sfx: zah
P: Yai, yaiihh!!
P: Just what do you think this place is, pal?!
P: Get away!! Unless you wanna die, of course!!
B: Hooooooh!!!

153)
B: How despicable of you to forget your senior's face...
P: I-it's General Blue!!
B: Hurry up and open the gate.
T: 'tis I, the greatest assassin in the world, Taopaipai.

154)
R: Thanks for coming, Taopaipai.
T: Allow me to say this once more,
T: but the fees for my services are rather exorbitant.
R: As long as you get the job done, I'll pay whatever you ask.
T: I will require one hundred million zenni per kill.
B: O-one hundred million...?!
T: But you, my friend, are very lucky, for this year I am currently in the middle of a half-off sale for my "20 Years of Assassination Anniversary Campaign."
T: I will give you discount of 10,000,000 zenni per kill.
R: Th...thanks...
B: You're really Taopaipai, right...?
T: Would you like to test me?

155)
B: N-no...not really...
B: Wh-who is it?
G: It's Blue!
R: General Blue, huh...?
R: Come in!
G: I have returned!
R: So you actually came back.
B: Yes, I suffered quite a bit. Having my airplane stolen...my car stolen...
R: I didn't mean that.
R: What I meant was, so you actually came back, even after having the Dragonballs stolen by Son Gokuu...
G: B-but...I...just...
G: In return, I managed to steal the enemy's radar!!

156)
G: This is it! You can enlarge and shrink it at will,
G: in order to determine the exact location of the Dragonballs!
B: It's that small...?
G: With this, I'll gather all seven of the Dragonballs for you!!
R: I see. That is indeed a commendable feat!
R: However, my orders were to bring back the Dragonballs.
R: And all those who do not fulfill their missions are to receive the death penalty...
R: B...
R: But...!!
R: However, since you've worked hard for the Red Ribbon Army, I'll give you a chance...
R: If you can fight Taopaipai here and win, I'll forgive you.
G: Thank you very much!

157)
G: So you're the one people call the greatest assassin in the world, Taopaipai, huh?
T: Want my autograph?
G: Ho ho ho...
G: If you're the greatest in the world, then I'm the greatest assassin in the universe!
T: I will be expecting a payment for this man as well, is that understood?
R: Fine, just show me what you're really made of.
T: I don't even need to use my arms or legs on someone like you...my tongue alone will do the job!
G: How exciting.
B: Begin!!

158)
G: Hyohhhhh!!!
T: Hyoi!
T: Beh!

159)
T: Fu...
T: See, I already won.
(*t/l note: The kanji on Taopaipai's shirt reads "KILL," and the kanji for his name are Peach-White-White. Toriyama gave him this name because felt he'd thought it'd be very funny/ironic name for such a fearsome assassin.)
R: H...he took out Blue w...with one hit...
R: I...I...can't believe it...
B: Wh...what a guy...he really is Taopaipai...
T: Now then.
T: I assume we can end playtime here. Would you mind telling me what my true objective is?

160)
T: What? This is just some kid.
B: It's a big mistake to think of him as just a kid. He's abnormally powerful!
T: Well, as long as I receive the promised amount of money, I will erase any being.
B: We're counting on you.
R: Also, that Son Gokuu kid should have 4 balls on him. We'd like you to bring those back as well.
B: The balls look like this.
R: If any other people get in your way, feel free to kill them, I don't care.
T: Understood. He's in a place called Karin 2300km northeast from here, correct?
B: We'll prepare a jet for you, so please come this way.
T: I won't be needing that. Aircrafts take too much time.
B: Eh?
T: Do you mind if I take this pillar?
R: Pillar? Wh-what are you talking about?

161)
T: Northeast 2300km, huh...
T: I'll be back in about 30 minutes, then.
T: Pyohhh!!!!

162)
B: H...he's crazy...
R: Ga ha ha!! I can practically feel the Dragonballs in my hand already!!!
B: The Sacred Land Karin...
B: I see. So these balls carry such a secret with them...that must be why they were so intent on stealing it...

163)
G: I don't have anything to wish for, though,
G: so as long as I can get my grandpa's memoir, the Suushinchuu, I'll be happy!
G: By the way...what's that reaaaaally high thing?
B: That?
B: This is the sacred tower that stretches to the heavens, Karin Tower.
B: It is said that the sennin-sama (*t/l note: remember, a sennin is a great, usually elderly man who possesses powers greater than the average human, like Kamesennin) who built up this tower himself now lives at the top. If one is to drink the holy water the sennin-sama possesses, legend has it that their strength will increase exponentially.
B: For generations, my family has guarded this sacred tower.
G: Wooooow, that's incredible!! My strength will increase exponentially?! Have you climbed this thing before too, mister?
B: I tried once when I was younger, but couldn't do it...no one's ever seen the top...
G: Oh...it is pretty high, yeah...
G: I wonder if I'd be able to use Kintoun to make it to the top...
T: That's the place...
