"Piccolo's a kid"
What the is what everyone thought when they were made to look there own age by the androids. Everyone looked the same except for piccolo, he was about 16 years old, seance he was the only one affected he was unconscious. Then Tein spoke up.
"What happened" he asked
"That technique is used to show a persons true age, this is a surprise" said Krillin
"He's a teen, no way. Piccolo is supposed to be a adult" said Gohan
"Lets bring him to Denda he knows more about namiks than any of us" exclaimed Vegeta gruffly hoping to find answers to what he doesn't understand.
goku used his instant transmission, when Denda saw them he asked what happened they told him the story and then Denda answered.
" A nemekians parent can choose characteristics of their kids, including how fast they grow. On my planet it's frowned upon but not unheard of, you said he had his dads memories, that must be why he has the maturity to go with his body. It's sad that he never had a childhood though, it usually takes 18 years for a mechanic to grow up kind of like humans."
"That makes seance" said Goku "He was born seconds before his dad died 16 years ago. No wonder why he was an adult when I first faced him in the world marital arts tournament. I can't believe I didn't notice till now" he exclaimed
"He always seemed so tough and he's still a child, no wonder he's so rough he didn't have any good influences growing up. Nobody to call a parent. Said Tein
"He's going to be scared and act his age when he wakes up, he will remember how to fight but he won't have his previous ambitions thanks to merging with Nail and Comie. He will have to grow up naturally this time you can get him to open up, he can be a better person, if you help him."
"we will" they all said at the same time.
