Pushing

I was placed in the same bracket as Chiaotzu, which meant not only had my place not be manipulated, i would also fight Mercenary Tao. Which would be easy enough for me, but would leave Chaiotzu still knocked out by Tao. When I was called up to fight I nearly killed my opponent. Making me realize I would need to transfer my ki from my clone to my main body. So using the excuse of using the bathroom I met up with my main body.

I lowered my clones power to that closer to Goku's current power. It was still double his power level. Except if I punched someone they wouldn't die. I watched the battles go on relatively normally. Goku eventually made his way to me though.

"How did you decrease your power? You were much stronger earlier!"

So Goku did have ki sense, it was just not very accurate. It seemed he could tell I was stronger, but how much stronger.

"I transferred my ki, that way I wouldn't accidentally kill anyone. That's all."

My powerlevel was separated between my clones. If I created a new Clone it would split the powerlevel of the main body. However the ki would then become a separate source than the original. So I could train one body to have a higher ki than the amount it had split from. Transferring my ki between bodies would allow me to increase or decrease my ki to any amount I wanted.

Goku seemed think on my answer, he didn't know how it worked. However using his ki sense it seemed he could still sense my ki in my main body and the increase it was given. "Alright that makes sense I suppose, I hope you still have enough to give a good fight!"

"I do, after all I do plan on winning."

He looked around and whispered to me though. *Do you think you have enough power to beat Piccolo Junior as well? I can't tell how strong he is.*

"Yeah I have enough, so do you though. Don't worry just focus on the preliminaries."

Mercenary Tao had struck Chaiotzu down. Goku who had expect me to be the one to fight Chaiotzu had look to see who hit him. With his scream they look to the fight I had already expected. Tao had begun his mocking of Tien. Only to have Goku recognize Tao seconds later.

"You are Mercenary Tao! You bastard."

"Tien, Goku! Don't interact with dead men. He will be my opponent and its best to leave him to me. After all if he can't beat a stranger, he would never be able to beat you two."

"You, will you avenge Chiaotzu?"

"Tien, my dude! Its not like he's dead. He will recover, so yes vengence will be easy."

"You can't ignore me! It seems I will take care of you first. The first to die by my hand."

"Killing is strictly prohibited!"

"Don't worry ref! No killing will occur. See you late Tao."

I turned my back on him to provoke him, I would beat him here and capture him later. The first of the Martian prisoners I would use to cultivate senzu beans and other plants. I could already feel the smile on my face widening with my plan.

I sat against a wall near Piccolo. I knew he wouldn't do anything, but I was surprised to hear him talk to me.

"You could kill everyone here couldn't you?"

I wasn't sure what he was asking, I technically could. It would go down very well and I would get anything I wanted so I answered truthfully.

"Yeah, but that would be pointless I wouldn't achieve anything. Pure destruction doesn't help the universe. A lot of the current universe is shit, I got a few plans to fix them. However I have to get you lot in working order."

"You lot. You are including me in your plans?"

"We both know Goku wasn't gonna kill you, no offense but you care much more about getting stronger than conquering the world. Making you a lot less evil than your father."

"Hmph. Would you tell me what problems need fixing if I asked?"

"No."

With that he stayed silent until he had to fight again. When he left Krillin had come over to me. I guess it was ask me questions time.

"Who is that guy? Goku and Tien won't actually tell me and they are freaked out about him."

"He's a friend you haven't made yet."

"Are you saying for me to go make friends with him?"

"No, he shares the drive to get stronger you lot all have. Krillin your future will be you constantly being out-shined by beings tougher, faster, and over all better than you. Do you want to know how you are one of the best fighters in the universe?"

"That sounds like you know the future and you are being cryptic about it. So the answer is who wouldn't want to know!"

"Goku isn't human, Picolo isn't human, hell Tien isn't human. You alone are the strongest human alive, if you and master Roshi fought would you win?"

"I don't understand, that was a lot of information, let me process that."

Krillin slouched down next to me, the guy really was a dwarf as when he crouched he looked like a child. Short people have it rough... Suddenly he jumped up again.

"I would be able to beat My Master. Are you saying I am the Strongest human? Wait doesn't that make you human and what about Yamcha why do you hate him?"

"First I don't hate Yamcha, I just think he is stupid. He trains to try and keep up with you guys, but he is bad at it. Which left him to fail with his relationship with Bulma and ultimately anything he will do in life. He is left in the dust when it comes to ability, that girl over there is stronger than him and she hasn't trained as much as he has."

Krillin looked at Chi-Chi and looked back at me.

"Are you saying Yamcha has no talent?"

"Yes and no, He is terrible in comparison. If that girl doesn't train as much as Yamcha, but is stronger. If one were to train all earthlings in martial arts...How many would be better than Yamcha? Is he strong because he trains or is he strong because no else trains? Do you get what I mean?"

"I guess, your essentially saying that Yamcha can get stronger, but no matter what the people around him will be stronger. How does that relate to me though being the strongest human?"

"Currently the list of humans in power is you, the turtle hermit, that girl, then Yamcha. Everyone else you know isn't human or is human with special powers like Chiaotzu. After all, I know where both the green guy is from and where Goku is from. You remember Goku had a tail correct?"

"How do you know that?"

"I know everything, point is that tail meant he wasn't human. So despite everything you Krillin are the strongest human."

"You asked me if I wanted to know how I would become one of the strongest in the universe...How do I do it?"

"Pure Skill. Goku picks of techniques like its nothing, except he isn't the only one. I bet dollars to donuts if you tried right now using your ki you could feel a massive amount of ki sitting outside."

"Sense Ki? Is that even possible?"

"Of course Goku can do it, why wouldn't you be able?"

Krillin sat down and just stopped talking. Thank god too, because I was running out of bullshit to say to get him off the subject of Piccolo. I also got him to start thinking about his limits, I wanted to push Krillin to ask me about training so I could get him strong enough to not die anymore. After all I would be using the dragon balls a lot and i didn't want any useless resurrection wishes. This would like mean Goku wouldn't achieve super sayian, but i had a idea for that.

I did get a laugh when Piccolo went else where when he saw Krillin siting where he once was standing. I would need to fight Tao soon, then the preliminaries would be done for me.
