"I never said I did," Piccolo began to reply directly to Madoka, his expression softening ever-so-slightly. He knew all too well the kindness of the strong. Goku only ever used his strength to protect everyone around him. The Namekian had nothing but respect for such a strong, pure-hearted warrior.

But Maru's transformation interrupted anything else the Namekian might have said to express this sentiment. His expression hardened once more, returning to it's more usual sharp lines.

"You're right, they tend to expect their own strength to be enough to win every battle but those that fight to protect others tend to find an inner strength far stronger than the tyrants and sycophants of the universe. But 'kindness' is not 'strength' unless you forge it. And you cannot teach her how unless you first accept the truth and build upon it."
