"Gohan, stay back and observe for now. I'll go first. If I really can't handle him, then you step in."
As the elder, Krillin couldn't possibly let Gohan rush to the front.
Even if he knew Gohan's strength might already surpass his own.
"I understand, Uncle Krillin," Gohan replied seriously, nodding.
The two stood side by side, facing the malicious gazes of the Ginyu Force, like prey being sized up by hunters.
No—
They were prey.
Because as long as they were defeated, Vegeta would let the Ginyu Force leave.
Even though Krillin and Gohan both knew Vegeta was deliberately toying with them, the feeling still made their skin crawl.
"Vegeta! You'll keep your word, right?" Recoome asked loudly, his simple-minded nature showing through.
"If it's a fair fight and we win, you'll let us go?"
Recoome quickly accepted Vegeta's words at face value.
Jeice, Burter, and Guldo felt uneasy, but they also decided to watch carefully—this was their chance to see whether Vegeta would truly honor his promise.
Off to the side, Ginyu remained silent, his expression cold and calculating.
His eyes never left Vegeta.
This was a perfect opportunity.
As long as Vegeta let his guard down, Ginyu was confident he could succeed.
"No, no, no," Vegeta said calmly, correcting him.
"It's not one-on-one. What I said was one by one. As long as one of you can defeat both of them, you're free to leave."
Not one-on-one.
One versus two.
"Whatever," Recoome waved it off. "As long as I beat them, I can leave, right?"
He just wanted out—fast.
Unlike Jeice and Burter, he hadn't clashed much with Vegeta in the past, so he didn't doubt him.
"Of course," Vegeta replied.
"Good!" Recoome laughed loudly. "You heard that, right? It's not me, the great Recoome, looking for trouble—it's Vegeta who wants you dead!"
Recoome turned toward Krillin and Gohan, clearly eager to start.
Just before he charged, Burter called out from behind him.
"Don't underestimate them. Even if they're just a bald guy and a brat, their power levels are both close to 40,000."
"I know," Recoome replied impatiently. "The scouter already told me. The bald one's at 37,000, and the brat's at 39,000."
He suddenly struck a bizarre pose, his muscles tensing as his aura surged.
"Recoome—ATTACK!!"
The moment he shouted, his massive body shot forward.
Despite his bulky appearance, his movements were shockingly agile.
"Be careful, Gohan!" Krillin shouted.
"Got it!!" Gohan replied.
They split apart instantly, causing Recoome's charge to miss completely.
The game had officially begun.
Vegeta watched with interest, occasionally glancing toward Ginyu from the corner of his eye.
No one truly knew the limits of Ginyu's Body Change ability.
If Vegeta were caught off guard, the consequences would be disastrous.
Still, he had confidence—absolute confidence.
That was precisely why he allowed Ginyu to remain alive.
After all, he needed to leave an opponent behind for Kakarot, didn't he?
Vegeta could already sense it.
Goku's spaceship was approaching Planet Namek and would arrive within minutes.
…
As the battle between Recoome, Krillin, and Gohan intensified, everyone else became spectators.
What unfolded shocked nearly everyone present—especially the members of the Ginyu Force.
They knew exactly how strong Recoome was.
Yet in this fight, he couldn't gain any advantage.
He couldn't even touch Krillin or Gohan.
Even with a gap of several thousand in power level, logic said he should at least suppress them—but instead, he was being completely played.
Only now did they finally realize it.
Vegeta wasn't just humiliating them with words.
He was showing them—
They couldn't even defeat a bald man and a kid.
"Damn it! Damn bald man! Damn brat!" Recoome roared furiously. "Do you only know how to dodge?! If you've got guts, fight me head-on!"
Being hit over and over again would wear down even a body of steel.
Recoome had never felt this frustrated before.
By now, his battle suit was torn to shreds, blood seeping from multiple wounds across his body.
Krillin and Gohan worked together seamlessly, completely ignoring Recoome's furious shouting as they continued their relentless assault.
At first, both of them had been cautious.
But as the fight dragged on, they found their rhythm.
Their confidence grew.
Their power grew.
Bit by bit, their battle power pushed past 40,000.
At this point, even in a one-on-one fight—
They might not lose to Recoome at all.
