Goku looked at Chi-Chi and Bulma with satisfaction.
"Now that you two have strength, you must also learn how to control your energy. Otherwise, uncontrolled Ki could easily hurt innocent people."
"Goku, come and guide our training!" Bulma suggested with a smile.
In her opinion, Goku's strength was so great that he was more than capable of training them.
Chi-Chi nodded eagerly. "Yes, that's right! Goku, you can guide our training!"
"Alright," Goku agreed. "It'll take about a month for you two to master Ki control. After that, you can continue training on your own."
In Goku's mind, it was enough for Chi-Chi and Bulma to learn control.
In future battles, they wouldn't need to fight alongside him — just having enough power to protect themselves was enough.
Meanwhile, on the other side of Earth, Vegeta was training inside a spaceship under four hundred times gravity.
The ship had been borrowed from Bulma.
For some reason, when Vegeta asked her for it, he'd felt a strange sensation — one he couldn't explain. In the end, he dismissed it.
Right now, Vegeta only cared about surpassing Kakarot. Nothing else mattered.
Dripping with sweat, Vegeta gritted his teeth as he did push-ups under the crushing gravity. "Just wait, Kakarot. I'll surpass you for sure."
He had already begun to glimpse a new path beyond Super Saiyan — a way to go even further.
If he just followed the same routine, he would never surpass Kakarot, and that thought enraged him.
"Ahhh!" Vegeta roared, transforming into a Super Saiyan.
Golden flames erupted around him as his training grew even more intense.
Under this form, four hundred times gravity no longer felt as crushing.
While Vegeta pushed himself, the other Z Warriors also trained at their own pace.
No one knew what enemies might appear in the future.
With Goku around, the Earth was safe — but each of them still needed to be strong enough to protect themselves.
In a remote area, Piccolo floated cross-legged in the air, eyes closed in meditation.
Waves of energy pulsed from his body as he focused.
Suddenly, a cheerful voice called out. "Uncle Piccolo!"
Piccolo opened his eyes. Gohan was flying toward him with two Spirit Tree fruits in his hands.
"My father said that if you eat this fruit, it'll increase your power," Gohan explained, offering one to him.
Piccolo frowned slightly. "Eating fruit can increase combat strength?"
It sounded absurd. But if Goku said it, there must be truth to it.
Without hesitation, Piccolo took the fruit and swallowed it in one gulp.
In an instant, his energy expanded wildly. He stared at his own hands in disbelief.
"This… is incredible. Just one fruit, and my power has really grown."
The increase wasn't massive for him, but it was still noticeable. If someone weaker ate these fruits, the effect would be staggering.
Gohan grinned. "See? How is it, Uncle Piccolo? My mom ate one too, and now she's almost as strong as me!"
Piccolo nodded. "It works. But the stronger you already are, the less it helps. For weaker fighters, the boost is huge."
He gave Gohan a rare smile. "Go on, eat yours too."
"Yes, Uncle Piccolo! I can't wait!" Gohan quickly stuffed the fruit into his mouth.
The moment he swallowed, his body swelled with power, then returned to normal.
Piccolo observed carefully. "The effect is about the same as mine."
"Congratulations, Gohan. You're even stronger now."
"Congratulations to you too, Uncle Piccolo!" Gohan beamed.
His power had doubled instantly, soaring from just over two million to nearly four million. The growth was outrageous.
For weaker fighters, the fruit of the Spirit Tree was a miracle.
For stronger ones, its effect was much smaller — unless the fruit came from a planet with far greater energy.
