"Talking"

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gray laid back in his bed, staring up at the shop interface in front of him. While he had just gotten back to the planet and wanted to meet back up with his friends immediately, they were still recruits in training. The morning training wouldn't be done for another couple of hours, so he was lounging in his room killing time as he waited for them to finish.

As he did, he took another look through the shop. He had a ton of coins now and could afford some of the serious expensive stuff.

It feels like I'm being an idiot if I don't buy them now.

Gray had been staring at one item in particular for a while, a thousand different thoughts flowing through his head.

[Earthly Dragon Ball Set] - 6,000,000 Coins

The dragons balls were, frankly, overpowered. In the show they were largely used to bring people back to life or for gags, but they had a lot of potential.

I'm not doing immortality yet.

The fear of being shoved into a dead-zone esque inescapable room, unable to die but also unable to escape, was too large for Gray to take that risk. He'd prefer to risk going to otherworld over that. Immortality would wait until he was stronger - preferably until he could use God-Ki and not risk being stomped by a Kai or Beerus.

But I can still make another wish.

His choice of a wish depended a lot on the limitations that came from Shenron. The dragon couldn't just outright make him more powerful, as his limitations relied on the power of Kami. That limitation also likely blocked the majority of the [Godly] or above perks and skills. That limitation actually blocked a lot of things, but Gray still had a couple of ideas.

My full potential.

Piccolo had wished for Shenron to unlock his full potential and the dragon had been able to grant it.

In theory, Orange Piccolo should be far stronger than my base Legendary Super Saiyan form. So, Shenron should be able to unlock it, right?

Not completely right. The current Kami was much more powerful than the canon Kami was at this point in the timeline, but he wasn't insanely strong. At the time of Piccolo's wish, Kami had already fused with him, and Piccolo was far stronger than current Kami was. Even if Kami had taken Gray's words to 'get stronger' to heart and was training his ass off, it wasn't nearly as much.

Even if Kami was as strong as I am right now, he wouldn't be close.

Piccolo's power level at the time was in the quintillions - much higher than Kami's current couple of hundred million. That also wasn't taking into account that Dende was the new creator of the dragon balls, and that he had made them stronger.

I don't know what 'Earthly Dragon Balls' entails.

It would be smarter to hold off on making any wishes until Kami was stronger and the limitations were lesser, or even to hold off until he found a stronger Namekian to make a set of dragon balls and take over for Kami. Making a rash wish could speed up his growth, but it could also fuck him over.

I'm not in a rush.

The anxiety that came with knowing that King Vegeta or part of the Frieza Family could kill him whenever they felt like it was annoying, but not annoying enough to act rashly. He could take it slow, grow his power, lay under the radar, and then make a grand wish to push him over the top. Frieza wouldn't know what hit him.
