Dragon Ball One Power Level Per Second

Chapter 18: Piccolo Is Gone?



Noticing everyone's gaze focused on him again, this time including Bulma, Krillin, and Master Roshi, Lin Chuan emitted a light chuckle.

The spotlight had shifted back to him.

Truthfully, Goku was treating him as a pillar of support, something Lin Chuan had not anticipated.

After all, even though he had demonstrated his strength and goodwill and shared much information with them, he had just arrived on Earth.

How should he put it? While this was the scenario he wanted to see, Lin Chuan felt somewhat resistant.

This resistance stemmed from being used!

Because Goku's approach wasn't about real trust but because they weren't enemies at the moment, they thought of using him to stabilize the situation.

Was it said that early Goku was not very bright, acting impulsively without thinking?

That's nonsense!

That seemingly casual smile and clear eyes, but the intentions were quite transparent.

"You've said so much, so I can promise not just to stand by and watch Earth be destroyed!"

"After all, there are things I need on this planet, and the environment is quite nice, suitable for living."

"However, don't pray for me just to step in and suppress Vegeta and the others directly. If you truly cannot handle them in a year, then I will protect the Earth from destruction as a condition for my use of the Earth's Dragon Balls and temporary residence. How's that?"

With those words, Lin Chuan also circled back to the topic of borrowing the Dragon Balls.

Since it was about utilization, Lin Chuan naturally clarified his position.

With this statement, he responded to Goku's request.

"You have my word, which is enough. You can use the Dragon Balls, but you may not wish for immortality or wishes that could harm the world."

"Otherwise, no matter what, we won't help you find the Dragon Balls."

Goku put it bluntly upfront.

He had already anticipated Lin Chuan would bring this up, but it had been skipped earlier due to the discussion about Vegeta and Frieza.

Now, coming back to it was inevitable.

Call him smart. Indeed, he was, but also a bit foolish.

So, it is explicitly stated that if Lin Chuan were acting with him, then what could he do if Lin Chuan reneged at the moment of wishing?

Goku should be glad that Lin Chuan truly wasn't an enemy and wouldn't make such wishes.

"Don't worry, such wishes hold no allure for me! Besides, I assume Earth's Dragon Balls have their limits, right? Once it exceeds their capacity, they can't fulfill the wish." Lin Chuan nodded in agreement, then took the opportunity to look towards Piccolo and said, "Actually, I was a bit curious about Earth's wish-granting Dragon Balls before. Now, seeing you, a Namekian, I suppose I know now! The Dragon Balls were created by you, right?"

"Legend says that Namekians possess many unique powers. Regenerating limbs is one, and creating Dragon Balls is another," Lin Chuan continued, narrowing his eyes.

Saying this was also to stage the Namekians and to make everyone realize that Namek also had Dragon Balls.

"What you said is both right and wrong! I didn't create the Dragon Balls. My expertise lies in combat," Piccolo responded directly and defiantly.

Even if outmatched, Piccolo's pride as the great demon king was still intact.

"Is that so? It seems you are a warrior-type Namekian. However, your power does seem a bit weak since a normal warrior-type Namekian generally has a power level of well over 2000 points!" Lin Chuan said.

He had yet to remember whether this figure was accurate. Still, according to the plot, warrior-type Namekians had the power to kill high-ranking soldiers of Frieza's forces and could also control their power to burst instantly.

In his memory, a Namekian named Nail left a strong impression.

Because he was the first to confront Frieza face-to-face on Planet Namek.

His power level was a formidable 42,000 points.

...

Hearing Lin Chuan's words, the group started to feel uneasy again.

Especially those like Krillin, Master Roshi, and Bulma, who had just arrived and learned part of the situation.

Who would have thought that Piccolo was also an alien?

And with the news that warrior-type Namekians generally have a power level over 2000 points, does that mean the great demon king Piccolo can only cause trouble on Earth and would be insignificant back on Planet Namek?

Piccolo clenched his fists, naturally feeling indignant and unwilling.

Imagine unseen fellow clan members possessing power levels over 2000, and him? Even with his Special Beam Cannon pushing his limits, barely reaching 1500 points.

"Thinking back now. Indeed, Lord Kami once told me during my training that before you separated from Kami, you were a very powerful being... If you were to merge

 Back into one person now, perhaps your power could surge, potentially reaching thousands of points," Goku suddenly said.

This was a closely guarded secret, known only to Kami, Mr. Popo, Goku, and Piccolo on Earth.

"Hmph! Don't get any ideas about me! Do you think I'm the kind of person who takes shortcuts? Goku! Don't think that just because we've fought together once, we're friends! I am still Piccolo, the Great Demon King, and after defeating those two Saiyans, you'll be next!" Piccolo left a stern warning.

Then, without further hesitation, he glanced at everyone present one last time before shooting into the sky.

Piccolo had left!

In such a scenario, no one tried to stop him.

Lin Chuan was utterly bewildered...

Wait, did Piccolo remember to take someone with him???

His gaze involuntarily lingered on Gohan for a while. Without Piccolo's guidance, could Gohan still turn out like in the original story?

This damn thing, after all the talk, seemed like the most crucial part of the plot had been diverted...

If Gohan wasn't there, could Piccolo still change as quickly as he did in the original story?

Just as he was about to say something else.

At that moment, Goku suddenly looked up at the sky, exclaiming, "Lord Kami, so you've been watching everything here all along."

Goku's sudden remark startled everyone present, including Lin Chuan.

While aware of the plot and knowing Kami had the capability, he hadn't expected him to intervene at this moment.

No one interrupted the conversation between Goku and Kami. After a while, Goku looked surprised and spoke, "Just now, Lord Kami communicated with me telepathically, suggesting we all go to the Lookout. He has important things to discuss with us face-to-face."

"Similarly, he has invited you, big brother, and Lin Chuan. He said that even though you two are Saiyans from another planet since we've turned from foes to friends and you'll also be living on Earth, he hopes you can come to the Lookout. The main thing is to train together and jointly face the enemies arriving in a year."
