[Source]. After receiving Future Trunks' warning of the impending android threat that would appear on Amenbo Island's capital, Papaya Town, in three years that would kill the every Z-Fighter and most of the Earth's population, Piccolo trained alongside Gohan and Goku to become stronger than their future timeline counterpart. After beating down Android 20, however, he is quickly outmatched by the real threat, Android 17. Rushing off to the lookout after receiving a Senzu Bean, Piccolo acquired a necessary new power at the cost of Earth's Dragon Balls.
