Goku: Broly killed King Piccolo?

"Then, what did you come to see me about?" Master Korin stopped teasing him, got back to business, and asked directly.

When it came to the serious matter, Son Goku's face immediately turned stern. He clenched his fists, a blazing fire of determination in his eyes, and said earnestly to Master Korin, "That guy named King Piccolo is a villain! He killed a lot of innocent people, even Krillin... Please help me train! I have to beat him! To avenge Krillin and everyone else!"

Master Korin didn't answer right away. Instead, he fell into a brief silence.

Then, Master Korin just quietly watched Son Goku, his cat face unreadable, as if weighing something.

After several seconds, just as Son Goku was about to speak again, unable to hold back, Master Korin slowly said, "Hold on, let's restore your strength first."

With that, Master Korin turned and picked up an ancient clay pot nearby, took out a single emerald-green bean, and casually tossed it to Son Goku.

Son Goku caught it deftly, held it up to look, and was slightly taken aback. "Isn't this a Senzu Bean?"

"Senzu Bean?" Yajirobe, hearing the name, was stunned for a moment, then recalled how Goku had tricked him into climbing the tower with this before. His anger flared up instantly, and he roared furiously, "So this is a Senzu Bean?! You bastard, what kind of good food is this supposed to be?! It just looks like an ordinary, crappy bean!"

Saying this, Yajirobe stomped over angrily and peered into the clay pot.

Inside, it was packed full of these green beans.

Yajirobe got even angrier, feeling he'd been massively deceived.

"For these lousy beans! You made me exhaust myself, almost fall off the tower and die!" Yajirobe grew more furious as he spoke, as if venting all the grievances from climbing the tower. He suddenly reached out, grabbed a huge handful of Senzu Beans, and without even looking, shoved them all into his mouth, chewing vigorously while cursing indistinctly, "Damn it! Crappy beans! Not tasty at all! Dry and flavorless!"

Master Korin: "..."

Son Goku: "..."

Watching Yajirobe's petulant act, Master Korin and Son Goku were both stunned, mouths agape, unsure how to react.

Yajirobe swallowed the whole handful of Senzu Beans in one gulp. Just as he was about to keep cursing, he suddenly felt an extremely strange sensation in his stomach.

It was as if a massive surge of energy instantly expanded in his gut.

The next moment, Yajirobe's belly visibly swelled up, like an inflating balloon!

"Uh... burp... so... so full... my stomach..." Yajirobe doubled over in pain, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He felt like his belly was about to burst, completely miserable, collapsing to the ground and groaning in agony.

"Haha, you idiot!" Son Goku couldn't help but burst out laughing at Yajirobe's ridiculous sight, tears almost streaming down his face. "One Senzu Bean can keep you full for ten days! And you ate a whole handful! You're lucky you didn't explode!"

With that, Son Goku tossed his own Senzu Bean into his mouth, chewed a few times, and swallowed.

Instantly, a warm and powerful surge of heat flooded his entire body!

The wounds on Son Goku's body healed at a visible rate.

All fatigue and weakness vanished. His depleted energy instantly returned to its peak, and he even felt more vigorous than before!

"How is it? Back to your old self?" Master Korin asked with a smile, watching Son Goku instantly regain his vitality and look radiant.

"Really! It's amazing! All my injuries are healed! My strength is fully back!" Son Goku excitedly swung his fists and kicked a few times, stirring up gusts of wind, feeling the surging power within. Then he looked eagerly at Master Korin, his eyes full of anticipation. "So, Master Korin, can you teach me martial arts again? Like last time!"

"Unfortunately, Goku," Master Korin gently shook his head, a hint of shame and emotion on his face. "I have nothing left to teach you! To my embarrassment, your skills have long surpassed mine."

"Huh?" The smile on Son Goku's face instantly froze, replaced by disappointment and confusion. "Then... what do I do? What about King Piccolo... Is there no way?"

"You don't need to worry about that," Master Korin said calmly, seeing Son Goku's anxious look. "King Piccolo is already dead."

"Dead?!" Son Goku was struck as if by lightning, completely frozen. His eyes went wide, his mouth gaping as if he could fit an egg. He couldn't believe his ears and pressed, "How did he die? Who... who beat him?"

"Broly killed him," Master Korin replied truthfully, a complex expression on his cat face.

"Broly?" Son Goku was stunned. His brain seemed to short-circuit from the unexpected name. He blinked, momentarily not registering it. "Which Broly?"

"The one you know, the Broly staying at Master Roshi's house," Master Korin confirmed.

Son Goku was dumbfounded again.

"That's right. Broly grabbed his head and just crushed it flat... and then he died." Master Korin's mouth twitched slightly as he said this with a mix of emotions.

That kid named Broly...

Was ridiculously strong...

Good thing King Piccolo had already spawned a new life before that, as a continuation...

Otherwise, that old guy up in the sky would have vanished too, and then Shenron would never appear again.

At least after King Piccolo died, the egg inside his body flew out and left...

Though that also blew up King Piccolo's body, saving the trouble of dissection.

"Who's Broly?!" Yajirobe, who had just barely recovered from the bloating pain, was shocked by the conversation. He struggled to sit up, staring at Master Korin and Son Goku in disbelief. "Even that King Piccolo, who could beat you like that, Goku... he could kill him? Just how strong is this guy?"

"Broly? Broly killed King Piccolo?" Son Goku still looked incredulous, scratching his head hard, his voice full of confusion. "But... doesn't Broly know how to fight? I've never seen him train! At Master Roshi's house, all he did was eat and sleep..."

"That's how it is," Master Korin sighed softly, his expression turning serious. He mused, "Even though he didn't deliberately release his aura, at the moment he destroyed King Piccolo, I sensed a flash of immense energy! It was definitely far beyond yours, Goku."
