True Blue (Toriko Insert X OC)

Chapter Thirty Four ~ Two years Before

~Ao~

Zebra and i flew Shiro to Coco's place, it didn't matter why he was here but anyway as soon as we got to Coco's place Shiro flew off somewhere, Coco had put some food out so Zebra and i sat at the table, we were soon joined by Sunny, i was glad to see he was okay, Zebra dug into the food right away, i did too while Sunny was enjoying some tea.

"Pretty good job staying alive Sunny"Zebra said munching on the food "Shut up like hell i'd die that easily, in fact you got out of that way too unscratched Zebra"Sunny said "I think that cause he wasn't reckless unlike you"i said "You're one to talk with that nasty scar"Sunny said.

That's right i had a scar running from the top of my eye brow all the way down to my neck, on the left side of my face, i didn't mind it actually at least it didn't hit my eye, i pouted a bit "Please don't call it nasty"i said "What about Toriko? Because of that bastard"Zebra said smartly changing the subject.

"That's enough what we need to be focusing on now is..."Sunny trailed off as Zebra heard Coco coming, HE HAD WHITE HAIR!!!! it was a total shock seeing him like that, at least he was alive "So what was the important thing ya had to say?"Zebra asked "Yeah where ya been this whole time Coco?"Sunny asked "Ao i'm glad you're alright despite that scar"Coco said.

"Thanks but you're the one that looks really different"i said "Oh this, this just happens when i use too much poison"he said, "Makes sense"I shrugged "It makes no sense at all, i've never heard of this!!!"Sunny yelled "Well anyway i've been doing some investigating and i've got something i'd like you to take a look at"Coco said.

"My gourmet cells showed their face and took considerable amount of energy with them, honestly i was close to dying, the Gourmet Corp sous chef Grinpatch's immune system was outstanding everything from his esophagus to his organs down to the blood vessels were like a filtration system, his body could detox every type of poison, that combined with his personality that never felt any stress made a very high resistance power, against his immune system even my poison virus just circulated around his body"Coco went to explain but honestly i didn't care.

Seemed Zebra didn't either "I don't care about that crap get to the damn point already"he said, "What do you think this is?"Coco asked showing what he had in the bag, it seemed like a rock, Coco explained how he found it and upon touching it the rock absorbed calories from Sunny, this made me think of something papa told me.

Coco went on to explain more about his hypothesis and i was certain what he had thought up was the same that papa told me about, "Ao you haven't said anything in a while"Coco mentioned "I was just thinking, what you describe reminded me of something papa told me"i said "The old man?"Zebra asked, i nodded "Acacia's full course has eight items like every other full course but only seven of them are somewhat known about, the eight is his appetizers is called CENTER"i said.

"CENTER?"Coco asked curious to know more "Papa told me that in the Gourmet World there's a place that connects to the very core of the earth, that in the core is a food paradise and that among all those ingredients is CENTER, said to be the ultimate revitalising ingredient possibly capable of bring back the dead"i said.

"Those NEO bastards probably know about it too, it seems their after GOD too"Zebra said "I wouldn't be too sure, but whatever their goal is i'm sure it's nothing good"i said "Well anyway we need to gather Ichiryuu's full course, the last ingredient is said it can be eaten infinitely"Coco said.

"It'll be though to find it we'll need Toriko's sense of smell"Sunny said "He's probably already off to the Gourmet World to save Komatsu, i'm sure he can handle that himself rather it's best we don't help him"i said, the other nodded in agreement.

Anyway with that we headed to the first biotope in order to find the main dish to papa's full course menu, of course no luck this time, or the next or the next and so on.
