Meanwhile.
About 3,000 miles northwest of the elder’s location.
Vegeta, now battered and wounded, was in dire straits.
Especially his right arm shattered and almost completely broken.
His battle suit was in tatters, covered in blood.
His opponent was Recoome of the Ginyu Force.
As in the original storyline, Vegeta had grown arrogant after arriving on Namek.
His power had surged since his severe injuries healed, leading to the defeat of Zarbon and Dodoria, and boosting his confidence.
Destroying Frieza’s aides and all scouters, Vegeta thought he could act without being discovered.
Frieza couldn’t find him or threaten him.
Now, with the arrival of the Ginyu Force, his hopes were shattered.
Recoome alone nearly crippled him.
With a power level of 40,000, Vegeta still seemed weak.
He sought a way out, but the situation looked hopeless.
No one could save him.
“Damn!! Is it really over? I haven’t become a Super Saiyan yet… I’m not willing!!!”
“Why does Tarles get to be a Super Saiyan? I am the most talented Saiyan!!”
Vegeta roared inwardly.
“Ha ha ha~~!! Little Vegeta, what’s with that desperate look? You were so arrogant at first.”
“Giving up already? I need more fun. The torture has just begun!!”
Recoome laughed cruelly.
Behind him, Burter and Jeice discussed Vegeta’s fate with amusement.
Guldo grinned sinisterly, waiting for Recoome to crush Vegeta.
He had a deep grudge against Vegeta, a mortal enemy.
“Recoome, finish him off. If we waste more time, Lord Frieza will get impatient.” Captain Ginyu ordered.
“I know, I know, Captain.” Recoome waved dismissively but assured Ginyu.
Ginyu wasn’t surprised.
To him, Vegeta was just a bug. No matter how he jumped, he couldn’t reach far.
The Dragon Balls were in hand, and their mission to retrieve the six stolen balls was completed.
Victory seemed certain.
But unexpected events often occur at such times.
The Ginyu Force’s scouters reacted.
Detecting multiple strong power levels approaching rapidly.
“What’s happening? Are they Namekians, or Vegeta’s allies? Does he have allies?” Ginyu was puzzled.
He looked in the direction indicated by the scouters.
The other Ginyu Force members also looked.
Several figures sped towards them in the distant sky, quickly landing near Vegeta.
They were the Z Fighters, with unlocked potential.
They came to investigate the situation.
“Kakarot?! And Raditz!!” Seeing his ‘old enemies,’ Vegeta widened his eyes in disbelief.
They had come to Namek too.
“Yo, isn’t this our Saiyan prince, Vegeta?”
“Getting beaten by the Ginyu Force, how pathetic.”
Seeing Vegeta, Raditz instinctively mocked.
“Raditz! You!!!” Vegeta gritted his teeth in fury at Raditz’s taunt.
If not for his weakened state, he’d crush Raditz.
“Alright, alright, big brother, enough. What’s happening now?” Goku intervened, sensing something new.
“Isn’t Vegeta with them? Being beaten like this, could it be???” Krillin speculated.
“Perhaps the allure of the Dragon Balls led to a conflict? But he’s outnumbered.” Tien Shinhan observed Vegeta before focusing on the Ginyu Force.
Seeing Vegeta badly injured, he lost interest in him, finding the enemies more intriguing.
“These guys seem strong. We must reclaim the Dragon Balls. How about each of us takes one? Let’s test our new strength.” Yamcha suggested.
Eager to prove his newfound strength.
And to show off, he eyed Recoome, who was beating Vegeta.
If he defeated Recoome, it meant he surpassed Vegeta.
Meanwhile, Vegeta was stunned.
What was going on? Each of them against one of the Ginyu Force members???
He thought the Earthlings were insane.
……
As the Z Fighters talked.
The Ginyu Force also conversed.
Angered by Yamcha’s words, they responded.
“Such arrogance, that long-haired guy only has a power level of 20,000. Who will kill him?”
“And the others, all just 10,000 to 20,000.”
Who was Ginyu?
As Frieza’s top elite, even after being demoted from the Guldo Squad, he was still second only to Frieza.
He conquered countless planets for Frieza for years, never facing such disrespect.
Lowly humans.
Ginyu ordered, and Guldo, Burter, Jeice, and Recoome responded.
“I haven’t had enough fun with Vegeta. I’ll take the long-haired guy and show him how foolish he is.” Recoome dismissed Yamcha as an ant.
Both sides had picked each other as opponents.
“I don’t mind who I fight, but since I can choose, I’ll take Raditz. At least he’s a Saiyan, I can stretch my muscles.” Jeice chose Raditz.
They sought the strongest opponents.
Otherwise, weaker ones wouldn’t withstand their attacks.
They didn’t know each Z Fighter now had the power to crush them.
Raditz ignored Jeice’s comment.
Now, only Frieza was worth his attention, the Ginyu Force meant nothing.
“Jeice, you cheat. I’ll take the tall guy with three eyes.” Burter chose Tien Shinhan.
Ignoring Goku, seeing his harmless demeanor, none considered him strong.
Unlike the original story where Goku’s arrival was imposing, instantly defeating Recoome and dominating everyone.
“I’ll take care of the two short ones…” Guldo, though weak, had his time-freezing ability and was confident.
The tension grew.
“Ginyu Force! Attack!!” Ginyu ordered.
Four special forces members attacked simultaneously.
The Z Fighters responded immediately.
Yamcha engaged Recoome, starting the battle.
Tien Shinhan faced Burter, racing to another island.
Jeice found
Krillin was eager for battle and engaged him.
Though dismissive, Jeice was shocked by Krillin’s aura and had to fight reluctantly.
Guldo, initially targeting Krillin and Chiaotzu, was intercepted by Chiaotzu.
It was not just a battle of strength but of psychic abilities!
……
“Gohan, give me a Senzu Bean.” Watching the battle, Goku remained calm, unaffected.
After all, their strength surpassed the enemies’.
“Okay, dad.”
Gohan obediently handed Goku a Senzu Bean.
Raditz and Piccolo frowned.
When Goku tossed the bean to Vegeta, they were stunned.
Vegeta was confused.
What was this for?
“Hey, Kakarot, are you crazy? Giving a Senzu Bean to him!!” Raditz scolded, finding it a waste.
“This time, I don’t understand either, Goku. You’re making a mistake.” Piccolo said coldly.
He had no fondness for Vegeta.
“Just give him a Senzu Bean. I haven’t beaten him myself yet. If he dies, I’ll lose a rival, what a waste.”
Goku made an excuse.
His soft heart wanted to bring Vegeta to their side.
Then, once Vegeta got stronger, Goku would defeat him one-on-one.
“Vegeta, this is a Senzu Bean. Eating it will heal your injuries and restore your strength.” Goku told Vegeta.
Hearing this, Vegeta was shocked.
It’s hard to believe such an item existed.
After a brief hesitation, he ate the bean.
He had no choice!
As he swallowed, the effects took hold.
Vegeta felt his muscles swell, his injuries healing, and even old wounds were cured.
Fully recovered, his power surged.
“This… this thing, it’s amazing?!!” Feeling the surge of energy, Vegeta was astonished by the Senzu Bean.
Such an item, from Earth.
His strength had at least doubled!
Now, looking at the Z Fighters, his eyes widened.
Especially seeing Yamcha, who had been defeated by Nappa, now suppressing Recoome in battle.
Recoome, who had crushed him.
【Their strength has increased so much?!】
【Then Kakarot and Raditz…】
Vegeta felt a chill, looking incredulously at Goku.
Goku and Raditz seemed shrouded in mystery.
The gap had widened completely.
Unconsciously clenching his fists, Vegeta was filled with extreme resentment, his eyes bloodshot
