Facing Kami's request, Bardock agreed, but he didn't plan to handle it himself. Instead, he intended to let Goku take care of it. Under Bardock's training, Goku had become very strong, with a power level already exceeding 10,000.
However, it would still take some time for Goku to reach his explosive growth phase, as he was still quite young at this time. Even so, Goku was far more powerful than Vegeta was at the same age.
By the time Vegeta and the others arrived on Earth, they would probably be shocked. After all, at that time, Goku would begin to grow wildly, and it was only a matter of time before he became a Super Saiyan.
Currently, due to his young age, Goku's power level increase wasn't as dramatic, but surpassing 10,000 at this age was already impressive. Bardock intended to let Goku use King Piccolo for practice.
However, instead of calling it training, it was more like a bullying weakling, as King Piccolo is very weak compared to Goku.
By the way, Goku now only had one name: Kakarot. He was no longer known as Goku. Since it was Bardock who had raised him, not Grandpa Gohan, there was no reason to give him another name. Kakarot was sufficient.
"Dad, is that guy our enemy? But he seems pretty weak!"
Because Dragon Ball had different storylines, the current Goku was more like the Super Dragon Ball Heroes Goku, who was naturally kind-hearted without needing a head injury. However, he wasn't overly kind…
Bardock and Gine's education had been very successful, and Goku now had his own sense of right and wrong. He knew the difference between good and evil. When faced with good, he would show his kind side. When faced with evil, he would be decisive and ruthless.
This was what made Bardock most proud, as Goku wasn't blindly naive. After all, blind naivety could lead to unpredictable consequences. So now Bardock was very pleased.
"That's right, it's him. His power may be weak, but he's still a threat to this planet. So, it's up to you. Kill him!"
Bardock spoke, revealing Kami's plan. This time, Kami also intended to die himself. He planned to pass everything on to Mr. Popo, who was qualified to become the new Guardian of Earth.
Therefore, Kami asked Bardock to have King Piccolo killed, which would result in his own death.
But Kami felt he had lived long enough. And leaving such a menace unchecked was unacceptable.
With his father's command, Goku immediately dashed down and confronted King Piccolo. At this moment, King Piccolo was forcing the King to surrender his throne via a live broadcast. The sudden appearance of a child surprised him.
"Where did this brat come from? Get lost!"
Seeing a kid daring to stand in his way made King Piccolo extremely annoyed, and he kicked at Goku, intending to kill him instantly.
"Dad said you're a bad guy, so I'm here to deal with you!"
Goku calmly dodged the attack, which made Piccolo laugh in anger.
"Little friend, you better leave this place quickly. This guy isn't someone you can handle!"
The King, a beastman but a good ruler, warned Goku.
Seeing a little kid like Goku actually standing up against King Piccolo, the King felt his heart sink. He couldn't let a child die here!
"Dad said that I only need to kill him, so it's fine!"
Goku didn't say much more and chose to attack. With power level of ten thousand compared to a few hundred, they were on entirely different levels. Goku launched a punch so fast that King Piccolo couldn't even react before one of his arms was severed.
"How can it be!"
Realizing his arm was severed, King Piccolo was stunned. He wondered how could this happen so quickly. Moreover, this child could injure him. King Piccolo was both shocked and furious.
Although Goku didn't have a rice cooker to use the Mafuba, he could still overpower Piccolo easily.
King Piccolo was genuinely frightened now. He wanted to ask if the world had become so terrifying while he was sealed. After all, such a powerful child had actually appeared in front of him. King Piccolo never expected a kid could be this strong, and he couldn't comprehend it.
After quickly regenerating his arm, Piccolo felt that it was a fluke, so he attacked Goku again, but Goku wasn't going to waste time. Another punch from him created a massive hole in King Piccolo's body.
This King Piccolo wasn't like the later Piccolo who could infinitely regenerate as long as his head was intact. With such a severe wound, King Piccolo was near death.
"Impossible, this can't be happening. How can there be such a powerful child in this world, wait... a child, that's it!"
Even if King Piccolo didn't want to accept it, he knew that he is already dead, so he directly opened his mouth, spitting out a huge egg. This was how Namekians reproduced.
King Piccolo infused all his essence into the egg, believing that while he couldn't defeat Goku, his offspring could one day handle this monstrous child.
Similar to the original storyline, King Piccolo was defeated by Goku, but this time, when he spat out an egg before dying, Bardock took the egg, intending to leave it for Kami to handle.
"Kakarot, let's go. Next time, don't drag it out. Just finish your opponent quickly!"
Burdock said that the battle is still a lot more tender.If you want to kill, don't force it, just do it and it's over.
Bardock said, emphasizing the importance of decisiveness in battle.
Compared to Bardock, the original Goku was much less decisive. Goku was known for prolonging fights and only using his full power when absolutely necessary, often transforming gradually.
Bardock, on the other hand, was ruthless and efficient. In the original story, his approach was clear: he never hesitated to eliminate threats.
It can be seen in the original work, although his strength was nothing in front of Frieza at the beginning, this does not prevent him from acting decisively.
