"That's not Frieza. Who is that kid?"

Zoro stared at Leige, who was currently powering up.

He had just detected a massive combat power reading via his AI, so he flew back to the location where he had been fighting Frieza.

"Beep, beep. Combat power five million, six million, seven million, ten million, thirty million, one hundred million, three hundred million, five hundred million, eight hundred million—nani! The combat power is still rising! Go to hell!"

Zoro shouted.

As soon as he finished shouting, Zoro fired dozens of energy blasts toward Leige's position.

When the smoke cleared, Leige was completely unharmed. By now, Leige's hair had turned green, his pupils had turned green, and a green aura surrounded his body. Even the surrounding environment flickered with shifting colors; Leige had transformed into a Legendary Super Saiyan.

"Xiao Bai, check my current combat power."

Leige glanced at Zoro, ignored him completely, and spoke to Xiao Bai in his mind.

Host: Leige. Base Combat Power: 4.8 million. Form: Legendary Super Saiyan 1. Legendary Super Saiyan 1 (Stage 1) Combat Power: 2.5 billion.

Xiao Bai replied.

"I didn't expect the Legendary Super Saiyan multiplier to be over five hundred times."

Leige said.

"Beep... Boom!"

Zoro tried to use his AI to detect Leige's combat power again, but the device exploded instantly.

"Die! Shadow-Star-Destroying-Cannon!"

Zoro roared in anger.

He had defeated Frieza, and he was now the strongest person aside from Cooler. He would not allow anyone to be stronger than him—Cooler excepted.

"You're the one who should die."

Leige said.

"Puchi!"

Leige suddenly appeared behind Zoro. Before Zoro could even fire his Shadow Star-Destroying Cannon, Leige punched through his Shadow Armor, piercing straight through Zoro's body.

"Boom!"

Leige fired a green energy wave from his hand, reducing Zoro to dust.

"Boom, boom!"

After killing Zoro, Leige went over to Tagoma and Shisami and blasted them into dust as well. Zarbon and Cui were already dead, and now that he had killed Tagoma and Shisami, Frieza didn't have many useful people left. Leige knew that Tagoma and Shisami had been sent by Frieza to monitor him, so he had to find an opportunity to eliminate them. Afterward, Leige reverted to his base form and lay on the ground, pretending to be unconscious.

Twenty minutes later.

"Prince Leige, wake up."

Hearing Ginyu calling him, Leige pretended to just be waking up.

"Captain Ginyu, are we still alive?"

Leige asked.

"Yes, we are still alive."

Ginyu said.

"Where is Father?"

Leige asked.

"His Majesty is likely severely injured. He hasn't woken up yet."

Ginyu said.

"Let's take Father back to the spaceship to treat his wounds first. What about Tagoma and Shisami?"

Leige said.

"I haven't seen them since I woke up."

Ginyu said.

"Let's return to the spaceship first, then send people to look for them."

Leige said.

After Leige finished speaking, Ginyu carried Frieza on his back, and he and Leige flew back to the spaceship together.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

The soldiers of the Frieza Force were still locked in battle with the Space Pirates.

"Commander Gele, the enemy's firepower is intense. Our troops have launched over a dozen assaults, but we haven't been able to take their command post."

A soldier approached a red-skinned man with a single horn and spoke.

"We'll retreat for now. Tell Commander Moxi of the Fifth Legion to continue the assault; don't give the enemy a moment to catch their breath."

Gele said.

"Yes, sir."

The soldier replied.

Spaceship.

"Lord Ginyu, Prince Leige, what happened to you? And what happened to the King?"

A soldier asked, looking at the damaged battle armor of Ginyu and Leige.

"Get us to the medical pods, quickly! Also, send people to find Tagoma and Shisami."

Ginyu shouted at the soldier.

"Yes! Quickly, take Lord Ginyu, Prince Leige, and the King to the medical pods!"

The soldier shouted to the others nearby.

The soldiers helped Ginyu and the others toward the medical pods.

Thirty minutes later.

Ginyu and Leige had recovered, but Frieza was still undergoing treatment due to the severity of his injuries.

"Have you found Tagoma and Shisami?"

Ginyu, having changed into a new battle suit and re-equipped his scouter, asked the soldier beside him.

"Reporting, my lord, we have searched almost the entirety of Longji Planet, even reaching the areas garrisoned by the Cooler Force, but we haven't found Lord Tagoma or Lord Shisami."

The soldier said.

"Keep looking. I want to see them alive or see their corpses."

Ginyu said.

It's a pity you won't find them; they've already been reduced to dust, Leige thought to himself.

"Re-reporting, Lord Ginyu, the Space Pirates' resistance is stubborn. Our three legions have taken turns attacking, but we haven't been able to take their command post."

Three legion commanders approached Ginyu and said.

"Useless trash. Watch as I go wipe them out. Prince Leige, come with me to annihilate those Space Pirates."

Ginyu said to Leige.

"Fine."

Leige did not refuse and agreed immediately.

Subsequently, Ginyu and Leige headed toward the Space Pirate command post.

Twenty minutes later.

"Where is this? Could it be that this King has already died? Impossible! This King cannot die at the hands of ants."

Frieza said, looking at the unfamiliar environment before him.

"Is that Leige?"

Suddenly, Frieza noticed a child with his back turned not far away, whose build looked very much like Leige's.

"Leige, is that you?"

Frieza asked the child in the distance.

The child turned his head without answering Frieza's question, then suddenly let out a loud shout, transforming into a form with golden hair and green eyes.

"Leige, what form is this? Can't Saiyans only transform into Great Apes?"

Frieza asked, watching Leige suddenly shift into the golden-haired, green-eyed state.

"Ore wa Super Saiyan, Leige."

Leige looked at Frieza and said.

After speaking, Leige began to power up, his aura instantly blasting Frieza hundreds of meters away.

"Super Saiyan? Could that Saiyan legend be true? Impossible, absolutely impossible! This King is the strongest in the universe!"

Frieza roared in anger.

"Boom!"

Leige landed a punch squarely on Frieza.

"Argh!"

Frieza suddenly woke up, realizing as he looked around the medical pod that everything that had just happened was merely a dream.

"Why did I have such a dream? Could it be an omen? Will Leige really become a Super Saiyan?" Frieza wondered to himself.

"The King is awake! Retract the healing fluid and open the medical pod!" A soldier shouted to the technician upon seeing Frieza stir.

The technician saw that Frieza was awake and immediately operated the controls to drain the fluid and open the pod.

"Where are Ginyu and Leige?" Frieza asked the soldier beside him.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Lord Ginyu and Prince Leige are leading the army in an assault on the Space Pirate command center," a tiger-headed soldier replied.

"The Space Pirate command center hasn't been taken yet?" Frieza asked again.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, those Space Pirates are no weaker than our own forces, so we have been unable to break through. Please punish us, Your Majesty," the tiger-headed soldier said.

After speaking, the tiger-headed soldier knelt to beg for mercy.

"Please punish us, Your Majesty!" The surrounding soldiers and the medical staff also knelt in plea.

"Rise, all of you. It seems I must take action myself," Frieza said.

Frieza ordered the soldiers to bring his hover-throne. He equipped his scouter, sat upon the throne, and led his troops toward the Space Pirate command center.

Space Pirate Command Center.

"Boom! Charge with me!" Leige shouted after firing an energy blast that destroyed one of the Space Pirates' cannons.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Hundreds of laser bolts rained down on them. While these shots caused little damage to Leige, they inflicted heavy casualties on the Frieza Force soldiers.

"Boom!" Leige fired an energy blast from his hand, vaporizing the Space Pirates wielding laser rifles.

"Charge in!" Ginyu shouted.

Ginyu led the charge, and the Frieza Force soldiers finally breached the interior of the Space Pirate command center.

Command Center Office.

"Fourth Leader, the Frieza Force is too strong; we can't hold them back anymore," a soldier reported to Aite.

"Fourth Leader, why don't we surrender to the Frieza Force? If we keep fighting like this, our entire army will be wiped out," an officer beside Aite suggested.

"Vida, do you really think Frieza will spare us if we surrender? I would rather die in battle now than surrender to the Frieza Force only to be executed by Frieza," Aite declared.

"Re-reporting, Fourth Leader! We received a transmission from the Cooler Force saying they have departed. They said if we can hold out for two more hours, they will arrive at our command center," a radio operator rushed in to say.

"Tell the brothers that reinforcements will arrive in two hours. Tell them they must hold for two hours; after this battle, everyone will be rewarded with an ounce of gold," Aite ordered.

"Yes!" the soldier replied.

"Boom!"

"Rumble!"

Ginyu fired an energy blast, shattering the main gate of the command center.

"Charge in!" Ginyu shouted.

Ginyu led the soldiers as they stormed into the command center.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Space Pirates hidden in the shadows of the command center hurled hundreds of grenades at the Frieza Force soldiers before ducking behind cover.

"Damn it!" Ginyu roared in anger.

The grenades thrown by the Space Pirates had killed quite a few soldiers of the Frieza Force.

"Ginyu, let's pull back and destroy this place directly," Leige said to Ginyu.

"No, I must take down the Space Pirates' command center," Ginyu insisted.

As the honorable captain of the Ginyu Force, he refused to believe he couldn't even take down a single Space Pirate command center.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Ginyu led his soldiers in a continued charge. An hour later, Ginyu successfully captured the Space Pirate command center. Aite was killed in action, and the remaining Space Pirates surrendered to Ginyu.

"Greetings, Great King," Ginyu said, kneeling on one knee to Frieza.

"Rise. You all fought bravely in this battle. I reward Ginyu, Leige, Gele, Moxi, and Luka with twenty taels of gold each, and each soldier with five taels of gold," Frieza declared.

Don't ask why Frieza was always handing out gold to his subordinates; before he became a king, he had roamed the universe for years, and his wealth was beyond anything we could imagine.

"Thank you, Great King," Ginyu and the others replied.

"Report! Great King, the Cooler Force is less than thirty kilometers away from us," a soldier said, approaching Frieza.

"Ginyu, I order you to lead the Fourth and Fifth Legions to annihilate the Cooler Force," Frieza commanded.

"Yes," Ginyu replied.

With that, Ginyu set off with the soldiers of the two legions.

"Report, Lord Delei, the Space Pirates sent a transmission saying they couldn't hold back the Frieza Force's assault. Aite has been killed, and the remaining Space Pirates have surrendered to the Frieza Force," an officer said, approaching Delei.

"I knew those trash couldn't stop the Frieza Force. Pass the order: accelerate the march and catch the Frieza Force by surprise," Delei said.

"Yes," the officer beside Delei replied.

An hour later.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Boom!"

The Frieza Force and the Cooler Force engaged in a fierce battle.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Ginyu and Delei also began to fight, and as they traded blows, they moved further away from the main battlefield.

"Bang!"

"Captain Ginyu of the Ginyu Force, I thought you were something special, but it turns out you're just trash!" Delei said after seizing an opening to punch Ginyu away.

"The Mecha Force under Cooler truly lives up to its reputation. I just wonder what your combat power is, Delei," Ginyu said.

"Since you're about to die, I'll let you witness my full combat power. Use your scouter well and look at my power level—try not to be scared," Delei said.

"Ahhh!" Delei began to power up.

"Beep, beep, beep... 150,000! Such immense combat power," Ginyu exclaimed.

"Prepare to die!" Delei shouted.

With that, Delei encased himself in energy and charged toward Ginyu.

"Pfft!"

"Change! Now!"

After punching a hole through his own chest, Ginyu spread his arms and shouted.

As Ginyu finished his cry, a beam of yellow light shot from his mouth toward Delei's, while a beam of yellow light simultaneously shot from Delei's mouth toward Ginyu's.

"Ginyu, what have you done to me? Why can I see myself?" Ginyu (in Delei's body) asked.

"Captain Ginyu, hold on! I'll take you back to the spaceship for treatment!" Leige said, approaching Ginyu (in Delei's body) while pretending to be unaware that they had swapped bodies.

"Prince Leige, I am the real Ginyu! That is Delei—get away from him!" Ginyu hurriedly warned Leige.

"Bang!"

Enduring the pain from his wound, Delei punched Leige, sending him flying. Of course, Leige had let himself be hit on purpose; with his current combat power, Delei's attack felt like nothing more than a tickle.

"Prince Leige, I am Ginyu! I swapped bodies with Delei!" Ginyu shouted at Leige.

"Nani?" Leige and Delei both exclaimed.

"Ginyu, give me back my body!" Delei shouted at Ginyu.

"Boom!"

Leige flashed in front of Delei and fired an energy wave from his hand, blasting Delei into dust.

"Why did you kill him?" Ginyu asked.

"To prevent future trouble. Now, I'm the only one who knows you can swap bodies," Leige replied.

Leige and Ginyu then returned to the battlefield, leading the Frieza Force soldiers to slaughter the Cooler Force.

Under the command of Leige and Ginyu, the Cooler Force soldiers were wiped out to the last man.

One hour later. Outer space.

"To celebrate the Frieza Force's eradication of the North Galaxy Space Pirates, I shall set off some fireworks today," Frieza said.

After speaking, Frieza raised his index finger, gathered an orange energy sphere, and hurled it toward Longji Planet.

"Boom!"

The energy sphere entered Longji Planet, and before long, the planet turned into fireworks.

February 28th, 8:00 AM. Cooler Planet No. 6, Royal Palace.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, we have been unable to contact the 23rd and 24th Legions stationed on Longji Planet since yesterday. We have even lost contact with the Space Pirates on Longji Planet. Your subordinate requests instructions: shall we send someone to scout Longji Planet?"
