"I have to say, you're getting better and better at luring in monsters."
After parking on Kame House Island and getting out, Xu Yue looked at the Pig King, who had already been rescued, with some surprise.
Last time, he had asked him to lure over a Reincarnator with Dragon Balls, and the considerate fellow had lured them all over. This time, he had barely returned home before the old Piccolo was brought right to his doorstep.
Because King Piccolo was stronger than in the original timeline and had appeared earlier, the trigger task had shown up around the time they finished traveling the world.

"How interesting. You still dared to lose focus even with me standing here. I see now. So you're the strongest man in the world that fellow mentioned."
When Piccolo saw Xu Yue appear, a trace of gravity surfaced
