"Talking"

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

"W-What the hell was that?! I seriously thought you were going to die!" Fubuki shouted, glaring lightly at Gray as he pushed himself back to his feet.

"It'd be cheap to get power without a bit of pain, right?" Gray just chuckled, stretching out his limbs as he glanced down at his body, "I won't die that easily."

But I almost fuckin' did.

That had been a closer call than Gray wanted to admit, as if the [Enhanced Senzu Bean] hadn't worked, he would've been left writhing in pain as he searched through the shop for something to save him.

But it was worth it.

Gray's power had skyrocketed - what had once been a power level of 277 billion in his Ozaru form now sat at 2.94 trillion. He had gained a power boost roughly equal to 10x, and he was willing to accept that the pain was necessary to get there.

I'm gonna look like a fuckin' beast when I transform back.

As Gray looked down at his ape body, it was easy to see, even in his Ozaru form, that his body had changed. His limbs were even longer than before, and the rest of his body had morphed a bit to fit that mismatch. His chest felt longer and thicker, his body was overall taller, and his muscles seemed to bulge a bit under his skin.

I'm starting to look like a steroid junkie.

Gray's muscles showed even through his fur, and his previously rather lean form was starting to look on the more muscular side.

I'm a fuckin' unit.

His ape-form was unnaturally tall, his limbs looking unnaturally long, and his muscles were unnaturally large and bulging. Overall, it was a pretty intimidating sight, as he looked like a fighting machine - which, considering he was a Saiyan, he kind of was.

"Let's go help them now," Gray said bluntly to Fubuki, turning back to the entrance to the inner part of the tree. The transformation process and the pain that came through it had taken longer than expected, and Gray's minute-at-most estimation had already passed by 30 seconds.

But, real quick, I'll take this just in case.

Gray shot up, reaching out his arm as he quickly swiped across the top of the wooden roof above him. His action resulted in ten glowing red fruits being ripped from their stems and resting in his palm.

They shouldn't be easy to crush, right?

Gray reached behind him, grabbing the small sheath in his busted-up Saiyan armor on his back. The armor stretched with his ape form, but the evolution process had caused it to be broken in some areas, scraped up all over, and soaked in a thick layer of Gray's own blood. He casually grabbed the handle of his wooden sword, which he still kept with him at all times after getting a sheath for [King's Obelisk] on Earth, even if he hadn't used the blade in a while.

Fists are just so much more convenient.

But, in this instant, the sheath could act as a holder for something else.

"Hold this," Gray said, casually tossing the wooden sword to Fubuki, who caught it. Then, he smushed the fruits in his hand down into the sheath. They barely fit as they were round instead of blade-shaped, but luckily, Gray's sword was pretty thick, so they just managed to wedge in.
