"Damn it!"

Vegeta shouted angrily, grabbed Ginyu's body with both hands, and hurled him forcefully into the sky.

Then, Vegeta brought his hands together in front of him, gathering a golden energy wave between them, preparing to destroy Ginyu.

When Ginyu saw the golden energy wave forming between Vegeta's hands, his expression immediately changed.

"No, I have to use Body Change quickly. Otherwise, I'll probably die at Vegeta's hands before I can use it!"

As Ginyu spoke, he spread his hands wide and shouted down at Vegeta on the ground.

"Body Change!"

Before Vegeta could react, it was as though his soul had been restrained by something, and his body suddenly became unable to move.

"W-What?!"

Vegeta was startled.

Just then, a golden light shot out from Ginyu's mouth. Ginyu's soul flew out of his body and charged straight toward Vegeta.

"Vegeta, your body is mine now!"

Ginyu said excitedly.

Just as Ginyu's soul was about to enter Vegeta's body, Roger somehow produced a turtle and threw it over.

"D-Damn it!"

Ginyu's face immediately changed drastically. Even if he wanted to dodge, it was already too late.

As the golden light Ginyu emitted faded away, Ginyu successfully exchanged bodies with the turtle.

"I can move again!"

As Vegeta spoke, he looked at the turtle and Ginyu on the ground.

Since the soul inside Ginyu's body was the turtle's, he was now standing on the ground like a turtle.

Meanwhile, Ginyu, who had exchanged bodies with the turtle, stood upright on two feet.

Just as Vegeta was feeling puzzled, Roger took out a large fish tank and put Ginyu inside it.

"Roger, what exactly happened?"

"Ginyu wanted to exchange bodies with you just now, but he failed, so he exchanged with this turtle instead!"

"The turtle? You mean this turtle is Ginyu?"

"Yeah!"

"You damn bastard!"

At that moment, Ginyu, who had become a turtle, suddenly spoke in human language.

The moment Vegeta heard Ginyu's voice, he immediately burst out laughing.

"I never thought Ginyu, who once struck terror into everyone's hearts, would turn into a turtle."

"Damn it, Vegeta! Don't think I can't change back just because I'm like this. Since I was able to exchange bodies with you once, I can do it a second time!"

As Ginyu spoke, he immediately shouted.

"Body Change!"

The moment he finished speaking, a golden light shot out from his mouth as he tried to exchange bodies with Roger.

But just as Ginyu's soul left the turtle's body, it slammed into the fish tank's glass.

Roger's fish tank was round. Unlike ordinary fish tanks, its opening was very small.

So if Ginyu used Body Change inside the fish tank, he would basically always crash into its glass.

"Ow... that hurts!"

After Ginyu's soul struck the fish tank's glass, it immediately returned to the turtle's body.

"W-What is this? How can this glass block my soul?"

"This isn't ordinary glass. It's glass specially used by the Underworld to trap ghosts!"

Roger said.

"Trap ghosts?"

Ginyu's expression immediately changed upon hearing that.

"Yeah!"

As Roger spoke, he took out a yellow talisman and stuck it onto the fish tank.

"Damn it! If you've got the guts, kill me! Otherwise, if I ever get the chance, I'll definitely possess your body!"

Ginyu shouted defiantly.

"Sure, but before that, you'll have to test some medicine for me!"

"T-Test medicine?!"

Ginyu's expression immediately changed when he heard this.

So that was why Roger had not killed him—he wanted to use him as a lab rat.

The medicine Roger mentioned was naturally no ordinary medicine, but a potion used by mages.

"Goku, do you want me to take you back to King Kai?"

Roger turned and asked Son Goku.

Seeing this, Roger immediately carried the fish tank over to Son Goku's side.

"What a chance!"

When Ginyu saw Roger holding the fish tank, he immediately tried to use his exchange again.

"Exchange!"

Ginyu shouted toward the fish tank's opening.

But this time, his soul did not leave his body.

"Th... What's going on? Why isn't my exchange working? Could it be that I've used up all my strength?"

Roger sneered.

"It's not that your exchange doesn't work. It's because of the Soul-Binding Talisman outside the fish tank."

"Soul-Binding Talisman? You mean it's stopping my soul from leaving my body!"

"That's right!"

As he spoke, Roger used Instant Transmission to take Son Goku back to North Kai's Planet.

When Raditz and Nappa saw this, they hurried over to Vegeta.

"Prince Vegeta, are you all right?"

"I'm fine!"

Vegeta said, then left with the two of them, looking exhausted.

This had been the most exhausting battle of his life.

Time flew by, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Universe 7, inside Frieza's spaceship.

Frieza had already learned that the Ginyu Force had been completely wiped out by Son Goku and the others.

As a result, he was in an extremely foul mood and prepared to head to Earth personally to eliminate Vegeta and the others.

On Earth.

Roger was currently at Bulma's house, injecting Ginyu with the virus that caused viral heart disease, which he had just acquired.

"N... No!"

Seeing the needle about to be injected into him, Ginyu immediately began trembling.

"Aah!!"

With a loud scream, the needle plunged into Ginyu's butt.

"It's fine, Ginyu. If you can't take it anymore, I'll immediately give you a new body and continue testing the medicine!"

"C... Continue!"

Ginyu nearly coughed up blood upon hearing that.

Meeting Roger was the worst thing that had ever happened to him.

He desperately wanted to kill himself now.

But he was only a sea turtle now, and even suicide was not an easy thing to accomplish.

At the same time.

Vegeta, who was on Earth, knew that Frieza might come.

So he was currently training hard.

Time flew by, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

After being injected with the virus that caused viral heart disease, Ginyu quickly developed viral heart disease.

After enduring more than ten days of torment from the virus, Roger used his self-created Soul Exchange Technique to exchange his body with that of a white mouse.

Roger had created this Soul Exchange Technique after watching Ginyu use his exchange.

Unlike Ginyu's exchange, which swapped his body with another person's, Roger's Soul Exchange Technique allowed two people other than himself to exchange souls.

After Ginyu's body was exchanged, the sea turtle he had previously switched with died of viral heart disease.

"Roger, I'm begging you, just let me die!"

Seeing the needle Roger was about to inject him with, Ginyu pleaded with him.

He would rather die than suffer the torment of viral heart disease again.

"Ginyu, last time was just an accident. Believe me, this time I'll definitely be able to develop a real cure!"
