with a simple turn.

Vegeta did not give up.

Using both hands and feet, Vegeta relentlessly attacked Hermes, creating a series of afterimages. Piccolo and the others couldn't even see the trajectory of Vegeta's attacks. Yet, despite the incredible speed, Hermes effortlessly dodged them all.

"I do not believe."

"I do not believe."

Mountains exploded in all directions, and Vegeta attacked wildly with bloodshot eyes, but after a full five minutes he hadn't even touched Hermes's skin.

This almost drove Vegeta to the brink of a mental breakdown.

not good!

suddenly.

Vegeta soared into the sky, his entire body's energy compressing and condensing, causing Piccolo and the others watching to change their expressions drastically, quickly moving away while roaring in anger.

"Vegeta, do you want to destroy the Earth?"

But Vegeta can't worry about that right now.

He had only one goal: to defeat Hermes.

"Gallic Cannon".

Amid Vegeta's hysterical roar, a purple energy ball descended from the sky, containing enough power to destroy the Earth. It seems Vegeta has truly been pushed to the brink.

For every time Hermes spoke of nonchalance, it was a form of denial and humiliation to him.

This is crueler than killing him.

Bang!

A dazzling light shone forth, and Hermes stood atop the mountain, watching the purple energy ball with its long tail feathers approaching. He simply reached out his right hand and grabbed at it from a distance.

An unimaginable power descended.

The enormous energy sphere began to shrink until it was only the size of a house and collided with Hermes' right hand. The expected devastation and explosion did not occur because the energy sphere was rapidly weakening and the energy inside was being quickly absorbed by Hermes.

The blinding light dissipated.

You can hear the needle drop on site.

Piccolo and the others, who were cursing Vegeta in their hearts, all stared wide-eyed in disbelief, while Vegeta, high in the sky, trembled all over.

"This is impossible."

Vegeta completely lost his composure, unwilling to believe that there was such a huge gap between him and Hermes. He flashed in front of Hermes and continued to attack.

There was a loud bang.

Hermes easily grabbed Vegeta's right fist, then pulled and thrust his knee forward. The terrifying force bent Vegeta into a squatting position, coughing up blood and turning pale.

"I've already told you, you're no match for me."

Hermes shook his head and took a step back, letting Vegeta kneel on the ground with his hands on his stomach.

This child just won't listen to advice.

Right now, he's only in Super Saiyan 1 and Life Return normal form. He hasn't used the Eight Gates, the Big and Small Fruits, or the Kaioken yet. There's also another Super Saiyan form.

Full calculation.

Vegeta trained relentlessly for four or five years, bleeding and sweating, but if we calculate based on four years, Hermes trained for a full 1,400 years, and crucially, he also exploited many bugs.

Can this be compared?

Ignoring Vegeta's existential crisis, Hermes teleported away from his current location.

the other side.

Dr. Gro quickly returned to his rarely visited research lab, and only after entering did he breathe a sigh of relief. There had been too many unexpected events during this operation, and he had almost lost his life.

Thanks to that holy man.

If it weren't for that man, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape.

Once we release Number 17 and Number 18, and they kill everyone, we'll barely spare that man's life!

"Number 17, Number 18, wake up!"

Deep inside the laboratory, Dr. Groh looked at the man and woman lying in two hibernation pods. After inputting the command, the hibernation pods opened, and the two androids began to awaken.

"Dr. Gero."

From the first hibernation pod on the left, emerged a tall, stunningly beautiful woman with blonde hair and blue eyes. Her looks were top-notch; she was none other than Number 18.

"Doctor, it's a pleasure to see you again."

A male voice came from the second hibernation pod, and then a handsome boy wearing a red scarf and blue pants walked out. He looked harmless and sunny.

"Number 17, Number 18!"

"I need you now."

Dr. Gero looked at the two with a solemn expression. It could be said that apart from Cell, who was being nurtured by the computer, these two were his greatest masterpieces. If he wanted to eliminate Goku and Vegeta, none of them could do it.

"We would be happy to help you."

Number 18 and Number 17 exchanged a glance and then caught sight of the emergency stop device on the research table not far away out of the corner of their eyes.

The two were originally a normal pair of twin siblings on Earth, but were captured by Dr. Gro and transformed into androids. When they first awakened, they betrayed Dr. Gro, but because they did not know about the emergency stop device, they were controlled by Dr. Gro using the emergency stop device at a critical moment.

This time, the two of them were smarter.

After waking up, they made no movement and obediently put Dr. Gro's guard down. When they saw the emergency stop device, both Number 18 and Number 17 smiled slightly.

They'll be free once that device is destroyed.

Chapter 607 [A Qualified Entrepreneur]

"Dr. Gro, what do you need us to do?"

Number 18 reached out and brushed her blonde hair behind her ear, her delicate face full of smiles.

Trying to draw Dr. Gro's attention to herself, Number 17 stretched and slowly began to approach the emergency stop device, which was very close to Dr. Gro.

Although Dr. Groh was not as powerful as them, at such close range, he was more than capable of obtaining the emergency stop device faster than them.

"The data for Sun Wukong and others is inaccurate."

"Those guys seem to be able to increase their power through transformation; Number 19 is already obsolete."

Dr. Gro's face was grim.

He still feels lingering fear.

"Number 17, what are you doing?"

Suddenly, Dr. Gro looked at Number 17, who had already left the spot. Looking in that direction, he saw the emergency stop device.

not good.

Without even thinking about it.
