As he was about to face Frieza, Krillin seemed a little nervous, but he noticed that the Saiyans, despite being only stronger than Bulma on this spaceship, showed no sign of nervousness at all.
This is what Saiyans are like. Once they find a combat target, these guys feel no fear or nervousness, only excitement.
Additionally, there was their blind faith in the Super Saiyan, the legendary strongest warrior.
As Goku gradually mastered the ability to transform into a Super Saiyan at will, in the eyes of these few Saiyans, Frieza was already a dead man.
No matter how strong that guy was, he was definitely no match for a Super Saiyan.
Krillin could not understand this mysterious confidence, but he did have faith in Ethan and Goku. Those two guys were monstrously strong and should be able to defeat that guy named Frieza, right?
He had never considered escaping. Frieza was currently heading toward Earth, and if they could not intercept and kill him in space, Earth would face a great disaster and would very likely be destroyed by this great demon of the universe.
"Can we win?"
"We can definitely win!"
Hearing Ethan's reply, Krillin finally felt relieved. Ethan also gave him some encouragement.
"Don't worry. Although Frieza has many subordinates, there are only a few who can truly be considered masters. Aside from Frieza, with your current strength, you are fully capable of handling the rest of them."
Ethan thought for a moment, then suddenly turned to Vegeta and asked, "Do you have anything to add?"
Although Vegeta had been in a chaotic mood recently, and the cruel reality made him very unhappy, after learning that Super Saiyan was not just a legend and that he himself had hope of becoming one, he was once again full of hope for the future.
As for the present, what he needed to do was constantly improve himself through the great battle against Frieza's forces. Considering that Frieza was too powerful for his current self to handle, no matter how he looked at it, Vegeta had to stand with Ethan and the others.
"Frieza has an elite special forces unit called the Ginyu Force, named after their captain, Ginyu." Vegeta decisively revealed information about Frieza's subordinates. "They are Frieza's strongest warriors. Frieza sends the Ginyu Force to deal with some troublesome planets, and he does not need to send any additional personnel."
Vegeta was also wary of this elite unit.
"So far, the Ginyu Force has never failed a mission."
Ethan nodded, then continued pressing for more information. "Do you know how many members are in the Ginyu Force and what their power levels are?"
"..."
Vegeta fell silent. He really did not know those specific details. This reaction once again left Ethan speechless, but he knew this was just Vegeta's personality, so he could only say to Krillin, "You and Piccolo might need to be careful of these guys."
Actually, with Krillin's current strength, he would not need to worry even if he ran into Ginyu, but Ethan did not plan to reveal more information.
"Hmph, I'd really like to see how strong these guys are."
Frieza would definitely be handled by Ethan or Goku. Although Piccolo also wanted to challenge him, he knew his strength was not enough to fight Frieza, so he set his sights on Frieza's subordinates.
Somewhat similar to Vegeta's thinking, Piccolo also wanted to use Frieza's vast forces to hone his martial arts.
"Hey! What about me?"
Everyone's attention shifted to Yoruichi. Only then did Krillin realize that Yoruichi's strength was also considerable, which made him feel even more at ease.
Goku and Ethan would handle Frieza. With two people that strong holding the line, could Frieza really be so powerful that even they could not handle him?
Even if Frieza had powerful subordinates, they could not possibly be stronger than Yoruichi. She also possessed the ability to instantly boost her power through transformation.
"Yoruichi, you can just be responsible for protecting me!"
Bulma, holding a drink in one hand, put her other arm around Yoruichi's shoulder. Although she had experienced many dangers as a seasoned adventurer, she did not really think that she, with no combat ability, could handle everything in this environment, so having a bodyguard was very necessary.
Yoruichi was strong and a girl, making her the best choice in every way.
"Okay!"
Yoruichi thought for a moment. According to the information Ethan had privately revealed, Frieza's strength was not on the same level as his subordinates at all. It would not be difficult for Frieza alone to wipe out all of his own subordinates. However, as the Emperor of the Universe, he could not do everything himself, and combined with the vast size of the territory he had conquered, that was why he had so many subordinates.
Since they were all just small fry, her interest was not very high, but that did not stop her from using this chance to tease Bulma.
"But... I'll be charging a fee!"
"What fee?" Looking at Yoruichi's eyes, which were remarkably similar to Master Roshi's, Bulma suddenly took a big step sideways and stood beside Krillin. "Actually, I think Krillin can protect me. Yoruichi, you're so strong, you should eliminate more bad guys."
"..."
In this relaxed atmosphere, the distance between Ethan's spaceship and Frieza's spaceship grew shorter and shorter.
With King Kai helping them keep watch, they absolutely could not drift off course and miss Frieza. Ethan even asked King Kai to observe the surrounding area for a suitable planet to serve as a battlefield.
And they really did find one. Although the gravity was slightly heavier than Earth's, about twice Earth's gravity, and the atmosphere was unsuitable for human breathing with no life on it, it was a perfect battlefield for people who had no experience fighting in space.
Moreover, choosing to fight on a nearby planet also allowed Bulma to stay alone on the spaceship, hidden behind a moon to remain concealed. This way, no one needed to be specifically assigned to protect her.
If the intelligence turned out to be wrong, Bulma could simply pilot the spaceship and escape. The ship had detection equipment, and Frieza's subordinates did not know how to conceal their energy signatures.
"This is the place!"
Ethan decided not to go any farther, but to quietly wait for Frieza here. When Frieza's spaceship reached this area, they would find a way to force it to land on the nearby planet.
Because of this, the encounter with Frieza was delayed by a few more days. Ethan and the others quietly adjusted their condition, preparing for this major battle.
"Check your equipment, and if everything's fine, let's go!"
Everyone adjusted their battle suits. No one here could survive in a vacuum and all of them relied on these battle suits. This concerned their own lives, so no one took it lightly.
Seeing everyone nod in agreement, Ethan checked the small container holding the Senzu Beans once more.
Besides Ethan, Yoruichi, Goku, and Krillin, who each carried a small amount of Senzu Beans, Raditz and Piccolo each carried one as a survival trump card. Only Nappa and Vegeta did not have any. They did not even know what those were.
After confirming that everything was in order, everyone entered a separate chamber nearby and then left the spaceship through that airlock.
Everyone felt a little uncomfortable floating in the vacuum, but fortunately, the Flying Technique was unaffected by the vacuum. Soon, everyone got used to it and followed Goku, rushing toward Frieza's spaceship.
Just as they arrived on Frieza's expected route, the disc-shaped spaceship of Frieza's group appeared in sight.
"I sense a powerful and very evil energy!"
Krillin carefully sensed the energy coming from ahead.
"This energy almost completely overshadows all the others, making it impossible to focus on anyone else."
Frieza's power was immense, but after witnessing Ethan and Goku, Krillin did not find someone of this level particularly terrifying.
Over there, Vegeta and Nappa put on their scouters. They had prepared quite a few scouters for this trip. Although Goku and the others could locate enemies and judge their strength by sensing energy, these devices also served as communication equipment, so everyone wore one on their face for this battle.
Through the scouter, Vegeta could clearly see that Frieza's power level was 530,000, exactly matching the data Ethan had provided.
"530,000..."
With Frieza like this, let alone Goku in his Super Saiyan state, even without transforming, those two guys could easily kill him.
"I wonder what Frieza's power level will be after he transforms."
They lined up here, blocking the front of Frieza's spaceship. As long as Frieza was not blind, he could see them. Moreover, the current Vegeta and Nappa still did not know how to hide their energy. Vegeta had already started learning to sense and control energy, but he was not skilled enough. Nappa had not even started thinking about it.
Frieza was currently sitting in his small hover pod, a smile on his lips as he looked at Vegeta and the large group of strangers on the screen.
"Lord Frieza, is there something important that Vegeta is blocking the way for?"
Zarbon, beside him, was full of confusion and could not understand what kind of stunt Vegeta was trying to pull.
However, Frieza's gaze did not linger on Vegeta for too long, but kept examining the other strangers, finally settling on Goku.
"This person looks a bit familiar..."
After thinking for a moment, Frieza suddenly remembered that this person looked exactly like the Saiyan who had stubbornly resisted back then.
"Oh? So it's a Saiyan... I didn't expect there to be other Saiyans alive."
Frieza realized that these guys were coming for him, and he found it very amusing.
"A bunch of fools who don't know their place..." Just as he was about to say a few more lines, Frieza noticed that the group had suddenly taken up attacking stances. At the same moment they prepared to attack, the scouters on everyone's faces inside the spaceship exploded.
"What?"
(To be continued.)
