Redsnidget: Here is Chapter four, Thanks you for your encouragement review for me to write this!

Toriko belong to Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro, OC belong to Redsnidget.

"That was good! Platinum lemon goes really well with Tequila!" Our favorite blue-haired Bishokou-ya exclaimed and grins toward Komatsu after he tried these drinks, "Right Komatsu?"

"But how did you drink a whole bottle of 750 ML in one stroke…" the small Chef blank-eyed at Toriko as he was unsure of being in awestruck, "And this is your tenth bottle, right? Are you planning to drink every single liquor available in the train?"

"Well, I get so excited when I think I can meet the Legendary Phantom Whale!" Toriko chuckled.

Komatsu gasped and eye all shone, "You mean…Puffer Whale?!"

"Yep! By the way, what's wrong with her?" The Glutton glance down at the ground, stare at their own female member of the group who seem to be motionless on the floor, groaning and moaning about evil train or something that Toriko can't understood from her as Komatsu start to notice why.

"Oh..Um..Kai-chan really don't like the train ride, for somewhat reason it's the Train only that she only get motion sickness from."

"Really?"

"Oh..god…someone kill me…" Kai weakly mutters, clutches onto her stomach, cover her mouth as if she feel like going to barf soon.

The males of the groups stares down at her for a moments then start to talk to each other again as Toriko start to eat the burger to discussing about Puffer Whale, knew Kai would be fine when the train ride is over.

"There is only one problem…That is Puffer Whale is extremely poisonous." Toriko chews on the burger, look at Komatsu who nods.

"If you're talking about the License to take out the poison in Puffer fish. I've got it!"

"Even I have that sort of thing, the problem is that it's not going to be that easy…" Toriko licked the fingers.

"Yeah…I thought so..wasn't Puffer Whale classified as 'Special Caution Food'?"

"Actually, it is say that there are only ten cooks who can take out the poisonous organs in the world."

"Oh god…Where is the bathroom!" Kai cried in the background as she ran away cause them to glance at her back to watch her went into the bathroom.

"….To..Toriko-san." Komatsu tried to ignored what will happen in the bathroom although he was very concerns about his best friend but knew it would happens, "You know him, right? One of these cooks?"

Toriko nods as he pluck one of the drink to chug it down, "You came here purely for that, right? Well…he isn't necessarily a cook but-"

SMASH!

"GIMMIE SAKE, YOU BASTARDS!"

The Bishokou-ya and The Chef combo glance up from their talk in startled to see another Bishokou-ya complains while hold the broken bottle that cause the noise.

"Why aren't there good liquors on this train? HUH? This freaking piece of junk!" A large and muscular man with a intimidating appearance. He has a large mustache that connects to his sideburns and a large scar over his right eye, while his long hair flows over his shoulders and is parted in the middle. He wears a simple outfit apparently made out of fur. He also carries a large axe on his back and wears a headband and skull necklace.

"HNN?"

The Bishokou-ya start to notice many bottles near Toriko's table and glares darkly as he growled, "Hey, hey, I was thinking that the quality of liquor here was too bad, but it was you who bought it all..HUH? YOU SHITTY BASTARD."

"Hmmm?" Toriko blinked.

"You know who I am!? OY? I'm Zongeh The Bishoku-ya! Lemme tell you my full course menu!" He held up a single piece of paper that held his full course:

Hors-D'oeruvre -Golden Salmon Roe
Soup - The soup of Serpent frog
Fish Dish -Stripe Salmon
Meat Dish- Crab Pork
Main -Galala Crocodile
Salad -Almond Cabbage
Dessert -White Apple
Drink-Energy Hennessey

"My Main dish is that Galala Croc! I killed it a while ago! Even thought it was still a newborn..HAHAHAHA! Surprised!?" Zongeh bragged.

"Zongeh-sama, please don't pick on the likes of him.." Minion one sighed, bit concerned.

"Hmmm, right. Hey, Gimme all the Liquors." Zongeh smirks.

"Haha, I'm being picked on right now huh~" Toriko smiles cause Zongeh to glares and peers at him.

"What's wrong with you, huh?"

Toriko smiles as he stood up in front of Zongeh as his aura start to glowing as Zongeh blinks notice how tall he is cause him to jaw-dropped, startled as the blue-haired Bishokou-ya pats on the shoulder.

"Zombie-kun! Well, that's one pretty impress course right there! Excellent. If you want some Liquor, take as much as you want. It's my fault for buying all them for myself, Zombie-kun."

"Oh…ohh..I…I'm Zongeh…R-remember that well.." Zongeh stammered, unsure of how to take this situations, gladly accept some liquors and walks away in silence with his minions follow behind.

Komatsu witness this all and glance at Toriko, unsure. "Are…Are you okay with that, Toriko-san?"

"With what?" Toriko give Komatsu a quizzical looks.

"Well, I mean..That challenge right now…?"

"Right, his real purpose was probably not the liquor, This train is filled with Bishokou-yas and all of them are seeking the Puffer Whale. It's very possible for them to fight over the few whales at the site…They are already starting to test each other's depth and right now, he just tried to intimidate others." Toriko explains.

"Then why..All the more…Why did you give him the liquor for free?" Komatsu still confused.

"As they say, "In Traveling company, in life's sympathy" As well as there are times of competitions, there are time when we have to help each other as well.." The Glutton smirks.

"Hmm..Excuse me.."

Toriko and Komatsu glance up to see a old man that seem to shaking badly as he give out a toothless grins, still trembling as he asked, "Can..you..spaire meee some liquor..pleash?" He was drunk as he explains, "I'm kinda…not gooda…with high places…so whenever I looka outa windows…I was so scared I couldn't stand…"

"Oh..I know your pain…" Kai reappeared out from nowhere as she clutch onto her stomach, feel blue as she sit next to Toriko try to calm her unsettle stomach down, groaned as the old man give her a sympathy looks, as if they start to have a bond over this.

"Are you trying to get rid of the terror by being drunk? But you know, aren't you shaking because you ran out of alcohol?" Toriko asked, concerns.

"Wel…There's that as well…" the old man chuckled, still trembling as ever.

"You can have all of them, Mis'er. We are getting off at the next station anyways." The Glutton smiles.

"Eh…the next station…?"

"About friggin' time..I wanna out now.." Kai groaned.

"Yep! The Town of Fortunetelling, Gourmet Fortune!"

TOOOOOOOTTTTT!

The Train stopped in the Gourmet Fortune, it's a town well known for divination since long ago..for the recent years, along with the growth of food industry, the customers gradually became mostly day traders and gourmet related investors. Even thought there are a few bogus fortunetellers aiming for fluctuations on the stock market, the authenticity of the town's fortunetelling is quiet high.

"FREEDOM! I won't never ride a Train, ever again! No more!" Kai rants as she ran out of the train after say good bye to her Train-hater friend, even thought the old man fear is the heights.

"Th..Thank you, sir, I will repay the liquors som…HIC!" The old man waves with a smiles.

"It's alright, don't worry about it…thought don't drink too much old mister." Toriko smiles as Komatsu protested.

"How about yourself, Toriko-san!" The chef follow the Giant and Kai on the way out as he glance back at the old man who disappear back into the train, "But that was my first time seeing a white regent hair style! That old sir was really funky, wasn't he?"

"We're here, Komatsu."

"Yes! So there's someone who can handle the puffer whale!" The chef looks excited before start to notice something funny about the town. "What's this? I don't see a single person!"

"Hmmm, maybe it's the time for wild beasts to come out…" Toriko raise a eyebrow, scan the town that seem to turn ghost-town all of suddenly.

"Yep! See! There a sign for it!" Kai point at the sign that said 'Look out for wild beasts!'

"Wow! Really! It is true!" Komatsu jaw-dropped at that.

"They come up from time to time, The fortuneteller here predicts the time for dangerous animals to approach the town and to counter them the citizens hide themselves within poisonous walls. There hasn't been a single person being attacked in a few decades and that's why people say this town's fortunetelling is reliable.." The Bishokou-ya explains.

"Geez..you seem to know this fortuneteller pretty well.." Kai muttered, narrow her eyes at the Giant's back.

"Now I think about it, there were rumors that the information about 'puffer whale's came from this town…and that's why the market was in a huge turmoil.." Komatsu remember that information from Kai's magazine that she read daily.

"Heeeey, there a person." Kai blinks at the person who seem to pop out from nowhere in the ghost-town.

"AH! There's a person Toriko-san! Even thought it's the dangerous period right now!" Komatsu start to panicked out.

Toriko say nothing as he start to realized something about that person as there a giant beast who seem to walk through the town, looks hungry cause Komatsu to scream, "WAAAA, A BEAST!"

"You came for me, huh or rather, you knew I was coming, didn't you?" Toriko smirks as Komatsu shake Kai's arm, point a finger at the giant beast who seem to attack the walking person screech a warning for him to run away as he cover his eyes in Kai's body, can't watch as the Beast start to eat him.

But to Kai's view, she notice the Beast paused in its attack before turn away to walk away to find something else cause her to narrow her eyes at this situation.

"W-what happened?" Komatsu whimpered, glance up to see if anything worse come to happen but saw the person appear before them, perfectly alive.

This person is very tall, muscular man with a striking face. He has black hair the style of which fluctuates frequently; it is straight naturally and choppy and fluffy when cut short. He has prominent sideburns running down to the angles of his jaws, and short bushy eyebrows.. He has piercing black eyes. He generally wears an all black suit with green bands wrapping around it at the wrists, elbows, waist, neck and a additional one on top of his head. This is one fineeeeeee looking man in Kai's eyes as she wouldn't admit it.

"What a troublesome customer to have. The wild beast was much cuter." The man spoken in greeting cause Toriko to laughs.

"Didn't you finish up your full course menu, Coco? The Gentleman of the Four Kings?"

'Wait, WAIT? He's one of that Four kings like you?!' Kai glance at Toriko in disbelief as she thought about it.

"Three more, I guess. "Coco smiles, "You, Toriko? The Glutton of the Four Heavenly Kings."

"EH? You mean, One of the Four heavenly Kings? Bishoku-ya Coco! Did you mean him when you talked about the one who can handle puffer whale!?" Komatsu yelled as Coco just stood there all elegantly like.

"Matsu-chan..You're too excited again…" Kai warned out as Toriko grumbled. "You always get excited so easily. Be surprised more peacefully, more gracefully..Like her?! Why can't you be like her?" He pointed at Kai as she smack the hand away from him.

"I..I'm sorry…I was so…" Komatsu start to feel guilty.

"Don't mind too much about it." Coco smiles at Komatsu, "Clear water breeds no fish..It means people are more likable when they have some sort of a bad habit, your impoliteness show by your eyes can actually make people around you feel your affability."

'Wh..What a unpleasant encouragement!' Kai and Komatsu thought to themselves, blank-eyed at Coco.

"Ahhhhh! Its Coco-sama!"

"Coco-sama!"

"You took care of the beast for us!"

"KYAAA COCO-SAMA! MARRY ME!"

The group watching Coco got swamped by fan girls who squeals in happiness by see their very favorite Gentleman Bishokou-ya and tried to hug him as Coco looks uncomfortable by this.

"As expect of Coco-sama!"

"Fantastic!"

"S-Stop it! Stop touching me!" Coco protested.

"Coco-sama! Tell me about my destiny! My and Coco-sama's destiny~!"

"What are you saying Zamasu? It's me and my Coco-sama's future! It's me he's gonna-"

"What d'ya mean, you old hag? There's no future for ya! Get outta 'here!"

"Who did you say old hag To-za-masu!?"

"S-Stop! I'm not going to foretell anything today!" Coco once again ignored by those fan girls as Toriko's group stare blank-eyes at this as Kai feel sorry for him.

"Yeahhhh..I'm going to rescues him….I kinda feel sorry for him…" Kai muttered as Coco stammered as he yell out.

"Toriko! We'll change the place of meeting for now! Let's talk in my home!"

"Kyaaa! Coco-sama!"

"Ah, please leave me alone…"

Kai start to walk toward the crowd of the fan girls as she start to shoves some girls out of the way cause the girls to protested or insulted the red-haired girl who rudely push them out as she finally got close to grab Coco's hand to pull close to her as she start to pick him over her shoulder. Coco start to protest and blushing brightly at the position he was in.

"Get out of here! He's got something really important to do! Toriko! I'll meet you later at his house!" Kai called, ran away with Coco cause the fan girls to screech in anger as they start to chase the evil rude girl who kidnapped their precious Bishokou-ya!

"Um…Should we follow them..?" Komatsu asks, unsure of this odd situation as the town become ghost-town once more thanks to Kai kidnapped Coco away and bring the angry fan girls with her.

"Yeah…Kai said to meet her at Coco's house and that what we will heading." Toriko was surprised by this also before they nod, start to walk through the ghost-town to search for Kai and Coco in the forest.

"Kai-chan…they said you were a ape…even thought you have the charisma of the gourmet era…" The chef chuckle nervously.

"I don't give a damn about that! Damn fan girls..Sorry about that Coco, I've to do something since Toriko do have a business with you." Kai apologized to Coco who smiles weakly.

"Its alright miss, They are my customers. Forgive them.."

"Eh? Coco-san…you do fortunetelling as well?" Chef startled by this news.

"That's my main job at this town."

"Really…" Komatsu glance at Kai as if he remembers.

"Hmph…our old man is probably lamenting over that right now..By the way, what happened to Zebra?" Toriko grumbled then look at his brother in all but blood.

"He got caught. Right now he's in the Gourmet Prison." Coco sighed.

"Wahahahah, Finally caught! That problem child!" Toriko laughed as Coco shake his head.

"It was unfortunate, and unavoidable.."

"Haha…ahhh.." Toriko smiles as if he remember the flashback. "That made me recall the days we trained ourselves to death in the garden And in time, we came to be called the Four Heavenly Kings."

"Hmph..What an old memory." Coco agreed, smiles slightly then pointed out, "There, That's my home."

"But Coco-san…There's only a cliff-" Komatsu protest, quizzical until he notice the house that was afar from the cliff cause him to yelp at how far it is.

"Wao…" Kai blinked.

"Hey, wait a sec..EH!? Is that your home Coco-san? How could you…get across?" Komatsu stammered as Coco whistled out.

"KISS!"

CAW CAW!

They glance up to see a Emperor Crow that flapping its wings toward them, cawing happily at the sight of his partner as he land next to Coco.

"WAAAA! A crow monster!" Komatsu screams as he once duck behind Kai's body for protection and yet in awe by how huge the bird is.

"All right, get down. Kiss." Coco smiles at his partner.

"Is that…a Emperor Crow? Was it not an extinct species?" Kai looks confuse yet in awe by the ruler of the sky.

"Yes, He's part of my family. Now Kiss, can you carry four…if not, then you can carry two a time back and forth. Toriko is really heavy you know?"

"CAW!" Kiss cawed, shake his head then agreed to carry two person a time back and forth.

"Alright…Two person a time then. Which of you wish to ride with first?" Coco smiles back at the group who glance back and forth to see who get to ride with. In end Kai said she will ride with Coco as Kiss carried Coco with Kai toward the home of Coco.

"Thanks Kiss!" Kai called out as Kiss caw loudly as he flew back to get Toriko and Komatsu.

"They should be here in a bit, please come on in. I'll get the tea ready for us." Coco smiles nervously at the only female as she nod back.

"Sure, Sounds lovely."

"Wow…so you've decided that Fruit of Rainbow is your fruit dish, hehe. I told you the right thing." Coco poured the tea in each cups and served it to the group before him to smiles softly, "Well..I really like your choice..The taste that changes seven times is quite interesting. And its gets even better in the end. But on the contrary the Meat Dish…Should be something fundamental, thick and heavy, am I right?" Coco rambling before glance up to see Toriko is not listen but more focus on eating the food that Coco served out.

"I thin'so yeah. Prolly"

'He's not listening at all..' Coco stares blank at the other Bishokou-ya before lift a cup to take a sip, looks peeved at this as he continues to thinking, 'But however you see it…that's a very indecent etiquette… something never change.'

"Hey Coco!-wow this is yoof!-oh, fluffy boar meat!-Do you think I would…" Toriko continues to eating back and forth from meats to sandwich, "Come to see you just to tell you that?"

"Here to request for assistance? Is it about the puffer whale after all?" Coco asked as he sip the tea.

"YEP! That's it!" Toriko grins with mouth full.

"Coco-san…are you…are you able to remove the poison sack in the puffer whale?" Komatsu asks as Kai glance up to notice Coco's left face is slowly turns purples as Kai start to have a bad feeling and yet somewhat start to realized how much uncomfortable life in the past he has due to this situation as Coco noticed it as he covered his purple spot from his eyes, looks uncomfortable and tried to smiles.

"Ah..oops…Forgive me Komatsu-kun, Miss Kai, You were a chef at Hotel Gourmet, right?" Coco's face slowly turn back to normal but there are some purple spot leftover as he asked, "Can you handle puffer fish?"

"Oh, well…yes, I have once." Komatsu blinked as he was jolt from his seat as Kai kick his shin cause him to glance at Kai then back at Coco who pretend not to see it, smiling.

"Puffer whale are also called 'Daphnia Whales,' and as the name suggest. Their size is as small as normal pufferfish. And because of that there are a lot of cooks who handle them in the same way as puffer-fish. And so when puffer whales come out in the market every sixteen years. About hundred thousand people die of food poisoning."

"A HUNDRED THOUSAND!?"

"The poison puffer whales have a lethal dose of .2 MG nerve poison. It's one of the most poisonous even in nature, and once the poison sack erupts and the content leaks, not one bit of whale can be eaten..Well, there are people who still eat them but…" Coco put his hand down to sighed, "I will tell this. The probability of capturing them without breaking the poison sack for me is about half. One in two will turn poisonous and the probability to remove the sack without break is one out of five."

Coco then glance over at Toriko, "Have you mistaken who to make your request to?"

"You're good enough." Toriko smiles, still eating, "The probability of succeeding for me is none! There isn't a single way for me to capture that delicate thing and then cook it!"

"There is some more bad news." Coco warns, "The beach in a cave, which has been the egg laying spot for the whales recently…"

"Ahh, you mean that Cave that is about tens of KMS long, and eight hundred meter deep. The probability of one reaching the destination and making it back is one percent…" Kai chimed in, remember it in one of her magazine as Coco looks surprised by this as he nods.

"That is correct, It's one in one thousand professional Bishokou-ya…"

"It's alright! Better than diving from the sea side!" Toriko said.

"There's more…The beast of hell, Devil Serpent…" Coco said, glance around the group as Kai blinks as she protested.

"You mean they are in that cave?! The Devil Python!?"

Coco nods, "And many more that we'll never know of…"

"Hahahaa! From that snake's viewpoint, you're more dangerous!"

"Toriko." Coco firmly said.

"All right! I got it. I understand it's pretty dangerous, but rather than that…Can you see the death sign on me, Komatsu or Kai?"

'What…?' Kai blinks as she glance at Toriko who look serious toward the Gentleman Bishokou-ya who sitting there in silence before sigh softly.

"I got it..I will come along."

"YES! That's my Coco! As expected from a Bishoku-ya!" Toriko exclaimed in victory, "The reward is to eat whatever you want in the restaurant of Hotel Gourmet, how about it!?"

"NO WAY! How did my restaurant come in here?!" The chef protested as Kai groans at the thought of cook more.

'How long since I last worked as Bishoku-ya…?' Coco was in a deep thought then glance up to watch, 'But anyway…Death sign…huh…'

"But this is a good thing, huh Toriko-san!? Puffer Whale Kai-chan! We're going to get some!"

"Yeah, yeah." Kai sighed as she looks away to notice Coco stares at one of them cause her to narrow her eyes in suspicious before glance away to see who Coco was looking at as she remember Toriko's word as she notice Coco was stare at Komatsu.

'No way…is he…?'

'Damn..I can see it clearly.' Coco sighed.
