"The Namekian Resistance" is the two hundred and fifty-fourth chapter of the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. It was first published in Japan in the 1990 #03/04 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.

Summary

Zarbon yells out that the elder's target was the scouters, and Gohan notes that that is the thing that detects people's strength and location. Kuririn realizes that they did not have some kind of radar to find the location of the Dragon Balls, but they were searching out the Namekians themselves with the scouters. Dodoria gets pissed and threatens to kill them all, then flies up into the air after the elder. Freeza yells at him to wait and kill the three young ones first. Dodoria comes back to the ground and faces them, and tells them it should only take ten seconds to take care of them. But one of the Namekians says he thinks the three of them can stand their ground against him.

"You think you can hold your own against me, you say? What a funny joke!" Dodoria suddenly appears behind one of them and puts his arm straight through his chest. He pulls it out and fires a huge mouth blast at the next Namekian. Finally he swipes at last Namekian, who jumps up into the air and starts running away. Dodoria chases after him, so he turns around and throws a two-handed ki blast at Dodoria. There is a giant explosion and the man thinks he has won, but when the smoke clears Dodoria is unharmed. Dodoria flies straight at him and headbutts him straight into a hillside, killing him. Freeza tells the elder he must realize it is pointless to defy him any further and asks him to come down. The elder hesitates a bit, but finally comes back down to the ground and Freeza is glad he is being a little more obedient.

"You have broken our very important scouters. Don't you think you should apologize and hand over the Dragon Ball? You probably understand how we work now, right? So, if you are stubborn, the children will die next." The elder relents, so long as they promise to leave the children out of this. Kuririn notices Gohan's ki rising with his anger, and warns him that he is no match for these guys. The elder then gives the Four-Star Ball[a] over to one of the henchmen and Freeza asks him to tell them where the other two Dragon Balls are. The elder refuses to sell out the other Namekians and Freeza says he will just have to die then, along with the children. The elder freaks out at hearing this, when Dodoria suddenly attacks him.
