As he watched all his attacks being blocked by John, and without suffering any harm, Piccolo was terrified and took a few steps back, his eyes widening in shock as he looked at John. It was as if the person before him was the Great Demon King, and he, the true Great Demon King, was just a pitiful little lamb.
However, he quickly realized his own mental state and noticed that he, the Great Demon King of the Earth, was actually afraid of a human. He was filled with anger and humiliation, and shouted, "Damn you, you bastard! I'll kill you!"
After saying this, Piccolo roared, and his aura suddenly exploded. He then clasped his hands together and smirked, "Die! I'll kill you all, and you'll all be my funeral offerings."
Realizing Piccolo's raging aura, John immediately understood his intentions and shouted, "Be careful, everyone! Piccolo is going to self-destruct!"
At the same time, John assumed the stance of the Kamehameha, and a massive aura gathered in his hands. He then pushed it forward, and the powerful energy wave clashed with Piccolo's raging aura, rushing towards him.
At that moment, Piccolo had not yet finished gathering his energy. Seeing the powerful energy wave coming towards him, he felt an intense sense of impending death.
Piccolo realized that if he didn't dodge, he would most likely be killed. So, he immediately stopped gathering his energy, jumped upwards, and tried to evade the energy wave that John had launched.
The powerful energy wave grazed the bottom of Piccolo's feet and then hit a small island in the distance, causing a deafening explosion.
Piccolo turned his head to look at the towering explosion, and his heart sank. He understood that if he hadn't dodged just now, there would have only been one outcome: death by the energy wave.
Piccolo immediately realized his current situation: he couldn't defeat this guy named John. If he continued like this, he would still be defeated.
So, the best outcome now was for him to escape immediately, gather the Dragon Balls as mentioned by that human, and then wish to regain his youth. He believed that once he regained his youthful state, he would be able to defeat this guy.
With his decision made, Piccolo turned and intended to fly towards the aircraft in the sky.
However, just at that moment, a light wheel-like object suddenly flew towards him. Before he could react, Piccolo was sliced in half by the light wheel.
It was John who, upon noticing that Piccolo had dodged his Kamehameha, immediately launched a Kikoho towards him.
Piccolo, terrified by John's strength and contemplating his future, didn't notice the Kikoho that John had fired. By the time he saw the Kikoho flying towards him, it was too late to dodge.
And so, the flashy Piccolo Daimao, who had not yet caused any harm to the Earth, was pinned down by John and then sliced in half by the Kikoho.
"Damn it! Is this how I'm going to die? I refuse to accept this!" Piccolo's heart screamed in agony.
The upper half of his body began to gather energy, and an egg formed in his mouth. Piccolo concentrated all his life force and energy into this egg, and with his final effort, he spat the egg out into the distance.
Piccolo looked at the egg, which held all his hopes, with longing in his eyes, and said, "Son, you must train hard. In the future, avenge your father and kill all humans!"
After saying this, Piccolo, having exhausted all his energy, exploded in the air, turning into ashes.
John stood on the ground, seeing that Piccolo had indeed spat out an egg. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Finally, this Piccolo wasn't stupid and had spat out Piccolo Jr. instead. Otherwise, Kami would have died as well, and the subsequent plot would have been difficult to develop.
Everyone saw the seemingly invincible Piccolo Daimao being killed by John, and they were overjoyed, especially Master Roshi. He had personally experienced the period when Piccolo Daimao ruled the Earth.
Master Roshi looked at John with relief and said, "John, I never imagined that your strength would progress so quickly. Even Piccolo Daimao was eliminated by you."
"You've done what many others, including me, couldn't do. You've saved the world."
Hearing Master Roshi's words, John walked over and said, "Master, please don't say that. Why do we train in martial arts? Besides strengthening our bodies, it's also to help others when we encounter injustice."
"Good, very good, John. I declare that you have completed your training. From now on, I won't be able to teach you anymore, Master John." Master Roshi even bowed to John, showing respect for his current martial arts prowess.
The others followed Master Roshi's lead and bowed to John, respectfully calling out, "Master John!"
Seeing everyone's solemnity, John quickly returned the bow. After the bowing, John said, "Everyone, please continue to call me John. And Master, even though I've completed my training, I'm still your disciple. From time to time, I'll visit you to seek your guidance. Please don't lock the door and keep me out!"
John's playful words lightened the atmosphere, and Master Roshi said, "I can't promise that. With your appetite, if you don't bring money, I won't dare let you in! Haha..."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Krillin suddenly asked Master Roshi, "Master Mutaito, can you tell us about Piccolo Daimao? We've defeated him, but we don't even know his background."
Hearing Krillin's question, everyone except John perked up their ears, wanting to hear Master Roshi's story about who this Piccolo Daimao really was.
Seeing his disciples' interest, and with Piccolo already dead, the burden that had weighed on Master Roshi's heart for several decades was finally lifted.
So, Master Roshi was in a good mood and began to tell everyone about how powerful Piccolo Daimao was back then, how he ruled the world, and how he was eventually sealed away.
Everyone had a great time that night, and the next day, they set off on their respective journeys.
Master Roshi went back to Kame House with Launch and Krillin, while Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu left to train for the upcoming World Martial Arts Tournament.
John, Bulma, Goku, and Yamcha returned to West City. Goku planned to continue training with John in Bulma's new gravity training room.
However, just as John eliminated Piccolo and Piccolo spat out Piccolo Jr., Korin received a divine message and summoned John and Goku to the Lookout.
