"Talking"

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

"This is insane... this is absolutely insane! I don't care how quickly you've mastered the Kaio-Ken, you won't be able to do this!" King Kai shouted, floating in the air far above the surface of his planet, "I don't care if you're an unprecedented genius at this type of stuff - it's just not possible!"

Currently, Gray was in his massive Ozaru form as he floated across from the Kai, his eyes closed in concentration. After only a few days of practice, he had managed to adapt pretty well to the Kaio-Ken x3, and could at least fight decently with the Kaio-Ken x4. Now, it was time for the real difficult part of utilizing the Kaio-Ken.

Doing it as an Ozaru.

"Your body is way bigger! Even if you have more Ki and overall power, that'll only be detrimental!" King Kai continued with a huff, his eyes boring into Gray's large head, "That's way more power to move through you, and you're not used to this body! You have a better understanding of your own body than anyone I've ever trained, but this is different! You've lived an entire lifetime in that form, but this is one you've barely accessed! It's like telling a toddler to sprint before they can walk- no, it's more like telling a toddler to use the Kaio-Ken!"

He's right. No one's ever done this before. I don't even know if it's possible.

In the Dragon Ball world, Goku had been the only one to ever master the Kaio-Ken, as even King Kai was only somewhat competent with the base Kaio-Ken technique. He had never reached the Kaio-Ken x3, and the only person who had, Goku, had never tried using even the base technique with the Ozaru transformation.

But he's also wrong. I haven't lived a lifetime in my normal body.

Gray hadn't been in this world for even a year at this point, much less a lifetime. Beyond that, his body was far different from the one he'd first appeared in months ago, as he'd evolved numerous times since then.

If anyone could figure it out, it's me.

Not because Gray thought he was particularly talented, though considering how quickly he'd adapted to fighting in this world he definitely was, but instead because of his system.

I have the [Kaio-Ken] skill. I should just will it to activate, and it'll either work, or it won't. If it doesn't, then I might need to change my plans a bit, but I'll find out before I start thinking that way.

Gray breathed in, his body tensing as he willed his Ki to start flowing through him. He copied the normal steps he did to use the Kaio-Ken, willing the skill to activate. Then, he breathed out, his eyes snapping open.

"KAIO-KEN!"

As the words left his mouth, the air around him grew thick with power. His Ki shot upward as the massive heart in his Ozaru's chest started to pound quicker, banging into his ears like a never-ending drum. His veins became flooded with deep, burning hot Ki, and his hair-covered muscles bulged outward. His body became stiff as his power level skyrocketed, and Gray grimaced as he shifted in the air slightly, feeling different from when he utilized the Kaio-Ken in his normal form.

"H-How..." King Kai watched with wide eyes as Gray roared, a flare of red Ki bursting upward around him, and he stumbled backward mid-air.

Gray just grinned widely as the air around him shook, his power bursting out so heavily that even King Kai's planet far below them started to shake as if there were an earthquake ravaging the planet.
