You open your eyes wide. “What?”
He looks at you, eye to eye. “I’d like to train with Goku and his son. I know that child has a great power in him. I have already taught him much, and I’d like to continue doing so.”
He crosses his arms. “And since my promise was to fight for you until I reached a power level of 9.000, I believe I’ve done my part of the deal. The next step is for us to travel to Namek.”
“You are saying the truth…” You say. Piccolo is a great boon to your crew, but perhaps it is best to let him stay home, cement the fact that you are now treating him as an ally and not a subject. But still, his strength would be invaluable if you encountered foes during your trip.
Piccolo then closes his eyes. “Of course, if you need me so much, I’ll go, but I would really rather stay and enjoy my time with Gohan here.”
Is this Namekian Gohan’s father now? Curse the earthling ways’ of softening hearts.
>”I request that you come with us, not as part of any deal, but as a friend.” You need all the hands you can get on deck.>”You are right, you have done your part for now.” Let Piccolo stay at Earth. He will help tremendously with Gohan and Rokka’s growth as fighters.
