Even though Android 19 absorbed energy once, he was still no match for Android 18.
In less than a minute, Android 18 completely destroyed him.
After finishing off 19, Android 18 clapped his hands and said dismissively, "My hands are really dirty. What bad luck."
"Isn't this a good idea? Just consider it a warm-up exercise for you," Android 17 replied with a smile.
A minute later, 17 and 18 fully activated Android 16.
Boom!
When 16 emerged, he looked at 17 and 18 expressionlessly, without saying a word or making any unnecessary movements.
"You're really weird," 17 said doubtfully. "But even if it's weird, I guess it's still normal, right, 18?"
"Yeah! As long as it's normal, that's fine," 18 answered casually.
To her, as long as 16 seemed functional, the rest didn't matter. As androids, they didn't really care.
When the Z Warriors outside heard the explosion, they rushed over.
The six who arrived were Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, Krillin, Chiaotzu, and Gohan.
As for Goku, he was away on a leisurely trip with Chi-Chi, Bulma, and his daughter.
Vegeta, on the other hand, was pushing himself through brutal training alone.
When the Z Warriors reached the site of the explosion, they saw three figures.
Krillin frowned. "These three… could they be the androids Goku mentioned?"
Tien Shinhan studied them and nodded. "If nothing unexpected happened, then yeah. These must be the androids."
"In that case, what are we waiting for? Let's take them out together!" Yamcha suggested immediately.
But Gohan shook his head, confused. "Uncle Piccolo, those three androids… I can't sense any ki from them."
Piccolo nodded. "Let's go down and meet them. But remember, don't act impulsively."
In Piccolo's view, although these three had no detectable energy, if Goku took them seriously, then they had to be powerful.
Goku wouldn't warn them otherwise.
What Piccolo didn't know was that Goku's real reason was to give the Z Warriors more training.
For Goku himself, these androids weren't challenging at all.
Even the complete form of Cell was no match for Goku's Super Saiyan power.
Android 17 crossed his arms confidently. "It looks like these people noticed us long ago."
"Seems that way," 18 said, hands on her hips, glancing at the group.
At this moment, 16 spoke up rarely: "Based on the data, these people are Goku's companions."
"Oh? Then that makes it even more interesting," 17 smirked, clearly eager to fight and test their strength.
The Z Warriors landed in front of the androids.
Piccolo stepped forward. "You three are androids, right? What's your purpose?"
"Purpose? Simple," 17 replied with a grin. "We were created for only one reason—to kill Goku."
The moment the Z Warriors heard this, their expressions darkened. These androids were definitely enemies.
Being enemies of Goku meant being enemies of them all.
Yamcha stepped forward. "Let me test their strength first!"
"Wait! Don't go, Yamcha. If something happens, we'll be in big trouble," Piccolo quickly stopped him.
Because Piccolo couldn't read the androids' strength, he knew he had to be cautious.
If anything happened to Yamcha, the consequences would be unacceptable.
Understanding Piccolo's reasoning, Yamcha backed down.
After years of fighting together, they trusted each other's judgment.
Piccolo then waved his hand. "You guys step back. Let me face them first."
Among the group, Piccolo was the strongest, so it was best for him to test the androids.
Tien Shinhan, Krillin, Yamcha, Chiaotzu, and Gohan retreated more than 200 meters, leaving the battlefield clear.
"Hah! Confident, aren't you?" 17 smirked.
"You'll see soon enough," Piccolo replied, shifting into a battle stance.
Android 16's eyes flickered. "That Namekian is powerful. You two should be careful."
"Strong, huh? Interesting. I'll handle this," 18 said, stepping forward eagerly.
Her fight with 19 hadn't satisfied her, and this so-called Namekian seemed like the perfect opponent.
Piccolo's expression darkened when he saw the woman step forward.
"A woman? Don't think I'll go easy on you just because of that. But you're not really human—you're an android."
He immediately began gathering energy, his body swelling with power.
Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, Krillin, and Chiaotzu were shocked by the sheer force Piccolo displayed.
Only Gohan remained calm—he had already seen Uncle Piccolo's full strength before.
