An: OMG another update, I should probably do this once a week, but I'm still motivated to write.
Someone once said, that the heat of the boiling sun, there is a beautifully cooked, sweet sauce giving off a delicious aroma. A desert of yakisoba, yakisobaku. Overflowing with chocolate and covered with syrup, there is a tree that will become, a thick sweet desert, a chocolate fon-jyu. The world is in the gourmet age, the age of pursuing undiscovered tastes.
Puffer whale fish, it's only once every ten years that the puffer whale, the rarest of flavors in the deep seas, shows itself in shallow waters. With its extremely delicate body, it has fatty meet similar to a large tuna, at the same time, it has incredible flavor. Of course removing part of its body that is poisonous is very difficult, only a select portion of the meat is suitable for consumption, it is said that there are ten in the people of the world who can handle it. The puffer whales poison is so deadly that if you took .as little as .2 milligrams, you would die. If you puncture the poisonous gland, the meat will be exposed to the toxins, and you won't be able to eat any of it, that's why it's so difficult to prepare. The meat has become poisoned often times in the past and has been acquired in the black market. The puffer whale lays its eggs at a depth of 800 meter, they are concealed deep within a labyrinth, beast filled cave, but the most dangerous beast, is that demonic snake, straight out of hell, the devil snake.
That's what I got from the information broker and the internet for anyway. I contacted my boss that I'm going on an expedition to get the puffer whale fish, they were flabbergasted, it's either I have gone to the deep end or have gone completely crazy. I was adamant of course, still they would not let me go so they decided to hire a bodyguard a bishokuya, one named Toriko, the gluttonous heavenly king. In the end I agreed and the not messing with the main characters blew out of proportion.
3 Days later at Rail Road Gourmet Train
"Ohh, ohh, you must be Zed-kun, I'm Toriko, nice to meet you."
"Ahh, Toriko-san, I've heard your exploits, your recent one was the Rainbow fruit, I hope you found a chef or cook for it."
"I couldn't find any sadly, so I had granny Setsuno make it for me, she was kind enough to prepare the dish."
"I see, hmmm, your already eating and drinking I see."
"Hmmm, vhhhanna, vvooiin, mee?, munch, munch."
"Don't mind if I do." I said as I pulled out some dishes out of my ass aptly named by my pocket dimension knife."
"Wwhat the heck? ptew, pfffteww." Said Toriko choking at my little display.
"What's the matter Toriko-san aren't you hungry?." I said as I pulled another dish.
Toriko couldn't help but drool at the aroma of the dish, it even drew other Bishokuya on the train.
"Gulp." Toriko said as he then took a bite at one of my dishes. He couldn't help but cry tears of joy from the deliciousness.
"Sonny, can I have some of your booze and food?." Said an eccentric old man who I know is knocking master Jiro.
"Sure thing mister." I said as I withdraw another set of dishes from my pocket dimension and some of my wine collection.
"Thank, you laddy, I'll be sure to repay you one day." Said Jiro as he took the wine and the dish with a smile on his face.
Meanwhile Toriko was stuffing himself silly, I can see why he is indeed the gluttun king.
"Delicious!." Said Toriko salivating along with an audience we seem to have gathered.
"Would you guys like to have some?." I said and the other bishokuya replied with a nod so I gave them some dishes and wine.
The train was filled with merry making instead of intimidation that day.
Overall it was an interesting experience, I even met Zonge-san, that Toriko mistakes for Zombie as his name.
"Attention, we will be arriving at the destination in 5 minutes."
5 minutes later.
"We have arived, Toriko-san, why aren't there any people here?, there's someone who can prepare a puffer whale meat in this city right?."
"There should be beasts running around the city at the moment, fortune tellers have predicted that the city will be overrun by wild beasts, while that's happening, all the people hide in their homes, speaking of which, the prophecy that about the puffer whale fish also originated from this village."
"ROAR!."
"Is that?."
"Yes it is, you can it neither cooked or boiled Kuendon capture level 10."
"Hmm, theres a person walking here in the path of the Kuendon, Watch out!." I shouted but was ignored and the person continued walking.
The Kuendon took a sniff off the person and then decided to ignore it.
"Just as I predicted, an unpleasant guest has arrived."
"I'm glad we ran into you here, nothing less can be expected from the gentlemen of the four heavenly kings, Coco!."
"It's nice to see you again, the gluttonous heavenly king Toriko!."
I decided to let those too catch up while I'm sipping tea at the sidelines.
"And this my client Zed-kun."
"Hello, I'm Zed, a simple chef." I said being humble.
"I see, why don't we go to my house." Said Coco.
"Sure." Said Toriko.
Who knew Coco's house was very faraway in the mountain.
Toriko and Coco were reminiscing in the good ol' days while I just followed behind them.
"Skreee!."
"Is that?."
"Yes, meet emperor Crow 'Kiss', he's part of my family."
"Kiss, can you carry 3 people?."
"Scree!."
"Okay everyone, hop on." Said Coco as we hopped on the giant flying bird to reach Coco's house
Coco's House
"I think the rainbow fruit is perfect for desert, it's just as I saw in my premonition."
"Hey, do you think you could be a little more refined?." Coco asked Toriko who just shrugged and replied.
"How are things going on with you?, did you finish your lifetime full course menu?."
"Ahh, my menu, the soup is made from the tears of the Lee dragon, then there is the be so swordfish steak and so on. I want to put a menu with a fine balance of nutrition. I haven't decided on the hors d'oeuvre, the main course or the drinks, but that's not what you came here to discuss with me. Actually you came here with a request for me to help you capture the puffer whale fish."
"Actually, I wanted to go on my own, but my boss wanted someone with me." I said to Coco.
Shock came from Coco.
"My prediction, wrong?, how could it be?."
"Really now, The puffer whales poison is so deadly that if you took as little as .2 milligrams, you would die." Said Coco.
"The puffer whale lays its eggs at a depth of 800 meter, they are concealed deep within a labyrinth, beast filled cave, but the most dangerous beast, is that demonic snake, straight out of hell, the devil snake." Coco continued.
"Yup, I got the same in for from the information broker I paid for."
Shock came from Coco again that this time he used his fortune telling ability.
"How can this be, I can't read your fortune!." Said the shocked Coco.
"Hehehe, Hi-mit-su." I said in a teasing voice.
"Anywho, Ignore him for now Coco, I know that we will need your experties."
"Okay then, to the puffer whale cave!." Said an enthusiastic Coco.
"What!, he recovered that fast?." I thought as Coco was sulking a moment ago.
Puffer whale Cave
"Were here at the mouth of the puffer whale cave, the chances of coming out of this cave alive are said to be 0.01%. It is also speculated that the puffer whale caught here will be worth 500 million yen, according to the IGO, it is only here is the entrance to the puffer whale fish, the breeding grounds are said to be within the cave, connected to the sea by a sandy beach, because it's impossible to get from the sea, which is 1000 meters deep, to the beach, there is no choice but to enter the labyrinthine cave." I said from my information.
"You sure came prepared Zed-kun." Now to the cave.
30 minutes later.
"Kyaaaaa!."
"Ohh it's zombie-kun."
"It's Zonge!, Kyaaaa!, this is disgusting, this entire cave is disgusting." Said Zonge running from giant insects.
"Were safe, it's all thanks to Coco." I said to him which lifted his mood.
30 minutes later
"It's getting narrow here huh."
"Yeah, but there's no mistaking it that it's here."
"Im amazed Coco can lead efficiently in this dark cave."
"Coco can see part of the spectrum, that regular humans can't from the infrared to the ultraviolet, he can see them all."
"As you know, eyes contain cells that take in light called photo receptors. My photo receptors cells are much stronger than the average person's, so even in this pitch darkness, I'm able to see things as it were bright as day."
"But that's not all, Coco's eyes can also see electromagnetic waves, which regular humans can't."
"Yes, that's true, my vision allows me to see changes in the shape and color of the electromagnetic waves that people emit, which allows me to see their futures."
"Shhshshhshshshshshhshs."
"I can hear a sound."
"It's scorpion cockroach, capture level 7, leave it to me." Said Coco as he drove the scorpion cockroaches away.
"Looks like they are able sense the threat of Coco's poison."
"Bishokuya, will artificially create antibodies within themselves in order to oppose foes that carries poison, I have 70 different antibodies, but Coco has 500 different antibodies inside of him." Said Toriko.
"Because my body is able to withstand, much more poison than the average person, I've been able to produce all those antibodies. Antibodies are normally made by slowly injecting a miniscule amount of poison over the body in a long period of time, Because I have large amount of poisons injected into my body, the poisons within my body mix to create new poisons, It has enough strength to send beasts running for their lives, and so now, I'm a poisonous human, an existance without grace." Coco explained.
"Coco is hunted by scientists that are aiming into creating new antitoxins from his blood, there have been even some who've tried to have Coco himself isolated as a top class dangerous creature, left his job as a bishokuya in order to escape having any ties with them." Explained Toriko.
"You guys must have each his own burdens, I'm surprised you let a stranger like me know all this, are you sure I'm worthy of such trust?."
"That's your reaction?, Pfthahahahahahaha, oh god, oh god, Hahahahahahaha, usually the ones who hears our stories will try to run away or want to have nothing to do with us anymore, pfthahahaha, thank you Zed-kun, for understanding us, that is enough for us to move on."
"Toriko, about 100 meters below us the hole widens, I'll go first since I can see clearly."
Down the hole.
"Look there are sea fireflies, which means the beach is close."
"WAAAAAAAHHHHHH!."
"A bishokuya?."
"Something's coming."
"Toriko!."
"Ahh, were going straight down now!."
Down the cave a flock of swallowtail bats were flocking towards us.
"Leave it to me." Said Coco as he concentrated his posion on his hands and said.
"Poison dressing!." Said Coco as he flicked his hands towards the bats where his poison secretions landed on them. It was enough to get the bats away from us
"It looks like the bats are running away from something."
"GRAHHHH!." A screech from a creature who revealed itself a dark blue colored giant snake with 3 eyes.
"This is bad, a demon devil snake!."
