Few months passed by as Raditz kept up his training, he also made it up to Bulma and passed his qualification rounds thanks to Satan.
And just like that, he was again closer to the inevitable day Vegeta and Nappa were set to arrive.
* Splash *
Taking his head out of water, Raditz took in much needed air, he was underwater for 30 minutes straight, but he didn't train with Pie pie for a quiet a while now.
* Splash *
Another head popped out of the sea, it was Pie pie's and she seemed to be taking it easy with one of her hands carrying something big and white.
" Where are you going? Have you taken care of the shark? It's been disturbing us a lot recently. "
Pie pie swam near Raditz and asked with concern, her left hand moving around to show how anxious she was and her right was carrying something close to her.
" I took care of it, it won't disturb you guys any longer. "
Patting Pie pie on the cheek Raditz looked at what she was carrying and smiled.
Pie pie also smiled and held it closer to her chest.
" It needs warm water right now, I can't move away from it, I really wanted you to stay, what if there is any danger? "
She asked with her emotions again going haywire, she was in a strange state right now but Raditz had seen it before so he wasn't surprised.
" I trained Cabba in underwater combat, he is guarding the cave, it's safe with him just tell him what to do. "
Sighing with relief, Pie pie wiped the water stains off Raditz and said begrudgingly.
" Just come back quickly, I don't like that Cabba, he is like one of those weeds, I sense no intelligence in it's eyes. "
Nodding his head, Raditz slowly began to float out of the water.
His armour was already on because he knew today was the world martial arts tournament and he needed to be there.
" I am going to look over a tournament, my lookalike is fighting in my stead but I might step in if he needs it. "
Pointing towards the cave dwelling they spent a lot of time in, Raditz said.
" I have set up a waterproof TV in there, it's connected to capsule corp satellites, you can watch me in action, channel name is Raditz live. "
Nodding her head, Pie pie gave a smile and settled her grip on her treasure correctly.
" I would have come but I can't leave the water right now, it needs to stay in here otherwise it might not hatch. "
Raditz waved his hand without any problems, he knew how mermaid eggs functioned long ago from Pie pie.
After the egg was laid Pie pie has to protect it for around 9 months, she had gotten extremely protective right now because of this.
Nobody can come close to her hideout expect her and Raditz.
" I know, just cheer me from here, I'll know you are watching me. "
" Okay! Come back soon! "
* Wissh *
With a lot of water splashing over her face Pie pie watched Raditz fly away and brought her attention back to the egg.
Patting it once she gave a gentle smile and dropped back into the ocean.
* Woooosh *
Flying through the air Raditz's first destination wasn't the tournament but the Z fighters, he was going to the lookout.
Raditz didn't expect time would pass so quickly, but he didn't waste any of it either, bringing his hand towards his face, he clicked on the scouter.
* Beep *
* Beep *
* Beep *
" 10,008? That's an 8 increase for today, well it's only the morning. "
Watching his power level grow to reach ten thousand plus was an amazing sight.
It wasn't only his power level that grew, he had gotten a lot of practice with ultra instinct, he still can't use it but he was getting the hang of it at least.
" Let's see if the Z fighters are interested in the tournament at all, or do they want to train themselves for the upcoming threat. "
While that was something which he expected the Z fighters to do, Raditz still wanted to ask at least.
And Bulma would be meeting him on the lookout as well, he has to pick her up for the tournament, she was very interested in going.
After flying at full speed for half and hour, Raditz reached the korin tower, flying right into the clouds he finally reached the lookout.
* Woooosh *
* Tap *
Stepping on the white tiles of the structure, Raditz showed his ki fully and thus attracted attention almost immediately.
" Hey! Raditz, long time no see man! "
Krillin who was meditating opened his eyes and jumped up enthusiastically.
But Raditz's scouter blinked into action immediately.
* Beep *
* Beep *
* Beep *
" 7050?! The hell did you do? "
The increase from his previous power level was absurd, what did Krillin even go through to attain this!
