This life is one
big treasure island,

It's the truth! Now more
than ever, Adventure!



Goku acquired his long-sought -Star
Ball in the sacred land of Karin!



Got you!



Hiya!



I did it! It's the -Star Ball!

I found Grandpa's -Star Ball!

Meanwhile, unable to put up with
the rampaging Goku any longer,

Commander Red called in
a well-trained assassin!



Tao Pai Pai, at your service!



"It's Him! The World's
Greatest Assassin, Tao Pai Pai"



General Blue! I'm glad
to see you're not hurt!

I don't need your rude remarks!

I would never die that easily.



I- I apologize!



Thank you for coming, Tao Pai Pai.

Forgive my abruptness, but...

I'll mention this beforehand,
but my fee is extraordinarily high.

As long as you do your job successfully,
I'll pay you anything you want.

I charge million Zeni for each
person I put out of commission.

million Zeni...?!

However, you are very lucky.

This year marks my th
year as an assassin,

so I'm having a percent off sale.

I will mark down the price to
million Zeni per victim.

T-thanks...

Are you really Tao Pai Pai-san...?

Would you like to
find out for yourself?

No, that's fine...!

W-who is it?!

Blue.



Blue?

Enter!



I have just returned.

How were you able to come back?

I had a very difficult time.
Stealing planes, stealing cars...

That is not what I meant!

What I mean is, how were you
able to come crawling back here

after having the Dragon Balls
stolen by Son Goku or whoever?!

B-but there was nothing
I could do, I was...

I don't feel like hearing your excuses!

I did steal the enemy's radar, though!

Here it is! You can zoom
in and out freely with it

to pinpoint the location
of the Dragon Balls!



It's really this small?

I'll use this to collect
all Dragon Balls for you!

I see.



That was quite an
outstanding achievement.

But my orders were to bring
the Dragon Balls to me!

Those who fail to
perform their duties...

...are to be ex*cuted!

You can't be serious!



However, you have worked especially
hard for the Red Ribbon Army.

I will give you a chance!

I'll forgive you if you can defeat
Tao Pai Pai here in a fight.

Tao Pai Pai...?



Well, Blue? Will you do it?

Of course I will!

Thank you, Commander!



Those balls possess such a secret?

So that is the reason why they
tried so hard to steal it.

But I don't really have
anything to wish for,

so I'm happy just having
my grandpa's -Star Ball!



I see. You have no greed.

What's greed, Father?

Something terrible.
It often rots men's souls.



By the way, what's
that REALLY tall thingy?

This?

This sacred tower that soars into
the heavens is known as Karin Tower.

Karin Tower?



It is said that a hermit
lives at the very top.



If you can climb all the way
up using only your own strength

and then drink the holy water
that the hermit gives you,

your strength will be
increased by many times.



Amazing! Your strength will
be increased by many times?

Have you climbed it, Mister?

I tried once when I was
still young, but I failed.

No one has ever seen the top yet.

I heard that one person
did a really long time ago!

That is an old tale. No one
knows if it is true or not.

Really? It sure is tall, though!

So what do you two do here?

My people have protected this
sacred tower for generations.

We do not allow anyone to ravage
this land, no matter who they might be.

I see...

I wonder if taking Kinto Un
to the top would work or not...



So you're Tao Pai Pai,
the world's best assassin?

Want my autograph?



If you're the best assassin in the world,
then I'm the best in the universe.

I will have to charge you for taking
care of him, too. Is this acceptable?

That's fine. Let me see your skills.

If you'd like to use a w*apon,
go right ahead.



I won't need to use my hands or legs,

I will defeat you with my tongue alone.

Sounds like fun.



Begin!



Not bad!

So what do you think about this?!



You shouldn't be able to
move a single muscle now!



I'll put you out of your misery.



What exactly are you doing?

I-Impossible...!



Blue's psychic powers
don't work on him!



That didn't take long to b*at him.

H-he k*lled Blue...
in a single instant...!

U-unbelievable...!
He's incredible...!

Just what I would expect
from the infamous Tao Pai Pai!

Now then, I assume playtime is over?

Tell me who my real targets are.



What? A little boy?

You're gravely mistaken if
you think he's an ordinary kid.

His strength is extraordinary.

Well, as long as I
receive the money owed to me,

I will exterminate anyone you wish.

I'm pleased to hear it!

Also, that Son Goku kid
should have balls with him.

Steal them and bring them to me.
I'm counting on you.

They're like this.



It'll cost extra.

That's fine!

Also, if any other people get in the way,
k*ll as many of them as you like!

Understood.

I shall send you a thorough invoice.


The location is Karin,
kilometers northeast of here, correct?

We've prepared a jet for you.
Please come this way.

That will not do.

It would take too much
time in an airplane.



May I borrow one of these pillars?

A pillar?! W-what for?



kilometers northeast...

I shall return in minutes.



H-he is truly mind-boggling...!



Now the Dragon Balls
are as good as mine!



That smells good!



...Here you are.
...Thanks!



...Yummy!
...Eat as much as you wish.



Hey, is this...



I take it that's the place.



Amazing! Your power gets
increased by many times?



That is what the old tales say,
but it may only be a superstition.

Maybe I should try climbing it too...

Eh? Even though you're
already so strong?

There are still lots of
people stronger than me.

I wanna get even stronger!



I see. But it is
not that easily climbed.

Has anyone else besides you climbed it?

Yes. A countless number
of people have tried.

But they all failed.

After climbing for days, they would
first run out of food and strength

before falling off.

There were those who tried to
use airplanes to reach the top,

but they failed as well.



How come?

No matter how far they went,
the top would never come into sight.

It's that high...?!

It may be that the top
will never come into view

for those who do not climb
it using their own strength.



What's that, Father?

Something's flying this way!

There's someone riding on it!



It's coming this way!

Look out!



Aloha!



Who are you?!

Tao Pai Pai,
the world's greatest assassin.

Assassin?

What purpose does an assassin have
here in the sacred land of Karin?!

I have no business with this place.

What I do have business
with is that boy over there.

What?!

What do you want from me?
I don't even know you!



Perhaps if I told you the
Red Ribbon Army sent me

that would answer your question.

Red Ribbon?!

My job is to k*ll you because you are
an obstacle in their ball-collecting.

Again?! You guys never give up!



Father! Help him!

That young boy saved my son's life.

If you do not leave quietly now,
you will have to face me!



That's OK, Mister! I'll fight him!

It is my duty to protect
this sacred land of Karin.

Stand back, Oopa!

OK!

What a fool. To think that you would
go out of your way to choose death...



Come at me!



Father! Try hard!



It seems you think
you're well trained.

In that case, I will hold
nothing back and come at you!

He's fast!



What is this?

What's wrong? It's not moving!



What about now? Look.



F- Father!

No good?

Then I'll move it for you!



You can have your spear back.

...Kinto Un!
...Father!



Father!

Now then, time for the main event.

You bastard!

Will Goku be able to stand up
to this cruel and vile assassin?

Come along, fantasy,

I enjoy a mystery,

Don't you go hiding your youth!

Wanting to perform the mysterious,

Wanting to pursue the adventure,

Everyone is itching to go!

If you act like an adult and give up,

You'll never unravel the
mystery of the miracle!

Go on and try to live even
more wild and strong!

I'll give you a romance,
I'll give you a romance,

If you will show me
you're true courage.

I'll give you a romance,
I'll give you a romance,

I'll give your pounding heart
a glittery, shining dream!
