"I can't make your tail grow back, but I can remove the divine power sealing it," Kami answered, then asked with some uncertainty, "But Goku, are you really planning to let your tail grow back? That guy Vegeta was right—you'll lose your mind when you transform into a Great Ape."
"Not anymore," Son Goku laughed heartily. "Just hurry up and remove the divine power sealing my tail..."
At this point, Son Goku scratched his head with some frustration.
Back then, I actually used such a stupid method and forcibly ripped my tail out.
Just thinking about it hurts!
So the reason my tail wouldn't grow back was because it was sealed by Kami's divine power.
Wait a minute!
Vegeta's tail... in the timeline that belonged to me, it seemed like Yajirobe cut it off with one slash.
But Vegeta never grew his tail back after that either.
"Kami-sama, can you seal my tail from far away?" Son Goku suddenly realized something about Vegeta's tail and quickly asked Kami.
"What do you mean?" Kami was startled.
"For example, if I'm at home, can you seal my tail from here at the Lookout?" Son Goku asked.
"Yes, I can. I only need to cover your tail with invisible divine power, and it's quite easy to do," Kami nodded.
Son Goku finally understood.
So Vegeta never grew his tail back because Kami had secretly sealed it.
Counting the timeline, it was most likely after Vegeta died and was revived on Earth. Kami, worried he would cause trouble, secretly sealed his tail so it wouldn't grow back.
After that, the matter was simply forgotten.
That's why neither Vegeta nor I ever grew our tails back.
"Please remove the seal, Kami-sama," Son Goku urged.
"It's already done," Kami smiled.
"Huh? It's already done? I didn't see you do anything," Son Goku was stunned.
"There's nothing to do. I just needed to disperse that bit of divine power from before," Kami replied with a smile.
"Excellent!" Son Goku was overjoyed and couldn't help rubbing his hands together. "So does that mean my tail will suddenly grow back like it did when I was a kid?"
"Pretty much," Kami nodded.
"Thank you, Kami. I'll be going now," Son Goku waved goodbye.
"Whoosh!"
Son Goku vanished from the spot in an instant.
...
A Certain Wasteland.
"Why do you keep following me?" Piccolo glared at Gohan, who was trailing behind him, and said irritably.
Gohan pressed his index fingers together, head lowered, looking a bit wronged.
"You should hurry home! Your mother's calling you back for dinner!" Piccolo snorted.
"I want to train with Uncle Piccolo," Gohan mustered his courage, clenched his fists, and said to Piccolo.
"Don't be ridiculous! Your dad has already become so strong—you should train with him!" Piccolo rolled his eyes and said huffily. "Besides, didn't you say your dream is to become a great scholar? What's the point of training now? Plus, the Saiyans have already been defeated!"
"Well..." Gohan mumbled for a long time, not knowing what to say.
"Whoosh!"
Just then, Son Goku used Instant Transmission and appeared on the scene in an instant.
"Dad!" Gohan was overjoyed and immediately threw himself into his father's embrace.
Son Goku picked up Gohan and placed him on his shoulder.
"Son Goku!" Piccolo felt somewhat bitter inside.
In less than a year, Son Goku's strength had improved at an astonishing rate.
"Piccolo, how about I take you somewhere to train?" Son Goku asked with a smile.
"Somewhere to train? Where?" Piccolo was startled.
"King Kai's planet. The gravity there is ten times that of Earth. Training on that planet will definitely give you twice the results with half the effort!" Son Goku laughed heartily.
"King Kai's planet?" Piccolo raised an eyebrow and asked strangely, "Isn't that place... only accessible to the dead?"
"Don't worry, I know Instant Transmission. I can take you there," Son Goku said with a smile.
Piccolo fell silent.
After a brief moment of blankness.
Piccolo looked deeply at Son Goku and asked with a smile, "Son Goku, you need to understand something—having me train and get stronger is very disadvantageous for you! Don't forget, my ultimate goal is to eliminate you and rule this world again!"
"Hahaha, Piccolo, you're hilarious," Son Goku laughed heartily and couldn't help patting Piccolo's body.
"Bam!"
Piccolo flew straight out and planted face-first into the ground, rolling over a dozen times.
When he finally stopped, Piccolo spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling completely out of sorts.
Gohan was scared stiff, his face turning pale.
"Uncle Piccolo!" Gohan cried out.
"Ah... Piccolo, I'm really sorry! My strength is too great—I accidentally sent you flying," Son Goku was shocked and quickly went forward to pull Piccolo up.
Piccolo felt like his entire body had fallen apart, indescribably uncomfortable.
"I know! I'll find someone to heal you, and you'll recover right away!" Son Goku said, immediately grabbing Piccolo, then instructing Gohan, "Gohan, don't move!"
"Yes, Dad," Gohan nodded.
"Let go of me! I don't need healing! This little injury is nothing to me!" Piccolo gritted his teeth, so angry that steam came out of his nostrils.
"Alright then, never mind," Son Goku released Piccolo.
"Are you planning to beat me to death and then send me to King Kai?" Piccolo asked with a dark expression.
Son Goku: "..."
"You can go there without dying," Son Goku replied.
"Hmph, thanks for the offer. Let's go then," Piccolo nodded.
"Dad... I also want to train with Uncle Piccolo," Gohan clenched his fists and said stubbornly.
"Gohan wants to train too? Alright then, you can go together," Son Goku didn't object and used Instant Transmission with Piccolo and Gohan.
"Whoosh!"
In the blink of an eye, Son Goku appeared on King Kai's planet with Piccolo and Gohan.
As soon as Piccolo and Gohan appeared, they felt a powerful pressure rushing toward them.
Piccolo gritted his teeth, struggling not to let his body bend.
Gohan, however, accidentally fell flat on the ground, his body pressed tight against the earth.
"King Kai-sama, I'm back," Son Goku waved at King Kai in greeting.
King Kai: "..."
"King Kai-sama, I brought Piccolo and my son Gohan here to train. You don't mind, do you?" Son Goku added.
King Kai's face had turned black as coal.
You've already brought them here, and now you're asking if I mind?
That's very rude, you know!
"Since you don't mind, I'll bring a few more people over," Son Goku laughed heartily, then added, "Krillin and the others need to get stronger too!"
