"Are you kidding me?" Leticia asked, looking up at him. When she received a very slight nod from him, she felt her skin crawl. "That's a joke, right! You poison bastard!" Sunny yelled at him. He absolutely refuses to go in that disgusting part on the anatomy. Toriko immediately went over to Coco and put his hands on his shoulders. "Sunny, be careful about what you say!" The hunter told him as the poison man thought, 'Sunny hasn't changed at all since the old days.'

Holding his hands out, the feminine man continued on. "Generally, it'd be fine if we just steal the jewel meat from the enemy when he comes out with it, right? Well, you can't say it's a beaut'ful way, but it's better than entering inside its body." Getting a familiar chill, Sarafina looked up and thought she sensed something up in the sky. It didn't feel far, but it didn't feel close either. However, she wasn't sure until suddenly Toriko rushed over and grabbed Sunny in a tackle grab.

"Watch out, Sunny!" The hunter shouted as a bomb-like explosion went off, forcing the two to land on their backs. Once the smoke cleared, a giant GT robot was standing in front of them. This is just turning out to be a great day, isn't it?

"So this is the new model...! That there's this kind of huge GT robo means..! They're rapidly advancing in the gourmet food world! Hu... I'm seriously Urashima Tarou.." Coco said.

"They always fight with their bare hands, like me. This guy has high power , be careful, Coco." Toriko told him as they continued to stare at the robot. One thing is for certain...this guy isn't the same one from the cave. The vibe felt completely different. "Yeah, I'm listening, but I'm also verifying if it's the same guy from the sandy beach of the cave. The ability to get the eltrcomagnetic waves transmitted from the operator to real life..! I didn't know his nature then, but if I can grasp his true nature I wouldn't be surprised." Coco told him, eyes never leaving the robot.

The two were of one mind as they both agreed that there wasn't any problem if it wasn't the operator from before. The robot looked down at them as if it just noticed them. "This is lucky... For all these famous people to be all together like this! Compared to this guy's jewel meat, getting rid of you guys is more of an achievement, isn't it? Kakakaka. Ah?" The robot said mockingly before really looking at the group.

'Why do I get the feeling that this thing is looking at me?' Sarafina thought as the guy in the machine said, "So you're the blind woman we're going after. I'll have to make sure I don't kill you when I get rid of these guys though I don't suppose maiming you wouldn't be too bad."

Sarafina let out an audible gasp when she heard that. What? It's after her? Toriko narrowed his eyes as he moved slightly in front of Sarafina. Fat chance he'll give this bastard the chance to get her! "Like I'll let you, you hunk of junk!" Leticia growled at the operator before moving close to her friend, her weapon in hand. No way was she going to let this guy lay a hand on her. Kururu let out a growl and stayed on her master's shoulder.

"A-? Who do you says's gonna get rid of whom? You piece of junk." Sunny said as he stepped forward to deal with the GT but the poison man stopped him. "Sunny, this one's mine. Everyone, the jewel meat as fast as you can." Coco told the others, stepping forward a bit. Sarafina couldn't help but get concerned over the fortune-teller. Can he really do this on his own?

"Coco." Sunny started before Coco continued. "It seems the new model GT robos can even transmit taste, can't they? If by some chance they find it before you, they'll transmit the taste data back to headquarters and probably kill the mammoth. You have to find it before them... Also.. I thought it looking at Toriko, but more so, I think everyone is exhausted. Sunny, you too, that you just now drew back your touch had nothing to do with poison, right?" The feminine man stared at Coco for a moment before answering, "...Fn... Though you'd go so far as to deceive us with that nonchalant face."
