Son Gohan Clone vs. Piccolo

After thinking for a moment, Son Gohan exited Dr. Gero's supercomputer and retracted the micro-robots back into his system.

Since Android 19 and 20 had not yet been created, he had no way to input programs for them at this stage.

Just then, Son Gohan suddenly heard the sound of the doorknob turning.

Startled, Son Gohan immediately tucked the computer away into his system.

The door opened, and a tall, burly man walked in.

This person was none other than Son Gohan's grandfather, the Ox-King.

"Gohan, time to eat!"

"Mm, okay!"

Son Gohan nodded.

After lunch.

Son Gohan took a nap at home.

When it was nearly two o'clock, Chi-Chi knocked on the door and entered Son Gohan's room, waking him from his slumber.

"Gohan, it's two o'clock already; it's time to study!"

"Study!"

Son Gohan asked, still groggy.

"Go wash up, then start reading and doing your exercises!"

"Okay!"

Saying this, Son Gohan immediately got out of bed and ran into the bathroom.

Once inside, Son Gohan quickly shut the door, pulled out a hair he had shed today, and transformed it into a copy of himself.

"From now on, you will study in my place!"

"Mm!"

The clone nodded.

Seeing this, Son Gohan used Instant Transmission and appeared on the high peak where Piccolo was training.

Piccolo, who was in the middle of meditation, immediately opened his eyes upon sensing Son Gohan's ki.

"Gohan!"

"Uncle Piccolo!"

Son Gohan replied immediately upon hearing him.

"Gohan, didn't you go home? Why are you here?"

"My mom wants me to study, but I don't really want to, so I came here to see you!"

"I see! But won't your mother be worried if you do this?"

"It's fine, Uncle Piccolo, I left a clone at home!"

"A clone?"

As Son Gohan spoke, he immediately plucked a hair from his head and transformed it into a clone of himself.

"Look, Uncle Piccolo, this is my clone!"

Piccolo was stunned.

Son Gohan's clone was identical to him in both ki and appearance.

Unless one looked very closely, it would be truly difficult to tell them apart.

"That... Gohan... how many of these clones can you create?"

"I don't know, but a few thousand shouldn't be a problem!"

"A... a few thousand!"

"That's right!"

"Can they fight?"

"Of course they can, though they only have one-thousandth of my power!"

"One-thousandth! Can they transform into a Super Saiyan?"

"If their combat power is high enough, I think it should be possible!"

Upon hearing this, Piccolo immediately imagined the sight of thousands of Super Saiyans in his mind.

If Son Gohan truly became that strong, he feared he wouldn't even be able to compare to a single hair on Son Gohan's head.

Thinking of this, Piccolo's resolve to become stronger became even more firm.

"Then Gohan, can you have your clone spar with me?"

Son Gohan couldn't beat him, but surely he could handle a version of Son Gohan weakened by a thousand times?

Son Gohan was taken aback.

"Uncle Piccolo... you want to fight my clone?"

"That's right, is there a problem?"

Son Gohan smiled and said.

"No, no! I'm just a bit surprised, that's all!"

He certainly couldn't say that Piccolo wouldn't be able to beat his clone.

Piccolo listened, feeling half-skeptical.

"In that case, why don't you have him spar with me first?"

"Oh, sure!"

Son Gohan nodded.

Once he finished speaking, Son Gohan's clone immediately stood in front of Piccolo.

The two glanced at each other simultaneously, then quickly retreated to put some distance between them for the fight.

"Shall we begin?"

Piccolo said to Son Gohan's clone.

Son Gohan's clone nodded.

"Ha!"

Seeing this, Piccolo let out a loud shout, clenched his fists, and charged toward Son Gohan's clone.

In an instant, Piccolo reached the front of the clone, his fists striking out like the wind.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Son Gohan's clone shifted his body slightly, dodging Piccolo's attacks with ease.

"What!"

Piccolo was startled and quickly retreated.

At this moment, the clone flashed, appeared right in front of Piccolo, and delivered a powerful punch to his abdomen.

Piccolo let out a pained cry as his body flew backward, slamming into the mountain behind him.

Seeing this, Son Gohan immediately covered his face.

He had originally intended to tell his clone to hold back, but since Piccolo was right there, he couldn't say it directly.

If he had known, he would have asked the system to teach him how to use telepathy.

"Haa... haa..."

Just then, Piccolo gasped for air as he slowly climbed up from the ground.

"Ha!"

After staring at the clone for a moment, Piccolo charged toward him once again.

"Whoosh..."

Bang, bang, bang!!

Piccolo's fists struck the clone with force, but the clone blocked the blows while retreating.

Boom!!

Just as Piccolo forced the clone against a mountain, the clone suddenly vanished, and Piccolo's right fist slammed heavily into the rock face.

"Damn it!"

Piccolo growled in anger and spun around quickly.

At that moment, the clone suddenly appeared in mid-air and delivered a whirlwind kick toward Piccolo.

With a loud boom, Piccolo was kicked deep into the mountain behind him.

A massive cloud of dust and sand was kicked up from the ground.

"Whoosh..."

"Thud..."

As the clone landed, he stood calmly in front of Piccolo.

Seeing this, Son Gohan immediately flew over to his clone.

"This is Uncle Piccolo, why did you hit him so hard?"

"But... didn't you tell me to spar with him just now?"

"I told you to spar with him... but you didn't have to go that hard!"

"...But I already held back; I thought you wanted me to train him!"

"Clang..."

Just then, Piccolo climbed out from under the heavy boulder and said, "Gohan, don't tell your clone to hold back. Let him come at me with everything he's got!"

"...Alright!"

Son Gohan nodded.

At that very moment, a figure suddenly flew in from the sky; it was none other than Son Goku.

"Dad!"

As soon as the words left his lips, Son Goku descended from the sky and landed right in front of the two of them.

Son Goku glanced at Son Gohan and his clone, a look of surprise immediately appearing on his face as he said, "T-two Gohans?"

"It's not two Gohans, one of them is a clone of Gohan!" Piccolo said, crossing his arms.

"A clone?"

Piccolo nodded.

"I was wondering why I could sense three of Gohan's energy signatures!" Son Goku looked toward the original Son Gohan and asked, "You must be the real Gohan, right?"

Son Gohan nodded.

"Then is the Gohan back at the house also your clone?"
