A few days later, Planet Cold 001.
At this moment, Captain Ginyu no longer existed in the world of the living.
Everyone believed that Captain Ginyu had perished.
Yet, no one knew that the soul of the Captain Ginyu who died that day had been replaced by an unknown alien warrior.
The real Captain Ginyu, meanwhile, was drinking his sorrows away alone in a bar on the planet, hiding behind a new identity.
Ginyu still couldn't calm his rage over the fact that he had come to deliver news to King Cold out of loyalty, only to be heartlessly murdered by him.
After all, he had always taken pride in being a member of the Frieza Force, never imagining that his pride and loyalty would nearly cost him his life.
"Damn you, King Cold! I worked myself to the bone for your Frost Demon race and showed you such respect, and this is how you repay me?"
"If I hadn't been able to swap bodies, I would have been dead long ago!"
"The truly foolish one was your idiot son Frieza, yet you dared to blame me for it!"
"I won't accept this! I won't accept this!"
Ginyu smashed his fist into the table, but at that moment, a burly alien in the bar walked over and hoisted Ginyu into the air.
"Hey! Kid! You dare break things in this bar? Hand over your money, or die!"
"Pah!" Ginyu spat at him with disdain.
But he had forgotten that he was no longer the Captain Ginyu with a battle power of 120,000.
The Scouter on the alien's face beeped a few times, and the brute sneered, "Hahaha, a fool with a battle power of only 5,000 wants to act like a big shot!"
With that, the man grabbed Ginyu by the head and dragged him toward the back alley of the bar.
The others in the bar didn't even blink.
This was the territory of King Cold.
Survival of the fittest and the rule of the strong were the basic laws here.
But a moment later, a voice rang out in the back alley.
"Change!"
A flash of purple light flickered by.
Before long, the burly alien walked back out of the alley.
But by now, the soul inside that body was Ginyu's.
"A battle power of only 10,000? Even with this, you're still trash!"
Ginyu spat in contempt.
At the same time, a thought began to fester in his mind due to this conflict.
"I can't go on like this. I need a stronger body. I must become stronger! I won't let anyone else control my life again! I will..."
Suddenly, Ginyu froze in place, his gaze locked onto a massive statue in the distance.
That statue was none other than King Cold.
Ginyu's expression turned icy, and he gave a wicked grin. "Hahaha, I actually forgot—the best body for me is right in front of my eyes, isn't it?"
"King Cold! You betrayed me and humiliated me! It's only fitting that I take your body! Hahahaha!"
Before long, mysterious attacks became the talk of Planet Cold 001.
Elite members of the King Cold Force were being attacked and killed one after another!
These attacks were incredibly bizarre; the bodies showed that the victims had been killed at close range, and strangely, there were no signs of struggle on them at all.
As the death toll rose and the battle power of the victims continued to increase, the entire planet was gripped by panic.
King Cold, already furious over the death of his son, was enraged upon hearing the news.
"A bunch of useless trash! The intruder must be someone with high battle power—use your Scouters to find him!"
"Yes!"
Under King Cold's orders, the entire King Cold Force mobilized to hunt for suspects across the planet. Anyone who wasn't part of the force and possessed a battle power over 10,000 was detained and interrogated.
Despite this, the killer remained at large.
One day, upon hearing that the culprit was still missing, King Cold flew into a rage, leaving his subordinates trembling in fear.
"I'll give you three more days. If you don't find that killer within three days, you can all go die!"
"Yes, yes!"
Just as the subordinates were rushing away, a personal guard suddenly turned back.
"King Cold, I actually have something to report..."
"Hmm?" King Cold frowned slightly, then a smile appeared on his face. "Very well, let's hear it."
The guard stepped forward, glanced at the attendants guarding the room, and lowered his head. "My King, I think I know the true identity of the killer!"
"Oh? Tell me."
"Your Majesty, could you have them step out? I wish to tell you this person's identity in private..."
King Cold heard this and gave a slight wave of his hand.
His attendants immediately filed out of the room and shut the heavy doors behind them.
"You can speak now. Who exactly is that murderer?" King Cold asked.
"This murderer... is me!"
No sooner had the guard finished speaking than he lunged forward, hurling an energy blast directly at King Cold.
BOOM!
A massive explosion erupted exactly where King Cold had been standing.
The shockwave from the blast rippled in every direction, felt by everyone within the palace.
The attendants outside the door realized instantly that the explosion had occurred inside King Cold's chambers.
They shouted and scrambled to open the doors, only to find them locked from the inside.
"Quick! Find a way to open the door!"
While the attendants were in a panic, the guard—or rather, Captain Ginyu, who had taken over the guard's body—charged straight into the thick smoke.
Even though he knew a single energy blast couldn't possibly harm King Cold, he rushed in regardless.
The next moment, Ginyu was seized by the throat by King Cold, who stood unscathed behind the haze.
"Ho ho..." King Cold sneered. "I never would have imagined that my own guard was the murderer."
"What could you possibly have been thinking, attempting to strike at This Seat?"
"Thinking?" Ginyu chuckled. "I just wanted to get a little closer to you."
"Hm?"
King Cold's expression shifted instantly.
The next moment, he saw the man he was holding suddenly open his mouth and scream: "Change!"
Upon hearing those words, a memory of someone who should have been dead flashed through King Cold's mind.
He vaguely recalled his son once mentioning this person to him...
"Father, I recently discovered a very interesting fellow. The race he belongs to is incredibly rare in the universe; they possess little combat power themselves, but they are capable of swapping bodies with other lifeforms..."
"Before I encountered him, he had already swapped bodies with dozens of beings. I never imagined there could be such an interesting creature in the universe."
"I've decided to make him a captain and form a special force... Cooler has his Armored Squadron, so I must have a special force of my own!"
"Oh? That does sound interesting. What is this person's name?"
"Ginyu..."
Ginyu!
So this person was Ginyu!
"AAAAAAH!"
