One Piece: Rise of the Pirate Queen
Omake Corner
One Piece X Toriko Crossover
Part Two
As it was now night time, the group was supposed to get the food was still partying with their new friends as well as enjoying their catch; the Hungerilla Bird. As a fire was light up, everyone was enjoying themselves.
"Knife!" While the adults were having their own fun, Mika and Akio were a bit separated from the camp fire group. Mika, being the impressionable girl she was, was trying really hard to cut her meat in half like how Toriko defeated the Hungerilla Bird. "Fork!" As well as Toriko's piercing move. Akio sighed as he finished his meal before talking to his friend.
"You're not gonna be able to do those moves so easily. It probably took Mr. Toriko years to do those moves."
"But they were so cool~!" Mika replied back with glee in her eyes showing that she still wanted to try. Again, Akio sighed seeing how there was no way in persuading her.
"Interested in learning my Fork and Knife technique, little ones?" The kids looked back as Toriko was now giving them his attention. This made the other members – Sanji, Luffy, Chopper, Nami, and even Terry – shift their attention to the kids wondering what they were up to.
Mika smiled as she grabbed the piece of meat on her leaf plate and held to the group. She then declared, in manner much like her fathers. "I'm gonna use Knife to cut this meat!" Hearing the girl's exclamation, most of the group chuckled finding her determination funny. Only Nami looked at the girl with a serious expression.
"Mika, what did I tell you about playing with your food?"
"I'm not playing, I'm so~ gonna do it. Watch!" With everyone's attention on her, Mika gave the meat a toss. As it came down Mika went to strike. "Knife!" Mika karate chopped the meat only for it to fall even faster and hit the ground. A moment silence passed as no one said a single word while Mika stood posed karate chop form. But it wasn't long until everyone was beginning to snicker and then finally laugh. Poor Mika immediately blushed in embarrassment.
"Nice try, Mika, but your one hundred years too early to be able to use that move." In response to Toriko's playful tease, the still blushing in embarrassment Mika puffed her cheeks out and pouted. This just made the group laugh harder. However, not wanting to see his daughter embarrassed any longer he quickly suggested something else for Mika to show.
"Hey Mika, why not show Toriko your Gum-Gum Pistol? He'll be blown away." While he had meant this earnestly, the poor embarrassed six year old thought it was another way to tease her. Thus her reply was as follows with a pout and turning her head away from Luffy.
"No. Gum-Gum powers are lame."
"Gah!" Like a ton of bricks, Luffy was hit with Mika's tough comeback. Instantly, Luffy separated himself from the cheery group as he now sat in the depressed corner with a dark cloud over him. Incidentally, Mika's comeback made the group laugh even harder though Nami was a bit worried of her husband's state of mind. Especially when she could hear his immature mumbling. "Gum-Gum powers aren't lame. You're lame."
"Oh boy." Nami sighed seeing how her husband was acting even more immature than usual.
"I'm hungry." As the laughter died down and Nami went to nurse Luffy back to his usual happy self, Mika picked up a bowl and walked to where Komatsu was serving up the soup. Acting as if the group didn't exist, she made her way to the chef. She then put on a smile and held her bowl up asking nicely. "Can I have more soup please?"
"Of course, but could you wait a minute?"
"Sure!" agreed Mika almost too eagerly. Komatsu gave a small chuckle as he grabbed an interesting looking container. As he opened the lid, Mika was trying to look inside wondering what the chef was doing. Being the nice guy he was, Komatsu grabbed a few seeds and showed them to Mika.
"These are Spice Seed, Mika. If you add these, they work as a spice and give the soup different additional flavors." Before Mika could say anything, there was a sudden rustling in the trees that gained both Mika and Komatsu's attention. Hiding in the shadow of the trees, koala-like creatures stared down on them with ferocious leering eyes. Then in a flash, both were gone without a single trace.
The Strongest Tag-Team!
Luffy and Toriko's Hard Struggle!
Mika Edition
"Man, I'm stuffed." spoke Luffy sounding full and satisfied. Much like him, Toriko was also just as satisfied.
"That Hungerilla Bird was delicious!" said the man as he lay next to the skeleton on the once formidable Hungerilla Bird. Rest of the group all agreed with them as they too were satisfied from the meal. No one noticed Terry as she noticed something and began to growl.
"Luffy, you should probably go apologize to Mika." Nami spoke to her husband seeing now that he was back to his old self as well as feed. Luffy looked back at her surprised and then pouted childishly.
"Why? She said I was lame."
"No she didn't, she was just a little frustrated."
"Your wife is right, Luffy." Toriko agreed with Nami as he relaxed back with overly large and full stomach. He then went on to say. "Kids can hold long grudges, ain't that right, Akio."
"I don't know." The young boy crossed his arms trying not to let the adult tease him in anyway. Toriko chuckled at the boy's act, but soon his and everyone else's attention was shifted. Terry growled even louder gaining their interest, Toriko then spoke up curious.
"What's up?"
"Komatsu and Mika are missing, he says." Chopper translated for Terry. Instantly, Nami and Luffy stood up forgetting everything that was around them. Much like the concerned parents, the rest of the group gasped.
Moments later, everyone was over to the stew left by Komatsu after he vanished along with Mika. As the group searched around, none searched harder than Nami and Luffy as any parent would. At the cook sight, Akio soon pointed out something on the ground. "What are these footprints?"
Chopper then gave the air a sniff. Oddly, he found it very pleasant. "Something smells nice." Toriko took a whiff himself, but was able to recognize it easily.
"The scent of a top-quality cocoa. There's no mistaking it, these footprints belong to Cocoalas."
"Cocoalas?" asked Sanji.
"I don't care what they are." Everyone looked to Luffy as he spoke sounding very angry. It was very relevant with his angered expression as well as he clenched fist. Everyone looked at Luffy a bit worried though none more than Nami. Luffy then continued speaking. "I'm going to kick their asses!"
"Hold on Luffy!" Toriko spoke out trying to calm down the man from doing something rash. He then tired explaining the creatures, Cocoalas. "I've never seen Cocoalas myself, but their Capture Level is three, and their meat tastes horrible. However, they have super sweet cocoa growing on their backs."
"So some fancy creatures attacked our little Mika." Sanji spoke next sounding calm though just as angry as Luffy was. Along with him, Chopper was just mad as the rest of the Straw Hats. Despite the possible danger, even Nami was raring to fight for the sake of her daughter. Even Akio was ready to fight. With everyone in agreement, the all began running after the beast as Toriko explained the animals' nature.
"Ah, they probably abducted them and are taking them back to their nest. Cocoala are known for gathering anything as their food. And they make their nests on Amatano Fruit Trees."
"Amatano Fruit Tree?" asked Akio.
"Melons, watermelons, apples, mangoes, you name it. It has the sweetness of countless fruits put together. It is also known as 'The Fruits Parlor That Grows on Land'. Ahh! I want some!"
"Food takes priority over your friend's safety?!" said Chopper in is Walk Point. This idea did not sit well with the woman sitting on his back.
"You better not forget my daughter, idiot!"
"R-Right." Toriko nodded back frightened by the dangerous aura that was being emitted from the angry mother. He then looked away from the woman switching to a nervous expression as he thought to himself. 'She's just like a mother animal; scary.'
"Toriko. Where can we find them?" Toriko looked over to his side where Luffy spoke to him. Much like Nami, Luffy was very serious about getting his daughter back as well as Komatsu. Toriko looked forward as he spoke.
"In order to ripen its fruits as much as possible, it's said they grow where the sun shines the most." As the group pushed forward, they soon reached a ledge. Toriko then point out, across the forest where the tallest mountain on the entire island stood towering over all. "There it is."
"So that's it." Sanji spoke as the entire group looked out in awe of the sight of the mountain.
"No doubt about it. That's the Amatano Fruit!" As Toriko spoke, one could see on the top of the highest mountain a plant was growing. It was producing two very large purple berries that could feed a country.
Though the sight was breathtaking, this did not matter for Luffy. "Mika! I'm coming!" shouted Luffy.
Unfortunately, Toriko was less than serious about the rescue mission. "Wait for me, Amatano Fruit!"
"Idiot!" shouted Nami and Sanji soon followed by their fist and foot respectively colliding with Toriko's skull.
Chopper sweat-dropped. "I can't stop pitying Komatsu."
"Me too." Akio said agreeing with Chopper.
Meanwhile back on the coast, the crew that stayed with the Thousand Sunny were barely holding on. "Luffy…" moaned Usopp was he used his Kabuto as a cane moving towards the edge of the ship. The poor man was wasting away evident from his face caving in. "What happened to our food… Luffy…"
Next to him, Zoro was completely fine. "Usopp, you look so much older."
"At this rate you'll be all bones like Brook." Franky said as he relaxed on the grassy deck also unaffected by hunger. His hair; however, was drooping.
A little ways away from Franky's feet was where Brook was laying. Hearing Franky's comment brought the skeleton man alive. "Nice skull joke. Yohohohoho…" But that was all the energy he had and he returned to his face down position.
Robin laughed at her crewmates antics, also remaining strong with Franky and Zoro. The young woman then turned to the island looking worried. "Still…"
We return to Toriko's group as they rush to the mountain with the Amatano Fruit on top. As they ran through the forest, the surroundings began to be covered with a white, warm gas. "What's all this steam?" asked Sanji recognizing the gas.
As the group ran, from the ground came out a gusher of brown liquid. "Geysers?" said Chopper as he, Akio, and Nami noticed the phenomena happen. But then one burst in front of them.
"Hot!" shouted the group as they passed through the geyser. Though they remained unscathed.
"Be careful!" shouted Toriko from the front. "They could come out anywhere!" As he said this, geysers were bursting all around the group.
"These are really hot!" shouted Chopper aggravated from earlier.
"And it ruined my clothes." Nami complained as she looked at her outfit.
As Akio tried to clean himself off, he notice the brown liquid smelled familiar. He licked some of the liquid off his clothes. He then gasped. "So sweet! This is chocolate!"
"No way!" shouted Chopper shocked. He then licked some that was on his fur. He gushed in happiness. "He's right~!"
"Don't get distracted." Toriko warned to the rear. "We have to…huh?" Toriko looked down as he noticed something happening beneath him. Sanji, Luffy, and Chopper noticed as well.
Suddenly one large geyser burst from the ground and sending the group into the sky. "Hot!" shouted the whole group.
As they began to fall, Luffy took notice as to where they were falling. "Oh crap! It's a river!" Luffy shouted in fear.
"What?!" shouted Chopper as he too is a Devil Fruit user.
Toriko did not understand what was wrong. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"Devil Fruit users can't swim!" shouted Nami.
"What!" Toriko shouted as the group fell into the white river.
As the group rose above the white water, Luffy and Chopper – now in Brain Point – were splashing around as if drowning. Only they weren't sinking. They both soon took notice. "Huh? This isn't water." Luffy said as he looked at the river they were in.
Toriko lifted his hand up as he inspected the water in the river. Amazingly, it was not water. "Cream…" said Toriko stunned. "This is a whipped cream river!"
"Delicious!" shouted Chopper in joy as he floated on top of the cream river licking his hoof.
"Don't spoil your appetite Akio." Nami said as she floated near the young boy.
The poor boy was so close to trying some, but relented. "Yes, Mrs. Monkey."
"All right, we're almost there!" said Toriko as he looked ahead. Indeed, the river of cream was bringing our group ever closer to rescuing Mika.
Luffy soon saw his opportunity to get out as he launched his arm up into a tree. He soon caught his wife and Akio and swung up onto dry land with them. He landed gently and let go of Nami and Akio. He then looked off to the side where Toriko and Sanji were already out. Out of the river came Terry with Chopper in her mouth. Once on dry land, she set the reindeer down. With the whole group together, they were ready to continue forward.
"Once we're past this forest, we'll reach the Amatano Fruit." Toriko said informing the group.
Luffy was already to go, but stopped when he heard growling. Terry soon responded with her own growling. Chopper instantly became nervous. "What was that sound?"
From the forest came out a lion though his mane looked like an asterisk made out of sponge. Toriko didn't seem too worried about the lion's arrival. "Just as I thought, a Caste Leo."
"Caste Leo?" repeated Sanji confused.
The lion then gave out a roar. It was a weak roar though as none of the group was afraid. "Capture Level 4. Its mane is made of soft, delicious castella (AN: No idea what that is)!" said Toriko sounding a little excited.
The lion approached the group, but as said before no one was really all that scared of him. Even Akio didn't find the lion a threat. "You trying to joke around with that faint growling roar?" Akio said mocking the lion.
"We're trying to get to Mika! If you get in our way I won't forgive you whoever you are!" shouted Luffy in anger. Luffy then charged at the lion.
The lion saw his opponent and released another roar, but this one was different. It seemed to have a shock wave type roar that stopped Luffy in his tracks. The man covered his ears and was then sent flying back. "Luffy!" shouted Nami and Chopper, the latter quickly shifting forms to catch Luffy.
Now in Heavy Point, Chopper caught Luffy though both crashed into a tree. "What was that?" asked Luffy stunned by the lion's sudden attack.
"A sound shockwave." Chopper said just as surprised.
"Its castella sponge emits sound." Toriko said informing the group. "It's like a giant speaker."
"Are there any countermeasures?" asked Sanji to Toriko.
"Let's see. Can you make it concentrate its attacks to the front?"
"All right!" Sanji then joined the fight. He was joined by Terry.
"What are you going to do? One of those techniques?" asked Nami as she walked up next to Toriko. The man didn't reply held out his fist downward. It looked like he was preparing for something. This caught the young woman's attention.
Sanji and Terry charged straight at the Caste Lion. The lion then gave another roar sending another sound shockwave. Sanji and Terry stopped and endured the shock wave and thus gaining the Caste Lion's attention. Toriko then took his chance. "Now's the chance!" shouted Toriko.
"Mr. Toriko!" shouted Akio.
"Toriko!" shouted Luffy.
"It can only fire its shockwaves forward." Toriko charged to the lion's side. "The side are completely open!"
He then punched the lion's side. "Three-fold Nail Punch!" Not only did the lion get hit once, with tremendous power, but it was followed up twice with the same amount. It sent the lion flying back. It then laid defeated.
Akio, Chopper, and Luffy were amazed by Toriko's new technique. "Amazing! What was that?!" shouted Chopper.
"Like hammering a nail into something, you punch one spot several times. It's called Nail Punch." Toriko said.
Terry then growled. Everyone took notice. Soon more Caste Leos began to appear from the forest. The lions soon surrounded the group. Sanji looked a little annoyed. "I guess there were more of them."
"And they're huge!" shouted Nami as she held up her Perfect Clima-Tact.
"They move in groups. Five Caste Leos and one small Caste Leo." Toriko said remaining calm. "Looks like we're surrounded."
The lions then went to attack the group. But then their came a shout. "Spatula!" And a energy ball came crashing into two of the lions. The group gasped, but Toriko recognized who had attacked. From the sky descended a man with long hair with a unique coloration of pink, white, light blue, and mint green. As the man landed in front of the group, he looked back at them brushing his hair. "What a beautiful way to make an entrance."
"Sunny!" shouted Toriko happily.
Another Caste Leo went to strike. "Poison Rifle!" shouted another newcomer as he shot poison from his hand. It hit the lion forcing it to stop its attack on Chopper and Luffy.
"Endorphin Smoke!" This time a female voice spoke. From her hand a device shot out smoke.
"What's happening?" asked Akio confused.
"It got quiet." Sanji said.
The two newcomers landed just before the group. A man with black hair and a white cloak wearing a green bandana. To his back was young black haired woman with a scar under her right eye. The man spoke, "Yo, Toriko."
"Coco! Rin!" shouted Toriko recognizing them.
"Toriko! I'm glad you're okay!" said Rin as she covered her mouth and blushed.
"Ho! An Angel has descended!" shouted Sanji as he fell instantly for Rin.
Luffy was quite impressed. "Wow! Are they your friends, Toriko?"
"Ah, yeah." Toriko said though sounding a bit confused. "Why are you guys here?"
"I heard you went to capture the Hungrilla Bird." Coco said explaining the situation. "So I came to tell you the secret of the Hungrilla Island-"
"Anyway!" Rin suddenly interrupted Coco. "You're so mean leaving me behind, Toriko! It was so hard finding this island, and really annoying, too."
"By the way…" said Coco as he noticed their present company. He didn't recognize those of Luffy's group, but he did not see who he was looking for. "Where's Komatsu?"
"He got kidnapped by the Cocoalas." Toriko said informing the man.
"What?"
"Mika is with them too!" shouted Chopper trying to make his point very clear.
The newcomers gasped. "This is totally sick! It spoke!" shouted Sunny.
Explanations would have to wait as the smoke began clearing. The Caste Leos had returned. "They're back." Toriko said seeing them through the smoke.
"We don't have time to waste!" shouted Nami as she readied to fight.
"We have to get Mika back right away!" shouted Luffy just as determined as his wife.
"But these guys are tricky." Sanji said recalling earlier.
"Beautiful." Sunny said while his hand was in front of his face. "The feeling for your friend-"
"Mika's our daughter." Luffy and Nami said interrupting Sunny.
"And, um, daughter is more beautiful than anything." Sunny quickly amended his sentence. He then turned to Toriko. "Toriko, leave this place to us and get Komatsu."
"We'll be fine by ourselves." Rin said reassuring Toriko.
"You guys…" Toriko said feeling touched.
Coco turned to the Straw hat group. "C'mon, you guys too, hurry!"
"Thanks!" shouted Luffy and Nami. They both then rushed out of the smoke with their crew behind them.
Toriko turned to his friends. "I'm counting on you three. I'll definitely get the Amatano Fruit!" He and Terry then follow after the Straw Hat group.
The group watched Toriko leave confused. "Huh?" said Sunny.
"Amatano Fruit?" repeated Rin.
"What about Komatsu?" Coco asked.
"Isn't Toriko's goal slightly off?" Sunny commented feeling a bit worried. The Caste Leos roared at the three fighters left. None of them batted an eye to their display. "Either way…"
All three fighter geared up. Rin loaded her arm cannon. Sunny's hair came alive. Coco began covering his arm in poison. All of them were ready to face the lions. "We'll play with you!" shouted Sunny.
Toriko's group raced through the forest as quickly as possible. Toriko seemed a bit more serious. Luffy took notice. "What's up Toriko?"
"I was just wondering why the Caste Leo didn't attack the Cocoalas, who have a lower Capture Level then them."
"Huh?" said Sanji.
"If they were to get to the summit, the Cocoala must have gone past this area as well. They weren't able to move fast while carrying Komatsu and Mika, so they should have made perfect targets for the Caste Leos, but they were still starving. There must have been a reason why they didn't eat the Cocoalas. I have a bad feeling about this." Toriko said smiling at the end. The group continued their way towards the Amatano Fruit.
On top of the mountain beneath the large Amatano Fruit, the Cocoalas had brought up their prisoners. "Let us go!" shouted Mika as she tried fighting the Cocoalas grip. "I'm warning you! I'll Knife and Fork you all to death!"
While Mika tried to fight, Komatsu seemed surprisingly calm. "This is…" Hearing Komatsu, Mika settled down and looked at the chef. The man shouted in amazement. "The Amatano Fruits!"
"Huh?" said Mika.
"I-It's the first time I've seen one! I'm moved!" Komatsu said in enjoyment. "I wonder what it tastes like. How can I cook it to bring out its taste...?"
Mika was quite interested in what Komatsu was saying. "Is it good?"
"Is it good? It's…" Komatsu stopped when the Cocoalas carrying them became vocal and lively.
All of the Cocoalas were beginning to stand at attention. From behind the plant appeared a mighty beast that looked much like a Cocoala on steroids. Komatsu and Mika gasped in shock when the saw the mighty beast crawl on top of the vines of the Amatano Fruit. Both Komatsu and Mika screamed in fright.
Toriko's group was running up the mountain. They all heard Komatsu and Mika's screams. "That's…" said Sanji.
"Mika!" shouted Luffy and Nami. The two then began picking up speed out racing even the Battle Wolf.
"Holy!" shouted Toriko amazed by the feat Luffy and Nami were performing.
Both of them made it over the edge of the crater and then stopped seeing what was in the crater's center. The rest of the group soon caught up. They were shocked to see that there were many Cocoalas at the base of the crater looking ready to attack. "So many koalas!" gasped Akio.
Captured by the big koala, Mika looked out she saw everyone and shouted out to them. "Daddy! Mama!"
"Toriko!" shouted Komatsu after Mika.
"Mika!" shouted Luffy and Nami again.
"That's…" said Toriko as he beheld the giant koala. "A Dotsukuzo Koala! It must be the boss!" (AN: Dotsuku mean to nudge, shove or poke)
The mighty marsupial beast gave out a mighty roar. Mika and Komatsu were both stuck in the koalas pouch. Toriko soon explained the large koala. "I heard that Cocoala become Dotsukuzo Koala once they're fully matured… But I've never heard of a Dotsukuzo Koala of that size."
Terry gave a growl. Toriko continued on to say, "Now we know why the Caste Leo didn't attack the Cocoalas. They were afraid of their boss, the Dotsukuzo Koala!"
The monster koala gave a roar. The smaller koalas responded as they got on their hind legs ready to fight. Toriko was quite interested in the display. "They've shown their true nature."
The large koala gave out another roar and then the Cocoalas began charging the group. "My, my. I guess we have to defeat these guys to get to Mika." Sanji said annoyed. He then charged forward and attacked. Only the koalas dodged many of his hits. In fact, they were jumping all over the place. "They're so agile!"
"Once in their fighting mode, their Capture Level appears to more than three." Toriko commented to the other before rushing in.
"Hey, Toriko!" shouted Akio as he was about to follow. He was soon stopped by Nami with the use of her Perfect Clima-Tact.
"You stay here, Akio." Nami said to the boy. She then followed Luffy's lead. "Chopper, protect Akio!"
"Right, Nami!" shouted Chopper before he began screaming as one of Cocoalas reached the edge.
Toriko, Luffy, and Nami ran past Sanji as he fought back a Cocoala. He saw the three rush past him. "Luffy! Get Mika back!" Sanji shouted.
"We'll leave this part to you!" shouted Toriko to Sanji. Luffy didn't respond as he punched one of the Cocoalas.
"Got it!" shouted Sanji as he knocked the Cocoala back. Another one then tried to attack Sanji. "Why you!"
"Um, what about me?" asked Komatsu seeing how everyone's attention, as spoken, seemed to be on Mika.
"Kick their butts!" shouted Mika excitedly.
Terry jumped from the edge of the crater, howling in the process, and landed in front of several Cocoalas. He then took care of a few that thought they could defeat the young Battle Wolf. Chopper shifted into Heavy Point and had Akio on his shoulder holding a branch. Chopper jumped up with three Cocoalas following. Two got on Chopper's arms, but the third was batted away thanks to Akio. Chopper easily knocked off the other two. The large gorilla man then landed in the crater with several Cocoalas surrounding him and Akio. Chopper shouted determinedly, "I won't let you interfere with Luffy and Nami!"
"Me either!" shouted Akio holding his makeshift weapon.
Nami had found her own fight a few Cocoalas. She looked to be nervous. One of the koalas went to strike Nami only for it to go through her. "Mirage Tempo!" shouted Nami's voice as she then reappeared with several copies of herself all looking different from the original. The five Namis then had their Perfect Clima-Tact light up with electricity.
"Thunder Charge! Thunder Ball!" The Namis then launched many Thunder Balls towards the koalas. Some koala were being hit while others were scared by the sight a purposely tried to dodge. They soon found that some were fake only for it to be too late. Soon, many Cocoalas were charred on the ground. Nami smirked. "Don't with a mother on a mission…"
From the battlefield, those on the Sunny could hear the growls of the animals echo across the island. Robin was currently standing behind the railing wondering what was going on. "It's getting noisy."
"All right." Franky said as he stood up. This garnered everyone's attention. "There's no use waiting here forever. Let's move the ship to the back of the island."
"I can't move on an empty stomach." Usopp whined in a weak voice.
"It could prove to be all pains, though I'm all bone-"
"Stop complaining and hoist the sails!" ordered Franky interrupting what would have been a potential skull joke.
Returning to the battle, Toriko shot straight towards the boss koala. The big koala swiped downwards sending Toriko crashing into the ground. Luffy soon took his chance and ran straight to the beast. He jumped and tried to hit the beast, only it skillfully dodged. Luffy was shocked as the beast then attacked Luffy sending him to the ground. Luffy landed with a soft thud and quickly recovered. Mika and Komatsu shouted to their heroes worried for them.
"Daddy!"
"Toriko!"
"Luffy! You okay?" shouted Toriko to Luffy.
"Yeah!" shouted Luffy.
"Damn koala… The Capture Level 5 seems to be a hoax!" Toriko said getting angry.
The large koala began jumping on the Amatano stems almost like it was mocking Toriko and Luffy. It then began swinging on the stems with great skill and used it to attack the two fighters. Luckily, both of them got out of the way of its strike. "Dammit!" shouted Toriko frustrated.
"Give me back my daughter!" shouted Luffy his own rage bubbling.
"Yeah, give me the Amatano Fruit!" shouted Toriko very seriously.
"What?! You didn't come to save me?!" shouted Komatsu shocked.
The koala beast roared again and tried to strike at Luffy and Toriko. They both were able to dodge the attack as the beast swung on the stem of the plant again. However it soon redirected itself and came around for a second attack. This time it hit Luffy. "Luffy!" shouted Toriko. Again, Luffy recovered quickly.
The koala soon took advantage of Toriko's distraction and brought its fists together to strike the man. "Toriko!" shouted Luffy. As the smoke cleared, Toriko was holding back the koala's attack with all his strength. He couldn't take much more and so he redirected the attack away from him. Toriko then quickly jumped back.
"What strength!" Toriko commented sounding fairly impressed.
"All right, now's my turn!" Luffy dashed toward the koala. He jumped and prepared his attack. "Gum-Gum…" But before he could fire his attack, the koala moved as so Mika and Komatsu would be the targets of Luffy's attack. Seeing his daughter, and new friend, Luffy stopped himself. The koala then took advantage and smacked the rubber man away.
Toriko took his chance and used the stem of the Amatano Fruit to try and get behind the giant koala. Believing he had the upper hand, Toriko attacked. "Knife!" Slashed out, but the koala dodged just in time using its agility and the Amatano stem.
"Bastard! Stop using Mika and Komatsu as a shield!" shouted Luffy in rage.
The koala did not care. It soon began spinning around the stem getting faster and faster. Its passengers did not seem to be liking the ride. The beast spinning on the plant began to make the whole plant begin to shake. This caused Toriko to lose a little of his balance. The koala took this opportunity to strike at Toriko with its claws, which tore apart Toriko's orange jacket and blue undershirt. "Toriko!" shouted Luffy.
Toriko landed on the ground feeling much pain. The koala then continued to spin on the large plant stem. Mika and Komatsu screamed in panic. "Mika! Komatsu!" shouted Luffy worried.
"As expected of the Amatano Fruit Tree." Toriko said thus gaining Luffy's attention. "It won't budge even with Dotsukuzo Koala's extreme movements. Moreover, it helped the Dotsukuzo Koala increase the power of its attack!"
"Sounds tricky." Luffy said understanding what Toriko was saying.
Toriko then smiled. "But those giant trunks must be sending excellent nutrients to the fruit." Toriko then stood up and walked over to Luffy. He wore a very hungry grin. "Amatano Fruit… I'll definitely eat it!"
While the others continued to fight the Cocoalas, Sanji had heard Toriko's declaration. "He's still talking about that!"
Luffy smiled at Toriko even chuckling a bit. "Yeah…"
Nami heard her husband's comment and was shocked. "Luffy, not you too!"
"What are you thinking?" shouted Chopper as he punch one of the Cocoalas.
"Captain!" shouted Akio shocked.
Toriko and Luffy then clapped their hands together. Luffy then spoke "With gratitude to…"
"All the ingredients in the world…" Toriko said as he continued where Luffy left off.
"Itadakimasu!" shouted both fighters.
The koala then came stomping towards them. Mika had heard much of what her father said, but didn't offended. In fact, she was watching with a curious gaze. Luffy and Toriko then charged straight at the koala. Luffy shot out his arms. It looked like it was to hit the koala, but instead his arms crossed pass each other and grabbed onto the trunks of the tree. Luffy then jumped and was followed by Toriko. Luffy passed over the giant koala, flipped around, and stretched back behind the koala. He then shot his legs out and wrapped them around the trunk as well. Toriko went to punch the koala, but missed. This did not seem to be a problem for Toriko. As he flew towards Luffy, both men smiled like they knew what the other was thinking. Toriko ran into Luffy and the two stretched back even further.
"Gum-Gum…" shouted Luffy.
"Nail Punch!" shouted Toriko as he was launched towards the koala. The man hit just above where Mika and Komatsu were being held. The punch sent the koala flying.
Luffy then launched himself forward to follow the koala. He then stretched out his arms to grab Mika and Komatsu just before the massive koala could fly out of range. Luffy landed on the edge of the crater while the koala was sent flying into a nearby mountain. Both Komatsu and Mika were safe in his arms. As Toriko landed, he stood up straight with a victorious smirk and clapped his hands together. Luffy saw this action and copied. On the mountain nearby, the giant koala seemed to have made quite a mark on the mountain, like it was made of a soft material of some sorts. Both men shouted, "Thank you for the meal."
"All right, let's eat the Amatano Frui-" When Toriko looked up at the fruit tree, he could see that the whole thing was shaking. "Huh?"
"What? They're shaking." Luffy said confused.
In the crater, the Cocoalas suddenly began to turn tail and ran. This confused Sanji. "W-What's going on?"
The Cocoalas ran past all the fighters. Akio spoke out to the creatures, "Hey, you guys!"
Suddenly Sunny, Coco, and Rin appeared next to Luffy and others. Sunny shouted out, "Like, it's totally trouble!"
"What?" Luffy asked still confused.
"Everyone! Get off the mountain!" Toriko soon began running as the Amatano Fruit Tree began shaking even more violently.
"What?!" shouted the group in the crater.
The group soon rushed off the mountain. Luffy carried Mika in his arms as the group made it to the foot of the mountain. And just in time too. The mountain top soon exploded with a caramel colored liquid taking the Amatano Fruit Tree with it. The group watched this from a safe distance wondering what was happening. "The true form of the island will appear." Coco said rather mysteriously.
"The true form?" asked Toriko.
"I told you before that we've come to tell you the secret of Hungrilla Island." Coco explained.
"Yeah." Toriko said as the mountain was suddenly losing its once rocky exterior and now becoming something similar to pudding.
Meanwhile, the Sunny was sailing along the coast as fire balls rained down from the island. On deck, some of what was falling just barely missed hitting Franky and Usopp. More stuff rained down on the Sunny this time one of them hitting Usopp. The young sniper screamed in pain. "Are you alright?" asked Franky.
Usopp soon relaxed and looked up at his hands. He looked to be shocked. "It's sweet." Usopp commented.
"It's delicious! Like caramel!" shouted Chopper as he had some on him
"What?" Toriko was shocked by Chopper's statement. He then took a taste of some of the gooey stuff on his hat and tasted it. "You're right!"
Toriko then looked at Coco. "What's the meaning of this?"
"From ancient times, the legend of the Hungrilla bird has been recorded in countless books. Our ancestors have passed down the books for generations." Coco explained.
Toriko nodded. "That's why I used the book as a guide to find this island and capture the Hungrilla Bird."
Sunny then spoke up. "However, the legendary ingredient wasn't actually the Hungrilla Bird."
"Huh?" said the group that had previous captured the Hingrilla Bird in Part one.
"They misinterpreted the word 'bird' and 'island', and it got mistaken while being passed down through generations." Rin said fixing the error the book had made.
"So the legendary ingredient is…" said Luffy.
"The whole island!" Mika shouted in amazement.
"The island itself is the legendary ingredient." Toriko said as the island began making its final preparations. "An all-natural pudding a la mode!"
"Awesome!" shouted Luffy and Mika in joy.
On the coast, the rest of the Straw Hats had anchored Sunny and came ashore. "What the heck is this!?" shouted Usopp he and the others beheld the island.
In front of them was the cream river which have various large berries floating down it. In the background was two chocolate waterfalls. Despite the impressive scene, Robin couldn't help but wonder. "I wonder if Luffy and the others are all right."
Inland, Toriko was cutting into a red-pink, gelatinous piece of dessert. Luffy was eating the same. They both shouted out in joy, "So tasty!" They were both on the Amatano Fruit that had survived the caramel explosion and landed back on top of the pudding mountain.
"This sweetness, like compressing countless fruit into one! So this is the Amatano Fruit!" shouted Toriko in glee. "It lives up to the name 'The Fruits Parlor That Grows on Land'!"
"Nami! Mika! You have to try this!" Luffy shouted as he jumped off the fruit carrying some of it with him. When he met with Nami, he saw that the woman did not seem too happy with him. Mika stood in front of her looking excited to try the Amatano fruit. Still, Luffy's focus was on Nami. "Something wrong?"
"Well, there's the matter of you thinking of your stomach earlier…" Nami said harshly recalling the pep talk just before beating the koala.
Luffy scratched his head embarrassed. "Sorry, but I was also thinking of sharing it with you and Mika. See!" Luffy then held up the piece of the fruit he had gotten.
Nami was a bit surprised by this. "Thanks Daddy!" shouted Mika happily as she took the fruit. Seeing how her daughter didn't seem offended, Nami decided to forgive Luffy and accepted his apology gift.
"I forgive you, but give me a little warning next time." Nami said as she took the fruit.
"Okay!" said Luffy happily.
"Mmmm! It's delicious!" shouted Mika as she twirled around in glee.
Nami soon had a bite as well. "Oh! It's very sweet." Luffy chuckled seeing his wife happy.
With the whole island as one big dessert, everyone soon became part of the eating frenzy. And spear-heading this movement was Toriko and Luffy as they rushed around the island eating everything in sight.
"Hey, Toriko! Could it be that this whole island is made of pudding?" asked Luffy getting excited.
"This is delicious!"
"Hey! I wanted to eat that part!"
"Who cares! There's plenty left! Hey, the mountain next to us is ice cream!"
"What?! You should've told me sooner!
"Hey!" shouted Chopper's voice. "This castella is great too!"
"Isn't that the mane of the Caste Leo?" commented Sanji curiously.
There then came a growl. "What?!" screamed Chopper as it turned out to be just that, the Caste Leo.
Over time, the island became to shrink as all its natural wonders where being gobbled by Toriko and Luffy. By the afternoon, not much was left on the island.
"You've eaten all of this, but it won't make it on your Full Course menu?" shouted Nami in disbelief.
In front of her, both Luffy and Toriko were on the ground with their bellies protruding out greatly. Toriko did not seem concerned by Nami's outburst. "Well, it's a big world. There are still plenty of tasty things around.
"You are such a glutton!" shouted Luffy teasingly.
Behind Nami was Chopper – now Brain Point – and Sanji with a barrel on his back. "Our food supply is all settled. We're ready to set sail anytime." Sanji said with a smile.
"Alright!" Luffy soon got back on his feet. He then turned to Toriko. "Well then, we'll be going."
"Hey, wait. Where's Mika and Akio?" asked Chopper not seeing the kids around.
Speak of the devil, suddenly two blurs rushed past the adults. The adults looked over to see Mika and Akio jumping up down. They both had a crazy look in their eyes and they were smiling way too much. Toriko recognized the condition the kids were in. "Sugar Rush…"
"Oh no…" Nami said as she face-palmed.
"Mom! Mom! Mom! Dad! Dad! Dad! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!" shouted Mika energetically and very fast.
"What?" Luffy and Nami said.
"Hi!" Mika then laughed and began running around. Akio seemed to be just jittery.
"We'll get them, Nami." Sanji said as he and Chopper and went to grab Mika and Akio.
Nami still had her face in her hand. "They're never going to sleep…"
Luffy chuckled and soon began to walk towards the Sunny with his wife. He waved to Toriko. "Later, Toriko. Let's meet again."
"Yeah, let's meet again someday." Toriko said to Luffy with Komatsu and Terry nearby him. "When we do, I'll treat you to the Full Course of my life."
"Yeah, I'll be looking forward to it, Toriko!" smiled Luffy. He and the others then left for the Sunny just nearby.
"See ya, Luffy!" shouted Toriko.
"See ya!" shouted Chopper back to the man.
"Goodbye!" shouted Komatsu to the group. Terry gave a howl saying her goodbye.
"ByeToriko! ByeKomatsu! ByeTerry!" shouted Mika super-fast.
Coco, Sunny, and Rin soon walked up behind Komatsu. They watched as their pirate friends left, though they looked a little confused. "It's fine having a happy farewell but…"
"Who the hell are they?" said both Coco's group and the Sunny group as they caught sight of each other. Toriko and Luffy just laughed, hoping to see each other soon.
As the Sunny began saying away, Nami shouted to the others. "We got our food supplies, so let's get out of this place!"
"It's all pudding!" shouted Zoro shocked.
"No, no, they say pudding will taste like sea urchins if you put soy sauce on them, and they can have a lot of variety…" said Usopp, but then he caught himself. "BUT WE CAN CATCH SEA URCHINS IN THE SEA!"
Luffy just laughed at his friends joke. Then there came two thuds. "Ah! Mika! Akio!"
"The sugar must have finally gotten out of their system." Chopper commented.
Seeing the pirates off, Toriko turned to Komatsu. "All right, Komatsu, should we get going too? To find more ingredients!"
"Yes, Toriko!"
What adventures will Toriko and his friends have? What lies in wait for the Straw Hats? Will they ever see each other again? Maybe one day soon, they will meet again.
