As I stood around and waited for the others to make their way towards Papaya island, I was accosted by a blonde woman wearing a skimpy skirt and a blouse that made her assets show themselves quite nicely, she had blue highlights in her hair and wore sandals on her feet. She started to talk to me but I ignored her and she left with a huff, I wasn't interested in her any way she looked a bit like a street worker ready to make a quick buck.
Soon enough Yamcha and Tien made their way towards the registring place and I waved towards them, they both looked at me with wide eyes almost not recognizing me as now I was standing at a one-meter and eighty-five centimeters fully grew up, ten centimeters taller than Goku.
After they registered they asked me if I would participate in the tournament but I shook my head and released a bit of my aura they were both overwhelmed by it, while they were both stronger now, Tien standing at a power level of one thousand and one hundred and Yamcha at a power level of nine hundred and fifty. They couldn't even withstand a controlled burst of my power.
After a while Chiaotzu, Launch, Roshi, Puar, Oolong, and Bulma came as well, Roshi was the most impressive besides Goku his power level reached one thousand and three hundred, Goku was still at the lookout and he was preparing to make his way here.
I chatted with all of them and I told them a few my space adventures, they all gasped or laughed at some of my tales, Bulma was looking at me with a blush on her face and she seemed to be shy, well I did grow to be quite a bit more handsome than the original Krillin, and Bulma dug handsome men, but I wasn't interested in her I knew her true personality since she was younger and I could say she was a manipulative woman who would do anything to get her hands on what she wants. She was also quite bitchy and irresponsible. But I couldn't deny she was a genius when it came to tech, it was her only redeeming quality besides her above-average looks.
Goku came a bit later almost when the registered house closed, Piccolo was watching from afar turban and his original outfit on, he was glaring at me and Goku, it seemed Goku interacted with Piccolo when I was away, I could sense his power level while Goku's was now at two thousand and two hundred Piccolo's reached one thousand and nine hundred.
I talked with Goku and it seemed while I was away Piccolo somehow got his hands on the dragon balls and still wished for eternal youth, he did so covertly and when the Z fighters saw the dark sky and Shenron, the wish was already done. I guess I couldn't blame them I didn't kill Pilaf and he still could make a dragon ball radar, I actually couldn't kill him while he was dumb and he had a penchant of trying to rule the world he was quite innocent, from when he firstly fought he didn't truly try to kill, he was trying to incapacitate and take his wish, unfortunately for him, I knocked him out and took the wish for myself.
That was the only time he could have took his wish, we made our way inside the Tenkaichi arena, this year they made it so even spectators could see the preliminaries from outside due to the huge demand.
I levitated while being cross-legged and waited for the preliminaries to start, the other spectators looked strangely at me but after a while of staring they stopped and looked towards the fighting arena's.
I wasn't surprised by what I saw, Tien, Yamcha, Piccolo, and Goku made it to the finals, Mercenary Tao should have been here as well in his cyborg form but I didn't see him. The finals would be Piccolo vs Yamcha and Goku vs Tien.
The fights were interesting, Yamcha tried his best to fight Piccolo, but Piccolo just stretched his arms grabbed him and then broke his spine on his knee, it was quite brutal before Piccolo could do anything else to him I intervened by pushing him away with a bit of invisible ki, he staggered and looked towards me with fear in his eyes.
I took Yamcha away from the stage and fed him a senzu bean which Puar gave me, Yamcha got up and looked at Piccolo with uncontrollable fury in his eyes. I patted him on the back and imparted to him mentally a suited training technique and the Kaioken, I even taught him how to create his stand based on his soul quality, he looked at me with gratitude in his eyes, I just nodded my head to him, humans should stick together.
Goku and Tien fought a bit more than Piccolo and Yamcha but it still ended in Goku's victory after both took their weighted clothes off. The power level difference was just too huge and both their martial arts skills were pretty equal, but Goku being Goku improved all of his techniques in the middle of the fight and adapted.
Piccolo narrowed his eyes at the display unsure of himself if he could take Goku out thoroughly, he knew he was no match for me so the best thing he could do was try to hurt my friends, but with me around he knew there was no chance of that.
The finals began and it was quite a bloody fight, even though there existed a power level difference between Goku and Piccolo, Piccolo had the innate advantage of recovering his injuries at the expense of ki, The fight was long and almost like in the anime, but with Goku coming out on top less injured and the stage not being destroyed. Piccolo closed his eyes, there was no reason for him to live anymore, he was waiting for the final blow.
Goku shouted towards Puar to throw him two senzu beans, Puar was confused at the number but threw them to him anyways. Goku ate one and gave the other to Piccolo, Piccolo was quite stubborn not wanting to take the bean but Goku force-fed him it. Piccolo got up from the ground and glared at Goku.
Goku just smiled and said:
"It would be too bad if you died, the dragon ball's would be gone and I would have one less rival to fight against don't you think?"
Piccolo huffed and said:
"Even without the dragon ball's who else could terrorize this planet with that freak over there watching over it." he pointed towards me and I blushed inwardly, it seemed Piccolo lost all of his thoughts of world domination, I was just too strong and he thought he might never catch up to me. It was kind of true actually.
Goku just laughed at his words, I looked better at Goku and he still had his tail, it seemed Kami decided against cutting it off this time for some reason.
I nodded my head I could still teach Goku the fake moon technique and the mantra to control his inner beast self. Maybe he could even improvise an Ikari mode just like Broly. Goku was still a prodigy even though he wasn't on Broly's level of freakishness.
After the world tournament ended I could see Chi-chi running into Goku's arms as they hugged each other, it seemed nothing deviated much of this couple's destiny. I walked towards Tien and imparted him the special three-eyed clan technique the Kaioken and the way to make a stand mentally.
I did everything I could for them, everything else was on their comprehension ability, a stand power would be based on the comprehensive power of the individual who created it. My stand could go up to fifteen times power level but it would be rare for others to breach ten times. With their talent, I guess Tien could reach up to eight times and Yamcha up to six times.
I walked towards Goku and motioned towards him with my hand that I wanted to talk something with him, he came towards me and I taught him the false moon technique and the controlling mantra, I even gave him a bit of Saiyan history and the truth of his race.
Goku eyes glazed over as he realized he was the one who killed his grandpa and asked me:
"Krillin where do you know all of this?"
I responded towards his question with a lie:
"During my travels in space I found out a bit about your race on the ruins of an ancient planet, it seems that your race is also extinct and there are very few people like you out there."
Goku nodded his head at the new information, he still wasn't over on how he killed his grandpa unknowingly, but suddenly his eyes started to give a determined aura, and he said:
"Thank's for teaching me of my origins Krillin, I will make sure I will never lose my control ever again and train fully in the techniques that you gave me." I nodded my head I didn't teach him the Kaioken but I gave him the stand information as well, with his Saiyan body he might master Ikari faster instead of making a stand and cut off the humongous body of the Oozaru down to size so he wouldn't lose mobility or speed with the increase of ten times power.
Everyone was celebrating Goku's win at a new restaurant that just popped open near the tournament building, I looked around at the owner came at our table, I took a better look at him and he had an afro and a mustache, he was wearing an apron and the uniform of the restaurant. It was Hercule the fraud!
It seemed he realized he wasn't cut for martial arts in this timeline and decided to open up a restaurant here. He immediately started telling us how he admired martial artists and how he wanted to become one himself but realized he wasn't talented, he even wanted to give us the food we would consume on the house but I stopped him. Even though he would have become a phony fraud in the future there was no reason to destroy his new business now as he didn't do anything in this timeline.
The zenni prize increased yet again this year to a five million amount, one million directly went to the bill, Chi-chi looked with wide eyes at Goku's eating habits and she started sweating imagining how much food she would have to cook in the future.
Things were pretty much done on earth and four years of peace were rapidly approaching before Raditz would make his way here to disturb it.
I was pretty much done with being on earth for at least four more years, there was no reason to stay on the planet as I already gave out all the needed training techniques to the core of the Z Fighters. I even taught Chiaotzu some ways to improve his mind and become a better psychic, his body type would never let him become a powerful martial artist, but he could become a very powerful physic as he had good talents for that.
Piccolo knew he could do nothing anymore as well, now in the future maybe he would see the bright side of things and become a good guy because if he remained a bad guy he would be forever lonely even though he was strong. During the earlier sagas, Piccolo liked to be a loner but as he continued to advance in age he realized that being alone wasn't for him. He started to interact more with others and he even became baby Pan's babysitter you would see him everywhere he was needed. Piccolo had a soft heart under his tough look.
Goku sparing him already gave him second thoughts on his path, even though he got his father's memories he wasn't his father. King Piccolo didn't truly reincarnate he just infused his memories and a bit of his will on his progeny.
I decided to talk with Bulma about the scouter's and she agreed to it after a bit of haggling, I gave her the required information which I improved upon, as I got my hands on some Scouters when I killed Turles.
I even gave her some parts so she could find replacements for the materials that weren't on Earth, I didn't know where the materials were mined so I couldn't make my way there to get the metals and required materials to create the scouter. Fortunately, Bulma immediately listed off replacement materials that would work with my formula.
It took her no more than a few hours to create the scouter and she clicked it while looking at me and she gasped as the number on the screen appeared:
"Above three million Krillin you...." she already scanned the other power level on the planet and highest was Goku's. I just made an ssh motion with my finger and closed one eye while smiling mischievously, most of them knew I was way stronger than them but not by how much. It ignited their blood and fighting spirit if they knew there was always someone there stronger than them, it was even more effective if it was someone they knew and grew up personally with. It would make them never relax and give their all in their training.
After we settled the price and how we would share the money I got sixty-three percent, I also opened a bank account and told her just to dump my share in there. Unknowingly to me, the Scouters would change earth's civilization bit after I came back from my four years trip in space.
I prepared my trip and announced all of my friends again of my departure they were sad that I had to leave as soon I came back, but they understood me by now, they knew that I craved adventure and that I already saw everything the earth had to give.
They all started to wave me goodbye in the front of capsule corporations building as my spaceship blasted into the sky, I also gave Bulma some spaceship blueprints and the gravity chamber idea, she should be able to make it with her fathers help.
Suddenly out of nowhere, an irritated voice came into my mind:
"Human who are you and why can you spread my patented technique around I will sue you!" It seemed King Kai realized I was spreading his technique without his approval, maybe he was observing earth when he felt the ki fluctuations of Tien and Yamcha when they trained the Kaioken.
I decided to respond to him by directly teleporting to his planet. The blue humanoid man who wore a cap had sunglasses and a gown with the symbol of north kai on the front gasped and fell on his butt at my sudden appearance and said with a gasp:
"The Yardratians spatial technique?" I nodded my head it seems North Kai knew his stuff as the guardian deity of the north galaxy.
He immediately got up and fixed his glasses and gown and asked with a red face:
"How did you learn my technique?, I never showed it to anyone else"
I described to him my wish using the namekian dragon balls and he nodded his head with a thoughtful look on his face:
"So this wish of yours granted you knowledge of my technique.. hmm, I can't stop you from practicing and using it, whatever I will just take you as a student."
King Kai immediately took me as a student in an attempt to save face knowing he couldn't do anything to me as I was so strong. Since I was his student he offered me his other technique the Spirit Bomb. But I already showed him it and he gasped and sweat trickled off his face as he said:
"Hahaha, how silly of me as you know all the techniques in the universe its obvious you would know the spirit bomb as well hahaha."
I asked him if he wanted anything else and after that took my leave. I left a ki imprint in my spaceship which I could teleport back to with my instant transmission.
It was time for the next grand adventure in space, maybe I could kill some more space pirates?
I turned on the gravity at three hundred and my gravity field at three pushing it to a full nine hundred, I also wore weighted clothing and my body plummeted towards the ground but I immediately started to levitate while staying cross-legged as my golden-white aura started to encase me.
Meditation combined with qi training under the huge stress of gravity and weights would train all the possible aspects of the body and mind at the same time. My healing factor was working tirelessly at repairing my broken bones and torn muscles, strengthening my insides at the same time.
My power level was continuously growing, three million five hundred thousand, six hundred... four million. I stopped at four million and decided that it was time to continue training my techniques.
Unknowingly six months had gone by during my gravity meditation session...
While training my techniques the communicator suddenly beeped as a hazy signal came from a nearby planet, it was full of static as an S.O.S message was sent.
It was time to be a hero again I guess.
