When Piccolo learns that the Red Ribbon Army has returned with powerful androids and is preparing to unleash an even more powerful version of Cell (a so-called perfect warrior created from the genes of Goku, Vegeta, Frieza, King Cold, and Piccolo himself), he immediately reaches out to Bulma to see if Goku and Vegeta are able to take on this new threat. Unfortunately, they're not around — they're on Beerus' planet training and sparring, so Piccolo has to come up with some new ideas for how to defend his friends and Earth.
He remembers that the Grand Elder Guru on Namek was able to unlock Gohan and Krillin's potential years ago and visits the current guardian of the Earth, Dende, to see if he would be able to help Piccolo unlock his latent potential. Sadly, Dende is too young to have that ability, but he offers to upgrade the Dragon Balls so that Piccolo can wish for his potential to be unlocked.
The scene doesn't last long, but it's nice for the audience to see Dende make an appearance. And any scenes between Piccolo and Dende, two Namekians who reside permanently on Earth, are always a joy to watch.
