Kibito Kai had not yet returned, so Old Supreme Kai began to help Bulla develop her potential.
Meanwhile, Trunks could only watch with Giru, unable to do anything.
In front of them was a crystal ball Old Supreme Kai had left for them to relieve boredom.
It allowed them to observe the situation in the lower realm, such as events on Earth.
Beryl, on the other hand, had run off to lean against a distant tree trunk and took a nap.
Anyway, she didn't need to pay too much attention to the matters here; she was more concerned about the Cell Games.
At this moment, in the Cell Games.
After an intense struggle, Gohan and Cell both sustained injuries.
No, to be more precise, Cell, who had some scratches, had the more severely injured Gohan pinned under his foot.
He was also shouting:
"Get angry, Gohan! If you don't get angry, I'll kill you!"
[Kumoko: "How tragic, being kicked around like a soccer ball. By the way, do Piccolo and Goku really have a plan?"]
Kumoko was quite speechless; several strong men were just watching from the sidelines.
Leaving a child to fight Cell.
What were they thinking?
Although the child was very strong, he was still young!
[Shana: "@Vegeta, Mr. Vegeta, is it really alright for you to just watch?"]
[Kurapika: "If this continues, the child might be beaten to death."]
[Vegeta: "Kakarot isn't worried, so why should I be? Even if he dies, there are Dragon Balls. Besides, Kakarot and King Yemma have a pretty good relationship."]
[Everyone: "..."]
Alright, Vegeta, what you said makes a lot of sense.
Now that they think about it, Cell is quite pitiful.
Although severed limbs can regenerate, one only has one life.
Look at Vegeta and his group.
Not only can they be revived after death, but if they are killed, someone in the underworld will help them.
Is this the terrifying network of connections the Z Fighters possess?
From the human realm to the underworld, they have connections everywhere.
Life and death are just like a trip; after being revived, they're back to being a hero.
"Hmph, Goku, you can endure it, but I can't."
Piccolo had wanted to intervene, but Goku stopped him, saying to wait a bit longer and let Gohan fight alone.
Seeing Gohan continuously being toyed with by Cell, yet showing no signs of transforming, Piccolo decided to go up and take Gohan off the stage.
"Wait, Piccolo..."
"I know what to do."
Piccolo's strength was now also at the level of peak Super Saiyan 1, and he was not much weaker than Gohan.
He fired a ki blast to stop Cell's movements and quickly rescued Gohan from under Cell's foot.
Then, he fed him a Senzu Bean.
After eating the Senzu Bean, Gohan's injuries quickly recovered.
"Oh, Piccolo, is it your turn now?" Cell sneered, "I thought it would be Vegeta!"
Cell didn't really care much about Gohan; he was just talking nonsense about getting angry making one stronger.
Goku was just bluffing.
If it were that easy, Cell, in his perfect form, would have already ascended to the next level.
"Cell, I am no longer the same as before. You may not be able to win completely."
"Heh, then come on." Cell beckoned with his finger.
Piccolo instantly vanished from his spot and charged towards Cell.
Bang!
The two clashed, their fists meeting.
A massive ripple of energy spread outwards from the two of them.
"Piccolo, even you possess this strength!" Cell was surprised, "Since that's the case, I'll get serious too."
Bursts of intense sonic booms resonated in the air.
All the Z Fighters were intently focused on the battle.
Suddenly, Piccolo lost focus.
"Hiss--"
An arm fell from the sky, accompanied by blood raining down.
Piccolo clutched his bleeding right arm, widening the distance between himself and Cell.
He was sweating profusely and panting heavily: "Cell, you are actually so powerful!"
He had gone all out just now, but compared to himself, Cell seemed even more at ease.
"You're not bad either, Namekian." Cell said indifferently, then his expression suddenly turned cold, "I remember Gohan seems to care about you very much. If I kill you, will Gohan be able to unleash even stronger power?"
"Cell, you can try if you can do it." Piccolo wanted to use the Namekian regeneration ability to regrow his lost right arm, but Cell didn't give Piccolo a chance.
Before Piccolo's arm could regrow, his remaining arm was also severed with a hiss.
Piccolo completely lost feeling in his other arm, and the excruciating pain shot straight to his head.
Having lost both arms, Piccolo also suffered from excessive blood loss.
His green face turned pale.
"Uncle Piccolo!"
Gohan rushed forward, wanting to save Piccolo, who had lost both arms.
However, what greeted him was a ki blast released by Cell.
Boom!
Gohan crossed his arms over his chest, blocking the ki blast.
Cell, however, seized this opportunity to quickly rush in front of Piccolo.
His palm transformed into a blade, directly piercing Piccolo's chest.
"Ugh!"
Piccolo suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Excessive blood loss, severe injuries. You're beyond saving now." Pulling out his arm, Cell licked the purple bloodstains remaining on his fingers with his tongue.
"It tastes good. As expected of the Namekian's blood."
Piccolo slumped to the ground, his body subtly rising and falling, the pupils of his eyes somewhat glazed.
"Gohan, defeat Cell... Defeat him, avenge me, avenge me... cough cough."
"Piccolo!"
Krillin and the others wanted to go give Piccolo a Senzu Bean, but they were firmly blocked by the Cell Juniors released from Cell's tail.
"Hehe, Gohan, this is the consequence of you breaking the rules and entering the arena."
"If you lose, you should accept a loser's fate."
Kicking the unconscious Piccolo on the ground, and looking at Gohan's increasingly bulging muscles, Cell sneered,
"Yes, just like that, get angry quickly, Gohan."
"You only have two choices: kill me and avenge Piccolo, or I'll kill you and send you two master and disciple off properly."
"You... you!"
Gohan wanted to go to Piccolo, but Cell stood in his way.
"Get out of the way!" Gohan tried to break through Cell's obstruction, but he was punched away.
"Gohan, don't mind me... Defeat Cell, defeat... cough cough…"
Gohan got up, and Piccolo's intermittent voice came from a distance.
Piccolo's ki was also getting weaker and weaker.
"Isn't it better to be quiet? You're still bothering my ears here."
Cell casually threw a ki blast towards Piccolo's location.
Boom!
An explosion rang out, and a huge crater appeared on the ground.
"No..."
"Uncle Piccolo!"
"No!!!"
"Aaaaahhhh!"
In the Chat Group.
Piccolo's "death" and Gohan's re-entry into the fight drew everyone's attention.
[Lumine: "Is that guy named Cell a bit too overconfident?"]
Deliberately provoking Gohan's anger.
Isn't he afraid of accidentally capsizing so badly his own mother wouldn't recognize him?
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Except for a very few Saiyans, generally speaking, Saiyans are very arrogant. Cell has Saiyan cells, so you can imagine the result."]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "For example, Vegeta, if it's not for the fact that he couldn't beat me, he'd probably be looking down his nose at everyone by now."]
[Vegeta: "@World's No. 1 Princess, talk about Cell, just talk about Cell, don't drag me into it, alright? Also, when have I ever looked down my nose at anyone?"]
[Uchiha Madara: "@Vegeta, you really have leisure. You're in the middle of a battle, yet you have time to reply in the Chat Group. Aren't you afraid of accidentally being taken out by a Cell Junior?"]
[Vegeta: "Hmph, how could I, the mighty Super Vegeta, be...]
In the live broadcast, a Cell Junior kicked the distracted Vegeta away.
Vegeta, flying backward, crashed heavily into a distant mountain range.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "..."]
Now, even not making a gesture will cause a causality event?
