No one else could see it,
but Vegeta saw right through Captain Ginyu's intentions.
He knew the man's entire history.
He knew exactly what Ginyu had done in the original timeline.
And he knew exactly what kind of creature Captain Ginyu truly was.
That was why Vegeta was almost… excited.
Would Ginyu actually try to swap bodies with Kakarot?
Because right now, Goku's basic combat power had already passed one hundred twenty thousand.
That was at least equal to Captain Ginyu's full strength, if not higher.
Which meant that even without using the Kaio ken, Goku could crush him easily.
Ginyu, without his body switching secret, was basically useless.
He was just a man whose only talent was having a big number on a scouter.
Come on, Kakarot,
Vegeta smirked silently.
Show me what you are really capable of.
No one noticed his expression,
not even Bulma and Nail who stood slightly behind him.
On the opposite side, Captain Ginyu's mouth curled into a sinister smile.
A confident smile,
the smile of someone who believed he held the winning card.
Goku, of course, did not care at all.
He simply descended in front of Ginyu with an easygoing smile.
"You are different from the others," Goku said.
"You are a lot stronger."
Ginyu's chest rose proudly.
"Obviously. Why else do you think I am the captain?"
As he spoke, he tapped his scouter and scanned Goku.
Twenty five thousand.
That was all it showed.
Ginyu nodded slowly.
"So that is it," he said smugly.
"You are one of those types. People who can raise their power suddenly.
Judging by how you fought the others, your real battle strength should be above sixty thousand. Am I right?"
Goku scratched his cheek innocently.
"I do not really know what sixty thousand feels like…
but if higher numbers mean stronger power, then I am probably way above that."
He was not bragging.
Goku simply did not pretend to be weak.
Ginyu snorted.
"Even if you are hiding something, you cannot be above eighty thousand.
Listen well. I will be generous and tell you my full strength.
I may not match Vegeta's one hundred eighty thousand, but I have one hundred twenty thousand."
"Oh yeah? So you are at one hundred twenty thousand," Goku replied casually.
Ginyu froze.
That reaction…
that total lack of fear…
He felt like he was talking to a complete idiot.
But the longer he stared, the angrier he became.
He was being underestimated.
Captain Ginyu,
a warrior second only to Frieza,
being brushed off by a so called low class Saiyan?
Unforgivable.
With a violent burst of energy, Ginyu shot forward, elbow aimed at Goku's jaw.
But before the strike could land,
Goku casually raised one hand and blocked it.
Then Goku countered with a punch toward Ginyu's face.
Even with his mediocre technique, Ginyu still had one hundred twenty thousand battle power.
He reacted in time, raising his arm to block.
Fists collided.
Kicks clashed.
Shockwaves spread across the ground.
Neither gained an easy advantage.
By the time they separated and leapt back, both had finally gotten a sense of each other.
"Whew… you are pretty tough," Goku grinned.
"Just now, I almost did not dodge that punch."
He rolled his shoulders and stretched.
This fight was different.
This opponent was someone he could really go all out against.
And Goku could not be happier.
