In the Dragon Ball World, two servants of gods were exceptionally mysterious.
One was Whis, the angel who served God of Destruction Beerus. He was not only Beerus's aide in his work as a God of Destruction, but also the teacher of every God of Destruction.
Whis was not only powerful, but also held a very special position. In Dragon Ball Super, even when Zeno erased an entire universe, the angels continued to exist. And that was not to mention that the angels were also children of the Grand Priest—a fact that spoke volumes about their status.
The other was the black man standing before Turles—Mr. Popo.
Popo was the servant and guardian of Earth's Kami, Piccolo. He had long kept watch over the Lookout, and had lived longer than the current Kami, Piccolo. He was also one of the most mysterious characters in Dragon Ball.
Seeing that Dero and Kami, Piccolo were still chatting, Turles thought for a moment, then finally walked over to Popo.
"May I ask you a few questions?"
Turles did not look down on Popo just because his own battle power was greater. He knew Popo was no ordinary person, because even standing right in front of him, Turles could not sense a trace of his ki.
If Turles had still held even a little contempt for Earth's martial arts before coming to the planet, that contempt had completely vanished the moment he saw Popo.
This was the first time he had encountered someone besides himself whose ki he could not sense at all, so Turles was very courteous to Popo.
"What would you like to ask, sir?"
Popo's tone remained even and steady, as though Turles's question had stirred no emotion in him.
"Uh! Well, I'd like to ask you about martial arts. I hope you can give me some guidance."
Raditz, standing nearby, was immediately startled. He looked at Turles, then turned to Popo with a surprised expression.
"Could this be a master who's hiding all his ki, just like Turles?"
Raditz wondered to himself. He knew Turles was no ordinary person. Ever since learning to sense ki, he had been unable to detect any trace of Turles unless Turles deliberately released his ki. Even his Scouter showed a reading of 0.
And now Turles was being so courteous to this unremarkable-looking black man. Raditz couldn't help but wonder.
Popo was also a little surprised by Turles's attitude. Although the man before him had completely concealed his ki, Popo, who had lived for a very long time, could still vaguely sense the astonishing energy hidden within him. This was a more advanced application of ki.
"All right. Release your ki first."
Popo was quite agreeable and readily accepted Turles's request.
"Huh? All of it?" Turles hesitated.
"Yes, all of it." Popo's reply was still unruffled.
"Fine!" Since Popo had asked, Turles stopped holding back.
Turles also wanted to see how high his power would reach if he released all his ki. He only knew that his battle power was at least 200,000; he had no idea of the exact figure.
Ever since learning to control his ki perfectly, he had never released it all—not since the last time he had transformed into a Great Ape and lost control.
Turles walked to the center of Kami's Lookout Plaza. After looking around, he planted his feet firmly in a horse stance, clenched his fists at his sides, and began to release his ki.
"Ah!!! Ah!!!"
Turles let go of his control over his ki, and the energy within him immediately began to surge. He couldn't help shouting aloud!
Along with Turles's roar, his ki slowly poured out, and the space around him began to warp. Gradually, a white aura appeared, swirling around his body.
At some point, Dero and Kami, Piccolo had stopped chatting and walked over to Raditz. Watching Turles, Dero couldn't help asking Raditz, "What's going on with Turles? Why did he suddenly power up?"
Raditz glanced at Dero and Kami, Piccolo beside him, then turned back to Turles and replied, "Turles hopes to get guidance from that dark-skinned gentleman, so the gentleman asked him to release his ki. That's why..."
"Popo?" Kami, Piccolo asked, puzzled, immediately turning to look at Popo.
When Popo saw Kami, Piccolo looking at him, he nodded at once.
But they soon had no time to concern themselves with that, because as Turles's ki continued to rise, it began to affect the weather around them.
"Rumble!"
The Lookout began to shake violently. Turles's fierce aura battered everything around him, and Kami, Piccolo was nearly blown away by the gale created by the outburst of his power.
"Ha!"
Turles let out one final roar, and his ki was completely unleashed. A powerful pressure spread in every direction, leaving everyone present stunned by his energy.
"How is this possible? How can he be so strong?"
Kami, Piccolo stared in disbelief at the tall figure standing in the middle of Kami's Lookout Plaza.
Kami, Piccolo could sense ki, and that was precisely why he knew how powerful Turles's ki was. He had never encountered anyone with such overwhelming energy, not even the previous Kami.
Dero and Raditz, however, quickly recovered. They had already witnessed the battle between Turles and Blue, and had some idea of Turles's battle power. Even so, seeing it again still amazed them.
At the same time, Turles's outburst sent everyone on Earth who could sense ki turning their eyes toward the Lookout.
Below the Lookout.
A white cat holding a staff looked up at the Lookout with a grave expression and murmured, "Where did this powerful fighter come from? How can he have such overwhelming ki? I wonder what the god did to provoke someone like this."
"Sigh! I hope the god can handle it!"
On an island somewhere on Earth.
A lecherous old man who had been drooling over a pretty girl on TV was so startled by Turles's ki that he fell off the couch. His face turned pale as he looked toward Korin Tower.
At Baozi Mountain.
Son Goku had been paying his respects to his grandfather when he suddenly stepped out of the house. His innocent smile had vanished, and he looked toward the Lookout with a grave expression.
"Flying Nimbus!"
After watching for a moment, Son Goku shouted up at the sky. Before long, a golden cloud appeared in his field of vision.
Son Goku leaped onto the Flying Nimbus and rode it toward the Lookout.
In a somewhat desolate mountain range.
Piccolo, a Namekian wearing a white cape with the character "Demon" embroidered on his chest, floated in midair, meditating. A boulder floated in front of him as well.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, Piccolo's eyes flew open, and the boulder dropped to the ground with a loud crash.
Piccolo ignored the boulder on the ground and looked toward the Lookout with a dark expression. A hint of hatred and fear flashed in his eyes.
At that moment, all the powerful fighters on Earth who could sense ki were shocked by Turles's energy. Piccolo, Master Roshi, and Master Shen all looked toward the Lookout, while Son Goku was already on his way there!
Turles naturally knew nothing about any of this. But even if he had, he probably wouldn't have cared. Right now, he was simply looking at Popo expectantly, hoping to receive some useful guidance.
