Redsnidget: I have to apologized for take so long because I'm on a week vacation to see my parents to see how they're doing. Don't worry, they're doing well! :) But I'm back with a brand new chapter for you all!

Thank you for your review and your patience!

Toriko belongs to MItsutoshi Shimabukuro. OCs belong to Redsnidgets.

"Toriko…What in the gravy name are you doing?" Kai asked as she watching Toriko slowly start to building up his own burger style with bread, lettuces, patties, cheeses, mayo and pickles all together as Toriko grins, plate the last bread on top of it.

"Done~ It's complete! I call it the 'Toriko Burger'!" Toriko gestured his tower burger to the chef and part time chef.

"It's too big Toriko-san!" Komatsu complained, pop his eye out at it.

"With Devil serpent hamburger meat, enchanted with mineral cheese, and Neo-tomato from Coco inside, the taste and nutritional value is outstanding!" Toriko start to drooling, rambling on about how his burger going to be great to eat.

'I wonder if Coco knew about his Neo-tomatoes that Toriko stole from?' Kai gives Toriko a blank-eyed, knew that Toriko did somewhat took the Tomatoes after another stop at Coco's house for well deserved rest. As she continues to watch in speechless and unsure what to say about this situation, Toriko start to unhinged his jaw, get ready to eat Toriko burger.

"No! Its impossible!" Komatsu cried out, continues to watch him do it with a disbelief looks.

Kai just continues to give a dead-pan expression as she start to remember the flashback at the Sandy Beach in the Cave after a few days.

"Komatsu-kun, Miss Kai, Though it was a short trip, I'm really glad I met you two." Coco smiled at Toriko, Komatsu and Kai as Kiss flew right behind Coco and await for its master to take him home.

"Coco-san! M-Me too! I became really diligent! Thank you very much!" The small chef grinned.

"Hey, Come on over to our restaurant sometime Coco." Kai smiled at the Gentleman who seem to flustered before smiles shy as he nod in agreement with this.

"Yes! Please come any time! The best full course will be waiting!" Komatsu agreed, looks exciting about serve another Four Heavenly Kings.

"Yeah, I'll looking forward to it…" Coco smiled at that thought before glance over at Toriko unsure if he want to talk to him all alone about what happen back there but decided not to before nod, "See ya..Toriko, Soon, We'll probably meet again."

"Yeah…" Toriko seem to want to discussed with Coco but decided not to also as he smirks, "That's probably true.."

'I don't like how they give each other a eye contact, like they don't want to talk in front of me or Matsu-chan…I wonder what they really want to talk about.' Kai pondered to herself before Komatsu's voice snapped her out of her deep thought.

"By the way Toriko-san, Is yesterday's 'Pufferfish Whale' entering Toriko-san's full course!"

Toriko munching on his burger still, talking with his mouth full, "Yeah…It's a expected from what's called a delicacy from the depths of the sea, but its impact was…As the course's 'Seafood Dish' There are still better things…" He muttered, chomp down another bites, "To that extent, the sea reaches far and wide, there's still more I haven't eaten, there are lots of ingredients."

"And where we're going from here too…We will have yet unknown known treasure ingredients right..!?" Komatsu start to get all starry-eyes on this cause Kai to smiles softly.

'Don't worry Matsu-chan! I'll help you get those no matter what! Since when did my little Matsu-chan all grown up!' She start to become teary-eyes, wipe her eyes with tissue that appear out from nowhere and blow her nose, act like a proud mother at this moments.

"The First Bio-tope…We, the IGO's prided largest 'garden'." Johannes appear out from nowhere in their view, act all cool cause Kai to jump out of her seat.

'What the-! Where did he came from!?'

"Department Head Johannes!" The chef finally noticed him.

"Thought it's called a 'Garden' from this space, the eight bio-tope, it's different." Toriko continues to munching on his burger, smirked, "The whole island is an arc. That area is five hundred thousand square kilometers."

"F-five…About how much is that…?" Kai asked, can't image how long a walk will be in that island. Komatsu agreed with his childhood friend.

"For Gourment development and study the suitable structure was created, by the IGO, too, of course." Johannes bragged, "You understand every piece, right? It's vastness nowadays using the garden for study has been abandoned. The Island is more so famed for selectively breed living things and cloned animals."

No one notice Kai shuddered at that as they more focused on the talk.

"Surely it was also for tourism?" Toriko turned his head around, munching more on his burger still as Kai have notice that he still ate half way now.

"The limit for going to the island for tourism per year is one million people. By the way, a reservation requires a five year wait." Johannes shift his sunglasses, "I should say that bringing with you any food or drink to the island is prohibited, Toriko-san."

"Its nickname is the 'Gourmet Garden' Nowadays new delicacies are said to be born here, on the island." Toriko turns his head away, munching more to explain more for his little chef to understand.

"Are you listening!" The IGO protested.

'He's not listening…' Kai thought to herself with dead-pan looks once more. The small Chef looks excited as ever.

"The ancient food treasure, the 'Regal Mammoth' Certainly, too…It's not the only inhabiting animal thought, right?" he asked.

"The time the request is the Regal Mammoth, but…" Toriko paused for dramatic moments, "The real goal…is different right~" Toriko smirked, glance over at IGO who went silence.

'He probably backfired that on IGO for telling him not to eating..' Kai ponder on that but looks curious on the real goal would be.

"The details will…be explained by the chief." He said as the helicopter they all ride on slowly descended down to Gate G.

"9998.…9999.…Ten…thousand!" A middle-aged man with chiseled features, a flat nose and is completely bald. He has two vertical scars on the left side of his head and three metal piercing on the top of it. He wears a white and gray sleeveless cameo shirt and a pair of beige shorts, grunted as he was finish with a push-up with a large Hayanpanther on top of him.

"Chief!" A person called out toward him, "Chief Mansam!"

"Wha, did ya just call me HANsome!?" Mansam shot his head across the room with wide eyed.

"N-no, I didn't say that…." The minion said, anime sweat drop as he continues, "Torik-sama has arrived…"

"He's finally here!" Mansam yelled cause his Hayanpanther to jump off of him as he ignore the action, "That kid!" He laughed as he slowly get up, sweating from all push-up with grins.

"Aaaaaalright, prepare the choice sake! Bahahahha, there'll be party tonight!" IGO Development Bureau Director and Gourmet Research Facility Chief Mansam hollered.

"Gochisousamades, Toriko-sama!" The Soliders in front of the gates saluted at Toriko who hopped out of the Helicopter out first then next the small chef and his childhood who glance around in awe or with a dead-pan expression.

"Stop with that greeting. Is the Chief here?"Toriko asked.

"Yes! He's eager and furthermore his stomach is empty and he is looking forward to it!"

"Why…?" Toriko asked, sweat dropped, unsure of what's going through that Chief mind.

"Th…this is the entrance to the island…?" Komatsu glance around nervously yet eager to see more.

"No…This isn't an exact route, Matsu-chan. Accurately this is the 'Research Facility's' entrance if I remember right.." Kai monotones cause IGO Johannes startled by how well information she was before stammered.

"Um..Miss Kai is correct…There is another entrance for sight seeing. Generally only one small part of the garden is presented to the public. You can't enter the interior Garden without passing through this 'First Gourmet Research Facility.' "

"It…It looks fun~ The research facility…" Komatsu stared in disbelief at Johannes .

"You're originally a five-star chef, right? But you can't enter this place simply, Komatsu-kun. Miss Kai." Johannes shift his sunglasses once more.

"Hey, Hurry up Komatsu, Kai or I'll leave you behind!"

"Y-yes!"

"Yeah..yeah..what a drag…" The heroine sighed before walking sulk behind them.

"The inside of the research facility is big, so don't become a lost kid." Toriko explained cause Komatsu to give him a small glares. They continues to walk down the stairs as Komatsu looks up and give out a yelp.

"A-Amazing! This is the 'Gourmet Research Facility!'"

Many factory machines start to running with dead animal that seem to be fresh and cooked, another side has strange ingredients that continues to lining up and went through the machines.

"Yeahhhh, its like a giant foodstuff production factory here.." Kai stare dead-pan at them as Komatsu jaw-dropped at the view before him.

"About thirty percent of the world's ingredients are possible to be produced here. Through it is all for study." Johannes explained.

"There are ingredients here I've never seen…" The chef said, eyes them with awe.

"Of course, That's ordinary for such a huge garden. Selective breeding is being done." IGO nods.

"A…Amazing…"

"It's study that can't be done publicly," Toriko said, start to take off the shirt, "But it's still done."

"Eh?" Komatsu blinked in confused.

"Take off your clothes, Komatsu, Kai. All of them."

"Hey, can I just walk in my bra and underwear?" Kai asked the staff who rejected the idea cause her to tear-eyed at this idea of being nudist in front of two males.

"Don't worry..It will be sterilized…" The Staff explained, "Go in."

"Dammit!" Kai cursed as she start to take off her clothes, red in the face cause all males staff a nose bleed or covered their eyes in politely of Komatsu who respect her as childhood while the female staff give her a death glare of her well-tone body.

"Toriko…Komatsu…if you peek at me..I'll kill you~" Kai smiles darkly cause Toriko and Komatsu to shivered at that dark tone decided not to risk their female companion's wrath.

"Y-yes ma'am…" They both meekly said aloud as they all walk inside of the tunnel room.

"T-this is as far as I go. Somehow, stay safe." Johannes said, try to covered his nosebleed with a serious face.

"Don't worry Johannes. We're definitely going to capture the Regal Mammoth." The Bishokou-ya nod at him as Kai smiles, "Turn your head straight you pervert." Cause Toriko to shot his head forward in fear of the Red-haired's wrath.

"I wish you food luck…" The IGO muttered before passed out from nosebleed along with some few guy who can't handle the loss of blood.

After a cold shower, and put on the clothes back on, they were ready to heading toward the elevator to go down the basement

"We're meeting the chief go stories into the basement." Toriko explained as they ride it way down, listen to elevator's music cause Kai to twitches, deeply want to kill that music somewhat but decided not to.

"Um…T-Toriko-san…What kind of person is this Chief…?" Komatsu asked, nervously.

"N…He's an ordinary old drunk…" Toriko blinked.

"B-but he's in a high position, isn't he…?!" Komatsu glance back with disbelief by Toriko's description.

'A old drunk..you got that right…' Kai thought to herself with a dead-pan looks.

"In the IGO, he comes after the president and Vice president…as a matter of fact, he called the number three man." The Glutton said as he thinking on that cause Komatsu to gasped.

"A-Amazing! He's even greater than Business Bureau Director Uumen!"

"Yes..He's even famous as a militant." The Blue haired giant nods.

"Matsu-chan, Don't be nervous." Kai said, pats on the small Chef's messy black hair.

"It's fine if you feel nervous. It's natural since you don't know what will attack us in the 'Laboratory.'" The Bishokou-ya blinked.

"Eh?" The chef blinked in confused.

"You'll understand when you get there." He said as the Elevator open the door for them cause Komatsu to bug-eyed as Bat-talon Yeti screeched, hitting the glasses cause Komatsu to shrieked like a girl and fell backward.

"Ooooo~A new species of Bat-talon Yeti!?" Kai exclaimed with serious face on.

"Ohohoh~ Hello, 'Chain-animals~' " Toriko grinned.

A person with bloody apron came up to them, "Gochisousamades, Toriko-sama, Welcome..The Chief is waiting…" He gestured with one hand since his other arm was chopped off.

That cause Komatsu to freaked out, "Hang on! Toriko-san! What's on the Earth is this place! What are these animals!" He glance around at the Glasses that held many Animals in it who seem to calm down or banging on the glasses, roaring. "I've never seen living creatures like these before…!" Komatsu gasped at some animals.

"They're thing like clones of extinct species or mixes of fellow animals." The Bishokou-ya explains as they continues to walk down the hall, "They're mostly one that don't currently exist in the wild. They're artificial 'New Species.' They're nicknamed 'Chain-animals'…They're here for Great cause of what's called 'Gourmet research' to be carried out. But for the Animal protection and from an ethical point of view, this place is in the research facility, but it's top secret…"

"THIS IS BAD-The 'Muscle Crab' has escaped!" One person run toward the Bishokou-ya in exclaimed and panicked.

BUROAAAAAAAA!

"GYAAAA!"

"Hurry, the anesthesia!"

"Wa..Waa…waaaa" Komatsu stammered, paralyzed in one spot.

"Well, well, there's no delay~" The Glutton chuckled darkly, crack his knuckle as he ready for fight, "Step back, Komatsu, Kai…eh..?" Toriko paused as he notice a familiar guy walk up to the Muscle Crab as he pull out a fist and punch him right into the face.

"FRY PANCH!"

BUGYAAA!

The Muscle Crab was out cold after that cried and was down for good as Mansam smirked.

"Now, go to sleep! That's what I always say, Right?"

'Oh no…God, please don't lets him see me!' Kai plead to herself

"The chain animal has been calm down…" Mansam muttered.

"Unforgiving as usual…Have a little more sympathy for the animals. Chief Mansam!" Toriko chuckled.

"BAHAHAHAHA! No matter who your opponent is, to strike with all your power is love, right? EH TORIKO! Welcomeeeeee! NO…" Mansam chuckled as his face was bit red as he walk up to the Glutton to clasp their hand together. "It's 'Welcome back'…right~hic!"

"Already drunk, eh? You drunkard Chief!"

'He…he's huge! His physique is no different from Toriko-san's! This man is the Gourmet Research Facility's chief!' Komatsu jaw-dropped.

'Please don't lets him SEE me! Please don't see me! I BEG YOU!' Kai chanted in her mind.

"You're always drinking in this basement. What's it like when you occasionally go out to a town, Chief?" Toriko taunted.

"Bahahahaha! Nowhere as stimulating as this place!" Mansam chortled, "That's right! Have you seen the Coliseum in a while, Toriko?"

"Not yet…what sorta thing is happening there?" The blue giant blinked.

"Today, there's a match to be seen!" Mansam smirked.

"Who's fighting?"

"The battle wolf."

In the Coliseum, there was a Troll Kongs and a Galala Gator roaring at each other as if they're ready to battle each other as the tourism cheer them on.

GYUUUUAAAAHHHH!

GOAAAAAA!

"Ooooooh! It's going, It's Going!" Mansam hollered over the loud cheers from the peoples around the Coliseum.

"Whoa! What is this place!" The chef cried in shock.

"The Gourmet Coliseum…A arena with the purpose of measuring wild beasts fighting strengths and captured levels.." Kai monotone, still in disbelief that certain Chief have not noticed anything about her yet but she's take that to advantage still.

"Yeah, but the real purpose is for powerful or rich men as simply as place for a hobby." Toriko shrugged as Mansam chortled, "Bahahaha, you're giving it a bad reputation, Toriko! But really that's right on target!"

"Amazing..A Galala Crocodile and a Troll Kong are battling!" Komatsu gasped, eyes the monsters.

The Galala Crocodile prepare its leap and open its jaw to get to swallow or cut The Troll Kong into piece but missed as the Troll Kong jumped out of its spot and used its body to body-slam the Crocodile and start to bite the hard skin harder cause the reptile to cried out as it used death roll to shake him off.

The Troll Kong fell off with a roar as the reptile used it tail to slam the Kong down cause him to cried out in pain.

"It's beating the Troll Kong!" The chef cried in disbelief.

"Thought the Capture level of the Troll Kong is higher, it must used up all its stamina fighting the other wild beast.." Kai watched while Toriko nod its head as they watch the Galala Crocodile finally got the Troll Kong into its mouth to shook him back and forth cause the Troll Kong to growls in anger, used its hands together to knock the giant reptile out cold.

"Oooo~ Precisely at the place of its brain! As expected of the Troll Kong's power!" Kai shout, already at the announcement room with her sidekick, Sid who agreed with her,

"Even with the Galala Crocodile's small brain, it cause Cerebral Concussion! By the way, who are you?"

"I'm your new partner, Kai?"

"Oh, then welcome! Now-"

As Kai and Sid start to play by play the game cause Toriko and Komatsu to sweat drop at the female companion went off to.

'She have too much fun…' They both thinking to themselves but bit glad that she does cheer up after being moody when she arrived here.

GAUOOOOOOOO!

The Troll Kong beats its chest in victory cause the rich peoples to cheer or booing while threw money up in the air.

"Bahahahah as expected of the Troll Kong! There was no surprise! Well, that at least sets their places. The capture levels are even accurate! Eh, Toriko!" The Chief laughed.

"There's a difference in intelligence, the Galala Crocodile is still pretty tough…More than that, Is a Battle Wolf really going to appear, here. Chief?" Toriko glanced at him.

"Do you think it's a lie, looking at the sold out crowd of customers, Now Let's prepare your special seats, Toriko! By the way is your missy going to be okay up there instead of with us?" Mansam asked, finally notice their female friend as if he see her somewhere else but unsure of what to say about this situation.

"Yeah, lets leave her up there, she looks like she have fun. But isn't this place always sold out…" The bishokou-ya glanced at the red-haired female who still doing the announcements game with Sid.

"Bwahahha, I guess so! But today is especially hot, isn't it?!" Mansam grinned.

"B-but I heard people generally can't get into the research facility..so this place, the coliseum, is different…" Komatsu glanced around nervously.

"Heeey! Hey, Komatsu! Take a good look at the crowd!" Chief hollered as the small Chef blink then look around to see peoples once more closely.

"These people…I feels like I've seen them all before…?"

"Of course. The customers of this place are mostly presidents of every country and famous wealthy people. Gourmet Mania is only for the very wealthy. The IGO, International Gourmet Organization, has gone past its foundation as a united nations specialized agency. That's due to the great demand for Gourmet Ingredients that it's become a huge organization. Nowadays it's grown into a gigantic independent organization. The current number of member nations is 360, even exceeding the member-nation count of the united nations." Toriko explains with serious expression cause Komatsu to jaw-dropped at the explanation.

"A lot of people here are all IGO member-nation's VIPs. Now, because they want to see this coliseum, Country heads joining in the IGO are here."

"BAHAHAHA, with only that this place has a thrilling fascination, doesn't it?" Mansam chortled, "You can't stop with seeing just one wild beast battle! It's poisoning! Now this place has been established as officially the place to let out stress for rich men! And gambling is also done here~ an enormous amount of money gets moved in one day, particularly today." Mansam start to sit down on the chair to explains futher.

"You'll be able to see the strongest confrontation from ancient times!" The chief grins.

"Alllright peoples! Today's main events!" Kai hollered in the microphone as she glance at the paper that appear out from nowhere. "Which wild beast are you betting on?! The gate is opening! The monsters are appearing!"

"Oh~ This is getting exciting is it Kai-chan~?" Sid smiled. "Oh my, Kai-chan! Coming out from the First Gate with great vigor is…An elephant!?"

"Not a elephant, Sid! That happens to be from the Northern Continent, the dealer of rampage! Elephantsaurus! A Captured level seventeen!" Kai grinned as she continues to called out each animals with Sid's comments. "From the second gate is Amphibious Devil, Gauchi!"

GAUOOOHHIIIII!

"What's level is this creature?! Its looks so ferocious!" Sid exclaimed.

"it's a capture level thirteen mammal Beast, so watch out from its tusk if you want to face against it." the red-haired woman smirked before gasp dramatically, "It's out! This time a Boss has appeared, Sid! From the third gate, the Troll Kong's boss!"

"Oh my! The Silverback!" Sid gasped alongside. "Its capture level is ten!"

"Whoa! Appearing from the fourth gate with a strange cry, the shinigami from the sky, The mysterious bird Georld! What a strange name for a strange bird isn't Sid?"

"Yes it is~ But be surprise that this strange bird as you called Georld is level fifteen!" Sid smiles.

"Yeowch! Looks like they're all ready to rumble it out but wait! There's even more! The Fifth gate is opening! Oh my…"

"The 'Gourmet Coliseum' is proud to have for the first time. "Sid called out "Produced from Ancient times, The strongest wolf! Introduction the Battle Wolf!"

The giant white wolf came out, panting heavily as its looks like its ready to battle cause the other monster to trembling, eye widen at the ancient wolf.

Toriko jumped out of his chair, eye-widen, "Awesome…This is…the battle wolf.." He gasped in awe by the beauty.
