Issue P Published by Pan Books, Toronto, Canada, First Printing. The next day, Tiger and Bond visit what was once a house of ill-repute now turned into a national monument as prostitution was illegal in Japan.

After showing respect to the curators by bowing, Bond became impatient and complained. Tiger told him how the place was before it became a museum. He tells a story of people eating, drinking and writing haikus.

Tiger tells Bond of many poets who wrote haikus. One in particular, Basho, lived in the seventeenth century and wrote haikus that had seventeen syllables. He recites a few to no avail. Bond couldn't get the hang of them. So, he makes up his own:. It was the next morning and, at promptly am, the Prefect of Police in Fukuoka sent a car for Tiger and Bond with tow policeman in the front seat. They were driving along a freeway when they noticed they were being followed.

Bond realizes it could be the man who stole his wallet on the train. The driver comes up on their side. He is wearing a white mask and reaches inside his jacket. Bond exclaims to watch out as it looks like he may be armed. The corporal driving the car leaps out of the window and tackles the man into a ditch, stabbing him to death.

They stop the car, and Tiger goes to check on the man. He is surprised to see that he is a Black Dragon. While studying documents and maps of the castle to devise a plan, Bond notices photos of his target.

Bond is shocked when he discovers that Shatterhand is actually an assumed identity of his nemesis Ernst Stavro Blofeld, and gladly takes to the mission with renewed vigour. Bond keeps his knowledge of Blofeld a secret so that he can exact his revenge for the death of his wife. Bond and Tiger board a boat and head to the Sea of Genkai to the Kuro Island where Bond would meet Kissy Suzuki and her family to complete his training.

Tiger notices that something is weighing heavily on Bond's mind. He tries to cheer him up by reminding him of all the new experiences he would soon have and the new women he would meet, especially Kissy, known as the Japanese Greta Garbo.

Kissy is an Ama diver and former Hollywood actress. She is distantly related to a local agent of Tiger Tanaka and is, therefore, asked to assist Bond. Bond stays with Kissy's family on Kuro Island near the castle in preparation for his mission. Bond convinces Kissy to take him to see the castle. She believes he is the man sent by the guardians. He tells her he is a foreigner and has approval. She accepts it and agrees to guide him. Kissy helps Bond across the river to the castle.

He leaves her behind to climb the two-hundred foot wall and makes his way over the edge. He crawls along the wall, making his way into the park and finds his way inside the grounds and into the castle. Bond sets up camp in a hut made out of sacking and waits for his opportunity to seek out Blofeld. While in his hideout, he witnesses two deaths firsthand. The first was a man who was running through the grounds with a swollen head and face.

The man stops and sees the lake filled with piranha and throws himself in. The second death was a well-dressed man who looked to be a businessman who walks dignified through the garden, carrying an umbrella and mumbling unknown phrases to himself.

Bond waits in his hideout while he listens to everyday sounds going on in the park. There are workers in protective gear laughing and talking like people would do every day.

He checks his watch and notices it is 9 a. He sees Blofeld and his wife, Irma Bunt, coming through the grounds an hour later. Blofeld is carrying a long samurai sword and wearing armour and a spiked helmet.

Irma's head is covered in a bee-keepers hat that is dark green. Bond watched to see how the workers would react around them, if they would show respect or show their true feelings for this truly hated man when he wasn't aware. However, they seemed truly respectful and totally devoted to their work. That evening, Bond sneaks out of the hut and creeps carefully across the yard, making sure that he avoids the volcanic fumaroles and all the poisonous affects in the area.

He makes his way across the path that he had designated for himself and finds the door to the castle. He slips in and enters a room filled with food supplies. He climbs the stairs, making his way through darkness. He opens door after door, making his way higher through the castle and is careful not to make a sound to call attention to himself.

He makes his way to one door in which the inside of the room is dimly lit. He opens the latch and enters the Castle of Death. Bond is led into a room with ten guards, Blofeld and Bunt.

He is beaten ten times with staves and kicked one of the guards between the legs in defense. He also attacked other guards with a chair.

In the end, he was ordered into the Question Room. He is put in a seat above a volcanic geyser. Blofeld tells him that the geyser goes off every fifteen minutes and being that it was , it would go off at He says that if Bond stayed in the seat, his lower half would be incinerated. If he left the seat, his identity would be confirmed. Bond sits in the chair and attempts to find something that would stop the geyser from going off, which proved to be difficult with a guard sitting in the room.

At , he decided to confirm he was indeed Bond and Blofeld has him taken away for questioning. He considers himself to be a genius. He tells Bond of his plots and how they had a greater purpose in a broader, foresighted view in his opinion in an attempt to justify his past schemes.

He goes on to glorify suicide to Bond as what he believes is a service for people who want a way out. Bond then hurls a stave at Irma Bunt, hitting her in the head and knocking her unconscious. He and Blofeld then engage in a duel where Bond succeeds in disarming Blofeld of his sword, then proceeding to kill Blofeld by strangulation.
