Piccolo's Potential

Piccolo's potential is genuinely terrifying. Otherwise, in the original Saiyan Invasion saga, he wouldn't have ended up on King Kai's planet after his death, quickly gaining tens of thousands in power level strength through his training.

It is known that when he was revived and arrived on Namek, he encountered a nearly dying Nail.

Nail remarked, "How you've trained to become so powerful is unbelievable."

Then, after receiving Nail's approval and undergoing fusion, his strength increased more than tenfold, reaching and surpassing the one million power level mark! Therefore, Lin Chuan felt that adapting to sixty times gravity over six days and reaching only 45,000 points in power level was low.

Especially since Lin Chuan had assisted and given intentional or unintentional guidance.

It can only be said that they were under too little pressure and experienced too few hardships.

Some breakthroughs may require special methods, like truly experiencing a life-and-death situation...

Now, talking about Gohan, although his strength has continuously improved, it has only reached 32,000 points, which is relatively low.

Initially, Lin Chuan thought that Gohan could at least reach over 50,000 in power level through gravity training, plus the Saiyan's bug-like talents.

However, not only did he not reach 50,000 points, he didn't even make it to 40,000 points, just barely over 30,000.

Of course, this also has to do with his less training time.

Lin Chuan and Piccolo were constantly training without interruption, with no one to restrain them.

But Gohan is different. First, he is still a child; second, because Chi-Chi has been watching him, she doesn't allow him to continue training past a certain time.

Regarding this, neither Lin Chuan nor Piccolo could say anything. Could they possibly force the issue? After all, she is his mother and isn't stopping her son from training, just ensuring that he balances work and rest.

Setting that aside, with the current strength that Piccolo and Gohan possess, they could easily defeat Nappa and Vegeta, who will arrive on Earth in ten months.

Not to mention Vegeta, they could even instantly defeat Dodoria and Zarbon, Frieza's top aides.

They could face anyone from the Ginyu Force head-on without defeat, except for Ginyu.

Times are advancing, and indeed, they are different from the past.

For Piccolo and Gohan, being under Lin Chuan's influence has propelled them into a more advanced era of strength.

...

Having determined the direction of the energy, Piccolo turned around and looked toward the source of the energy.

Gohan, Chi-Chi, and Bulma also turned to look in the same direction, following his gaze.

In the distant sky, a figure rapidly grew larger, eventually revealing the robust form of a Namekian warrior.

This person has highly advanced energy control and remarkable perception skills.

Realizing he had been detected, he stopped hiding and approached quickly, finally landing in front of the five individuals.

Apart from slight differences in size and appearance, he looked almost identical to Piccolo!

After sensing the energy radiating from this Namekian warrior up close, it was clear that his strength was even more formidable than Raditz's when he first arrived on Earth.

Lin Chuan could see the power level data in his eyes, which was as high as 3,000 points.

That was slightly more powerful than Piccolo before their departure.

Of course, their real combat strength was incomparable.

Gohan exclaimed in surprise, "He is a Namekian, just like Uncle Piccolo."

Bulma joked, "If this had happened before, it would have scared someone to death... Another King Piccolo."

Their voices made the newcomer frown.

However, his initial focus remained on Piccolo.

"Foreigners and a fellow clan member I've never seen before... where are you from?" he asked Piccolo. Although his hostility wasn't as intense, he remained wary of everyone.

"Don't worry, we are not invaders!" Seeing the strong fellow clansman before him, Piccolo stepped forward and said.

His cape fluttered in the wind, adding to his imposing appearance.

With a deliberate show of his energy, saying he wasn't trying to impress would be hard to believe.

Sensing the energy emanating from Piccolo, the Namekian was shocked and incredulous, "Could it be that you are one of the children sent away from the planet during the great disaster many years ago? Whose child are you to have such formidable power? No! That's not right, even if you were sent away then, your age..."

After sensing Piccolo's strength, the Namekian was utterly baffled.

He made a guess, but it seemed far-fetched.

Because so many years have passed since that great catastrophe, even those sent away from the planet should be old by now.

Where would they know what Piccolo has been through?

"This matter is a long story... In short, we come from Earth, and I was also raised on Earth..." Piccolo responded.

His amiable exchange was unexpected to Lin Chuan and the others.

Although Piccolo changed, and their relationship became more harmonious over these six days, Piccolo was still Piccolo; his aloofness remained.

"Is that so? Regardless, as a fellow clansman, welcome home."

"And my name is Nail."

The Namekian introduced himself.

"Piccolo." Piccolo also stated his name.

After a few exchanges, their vigilance was completely relaxed.

Nail was the first to ask, "Are they all Earthlings? Did they bring you back?"

"Sort of." Piccolo's expression remained largely unchanged.

"I see. Since they are your friends, I'm fully reassured. As long as they are not enemies, they are guests of the Namekians." Nail reverted to his straightforward, burly demeanor.

It seemed as if the serious and stern person from before had never existed.

This showed that Namekians become very friendly once they know there is no threat.

This was also related to the many years of governance by the Grand Elder.

Almost all Namekians were his creations.

They adhere to the principle of not provoking others unless provoked and, if necessary, trying to resolve issues peacefully before resorting to force.

"Hello, I am Gohan."

"Chi-Chi, this child's mother."

"You can call me Bulma, Earth's super-genius scientist."

"Lin Chuan."

...

After a series of introductions.

Nail cordially invited everyone to visit his village for rest.

He also explained the current situation on Namek and the distribution of the tribes.

Just as they were about to move, Lin Chuan sensed a strong energy rapidly approaching.

"Someone else is coming."

It was certain that the owner of this energy, at full strength, could compare to Piccolo.

On Namek, the only person Lin Chuan could think of with a power level over 40,000, apart from Nail, was no one else.

As he expected, the person who arrived was indeed Nail.
