Redsnidget: Wow! Lots of review, it make me so happy to continues this story. I'll try my best to write more for you all Reviewers! Enjoy the Chapter three! C:
Toriko belong to Mistutoshi Shimabukuro, OC belong to Redsnidget.
The ride in the white limo went quietly as Komatsu and Kai continues to watching Toriko scoop up a Golden Salmon Roe in a large pot dish with a wooden spoon as Toriko sigh in delight, "Muhooo, look at this, Tom, for the sake of acquiring the 'Fruit of rainbow' gave me one hundred kg of golden salmon roe." He then start to shove the wooden spoon filled with golden salmon roe into his mouth to chew it.
"Man..that does looks good…I want some Toriko!" Kai whines, whip out her own spoon out from nowhere and grab some of those cause Toriko to growls, overprotective of his pot as he glares at Kai who chew happily with one scoop of Golden Salmon roe.
"Delicious~ no wonder it have this crunchy aftertaste~" Kai taunt Toriko and looks coy.
"Get your own!" Toriko whined.
Komatsu stares at them blank-eyes before glanced at the giant, "Hey Toriko-san…there's one thing I've been worrying about…wouldn't the Troll Kong eat the Fruit of Rainbow long before we are there?"
"Troll Kongs only eat animals. Their objective is probably to prey on animals that are attracted to the smell of the Fruit of Rainbow." Toriko chews, use his other hand to smack the wandering spoon that belong to Kai away from the pot cause Kai to pouts, decided to give it up as she flinged the spoon away.
"S-so, they just made the tree their nest…but if these vicious Gorillas made their nest there, is there any animal that would get close to it?" the Chef ask, puzzled by this.
"There are endless amount of animals that tries to get close to it." Johnesse piped up from the front as he was driving the white limo. "It's close to a reflect movement…when a foul ball hit's the back net in baseball, the spectators will definitely try to dodge the ball." Johnesse rambling on about the people and animal's reflect.
"Its amazing me how you are driving with that sort of posture…is your back getting sore already?" Kai asked, watching Johnesse's odd posture while he's driving as Komatsu nod in agree.
"An attraction that would make one lose sanity, huh…that's close to 'Love' Hey Komatsu, Kai, This time along with the will, Why don't you also write a love letter~" Toriko grins, chuckled.
"Hey! Can you stop saying that Toriko-san! What is that disgusting thought!?" Komatsu blushes and glares at Toriko.
"Here Toriko." Kai said, held up the notepad paper that seem to be rip off cause the Bishkou-ya stares at it, took it to stare at the letter that said:
'Toriko, I love you. Lets me eat your Golden Salmon Roe…pretty please? Love Kai'
Toriko does one thing he can do in this situation as he try to hide it away from Komatsu who try to sneak a peek at the paper to see what it was say. He wheeling down the window and toss the paper out that was crumbles in ball cause Kai to snickers at Toriko's face that was slowly turn red. As The Glutton pretend to announcement, "We can see it now the 'Garden'"
We stood in front of a humongous gate with two military solder stood there, salute them all.
"Thank you for your treat, Toriko-sama."
"Thank you very much!"
"Oi, oi, Stop using that greeting." Toriko shrugged it off with a smiles, smoking his cigarette branch.
"Damn huge…" Kai muttered, admire the place.
"Is this the entrance to the 'Garden'!" Komatsu wide-eyed at it, "Bi….Biotope..Garden…Biotope?" He noticed the sign of the gate.
"It is an artificially created habitats for plants and animals. We are letting the animals live freely in a environment close to Nature." Johnesse explains, shift his sunglasses once more.
"It mean that the IGO is doing research on the Gourmet animals behavior and all in there." Toriko glanced down at Komatsu and Kai who seem to understand it.
"Ohhhh, I get it now…"
"Can you open the gate for us?" Johnesse asks the soldiers who seem to sweating slightly. Before they start to mention why, they heard a huge noise that appear out from nowhere that sounds like a thunder.
"W-WHAT…THUNDER?" the Chef yelped.
"This-…This sound is…"
"Um…The watchtower from research institute contacted us just ten minutes ago…There's already one Troll Kong on the other side of the gate…" Minion Soldier explains.
"So it's waiting there for us to go in!" Johnesse gasped.
"EEEEHH? Are you serious?!" Komatsu gasped also then glance around nervously, "C-can it be that sound just now…knocking on the door from the inside…?"
"Nah, that's not it." Kai tilt her head, don't think Troll Kong would do that.
"There's a deep moat on the other side of the gate. It should be impossible that it passed through there and-"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
That loud noise behind there as Kai turns around to see Toriko bang his chest cause Kai to realized why as Komatsu protest weakly,
"D-don't scare me off Toriko-san! What was it just now…"
"It's drumming, Gorillas use it as a intimidation, the sound earlier was caused by the Troll Kong hitting its chest multiple times. The King of the Garden is warning me to not go in there." The giant chuckles darkly.
"You…you mean the sound of drumming went through that damn thick concerted wall and reached us?" The cook gasped and looks disbelief at this situation.
"Well, yeah. The drumming of a Troll Kong is a explosive sound that can be heard tens of km's away, generally when animals hears this sound, they would ran away." The red haired girl explains with a smiles, close eyes happily.
"Doesn't matter, open the gate." Toriko demands, really want to get the Rainbow Fruit already.
"Tha…That's not possible Toriko-sama, there's the rule so…" One solider stammered.
"What?" Toriko stares.
"In the eight Biotope when within the five km perimeter of the gate, there's a beast with capture level five or higher. We cannot open the gate. Even thought we think there's no animal that can pass the moat but just in case…"
"It's okay if they are not with five km perimeter right~?" Toriko smiles, took the cigar tree out of his mouth to glance at the solider who protested at this. "In other words, it would be okay if they are already gone when we open it?" Toriko stick the cigar tree back in his mouth as he walking over to the wall as he explains while increase his attack power.
"The Gorilla's method of intimidation besides drumming is the act of throwing something of breaking something nearby. Now it's my turn…to intimidate them!"
As the group behind the Giant Bishkou-ya start to question what Toriko is plan to do as Toriko warned them to stay back as he shout out, "TRI-NAIL PUNCH!"
BOOOOM!
They gasped at Toriko's powerness as they watch in awe at the wall that Toriko punched has shattered quickly and crumbled down, show a long tunnel hole through the Biotope.
"It's open now." Toriko smiles brightly at them then walks ahead, "Excuse me."
"The fun start.." Kai muttered as she start to follow Toriko behind as Komatsu quivered before gain the courage to run after them.
The Glutton scans the area with a narrow eyes, 'They aren't here…But that doesn't mean it has fled…'
"Why does this strangely smells like a fish…no wait, reptiles?" Kai comments as she step out cause Toriko's eye widen as he start to realized what just happen as Komatsu step out also, wobbling on the way.
"What..what on the earth were you doing Toriko-san..Why this sort of reckless way to enter"
"Get away! We are being attacked!" Toriko warned out cause Kai to reaction by grab her childhood friend and push him behind her back cause Komatsu startled by what just happens as he gasped concern for Toriko as he was bitten by many snakes that seem to be poisonous enough.
"TORIKO-SAN!"
"Tch!"
"K-Kai! These snake are..their venom is incredibly poisonous! The Zombie Taipans! We need to help him!" Komatsu squeaked, shakes Kai's arm back and forth in panic hope his friend know what to do.
"Shut up and get as far as possible." Toriko growls as he inhaled the Cigar tree that he had with him in his mouth that seem to slowly burnt into ashes as Kai and Komatsu stares at Toriko release many smokes out of his body cause the Zombie Taipans to hissed out distaste and release their grips onto the Bishkou-ya.
"Wow!" Komatsu exclaimed in awe.
"All right, you are good now. You were surprised when it suddenly threw you, now, go back to your nest." Toriko comments to the snakes who seem to slides away back to its nest.
"Huh…The Cigar Tree…you used it to make it repellant the snake because of the smells correct?" Kai asks the giant as he nod in confirms. "Interesting…" She muttered to herself.
"What on the earth happened! Are you alright Mr. Toriko! Miss Kai! Mr. Komatsu!"
"We're good! Don't worry, Go wait in the research institute and get some gourmet tea, We'll go get the Fruit of rainbow soon enough!" Toriko explains, walks over to the lever to pull it down as Komatsu fretting over Toriko about try to get him to get antidote for the poison.
The bridge slowly low itself down across the moat with a loud thud, signal them its ready for them to pass over. Toriko and Kai start to walk over the bridge while Komatsu stammered, unsure if Toriko is okay or not.
"Let's go~" Kai sang happily.
"Are..Are you really all right!?" Chef glances at Toriko skeptical.
"Hurry up if you wanna come, or I'll just leave you here." Toriko sighed and glance over at Komatsu who seem to stay there in the spot.
"Ah! Y-yes!" Komatsu squeaked as he start to running after them.
The Troll Kong stood behind the cliff on the very top, growls softly as he was prepare to get two crushed boulder, stares down at three tiny people in his view cause him to growls once more….
"Say Kai..I have to ask you something." Toriko start to remember something as he glance down at the female of the group cause her to blink up at him, gestures him to ask her a question. Toriko start to open his mouth but heard Komatsu plead voice.
"Please wait a second, Toriko-san! Kai-chan!"
"Hmmm?" Toriko blinks back at Komatsu, start to forgot what he was going to ask Kai.
"Looks there going to be some rain…The tree of the rainbow is pretty tall so it would be troublesome if lightning began to strike…We have to hurry, Toriko. Matsu-chan." Kai frown at the weather that slowly start to brew around.
"Hey! Look at these! I found the Leaves of bacon! This is the first time I've seen it in the wild ever! This is great!"
"There were some banana cucumber, did you see?" Toriko munches on the Banana cucumber that was wrapped with Bacon leaves as Kai was eating also, glance back at Komatsu who gasped at them.
'They already eating!'
"Oh! Right, Kai-chan. Wouldn't the Fruit of Rainbow go well with the Leaves of Bacon as well?" the small chef glance up at his partner part-time chef in quizzical.
"Oh~ You do say Chef! Like things now and then, don't you?! That does sounds tasty" Toriko piped in at the thought of them combo together as he notice the danger came as he slide down toward the pitfall.
"Toriko-san!" Komatsu notice the pitfall and is concern for the Giant Bishkou-ya as Kai notice the most dangerous of all is coming toward them with four crushed boulders in each hand, Kai quickly grab her childhood friend who yelp in startled by her action as she jump forward to the other side.
ROAAAAAARRRRR!
Komatsu bug-eyed the gorilla threw many boulders toward them as Kai start to dodge each with a close call as Komatsu start to feel paralyzed by how danger they are in.
"OI! TORIKO! When are you going to help us!" Kai shouts, glares at the Bishkou-ya start to jump up toward the Troll Kong who sense the real danger as he swore he saw a red Hann-ya but blinks at the blue-haired giant who took out the small machine to stab the Troll Kong.
"KNOCKING!"
"GOAAAORAAA!" The Troll Kong yelp before spit out his vomit over Toriko before knocked out cold, twitches.
"Gah..Bastard…" Toriko grumbled.
"Ewww…." Kai make a face at this.
"T-Toriko-san!?" Komatsu start to talk once more but feel safe in his childhood arm who still carry him.
"Don't worry, I did knocking on it. It won't be able to move for a while." Toriko explains, try to wipe some vomits off of him. "This stinks! That bastard, he puked on me!" He complains.
"Knocking…you mean, Toriko-san, you only paralyzed him!?" the Chef gasped, "It..It will start moving sometimes, right?"
"Yeah, that's the type that would dissolve in half a day." Toriko nodded
Komatsu looks confused yet concerns, "It will…start moving in half a day..? Is that really okay? Without kill it I mean?"
"There's no meaning in killing it. Our objective is the Fruit of Rainbow anyways…Now lets go Kai, Komatsu!"
Kai stood there with Komatsu in her arm, staring blank-eyes at Toriko who sniffed before complains again about how smells horrible this is as she chuckled, walking to catch up with the Glutton as Komatsu was in deep thought.
"The Fruit of Rainbow is near!" Toriko warned.
"Ye..Yes!" Komatsu grins as he once able to walk behind them.
"I can sense the mellow smell…." Kai piped in, sniffed the air.
"We also finished off the Troll Kong…thought only with knocking…We can go take the fruit without worry, right?" Komatsu asked, smiling.
"That was the tail of the herd, that's the reason he puked on me…" The Glutton said.
"Eh..?"
"Troll Kongs are as smart as chimpanzees. It's within their intelligence to make pitfalls and throw snakes." Toriko shrugs before stop. "However! They are truly frightening when they get serious!"
Komatsu blinks at Toriko then glance ahead and stare in disbelief, before them all is a herd of Troll Kongs who roaring or grunting, stares down at them. Komatsu swear his spirit start to drift away as he stare blank-eyes at them.
"The Fruit of Rainbow is right in front of our eyes!" Toriko smiles, looks like he was on a picnics as Kai glance around in impressive.
'Even if I made a real intimidation, I doubt it if it will work…There's the smell of the Tribal underling lingering from me..They won't hesitate to attack me…Looks like a fight can't be avoided.' Toriko thinking as he scanning at how many Troll Kongs before glance down at his partners. He's bit amazing that Kai looks calm in this situation while Komatsu was trembling in fear but stand there stiffen.
"Komatsu…Oy, Komatsu!"
"Yaaaasss?" Komatsu glance up at Toriko with teary eyes, still trembling in fear.
"If you get back alive, then take a week of break from your work. You probably won't be able to move a inch because of the muscular Rehumatism!" Toriko smirks.
"Did Matsu-chan age a bit just now?" Kai glanced down at the chef.
ROOOOOOOAAAAAWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRR!
The Troll Kongs start their attack by jump above us as Kai used her quick thought as she pick Komatsu up and climb on back of Toriko to grip tightly onto Toriko's back, wrapped her legs around him as possible.
"Komatsu! Hold on to me with all your might! If you let go, even a one hundred of a second, you are a dead meat!" Kai warned as she grip tightly on Komatsu who seem to understand her, grip tightly onto his childhood's neck buried between Toriko and Kai's body to hide from The Troll Kongs.
"YE..YES! Or rather, can we make it back alive?!"
"Who knows! Pray for it!" Toriko laughs then glance at Kai, "Hold on tight Kai."
"Yep! Look out!" Kai pointed at Troll Kong who seem to threw a punch cause Toriko to jerk left as he start to dodge every Troll Kong's Knuckles attack as Kai start to notices that Toriko is try his best to ensure the safety of Komatsu and herself.
"KNOCKING!"
ZAP! ZAP! ZAP!
It was repeat many time as Toriko used his knocking to zap every Troll Kong's neck then land on the ground, grip on Kai's bottom to make sure she's on him as he trust her to watch Komatsu for him and ensure he won't slip out as he can feel Komatsu's tiny back against him, trembling in fear.
"We need to find the Boss right away." Kai reminded Toriko as he nod, glance around at the Troll Kongs who seem to be angrier than before. Suddenly the rain start to pouring down on us cause Kai to growls, glance down at her childhood friend who seem to be alright at this moments.
"Head up Toriko!" Kai warned Toriko who seem to glance up at the rain before look back at Troll Kongs who start to charged ahead as Kai scanned the area for the boss as she grips onto Toriko's back, slam her body against Komatsu's body to hold onto him tight as Toriko start to dodge once more.
But one Troll Kong finally capture Toriko's hand cause Toriko and Kai's eye widen as Kai shift her body as Toriko try to pull back, winces at Troll Kong's grip that felt one ton.
"Don't think bad of me Troll Kong!" Kai exclaimed as she used her kick to get rid of that grip to help Toriko out but notice the Troll Grip release the hand quickly cause Toriko and Kai to blink in confuses.
'Does he felt my threat in my right leg…?' Kai thought as Toriko thoughts the same thing.
"Good…Yes..this is great…" Toriko grins as Kai shivered felt the Red Hann-ya behind them cause her to realized that this is Toriko doing as she notice some white flash cause her to glance quickly to see a Silver-back Troll Kong who stares back then fled as the lightning struck down.
"Whoa! That was close, it will the end if it fell on the Tree of Rainbow!" Toriko gasped before growls, "We need to find the Boss ASAP. Who was the one that was ran away the fasted from the lighting just now…?"
"Toriko, There he is." Kai pointed cause Toriko to glance up and saw the Silver-back Troll Kong stood there.
"Good job Kai." Toriko smirks as he walking down the dirt cause the Troll Kongs to notice the Hann-ya and scurried away to get away from Toriko as he stood in front of the Silver-back Troll who seem to stood there then whimpered, bow his head.
The Battle was ended that quietly.
"Ummmm! Delicious! I haven't had Crab Pork in a while." Toriko hummed happily, cut up some more pieces as Toriko was sitting in the Gourmet Hotel where Komatsu and Kai work as he wore a nice suit with his hair slick back, chews happily on the Crab Pork.
"That's good to hear, sir. This Roasted Crab Pork wrapped with Mantle Lettuce." The Waiter supplied.
"This tastes good! Gimmie more!"
"Hurry and get more!" Waiter orders other Waiters who scurried in the back to tell the Chef as many waiters continues to busy themselves to feed the Gluttons and clean off the dirty dishes to stack them up. Thinking to themselves about this odd speed that Toriko eating and drinking.
The Waiter is bit concern about Toriko after witness Toriko drank a forty degrees brandy in one and it's the fifth bottle!
"Give me some Cognac, then I'll have some chaser and beer" Toriko asks.
"Ce…Certainly, sir.." The waiter bow, sweat drop before ran off to get what Toriko ordered.
Back in the Kitchen, many chefs bickers and yell at each other while cooking fast try to prepare themselves:
"Hurry! Think of this as if we've got a full house of customers!"
"Milky salad is ready!"
"Put only one serving per plate! Don't go over!"
"The Meunierer of white shark is done!"
"Head cook!"
"Kai-chan!"
"What is it?!" Komatsu turns around before yelp, held onto his left arm, "It hurt…! Gosh..Ah~"
"A..Are you okay! Kai-chan! Head Chef is hurt!"
"DAMMIT! I told you your Muscular Rheumatism is not completely healed!" The red-haired female who wore the white apron over her black T-shirt and worn out jean along with white bandana over her head to keep her red hair out of her face, glares at Komatsu who yelp at the glares.
"I-I'm okay Kai-chan! Anyhow, what's wrong?" Komatsu smiles nervously at Kai then look back at the chef.
"Well…um..The food supply is almost…" The chef was unsure, look concern for the head chef.
"Gone? Yes, that's within my assumption." Komatsu laughs, roll his left shoulder then glance at Kai, "Kai-chan, please prepare 'That thing'"
"Aye Matsu-chan!" Kai grins as she walk away to prepare the thing.
"Feeeu…." Toriko sigh happily, lean back in his seat as the Waiter stares in disbelief and whispering to each other.
"How many tens of serving of one person has he eaten…?"
"Nah, rather it's hundreds of servings! He easily went over three-digits!"
"T-that's it for today's menu, Toriko-sama.." The Head waiter chuckled nervously.
"I'm about a tenth full, I guess…" Toriko shrugged.
'A TENTH?!'
"So…this is the main..huh…" Toriko sighed blissful before perk up at the sound of a single wheel cart pushing down toward Toriko is Komatsu pushing as he was drooling as Kai smiles, walking behind her childhood friend to make a wide eyed at her friends who seem to drooling at the sight of the Rainbow Fruit Pudding.
"S-Sorry for the wait, Toriko-sama~ This is the Main Dessert! The Fruit of Rainbow!" Komatsu said, continues his drooling.
'That's kinda gross sights to watch..' Kai thought to herself, glance down to check her mouth to make sure she's not drooling but…she was drooling! She blushes try to turn around to stop the drooling cause her to think, 'Dammit! That Rainbow Fruit cause this!'
"Hey, hey, you're kidding me, right? The Juice evaporated and formed a rainbow above it! Just too..Eat it the way it is..Gulp..is the best way. Please..gulp..enjoy it…gulp..slowly…gulp" Komatsu tried to talk while drooling.
"Hey, you're gulp..dribbling too much." Toriko pointed out.
"Yoo dooo, Torigo-zan!"
As everyone who drooling, watching bug-eyed at Toriko who used the spoon to scoop up the Rainbow Flan and start to eat it. Toriko's eye widen at the reaction of the Rainbow Fruit's effect cause him to cry slightly. "So good…."
Everyone went silence, watching Toriko.
"The dessert ….This is it! Three years ago at that town..What the fortuneteller said was right…Komatsu! Kai! Gather all the staffs! For the fact I decided on the one dish of my full course menu! Let's celebrate!" Toriko exclaimed.
"Toriko-san! OF COURSE!" Komatsu gasped happily.
'At last! We found one menu for Toriko-san! Woop!' Kai thought to herself as they all celebrate through the night, cheering.
Meanwhile, at the Town of Fortunetelling Gourmet Fortune. Many females stood in a long line, giggling and blushing at the thought of one certain fortuneteller as they waiting for their turns to come. The old man stammering concerns.
"Ho..how is it…Coco-sama?"
"Darn..give up…"
"G-GIVE UP? I invested 10,000,000 in the Golden Corn! You're saying the price won't go up!?" The old man gasped, fear for the worst.
"No no no, not that sort of thing. I was talking to myself…" the black-haired man shakes both of his hand in reject cause the old man to blink in confused as he explains. "It says there will be a customer, a man with three scars under his left eyes…I know him reeeallllly well…Damn, what a ominous feeling." He sighed, look at his hand, frowns and is in deep concerns.
