Chapter 201 Hunting Piccolo!
"If I'm not mistaken, this guy is Piccolo Daimaō's subordinate!"
Upon hearing Rod's question, Master Roshi nodded, and then spoke with a hint of melancholy in his expression.
When he thought of Piccolo, he thought of his master, Butaito.
His master, Mutaito, sacrificed himself to seal away Piccolo Daimaō, who was bringing disaster to the entire Earth. The battle at that time was extremely fierce.
However, that was in the past. Now, Earth is teeming with experts and powerful individuals, making it far more difficult for Piccolo Daimaō to run rampant.
In a moment of reflection, Master Roshi earnestly recounted to everyone the story of Piccolo Daimaō's past threats to Earth.
"Grandpa Master Roshi, is King Piccolo strong?"
Upon learning that Mutaito had sacrificed himself to seal Piccolo Daimaō, Goku became extremely interested in this great demon king who had attempted to rule the world.
"Yeah, it was really impressive for us back then! But now, it's just so-so."
Facing the innocent young Goku, Master Roshi stroked his beard, smiled, and spoke with remarkable eloquence.
"Piccolo the Great Demon King? That name sounds really imposing!"
Raditz, standing to the side, repeated the name and couldn't help but speak up, seemingly showing some interest as well.
Immediately afterward, he carefully sensed the auras of the powerful beings currently existing on Earth, and his face was filled with astonishment: "That Demon King is indeed powerful; I couldn't even sense his presence!"
"Ha, cough cough!"
Upon hearing Raditz's words, Rod, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, couldn't help but burst out laughing. However, realizing his lapse in composure, he quickly coughed twice to cover it up.
Piccolo isn't too strong, he's just too weak.
Raditz thought he couldn't sense the other's aura because Piccolo Daimaō's aura was too weak and he simply ignored it.
"Is it that powerful?"
Raditz's words brought a flicker of excitement to Goku's face. After carefully sensing the surroundings, he nodded solemnly, "Indeed impressive! I couldn't sense anything!"
"Hey, Kakarot, what do you mean by that? Are you saying I'm inferior to you?"
As soon as Little Goku finished speaking, it seemed to have an unspoken meaning, and Raditz immediately questioned him in displeasure.
"Haha, no way, bro, you're overthinking it!"
Seeing Raditz's displeasure, Goku chuckled, somewhat helplessly.
He knew that Raditz was somewhat bothered by his loss to him on the dueling ring.
However, at this moment, Bardock, who had been silent all along, glanced at everyone and said quietly, "Is it possible that the so-called Piccolo Daimaō isn't too strong, but rather too weak, which is why you've all overlooked him?"
Having lived on Earth for so long, Bardock had become quite adept at controlling and mastering the air over the years, and he considered his perception abilities to be quite good.
If Piccolo Daimaō is really as strong as his two foolish sons say, then it's impossible that no one could sense him breaking free of his seal.
After all, even if this person has excellent control over his qi, he has been sealed for countless years, and when he is freed, he certainly won't hide himself.
In such a situation, if the opponent is really strong, one should be able to sense the situation to some extent.
Since it wasn't detected, there's only one possibility.
That means the other party was too weak, so weak that they were far from being able to arouse my vigilance, which is why I didn't notice them.
"Alright, you'll find out the truth for yourselves!"
Bardock's words were followed by a smile from Rhodes, who addressed the group, "Let's go find King Piccolo! Whoever finds and defeats him first will receive a reward. You can ask me for anything reasonable!"
As soon as Rhodes finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up, and even Ella, who was standing to the side, was eager to try.
"Aye?"
Seeing that Ella was about to move, Rod reached out and grabbed her, saying with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to find that Piccolo Daimaō too. Anyway, you didn't say I couldn't participate!"
When Rhodes grabbed her and questioned her, Ella answered with an air of self-righteousness.
Faced with Ella's words, Rod was speechless: "With your strength, isn't it a bit too much to involve yourself?"
"Is there?"
Upon hearing Rhodes's words, Ella belatedly remarked, "What if that Piccolo Demon King is really powerful? Wouldn't they easily be defeated?"
"Alright, stop fooling around. That guy's weak; those little brats could easily take him down!"
Seeing Ella's serious expression, Rod immediately began to explain.
"Hehehe, I know!"
As Rhodes finished explaining, Ella's serious expression suddenly changed, and she laughed lightly before saying, "That Piccolo Daimaō isn't the same Piccolo from that parallel world, right?"
"Well, Piccolo can be called Piccolo's descendant, or you could say he's a descendant of Piccolo."
Upon hearing Ella's words, Rod nodded and briefly recounted the origins of Bick.
"It seems Goku and that Kroos are on good terms?"
After learning about Piccolo's origins, and recalling how familiar Piccolo seemed with Kakarot, he couldn't help but ask this question.
Faced with this question, Rhodes didn't seem too concerned: "Whatever. Every parallel world is different. Maybe Piccolo doesn't even exist in our world. Let nature take its course."
If it were when he first awakened his memories, Rod might have cared a lot about Piccolo's existence, but now that so many years have passed, he no longer cares.
Whether it exists or not, it has no impact on it.
"Is that so?"
Upon hearing Rhodes's words, Ella muttered something to herself, but didn't react much.
Anyway, she and Piccolo had only met in a previous parallel world, and they didn't even have much interaction, let alone any real friendship.
While the two were talking, Goku, Raditz, and the others had already launched a grand operation to hunt down King Piccolo.
Firstly, I wanted to see just how strong Piccolo Daimaō, with such a great reputation, really was.
Another reason is that Rhodes promised to grant a reasonable request.
In everyone's eyes, Rhodes was practically omnipotent, and such a condition was very tempting to everyone.
Goku wants to fight more powerful opponents, while Raditz wants to receive further guidance from Rod.
Bardock, despite his greatly increased strength, was surpassed by his two sons. Where did the old father's dignity go?
Therefore, he also wanted to communicate with Rod.
Krillin, Lazuli, and the other kids are a bit behind Goku in strength, and they want Rod to teach them a powerful technique or point them in the right direction to become stronger.
In short, everyone has their own thoughts and ideas.
Therefore, Piccolo Daimaō suddenly became everyone's hunting target.
