In a certain village.
Frieza's army was slaughtering at will.
Dodoria threw a punch at an ordinary Namekian, blasting straight through his stomach.
Green blood splashed onto him, and he licked his lips, not caring in the slightest.
Just then—
The scouter over his right eye suddenly detected a powerful energy.
Beep, beep—
"Twenty thousand... thirty thousand... forty thousand... beep—"
Bang!
The scouter simply blew itself apart!
"This model's maximum reading is fifty thousand. If it exploded, that means this power that suddenly appeared is over fifty thousand!"
Dodoria was a little surprised, but not very.
Because he knew very well how strong his lord was.
No matter who came, they would only be killed in an instant.
"Is it possible the Ginyu Force has arrived?" Zarbon said.
"That makes sense. It's not impossible."
"Never mind that. Let's gather the Dragon Balls first. Lord Frieza is still waiting!"
"Then we'll split up. That's the only way to collect them faster. Once the Ginyu Force arrives, there won't be any chance for us to show off."
After Dodoria and Zarbon discussed it, they unanimously decided to split up.
Five spaceships, like meteors, descended onto Namek.
One after another, they smashed five deep craters into the ground.
Five figures rushed out of the spacecraft and headed straight for the large spaceship where Frieza was.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Before long, they arrived before Frieza.
Frieza was sitting in his exclusive baby carriage, looking at the five people before him with satisfaction.
These people were one of the squads under his command, called the Ginyu Force.
Each member of the squad had their own unique ability, and they were completely loyal.
You could call them a suicide squad, or in trendier terms, brainwashed die-hard fans.
"My lord, the members of the Ginyu Force report to you!"
After the five spoke in unison, they launched into a dance that was both awkward and mortifying to watch.
"Recoome!"
"Burter!"
"Jeice!"
"Guldo!"
Each of them struck what they believed was the coolest pose.
"Ginyu!"
Ginyu made his entrance, turning around directly and sticking his rear toward Frieza, revealing flesh-colored safety shorts.
Finally, all five shouted at the same time.
"We are..."
"The Ginyu Force!"
After performing their dance before Lord Frieza, Captain Ginyu raised an eyebrow and said, "My lord, did you like that dance?"
"..." Frieza's old face flushed red.
Although he had seen it many times, he still could not get used to the Ginyu Force's entrance dance.
It was too damn embarrassing.
"Ahem, not bad." Frieza coughed lightly and changed the subject. "Members of the special force, I am very pleased to see you. Now I have a mission for you: gather the Dragon Balls and allow me to obtain immortality."
"We guarantee the mission will be completed."
The members of the special force spoke in unison.
Frieza waved his hand. "Go."
The moment his words fell.
As captain, Ginyu used his scouter to scan the area.
"Dodoria's team and Zarbon's team are to the northwest and southwest. No need to go there."
"There are three energy reactions flying this way from the southeast, but their auras are too weak. They're not worth worrying about."
"There are two energy reactions to the northeast, rising and falling. There's a good chance they have a Dragon Ball."
Once the scan was complete, Ginyu issued his orders, and the five members of the Ginyu Force flew northeast.
Elsewhere, Vegeta had just destroyed a village and obtained his first Dragon Ball.
After hiding the Dragon Ball, Vegeta suddenly looked into the distance, his pupils contracting.
"Five auras are coming... The whole Ginyu Force is here..."
Compared to Frieza, who rarely acted personally, the Ginyu Force's cruelty and formidable combat power left a much deeper impression.
Vegeta carefully concealed his aura, and only let out a breath of relief after he sensed the Ginyu Force heading in another direction.
With his current combat power, he absolutely could not contend with Ginyu. It was better to be careful.
"Hm? Dodoria and Zarbon split up?"
Vegeta's eyes lit up, and he immediately flew toward the direction he sensed.
Before long.
Vegeta folded his arms across his chest and blocked Dodoria's path.
Looking at Dodoria with a group of foot soldiers in tow, he smiled. "Dodoria, long time no see."
Dodoria did not get angry when he saw who it was. His face was only filled with deep disdain.
"Well, well, if it isn't the monkey. I hadn't gone looking for you, and you delivered yourself right to me? Perfect. I'll take care of you while I'm at it."
"Who takes care of who is still up in the air."
With that said.
Vegeta flared his aura, and the power he had been hiding rose to its peak.
Without any more nonsense, he flung out countless energy blasts with both hands.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Dodoria flashed aside several times, dodging the energy blasts. "Heh, so that's all you've got."
The moment he finished speaking, explosions mixed with screams rang out from behind him.
Boom, boom, boom!!
"Ahhhhhhh!!!"
Dodoria whipped his head around, and his face instantly darkened.
All the foot soldiers he had brought had been blown to pieces.
"Bastard!"
He roared furiously.
Without those foot soldiers to help slaughter villages, searching for the Dragon Balls afterward would become much more troublesome.
That was why he was so angry.
"You bastard!! You've really pissed me off! I'm going to kill you!"
Dodoria was furious. He felt that Vegeta had slapped him in the face.
His bulky body charged at Vegeta with a speed that defied common sense, and his fist, as large as a sand pot, smashed forward.
Thud!
A dull impact sounded.
Dodoria's eyes widened, his expression full of shock.
Opposite him, Vegeta had blocked his attack with one hand, looking utterly at ease.
"That it?"
Vegeta curled his lip.
"Impossible. Absolutely impossible!"
Dodoria could not believe that the weak monkey from back then, in his eyes, could actually block his full-power attack!
"Ahhhhhhh!!!"
His eyes turned bloodshot as his fists shot out rapidly.
But without exception, Vegeta either dodged them or caught them.
"Had enough fun? My turn."
Vegeta snorted, then drove a knee into him and sent him flying up into the sky.
Then his figure flashed, appearing above Dodoria, and he lashed out with a kick that slammed hard into his abdomen.
Boom—
Dodoria was kicked straight down into the ground, smashing out a deep crater.
Vegeta landed beside the dying Dodoria and looked down at him.
Dodoria suddenly cried out in humiliation, roaring, "Do you know who I am? Do you know I'm one of Lord Frieza's most capable subordinates? Back in the day..."
