Namu's Buffet.

Chapter 1: "The Chance Meeting."

The sun was bright and the city was bustling with the sounds of commerce.

A large, muscular man walked up in Hotel Gourmet. He was wearing a white T-shirt, a pair of jeans, black boots. He had two gold earrings, a gold chain around his neck, black, fingerless leather gloves, a brown leather belt with a gold buckle and lastly, a black leather jacket. On the back of the jacket was a blue-haired woman in a light pink kimono, her hair was in a ponytail and she was sitting on an oar. The man had a scar on the edge of his left eye, and had his black hair in a pompadour style.

"Mmmmhh."the man moaned as he stretched his arms, "I'm freakin' starvin'!" as he exited the elevator, he walked closer to Restaurant Gourmet, "Hello sir." the maitre'd said, "Sup?" the man simply replied, "What kinda food ya got here?" he asked, "Only the best, sir." said the maitre'd, "Great!"

The man sat at a table looking over the menu when a man walked up to him, "So what will it be, sir?"

"I'll have ten of everything." he said, "WHAAAA?!" the waiter was in shock, "You heard me."

The waiter entered the kitchen with a shocked look on his face, "T-ten orders of everything." he said, causing the kitchen staff to stop and look at the waiter in shock, "Must be Toriko-san" Komatsu thought as he walked towards the door to see. What he saw surprised him, "Who's that guy?" Komatsu asked the waiter, "He didn't give me his name." he replied nervously.

After the huge meal, the man picked excess food from his teeth with a toothpick as Komatsu walked up to him, "H-hello." he said nervously, "What's up?" the man asked with a big grin on his face, "Wait, are you the head chef here?" he asked, "Cause that food was great!" Komatsu was slightly embarrassed, most people didn't compliment his cooking. "Thank you." he said, "What's your name?" the man asked, "My name's Komatsu. It's funny you ask, cause I was gonna ask you the same thing." the man looked puzzled for a moment before answering, "My name's Namu, and I'm a bishokuya." he grinned, "Another bishokuya?" Komatsu thought. Before he could stop himself, he asked the question on his mind, "Do you know Toriko-san?" Namu answered simply, "Yep. He's an old friend o' mine. How do you know him?" he asked, "He's taken me on a few of his adventures." Komatsu replied, "I even prepared the dessert on his Full Course." Namu looked shocked for a moment, "Toriko's finally put something on his Full Course? I'd better get on the ball." he thought to himself, Well I gotta go, Komatsu. It was fun talkin' to ya. Keep up the good work." Namu said. As he left Komatsu watched Namu leave and thought to himself "Is this guy as strong as Toriko-san?"

As Namu left Hotel Gourmet, he looked up to the floor which the restaurant was on and thought out loud, "That kid's good. Really good at cooking. I need to find me a good chef to team up with. Oh well, I've got something more important on my mind right now. The fish that only appears once a decade, the Puffer Whale. If it's half as good as people say, then it's gonna be my Fish Dish fore sure." As he was walking through the city, Namu saw a beautiful woman with long pink hair but didn't think much of it. Little did he know that their destinies were intertwined.
