Dragon Ball, Vol. 8

Enter the world's deadliest assassin! Desperate to crush Goku once and for all, the high-tech commanders of the Red Ribbon Army pool their resources to hire Taopaipai, a ruthless mercenary with terrifying power. After witnessing the assassin easily eliminate his top targets, Goku faces his most crushing defeat yet. Left battered and outmatched, his only hope for survival lies at the top of the miles-high Karin Tower, a legendary structure guarded by a mysterious, ancient feline hermit. To stand a chance against Taopaipai, Goku must scale the tower and claim a jug of sacred water rumored to grant exponential super-strength. As Goku pushes through the ultimate trial of endurance, the clock is ticking. Commander Red is only two Dragon Balls away from realizing his deepest, darkest ambitions for world domination!
