"Is a single bean really that powerful?"
On the other side, Captain Ginyu watched Vegeta's recovery.
That seemingly insignificant bean had such an effect; he must get his hands on it.
Ginyu's eyes narrowed as he watched the various battlefields, his scouter fluctuating with data.
"Hmm? Their power levels change significantly during battle."
"So, they can control their power levels at will, just like me?"
"No wonder they have such confidence!"
Ginyu perked up slightly.
Those seemingly unremarkable fighters actually possessed power comparable to his special forces members.
"Well, if you lose, you don't deserve to remain in my team anyway."
"Now, let me handle this situation first."
Ginyu's attention shifted to Goku.
At that moment, Goku also turned his attention to Ginyu.
"You must be their leader. Your energy isn't as strong as Frieza's, but it's not bad."
"Perfect, let's use this as a warm-up."
In a flash, Goku smiled and attacked.
Exploding with speed, he appeared in front of Ginyu in the blink of an eye, throwing a heavy punch.
Ginyu quickly blocked Goku's attack, and both disappeared from sight.
The next second, they clashed mid-air.
Their speeds, with power levels over 100,000, were too fast for the naked eye to follow.
Goku and Ginyu's figures darted back and forth in the sky, evenly matched in their initial exchanges.
However, Goku was holding back, playing with Ginyu.
Ginyu would be easily crushed in one blow if he used his full power.
Watching the battle, Raditz and Piccolo shared their thoughts.
"Ginyu is stronger than I expected, but that's all. Kakarot is just playing with him, it's boring." Raditz said.
If it were him, he would have finished Ginyu quickly to avoid any complications.
"That's his personality; he hasn't changed after all these years." Piccolo said, knowing Goku better.
He thrives on challenging fights, getting stronger with stronger opponents.
Their comments made Vegeta gasp.
Even now, Goku wasn't using his full strength.
"Damn! What went wrong? Why am I so much weaker than them?"
"Could it be all because of that Tarles? Wait! If Kakarot and Raditz are here, then Tarles must be here too!"
Vegeta's anxiety deepened.
At that moment, a loud bang erupted in the sky.
Ginyu plummeted, blood trickling from his mouth.
After several exchanges, Goku started using more power.
Once Goku exerted himself, Ginyu couldn't keep up.
Ginyu never expected a seemingly harmless low-class Saiyan to have such formidable strength.
On the other battlefields, the Z Fighters were also overpowering the Ginyu Force members.
First, on Yamcha and Recoome's battlefield.
Once he fully adapted to his new power, Yamcha began using his full strength, moving from an even fight to a dominant one.
"What's wrong? Pineapple head, is this all the power you have? If so, I won't hold back anymore." Yamcha taunted continuously.
He had forgotten how close he was to being killed by Saibamen before.
"How is your power so high? No, impossible! I don't believe it!"
Recoome, seizing a chance, put some distance between himself and Yamcha.
Recoome's energy surged, and his muscles tensed.
"Feel my ultimate technique!"
"Recoome!!! Super Battle Bomb!"
In the midst of his technique, Recoome left himself wide open.
Even Yamcha couldn't miss this chance.
He rushed forward, pouring all his strength into a punch to Recoome's abdomen.
'Boom!' A loud air burst.
"You… have no honor…" Interrupted mid-attack, Recoome's eyes bulged in rage.
"Blame yourself for being too slow with your technique." Yamcha continued his assault, using his Wolf Fang Fist to deliver a series of devastating blows.
"Damn… if it weren't for my fight with Vegeta… you wouldn't…" Recoome couldn't finish his sentence before Yamcha landed a heavy kick to his face.
Recoome was close to death.
Elsewhere.
Burdock and Jeice, now fighting together, were still being overwhelmed by Tien Shinhan and Krillin.
Their combined Red and Blue Light Balls couldn't affect their opponents at all.
Tien and Krillin's teamwork was seamless.
Burdock and Jeice could only take a beating with the difference in power levels.
"Destructo Disc!" Seizing an opportunity, Krillin launched a Destructo Disc at Burdock.
"Such a slow move, how could it hit me!" Burdock dodged Krillin's attack with a swift side step.
"Watch out!!" Jeice noticed the danger, shouting a warning.
"What?!" Burdock sensed impending doom, a powerful energy blast from Tien Shinhan closing in.
Tien's Tri-Beam engulfed Burdock, its terrifying power covering him entirely.
With a thunderous crash, Burdock, severely injured, fell like a meteor.
"Damn it!!! Burdock is down, the Red and Blue Light Balls won't work." Jeice looked for a way out, his face grim.
The battle situation was dire for him.
"Kamehameha!!" As Jeice was distracted, Krillin attacked from behind, unleashing a blue energy wave.
"Damn!!" Jeice realized too late, unable to dodge, he was engulfed by the Kamehameha.
With Burdock and Jeice down, only Guldo remained.
In his psychic battle with Chiaotzu, he was also outmatched.
Both were masters of psychic abilities, but their skills varied.
"Damn it! Recoome and the others are down, I can't end up like them."
"Psychic Bind!!"
Guldo used his ultimate move.
His psychic power tried to immobilize Chiaotzu.
"What… what is this?!!" The Psychic Bind overwhelmed Chiaotzu, and his psychic power was suppressed.
He couldn't move.
"Hehe~~! Die now!!" Guldo sneered, aiming at a distant tree.
Like in the original, he planned to use the cut tree to kill Chiaotzu.
Just as Guldo was about to attack, a golden energy beam pierced his heart from afar.
"No… damn… an ambush…!!" With his heart pierced, Guldo died instantly.
With Guldo dead, Chiaotzu was freed from the bind.
"Are you okay, Chiaotzu?" Tien landed beside him, having saved him.
"Yes, yes." Chiaotzu nodded repeatedly.
"Good, now only that guy remains." Tien's stern gaze fell on Captain Ginyu.
