"What Will the Effect of the Super Spirit Water Be? !"

T-three years? !

It took Old-timer Turtle Hermit 3 years? !

That's right. How long will it take you, I wonder?

Get serious! I can't wait that long!

I have to get it today or tomorrow... !

No, even sooner!

I have to get stronger!

What an impatient fellow...

If you can't wait, then you'll need to hurry and steal this jar from me.

Well, I guess maybe I'll take a catnap for 3 days or so...

Alright! It's mine!

Oh, the Zanzouken... (Afterimage Technique)

There!

Too bad! I was over here!

Ow... !

Well? What did you think of my Zanzouken retaliation?

Well, good night.

Darn it... !

Why am I this out of breath? !

I'll try again with everything I've got!

Oh yeah, I haven't eaten anything since yesterday...

Come to think of it, I haven't eaten anything for 5 years myself...

Yes, yes. I'll have something to eat before my nap!

Hey, time to eat! Food!

Food...

Food? !

I humbly accept this meal.

Food!

This is for you.

This is all? !

That's not fair! Keeping all the food for yourself... !

You ate it all!

You'll pay dearly if you keep complaining about it!

That's a hermit bean.

They're called Senzu beans, and just one will keep you full for 10 days.

Wonderful beans, they are.

I need lots of food!

Just one of these beans isn't enough...

Oh, yes. You mentioned earlier about being out of breath.

That would be because the air up here is thin.

We are at quite a high elevation, after all.

You make a lot of wasted movements so you quickly run out of breath.

Huh? What could this be? Trash, perhaps?

I'll throw it out, then.

My 4-Star Ball! When did it? !

What're you doing? !

If the Red Ribbon Army gets that ball, I'd... !

Oopa!

Let's see...

Not here...

Found it!

Darn that stupid cat!

I'm gonna beat his brains out!

Huh?

What was that just now? It couldn't have been Goku-san...

It sure was fast, though...

Back in only 3 hours? His first time took a full day.

Hey! I'll tell you this right now!

This is called the 4-Star Ball and it's really important...

Hey! Are you listening to me? !

I can't even tell if you're awake or asleep! Hey!

Wake up!

No. I won't try any unfair tricks.

I WILL get it, though!

He's more honest than I thought. Completely different than Muten Roshi.

His Zanzouken was absolutely spectacular as well...

I look forward to seeing how well he improves...

Goku's jar-stealing trial continued the following day.

Darn it! How? !

You aren't reading my moves at all.

You aren't reading my breathing.

Breathing? How am I supposed to read that?

Figure it out on your own.

What's the matter? Out of breath already? !

The sun eventually set on Goku's 2nd day on Karin Tower...

I see. If he is indeed alive, then...

Regardless, you have until tomorrow to live, boy.

Father...

Goku is going to come back and he'll be even stronger than ever!

I just know he will!

Come and get it!

It's no use...

Your breathing has improved quite a bit.

Yeah... But I'm...

Let's call it a day and get some rest.

He's progressing at an astonishing speed!

This boy is completely unpredictable, even for me!

Oh, it was just a dream...

But it took Old-timer Turtle Hermit 3 years, Oopa!

Who knows how long it'll take me...

I'm thirsty...

Oh yeah, this is that weird water...

Huh?

It's Bulma!

You aren't reading my moves at all.

You aren't reading my breathing!

That's it!

Like this...

OK! I will get it today!

Go ahead and try!

Fool! You're thinking too hard!

My right!

He's fast!

Oh no!

Don't! You'll fall!

Boy!

Fooled you!

I did it! I got the jar!

What an astounding lad! It took him only 3 days... !

I can drink it, right?

Of course. Drink up.

I don't really feel any different...

Of course not.

The Super Spirit Water is ordinary, everyday water.

Eh? ! That's mean! You tricked me, didn't you? !

I haven't tricked you.

Your strength has already increased several-fold.

Now do you finally realize?

Going up and down Karin Tower, trying to steal the jar from me...

It was all training meant to multiply your strength!

Oh!

Excellent. You made it exactly to my specifications.

I spent so much time on it I haven't slept for days.

Now then, time to go get this so-called Dragon Ball...

U-um... What about the money?

What? Are you saying you wish to take money from Tao Pai Pai,

the world's greatest and most famous assassin?

I- I have to make a living... !

Very well. I'll tell you what.

I'm an assassin. Instead of money, I will murder someone for you.

You're very lucky!

My assassination fee is so high you could spend your entire life working

and still never be able to pay it.

So tell me, who do you want dead?

N-no! There isn't anyone I want killed!

Then you get to die.

Keep the change.

Now then! Return to the world below and test out your newfound skills!

Thanks, Karin-sama!

Your certainly are an amicable fellow!

Bye bye! I'll see you later!

Yahoo!

He may have already surpassed Muten Roshi... !

OK! I'm coming for you!

Well, then... !

The showdown between Goku and Tao Pai Pai draws ever nearer!
