Turles

Old Son Gohan smiled at Sun Wukong, then departed from Bulma's house alongside Fortune Teller Baba.

"Grandpa!"

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three years had passed.

During these three years, Sun Wukong used the Dragon Ball System to grant a wish, upgrading the Earth Dragon Balls to grant three wishes instead of one.

Through the Dragon Balls, he also mastered the Evil Containment Wave, Forced Spirit Fission, Fusion, Magic Extraction Wave (the technique the Grand Supreme Kai used to seal Moro), Freeze (a technique of the Supreme Kai of Time), and the ability to absorb energy.

On a plateau in the southern part of Earth.

Piccolo was currently atop a towering mountain peak, engaged in meditative training.

A figure suddenly appeared; it was none other than Sun Wukong.

"Sun Wukong!"

Sensing Sun Wukong's presence, Piccolo immediately opened his eyes.

"Long time no see, Piccolo!"

"Sun Wukong, why have you come here? Are you here to challenge me to a fight?"

"No, I've come to ask you to train with me!"

"Train together?"

Piccolo stared intently at Sun Wukong.

"Sun Wukong, what kind of scheme are you plotting?"

He did not believe for a second that Sun Wukong would be kind enough to invite him to train together.

"None at all. It's just that training alone is too dull, so I wanted to find someone to train with!"

"Hmph!"

Piccolo snorted coldly, his face full of disbelief.

"If you aren't looking to defeat me, then by training with me, won't you find out exactly how strong I am right now?"

Upon hearing this, Piccolo fell into deep thought.

"How about it, Piccolo?"

"Fine! I agree!"

Sun Wukong smiled.

Afterward, Sun Wukong brought Piccolo to his home.

Son Gomen and Son Gohan were currently playing in the yard.

Seeing the green-skinned Piccolo, they looked at him with great curiosity.

"Dad, who is he?"

"His name is Piccolo. You can call him Uncle Piccolo!"

"Uncle Piccolo!"

Hearing the two children address him this way, Piccolo felt quite uncomfortable.

If calculated by Earthling age, he was only four years older than Son Gohan and the others.

Of course, his mental maturity was far beyond his years.

"Sun Wukong, these two brats are your children?"

"That's right! One is named Son Gohan, and the other is Son Gomen!"

"Son... Son Gohan, Son Gomen... why do they both sound related to food!"

Piccolo muttered to himself in his heart.

A while later, Sun Wukong brought Piccolo to the Gravity Room.

"This is the Gravity Room, the place where I usually train!"

"Gravity Room?"

"Yes, it can adjust the gravity inside based on your training needs. Currently, it can be set up to eight hundred times!"

"Eight... eight hundred times!"

Piccolo was shocked at first, then gritted his teeth and said.

"Very well, Sun Wukong! So this is how you managed to become so strong! Just wait until I train here for a few years; when I surpass you, don't come crying to me!"

Sun Wukong smiled and said.

"If you have the ability, feel free to surpass me!"

Piccolo snorted coldly and walked over to the Gravity Room's control panel.

"How do you use this machine?"

"The first button increases gravity by ten times, the second button resets everything to zero, and the third button decreases gravity by ten times!"

"Is that so! In that case, I'll start my training at twenty times gravity!"

As Piccolo spoke, he pressed the ten-times gravity switch twice in quick succession.

The gravity inside the Gravity Room quickly increased to twenty times.

Piccolo immediately felt a surge of pressure, while Sun Wukong stood before him without changing his expression.

"You... how are you completely unaffected?"

"I usually train under five hundred times gravity. This twenty times gravity feels like nothing to me!"

"Five... five hundred times!"

Upon hearing this, Piccolo gritted his teeth tightly.

"Well then, Piccolo, you practice on your own for a while. I'm going to go teach Gohan and the others!"

After Sun Wukong finished speaking, he walked out of the Gravity Room.

"Damn it!"

As soon as Sun Wukong left, Piccolo let out a loud roar and began his training.

At noon, Sun Wukong asked Piccolo to stay for lunch.

However, when Chi-Chi and the others saw Piccolo's appearance, they were quite frightened.

Although Sun Wukong stepped in to smooth things over, Piccolo did not eat with them, choosing instead to rest on the grass in the yard.

Just as Piccolo was feeling dejected, Son Gohan brought some food over to him.

"Don't be angry, Uncle Piccolo. Mom and the others just aren't used to your appearance yet; they'll get used to it after a while!"

Piccolo looked at Son Gohan and said.

"Your name is Son Gohan, right?"

Son Gohan nodded with a smile.

In the afternoon, after Piccolo had rested, he returned to the Gravity Room to continue his training.

Sun Wukong also entered the Gravity Room and sparred with Piccolo for a while.

Of course, Sun Wukong did not use any of his actual strength.

Otherwise, even ten Piccolos wouldn't be able to withstand a single attack from Sun Wukong.

In the days that followed, Piccolo came to Sun Wukong's house every day to train.

In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.

Because the gap in strength between Piccolo and him was too great, Sun Wukong had Bulma build a separate Gravity Room for him to train in.

At first, Piccolo was only focused on training, so he didn't think anything was amiss.

But later, when Sun Wukong had Son Gohan and Son Gomen train with him as well, he gradually realized that he had been "played" by Sun Wukong.

However, in order to rapidly increase his strength, he continued to stay at Sun Wukong's house.

One day, while Son Gohan and the others were training in the yard, Piccolo suddenly sensed a "very strong" ki approaching them.

"Such strong ki, Sun Wukong, did you feel it?"

Sun Wukong nodded.

"Shall we go see what's going on?"

"Yeah!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them immediately left Bulma's house.

"Dad, we're coming too!"

Seeing this, Son Gohan and Son Gomen followed after them.

Deep within a large mountain in the southern part of Earth, a large, spherical spaceship was currently landing.

Hiss...

With a soft sound, the spaceship door opened.

A man with dark skin, a scouter over his left eye, and an appearance strikingly similar to Sun Wukong stepped out of the ship.

The man's name was Turles, and he was a Saiyan who had luckily survived.

After Turles stepped out, several humans soon emerged from behind him.

These humans were all subordinates he had recruited throughout the universe.

Boom!

Just then, a towering tree rose from the ground.

This tree had grown from the Tree of Might seed that Turles had dropped just before landing.

Once the Tree of Might seed hit the ground, it quickly absorbed the Earth's energy and grew into a massive, towering tree.

"Lord Turles, is the Saiyan Kakarot you spoke of truly on this Earth?"

A man asked.

According to his understanding of Saiyans.

Any planet where Saiyans resided would suffer their destruction; it would never be like Earth, which not only remained undamaged but was also well-protected.

"Who knows! But that guy was born with a combat power of only 2, so it wouldn't be surprising even if he were dead!"
