Chapter 30 Naru's Combat Strength
After several days of traveling through space, despite a minor incident, Rhodes and Ella still managed to cross the Milky Way and finally catch a glimpse of Namek.
Chi Chi Chi!
As the spaceship entered the atmosphere, Rhodes looked out at a world with few human traces, covered with various vegetation, and felt a surge of anticipation for the mission ahead.
hum~
Shortly after, the spaceship successfully landed on the ground, the hatch opened, and the two people stepped out.
At this moment, Rhodes and Ella were still wearing the combat suits of Frieza's army, simply because these suits did indeed offer good protection.
In particular, it has excellent elasticity and will not be damaged even when transformed into a giant ape.
In fact, Rhodes had already asked Dr. Briff to conduct research in this area; however, because the research period was short, the materials Rhodes brought did not include this knowledge.
So, there hasn't been much progress yet.
boom!
After stepping off the spaceship, Rhodes pressed a button on the ship, and as a puff of smoke dissipated, the spaceship transformed into a multi-functional capsule.
However, thanks to Dr. Brief's modifications, this spaceship can now be stored away, which is both convenient and prevents accidents that could lead to losses.
"Rhodes, the strongest being on this planet is over there. Shall we head straight there?"
As Rhode put away his spaceship, Ella located the strongest person on Namek and looked at him as she spoke.
Hearing Ella's words, Rod put away the spaceship and nodded to her: "Of course, that should be where the Namekian Grand Elder is located. As long as he agrees to let us use the Dragon Balls, everything will be simple."
"Let's go!"
Once they identified their target, the two did not hesitate. They leaped into the air and, with a burst of energy, flew at an extremely fast speed toward the location of the Namekian Grand Elder.
Before long, the two could see the building where the Grand Elder lived in the distance.
But at that moment, a powerful aura erupted, and then the two saw a tall, slender figure with green skin, tentacles, and bulging muscles fly out of the building.
With a burst of energy, this person rushed over at an extremely fast speed and stopped the two of them.
The newcomer was none other than Nail, the only combat-type Namekian on this planet, the Elder's bodyguard, and also the strongest among them.
Upon seeing that the newcomers were two Saiyan children, Nail was puzzled, but because of the Saiyans' notorious reputation, he didn't welcome them and spoke coldly:
"Saiyans, this planet is not for you!"
As he spoke, Naru was also sizing up the two of them, paying particular attention to Rhodes. He could sense that the Saiyan boy was extremely dangerous.
"Oh?"
Rhodes was neither surprised nor bothered by Naru's dislike, but Ella, who was standing to the side, sensed that Naru's power was comparable to her own, and she immediately became interested in fighting.
Ella looked at Naru with excitement in her eyes and challenged him, "Hey, let's have a fight!"
Before she could finish speaking, Ella moved and rushed forward, raising her hand to punch Neru in the face.
Seeing Ella and Neru fight, Rhodes ignored it. After all, it wasn't more than twenty years later. Based on his perception, he estimated that Neru's combat power was only around 20,000, which was similar to Ella's.
"Elder, we mean no harm; you should be able to sense that!"
When Ella rushed to fight Naru, Rhodes did not cross the battlefield to see the Grand Elder rashly. He did not want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so he focused his breath and spoke to the Grand Elder in a building not far away.
Not long after Rhode's voice faded, a mature yet slightly aged voice rang in his ears: "Child, I can clearly sense the peace within you. You are very different from other Saiyans!"
"Should I tell Ella to stop?"
Seeing the Elder's response and watching Ella's increasingly intense fight, Rhodes couldn't help but make this suggestion.
"No need. Although Nail is a combat-type Namekian with decent strength, his actual combat ability is not strong. Now is a good time to train him."
The Grand Elder refused Rhodes's idea to stop the fight.
On the entire Namekian planet, Nail's power is second only to the Grand Elder, far surpassing that of other Namekians.
However, as a guard, he had been stationed by the Grand Elder's side for many years. Although he had sparred with other clansmen, he had never fought with all his might.
It can be said that Neru has almost zero experience in all-out combat.
And that was indeed the case. In the initial probing phase of their battle with Ella, neither of them used their full strength, and for a time they were evenly matched.
However, as both sides continued to improve their strength, Neru, who lacked combat experience, quickly fell into a disadvantageous position, and the disadvantage grew larger and larger!
boom!
Ella's left palm slashed like a knife towards Neru's neck. He hurriedly reached out to block, but just as he was blocking, Ella's right fist slammed directly into his abdomen.
Seeing this, Neru quickly lowered his arms to block, but Ella advanced instead of retreating, and punched Neru's arm hard as he hurriedly tried to block.
In such a hurry, how could he possibly withstand Ella's premeditated heavy blow? Neru's arm only managed to block for a moment before Ella's fist broke through his defenses and slammed heavily into his abdomen.
puff!
The abdomen was struck hard, Neru's eyes bulged out, his body instantly arched like a shrimp, and he fell into a dazed state.
However, Ella did not stop there. She flashed above him, crossed her hands, clenched them, and slammed them into the back of Naru's neck, slamming him hard into the ground below.
boom!
Naru's body went out of control, and he crashed to the ground like a cannonball, instantly creating a deep crater. Naru, who was in the center of the crater, didn't recover for a long time.
"Tch! That's boring!"
Ella slammed Naru to the ground, not even bothering to give chase. The whole thing was a complete rout, which she found utterly boring, so she grumbled in annoyance. Then she looked at Rhodes and asked, "Shall we go straight to that Elder?"
boom!
As Ella's voice fell, a figure shot over, and upon closer inspection, it was none other than Neru.
However, Nail was in a very disheveled state at this moment, with purple liquid hanging from the corner of his mouth, which should be Namekian blood. But his eyes were exceptionally sharp, full of fighting spirit and perseverance.
We absolutely cannot allow these two Saiyans to threaten the Grand Elder!
At this moment, Neru roared in his heart, stubbornly standing in front of Rod and Ella.
"Neru, you've done well. Step back. They meant no harm."
Just then, a voice came from behind. Looking in the direction of the voice, they saw an extremely tall Namekian walk out of the building, come up to them, and gently pat Nail on the shoulder.
This person is none other than the Grand Elder, the ancestor of the Namekians, and a survivor of this planet after the Great Cataclysm.
Now, he is not as old and frail as he was more than twenty years later. Although his face has begun to show signs of aging, he is still very strong and his aura is quite powerful.
Seeing that the Grand Elder was different from what he remembered, Rhodes was surprised but quickly accepted it. He stepped forward, looked at the Grand Elder, and spoke with a hint of respect:
"Greetings, Elder. We have come here to borrow the Dragon Ball."
