The Ginyu Force Arrives

Outside the tent, by the extinguished campfire.

Mu Yang and the others sat in a circle around the fire, with only Whis standing expressionless by Mu Yang's side.

"So, you're here to intercept the Ginyu Force?"

"That's right."

"Do you need my help?"

"No need! You must not even think about helping! The Ginyu Force is terrifying; only the elites of the Galactic Patrol can stand against them."

"A weakling like you shouldn't try to be a hero."

Jaco didn't want his fan to rush out and throw his life away, so he held up a finger and warned him with a serious expression.

"Alright then, good luck."

Mu Yang chuckled and shook his head, not bothering to persuade him further. It wouldn't matter if Jaco failed; he was there to cover for him anyway.

Having watched Dragon Ball, he knew deep down just how powerful the Ginyu Force's strength and abilities were.

This was definitely not something Jaco, with his combat power of only 3,000, could match!

"Don't worry, leave it all to me."

Jaco patted his chest in assurance; he wouldn't dream of losing face in front of his fan.

Only Merus and Tights, who knew Jaco inside and out, exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with bitter smiles.

Here he goes again.

Jaco's vanity.

Mu Yang looked toward Jaco, full of smiles, "I believe in you, Jaco."

"Hahaha, don't you worry."

Jaco's vanity inflated even further, "I, the strongest elite of the Galactic Patrol, Jaco, will definitely capture the Ginyu Force and keep you all safe."

"So, how long until the Ginyu Force arrives?"

"Tomorrow."

It was Merus who spoke.

Mu Yang trusted the words of this familiar yet strange trainee angel.

"Then let's wait until tomorrow."

The next day.

Mu Yang and the others woke up early and laid in ambush on the hillside, looking toward the clearing of boulders in the distance.

According to Merus, this was where the Ginyu Force would land.

"Will the Ginyu Force really land here?"

Jaco was still skeptical, "Why do you trust Merus's words so much? Even though he's an elite of our patrol, he isn't always right."

"I trust Merus's judgment."

Although Mu Yang said this, he knew in his heart that the reason he trusted Merus was mostly because of his identity as a trainee angel.

Angels do not lie.

"But we've been waiting for an hour already."

Jaco sighed and looked at the clearing ahead, "We haven't even seen a shadow of the Ginyu Force."

Jaco was unaware of Merus's true identity.

"They're here."

Merus's expression turned solemn as he issued a warning; in his perception, the Ginyu Force's spacecraft were descending toward this location at high speed.

"BOOM!!!"

Five spherical spacecraft slammed into the ground from the sky, emitting a violent roar.

"CLACK!"

The hatches of the spherical spacecraft opened, and five figures of various shapes emerged.

"Ah, they actually appeared!!"

Jaco let out an exclamation, his excitement impossible to hide, "Great, now we can capture them."

"You idiot Jaco, don't be so loud!"

Merus said with some concern, "What if we get discovered?"

The strength of the Ginyu Force made Merus dare not be careless, even though the Ginyu Force would be nothing but ants if he used his true power.

However, he couldn't use his true power right now.

"Don't worry, Merus."

Jaco patted his chest happily, assuring him, "There is absolutely no way the Ginyu Force could discover us."

"After all, the distance between us is still a bit far."

Jeice, one of the Ginyu Force, twitched his ears slightly. His gaze suddenly swept toward the position where Jaco was hiding, and he shouted, "Who's there?"

"Whoosh!"

An energy sphere was fired, shattering the rock that had been shielding Jaco into pieces.

Boom.

As lime dust splattered, Jaco's figure appeared in the Ginyu Force's line of sight.

"Hi, how are you guys doing!"

Cold sweat beaded on Jaco's forehead as he waved in greeting, "The weather is really nice today, isn't it?"

"Jaco, prepare for battle."

Since they were sharing the same large rock to conceal their figures, Merus, Mu Yang, and the others were also immediately revealed before the Ginyu Force.

"Natives? Aborigines?"

Guldo guessed.

"Idiot! Can't you see the uniforms they're wearing? Those are Galactic Patrol uniforms."

Jeice cursed at Guldo, frustrated by his incompetence, while Ginyu let out a cold sneer, staring at Jaco and the others.

"It just so happens that Lord Frieza often says the Galactic Patrol ruins his plans. Today, we'll slaughter these two Galactic Patrol members to make Lord Frieza happy."

"Jeice, check the combat power of these two Galactic Patrol members."

As Ginyu's cold laughter faded, Jeice activated the scouter on his left eye and began to measure the combat power of the two Galactic Patrol members.

As for the two girls and the child, Jeice felt there was no need to check them at all.

He ignored Mu Yang and the others entirely, focusing his gaze solely on Jaco.

The numbers on the combat power detector fluctuated.

100... 500... 1000... 3000...

Finally, it stopped at three thousand.

Jeice sneered and reported to Captain Ginyu, "Captain Ginyu, one of the Galactic Patrol small-fry is at three thousand."

"Hmph, that level of combat power doesn't even count as an elite of the Galactic Patrol; he's just small-fry. Check the other one."

To reach the strength of an elite member of the Galactic Patrol, one needs a combat power of at least 5000. As an old adversary, Ginyu was well aware of this.

Therefore, he didn't think much of Jaco at all!

"You're calling me small-fry?"

Jaco was furious, jumping left and right on the spot, "Damn it, I am an elite member of the Galactic Patrol!"

The arrogant members of the Ginyu Force didn't even spare a glance at this jumping small-fry, instead fixing their eyes on Merus.

Likewise, the combat power reading fluctuated.

3000... 10000... 18000...

It finally stopped at 18,000.

This was merely a disguise Merus had adopted to hide his true identity, as angels do not possess mortal ki.

The Ginyu Force did not know Merus's true identity; they all assumed this was his true combat power!

"An 18,000-level Galactic Patrol elite? If we slaughter him, it will surely deal a heavy blow to the Galactic Patrol."

Ginyu had dealt with the Galactic Patrol countless times, but even after so many encounters, this was the first time he had seen a Galactic Patrol elite with such high combat power.

Ginyu estimated that Merus must be the ace of the Galactic Patrol.
