The four heavenly kings lay broken on the debris littered ground. They're gourmet cells not able to help speed up the regeneration process. Looking around at the damage that had been accumulated in the few minutes before the Bishokuyas defeat.

"I really didn't want to do this," Komatsu whispered as he pulled out his Melk knife into a fighting stance. "but you have left me no choice. You harmed innocent people and you shall pay for that."

Toriko shakily moved his head up to see what would happen the small chef, to his surprise Komatsu was fairing well against the so far unknown enemy. He was light on his feet making quick sharp jabs with the blade. Coco noted that he was very skilled and that that type of skill level was hard earned and didn't appear over night. All Sani could think was that the dance like movements where the most beautiful things he had ever seen and Zebura muttered something about being cocky.

The parrying that Komatsu and the enemy where doing continued for a period of time before the short man got bored. 'It really isn't fun if both parties weren't going full out.' Stopping, he said in a slightly louder voice than he used before "If we keep beating around the bush then we will be exhausted before we can get serious."

A deep voice resonated "I couldn't agree more."

"Come at me!" the chef shouted.

This confused the four kings. Since when had Komatsu ever stood up for a fight let alone antagonise the enemy. No one knew but they all silently agreed that they preferred gentle caring Chef and would try not to make him this angry ever again.

Watching as the fight got more and more intense the four on the ground got more and more scared for there lives as there was an exponential increase in the amount of collateral damage. Building that the four king had together taken chunks out of where obliterated with one swish of the Melk knife in Komatsu's hands with the rubble falling on them.

With one more twist and a flick of Komatsu's wrist, the Melk knife was lodged deeply into the enemies diaphragm piercing the other's lung.

After pulling the blade out of the guy, he collapsed to the ground whispering "I suppose this is the way I always wanted to die..." The red puddle grew and grew until the light faded from his eyes.

Turning towards the four kings, Komatsu asked "Are you guys okay?" They looked incredulously at him. Why was he asking about them when he just fought someone single handedly they couldn't combined.

Coco was the first to recover and asked "When did you learn fighting skills like that?"

"Yeah and why did you hide such a beautiful fighting style?" Sani added.

With a nod from the others, Komtsu pondered. "Well, I never really saw any reason to as I knew you could win with out me. Also didn't you wonder how I got all my ingredients before I met any of you?"

"I think the shrimp is getting too cocky."

Toriko who still hadn't talked looked up with pain filled eyes. "So what was the point in partnering up with me if you can get the ingredients yourself?" The other kings thought it was a good question.

Rubbing the back of his head sheepishly Komatsu replied "Well I guess it was the company on the adventures we had."

Somewhat content with the answer he received, suggested that they finish collecting the items they came for.
