Chapter 143: Chapter 12: Ginyu Turns into a Frog
Vegeta was momentarily stunned by Ginyu's bewildering move, but quickly regained his composure and responded with a cold laugh, "Oh, Ginyu, are you trying to surrender by deliberately injuring yourself to lower my guard?"
"But let me make one thing clear," Vegeta continued, "I'm a very discerning person, and it won't be easy to gain my trust through such methods."
From a distance, John Doe witnessed Ginyu's action and instantly realized that Ginyu was about to use his body-swapping ability. However, John couldn't quite understand why Ginyu would attempt to swap bodies with Vegeta, as Vegeta's current strength would allow him to dodge the attack before Ginyu's skill could land.
If Vegeta hadn't accompanied him, John would have been the target of Ginyu's body-swapping skill. But unlike Vegeta, John was well-aware of the plot, making it impossible for Ginyu to successfully use his skill on him.
According to Trunks' account, John had indeed died, but not in the way he had disappeared in the universe. How had Ginyu managed to execute the body swap with him?
Vegeta had already taken a position at the forefront, and John only needed to save him at the critical moment.
John took out a frog from his pocket, which he had prepared in advance, and muttered to himself, "I think it's better if Ginyu turns into a frog."
Back at the confrontation between Ginyu and Vegeta, Ginyu smiled after hearing Vegeta's words and said, "Vegeta, aren't you curious about something?"
"What is it? What's so strange about it?" Vegeta asked.
"Don't you find it odd that the Ginyu you saw, which is me, has three faces?" Ginyu inquired.
Vegeta was taken aback and replied, "What's so strange about that? What are you trying to say?"
Ginyu gave a sinister smile and said, "Vegeta, I want to tell you a secret. The two people you saw before were actually both me."
"Both you?!" Vegeta was stunned.
But in that moment of distraction, Gurd launched his time-stopping skill.
John realized that Gurd was using his psychic powers, allowing Ginyu to take advantage of the situation and initiate the body swap.
Since this scene wasn't part of the original story, John wasn't particularly on guard.
As long as Gurd's time-stopping skill could hold John for a moment, Ginyu would be able to complete the body swap.
Vegeta was now trapped by Gurd's time-stopping skill, and Ginyu, seizing the opportunity, shouted, "Swap!"
"Now's the time!" John shouted, throwing the frog in his hand towards Vegeta.
Ginyu, realizing there was another person hiding nearby, had already activated his skill and couldn't stop it.
Vegeta, immobilized by Gurd's skill, watched helplessly as the attack, which should have hit him, struck the frog that suddenly appeared and blocked the attack.
Vegeta was powerful, and Gurd could only restrict him for a few seconds with his current strength.
Once the time restriction was lifted, Vegeta regained his mobility, while Gurd, exhausted from the effort, collapsed on the ground. However, his eyes were filled with anticipation as he looked at Vegeta and asked, "Did it work?"
Vegeta clenched his fist and moved his arm, but felt no changes in his body.
Meanwhile, Ginyu, a member of the Ginyu Force, was on all fours, hopping like a frog.
John flew over and said to Vegeta, "That was a close call. I saved your life. If I hadn't intervened, Ginyu's special skill would have swapped bodies with you."
"Body swap?" Vegeta was unfamiliar with Ginyu's special skill and asked curiously.
John proceeded to explain Ginyu's body-swapping skill in detail, then pointed to the frog and said, "Because I threw this frog in front of you, it took the hit and swapped bodies with Ginyu. Now this frog is Ginyu, and the other Ginyu has become a frog."
Vegeta looked at the frog in front of him and was about to stomp on it.
"Forget it," John said. "He's already a frog, and he doesn't have many years left to live. Let him live out his life as a frog."
Hearing John's words, Vegeta stopped his action and said, "You're right. The thought of Ginyu spending the rest of his life as a frog brings me inexplicable joy."
Vegeta then turned to the remaining three members of the Ginyu Force and said, "Now there are only three of you left. Won't you speak?"
The three members of the Ginyu Force exchanged glances, and finally, the white-haired Jeice spoke up, "We surrender. You have our friends imprisoned."
They led John and Vegeta to a cage where John saw not only Cane but also many other martial artists from the planet.
Cane, upon seeing John, shouted excitedly, "Big brother, I knew it! I knew you'd come to save me!"
John felt a bit embarrassed, as he had initially hesitated, especially after hearing about his future from Trunks.
Of course, John wasn't going to admit it, so he patted Cane on the back and said, "Of course I'd come to save you. After all, you're suffering because of me."
At that moment, the remaining three members of the Ginyu Force realized that John and Vegeta's attention was elsewhere, and they took the opportunity to leap and fly away.
Vegeta gave a cold smile and said, "Trying to escape?" He then flew after them.
John didn't mind; he knew that Vegeta's hatred for the Ginyu Force would lead him to eliminate the remaining three members without John's help.
As the sky in the distance erupted with three explosions, the Ginyu Force was completely annihilated on that remote planet.
After eliminating the entire Frieza Force, John and Vegeta bid farewell to the people of the planet and prepared to return to Earth.
Of course, they didn't need to travel back in a spaceship; John used his instant transmission technique to teleport himself and Vegeta back to Earth.
Seeing John and Vegeta's safe return, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the future had already changed. John had returned safely, and Goku would likely be spared from his heart disease.
