The Legend of the Strongest Saiyan

Sun Wukong sensed Piccolo's aura and his fighting spirit surged.

"That's impressive power, Piccolo!"

"Son! Come on, let me see the power of a Super Saiyan!"

Goku assumed a fighting stance once more. Piccolo's aura surpassed that of a Super Saiyan, and Goku scrutinized Piccolo with a serious expression.

Neither of them made a move, but the air currents at high altitudes had stopped, clearly indicating that they had begun to fight.

Goku struck first, delivering a lightning-fast side kick to Piccolo's right arm, which he was using for defense. Before Piccolo could react, Goku vanished from his spot, and an excited smile appeared on Piccolo's lips.

He turned around and deflected the energy blast fired by Sun Wukong with one hand. Soon, Sun Wukong's figure rushed over.

"Oh!"

Golden and orange flames emanated from the two of them, forming waves of energy that surged outwards.

"Sun, I won't lose as a Super Saiyan."

Piccolo, I have no intention of using Super Saiyan 2.

"Let's have a good fight!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Goku roared, and golden light enveloped the two of them. Goku's punch missed, and Piccolo dodged Goku's punch by turning to the side and hitting Goku's chin with an uppercut. Goku's head was lifted up by the force and quickly pressed down. He attacked Piccolo with both hands at the same time, and Piccolo dealt with them one by one. The speed of their punches became faster and faster.

The white air currents in the air created ripples that spread in all directions, and the figures of the two changed from clear to just afterimages as they entered a battle that moved faster than the speed of light.

Throughout the battle, Piccolo either blocked, neutralized, or dodged each of Goku's attacks. Under normal circumstances, Piccolo would have easily won given his superior strength. However, Piccolo was facing Goku, a Saiyan monkey whom everyone who had fought him considered difficult to deal with and persistent.

Vegeta, observing the battle between Goku and Piccolo in the air, analyzed, "Piccolo seems to have the advantage, while Goku is at a disadvantage. Based on my experience fighting Goku many times, Goku likes to take a beating for a while first, and then he gets stronger and stronger, becoming more and more difficult to deal with. So the best way to defeat Goku is to go all out from the start and catch him off guard."

"However, I would disdain to do that."

Xie Yi, observing the two figures clashing in the air, commented, "Wukong is at a disadvantage? Whether it was intentional or not is hard to say."

Piccolo's ki attack was swept away by Goku's arm, and at the same time, he was caught off guard by Goku's quick punch, and his figure staggered back a few steps.

"Goku, you're really tough to deal with. Even though I'm so much stronger than you, a Super Saiyan, it's still hard for me to overpower you. And your attacks are becoming less and less familiar to me. Aside from Vegeta, who can hold his own against me at the same level, Xie Yi is definitely no match for you if he doesn't rely on his power to suppress you."

Sun Wukong straightened up and replied in a relaxed manner, "Piccolo, don't underestimate yourself, you're not bad."

Piccolo's eyes lit up, and he quickly stretched out an arm to wrap around Goku's body.

"what?"

With his other hand, he began to gather energy, preparing to unleash the Special Beam Cannon.

"Piccolo?" Goku said calmly.

"I underestimated you. You are really smart. You took advantage of my carelessness."

Piccolo laughed and said, "Really, Son, Gohan and you have the same problem."

"We must not lower our guard just because we see the enemy relaxing their guard."

After saying that, Piccolo unleashed his Special Beam Cannon from his fingertips.

Goku tried his best to break free from Piccolo's arm, but the Super Saiyan couldn't break free. With the Special Beam Cannon just a hair's breadth away, Goku had no choice but to shout, and golden light burst from his body, shattering the Special Beam Cannon and one of Piccolo's arms.

Super Saiyan 2 Goku makes his appearance.

Sun Wukong had sharp eyes, and lightning crackled around him.

“Bick, I’m here.”

Goku flashed in front of Piccolo and threw a punch, which Piccolo deflected in time. Goku then used his other arm to feign an attack, but instead kicked out, sending Piccolo flying backward. Goku's hand was brimming with energy.

"Turtle Style Qigong Wave!"

The blue energy wave engulfed the crater created by Piccolo's impact with the ground.

After a burst of blue light and thick smoke, Goku exited his Super Saiyan transformation.

Evil Light, Vegeta sensed Piccolo's aura weakening.

"Kakarot won. Piccolo managed to force out his Super Saiyan 2, which is pretty good."

"Goku won because he's a Super Saiyan 2. Piccolo shouldn't be underestimated."

Goku landed on the ground outside the crater where Piccolo was, and Piccolo, now back to normal, walked out of the crater.

After shouting and restoring his severed arm, he said, "Sun, at least you weren't careless. I thought you were going to give me time to heal my arm first."

Sun Wukong chuckled and said, "Piccolo, congratulations! Shenron has managed to unlock your potential so much. I wonder if Old Kaioshin can help you take your strength to the next level."

"Kaioshin?"

"That's right, Piccolo is the Old Kaioshin, and is said to be many generations above the Kaioshin."

Piccolo asked curiously, "Son, you said that Old Kaioshin has the power of Shenron and can unleash my potential?"

Sun Wukong nodded.

Xie Yi and Vegeta came over together. Xie Yi smiled and said, "Piccolo, you're really amazing. Goku had to use Super Saiyan 2 to defeat you. You should know that his current base form is much stronger than yours."

Vegeta crossed his arms, as if to express his acknowledgment of Piccolo's strength.

Piccolo humbly replied, "I'm still far behind you guys. Son has so many transformations, which is why I forced him to use Super Saiyan 2. I still need to train hard. Shenron has unlocked my potential, so it shouldn't just be my transformation ability; my training speed should also have improved."

Xie Yi, Vegeta, Piccolo, and Goku were talking when the sky gradually darkened.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xie Yi said to the other three, "It's getting late, how about we go to Vegeta's house for another dinner?"

Sun Wukong immediately replied, "Alright! I have no objection!"

Bick said, "I don't need to eat, just sunshine and water."

Vegeta roared, "You two! It's my house again, what right do you have!"

Xie Yi replied, "Going to pick up your wife? Xiao Bai and Bulma are together."

"Picking up your wife?"
