As for Whis, Ginyu hadn't detected any fighting power from him at all.
So naturally, he'd ignored him!
"Three thousand and eighteen thousand fighting power, and you think you can ambush the Ginyu Force? You must have a death wish."
Burter, who had been silent until now, sneered. He was mocking the Galactic Patrol for overestimating themselves.
"Enough, Burter. Before we finish them off, don't forget the most important thing."
"Don't worry, Captain Ginyu. I won't forget."
"Good. Then let's begin."
As soon as Ginyu finished speaking, Recoome, one of the Ginyu Force, struck a strange pose.
Burter...
Jeice...
Guldo...
And finally, their captain, Ginyu...
They all struck strange dance poses, their auras rising to their peak.
Mu Yang's mouth twitched as he watched the five awkward dancers before him.
As expected of the Ginyu Force—the squad that had shaped Son Gohan's sense of aesthetics for his entire life.
Their dance really was a little hypnotic.
Mu Yang wasn't the only one. Jaco, Merus, and the others all had something to say, but weren't sure whether they should say it.
In the end, Jaco blurted out, "You guys are really bad at dancing."
The scene fell completely silent!
A long moment later.
"You artless idiot, shut your mouth!"
Ginyu's veins bulged as he clenched his teeth and glared at Jaco, who looked utterly innocent. The other four members of the Ginyu Force were glaring at him too.
Jaco had managed to make the entire Ginyu Force hate him all by himself.
That mouth of his...
Even Mu Yang was starting to see Jaco in a new light.
His ability to run his mouth was simply unmatched.
"Jeice, go slap some sense into this artless idiot," Ginyu ordered the man beside him.
Jeice was already fed up with the sharp-tongued member of the Galactic Patrol. He grinned excitedly and charged over, powering up as he went.
Jaco jumped in fright and hurriedly ducked behind Merus. "Merus, save me!"
Merus sighed, drew his gun, and fired at Jeice.
"Pew! Pew!"
Two laser beams shot toward him.
Jeice sneered and charged forward instead of retreating.
"Hah!"
Jeice swung his hand sharply, batting both laser beams into the sky.
He'd dealt with attacks like those countless times. After facing the Galactic Patrol for so long, he knew exactly how to handle them.
"Heh heh."
Jeice came to a stop in front of Merus and faced him without a hint of concern. "I bet you're pretty proud of that eighteen thousand fighting power of yours. But let me tell you something."
"My fighting power is at least three times yours."
Jeice held up three fingers, hoping to see Merus's incredulous expression.
But after waiting a while...
Jeice still didn't see it.
Instead, Merus calmly reloaded his gun without moving from where he stood.
"???"
Jeice tilted his head, baffled. "Aren't you surprised?"
"Oh, I'm surprised."
Merus looked impressed. "I had no idea there were people this powerful in the universe."
Listening to him, Mu Yang felt that something wasn't quite right.
Why did that sound like mockery?
Mu Yang glanced over at Whis, who was watching the show with a faint smile, then quietly looked away.
Mm. Just as he thought.
Angels all seemed to have a little bit of a dark side.
Mu Yang decided he'd better not mess with angels in the future. Otherwise, if some devious angel tricked him, there'd be no one he could complain to.
"Forget it. I'm done talking."
Jeice glared at Merus, his expression threatening. "Just hand over that trash behind you and join the Frieza Force, and I'll spare your life!"
"His name is Jaco, not 'trash,'" Merus said sternly. "Your Frieza Force burns, kills, loots, and commits every kind of evil. I'll never join you!"
"Hmph. Stubborn fool!"
Jeice had lost his patience. He wasn't going to waste any more time talking.
"Then you can die with that trash!"
A Ki Blast formed in Jeice's hand, and he hurled it at Merus.
Facing Jeice's Ki Blast, Merus didn't dare let his guard down. After all, he couldn't use his true power at the moment.
He had just finished reloading, so Merus fired a laser beam.
The laser struck the Ki Blast.
"Useless! Useless! Useless!"
Jeice burst into a wild laugh.
He'd specially modified that attack!
In the next instant...
The Ki Blast broke through the laser and continued toward Merus like lightning.
"What?!"
Merus had no time to react before the Ki Blast struck him, blasting him off his feet.
"Ha ha ha! I specially modified that Ki Blast to deal with the likes of you Galactic Patrol members. How does it feel?"
Jeice grinned smugly and explained, "The stronger the gun in your hand, the more energy my Ki Blast absorbs from it, making the attack even more powerful."
"Merus!!"
Jaco ran over, his face full of worry.
"Jaco..."
Merus lay on the ground, barely conscious, then passed out.
Watching the fight between the two, Mu Yang wore a strange expression.
There was only one reason for it.
He'd just received a system reward, and the system's mechanical voice had sounded in his mind.
[Ding~ Congratulations, host. After witnessing the energy-absorbing Ki Blast, your heaven-defying comprehension has automatically allowed you to learn the Heaven Swallowing Demon Art.]
The Heaven Swallowing Demon Art.
As he felt the peerless technique entering his mind, Mu Yang's expression grew stranger and stranger.
The Ginyu Force really was his lucky star!
Mu Yang was thrilled. He wanted more—he wanted as much as he could get. Who could understand the joy of getting stronger just by watching?
Just then...
Jeice came over to Jaco and fixed his fierce gaze on the trembling man. "You're the one who said our dance was ugly, aren't you?"
"Uh, well, big brother..."
Jaco swallowed and took a few steps back, forcing an awkward smile. "Actually, you heard me wrong. Your dance was the best— the most beautiful dance in the whole universe."
"Oh, really..."
Jeice sneered, clearly unconvinced. He walked over, grabbed Jaco by the collar, and lifted him into the air.
"Artless?"
He slapped Jaco hard across the left cheek.
"Our dance is ugly?"
Another hard slap landed on Jaco's right cheek.
"Is it ugly? Is it ugly?!"
Jeice slapped him several more times, until Jaco's cheeks were swollen and he was barely conscious. Only then did he let him go.
Jeice flung Jaco to the ground.
"Tights, Mu Yang, run!"
Jaco was barely conscious. Seeing that Mu Yang still wasn't running and was instead standing there watching, he was so frustrated he could barely breathe.
