39 Training Time-skip (1/2)
”What?! Goku's body is disappearing!” Master Roshi exclaimed.
”...I know, it was Kami, the Guardian of the Earth, I think you know him. Yes, this is his work, no doubt he has some special purpose in mind for Goku,” Piccolo said.
”Yeah, I'd say he will ask King Yemma to send him to King Kai's planet to train, just like I did,” Tarro said.
”Hey, how was this Raditz guy able to find Goku anyway?” Bulma asked.
”He had a device on his face that could scan and track strong power levels,” Piccolo explained.
”What do you mean he had one, since I can only see burnt parts, did it break in your fight?” Bulma asked, seeing the remains of the scouter.
”Yeah, sorry about that, it explodes when it scans a power level of over 10,000,” Tarro said.
”Wait, Tarro does that mean you have that high of a power level?” Piccolo asked surprised.
”Yeah, but anyway it doesn't matter since I have my own scouter that I modified to be able to read a power level of up to 100,000,” Tarro said.
”Then we can use that to see when the other two Saiyans come and to find Yamcha and Tien!” Krillin said happily.
”Yeah, then let's hurry back to Kame House,” Master Roshi said.
”Yeah, we can't do anything just staying here,” Bulma said.
”And then, I'll head out to collect the Dragon Balls!” Krillin said.
”What are you going to Piccolo?” Master Roshi asked.
After regenerating his arm Piccolo said, ”Be sure to find those Dragon Balls, in the meantime I'll take Goku's son,” Piccolo said.
”What?!” Master Roshi, Krillin and Bulma exclaimed, shocked.
”What, are you gonna do, eat him?!” Krillin yelled.
”Geez, would you guys stop shouting. I think it's a good idea since Gohan managed to knock back Raditz, and if Piccolo trains him he'll be a valuable asset. And it's not like he'll kill him since I'll go and watch them,” Tarro reassured.
”Yeah, and nothing matters except beating those Saiyans, cause if we don't he won't have a mother to come back to,” Piccolo said and lifted up Gohan with his energy and pulled him towards himself.

In Other World
”...and so he has come to receive training from King Kai. Does he have your permission to proceed Great King Enma? Since there is no hope for our planet if Goku does not receive training,” Kami finished explaining and asked.
”Hmm, Son Goku, well you certainly have a service record that would allow you to even attempt to reach King Kai, but are you truly prepared to travel along snake way and risk the hardships that lay ahead?” King Enma asked.
”Yes sir, he is,” Kami said.
”Hmm, very well you have my permission, no go before I change my mind!” King Enma said.
”Thank you! Bye Kami, I guess I'll see you in about a year,” Goku said and ran towards Snake Way.

Back on Earth
”Hey, Kid, you've slept long enough now wake up,” Piccolo said and dropped Gohan into the water.
”Awa, *Koff Koff*” Gohan woke up and started coughing.
”Come on get up there's no time to waste!” Piccolo said angrily.
”Huh, where am I, where's my dad?!” Gohan said, scared.
”He's dead Gohan,” Tarro said.
”Huh, u-uncle Tarro, what do you mean?!” Gohan said.
”He died trying to save you from that guy who kidnapped you. But don't worry, the others are already looking for the Dragon Balls,” Tarro explained.
”Yeah, and in the meantime, you will stay here and undergo my training. Your father and I barely managed to defeat the Saiyan who came here today and we now know that two, even more powerful ones are coming in 1 year. We won't be able to beat them alone, that's why you're going to train so you can fight by our side!” Piccolo explained.
”B-But I'm just a kid, I can't fight with grownups!” Gohan said.
”Hmph, you may not be aware of it now but there is an incredible power within you, waiting to be unlocked. And if you can control it, you will become one of the strongest fighters on Earth,” Piccolo said.
”N-No, your wrong, I don't have any powers!” Gohan said back, scared.
”Hmph, let me show you,” Piccolo said and grabbed him by his head.
”Hey, don't just throw him, let me do it,” Tarro said and grabbed Gohan out of Piccolo's grip.
