"Burter, no matter how fast that guy is, he can't possibly be faster than you—the fastest in the universe. If we work together, we can definitely take him down," Jeice suggested to Burter, who stood beside him.
"Of course! I am the fastest in the universe, after all. No one can beat me when it comes to speed," Burter replied with pride, basking in Jeice's praise.
For years, Burter had been untouchable in the field of speed. None of the Ginyu Force members could rival him, and he didn't believe anyone else could either—not even Son Goku. No matter how strong or fast Son Goku was, Burter was confident in his ability to outpace him at full speed.
The two of them discussed their plan, while Son Goku had no interest in listening to their conversation. After all, no matter how much they argued, it would be useless. His raw power was far superior to theirs. All their strategies were meaningless.
After strategizing, the two decided that Jeice would distract Goku, while Burter would use his speed to strike from behind.
"Crusher Ball!" Jeice suddenly leaped into the air, gathering a red energy sphere in his left hand. With a dramatic gesture, he launched the energy ball toward Son Goku like a volleyball spike.
Goku merely looked up at Jeice without moving, showing no intention of dodging.
"You're underestimating me! You're not even dodging my Crusher Ball—do you have a death wish?!" Jeice shouted, clearly enraged by Goku's calm indifference.
With a loud 'BOOM', the area around Goku exploded in a massive burst of smoke and dust.
"Goku!" Krillin yelled, his previously calm demeanor replaced with anxiety at the sight of the explosion.
But as the smoke cleared, blown away by a strong gust of wind, Goku was revealed standing in the same spot, completely unharmed. His relaxed expression remained, though his clothes were now slightly dusty from the blast.
In the blink of an eye, Burter rushed behind Goku, his claw-shaped hand aimed to strike.
However, Goku didn't respond with helplessness.
Turning his head slightly, Goku easily dodged Burter's sneak attack, then countered with a powerful sidekick from his right leg, sending Burter flying through the air.
Before Burter could recover, Goku appeared above him in a flash, raised his right hand, and delivered a precise karate chop to Burter's neck.
"Aagh!" Burter screamed in pain before plummeting to the ground, barely clinging to life.
Jeice, still airborne, froze in shock, stunned by the rapid defeat of his partner.
But Goku didn't give Jeice time to react. With a swift movement, he appeared in front of Jeice and delivered two sharp punches to his face, sending Jeice crashing to the ground.
"Wow, Dad! You're amazing!" Gohan exclaimed, his eyes wide with admiration as he watched Goku dominate the battle.
"Yeah, Goku, I didn't expect you to be this strong. Looks like we're totally safe now!" Krillin chimed in, offering praise without hesitation.
"Kakarot, you're still as naïve as ever. The enemy should be completely destroyed, not left alive to breathe and recover," Vegeta stated, his face marked with disdain directed at Son Goku.
Raising his right hand, Vegeta began gathering energy for a powerful blast and aimed at the fallen members of the Ginyu Force.
Seeing Vegeta's behavior, Goku simply smiled and said nothing else.
After all, this was Vegeta's nature—he never showed mercy to his enemies.

Near Frieza's Spaceship
Captain Ginyu stood next to the seven Dragon Balls, frustration etched on his face. He realized his scouter no longer detected the power levels of his team members.
Captain Ginyu had already understood that his entire team had been wiped out. Rage boiled within him, not only at their defeat but at the thought of striking poses alone in the future.
"Whoever you are, you'll pay for this!" Ginyu roared, his voice filled with fury.
Hiding the seven Dragon Balls beneath the ground, Ginyu charged up his energy and flew toward the battlefield where his team had been defeated.
Without sparing a moment to mourn his fallen comrades, Captain Ginyu stormed onto the scene, eyes blazing with anger.
"So, you're the one who killed my team!" Ginyu yelled at Son Goku. "To vent my fury, I'll tear you apart with my own hands! I'll show you why you should never enrage me!"
The ground cracked beneath Ginyu's feet as he dashed toward Son Goku, throwing a powerful punch with his right fist.
Son Goku calmly raised his arm and effortlessly blocked Ginyu's furious blow.
"What?!" Ginyu gasped in shock. His punch, delivered with all his strength, had been stopped as though it were nothing.
Shocked, Ginyu did not stop his attack right away. He gathered energy into his left hand and hurled an energy blast directly at Goku's face.
"This won't work on me," Goku said casually as he dodged the attack with ease.
"Stop looking down on me!" After seeing that the attack was ineffective, Ginyu quickly retreated. "If one isn't enough, then try my barrage of energy blasts!"
Rapidly waving his hands, Ginyu generated a flurry of energy blasts, sending them hurtling toward Son Goku.
But Goku wasn't concerned. With his current strength, he could easily handle even Frieza. Using just his hands, he deflected each of Ginyu's attacks without breaking a sweat.
Ginyu was stunned to see that all of his attacks were effortlessly neutralized by Son Goku, having no effect whatsoever.
['Who is this guy and how can he be so powerful? Could it be that he is the Super Saiyan that Lord Frieza is afraid of?']
['In that case, it looks like I'll have to use my trump card.']
After the attack failed, Ginyu calmly thought about his next move.
Seeing Ginyu deep in thought, Son Goku immediately understood Ginyu's plan.
In his previous life, Ginyu had used his body-swap technique to take over Goku's body. Unfortunately for Ginyu, he had been unfamiliar with his new body and suffered a beating at Vegeta's hands. Forced to swap back, Ginyu's final attempt to regain power ended with him trapped in the body of a frog, thanks to Goku's quick thinking.
But this time, Goku wasn't about to let Ginyu even get close to executing his plan.
Spotting a frog hopping nearby, Goku swiftly grabbed it and hid it behind his back, moving so fast that Ginyu didn't notice.
At that moment, Ginyu prepared his ultimate technique. Raising his right hand, he struck himself in the chest with tremendous force, then stretched his arms wide as his body began to glow brightly.
"Change, now!" Ginyu shouted, unleashing his body-swap ability toward Goku.
But just as the energy surged forward, Goku threw the frog into its path.
['What...what!'] To Ginyu's shock, he had successfully swapped bodies with the frog.
Now trapped in the frog's body, Ginyu could no longer speak or use his technique. Stripped of his powers, he was no longer a threat.
And with that, the Ginyu Force was completely destroyed, their leader left hopping helplessly on the ground as a frog.
"Alright, the immediate danger has been dealt with. You two can go find the Dragon Balls and make your wish," Goku said, turning to Gohan and Krillin.
"As for me, I'm going to take care of Frieza."
Goku then turned to Vegeta. "What about you, Vegeta? Want to come with me to fight Frieza?"
