As the battle between Piccolo and Cell raged on, the Z Warriors realized that Cell's strength now surpassed Piccolo's.
Seeing this, they couldn't help but grow anxious.
Even Piccolo, who had tremendous power, was no match for Perfect Form Cell.
Vegeta clenched his fists, gritting his teeth. "These two bastards… and Kakarot! Why hasn't he shown up yet? What the hell is he doing?"
Vegeta's anger stemmed from being overtaken by both Cell and Piccolo.
The widening gap between them, and Kakarot's absence, made him furious.
He now realized the strength he had always been proud of was insufficient to match these warriors.
During the battle, Cell suddenly boosted his power to an even higher level.
He accelerated, knocking Piccolo backward hundreds of meters through the air before he barely stopped.
Blood flowed from the corner of Piccolo's mouth, and his face was grim.
Cell sneered at Piccolo's battered form. "What? Piccolo, can't even fight back? I wasn't even using 90% of my power! Or is this all you can do?!"
......
"Damn it, Cell. I seriously underestimated you!" Piccolo wiped blood from his mouth and analyzed Cell's power.
To be honest, Cell was incredibly strong.
Piccolo knew he had almost no chance of winning, no matter how hard he tried. The gap in power couldn't be closed by effort alone.
Cell wondered why Goku hadn't appeared yet.
Did he need to escalate the situation further before Goku would intervene? His eyes turned cold.
Piccolo sensed the shift in Cell's aura and knew he was about to get serious.
Then Cell grinned. "Since that guy Goku won't show up on his own, I'll force him to."
"What does he mean?" Piccolo thought with unease. He knew Cell would start killing to bait Goku.
Cell's gaze landed on Gohan. "I'm sure he won't hold back if we kill his son!"
Without hesitation, Cell charged toward Gohan.
"Wait, Cell! Stop right now!" Piccolo shouted, chasing him. But he couldn't keep up.
Gohan's face was filled with fear as Cell's fist neared his head.
Just as Cell was about to strike, a hand blocked him.
Cell froze. Shocked, he said, "It's you, Goku! How did you get here so fast?"
Gohan's eyes lit up. "Dad! You're here!"
The Z Warriors smiled. With Goku here, the battle's outcome was now secure.
They had never seen anything Goku couldn't handle.
Piccolo, relieved, approached Gohan. "Goku, you're finally here."
Finally, the pressure on Piccolo lifted. Goku's presence changed everything.
......
Vegeta's eyes never left Goku. "Kakarot, you're finally here. Show me your strength. Don't disappoint me."
Cell chose to keep his distance, focusing only on Goku.
Goku smiled at Piccolo. "You've done well. Leave the rest to me!"
Piccolo, though still grim, finally relaxed. "I should have handed this over to you earlier," he muttered.
He then joined Gohan and the others to watch.
Goku faced Cell. "Let's see what you've got."
Cell, feeling challenged, released all the power of his perfect form.
The force pushed the Z Warriors back, though Piccolo remained steady.
No. 16 analyzed the situation. "Perfect Cell is powerful, but Goku is stronger."
Cell's body radiated golden light. "Goku, this is my true power. How do you like it?"
Goku remained calm, aware that Cell still had hidden power.
The current power level was strong, but not the peak he would unleash against a full-power opponent.
Cell grew furious at Goku's composure. "Goku, you'll learn what real hell is!"
Goku crossed his arms, then suddenly surged with energy.
Light exploded around him, and he ascended into Super Saiyan form effortlessly.
......
Cell's grin widened. "Goku, very good! Now it'll be a real fight."
Goku's power now matched or exceeded Cell's, and the battle would be thrilling.
Cell ignored everyone else, focusing solely on Goku.
The Z Warriors were elated. Yamcha cheered, "Yes! Goku's a Super Saiyan—he can beat Cell!"
Krillin analyzed carefully. "Hmm… but Goku isn't using full power yet. His strength should be even higher."
Tien Shinhan nodded. "Agreed. Let's wait and see. Goku will definitely win."
Gohan, brimming with confidence, added, "Dad can definitely defeat Cell."
Piccolo smiled. "We just need to watch. Goku won't lose."
He knew Goku was hiding his full power, and whether Cell could force him to reveal it remained to be seen.
Vegeta ignored Cell, eyes fixed on Kakarot. For him, only Goku mattered now.
Cell lunged at Goku, moving so fast the Z Warriors could barely see him. Only Piccolo could track his movements.
As Cell's fist neared Goku, he dodged effortlessly. Cell attacked again with both hands, but all attacks were evaded.
Cell roared in frustration. "Goku, fight seriously! You're just dodging? What is this?"
Goku moved calmly, countering every strike. Cell realized he was being outmatched in skill, even in his perfect form.
Vegeta gasped. "Cell's attacks aren't working. Only someone far stronger than Cell could do this. How strong is Kakarot?"
Jiaozi said, "Tien Shinhan, Goku's overwhelming Cell. There's nothing he can do."
Tien Shinhan smiled. "Yes! Goku will definitely win."
Krillin shook his head. "I can't believe how strong Goku has become. The gap between us and him is enormous."
Yamcha sighed. "Yeah… this gap isn't just big—it's impossible to overcome in a hundred lifetimes."
Piccolo observed closely. "Goku's perception and combat skills are several levels above Cell's. His vision is incredible."
"No matter what hidden power Cell has, the outcome is inevitable."
