“What?” he asks, clearly surprised by this. “What do you mean?”
“Come on now, Namekian. Hiding your antenna doesn't hide what you are.” you reply, crossing your arms. “So, tell me. Where have you hidden the Dragon Balls? Are there more of your people here?”
“My people? I am the Demon King Piccolo, I stand above all others!” he declares, but then after a moment his expression changes. “Wait. There are... Others?”
“Ah, I see. So you're like Ubo.” you say, realization dawning. He was sent away from his own people and crashed on this foreign planet. Must have been young, due to not knowing, so you decide to reach out.
“Hey, Grand Elder. I found one of your people on a far-away planet in the north quadrant.” you tell him. “Do you know who this could be?”
“The son of Katas lives? I had thought him dead.” Grand Elder Guru replies, you sensing his shock. “How is he?”
“Well, he's calling himself the 'Demon King Piccolo', and at one point conquered this planet, only to be deposed by the locals.” you reply, feeling an overwhelming sense of disappointment from the elder.
“I see. That is... Unfortunate.” Guru replies after several seconds. “It would seem that this poor child has turned from our ways.”
“This Piccolo doesn't seem to be aware he is even one of your people.” you reply, feeling a spark of hope in the grand elder's mind. But before the two of you can continue this conversation, Piccolo speaks up.
“So, you truly aren't of this world. Guess there is life out there beyond this little rock, more worlds for me to conquer after I take this one over.” he replies, and to your surprise throws his cape off, taking off his head wrap as well. Revealing his Namekian antenna, the being cracking his knuckles and neck. “I was saving this power for more... Pesky nuisances, but you're strong enough to make it worth my while. You shall be the first to witness my true power!”
