The Course of History

"???"

Gran, Beerus, and Whis could only stare wide-eyed at each other. When had this Poop Scooper gone off to find the Dragon Balls?

"Lord Gran, didn't you go teach Little Gohan and Piccolo how to train some time ago? I used that time to gather the Dragon Balls," Bulma explained.

Gran also remembered what had happened two months earlier.

Back then, Bulma had kept following behind him. He had thought she wanted to go have fun with him again, but she had walked right past him without even acknowledging him. It had made for quite an awkward little misunderstanding.

"So you went to collect the Dragon Balls."

Only then did Gran realize it. He asked in confusion, "What did you collect the Dragon Balls for?"

"Lord Gran, have you forgotten what happened in the Future Timeline? I originally wanted to use the Dragon Balls to cure Goku's heart disease."

Bulma pulled a bitter face. "But then I thought Vegeta and the others were about to invade Earth. If anything happened, I could still use the Dragon Balls to turn things around, so I didn't use them first. Who would've thought Piccolo would die!"

If Piccolo died, the Heavenly God would die too. And if the Heavenly God died, the Dragon Balls could no longer be used. Bulma had learned that long ago in the Future Timeline.

Gran and the other two: "..."

"Lord Gran, what do we do now?"

"You'll know in a moment."

Seeing that Bulma still wanted to ask, Gran waved a hand. "Enough. Kakarot suffered a huge loss this time, so he's going to get serious. Vegeta is as good as dead now."

Everyone shifted their gaze back to the battlefield below.

Logically speaking, 3 million Battle Power was the threshold for becoming a Super Saiyan.
