64 The Saiyan Saga 3

With how low the battle powers were for everyone on Earth, it was actually quite hard to sense them from so far away.

It went to show how awesome Guru was he could do it himself without any Yardrat training.

But, eventually I did lock on to one familiar power, accompanied by another power, and I was quite surprised.

Guru was not at all kidding.

Piccolo and Gohan, by my estimates, were around the strength I was when I went into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to learn to control the Oozaru form.

Between them and Goku with the Kaioken, I actually can see them cleaning up Vegeta without too much issue.

Looks like Piccolo has been abusing the zenkai with Gohan as I told him and in the process, Piccolo got stronger just from training with someone that strong.

Man, how quickly things changed and spiralled with just a little bit of extra information, huh?

I locked into Piccolo's ki quickly and a moment later, I disappeared from the Planet of Namek and appeared back on Earth, atop a large flat headed mountain.

As soon as I did, my eyes landed on two figures, both sitting cross legged and meditating, on a rock in mini Gohan's case, and floating mid-air in Piccolo's.

As soon as I appeared, Piccolo's eyes snapped open in shock, before landing on me.

"…Kakarot, I was wondering if you would ever get back," the green man snorted, lowering gentle to the ground and towering over me, arms crossed, "How did you get here without me sensing you?" he demanded first of all.

The only reason he wasn't freaking out about my huge girthy battle power was because I had suppressed it to around the same it was at before I left Earth.

It sure is hard keeping a handle on this huge girth of mine.

"A little technique I picked up out in space, let's me teleport to any power I can sense." I casually explained.

The commotion of us talking, broke Gohan out of his meditation, and the kid blinked his eyes open and stared at me in confusion, before his eyes widened and tears began to to bud in the corner of them, "D-daddy?" he sniffled.

I winced, "Not quite kid," I replied, "I'm Kakarot."

"…Oh…" he slumped in disappointment. Looks like Piccolo has explained who I am at least.

"Don't worry kid, your dad will be back soon, in fact, in the next few days I'm betting." I assured him, and it was a testament to how resilient Gohan was that he perked right back up.

"Really!?" he beamed, losing his sadness in an instant, "Thanks for letting me know Mr. Kakarot!"

"…You can just call me uncle, Gohan, I more or less pass for the twin of your dad at this rate." I found myself replying without any input from my brain.

Damn you mouth! This is treason!

"I've not really had a good track record with uncles…" he pointed out with a little smile, "But okay Uncle Kakarot!"

Before I could reply, there was a snort from Piccolo, "Yeah yeah, mushy crap and all that," he huffed, before glaring at me, "By the looks of it, your power hasn't increased at all, what have you been doing these past eight months?"

I laughed, "Oh trust me Piccolo, I've done more than you can imagine," I grinned broadly at him, "I'm just keeping my power suppressed right now because of how terrified you'd be if you felt how massive my power is right now."

"I doubt it," Piccolo snorted, "I heard all about that Frieza freak from Kami, that triclops wasn't very tight lipped around that old fossil, and while I've never felt his power, I at least have a rough basis of how much he outclasses us."

Basically, what he was saying was he'd come to terms with how strong Frieza was and was saying unless I surpassed that, he wouldn't be impressed.

Ah Piccolo, always the harsh taskmaster. Now, if only you kept that up in the normal timeline after Cell, Gohan wouldn't have become a disappointment.

It was funny how little had actually changed between this guy and his future counterpart.

"Oh trust me Piccolo, even in my base form here, I've far surpassed Frieza, I could kill him with both arms tied behind my back," my smirk got even larger, "But don't worry, I come baring gifts. You'll find that Frieza isn't much to worry about these days and in a few hours you would be able to take care of him yourself."

Piccolo's bald brows furrowed, "A bold claim for a mere six months, and that's on top of you being able to get ten times stronger in that giant ape form like Gohan." he mused.

Wait, what?

My eyes snapped back to Gohan, and my eyes widened. There, wrapped around his waist, was a furry brown belt, or rather, a tail. Piccolo hadn't gotten rid of his tail this time?

And he knew how much stronger Gohan got and talked about it casually…

"…You managed to teach him to control it?" I gaped at him.

"Hmph, as if I would allow any student of mine to be so weak minded they couldn't control such a boon," Piccolo snorted, "Now putting aside that plebian matter, tell me Kakarot, what are these gifts you speak of?"

"Something I picked up on Namek," I shook my head and replied, getting back on top. I held up my hand, a portal rippling into existence and dropping a familiar orange spiky fruit into my hands, "This is a fruit from the Tree of Might, suffice to say, I have many of them, and just eating one will increase your power by just around the amount you currently have."

Despite the shocking revelation I just dropped on him, Piccolo was utterly silent.

…."That's absurd, there's no way something that miraculous exists." Piccolo rolled his eyes and shook his head.

Instead of trying to convince him, I rolled my eyes and looked to Gohan, "Here kid, have a snack." I said, tossing it to him.

The kid caught it easily and looked to Piccolo who just nodded, "Erm, thanks uncle Kakarot." he bowed his head politely to me, and then took a bit out of the fruit.

And promptly, had his eyes widen, alongside Piccolo's as his power skyrocketed, more than doubling in amount.

My scouter displayed the number it settled on a few moments later.

37,564

"…Unreal!" Piccolo gasped in shock and awe, while Gohan just gaped at himself, clenching and unclenching his fists.

"Mr. Piccolo…I feel so strong!" Gohan gasped.

"…Of course you do, you just got more than twice as strong as you were before!" Piccolo snapped at the boy in his shock.

It took a good few moments for the both of them to calm down, and I could see the flush in Piccolo's green cheeks, "…..So, gifts huh?" he coughed, "And I assume you brought some for everyone?" he asked.
