"What? I don't believe it. Could even this brat with only a single hair on his head be stronger than me?" Vegeta asked.
Son Goku said, "Chiaotzu's power level truly isn't higher than yours, but he knows the Kaioken. He can use Kaio-ken x2 to multiply his own power level by two, reaching sixty-four thousand. Since you only have a power level of sixty thousand, Chiaotzu's true strength is above yours."
Hearing this, Vegeta said, "Fine. In order to transform into a Super Saiyan, I am willing to join you, but I certainly won't become your subordinate."
Son Goku said, "Rest assured, I won't treat you as a subordinate."
Vegeta said, "Then aren't you going to deal with Frieza right now with ease?"
Son Goku said, "Indeed."
"Then what are you waiting for? Wipe out Frieza early on so we can go back and train," Vegeta said.
Son Goku said, "I'm waiting for the Ginyu Force. Once they arrive, we'll eliminate them all together."
Vegeta said, "So that's how it is."
Thus, everyone rested at the Grand Elder's residence while waiting for the arrival of the Ginyu Force.
During this period, Nail thought over it repeatedly and ultimately chose to assimilate with Piccolo.
Perhaps Nail felt that his own power level was too poor and far from enough to handle the Frieza Force. This time they had the assistance of Son Goku and the others, but what about next time? It would be better to fulfill Piccolo and increase Piccolo's strength.
In this way, Planet Namek would have one more high-end combat power, allowing it to better protect Planet Namek.
The Grand Elder expressed understanding for Nail's sentiments and thus agreed to Nail's course of action.
Consequently, at Nail's earnest request, Piccolo assimilated Nail, and his power level reached an astonishing three million four hundred thousand (the sum of both their power levels multiplied by ten), an increase of well over ten times.
Upon seeing this, the Earth group was quite envious.
One day later, Son Goku and the others sensed five powerful auras descend upon Planet Namek. Without a doubt, it was definitely the Ginyu Force descending.
Therefore, Son Goku brought everyone along with an Instant Transmission and arrived right before Frieza, coincidentally seeing the five members of the Ginyu Force striking bizarre poses in front of Frieza, which made everyone laugh out loud.
Frieza wanted to laugh too, but for the sake of the Ginyu Force's face, he held it in.
Frieza looked at the group, spotted Vegeta, and spoke up, "Ohoho, Vegeta, are you leading these people to defect and submit to this king? This king only accepts elites, and will not accept trash."
Vegeta said, "Why are you looking at me? Are you treating me as trash?"
Frieza laughed and said, "Hohoho, I'm not talking about you. I'm saying you are all trash."
Vegeta was greatly enraged and said, "Frieza, just let you run wild a little longer. Soon enough, you'll get what's coming to you."
Son Goku feigned ignorance and asked, "Are you Frieza? I thought you had three heads and six arms. With goods like you, you have the nerve to call yourself the emperor of the universe."
Hearing this, Frieza said, "Who are you? You dare bark wildly in front of this king."
Vegeta cut in and said, "He is the Super Saiyan you've always feared-Kakarot! Frieza, are you ready to meet your death? Hahaha."
Hearing this, a cold flash crossed Frieza's eyes. Two laser beams reached Vegeta in the blink of an eye, and barring any accidents, Vegeta's body was about to be pierced through.
Son Goku instantly arrived in front of Vegeta and blocked those two light rays.
Then he spoke up, "Frieza, aren't you paying me any mind, daring to make a move right in front of me?"
Seeing that Son Goku had effortlessly blocked his light rays, Frieza spoke up, "Hohoho, it seems you Super Saiyans really do have this ability. Then let the Ginyu Force under my command test out just how much you people are worth."
Hearing this, Captain Ginyu said, "Rest assured, King Frieza. They are mere scum; we will resolve this shortly."
Frieza said, "Hohoho, then I'll trouble Captain Ginyu."
Ginyu said, "I swear loyalty to the king unto death."
Then he turned around to discuss with the other four who would strike first. In the end, they all played rock-paper-scissors, and Recoome won, taking the initiative to attack first.
Seeing Recoome make his move, Son Goku looked at the group and decided to let Yamcha practice a bit.
Yamcha's power level was the same as Recoome's, both at forty thousand. Using Recoome for practice couldn't be better.
Thus, Yamcha stepped forward and said to Recoome, "Big clumsy fool, I'll be your opponent."
Hearing this, Recoome grinned and said, "Let this lord see what your power level is, to actually dare spout such arrogant nonsense."
As he spoke, he checked his Scouter, which showed that Yamcha's power level was only one thousand. Thus, Recoome said, "You piece of trash with a power level of only one thousand dare come up to throw your life away? Then this lord will grant your wish."
With that, he flashed over right in front of Yamcha and smashed an iron fist toward Yamcha's abdomen. Yamcha threw a punch out, colliding with Recoome's iron fist and stirring up a gale.
Seeing this, Recoome flashed backward over a dozen meters and spoke up, "How could you possibly block my iron fist?"
Ginyu shouted to Recoome, "Recoome, you idiot! Don't trust the values on the Scouter too much. These people should be able to freely adjust their power levels. That kid's power level ought to be about the same as yours; be careful and don't disgrace yourself in front of King Frieza."
Upon hearing Ginyu mention King Frieza, Recoome was instantly scared into a cold sweat. Only then did he react belatedly, secretly thinking, King Frieza is watching me, after all; I cannot afford to be careless.
Thus he said, "Captain, I understand. I will bring out my full strength to deal with this."
With that, he brought out his full strength and attacked Yamcha. Seeing this, Yamcha stopped pretending as well, raised his ki, and unleashed his signature technique-the Wolf Fang Fist-striking toward Recoome.
The two of them exchanged blow for blow, fighting each other. You gave me a punch, and I kicked you a foot. After fighting for a long time, both of them were bruised and battered.
Yamcha was beaten black and blue, and Recoome was also beaten crooked-mouthed and cross-eyed.
Seeing that he couldn't take down his opponent, Yamcha unleashed his other signature technique-the Spirit Ball.
He directed the ki blast to chase after Recoome in wild flights. Seeing that he couldn't shake it off, Recoome simply stopped dodging, spat out an energy blast, and directly perished together with the ki blast.
Seeing that the Spirit Ball couldn't do anything to his opponent either, Yamcha stopped pretending and directly unleashed the double Kaioken, flashing in front of Recoome with the speed of lightning and using a Rising Dragon Fist to send Recoome flying up into the sky.
Then he clasped his hands at his waist, shouting, "Kamehameha!" The ki blast was rapidly thrust forward, striking Recoome in the blink of an eye.
Recoome was blasted into dust. Yamcha released the Kaioken and said, "What a truly filthy firework."
Then he returned to the side of the group.
Vegeta asked Son Goku, "That technique the kid just used to increase his power level-is that the Kaioken you mentioned?"
Son Goku said, "Indeed. After using the Kaioken, speed, power, and power level will all increase exponentially. What Yamcha used just now was merely Kaio-ken x2; Piccolo can already use the fivefold Kaioken."
Hearing this, Vegeta drew in a cold breath and said, "Who in the world invented such a freakish technique?"
Far away on King Kai's Planet, King Kai sneezed.
