King Frieza had been gone for half a day, and no one knew where he had gone.
Slug felt that this place was his domain again!
After learning what the Dragon Balls were for, he started getting ideas.
If he could wish for immortality, what would he have to fear from Frieza?
Nothing at all!
But Frieza's tyranny still cast a long shadow, so to be safe, Slug decided to wait one more day!
If Frieza still hadn't appeared after a day, then he would stop holding back.
As for the Ginyu Force, in his eyes they were a bunch of clowns—and weak ones at that!
The poses they struck as a team were so awkward it hurt to watch.
Being ugly wasn't a problem. Being stupid wasn't a problem either. The real issue was not knowing it!
They had absolutely no self-awareness!
They were just so annoying!
Especially Dodoria, who acted as if Frieza were the boss and he were second-in-command.
If King Frieza hadn't praised Dodoria before leaving, Slug would definitely have taught that lackey a lesson!
No, he would've taught him how to be a dog!
First, he'd break one of his legs. Weren't all lackeys supposed to be crippled?
He'd just put up with him for one more day!
Far to the northwest of the wrecked spaceship, beyond the reach of anyone's sight, stood a stone-faced Nail beside the Grand Elder, along with Dende, who had narrowly survived the disaster. He was also known as Tenten.
The Grand Elder placed his hand on Vegeta's head. Vegeta looked thoroughly displeased, but then a powerful surge of energy welled up inside him.
Vegeta clenched his fist, unable to believe it!
He felt like he could beat ten Friezas to death!
If they'd had Scouters, they would have shown that Vegeta's battle power had reached a terrifying 300,000!
With that kind of power, he could instantly kill anyone on the planet except Frieza and Slug.
Vegeta felt like he was the brightest star on the planet!
"Come on! Do it again!"
Faced with Vegeta's unreasonable demand, the Grand Elder could only smile helplessly.
Mainly because he couldn't beat him!
If only he'd unlocked Nail's potential first. With Nail's battle power of 42,000, he should have been able to crush Vegeta after having his potential unlocked.
"I can only unlock someone's potential once in their life... Cough... Cough, cough!"
"Grand Elder!"
"Grand Elder!"
Nail and Dende stepped forward, their eyes full of worry.
The Grand Elder waved them off, indicating that he was fine.
"Nail, come here. You're the finest warrior on Namek. Your strength is needed to face this disaster."
Nail wanted to refuse, but in the end he obediently lowered his head beneath the Grand Elder's hand.
Ten seconds later, Nail received an astonishing boost too. It wasn't as absurd as Vegeta's tenfold increase, but his battle power still reached 350,000!
His energy immediately overwhelmed Vegeta's, but Vegeta's eyes still held that infuriating look of contempt!
Hmph! Just give Prince Vegeta a few days to train, and beating him will be a piece of cake!
As for Son Gohan and Krillin, after having their potential unlocked, their battle powers were only 20,000 and 15,000. Vegeta felt a little ashamed to be allied with them.
"Whether Kakarot shows up or not doesn't matter. I'll take care of Frieza myself!"
Vegeta declared arrogantly. A white aura flared around him, and he kicked off the ground, speeding toward the spaceship.
"Vegeta!" x2
Son Gohan and Krillin tried to stop him, but Vegeta had been swept away by his enormous surge in power and wouldn't listen to reason.
"Child, go help them. The evil invading us this time is more than he can handle alone!"
The Grand Elder still didn't know that King Cold was dead. He also had no idea that the enemy they now faced was one of his own people, someone who had fled the previous Namek alongside him!
Slug, hailed as the most gifted Namekian warrior!
The culprit behind this theatrical turn of events, Frieza, was fast asleep in Bulma's house.
And Bulma?
After eating the Tree of Might fruit, she'd spent a long time with diarrhea, but hadn't felt the slightest bit unwell.
In fact, she felt better than ever.
Her skin was smoother, her hair silkier, and her figure had improved, with more curves in all the right places. She felt especially delighted with her little face, which looked so soft and dewy that a pinch might make it drip!
As for the fact that the Tree of Might fruit had raised her battle power to 1,000, she didn't care in the slightest.
Beauty was what mattered most!
She wasn't interested in fighting at all.
Looking at Frieza asleep in the guest room, she wondered if people had misunderstood him. Maybe he wasn't as bad as she'd imagined.
On the contrary, Frieza struck her as quite polite and very refined. Compared with Son Goku, he was practically a gentleman.
"Maybe your appearance has caused people to misunderstand you! Should we find the Dragon Balls and change the way you look?"
Heh~
Women really were shallow!
Then she remembered that this man sleeping so soundly had personally killed his own father, at least in name.
Before long, Bulma came up with another excuse that she thought made perfect sense.
"King Cold must have been causing trouble everywhere in your name. You couldn't stand it, so you did the right thing and killed your own father!"
Leaving Bulma to her wild imaginings, Vegeta had now run into the Ginyu Force.
Vegeta was brimming with power and confidence!
"Quit playing rock-paper-scissors, you idiots! All of you, come at me. If I even flinch, that bald kid will grow hair!"
Huh?
The Ginyu Force: "..."
Krillin and Son Gohan, still struggling to fly over: "..."
As for Nail, he'd run away~~
His excuse was, "I'm the Grand Elder's bodyguard. His safety comes before everything else. The rest of you will have to handle the fight!"
Krillin wholeheartedly agreed with Nail's decision in public, but secretly gave him the middle finger.
Damn you!
If he weren't sure they couldn't beat the enemy, and if he weren't holding the One-Star Dragon Ball, he would've raised both middle fingers.
And shouted, "You shameless bastard!"
The battle began!
The battle was over!
The difference of hundreds of thousands in battle power was more than enough for Vegeta to wipe out the Ginyu Force in an instant.
Captain Ginyu might have had a battle power of 120,000, but under Vegeta's brutal attack, he didn't even have time to use Body Change before he was blasted to pieces.
As for Zarbon, who had recovered after emergency treatment, he had been mixing cocktails in the back and managed to escape the carnage.
Vegeta wasn't Son Goku. His personality was different now from what it would be later. If he could kill someone in one blow, he wouldn't waste even a second!
You could only afford to fool around if you had the strength to back it up.
After this fight, Vegeta's confidence swelled even more.
It was as if a BGM had started playing in the sky.
"I'm the brightest, the brightest guy on the block!
When I walk, I've got to strut with style!
Sunglasses on, hair tossed just right!
The moment I step out, I'm turning heads!
Can't help it, can't help it—I was born this good-looking!
With my strength, there's no way I can keep a low profile!"
"Shenron! Just make me twenty centimeters taller!"
"I don't want immortality anymore!"
"Ha ha ha! Frieza, are you ready to die?!"
Before you continue
