Gohan suddenly said, "But… you seem kind of strange. Why are you wearing the scouter they use…?"
Halfway through, he abruptly stopped—like he'd thought of something. Just as he was about to back away, he got punched in the face by Ginyu and was sent flying. After he hit the ground, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Even though he didn't fully understand what was happening, one thing was certain:
The person in front of him was definitely not his dad.
Ginyu laughed loudly. "I swapped bodies with him. His body is stronger, after all. I'll use you guys as a little experiment—let's see just how strong power above one hundred and eighty thousand really is!"
As he spoke, he charged in.
The moment he heard that, Vegeta's pupils shrank.
Kakarot's battle power… had already reached one hundred and eighty thousand!?
But looking at his attacking style, it didn't resemble someone with a battle power of one hundred and eighty thousand at all. Could it be that because he'd just switched bodies, he still couldn't control the ki properly?
At that moment, Goku also came flying over in Ginyu's battered body. The fact that he could even make it here was already difficult—let alone fight.
Ginyu stopped, looking at him with amused interest, and grinned. "Impressive. You can still crawl your way over here. If I'd known, I would've left you with even worse injuries."
Goku clutched the wound on his chest and spoke with difficulty. "Gohan… listen carefully. That guy isn't me. He swapped bodies with me. That guy is Ginyu. Don't hold back—go all out. With your current strength, you won't lose. Believe me. Beat him up hard."
Hearing that, Ginyu laughed even harder. "Idiot. Saying you 'definitely won't lose'? This is your body—your body with battle power above one hundred and eighty thousand. How could I possibly lose!?"
Goku curled his lips slightly. "Try it and you'll see. That's my body. Forget Kaiōken—you can't even use the ki inside it. If mind and body can't work together, you can't bring out your full power."
Ginyu sneered. "That kind of bluff won't fool me. I'll show you my battle power—Jeice!"
As he spoke, he began gathering energy. Jeice activated the scouter.
But no matter how hard Ginyu strained, his battle power didn't rise at all. It stayed stuck around twenty thousand.
Ginyu had no idea what was going on. He could clearly feel tremendous power inside his body—so why couldn't he bring it out?
Jeice was so shocked he couldn't even speak.
Goku shouted, "That's my body! When your thoughts and body don't match, you can't bring out the real power! Gohan, with your strength right now, you can definitely beat him!"
Gohan didn't hesitate. He slammed a fist into Ginyu's face, then followed with a barrage of consecutive attacks.
Ginyu suddenly felt like he couldn't put strength where he wanted. He had no ability to block—he could only rely on battle experience to keep dodging. Even so, Gohan's punches kept landing on his body again and again. The pain grew stronger, his speed slowed, and his movements became increasingly sluggish.
Ginyu forced himself to pull back and yelled at Jeice, "What are you spacing out for!? Get up here and help me!"
Only then did Jeice snap back to reality. The captain he'd always thought was invincible… couldn't even beat this brat.
He was just about to move in
When a hand pressed down on his shoulder, forcing him back down.
Jeice stiffened.
Vegeta appeared behind him and sneered. "Your opponent is me."
At the same time, Creed also reached the Grand Elder's location. But he didn't see Frieza.
After speaking with the Grand Elder, he learned the Elder had already passed his power to Dende, and that his guardian, Nail, was currently struggling in a bitter fight against Frieza.
After thinking for a moment, Creed decided to return to the area near the spaceship first, to see whether Gohan had gotten the Dragon Ball.
Even now, he still believed Goku would definitely defeat Ginyu.
"Why…" Ginyu's lips trembled. "This body should be able to release battle power above one hundred and eighty thousand!"
Gohan said, "Didn't you hear what Dad just said? You don't know how to use that body properly. If you ask me, you should be smart and surrender early."
"Surrender? You want Captain Ginyu to surrender? With your pathetic little tricks, you think you can make me surrender? You've got a lot of nerve!"
Feeling utterly humiliated, Ginyu charged in again. Like a madman, he grappled and brawled with Gohan.
Meanwhile, Vegeta and Jeice were already fighting as well.
After eating a Senzu Bean and recovering from his near-death injuries, Vegeta's strength had risen once again. Jeice's attacks had no effect at all—he could only fight while retreating. Their figures flickered through the air, fists and kicks colliding without pause.
"You… how did you hide yourself!? Why can't my scouter detect your reaction at all!?"
"You rely too much on scouters. After fighting those Earthlings, you should've sensed it by now. But either way, you're not making it out of today alive."
"Don't dream! Our Ginyu Force is made up of the strongest warriors in the universe! A wild monkey like you could never beat me!"
The more Jeice spoke, the more worked up he became. With a bang, he drove a punch into Vegeta's face.
Before Jeice could even celebrate, Vegeta let out a cruel, gleeful laugh. "From the start, you've been bragging nonstop. The truth is, you're afraid of my strength. It's fine—turn on your scouter. Take a good look. I don't mind."
"Afraid? I'd be afraid of trash like you!?"
Even as Jeice said that, he still activated the scouter.
The battle value on the display climbed rapidly.
Jeice grit his teeth, ripped the scouter off, and shouted, "This thing has to be broken!"
"You really think it's malfunctioning?" Vegeta lifted the corner of his mouth. "Every time I come back from the edge of death, I become even stronger. In the end, I'll break past the limits of the Super Saiyan and become the strongest in the universe. To be honest, I've already noticed it—my growth has surpassed even the limits of a genius. In other words… I'm getting closer and closer to becoming a Super Saiyan."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Jeice roared. His voice was loud, but the fear he was trying to hide couldn't be covered up.
Vegeta sneered. "Let me tell you. A Super Saiyan is the strongest warrior in the universe—bloodthirsty and battle-crazed. Kakarot is too naive, so he can't break through the limit. But I'm different."
Jeice couldn't take it anymore. He raised his hand and fired a powerful red shockwave.
The distance was too close.
The shockwave exploded instantly on Vegeta's body.
