Chapter 955: Chapter 956: The Dragon Ball World’s No. 1 Babysitter

"Why bring Piccolo?"

"To find Gohan a teacher."

Ethan wanted to say he was finding Gohan a godfather, but decided against it. Besides, with no Saiyan threat this time, he was not sure whether Piccolo would still be willing to teach Gohan.

In the original story, Gohan’s strengths and frequently used techniques were all Piccolo’s moves, and he even preferred Piccolo’s outfit. It was hard to tell who his real father was.

With Goku teaching him personally this time, Ethan wondered whether Piccolo could still hold such an important place in Gohan’s heart.

"A teacher?"

"Our power is too strong. Even if we could teach him, it wouldn’t be suitable for sparring with Gohan."

Raditz, whose power level was suitable, did not understand training at all. Bringing him along was partly because he did not want to spend a long time with a group of unfamiliar Earthlings. Although Raditz and his brother Kakarot did not have much affection for each other, they were still brothers. The other reason was the worry that he might secretly cause trouble, so it was better to keep an eye on him by keeping him close.

"That’s true, but will Piccolo agree?"

"He will, because he also wants to get stronger."

On the entire Earth, no one understood how to get stronger better than Ethan and Goku. If Piccolo wanted his power level to catch up, the best option was to train with them.

As for grudges, Piccolo probably did not even realize it himself, but he had no intention of avenging the previous Piccolo. The last few times he had spoken, he had only mentioned defeating Ethan and Goku, not killing them. This meant the new Piccolo subconsciously only wanted to prove that he was stronger.

Of course, if he became strong enough that no one could suppress him, perhaps the evil side in his heart would gradually emerge and eventually gain the upper hand, becoming the new Piccolo.

Unfortunately, that possibility would never happen. Leaving aside Ethan’s strength, even Goku could now steadily suppress him.

Once Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan, the gap between their powers will widen further. Piccolo would only be able to contend with a Super Saiyan if he fused with Kami again and also merged with Nail, the only Namekian warrior on Namek, becoming a Super Namekian.

However, once he fused with Kami, that bit of evil inside him would be completely eradicated. At that point, the title Demon King would have nothing to do with Piccolo anymore.

Just as Ethan had guessed, Piccolo’s only focus right now was catching up to Ethan and Goku. Although he found it strange that those two would invite him to train, after thinking for a while, he did not refuse in the end and came with Ethan and the others to Yunzabit Heights.

"This place..."

Looking at the desolate land, with nothing but rocks, Piccolo suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Ethan knew that when Kami first came to Earth, his spaceship had landed in this barren area of Yunzabit Heights, and he had lived here alone for a long time. Fortunately, Namekians did not need to eat, otherwise it would have been impossible to survive in a place like this.

"It’s really desolate."

Ethan and Goku looked around, confirming that the place was indeed barren. Not only were there no humans living there, there was not even a single animal in sight.

Gohan had been sitting on Goku’s shoulder. At four years old, he was at an age when he was curious about everything. Having never seen a place like this, he did not think there was anything bad about it.

"Because the altitude is high, the temperature is low, and the air is thin, training in this place should be effective."

Ethan had also brought a large number of Hoi-Poi Capsules containing various supplies, ensuring that they could still live well in this desolate place.

"Wait a moment."

Just as they were preparing to land in a sufficiently open area, Goku suddenly motioned for everyone to wait.

"Kami just contacted me. He wants us to check out a place."

"Tch!"

Piccolo looked down on Kami greatly and instinctively wanted to ignore his request. However, he quickly realized that among this group, he had no say at all.

"Once I become strong enough..."

Although very unhappy, Piccolo, who wanted to become stronger, decided to endure it and continued following Goku through this barren region.

"What exactly are we looking for?"

Ethan did not speak. He knew that Kami probably wanted them to look for the spaceship he had ridden in back then.

Now that he had confirmed he was actually an alien, he also understood that the strange house from back then had actually been a spaceship.

This time, with Ethan and Goku coming to Yunzabit Heights, Kami wanted Ethan to come and confirm it.

"It should be here."

Goku looked toward a valley surrounded by mountains, where there was a strange building resembling a giant insect. That was probably what Kami wanted him to find.

"What is that?"

Piccolo felt a strange sense of familiarity, while Ethan had already quickly descended.

Ethan did not need to make a judgment. Raditz, who had seen a lot in space, had already recognized it as a spaceship.

"Although the shape is a bit strange, this is definitely a spaceship."

Goku was also examining the spaceship, and after hearing something from Kami, he stood below the ship and spoke the name "Piccolo."

"What?"

While Piccolo was still wondering why Goku was calling him, he saw a circular platform descend from the bottom of the spaceship. The platform slowly floated down to the ground, and people could stand on it, or simply fly directly into the circular opening.

"..."

Piccolo was very smart and immediately understood that his name was actually the command to open the spaceship’s door. So this was the origin of his name?

Flying inside and looking around, everyone became even more certain that this was a spaceship. After all, no one would build a house like this. The seat at the front was clearly a pilot’s seat, and its shape was almost identical to the chair Piccolo liked to sit on most.

Piccolo became more and more certain of his origins. Everything Ethan had told him back then had been true.

"This is the spaceship Kami rode when he first came to Earth, isn’t it?"

While everyone was looking around inside, Goku explained what Kami had asked him to do. Ethan and Raditz both confirmed it was a spaceship, so the answer was already obvious.

"I wonder if it can still be used."

"It should be able to. The fact that using the command opens the entrance proves that some of the ship’s functions are still working properly." As for whether it could still fly, Ethan and the others were not very interested. Bulma and Dr. Brief had already thoroughly studied the space technology of Frieza’s group through the spaceship Goku had used as a child and the one Raditz had used, and had begun building spaceships entirely belonging to Earthlings.

As for the spaceship’s appearance, Ethan did not interfere. Most likely, they would just scale up the spherical spaceship. As long as it could fly and was fast enough, Ethan did not care whether the design matched his aesthetic taste.

"Let’s go out. I’ll use a Hoi-Poi Capsule to store the spaceship."

Using a Hoi-Poi Capsule to store an item usually required some procedures, but Ethan had a simpler and more direct method. He just had to put the spaceship into a large container, then turn the container back into a capsule.

It was not the first time Raditz had seen someone use a Hoi-Poi Capsule, but he still sighed.

"This technology is really convenient."

It was precisely because of the Hoi-Poi Capsules, together with Bulma’s ability to replicate the scouter in just a few days, that Raditz had developed a very mistaken impression of Earth’s technological level. He thought it was a highly advanced civilization. He was puzzled as to why Earthlings were rarely seen in the universe and why there were almost no interstellar civilizations trading with Earth.

However, Saiyans thought more about fighting than anything else. Those questions were only fleeting thoughts. After storing Kami’s spaceship, everyone returned to the open area they had chosen before, ready to settle down in this place.

"Dad, are we camping here?"

"Not exactly camping. We’re going to live here for a while."

"Why didn’t you bring Mom?"

"The environment here is quite harsh. We’re not here to play."

Gohan was a very well-behaved child. Although he was young, he did not make a fuss. Perhaps it was because he did not yet know how much hardship he was about to endure.

Because Ethan suggested that Piccolo be responsible for teaching Gohan.

"Why should I be responsible for helping Goku raise his child?"

"Don’t you want to learn from me how to get stronger? I can’t just teach you for free."

The meaning of those words was clear. Teaching Gohan was the price Piccolo had to pay. And Goku felt that an outsider like Piccolo might be able to help Gohan better sharpen his fundamentals, because Piccolo would not go easy on his child.

"Hmph, if that’s the case, I’ll train your son well..." Then he showed what he thought was a terrifying smile. "I hope you won’t regret it!"

Gohan looked at this strange-faced uncle with a confused expression. After Ethan took out the houses for resting, he and Goku walked directly to a more distant open area.

"How about we have a match first?"

"The weather is quite cool, perfect for warming up."

Standing face to face, the two said nothing more. Almost at the same time, they unleashed their full power. Goku immediately used Kaio-ken times ten, while Ethan also used the Jagan Ensatsu Ken, black energy coiling around his body.

The suddenly released immense power almost blew Gohan away. It was Piccolo who grabbed the child, preventing him from crashing into the mountain wall behind them.

"Tch... They actually made me the babysitter!"

He understood now. Ethan and Goku wanted to focus more on their own training. Teaching a child would distract them and waste time, which was why they made him responsible. However, being able to watch Ethan and Goku fight at full power, Piccolo felt that the trade was not too bad.

What Piccolo did not expect was that after training began, he discovered that he had to teach not only Gohan, but also this guy named Raditz... And this guy’s power level and aptitude left him speechless.

"Are you really Goku’s brother?"
