Preparing to Rob Frieza

BOOM!

The spaceship door was blasted open. Gohan didn't destroy the ship outright because he still wanted to ask about the whereabouts of the Super Dragon Balls.

The Dragon Radar was currently indicating that the target was right here.

However, he couldn't pinpoint the exact location, so he had to find someone to ask.

Running into these guys was perfect; he could get the information he needed and then wipe them all out!

Dropping into the ship, he saw a few aliens huddled together in a corner, though there was one female alien among them.

Cheelai stepped forward to meet him. She wasn't afraid of him at all; instead, she looked at him with an expression of pure adoration.

"You're a Super Saiyan, the one who defeated Lord Frieza! Wow, that's amazing."

"You can control a spaceship with just one hand? Are you much stronger than King Frieza?"

Gohan glanced at her, feeling like she looked familiar. He suddenly realized she was the female alien who was always with Broly.

He hadn't expected to run into her here.

Not far away, an older alien stepped forward with a sigh, looking resigned. "My lord, I didn't mean to offend you."

"Please, spare us. I apologize for what happened earlier. If you let us go, we promise to leave immediately and keep the Frieza Force away from you!"

Gohan scanned him calmly and asked, "What is your name?"

Cheelai's partner answered with a tremble, "Cheelai's partner."

Gohan nodded, satisfied with his attitude. He smirked, his expression relaxed. "Fine. You and her, come with me to my ship. I have things to ask you."

"You'll lead the way. As for the others!"

He glanced at the Frieza Force soldiers curled up in a ball nearby—the same ones who had attacked him earlier.

They didn't even know who he was, yet they dared to attack his ship.

Gohan raised his hand and fired an Energy Cannon.

BOOM!

The terrifying blast struck the soldiers. They opened their mouths to scream, but not a sound came out.

The next second, Gohan's Energy Cannon reduced them entirely to ash.

The spaceship was torn open, and the damaged vessel began to wobble, on the verge of exploding.

Gohan raised his hand. Cheelai was the first to approach; the female alien grabbed him with surprising enthusiasm.

She beamed at him, looking at him with total worship.

Cheelai's partner sighed bitterly nearby. He knew he had no choice; he realized that once he stepped onto that ship, he could never return to the Frieza Force.

But survival was the priority now. With a sigh, he reached out and grabbed Gohan's hand.

The next second.

Gohan used Instant Transmission to appear inside his own spaceship.

Upon his return, Videl hurried over, looking relieved.

"Gohan, are you okay?"

Gohan said casually, "Yeah, just ran into some small fry and took care of them. Oh, and these two."

"They're familiar with the area, so they're going to help us find the Super Dragon Balls."

Cheelai and Cheelai's partner had been brought here by force; they couldn't leave even if they wanted to.

However, Cheelai was curious about Gohan's ship, and her eyes lit up when she heard the words "Super Dragon Balls."

She tried to cozy up to him. "Wow, are the Super Dragon Balls some kind of powerful treasure? If you Super Saiyans are looking for them..."

"They must be incredible. Even King Frieza couldn't find them, right?"

Cheelai's partner's expression shifted as he quickly guessed what the Super Dragon Balls were.

"King Frieza was resurrected using Dragon Balls. It sounds like these Super Dragon Balls are even more powerful than those."

"But how exactly do you want us to help?"

Cheelai's partner was quite calm; he might actually be useful as a lackey.

Gohan pointed casually at the radar on the ship. "The radar shows they're right here. Each Super Dragon Ball is the size of a star."

"In other words, they're like small planets. Have you seen any strange planets around here?"

At the mention of planets, Cheelai's partner thought for a moment. They had indeed discovered a few very odd ones.

They were incredibly hard, and there was nothing inside them.

He nodded and said, "Yes, I know of two very strange planets nearby. I can take you there."

Gohan was surprised that the guy was so sensible. He couldn't help but say, "Oh, by helping me now, you're betraying the Frieza Force."

"Are you really planning on leaving them for good?"

Cheelai's partner sighed with a bitter smile. "You killed all my companions. If I go back without them, Frieza will definitely be suspicious."

"If I'm going to die anyway, I might as well help you complete your mission. Maybe you'll protect me in return!"

Gohan chuckled, nodding with satisfaction. "Very well. You help me find the Super Dragon Balls, and I will protect you."

"Just become my subordinates!"

Cheelai, standing to the side, eagerly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Then I want to join too, hee hee! I never liked the Frieza Force anyway."

"Let me join your Super Saiyan Legion, too!"

Gohan found this alien woman quite amusing. He replied indifferently, "I am the leader of our Super Saiyan Legion. My name is Gohan."

"This time, I'm only here to find the four Super Dragon Balls. Let's focus on collecting the ones in this universe first!"

Cheelai, interested in the Super Dragon Balls and simply looking for some excitement, agreed immediately.

With two new aliens joining the group, Videl looked on with curiosity, and Android 18 stepped closer as well.

She whispered, "Gohan, can these two be trusted?"

Gohan glanced at Cheelai's partner. As a veteran of the Frieza Force, he was surely familiar with the entire universe; having him help navigate the ship was quite useful.

The man was weak and wouldn't dare pull any tricks in front of him.

As for Cheelai, the alien woman was clearly just looking for fun, so she posed no threat to him at all.

With Videl's strength, she could handle them easily, so there was nothing to worry about.

He nodded and said, "Keep an eye on them for me. Just make sure they don't cause any trouble."

Android 18 agreed instantly, casting a glance at Cheelai, clearly marking her as the one to watch.

The spaceship sailed through space, heading toward their destination.

Cheelai's partner could pilot the ship steadily, making him a great guide. Otherwise, with so many planets and stars, Gohan truly wouldn't know which one to search. He couldn't just destroy every planet in the sector, could he?

That would be far too troublesome!

While Cheelai's partner had extensive knowledge of the universe, Cheelai herself was so restless that Android 18 had essentially trained her to be the ship's maid.

She was tasked with serving tea and water. At first, the alien woman wasn't happy about it, but after a quick lesson from Android 18—who demonstrated her power by causing a small, nearby planet to explode—she became perfectly obedient and started serving them willingly.

She forced a smile as she poured tea for Android 18 and Videl.

As a maid, Cheelai was actually quite capable!

Even if her expression was as sour as a bitter melon.

"Waaah, I feel like a prisoner. Does this mean I've become a slave?"

Videl was amused and said gently, "Come now, as long as you're with us, you don't need to be afraid of anything."

"Big Sister 18 won't bully you too much!"

Cheelai beamed with joy. Feeling protected by Videl, she cheered and threw herself into Videl's arms to act spoiled.

One had to admit, she was very good at finding a backer. As a petty thief, she knew that among them, Videl—the weakest in terms of raw power—held a high status.

By currying favor with Videl, she could guarantee her own safety and gain plenty of benefits!

The ship was stocked with so much food brought from Earth that once she tasted the delicacies, she fell in love instantly.

She wouldn't want to leave even if they kicked her out!

She really was a little glutton!

In the Dragon Ball world, everyone was basically a glutton!

Gohan watched this, shaking his head with a sigh. Seeing these two reminded him of Broly.

Broly should still be training on some planet right now. That guy's strength could reach levels beyond Super Saiyan Blue.

If he could become his sparring partner, that would be excellent. Furthermore, he wanted to recruit him as a subordinate to help with his tasks.

He wanted to build his own network of influence across the universe!

Having a few more underlings wouldn't hurt!

With this in mind, Gohan turned to Cheelai's partner. "Are there any other Saiyans left in the Frieza Force?"

"Or perhaps, do you have contact information for any lost Saiyans?"

After thinking for a moment, the man replied, "If we go to the Frieza Force headquarters, we might be able to find out."

Gohan's eyes lit up, and a plan immediately formed in his mind.

"Good. Once we find two of the Super Dragon Balls, we're going to raid the Frieza Force headquarters!"

"We're going to take some things from their main base!"

Cheelai's partner's jaw dropped, and he stared at Gohan in disbelief, wondering if he had misheard.

This, this guy is actually planning to rob Frieza's main ship!

Cheelai, standing to the side, cheered with delight, shouting happily, "That's great! Hehe, I love this kind of robbery, I'm coming too."

"Alright, let's go rob Frieza's main ship and snatch everything they've got."

Cheelai's partner didn't know what to say; he had truly stepped into a pit of fire now. This guy really didn't fear anything.

He was completely and utterly looking to provoke Frieza!

How could Gohan possibly fear Frieza? Even if Frieza transformed into Golden Frieza, he posed absolutely no threat to him.

As for Frieza, this simply wasn't his era anymore.

Compared to the Super Saiyan Blue transformation, he was nothing!

Regardless, he had the strength, and now that he was in space, it would be unjustifiable not to rob the guy at least once.

Frieza's main ship surely held plenty of treasures. Such good things were a waste on Frieza; naturally, he had to snatch them all for himself.

He had to use them himself!
