"Recoome? How could he come to Earth? Damn it! These guys were monitoring my conversations!" Under the siege of Son Goku and Piccolo, Vegeta still had the leisure to look at the small spaceship landing in the distance. Through the battle power detector, he easily identified the newcomer.
Vegeta actually had significant issues with his mindset. Before he thoroughly recognized himself and shook off the haze of the past, his personality appeared extremely extreme. When triumphant, he was arrogant and conceited; when weak, he was dejected and dispirited. This point was particularly evident when facing Frieza or Broly.
At this moment, the battle power detector told him that members of the Ginyu Force had followed him to Earth, and his expression appeared extremely unnatural.
Vegeta gritted his back teeth, his face full of gloom.
Son Goku also sensed the sudden arrival of the strong enemy through ki detection. Worried about the safety of Krillin, Chi-Chi, and Gohan, he was about to go over there to rescue them.
Fortunately, North Kai stopped him in time: "Ino will be there immediately; she will solve this new enemy."

On the other side.
The pineapple-headed burly man, Recoome, was grinning like a fool. He blocked Krillin's path, looking left and right with exaggerated movements, and muttered to himself: "Where is that esper with a battle power over 30,000? I'm so happy, Captain Ginyu can start thinking about a six-man formation! Hahahaha—!"
The pressure of Recoome's descent was even stronger than Vegeta's. Krillin attempted to retreat with Chi-Chi and Gohan, mother and son, but he discovered that this muscle-bound giant seemed to have fixed his eyes on him.
"Earthling? The one next to you seems to be... a Saiyan, and a child at that?" Recoome stared with a pair of bull-like eyes: "It's truly unimaginable that there are still newborn Saiyans."
"Hey!" Krillin shouted from afar. "Who are you? Are you also Vegeta's accomplice?"
"Me?" Recoome pointed at himself with his thumb. "I am..."
He stood in place, his left hand clenched in front of his chest, his right hand with five fingers together pointing diagonally at the sky, making a movement like a carrier-based aircraft navigator.
"I am the Ginyu Force!"
He raised both hands high above his head, clapped in the air, and spread his feet apart: "Recoome, HI!"
Then he thrust his head forward forcefully, spread his arms like wings, supported himself on his left leg, kept his body parallel to the ground, mimicking a flight pose: "Reporting for duty!"
Krillin and Chi-Chi stared dead at this big guy. The two were quite frightened, feeling that this humanoid monster was the temperamental type. Chi-Chi, who hadn't trained for many years, was so scared her legs trembled.
Son Gohan was indeed a big-hearted Saiyan. Hiding behind his mother, not only did he show no fear, but he was actually a little excited. He felt this alien's poses were quite handsome, and the opponent's series of movements opened a brand-new door for him.
Just when Krillin and Chi-Chi thought this alien would perform in place for a while longer, Recoome revealed a rather cruel smile: "First, I'll take down Kakarot's brat!"
"Recoome, launch!"
His muscles knotted all over his body, energy instantly filling his whole form, pressing down like a giant mountain.
Krillin attempted to resist, but the gap between the two sides was too great. Just Recoome's aura alone pressed him to near suffocation.
He used his thin and small body to block Chi-Chi and Gohan: "You guys run! Run fast! It's too late, close your eyes first!"
The voice squeezed out from between his teeth, somewhat distorted, but he still mustered his courage, placed his hands beside his temples, and converted all the ki in his body into light energy.
"Solar Flare!"
The sudden intense light shot into Recoome's eyes. This muscular giant immediately stopped his charging movement and subconsciously went to cover his eyes.
"Ouch!"
"Ouch!"
One after another, two voices sounded simultaneously.
Ino, who had rushed over to save people, was also hit by this Solar Flare.
Her eyes wouldn't stop tearing up, and even after rubbing them seven or eight times, they didn't recover.
Krillin said blankly: "S-Sorry... Before I used it, I actually gave a warning..."
"Your voice was too quiet, I didn't hear it!" Ino was speechless. Recoome fell for it because he was close; she fell for it because her eyesight was too good.
This move couldn't really be counted as very exquisite, but used at a critical moment, it indeed had unexpected effects.
Recoome was relatively less affected by the Solar Flare. This strong man didn't rely on his eyes to fight. He opened his big mouth, let out a roar, and delivered a knee strike towards Ino's direction like a hungry tiger descending a mountain.
"Shinra Tensei!"
Ino's vision hadn't fully recovered yet. She could only rely on her sensory abilities to detect the enemy's movements, then used a large-range repulsive force to repel the enemy.
"Oww—!" Recoome let out a strange cry as he was pushed into the sky. "It's you, right?! The esper with a battle power of 30,000! Come on, come join the great Ginyu Force! I was ordered by the Captain to find you!"
Ino finally recovered her vision at this time. She let out a "Hmph." When she clung to thighs, she was selective about the person. Ginyu? How much did they look down on her?
She reached out and pointed behind her; the Crossing Moon Bridge appeared out of thin air.
"The upcoming battle will be relatively intense. You guys go to my house to take shelter for now."
Krillin and Chi-Chi looked at each other. Taking shelter on an alien planet? Was this appropriate?
"Th-This..." Krillin was still a bit hesitant, but Ino urged them: "You stay. Let Chi-Chi and her son go over quickly."
There was no problem with this arrangement. Chi-Chi took Gohan and stepped onto the Crossing Moon Bridge. She was also a bandit's daughter back in the day; she had guts. The sentiment that a mother becomes strong for her children was a huge boost for her.
Chi-Chi took Gohan onto the bridge, and they disappeared at the other end of the gate of light.
"You won't agree to their recruitment, will you?" Krillin asked in a low voice.
"How is that possible?!"
"That's good, that's good!"
Krillin asked: "Is there anything I can help with?"
Ino already had a draft plan for this: "Depending on the situation, use that flash technique you just did."
"That move is called Solar Flare."
"Alright, Solar Flare. Find the right opportunity to release it. Before you release it, use your Earth language to give me a warning."
Ino and Krillin exchanged a couple of sentences briefly. On the other side, Recoome had already charged over with a face full of excitement.
Recruitment?
Beat them into submission first, then recruit! This was the Ginyu Force's process for recruiting new members; they didn't want weaklings.
"Recoome Elbow!"
The surging energy inside his body gushed out like a sea tide.
Speaking purely of physical strength, this guy was as strong as a monster. After being boosted by the energy within his body, he was even more like a humanoid giant beast.
Ino also immediately used the Kaio-ken.
"Kaio-ken x2!"
After raising her own battle power to 30,000, she barely caught up to the opponent's speed.
The Kaio-ken x2 now placed a very low load on her body; she could maintain it for almost a long time.
She drew the Hero's Sword, her gaze focused. Without dodging or evading, shua shua shua, she slashed out three times head-on.
