Vegeta had never dared to imagine that Bulma would choose to stay with him.
To be honest, her staying was exactly what he wanted.
But he couldn't actively ask her to remain. That would turn into him restricting Bulma's freedom—and that was something he refused to do.
Now that Bulma had chosen to stay of her own accord, it was no longer his problem.
Simply put, it made things easier for the two of them to interact and gradually understand each other.
Over the past two days, even though they hadn't spoken much, their relationship had undeniably made significant progress.
…
Just like that, another day passed.
During this time, Krillin and Gohan came by again to look for Bulma.
In fact, over the previous two days, they had visited several times already.
Their purpose was simple: to see what Bulma was doing and confirm whether she was in any danger.
They couldn't understand why Bulma would choose to stay after finishing the spaceship modifications.
But since it was her decision, they couldn't force her to leave. After confirming that Vegeta truly had no intention of harming her, they could only accept it.
All in all, their perception of Vegeta was slowly changing. At the very least, they no longer held the same level of hostility they had at the beginning.
As for Vegeta's gravity training, Krillin and Gohan were eager to try it as well.
As a result, Vegeta trained in a 200x gravity chamber, while they endured 50x Earth gravity inside Frieza's spaceship.
It had to be said—if not for the potential unlocked by the Grand Elder, they never would have been able to withstand fifty times Earth's gravity so suddenly.
Even though it had only been a single day, their strength had genuinely increased by a noticeable amount.
Vegeta didn't comment much on this, tacitly allowing it.
For no other reason than the fact that their arrival also brought Dende with them.
In other words, their rapid improvement was largely thanks to Dende's presence.
No matter how serious the injury or how drained their energy became, Dende could restore them at incredible speed.
Naturally, Vegeta also received Dende's treatment—allowing him to train even more recklessly.
With a top-tier healer backing him up, he had no fear of pushing himself to the brink of death.
After all, when it came to Saiyans increasing their strength, near-death recovery was undoubtedly the fastest method.
…
As noon approached, Vegeta ended his morning training.
Although Planet Namek didn't truly distinguish between day and night, people from other planets still maintained a sense of time.
Vegeta walked out of the gravity chamber shirtless. His body was marked with visible injuries from training, but he didn't care in the slightest.
To him, they were nothing more than minor wounds.
"Let me heal you, Vegeta-san," Dende said.
He had already been waiting outside, treating healing as his responsibility. Seeing Vegeta emerge, he stepped forward immediately.
"Thank you, Dende," Vegeta replied calmly, his tone unusually polite.
Because of Vegeta's actions—helping the Namekians and protecting Planet Namek—Dende's view of him had completely changed compared to the original timeline.
There was no fear left in him.
"You're welcome. It's the least I can do," Dende said obediently, beginning the treatment at once.
The process was incredibly fast.
In just a short moment, Vegeta felt his injuries disappear and his depleted stamina rapidly refill.
Logically speaking, with Vegeta's current strength, healing his injuries should have been possible—but restoring his energy so completely should have been far more difficult.
Yet Dende's healing technique was simply that miraculous.
With his body restored, Vegeta took a deep breath and stretched slightly.
Another boost in strength.
Although the increase wasn't as dramatic as before, it was still clearly noticeable.
More importantly, he could return to extreme training once again.
However, Vegeta forcibly suppressed the urge rising in his chest.
Because he had already sensed it.
The Ginyu Force's ki was approaching—and they were very close to Planet Namek.
At the same time, Vegeta detected another powerful ki rapidly closing in from the distant starry sky.
If his strength hadn't reached its current level—allowing his perception to extend across the entire galaxy—he never would have detected a presence moving faster than light.
That kind of speed was akin to continuously leaping between points in space.
"Finally arriving… Kakarot," Vegeta murmured, a faint smirk forming on his face.
Before he could move, a commotion erupted inside Frieza's spaceship.
Two people rushed out in a panic, reporting that the Ginyu Force's ship was approaching and asking whether they should transmit a signal to guide them in.
"Do it," Vegeta said coldly. "I'm looking forward to the looks on their faces when they see me. And even more so when they learn that Frieza is dead."
At his command, the two men shuddered, quickly retreating to send the signal.
On the other side, after sensing the terrifying ki of the Ginyu Force and receiving the news, Krillin and Gohan rushed out of the spaceship as well.
Dende immediately healed them, restoring their injuries and stamina, before the two stepped forward to stand beside Vegeta.
"It seems your strength has increased quite a bit," Vegeta said, glancing at them. "Your current battle power should be around 40,000."
Even without a scouter, he could roughly judge their level—after all, he had once been at that stage himself.
It was a shame they hadn't yet reached their original-story levels from fighting the Ginyu Force.
If Krillin reached 75,000, he could defeat everyone except Captain Ginyu.
As for Gohan… there was no need to say much.
He was a pure explosive fighter. When he fought Frieza's first form in the original timeline, his battle power had soared past 200,000.
Despite being pleased with their growth, both Gohan and Krillin clearly understood the gap between themselves and the enemies about to arrive.
"What do you plan to do next?" Krillin asked. "Eliminate them? Or…?"
At this moment, he was extremely unwilling to lose this opportunity.
After experiencing gravity training, he truly understood its effects.
If he had more time, he felt he could become far stronger—strong enough to face what was coming without fear.
Gohan felt the same way.
His power had increased so dramatically in a single day that, compared to his year of training with Uncle Piccolo, it was on a completely different level.
Of course, the two couldn't be compared.
Without a solid foundation, such explosive growth would have been impossible.
Part of their rapid improvement came from long-term accumulation, and part of it was due to the Grand Elder's potential unlocking—opening a new pathway within them and allowing their strength to surge.
