~Battle for the Future~
During those moments prior to the beginning of the fight in the final round, memories of the past rushed in Goku's mind as he remembered the time he spent with Lucia a night before they departed to Papaya Island. It was 11:00 PM before midnight and Goku and Lucia were sitting next to each other on the beach where Goku is usually training, gazing towards the horizon to the sea, where only the light of the full moon reflected on the sea below, creating a beautiful and romantic scenery which Lucia cherished every moment of it.
"It's so beautiful, isn't it Goku?" Lucia smiled blissfully as she leaned her head on Goku's shoulder.
"Yeah, definitely." Goku smiled as he looked towards the moon. "You know, it's kinda funny that every time I look at the full moon, I always seem to black out for some reason."
"Really? How so?" Lucia said as she lifted her head up and looked at Goku innocently.
"I have no idea, but it usually happens when I have a tail." Goku said casually.
"What?! You had a tail?!" Lucia exclaimed as her eyes went wide in surprise, having no idea that Goku had a tail to begin with.
"Yeah, of course. But since the moon was destroyed six years ago, Kami told me that it could be restored if I lost my tail. So that's what I decided to do." Goku smiled casually at Lucia before he looked at the moon. "It's really strange, but even since I lost my tail, I can now look at the full moon without a problem."
"I had no idea. That would have explained why we didn't see an ounce of moonlight for three years back then." Lucia said as she looked up before she glanced at Goku again, completely baffled at how someone can destroy a moon, which was no simple feat whatsoever. But since Goku didn't want to go into morbid details, like when a giant monster crushed his own grandfather during the full moon when he blacked out, he decided to change the subject. It was a really painful memory to even think about, though he never said it to anyone.
"So, you said you have something to tell me in private. What is it?" Goku looked at her innocently. Lucia looked at Goku blankly before she frowned sadly, looking down on the sand, much to Goku's curiosity. She didn't want to talk about it so soon, she wanted to enjoy herself in Goku's company as long as possible, but that was no longer an option.
"What's wrong Lucia?" Goku asked curiously.
"To tell you the truth, there was nothing to say specifically. I just wanted for us to spend time together before the tournament. Before you fight Piccolo in the finals." Lucia said in slightly sad tone.
"So that's been bothering you. My fight with Piccolo." Goku said while Lucia nodded silently in confirmation. "There is nothing to worry about Lucia, you know that I'm going to do my best and win." He smiled brightly, trying to cheer her up, but it was far from it for Lucia.
"But what if you can't win?!" Lucia suddenly shouted sadly, much to Goku's surprise. "What if he is stronger than you and that a fight with him will be too much for you to handle?!"
"But Lucia, you said yourself that you believe in me that I was going to win against him." Goku said innocently.
"That was before I saw you being brutally pulverized by Gaito!" Lucia shouted as tears started to form in her eyes. Unable to shout any longer, she looked down on the sand again. "When I saw you all bloodied and beaten back there, my heart shattered in million pieces. Even the thought of losing you for good was too much for me to handle. For someone so sweet and kind, yet someone so brave to be killed by that monster, I just… "She said in sad, cracked voice as she started to sniff and hiccup a bit.
"Lucia please, don't be so hard on yourself." Goku said gently as he placed his hand on her shoulder. "I understand how you feel, but if I don't fight Piccolo in the tournament, then he will kill everyone on the planet."
"You think I don't know that?!" Lucia suddenly shouted sadly again, startling Goku as he flinched a bit in fear. "You think I don't know what will happen if you fight him?! I saw what Gaito did to you, he didn't show you a shred of mercy, he was going to tear you apart!" She shouted sadly as tears flowed from her eyes while pounding her arms on his rough chest, but she quickly gave in and buried her face on his chest.
"Hey, it's okay. Please, calm down." Goku said in soothing voice as he wrapped his arms around Lucia and hugged her, rubbing her back and the back of her head so her sniffs and sobs would subside. Then after she calmed down a bit, he placed his hands on her shoulders and looked at her eyes with soothing gaze.
"Listen, I understand that you are worried sick about me and I appreciate it. But this wouldn't be the first time I fight with someone so dangerous, I had a lot of those kind of fights in the past, even in the World Martial Arts Tournaments." Goku smiled as he then looked towards the moonlit sea. "And honestly, every time I fought a very strong opponent, it simply excited me to no end and I always found ways to push my limits to greater heights, like I did with Gaito." He then looked at Lucia. "Well, with your help, that is. The point is that if I turned my nose from the bad guys, it wouldn't have stopped them from hurting innocent people." He then smirked confidently as he pumped his right fist. "Besides, I promised myself that I will use every ounce of energy to protect you. I am not going to let anyone, especially Piccolo, lay a hand on you."
Lucia looked at him with innocent expression before she closed her eyes and smiled gently.
"I'm sorry I yelled at you Goku." Lucia smiled as she wiped the tears from her eyes and looked at Goku again. "Like you said, I was just worried sick, that's all."
"Don't worry, I understand." Goku smiled.
"I guess you are just too adorable for me to let you go like that." Lucia smiled cutely, making Goku snicker childishly with a wide, toothy grin.
"But…" She said, making Goku look at her innocently. "Even though I know I can't stop you for having a good fight, I want you to promise me one thing." She frowned sadly again.
"Sure." Goku said.
"Promise me that you will make it out of that battle alive." Lucia frowned sadly before she smiled gently, averting her gaze and blushed a bit in embarrassment. "So we can do this again. I really love being with you, just the two of us beneath the moonlight."
Goku looked at her innocently before he too smiled and placed her hand on Lucia's right shoulder, pulling her closer to him and making her blush further.
"I promise Lucia." Goku nodded with a smile. Lucia smiled lovingly again as she scooted next to him and leaned her head on his shoulder again, with Goku leaning his head on hers as he smiled too before both of them gazed at a full moon above.
"Don't worry Lucia. That is a promise that I intend to keep." Goku thought in determination as the flashbacks ceased, with the spiky-haired warrior looking at Piccolo sternly as the drums started to pound at a slow pace before they sped up faster and faster overtime.
"We're with you Goku!" Bulma cheered.
"Pummel him, yeah!" Launch said as she was punching Oolong on his head, much like Bulma tends to do.
"Good luck Goku!" Hanon cheered. Gaito, Sara and Rina frowned seriously as they were silently waiting for the match to begin, while Karen, Noel and Coco also cheered Goku on. And lastly, Lucia frowned worryingly as she cupped her hands in silent prayer.
"Be careful Goku." Lucia thought.
"Ready?! On my mark, get set, begin!" The announcer said as the gong was struck.
"HAAAAAAAAAA!" Goku and Piccolo shouted as they charged at each other, with their right elbows and left knees colliding, starting a momentary struggle. Then they slightly dashed back and both started to throw flurry of punches and kicks, with the two fighters blocking every single one for the moment. Then their right fists clashed, followed by Goku threw left hook which Piccolo dodged and threw left roundhouse kick, which Goku blocked. Then Piccolo immediately threw right elbow strike right on Goku's face, sending him flying back, but Goku immediately flipped backwards and charged at Piccolo. The green-skinned warrior was caught in slight surprise as Goku threw a flurry of furious punches and kicks, with Piccolo barely blocking every single one.
"Wow, Goku is on the roll as he immediately went on the offensive, which is definitely giving Junior a run for his money as he is barely keeping up with Goku's speed!" The announcer said.
A moment or two later, Goku disappeared and reappeared behind Piccolo, about to throw a left punch, but Piccolo caught his fist. Goku and Piccolo grunted and gritted their teeth as they came to a momentary struggle before Goku threw a right kick in the ribs, followed by left uppercut and right punch to the face, sending Piccolo flying. But in mid-air, he extended his left hand and grabbed Goku's face, immediately swinging him overhead like a whip and slamming him into the ground, leaving a small crater in the ring. Then he swung Goku again as he slammed him in front of him and immediately retracted his arm, followed by crushing right punch in the gut, making Goku gag in pain while Lucia, Hanon and Rina gasped slightly in shock and worry by the painful punch Goku received. Piccolo continued to deliver several more punches to the gut before he swung his hand backwards and threw Goku, soon after followed by an energy attack from his right hand. The blast made contact and delivered a small explosion that evaporated an entire section of the wall leading to the competitor's hall. But as the smoke cleared, Goku used the Afterimage Technique by leaving a blurry illusion of himself. Soon after, Piccolo was caught off guard as Goku delivered a powerful right knee attack to the gut, making Piccolo gag loudly from pain. Goku then delivered a left elbow strike behind Piccolo's neck before he threw a right reverse roundhouse kick on Piccolo's back. Goku didn't stop there as he charged at his opponent, but Piccolo rebounded and attacked Goku, with the two fighters delivering simultaneous punches on each other's faces, sending them flying backwards. The two fighters took the blows with only a few scratches on their faces as they flipped backwards a few times and landed on the ring, standing upright and locking their stern gazes on each other before the crowd cheered loudly after a few moments of silence.
"What an explosive start of the final round! After the two contestants delivered crushing blows that would surely send an ordinary man to the hospital for good, Goku and Junior are back into the fight without tiring out whatsoever!" The announcer said.
"Piccolo sure is amazing, all those blows and he is barely even breathing hard. I know I have to win this, but I can't help but be excited in front of the challenge." Goku smirked in thought while taking his fighting stance.
"It sickens me to admit it, but it looks like his fighting skills have tremendously improved. Looks like he isn't the slacker that I thought he was after our last battle. But it doesn't matter, I'm still going to break him." Piccolo thought as he smirked cockily while also taking his fighting stance.
"It looks like they are evenly matched." Tien said.
"So far. Remember that the fight has only just begun. Who knows how powerful those two really are." Master Roshi said seriously.
"But Master Roshi, even though Piccolo is strong, Goku is stronger, right?" Krillin said in slight worry.
"I honestly can't say, at least not yet." Master Roshi said.
"Get ready folks, for it seems round two is about to commence!" The announcer said.
Piccolo dashed towards Goku and threw a left jab, but Goku jumped above him and was about to deliver a right roundhouse kick in mid-air, but Piccolo grabbed his leg on time and smashed him on the ground. He then threw a right punch, but Goku immediately tilted his head to the left, dodging the punch that drilled through the ground. While he was still down, Goku kicked Piccolo with both of his feet, launching him high in the air before he immediately got up and dashed to the other side of the ring. Piccolo soon after recovered and extended his hands, firing a volley of energy blasts straight at Goku.
"Kamehame… HAAAAAA!" Goku fired a quick Kamehameha Wave that plowed through the volley of energy blasts straight towards Piccolo. Soon enough, Goku found out that Piccolo also used the Afterimage Technique and reappeared behind Goku, about to deliver a double axe handle attack, but Goku barely managed to block it. Then he tilted his attack and threw a left roundhouse kick, but Piccolo ducked and threw a right uppercut, followed by left punch to the face that sent Goku flying again. Piccolo did not stop as he charged at Goku, but Goku soon after recovered and caught his fist. Piccolo threw his left fist as well, but Goku caught it too, forcing Goku to grind his feet through the ground to stop himself, putting the two fighters in a contest of strength.
"Wow, this fight is intense." Hanon said in amazement and awe.
"You can say that again." Rina frowned slightly, in similar state like Hanon. Lucia remained silent and looked at Goku in worry that he will be alright at the end of the fight.
Back to the ring, Goku and Piccolo gritted their teeth as they were slowly starting to increase their energy to boost their strength, but it again ended in a stalemate as they are starting to break through the ring. Soon enough, both of them started to form an aura of energy around them, with Goku's being red and Piccolo's being blue.
Goku then pulled Piccolo towards him and was about to kick him with both of his feet, but Piccolo quickly picked up on his plan and flipped backwards, using his arm to nudge backwards and land on his feet. Goku then dashed towards Piccolo and threw a right punch, but Piccolo grabbed his arm over his shoulder and slammed him into the ground, before he delivered a powerful blow to the gut, making Goku gag loudly in pain. Piccolo grinned wickedly before he threw another punch, which this time Goku blocked with both of his arms while smirking confidently. Piccolo growled angrily as he threw a punch that drilled through the ring, but Goku rolled sideways and stood up some distance from his opponent. Piccolo immediately charged at Goku, throwing a flurry of punches and kicks before he kneed him in the stomach and then kicked him in the face, sending him flying into the air. He then dashed upward at fast speed, flying above Goku and descended fast, delivering a hard double axe handle on the back, sending Goku crashing into the ground, creating a big hole where Goku fell down.
"Goku!" Lucia gasped loudly in worry while Piccolo grinned wickedly again as he descended back to the ring. Everyone looked at the hole where Goku fell in shock, but after a while, rocks in the hole started to move before Goku jumped through the rubble high in the air.
"Look, he made it!" Hanon exclaimed cheerfully.
"Phew! I was so worried." Lucia sighed in relief while placing her hand on her chest.
"It's gonna take more than a little fall to stop him." Launch smirked to Lucia with folded arms before she looked back at Goku.
Goku flipped forward a few times and landed gracefully back to the ring.
"Hi, you missed me?" Goku said cheerfully with a toothy grin, much to Piccolo's frustration as he groaned slightly in annoyance. But in the end he regained that cocky smirk on his face while the crowd cheered loudly as the fighters were giving one hell of a show.
"So, you're still alive?" Piccolo smirked as he folded his arms arrogantly.
"You are not going to get rid of me that easily, though I have to admit, that last attack made me a little sore." Goku smiled as he cracked his neck left and right.
"Now what do you say we fight for real? That was a good enough warm up." Piccolo said arrogantly.
"Yeah, bring it on. Let's stop fooling around and show me your true power." Goku smirked confidently.
"Be careful what you wish for, it may destroy you." Piccolo said arrogantly as he lifted his shoulderpadded cloak and threw it behind him with a heavy thud that drilled through the ground a bit out of bounds.
"Whoah. I had no idea you were wearing weighted clothes too." Goku looked at Piccolo innocently.
"What, thought you were the only one?" Piccolo smirked as he removed the turbine next, also throwing it behind him before he rubbed his neck and shoulders. "Oh yeah, I feel much lighter now."
"I that case, I have no choice but to do it as well." Goku smirked confidently as he started to take off his shirt.
"The heat is beginning to take its toll on the fighters! For Goku and Junior both, as Junior removed his cloak and turban and with Goku removing some of his uniform as well! An unusual solution from both of the fighters, but then these two titans aren't your everyday warriors! The speed with which they hurl themselves around the ring is nothing short of outrageous, one can hardly hope to catch but a glimpse of the action short of slowing down time itself. At this point, it's anyone's guess as to which one will go the distance!" The announcer said.
"Wait a minute, what is going on here?" Yamcha said in slight surprise.
"I have no idea. Piccolo threw that cape as if he had a ton of steel in it." Krillin said, perplexed that he moved around with all that weight this entire time. Goku had a little difficulty removing the undershirt, but he eventually did. The crowd had no idea what they were doing, but with fight as intense as this one, it was no surprise as they thought they were finally going all out. They weren't far from the truth.
Lucia, Hanon and Rina couldn't help but blush at Goku's physique, along with Karen, Noel and Coco. True, Tien was also incredibly buffed and ripped, but Coco couldn't help but blush at Goku's physique since he too looked as if he was made out of marble.
"Hey, Goku!" Tien suddenly said, going towards Goku as he was pretty much left in the dark at what was going on. "Can I have a look at your shirt?"
"What? Sure." Goku nodded innocently as he put on his orange shirt. Tien went to pick up the black undershirt, but to his surprise, it didn't even budge.
"Wha… what is this?!" Tien said, now struggling a bit as he lifted his shirt with moderate difficulty. "Goku, this thing weighs a ton! Have you been wearing it for the entire tournament?!" Tien asked in outraged voice.
"Yup, Kami told me to, it was part of my training." Goku smiled as he removed his wristbands next, who fell down in similar heavy thud before he sat down. "It's not much different from Master Roshi's style, he wore a heavy turtle shell to gain strength. It's pretty much the same principle here." Goku smiled as he removed his boots.
"Your wristbands as well? And your boots?" Tien said in baffled tone as he took heavy wristbands and even heavier boots in his hands.
"Uhh, Tien Shinhan, could you please exit the ring? This is a tournament." The announcer asked politely. Goku and Tien looked at the announcer before Krillin and Yamcha also went into the ring.
"Hey, what are you guys doing?" Krillin asked as he went towards them. "Don't worry about this stuff, we'll take care of it."
"Thanks Krillin, I appreciate it." Goku smiled.
"Come on Tien, let's go. Goku has a fight to win." Yamcha said as he took the black undershirt from Tien. Much to his surprise, it was a lot heavier than he thought.
"Hey, what the… what is this?" Krillin said as he lifted Goku's boots, just as shocked as Yamcha.
"Man, this thing is really heavy, this is unlike any shirt I've ever seen before." Yamcha said as he could moderately hold the weight on his arms, while Goku couldn't help but laugh childishly.
"I don't know how you can even walk in these led boots, let alone fight." Krillin said as he put on Goku's boots and he could barely even move his legs, let alone walk properly.
"It wasn't easy at all, each of those boots weigh about fifty kilos. My feet have never felt so sore." Goku smiled, which shocked Tien, Yamcha and Krillin even more.
"I don't believe this guy. He'll do anything to get stronger." Tien thought.
"I can barely even move, good thing there is no water around." Krillin said as he made two steps only with Goku's boots on. Tien then placed Goku's wristbands on Yamcha's shirt, making it slightly heavier.
"Man, I say I carry about two hundred kilos." Yamcha said.
"Are you kidding?! Two hundred kilos?!" Krillin shouted out in shock.
"You can't be serious!" Gaito suddenly shouted out in outrage. The mermaid princesses were equally shocked, baffled at the amount of weight Goku wore on himself this whole time.
"T… two h-hundred… kilos?" Lucia said as her voice trembled in shock. This whole time he carried that much weight? Then again, that would explain why he never wanted to give her his black undershirts, it would basically crush her body if he was insane enough to give it to her, but fortunately he wasn't. At least not entirely.
"This guy is not normal, it's like tying up a tank on the top of your head as a summer hat." Karen said, about as equally baffled as the rest of Goku's friends.
"That would explain his dramatic increase in power and speed when we fought back then." Gaito thought as he growled slightly while folding his arms again.
"Well, if you count the boots, that's three hundred kilos. It's only recently that I increased the weight, so I can…" Goku said before suddenly, Piccolo fired a yellow blast of energy at them. Goku and his friends barely had enough time to see the attack coming and dash sideways to avoid the attack.
"Hey! What's your problem?!" Goku exclaimed angrily.
"Either leave the ring now or I'll kill you all where you stand! No more stalling!" Piccolo exclaimed angrily.
"Alright alright, you made your point." Goku said seriously before he looked at his friends. "Tien, Yamcha, Krillin, you better leave the ring, this fight is far from over."
"Right." Krillin, Yamcha and Tien nodded before they left the ring. Goku then stood up and locked his stern gaze at Piccolo's, who smirked arrogantly in turn. But soon enough, whispers started to spread among the crowd. Due to Piccolo's enhanced hearing, he knew that the crowd whispered about him and his striking resemblance to King Piccolo. It aggravated him to no end that they were so brainless to the truth before them.
"Uh oh, looks like the crowd is starting to realize." Tien frowned seriously.
"This could turn ugly real fast." Yamcha said.
"That looks like King Piccolo." One of the frightened spectators said.
"It' can't be true." The other spectator said.
"SILENCE, YOU WORMS!" Piccolo suddenly snapped, shouting out in fury. "I AM KING PICCOLO REINCARNATED!"
It was by that loud and furious statement that seeped fear and terror into the hearts of all the spectators, the information quickly spreading like a plague. Junior finally relinquished his fake alias and officially revealed his true self to the audience.
"Let it be known throughout the world! Once I've disposed of Goku, I will be your king once again!" Piccolo declared as he turned to the crowd. "Not only has King Piccolo been reborn, but his reign of terror as well!" Piccolo said as he started to laugh out loud like a maniac, which was only louder as he found sadistic pleasure in the people's reaction to the news, their faces filled with indescribable horror. It didn't take long for the crowd to quickly disperse, which Oolong sneakily tried to do the same.
"Hey! Where do you think you're going, pig?" Launch said as he grabbed his shirt. Oolong tried to squirm out of her grip, but it was useless against someone like her. As for the mermaid princesses, they couldn't help but have a surge of fear coursing in their hearts as Piccolo continued to laugh sadistically. They didn't know that an ancient horror like him could have such an effect on people.
The entire island heard the news of King Piccolo's return, so the citizens didn't waste a second as they all started to evacuate the island to avoid Piccolo's murderous wrath. As for the tournament itself, it wasn't much of a tournament now as it quickly got deserted, with the exception of Goku's friends and the announcer. After that little satisfaction, Piccolo smirked as he returned his attention to Goku, who didn't even flinch from the terror before him.
"Attention ladies and gentlemen, if you can hear my voice, it's true, the fighter known as Junior is in fact King Piccolo!" The announcer said with his microphone, hiding behind a wall next to the mermaid princesses before Karen approached the announcer and smacked him in the head.
"We are the only ones here, in case you haven't noticed!" Karen shouted angrily.
"Well, no use in staying here, let's meet up with Yamcha and the others." Bulma said.
"Right." Hanon and Rina said as they followed Bulma, along with the others who spectated the fight with them, leaving the announcer all alone. Realizing that, he sprinted and caught up with them out of fear.
"Now, where were we? Oh yes, I was going to go all out and kill you." Piccolo grinned wickedly as he clenched his fists.
"We'll see about that." Goku said as he too clenched his fists, slowly building up his energy and increasing his power. No one dared to utter a word as silence now permeated the ring, with the two fighters not averting their stern gazes from one another. The storm clouds started to form in the sky around the entire island and beyond by the combined power that radiated from their bodies, with occasional lightning and winds forming around them. Soon enough, a dome of energy formed around them, with Goku's being red and Piccolo's being blue, gritting their teeth as they continued to increase their energy and soon after, the ground beneath their feet started to shake in an earthquake, spreading around them as neither of the two fighters gave an inch.
"Whoah, their energies are off the charts!" Krillin exclaimed.
"Yeah, no kidding, both of them are on fire!" Yamcha frowned seriously. But due to the magnitude of their power, the competitor's hall started to crumble until it collapsed in and on itself.
"Look out!" Rina exclaimed as everyone in the group avoided the debris that crumbled from the building. As they continued to increase their powers, the walls around the tournament grounds also started to collapse into rubble, until the earthquake spread across the entire island where the citizens panicked as they could feel the intensity of the earthquake while they were boarding the cruise ships. However, even though the earthquake wasn't that strong, it still made all of the windows on the buildings shatter and small, wooden houses crumble in the distance far away from the tournament grounds. Back to the ring, the energy now became so massive that electricity started to form between the two fighters. Then they grunted loudly as they were nearing their full power.
"What an amazing amount of power!" Tien exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, it's unfathomable." Master Roshi said, about as baffled as everyone else.
"HAAAAAAAA!" Goku and Piccolo shouted as they charged at each other and their domes of energy clashed, with sparks of lightning forming due to collision. The two fighters shouted as they now clashed their elbows, with blinding light following soon after. After the light died down, the two fighters were still in the same position when their elbows clashed. Then with blinding speed they started to throw a flurry of punches and kicks. Piccolo then punched Goku in the gut, but Goku immediately retaliated with a punch to the face before they resumed with their ruthless attacks. Then after a while, they grabbed each other's arms, again ending up at who will overpower their opponent. But as the two fighters locked their gazes, Goku noticed that Piccolo's eyes started to glow red. He quickly picked up on his intention as he ducked and avoided Piccolo's eye beam attack, immediately retaliating by kicking him with both of his feet. Piccolo did not loosen his grip however as he extended him arms and smacked Goku a few times on the ground. Goku thought quickly as he used his feet to free himself and flip backwards on Piccolo's arms, kneeing him in the face before jumping down and kicking Piccolo in the ribs. Then he disappeared and reappeared in front of Piccolo, charging up his one handed Kamehameha Wave and fired it straight at Piccolo. Goku was caught by surprise as Piccolo yet again used the Afterimage Technique. This time he didn't had time to defend himself as Piccolo punched Goku in the face hard, sending him skidding to the edge of the ring and almost out of bounds. When he recovered a bit, Goku gritted his teeth as he rubbed his face for pain to subside.
"Goku, look out!" Lucia shouted in worry. Goku then regained his focus as Piccolo was about to deliver a double axe handle, but using his speed, Goku disappeared in a blur, with Piccolo's attack only smashing through a section of the ring. Piccolo immediately stood up, but to his surprise, Goku was nowhere to be seen.
"Amazing. Goku completely vanished without a trace." Tien said as he frowned seriously.
"Piccolo won't stand a chance if he keeps him guessing." Master Roshi said.
"I wouldn't count on it." Gaito said seriously with folded arms, drawing the attention of Master Roshi, Krillin, Yamcha and Tien.
All of Piccolo's senses were on alert as he tried to find Goku. Soon enough, he guessed right as he elbowed Goku in the face to his right, sending him flying and crashing into a pile of rubble that was the wall of the ring before grinning wickedly.
"Oh no!" Hanon exclaimed worryingly.
"Goku!" Bulma exclaimed in equal concern, but their worries were short lived as there wasn't even a trace of Goku in the rubble.
"What? He disappeared." Krillin asked in surprise.
"Wha… where is he?" Piccolo asked in slight shock that he recovered so quickly, not aware that Goku appeared behind him.
"I'm back here." Goku smirked as he kicked Piccolo in the face. Piccolo quickly got back into the fight, but using his speed, Goku got quickly behind Piccolo again and delivered a punch to the gut. Goku raised it up a notch on his speed as he delivered a flurry of punches at Piccolo. The demon king could only block a few of his punches, but most past through is defenses. Then Goku jumped above him and landed behind, immediately delivering a kick that sent Piccolo flying back. However, Piccolo immediately recovered as he jumped in the air with his hands and started to levitate. He was now starting to grow furious as Goku is gaining the upper hand while wiping a drop of blood from his mouth.
"That was a lucky shot, human!" Piccolo shouted in outrage.
"Yeah, heard that one before!" Goku exclaimed.
"I had enough of these games, it's time to put an end to your miserable existence once and for all!" Piccolo shouted as insanity and desperation is beginning to take hold in his mind. Then he extended his hands straight towards Goku on the ground, much to the shock of Goku and his friends.
"Wha… what's he doing?" Krillin said in frightened voice.
"No, he wouldn't." Sara said in serious, yet worried tone.
"He would." Gaito said as a matter-of-factly. Goku glanced at the group to his right before looking back at Piccolo, who started to laugh like a lunatic as he was charging his attack.
"Not good. If that blast goes off right here, then they will all be killed." Goku gritted his teeth and growled slightly in thought. Knowing that every second mattered, he thought quickly as he jumped high in the air at fast speed.
"Hey! Over here!" Goku shouted as he jumped to Piccolo's level.
"Yes, stare into the eyes of your killer!" Piccolo shouted as he unleashed a powerful blast of energy.
"That's right, fire at me." Goku said to himself, his plan actually working.
Then he used a kiai from his right arm to dash to the right and dodge his blast. The energy attack continued its way until in struck on the mountains in the distance. Soon after the blast went off, a titanic dome of blinding light flashed and a powerful earthquake followed, stronger than the earthquake that Goku and Piccolo caused in their power ups. The entire group, excluding Goku, shielded their eyes and braced themselves for the aftershock of such a powerful attack. After the light died down, a smoke of equal size as the blinding light followed. After it settled down, it was revealed that a large chunk of the island was completely destroyed, with the sea water flooding into the massive crater left in the wake of such a powerful blast.
Unfortunately for Piccolo, Goku managed to dodge his attack as he was spinning sideways uncontrollably.
"Why won't he just die?" Piccolo growled in frustration as Goku used kiai again to launch himself back into the ring.
"Is everyone okay?" Yamcha said he hugged Bulma to shield her from the aftershock of Piccolo's attack.
"I am now." Bulma said in low and soothing voice, looking at Yamcha lovingly. "My hero." She teased Yamcha, while the dashing warrior couldn't help but laugh nervously a bit.
Coco hid behind Tien Shinhan for protection as well. Tien realized it and looked at Coco with blank expression. When their eyes met, Coco blushed a bit and immediately looked away shyly while blushing a bit. Tien raised his eyebrow in confusion, while Launch growled angrily as she stood not far from the two.
"This is starting to get way out of hand." Goku growled angrily.
"Thank goodness, he made it." Lucia smiled as she sighed in relief.
"Thanks to him, all of us have made it. If Goku hadn't drawn his fire, none of us would be here right now." Master Roshi frowned seriously.
"Yeah, no kidding." Hanon said in frightened voice.
"That was just a glimpse of my power, I can destroy you anytime if I wish." Piccolo grinned wickedly.
"Oh yeah?! Well, here's a surprise from me to you!" Goku shouted as he placed his hands to his right side. "Super Kamehameha!"
"What?" Piccolo raised his eyebrow as his face went serious.
"Kaaameee…"
"What did he say?" Yamcha said in surprise.
"A Super Kamehameha Wave?" Tien said in equal surprise.
"Haaameee…" Goku said as bluish-white rays radiated from his palms, charging more energy into his attack. Piccolo was starting to be concerned as that kind of attack would definitely obliterate him if he is to take it on. But just before Goku was about to launch his attack…
"Goku, wait! Don't do it!" Master Roshi suddenly shouted out, making Goku cancel his attack. "Have you forgotten? If you attack him with that much energy, then not only will you kill Piccolo, but Kami as well."
"Yeah, that's right. Great." Goku growled as he looked up towards Piccolo, who was again laughing out loud.
"Too bad, but I'm sure Kami thanks you from the bottom of my heart!" Piccolo shouted as he laughed again.
"Darn you!" Goku gritted his teeth in frustration.
"You think you can beat me? Well you can forget about it, not without jeopardizing you precious Kami. I've already won this battle!" Piccolo started to laugh like a lunatic again as he was starting to glow with yellow aura.
"What tremendous energy." Master Roshi said as he frowned seriously.
"This time there is no diverging his attack, he is going to finish us all off with that blast." Gaito said grimly.
"What?!" The entire group exclaimed in shock and fear as they all looked at Gaito before they turned their attention towards their only savior.
"What am I going to do now? The same tactic won't work twice." Goku thought as he gritted his teeth angrily before looking towards the gang to his right, specifically Lucia, who had a very concerned look on her face. This time he was completely cornered and he has no choice but to make the ultimate sacrifice. "I'm sorry Kami, I have no choice but to stop him before he kills my friends."
"Kaaameee… Haaameeee…" Goku chanted as he charged his Super Kamehameha again, this time with nothing stopping him from executing his energy attack.
"You decided to go out with a bang? THEN ITS YOUR FUNERAL!" Piccolo let out a battle cry as he fired an enormous blast of orange energy.
"HAAAAAAAA!" Goku fired a Super Kamehameha wave that was the same size as Piccolo's attack. After their beams collided, shockwave soon followed, along with blinding light and strong winds as Goku and Piccolo struggled to gain advantage in their beam struggle. But after several moments of intense stalemate, Piccolo started to gain the upper hand as he gritted his teeth and was slowly pushing Goku's blast back at him. Realizing this, Goku let out a battle cry of his own as he poured more energy into the attack, quickly overpowering Piccolo's blast and was on its way to the attacker himself.
"How is this possible? I am invincible!" Piccolo shouted out desperately as the attack made contact. Piccolo screamed in horror as the only thing he could do was raise his hands in front of him and try to block the attack. The Kamehameha Wave pierced all the way through the clouds and exploded in blinding light, sending shockwave and hurricane winds again in every direction.
Goku panted a bit as he put moderate amount of energy into that attack. The dusty cloud started to settle down and they all looked up to see if Piccolo was gone for good. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case as he was still alive and well, with only his clothes suffering damage, the right side of his shirt and pants disintegrated.
"Darn it. I held back too much power." Goku said seriously as he straightened himself. "Guess I couldn't do it, not without killing Kami along with Piccolo."
"You have failed Goku! You thought your simple parlor tricks could destroy me? Well think again, cause I'm still here!" Piccolo shouted out in fury.
"Yeah, I know. Are you going to float up there all day or can we continue this fight?" Goku said in annoyance. Piccolo in turn started to hover down and landed on the ring with furious expression, growling angrily as veins popped on his forehead, but Goku was not fazed as he looked at Piccolo with stern, unwavering gaze.
"Unbelievable. He actually survived Goku's Kamehameha Wave." Karen said in shock and awe.
"This is unreal, how strong is this guy?" Noel said in slightly trembling voice.
"Piccolo's power is indeed far greater than the last time we fought him." Tien said seriously.
"Yes. His hatred and thoughts of vengeance against Goku must have made him train and push his powers beyond their limitations. Much like Goku tends to do so very often." Master Roshi said seriously.
"Well, so far it would seem that Goku has the upper hand. Let's just hope he can keep this up." Rina frowned slightly. Lucia said nothing as she continued to look at Goku sadly, cupping her hands as she could only pray that Rina's words were true and that Goku will win in the end.
A few moments of silence passed as neither of the fighters uttered a word. Goku's friends also looked at him in silence, waiting for his next move.
"I had enough!" Piccolo growled as he finally broke the silence, much to Goku's slight confusion. "This whole charade ends now. I will no longer be chained to this ring like a dog." He said as he hovered in the air and extended his hands towards the ring.
"Hold on. What are you doing?" Goku frowned seriously.
"What do you think? I waited three years for my revenge, I will not be confined to that accursed ring anymore!" Piccolo shouted as he charged his energy attack. Goku's eyes went wide in shock as he knew he wasn't bluffing at all.
"Hey! Get away from the ring! Now!" Goku shouted loudly to the group. Then Piccolo finally destroyed the ring, along with the entire tournament facility. Piccolo grinned wickedly now that he knows that he will go all out against Goku with no restrictions whatsoever, since there was nothing left of the tournament grounds but a big crater. Fortunately, the group reacted quickly as Tien scooped up Coco and Launch, Bulma, Puar and Oolong by Yamcha, Sara by Gaito, Noel by Krillin and Hippo rescued Lucia, Hanon, Rina, Karen, Yuri and the announcer by quickly transforming in his hippocampus form.
"That maniac. He completely destroyed the ring." Yamcha said seriously.
"Man, this is getting out of control." Krillin frowned in worry.
"Thanks Krillin." Noel smiled.
"Huh?" Krillin looked at her blankly.
"Thank you for saving my life." Noel smiled gently and blushed a bit.
"Oh come on, it was nothing, really!" Krillin laughed nervously a bit before he spotted a large flying horse of a sort. "What the… what is that thing?" He asked in surprise.
"That's Hippo. He has the ability to turn into hippocampus form that you see right now, increasing his strength and gaining new abilities in the process." Sara said as Gaito was holding her in his arms.
"I had no idea he had that kind of ability." Tien raised his eyebrow curiously. As for Coco and Launch, they frowned angrily at each other before they huffed in frustration and looked away. Tien sweat-dropped by their unusual behavior and was still left in the dark at what's going on between the two.
Then the entire gang started to descend on the ground away from where the tournament ring once was, landing not too far from the fighters. Goku and Piccolo hovered in the air with everpresent stern gazes on their faces. The first to descend on the ground was Piccolo, followed by Goku.
"Hey! Piccolo landed first out of the ring, that counts as a ring out, right?!" Launch said as she grabbed the announcer by the collar. The poor man was practically speechless the whole time by the theatrics he witnesses so far, but he was still foolish enough to stay to the tournament guidelines, even though the tournament was over for Goku and Piccolo.
"Ugh… well, Junior was first to land before Goku out of the ring, so that does count as a ring out!" The announcer said, drawing the attention of Goku and Piccolo, much to Goku's confusion and Piccolo's utter frustration.
"This guy has lost his mind. Doesn't he realize that this is no longer a tournament?" Rina said.
"Apparently not." Hanon said simply.
"The winner of the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament is…"
Before he could even finish that sentence, he was interrupted with an energy beam to the chest, much to everyone's shock and surprise, including Goku's. The announcer puked out blood as his body fell down on the ground.
"Hey, what's the deal?! He couldn't even defend himself, you cold-blooded murderer!" Goku shouted out in fury.
"He was getting on my nerves, the moron's blatant ignorance was hurting my brain." Piccolo said casually, making Goku even angrier.
"Krillin, give that guy a Senzu Bean right now!" Goku shouted out. Even though Krillin, Yamcha, Tien and Chiaotzu acquired the beans from Korin, the keeper of the tower never bothered to tell them about the healing properties of Senzu's for some reason, aside from the fact that it can fill you up for ten whole days, which is why they were looking at Goku with puzzled looks.
"Senzu Bean? What for?" Krillin asked in confusion.
"JUST DO IT!" Goku shouted out, startling Krillin a bit.
"Okay okay, I'll do it. I don't see what's the deal though." Krillin said to himself at the last sentence before he pulled out a Senzu Bean from his pocket and grabbed the announcer behind his head. "You really are a moron, this is not a tournament anymore, you know." Krillin said as he fed the bean to the man. The announcer chewed on it slowly, having no clue as how that would help to heal the fatal injury. But much to his surprise, and to Master Roshi, Krillin, Yamcha, Bulma, Launch, Oolong and Puar, the announcer's wounds was completely healed. Tien, Gaito, Hippo, Yuri and the mermaid princesses knew of its healing effect, so it was no surprise to them.
"What? No way!" Yamcha exclaimed in surprise.
"His wound is completely healed, as if it was never inflicted." Master Roshi said in amazement.
"I didn't know the beans can heal you, as well as fill you up." Krillin said in amazement, while the announcer was still baffled at how his chest wound was completely gone after eating that strange bean.
"Wha… what happened? How did I even…"
"Listen, you idiot." Gaito interrupted the announcer mid- sentence from behind him. "This is no longer a tournament, this is a fight to the death for the fate of the world. Unless you don't want to be nearly killed again, I suggest you keep quiet and let Goku handle it from here. Got it?" He said sternly. The announcer was yet again frightened as he silently nodded before Gaito glanced at Launch. "The same goes for you, blondie, so keep your mouth shut."
"Don't make me put a bullet in your mouth, you emo freak!" Launch shouted angrily.
"And ill blast you into oblivion if you utter a word one more time!" Gaito exclaimed in frustration.
"Launch!" Bulma suddenly shouted, drawing Launch's attention. Bulma shook her head silently with serious expression, knowing that Gaito wasn't bluffing about killing her and not aggravate him further. Launch grunted angrily before she folded her arms, returning her attention back to the fight.
"Now you listen here Piccolo! If you lay a hand on my friends one more time, I will destroy you!" Goku said furiously as he clenched his fists in determination, but Piccolo laughed arrogantly.
"Oh please, you can't fool me Goku. We both know that you can't do it because your heart bleeds for a weakling like Kami and your friends over there." Piccolo grinned wickedly.
"Oh yeah? Try me." Goku frowned angrily as he took his fighting stance.
"Whatever takes you to your coffin quickly. And my latest technique will make sure of that." Piccolo grinned wickedly.
"What?" Goku said in surprise.
But Piccolo said nothing as he clenched his fists and focused his energy into something that Goku is yet to see. A faint, yellow aura yet again formed around him as pebbles on the ground were floating and disintegrating from the magnitude of Piccolo's aura. Then blue lines formed across his entire body and soon enough, his body started to grow more and more in size. Even Goku was caught off guard as Piccolo's size grew until he was as big as a giant, only slightly shorter than Gaito's dragon form. Piccolo laughed out loud as his victory was seemingly assured now that he has increased his size, but Goku remained as confident as ever as he took his fighting position.
Piccolo grinned maliciously as he finally commenced his attack, punching through the ground when Goku dodged. Then Piccolos swung his hand towards the group, sending a short, but strong wind in their direction. Piccolo continued with his assault, trying to crush and stomp his opponent into a puddle of blood, but Goku continued to dodge his attacks nimbly. He had to admit, on second thought he was actually glad that he destroyed the ring and cancelled the tournament, now he can move around freely with no restrictions whatsoever. Even if the announcer was to officially name him a world champion by technicality, it wouldn't matter to Goku in the slightest as he still has an opponent to beat. However, he had no idea how to counter Piccolo' size increasing technique. He was almost in the same position as he was when he fought Gaito back then, but now he could handle somewhat his oversized opponent by only dodging until he can form a strategy.
Piccolo continued to laugh as he threw one punch and stomp after another. Goku even started to dash between buildings which Piccolo easily destroyed with a swipe of his hand, as if they were made of paper. Goku dashed from the crumbled building onto the next building. Piccolo used his eyebeams in horizontal line to attack Goku, but the spiky-haired warrior dodged again, ending up in only a row of buildings crumbling into ruins. Goku then used the opportunity to hide behind one of the buildings who were still intact.
"Well, this seems familiar. How am I going to beat him now that he is the size of a giant?" Goku thought as he was brewing a plan on how to counter his technique. "His size may have increased, but I don't feel any difference in his power. That's strange."
But before Goku could think any further, he heard a rumbling noise that appeared to be heading his way. In a slight panic, he dashed sideways at fast speed as Piccolo charged through a building as if it was nothing, completely destroying it. Goku the used his speed to sprint a good distance away from him, but the murderous villain did not stop as he charged through another building, swiping it away and immediately throwing a crushing punch, but fortunately Goku dodged it. However, in one moment he was caught by surprise as Piccolo managed to land a blow and slam him into the ground, temporarily stunning him. He had no idea that his friends were nearby, catching up with him to get a good view of the fated fight.
Picoolo grinned wickedly as he was slowly making his way to finish his victim off. But just as he was about to stomp his opponent good…
"Goku, let us help you!" Tien suddenly shouted out.
"Yes, we can win if we fight together!" Krillin shouted as well.
"Please Goku, let your friends help you beat him!" Lucia shouted in great worry, but Goku merely smiled as he was slowly getting up.
"No, stay where you are. I can still beat him, alone." Goku smiled as he stood upright.
"Stop being so stubborn, will ya?! If you don't let your friends help you, then you will die!" Hanon shouted in frustration.
"Come on Goku, just let us join the fight with you!" Rina shouted seriously.
"I said no!" Goku suddenly shouted, startling Lucia, Hanon and Rina, along with Tien, Krillin and Yamcha a bit. "I told you to stay back! I can still beat him, but only if you don't interfere!" He shouted sternly. In the end, his friends backed down with disappointed expressions, but it was for their own good, while Piccolo laughed arrogantly as he found his statement absurd and funny.
"Fool. If you think you can beat me in this state, then you are sadly mistaken!" Piccolo grinned wickedly.
"Oh yeah? Why don't we try fighting? You can come over and see for yourself." Goku said confidently as he took his fighting position again.
"My pleasure!" Piccolo grinned as he exhaled hardly, throwing a strong arc of wind that made a small explosion on the ground. But this time Goku was on the offensive as he dashed and spun forward repeatedly before he dashed again and kicked Piccolo behind his knee, making him lose his balance and supporting himself with his arms. Goku took the advantage of it and grabbed his index finger. Much to everyone's shock, Goku actually managed to lift a giant overhead and slam him into the ground with relative ease, much to Piccolo's embarrassment and surprise. Even thought Tien, Master Roshi, Yamcha, Krillin, Bulma, Ooolong, Puar and Launch were utterly shocked that he was capable of such a feat, Gaito, Hippo, Yuri and the mermaid princesses were shocked to a lesser degree, since he did manage to throw Gaito in his dragon form into the sea like a ragdoll. Still it wasn't a normal sight for someone so small to casually slam a giant into the ground.
"Wow, incredible!" Krillin exclaimed.
"Only he can do something like that." Yamcha said in shock.
"Piccolo achieved quite a feat. Despite his increase in size, it didn't sacrifice his speed." Master Roshi said as he looked at Piccolo before he turned his attention to Goku. "But Goku clearly had a course on how to defy the laws of physics. After expelling a great amount of energy into his Kamehameha Wave, he managed to topple a giant."
Piccolo then stood up and growled furiously.
"You'll pay for that!" Piccolo exclaimed as he continued his assault, again trying to smash and stomp Goku, but the spiky-haired figher continued to dodge his attacks. Piccolo slammed another building Goku latched onto before his opponent landed on the street level again. Then he smashed into the ground and Goku dashed sideways to avoid the attack. In frustration, Piccolo grabbed a nearby car and threw it at his nemesis. Goku barely had the time as he stopped himself and laid down on the ground to avoid the incoming car as it flew away and exploded in distance. Piccolo used the opportunity to use eye beams at Goku, but just as it was about to hit him, Goku used the Afterimage Technique to counter it and moved forward at fast speed, dashing on Piccolo's left knee and right fist before kicking him in the eye, with the villain screaming a bit as he rubbed his right eye. Then Goku spun backwards and dashed again towards Piccolo, but in a swift motion, Piccolo used his left fist and punched Goku, pinning him into the ground, making everyone gasp in varying degrees of shock and worry.
"Goku!" Lucia shouted worryingly while Piccolo grinned wickedly as he now stomped Goku beneath his foot with satisfying conclusion. Lucia gasped and covered her mouth in shock that Goku has been crushed, but before any of them could give up hope, much to Piccolo's own shock, Goku was still alive, struggling to lift his foot and free himself. No one uttered a word as they were silently cheering Goku on to make it out of there. In the end, Goku gained the upper hand and threw Piccolo again, making him slam into the ground, much to Piccolo's frustration.
"I HATE YOU!" Piccolo shouted angrily, making Goku laugh slightly.
"Your mistake is that you thought your size would scare me. All it really does it make you a bigger target." Goku smirked confidently.
"You think one lucky throw is an accomplishment?" Piccolo grinned as he stood up. "Well, then you are in for a surprise."
"Why do I get the feeling you are about to get taller?" Goku said. His assumption proved to be right as Piccolo was about to just that. Piccolo's body was covered in electricity this time as he grew even taller than he already was to titanic scale, even larger than Gaito's dragon form. Everyone was stunned, shocked, speechless as their fears grew for Goku's wellbeing. This time there was no throwing him around, he was too big to even consider such an option.
"Where's your confidence now?" Piccolo grinned maliciously.
"Goku, get out of there! You can't win!" Yamcha shouted.
"Run before you get flattened!" Krillin shouted.
"This is unreal, it's as if we are in some sort of nightmare." Karen said worryingly.
"Goku, no!" Hanon exclaimed worryingly.
"Now my fingernail is bigger than your body, so you can't throw me anymore. Give up, runt!" Piccolo grinned, his victory seemingly assured.
"It's you who should give up, I've been waiting for this moment!" Goku smirked confidently as he readied himself to execute his master plan.
"Oh? Waiting to die?!" Piccolo said as he tried to stomp Goku again, causing a small earthquake in the process. However, Goku dashed to the sky at high speed to dodge his attack.
"Kamehame… HAAAAA!" Goku fired a Kamehameha Wave, but not towards Piccolo, but the other way around, causing the force of the energy attack to push him right inside his mouth. Surprises just keep lining up as everyone was yet again shocked and surprised as Goku did what even an insane mind wouldn't do.
"What the heck?!" Rina exclaimed in shock.
"He went inside his throat!" Lucia exclaimed, about as shocked as everyone present. Piccolo gagged and coughed as he tried to choke Goku out, but it was useless as Goku went further inside his guts.
"He's crazy!" Krillin exclaimed.
"No, it's his best chance to defeat him." Tien frowned seriously.
"You're both crazy!" Krillin said to Tien, flabbergasted that Tien would support Goku's insane tactic. But within Piccolo's body, Goku pummeled his insides, making Piccolo feel really nauseous on his upper body, only inches away from vomiting. But after an unimaginable duration of pure agony, Piccolo finally managed to spit Goku out, falling down on the ground and leaning on his arms, coughing and breathing hard to compose himself.
"Tien!" Goku shouted as he threw something at him quick. Tien caught the unknown item and to his surprise upon closer observation, it was the same bottle that Kami was trapped in. Goku actually managed to pull a bottle from Piccolo's insides.
"What? This is…" Tien said as he looked at Goku.
"OPEN IT RIGHT NOW!" Goku shouted in extreme urgency.
"Right!" Tien nodded.
"What?!" Piccolo said in horror as Tien removed the bottle cap. "STOP IT!" He shouted in desperation, but it was too late as green smoke fumed from the bottle and formed into none other than Guardian of the Earth himself, Kami.
"What?! He looks just like Piccolo!" Lucia exclaimed in surprise.
"Yeah, only a lot older!" Hanon exclaimed in equal surprise. The rest of the group, excluding Goku and Master Roshi, were stunned that he was the Guardian of the Earth they heard about. They knew he was the good guy, judging from that Goku told them before the fight began, but they were still caught by complete surprise that Kami was exact replica of Piccolo, except the fact that he looked extremely old.
"You're Kami, aren't you?" Master Roshi said in calm voice before Kami nodded silently. "You're free now, Goku employed a brilliant strategy to rescue you."
"Goku?" Kami said in surprise as he looked to his left, with Goku smiling and gesturing his two finger victory sign.
"I see. Piccolo reversed the effects of the Evil Containment Wave and trapped me instead." Kami said in realization.
As for Piccolo, he finally recovered as he stood upright. Realizing the fatal flaw of his technique, he had no choice but to regress back to his normal size.
"That's better. Are you feeling small?" Goku smirked, much to Piccolo's frustration.
"Shut your mouth!" Piccolo growled angrily.
"Calm down. The veins if your forehead are about to explode. You should try to relax." Goku said light-heartedly.
After a lot of twist and turns from both fighters, Goku finally managed to free Kami from his prison inside Piccolo's body. Now that the Guardian of the Earth was free, he can now take down Piccolo without harming Kami at the same time. He knew fully well that he still can't kill him, but he will make sure he gets a good beating before this fight is done and over with.
