To Go Even Further Beyond - Chapter 22.1 (Patreon)

With how low the battle powers were for everyone on Earth, it was actually quite hard to sense them from so far away.
It went to show how awesome Guru was he could do it himself without any Yardrat training.

But, eventually I did lock on to one familiar power, accompanied by another power, and I was quite surprised.

Guru was not at all kidding.

Piccolo and Gohan, by my estimates, were around the strength I was when I went into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to learn to control the Oozaru form.

Between them and Goku with the Kaioken, I actually can see them cleaning up Vegeta without too much issue.

Looks like Piccolo has been abusing the zenkai with Gohan as I told him and in the process, Piccolo got stronger just from training with someone that strong.

Man, how quickly things changed and spiralled with just a little bit of extra information, huh?

I locked into Piccolo's ki quickly and a moment later, I disappeared from the Planet of Namek and appeared back on Earth, atop a large flat headed mountain.

As soon as I did, my eyes landed on two figures, both sitting cross legged and meditating, on a rock in mini Gohan's case, and floating mid-air in Piccolo's.

As soon as I appeared, Piccolo's eyes snapped open in shock, before landing on me.

"…Kakarot, I was wondering if you would ever get back," the green man snorted, lowering gentle to the ground and towering over me, arms crossed, "How did you get here without me sensing you?" he demanded first of all.

The only reason he wasn't freaking out about my huge girthy battle power was because I had suppressed it to around the same it was at before I left Earth.

It sure is hard keeping a handle on this huge girth of mine.

"A little technique I picked up out in space, let's me teleport to any power I can sense." I casually explained.

The commotion of us talking, broke Gohan out of his meditation, and the kid blinked his eyes open and stared at me in confusion, before his eyes widened and tears began to to bud in the corner of them, "D-daddy?" he sniffled.

I winced, "Not quite kid," I replied, "I'm Kakarot."

"…Oh…" he slumped in disappointment. Looks like Piccolo has explained who I am at least.

"Don't worry kid, your dad will be back soon, in fact, in the next few days I'm betting." I assured him, and it was a testament to how resilient Gohan was that he perked right back up.

"Really!?" he beamed, losing his sadness in an instant, "Thanks for letting me know Mr. Kakarot!"

"…You can just call me uncle, Gohan, I more or less pass for the twin of your dad at this rate." I found myself replying without any input from my brain.

Damn you mouth! This is treason!

"I've not really had a good track record with uncles…" he pointed out with a little smile, "But okay Uncle Kakarot!"

Before I could reply, there was a snort from Piccolo, "Yeah yeah, mushy crap and all that," he huffed, before glaring at me, "By the looks of it, your power hasn't increased at all, what have you been doing these past eight months?"

I laughed, "Oh trust me Piccolo, I've done more than you can imagine," I grinned broadly at him, "I'm just keeping my power suppressed right now because of how terrified you'd be if you felt how massive my power is right now."

"I doubt it," Piccolo snorted, "I heard all about that Frieza freak from Kami, that triclops wasn't very tight lipped around that old fossil, and while I've never felt his power, I at least have a rough basis of how much he outclasses us."

Basically, what he was saying was he'd come to terms with how strong Frieza was and was saying unless I surpassed that, he wouldn't be impressed.

Ah Piccolo, always the harsh taskmaster. Now, if only you kept that up in the normal timeline after Cell, Gohan wouldn't have become a disappointment.

It was funny how little had actually changed between this guy and his future counterpart.

"Oh trust me Piccolo, even in my base form here, I've far surpassed Frieza, I could kill him with both arms tied behind my back," my smirk got even larger, "But don't worry, I come baring gifts. You'll find that Frieza isn't much to worry about these days and in a few hours you would be able to take care of him yourself."

Piccolo's bald brows furrowed, "A bold claim for a mere six months, and that's on top of you being able to get ten times stronger in that giant ape form like Gohan." he mused.

Wait, what?

My eyes snapped back to Gohan, and my eyes widened. There, wrapped around his waist, was a furry brown belt, or rather, a tail. Piccolo hadn't gotten rid of his tail this time?

And he knew how much stronger Gohan got and talked about it casually…

"…You managed to teach him to control it?" I gaped at him.

"Hmph, as if I would allow any student of mine to be so weak minded they couldn't control such a boon," Piccolo snorted, "Now putting aside that plebian matter, tell me Kakarot, what are these gifts you speak of?"

"Something I picked up on Namek," I shook my head and replied, getting back on top. I held up my hand, a portal rippling into existence and dropping a familiar orange spiky fruit into my hands, "This is a fruit from the Tree of Might, suffice to say, I have many of them, and just eating one will increase your power by just around the amount you currently have."
Despite the shocking revelation I just dropped on him, Piccolo was utterly silent.

…."That's absurd, there's no way something that miraculous exists." Piccolo rolled his eyes and shook his head.

Instead of trying to convince him, I rolled my eyes and looked to Gohan, "Here kid, have a snack." I said, tossing it to him.
The kid caught it easily and looked to Piccolo who just nodded, "Erm, thanks uncle Kakarot." he bowed his head politely to me, and then took a bit out of the fruit.

And promptly, had his eyes widen, alongside Piccolo's as his power skyrocketed, more than doubling in amount.
My scouter displayed the number it settled on a few moments later.

37,564

"…Unreal!" Piccolo gasped in shock and awe, while Gohan just gaped at himself, clenching and unclenching his fists.

"Mr. Piccolo…I feel so strong!" Gohan gasped.

"…Of course you do, you just got more than twice as strong as you were before!" Piccolo snapped at the boy in his shock.
It took a good few moments for the both of them to calm down, and I could see the flush in Piccolo's green cheeks, "…..So, gifts huh?" he coughed, "And I assume you brought some for everyone?" he asked.

"Yup," I laughed, flashing him a thumbs up, "I've got a ton of em like I said, I've saved up thirty for each and every single one of you, from you and Gohan, to Kami, the other guys and even Bulma's parents."

"Insane!" Piccolo gaped at me, "How on Earth did you manage to come by these fruit?"

"I abused the Namekian Dragon Balls," I shrugged, "Among other things, I grow a bunch of these fruit thanks to a wish, got myself some regeneration that blows yours out of the water and even have infinite ki."

Piccolo just stared at me.

"….You were a complete monster when you left, and now that you've come back, you put even monsters to shame." he stated neutrally.

"Monsters wish they were as badass as me!" I puffed my best out proudly.

As it is, with how strong I am now, I could probably take on some of Super's earlier enemies. Hmm, I wonder how I stack up against Golden Frieza?

"Anyway, I've got a bunch of people to visit, so let's hurry this up," I continued, waving my arm and forming two portals to my personal dimension - still to be named - and from them, a deluge of spiky orange fruit spilled out forming into a pair of piles in front of Piccolo and Gohan, "There you go, thirty each, enjoy!"

"…I can't believe you actually have this much of these absurd fruit," Piccolo shook his head, "…I don't even know how to put this into words."

"Just say thanks dude," I rolled my eyes, "Anyway, once you're done here, head up to Kami's lookout will ya? The gifts don't end here, there's one more that little green will be giving you as well."

"Little green?" Piccolo gave me an odd look

"You'll see later." I waved him off, and then pressed two fingers to my forehead, focused, and a second later disappeared and appeared on a familiar little island.

                                                                                   __________

As soon as I landed on the island of Kame House, two green blurs that were darting through the air and clashing against one another stopped abruptly and then quickly shot down to kneel before me.

Ichiji and Niji.

They'd been training hard I see. Both of them have a power eclipsing ten thousand, and Roshi was displaying a power over seven thousand on the scouter.

Man, not bad. He could slap around Nappa with that power, not even going into his Ultra Form. Vegeta really would have been fucked even without me coming back.

A moment later, I felt as two familiar powers in the distance began to rapidly ascend and completley dwarf their previous powers and felt as Roshi got startled by it and rushed outside.

"What in tarna-" the old master spluttered before pausing as he saw me, "Oh, this is your doing I take it? Piccolo and Gohan's power and the way it just keeps rising?"

"Guilty," I smiled at him, "How you been Master?" I bowed my head to the old bald pervert.

"Oh you know, doing great, resting from training with these two veggie monsters of yours, enjoying a good little aerobics channel, then nearly crapped myself when I felt Gohan and Piccolo's power," Roshi casually explained, "You know, the usual with a monster like you around.

"…A fruit that surpasses the Paradise Herb, huh? the world sure is a mysterious place," Roshi shook his head, smiling ruefully, "Well, alright Kakarot, I won't reject your offer."

I mean, why would he? Only a complete idiot would reject boons like this.

I looked at the Saibamen who were now eyeing the fruit with interested red eyes, "Don't worry, there's enough fruit to go around boys and you'll be getting a bunch as well." I assured them.

And to punctuate my statement, I waved my hand through the air and dropped thirty fruit of might in front of them, and thirty in front of Roshi.

The crimson eyes of my veggie boys went wide in utter shock, and then the pair of them clasped arms and began to happily dance in a circle.

"KAKAKAKAKA!" Ichiji laughed.

"GAGAAGAAGAAGAA!" Niji followed suit.

What weird laughs, but whatever, as long as they were happy y'know?

"…You really weren't kidding about having a ton of them, huh?" Roshi gaped at me, before grabbing one of the fruit and biting into it.

Power exploded out of his form as he munched away at it and swallowed, and before my eyes, his form shrunken with old age, straightened up and grew, his thin limbs and chest exploding outwards with muscle and before my eyes Roshi visibly became a young man again.

….Though he didn't regain his hair. He'd probably have to regrow that. Honestly, he looked a bit like a taller Krillin, with a nose.

"OH MY GOODNESS!" Roshi shouted his shock to the heavens, "I feel amazing! Like a young man beating his meat for the first time! I'm back girlies, watch out for this handsome young stud!"

Well, good to see he was happy. And as long as he stayed away from my women, he could do whatever the fuck he wanted.

And then he began to happily devour the pile of fruit of might in front of him alongside my Saibamen and their power grew and grew, just like Gohan and Piccolo before them.

…I wonder how the guys on the lookout are reacting to this? I wonder if Yamcha or Krillin shit themselves?
