“Why are you chasing Century Soup?” ask Komatsu.
Everyone who listened to his question would inevitably look towards Komatsu.
“Ah, ah, you do not need to tell me that it is very private,” Komatsu said.
“Hmph,” Match walking to his tent.
“What's wrong with him?” Tsunade's a little upset.
“Please, don't say anything bad about him, though, he is like that but he is very good,” said his subordinate and added, “Match, want to bring Century Soup to his hometown, Nerg City.”
“NERG CITY!!”
“What is Nerg City?” Luffy asked.
“This is the largest slum district in Jidar Country,” explains Toriko.
“Kumuh? Oh, similar to my hometown back then,” said Luffy while eating meat.
“You are also from the slums?” The people from Gourmet Yakuza asked.
“Although the trash has caught fire, it is true that the place used to be seedy,” Luffy said while recalling something. He remembered his brother who died after the fire in his hometown.
Haru who was his expression that he had to tell her that Sabo was still alive.
They nodded and did not ask when they saw his expression.
“Our boss, Match, wants every kid in the slums to eat delicious food, he needs Century Soup to do that, at the same time, he needs to, we want to repay the kindness he has given to use in the past.”
“Although his face is scary, I think he is soft inside,” Haru said.
“Hahaha, that's right,” they laughed in response.
“How about you Takimaru?” ask Toriko.
“Eh?” Takimaru's staring at him.
“I mean, we are talking about Century Soup here, this is a little chubby and fancy for the vegetarian teachings of Gourmet Knight,” Toriko said.
Takimaru smiled and said, “I need money, a lot and for something from a HEALING country LIFE, I need to buy the medicine they sell there.”
They're staring.
“Medicine? Which drug?” ask Toriko.
“This is a drug that is said to cure any disease,” Toriko said.
Haru and Tsunade did not say anything because they were unsure about the illness and even though they had known each other for a few days, they had no obligation to help her, she said, although it sounded very cruel but it was reality. Both of them did not even want to give him false hope and they also knew that the diseases in this world were different from their world. They were not even sure if they could help him.
Takimaru also did not say anything to them because ordinary doctors could not cure this disease. He knew that even though his teachings forbade him to use elixirs, he needed to get the medicine for someone important to him.
“Don't worry, we'll make that Century Soup together,” Toriko said with a smile.
“Yes, don't worry, we'll get that Century Soup!”
“Ya, we will eat together.”
The atmosphere became cheerful and they continued eating.
“How about you three?” ask Toriko.
“We? We just want to eat it,” said Luffy.
“Yes, it was our objection and we shared it with our friend back,” Tsunade said.
Haru also nodded in agreement.
“Hahaha, then we are the same, no matter what, we will get the Soup of the Century,” Toriko smiled.
Haru knows that they will be contenders tomorrow and he is ready for that. Even though he knew that they had their own important mission. He either needed the Soup of the Century or he could not return to his world.
‘Sora...’.
Haru was in his own tent but he couldn't sleep. He sighed and thought that this world was very dangerous. He could not open the group chat and check the strength of his enemy. He only knew that there would be three enemies that would attack them. He remembered that the two of them were quite weak but there was a character of a middle boss coming with them. Also, the strength of every person in this world was somewhat abstract and it was hard to tell whether they were stronger or weaker.
“Haru, have you slept?” Tsunade asked.
“Not yet, what's up?” ask Haru.
“I'm not sure, but I feel really bad drinking that soup now,” Tsunade said.
Haru also understands that a woman thinks of using their emotions rather than their logic.
Tsunade, who had heard their sad story, inevitably showed empathy to them. He came just because he wanted to recreation and eat Century Soup. He had no profound reason similar to Takimaru and Match wanting to help someone.
Haru turned to her and said, “You don't have to think too much, the amount of Century Soup is quite a lot, we can eat it together and even share it with everyone in the group.”
“Now after you mention it,” Tsunade nodded and felt better. He heard his explanation quite logical and easy to understand. He looked at her and said, “You are really good at making a girl comfortable, huh?”
Haru rubbed his nose, “I have no such intention but you can interpret it with your imagination.”
Tsunade snorted, “I'm a few years older than you.”
“Usia is just a number, and the important thing is a feeling,” Haru said.
“Alright, you need to sleep, we have to get up early,” Tsunade turned around and said.
Haru smiled and closed his eyes only suddenly he heard a commotion.
BOOM UP! BOOM UP! BOOM UP! BOOM UP!
Everyone was shocked and walked out of their tent.
“What happened?”
They saw smoke coming out from the distance.
“A blast?”
Haru knows that it is the villain of this world, “We have to move.”
“Agreed, let's pack it all up and start moving,” Toriko said.
They did not reject the idea and started packing their luggage to move.
“Cih!”
The wall penguins also followed them.
They ran until they heard a voice coming from behind.
Bzz! Bzz! Bzz! Bzz!
Toriko turned around and narrowed her eyes. He saw something flying towards them, “Awas!”
Haru also saw a group of ferocious insects with terrifying, sharp, and powerful claws moving towards them. He knew that one strike from it would destroy his skin and body. He couldn't run because it meant he was going to leave everyone behind. He decided to stop and fight. He started making some zippers from around him.
“Saw Mode!”
*!!!!
The zipper started to move and created a large net with protruding metal that moved similar to a chainsaw.
“Net Zipper!!!”
