"Hang on a second Toriko-san!" The chef start to yell after he broke free from Kai's hug to hold up a accusing finger at Toriko who grins at him.
"I'm so glad you're alright!"
"No, No! No! What is that Cracker!" Komatsu yelled, "It's a regular 'bomb' that stuff! It's a weapon, a weapon I tell you! I was about to die!" He continues to rants at the Glutton who laughed, found this funny.
"I see, I see, Must have been tough."
"No…and speaking of which, I did die once!" Komatsu protested.
"The hell that happened, you're alive." Toriko raise a eyebrow at Komatsu then look at Kai who stood there glares darkly at Toriko cause the blue-haired bishokou-ya flinched, think he's in a deep trouble.
"He did died..But he did revived back to life thanks to the old man we met at the train." Kai explained.
While Kai and Komatsu start to explains about how the old man save Komatsu's life by bring him back to life to Toriko, Coco noticed something oddly.
'Komatsu-kun's shadow of death is done…what's the meaning of this? Moreover, a Devil serpent is here too and it was killed rather quickly. Impossible…It could be that old man Komatsu-kun mention or…' Coco glance over to the Red-haired female who continues to lecture Toriko about the Cracker with Komatsu's supportive about how dangerous it is.
'My bet is on her…After all she did left to find Komatsu-kun while we're busy with ourselves with the Devil Serpent.' Coco frowned, narrow his coal orbs at the female for a moments, try to make a sense of this situation.
"Oi! Coco, Let's get goin'! The Sandy Beach of the cave is only just ahead now!" Toriko shouted, wave his hand in the air, ignore Komatsu's kick of wrath on Toriko's leg where he can reach as Kai cover her mouth to hold back her laugh at this odd situation before her. Coco snapped out of his thought to smiles softly.
'Oh well, that's fine…in any case, I'm glad my Fortune-telling was wrong. I'm glad Komatsu-kun is safe.' Coco smiles in relief before follow Toriko who seem to get annoyed with Komatsu's kick of wrath as Komatsu continues to kicking Toriko's. Coco tried to calm the small angry chef while Kai just laughing harder.
"At last! We're here!" Kai shout as the group step into the sandy part as we stare at the sandy beach of the cave since its bright in this small area thanks to sea firefly glowing up the place. "Uwah~ what a beautiful place~" Kai glanced around in awe.
"Huh…There was a preceding visitor…" Toriko notice the footprint on the sands.
"He probably already went back…" Komatsu noticed it also cause two Bishokou-ya to look at the chef in surprise. "I'm sure the preceding visitor was the old man who saved me…" Komatsu smiled.
"Yeah..Even thought he did save your life, you just have to be freak out by how huge he is and have the gut to called him 'Big old geezer monster shortened to big geezer…' " Kai smirked cause Komatsu to blush brightly.
"S-shut up Kai-chan!" Komatsu whined before look serious once again, "Beside, he already had them, that old man..a large amount of puffer fish whale, on top of that, they hadn't turned poisonous…."
"Um, can you describe him to me…?" Coco asked, still bit puzzled by this old man who happened to got those puffer fish so easily that he got this odd gut that he knew that old man somewhere as Kai tilt her head.
"Well, he would be easily recognized by his pompadour hairstyle. If I remember correctly there is only few people in the world with that style so my bet is on the 'Knocking Master Jirou.'" Kai shrugged.
"Knocking Master, Jirou!? …Yes…that was probably simple…" Coco was preoccupied with that thought.
"Eh?" the small chef blinks.
"Him? I see…I see now..I thought there was a smell in the air that I smelled somewhere..So it was the smell of that Geezer who wanted booze on the train." Toriko muttered.
"That funky old man with the white pompadour?!" Komatsu gasped in disbelief.
"Yeah, Knocking Master Jirou is pretty much legendary Gourmet provider. I have that magazine that said it all if you want to see it!" Kai smiles as she pull out a paper book out from nowhere as if she pull it out from her pocket like it was nothing.
"Where did you get that from…?" Toriko muttered, look at Kai strangely as Komatsu took the magazine that seem to be old and flip the book page to read, eye in awestricken.
"Knocking Master Jirou…his full course is a fantasy menu that most people in the world have yet to taste…seems like not even the capture levels can be fathomed." Coco sighed.
"I heard that he retired as a gourmet provider way long ago, but he's famous as a heavy drinker. Even in retirement, it means he still looked forward to the puffer fish whale's 'fin sake' once every ten years." Toriko chuckled.
"I didn't know that piss-drunk old man was such a famous gourmet provider…" Komatsu whimpered, bug-eyed at the magazine and listen to group debate about Knocking Master Jirou.
"Komatsu."
Komatsu looks up at the Blue-haired bishokou-ya, blinks.
"In any case, you must never forget the absolute favor that your life was saved. Take the best cuisine to the old man someday!"
"Ye…YES! Then, Toriko-san, I'll ask you for provision of the ingredients!" Komatsu smiled wider.
"NAY! You go yourself for that too!" Toriko rejected Komatsu as he start to take off his shirt off to show off those abs as he looks exciting, "Nowwww~ Let's capture some ourselves! Delicacy of the Deep Sea!"
"I got readily rejected.." Komatsu pouts as Kai pats on his back in symphony as she piped in, "Don't worry Matsu-chan, I'll help you get those ingredients that you want me to get."
"R-really?! Thank you so much Kai-chan!" The chef looks happier than before.
"This sea has lots of 'sea fireflies' so it's bright, in this we'll be able to find the puffer fish whales quickly." Coco smiles as he test the water.
"Komatsu! Kai You get in the sea and make sure to watch Coco's technique, too!" Toriko looks thrilled, "You came for that, didn't you?!"
"Y-yes!" Komatsu said as he start to put down his backpack and looks skeptical, "Um..there aren't any ferocious sharks and stuff…right?"
"Don't worry! Even if they are! They're 100% cuter than the devil serpent or that old man!" Toriko smiles as he turn around and stares blankly at Kai who happen to took off her own clothes, show off her two pieces bikini that was dyed black with white stars speckling around her fabric.
"What? You told me to get ready…" Kai blinks innocently as both Bishokou-ya's blushing brightly at her well toned body and didn't expect her to come prepared or even took off her own clothes!
"Um..c-can you put your clothes back on.." Coco weakly protested, cover his eyes. "Show some decent…please!"
"Fine..I guess I'll put T-shirt back on." Kai sighed at the Gentleman and rolled her eyes, "Such a pansies…" she muttered to herself, put her t-shirt back on. Once Komatsu got all of his clothes off and Kai to put her t-shirt back on, they start to hurried up to catch up with two Bishokou-ya's who already in the water in search for puffer whales fishes.
Once they dives into the water and found them near the Puffer whales as Komatsu flails, can't swim pretty well as Kai looks at the puffer whales in awestricken and amazed.
Toriko noticed Komatsu's flailing form cause him to give him a dead-pan looks, 'Don't come over here with such a panicky swim. They'll get surprised and all turn poisonous…'
Kai seem to understood Toriko's look and hold Komatsu's back by his shoulder and finger her mouth to shush him and point at Coco who warned Toriko and Komatsu to stand back. Coco start to slowly vanish from the sight.
Toriko was fantasizing by Coco's technique, 'Ahhh for a second I thought Coco disappeared. He splendidly erased his presence. At last we'll catch the puffer whale!' Toriko turn around to smiles brightly, 'Komatsu! Kai, you watch closely too!'
But when he turn around to notice Kai was there but no Komatsu as he looks up to see Komatsu tried to take a breath cause him to shout out in his mind, 'He runs out of breath fast!'
Coco slowly take out his Knocking Gun as he watching the white fish swimming around steady, 'Now…which one should I go for…There are difference between each one in its wariness..since it's the spawning season, they are tense, but the placidity and carelessness characteristic of animals owning lethal poison is bound to show its face as well..'
He eyes one of the puffer whale fish, 'This one is good..' Coco slowly swim closer to the whale he chosen and hold his knocking gun close to the fish and attack it quickly and ease cause the puffer fish to float, still white and not poisonous.
'Whoa, he got it…Ugh..need air now!' Kai thought in awe before cover her nose as she start to swim upward for some air. She panting softly then look at Komatsu, "Matsu-chan! It was pretty awesome! Coco sure got one puffer whale fish down without no poison spread its body!" Kai swim and walking on the beach with a wide grin.
"Wow! Really! I wish I can see that but I've to take air.." Komatsu sighed. Kai smiles then sit down with Komatsu to keep him a company to watch Toriko and Coco take some air then disappear back into the water each five minutes.
"And so that's the plan for how to make Puffer whale fish…"Kai said as Komatsu and Kai took to have a small chats to do something over a hour and they looks back to see Toriko and Coco pop out of the water again.
"Fuuu! I finally succeed on one!" Toriko grins.
"Komatsu-san, Miss Kai! We got quite a few!" Coco smiles as they both swim back to the shore to show ten puffer whale fish.
"Whoa! Awesome!"
"Ten altogether, huh. Although I failed quite a bit as well." Coco sighed but looks proud other wise.
"But how pathetic to have two of the four emperors go at it for a hour and only get ten…" Toriko pouts.
"But still, this is a big catch for the delicacy of illusion." Kai smiles and pat Toriko's side, try to cheer him up.
"Now…This is the real deal from here on.." Coco smiled, "The retail market price for a puffer fish whale that hasn't turned poisonous is about one hundred million but in the case that the 'poison sack' is completely removed, this jumps up to three hundred million. However, if it 'turn poisonous.' It become zero at once."
"Actually Coco…it will be like eight million dollar through the black market route." Kai piped in cause the other to stare at her for a moments, wondering where she get the source from.
"This…is like ten lottery tickets that can each be three hundred million yen…or turn into just pieces of paper, huh.." Komatsu looks concerns.
"Money's got nothing to do with this. We'll leave it up to you, Coco." Toriko glanced up at Coco who nod, took out his knife, getting ready to cut up the puffer whale as we stand there in silence, await for Coco.
"Don't get mad at me even if I fail all ten.." Coco looks bleak.
"I will get mad!" Toriko shouted, glares at Coco.
"Come on, Coco! You can do it!" Komatsu plead.
"Want a good luck kiss?" Kai smiles, eye closed and all cause Coco to stammered.
"Erm..N-no thanks…Miss Kai. I mean, It's been a while." Coco stammered, blushing.
"Foretell the probability of success!" Toriko exclaimed.
"What percent is it honestly, Coco-san!?" Komatsu said.
"About…ten percent…"
"ONE?!" Toriko and Komatsu shout in surprised and disbelief.
Three puffer whale fish was being poisonous and was push aside as Coco was sweating and wipe it away as Komatsu looks worried, 'With this three of them in a row…were failures…Seven left..'
"Heeeeey, did you remove the poison sack? Heeey?" Toriko shout out toward the Gentleman and the Chef as Toriko and Kai was on the opposite side fishing cause Komatsu to shout out.
"Why are you two doing something leisurely like fishing, Toriko-san! Kai-chan! Where did you get a fishing rod!?"
"He's had little patience since the old days. Leave it alone, Komatsu-san…I'm not sure about Kai-chan…" Coco sweat dropped, smiles.
Slowly as Kai smiles humming as she fishing up some fish only to be eaten by Toriko who happily eat them raw while boiling up the drink with alcohol as he glance over to others.
"Whaaa? You can't even cut the fin off quickly?"
"Please be quiet for a bit, Toriko-san! Why are you setting up the Atsukan already?!" Komatsu looks frustration at Toriko's impatience. The small chef turns back to watch Coco's work.
"Hey Coco-kun." Kai called out cause Coco to glance up in quizzical. "Why don't you lets Komatsu handle it. I can see you getting tired out."
"EH? M-ME?!" Komatsu yelped.
"…Yes…I was thinking the same thing, Komatsu-kun, couldn't you handle it? Today I'm tired so my skill at this is messed up..With just a millimeter of deviation the puffer whale will be completely poisonous.." Coco smiles at the small chef who seem to be panicked.
"B-But.." Komatsu stammered.
"It's alright Matsu-chan! You're a chef, right!? Have some friggin confidence!" Kai shout, yank out another weird type of fish for Toriko to cheer happily, took it to cook it first.
"Miss Kai is correct, Just follow my instruction for the handling procedure." Coco smiles at Komatsu.
"I..Is that okay…In that case! I'll see that challenge!" Komatsu looks ecstatic.
"E-h? What, you're leaving it to Komatsu, Coco?" Toriko frowns, drink a sake that he recently boiled as Coco huffed, give Toriko a look.
"Why don't you, instead of spending your free time drinking, or eating that Miss Kai caught for you. Go and try to catch one or even more puffer fish whales?" Coco then held up his knife toward Komatsu, "Komatsu-kun, here…"
"Ah, no thanks." Komatsu smiles as he unzip his backpack, "I have my own tools I came with. Just in case…you can say because I'm always carrying them." Komatsu start to prepare his own knives out cause Coco to blink in surprise by how elegant knives they are.
Many puffer whales fish have been failed till one left over cause Kai to stop fishing for fish along with Toriko who stop drinking to eyes the Fish that was cut open clean and show the Poison sack in the sight as Komatsu looks sweating yet nervously.
"Wow..Matsu-chan…Seventh fish and you finally got it right this time!" Kai exclaimed.
"T-this is it…" Komatsu muttered, eye the posion sack unsure what to do next. As Coco start to instruction him more. "It's bare hands from here, Komatsu-kun. The 'poison sack' has to be taken out slowly while being rotated."
"Y..Yes!" Komatsu nods before start to slowly use his hands to take the poison sack and gentle took it out slowly as possible not to rustle anything to cause damage. Finally he got it out.
"AW YEAAAAAAH!" Toriko shout happily, cheered along with Coco and Kai.
Suddenly the Puffer whale start to glow radiance body cause them to gasped in awe.
"Owah, The puffer fish whale is!" Toriko said.
"If the poison isn't inside the body..It give off radiance!" Kai gasped in awe.
"SUCCESS! The Puffer Fish Whale's poison sack has been taken out!" Toriko, Coco and Kai cheered aloud as Komatsu start to crying, holding the poison sack.
"I..I'm zo glad! The last one was a success!" He blubbered.
"It's Komatsu-kun's achievement." Coco smiles, sweat drop as Komatsu shake his head harder, "No! It was Coco-san's precise instructions!"
"Komatsu!" Toriko slam his hand on the shoulder, looks serious. "For the first time, I think it was good I brought you along!"
"Y..yes..Thank you very much.." Komatsu meekly blinks at Toriko as Kai snorted, shook her head before smiles at her childhood friend.
"Okay, in that case, Let's do 'it' like we discussing about Matsu-chan."
"YES! I'll prepare that!" Komatsu smiles as Toriko and Coco looks confuse as Kai smiles, grab the puffer fish whale's fin to boiling it and create a drink to serve. "Its all set! Kai-chan! Is the drink ready?"
"Yep!" Kai held up a thumb up as the Chef and part time chef served the Fin Sake drinks and Sashimi cause Toriko drooling at the sights of the food that set up as Kai serve the drink to each. "Here you go~ Enjoy the Fish fin Sake."
"WOOO! Celebrating the capture of the puffer fish whale! Even though it was only one…CHEERS!" Toriko shouts, held the cup in the air along with other before drunk it all to looks happier.
"Is Coco-san not going to drink it? The Fin Sake that Kai-chan made?" Komatsu look at Coco as Kai blinks in confused.
Coco looks doleful as he explains, "I don't like sake. If I get drunk, I lose control of my poison.."
"Ah, is that so, then I'll remember next time." Kai smiles at Coco before give a shark-teeth shout at Toriko, "OI! You took a little too much, Toriko! Save some for us dammit!"
"Ah! At great pains I made it with beauty!" Komatsu cried, look torn apart by Toriko snatch up many Sashimi with his chopstick.
'He have no refinement..' Coco thought to himself with a sigh.
"Ohhhh Its pretty body shining with pink..It's got the swing of being like it's completely frosted in beef…Here it's closer to puffer fish than whale's meat.." Toriko said, "Itadakimasu!" He shout before ate it all to chew it happily.
Once Toriko ate it as soon the other start to follow it and start to eat some Sashimi to eat it to try it out cause them to look happier.
"Komatsu! How is it, The puffer fish whale you prepared yourself?!" Toriko turns around with grins.
"It's delizousss! It's the first time I've had this kind of Sashimi!" The Chef cried, all teary like.
"Mmm….If this taste like that I might willing to get me some more puffer fish whale…" Kai sighed all blissful and bit disappoint that there is no more Sashimi left thanks to Toriko and Coco who ate the whole things.
'I forgot it for a long time..this deep emotion…Bishoku-ya..I'm seeing it beginning again!' Coco smiles, start to feel like getting back into Bishoku-ya's business again as he heard something behind him cause him to turn around.
All of the groups turn around to see a Nitro walking out of the water with puffer fish whale, Kai looks surprise by Nitro appear out from nowhere. But once the Nitro glance over at the group. Suddenly Toriko, Coco and Kai sense something dangerous about this Nitro.
"KOMATSU! KAI! GET AWAY!" Toriko warning out thinking, 'This guy is dangerous.'
"Eh?" Komatsu blink in confuse by the sudden warning.
"I SAID GET AWAY!"
Coco's body start to become poisonous cause Toriko to join in as he start to buff up his own body to maximum cause the ground to shaking. Kai quickly cover Komatsu's body behind her back as her eyes turn dangerously red as Toriko, Coco, Kai and the Nitro stood there in silence, wait for one to start the fight…
The Nitro tilt its head before scratching its head then walking away, leave them in peaceful. They stood there in silence once the Nitro disappear into the shadow of the cave where they entranced. Suddenly Coco slump down to its knee, his poison vanish completely show his pale skin.
"W-what was that just now..Coco?" Toriko's body turns back normal as he was unsure of this situation.
"I don't know..I first saw the electromagnetic waves…Bad feeling ominous electromagnetic waves…" Coco whispered.
"That Guy's footprints..They weren't there when we got here…in other words…It came from the Sea. Passing through the 1000 metere deep sea..There's a living thing like that?" Toriko glance at Coco.
"It's not a living thing."
"Eh!?" Toriko and Coco glance back to the voice that belong to the female of the group. Once they face her as they looks even more surprise to see Kai's icy blue eyes turn into darkest red eyes.
"Y-your eyes!" Coco exclaimed.
"That guy just now was not a living creature." Kai explained cause the males to blink in surprise by her words that this creature they just met is not a living creature.
Uumen Umeda, a Business Bureau Director pick up his tea that was served for today to take a sip then set it down, shift his sunglasses to glance. "It's finally gotten started. The Bishoku-ya..Now then..How is the damage situation?"
"The situation now is the fourth Biotope's 'Land Moray Eel', 'Burger Shellfish' The Fifth Biotope's 'Crimson scorpion' and…the eight Biotope's 'Rainbow Fruit'..! Particularly the 8th Biotope's damage is very severe. There is not one left fo any of the 900Kg of 'Rainbow fruit' And the Troll Kongs are at the state of near annihilation."
"Images from surveillance monitor identify the culprit is a new model 'GT Robot' The operator is just now in the middle of investigating who it is.' Administration Bureau Director Wyne announcement.
"At any rate, the Pilot is a suitable person of merit, right?" Igo Financial Affairs Bureau Director Bull sighed.
"Though the Gourmet police should already be moving…Director Glass." Public Relations Bureau Director Naroid looks skeptical, glance over at Judicial Affairs Bureau Director Glass who crossed his arms.
"Ah, I'm afraid to say the arrest was a failure…The riot police's captain Toll, near the entrance to the 'Sandy Beach of the Cave' has been killed."
"WHAT…!" Bull roared, "The special Gourmet Riot police's captain was…!? Even that man of such merit, the former Bishoku-ya with a wealth of achievements!? Nn….The IGO should find a suitable way to deal with this. Shouldn't it…"
"Director Wyne. " Umeda said cause the other Directors to stop talking to listen to what he has to say, "A Call for a meeting of the 'Four Heavenly Kings' And did anyone got a chance to find out who this 'Red' is? He probably have the similar power of the Four Heavenly Kings so maybe this is our chance to find out who this 'Red' is and get him to help us out with this situation?'
"Ah…." Wyne muttered, unsure.
Anyway, Toriko, Coco, Zebra, Sani and Red..The immediate procedures for Zebra's release from prison will be necessary."
"Ah..But if we're only not able to get him out.." Glass muttered.
"If the company is the Bishoku-ya there there is a way. It's to protect the order of the world's food…even though we never know who Red is still and he's still unknown to us…" Bull muttered.
"Zebra is the best at disturbing order…" Glass huffed.
"The situation facing the 'Lookout Section' and ingredient is?" Umeda look at Wyne who nod, held up a paper.
"Yes. The place is Regal Island, the First Biotope, Because a Chief has personally been assigned to watch out for it there is no need to worry." Wyne confirmed. "To be sure one person in a unrelated matter is being turned to."
"Who is it?" Bull asked.
"Toriko."
