When the light exploded in the distance, the aura Cooler had released had not even fully faded.
Piccolo, who had been forcing his way closer against that pressure, suddenly stopped.
He looked at the Kamehameha wave slowly vanishing in the distance, his eyes filled with confusion, because although it had only been an instant, far too much seemed to have happened.
Cooler, who had just erupted with a powerful aura, was gone in the blink of an eye.
And Gohan, whom he had been worried about, was still floating in the air. Only his appearance had changed drastically. He was neither in his original state nor in the form of a Super Saiyan, but had instead become an entirely new warrior covered in red fur!
His figure was clearly stronger and more powerful than before.
His longer black hair was also slightly disheveled from firing the Kamehameha wave earlier.
But it made Son Gohan at this moment look even more imposing.
"What... is this now?"
The instant Piccolo saw Son Gohan in that state, he felt as if his breathing was about to stop, because it was completely different from the Gohan he knew. Even he felt an immense pressure!
There was clearly no wild aura radiating from his body like Cooler's had before.
And yet the sense of oppression seemed to fill the surrounding space at all times.
At that moment.
Son Gohan also noticed Piccolo's arrival. He slowly withdrew from the Kamehameha stance, and in an instant, his figure returned to its original appearance.
That immense pressure vanished in a flash.
"Uncle Piccolo, that guy really was strong. He even ruined my clothes!"
Son Gohan used Instant Transmission to move to Piccolo's side and said with a smile, "Could you give me another set of clothes like that?"
