Chapter 195: Chapter 194: The Red Kami
Chapter 194: The Red Kami
On a building overlooking the river, everyone was gathered around a giant dining table, enjoying the meat of the Carat Sizzled Cattle. This was an extremely rare meat; even in the IGO’s garden, there wasn’t much of it.
"The taste is indeed excellent. The meat juices gush out like a fountain, and the well-done meat is still so tender," Kenji commented. On a scale of one to ten, he would give the Carat Sizzled Cattle an eight.
"Uncle Mansam, why didn’t you use GOD as the prize?"
The corner of Mansam’s mouth twitched. "Kenji, my boy, there’s only so much GOD to go around. The research on its regeneration hasn’t made significant progress yet."
"However, the IGO isn’t that stingy."
Mansam clapped his hands, and top-tier ingredients from the Gourmet World were brought out. He was now the President of the IGO, the undisputed number one. Ichiryu had retired and no longer interfered in IGO matters.
Luffy and the other big eaters couldn’t take their eyes off the food. Sugoi! These dishes are just too amazing!
The belly meat of the Black Triangle Flame Turtle-Fish, the core of the Million Bamboo, the neck meat of the Spiny-Backed Dragon...
The Capture Levels of these ingredients were all over 1000. Ingredients from the Gourmet World were no longer out of reach.
Just as everyone was about to dig in, several tentacles shot out and swept all the food from the table.
"What is that?"
They turned to look and saw a red, spherical creature that looked a lot like a pufferfish floating in the air. It had a harmless appearance, and anyone who didn’t know better would subconsciously let their guard down.
"The legendary Red Kami? Its Capture Level is unknown. It’s said to be a ferocious fish with an appetite as deep as the sea, that will eat anything and everything," Toriko said in surprise. He had only heard of it but had never seen it before. It was an extremely mysterious creature.
"Isn’t this just a creature similar to the Demon Ogre Shell?" Kenji commented. It was probably a lesser version.
"Huh, it really is similar. I wonder what it tastes like," Toriko said, wiping his drool. Having eaten the extremely delicious Demon Ogre Shell, he was naturally curious about this similar Red Kami.
"Where’s the ferocious part?"
Seeing the Red Kami’s harmless appearance, Usopp decided it was his time to shine. Everyone, stand back! I’m about to show my stuff!
Mr. Satan also mustered up his courage, preparing to display his own valiant posture.
ROAR!
The moment the two of them got close, the Red Kami opened its massive mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth. The deafening roar scared Usopp and Mr. Satan so badly that they threw their hands up in surrender.
"Get back!"
Gohan saw the tentacles behind the Red Kami shoot out and wanted to save the two, but he ended up crashing and burning himself. His life energy was sucked out, and he collapsed to the ground.
Gohan: Kids, is this right?
"Amazing. To be able to absorb such a vast amount of biological energy," Kenji said in surprise.
"Perhaps it’s more than that. The Red Kami should be able to absorb all forms of energy, even the energy of attacks," Setsuno said with a smile.
Kenji nodded. This Red Kami had the feel of a mini-NEO, but its absorption also had a limit. In the anime, Son Goku had needed a Spirit Bomb to defeat the Red Kami. He had really been nerfed and suppressed way too much.
"Divine Knocking—Black Flash Elbow Strike."
POW!
Kenji flashed in front of the Red Kami. An elbow strike, trailing black lightning, paralyzed it.
Uwaaaah—
The Red Kami was instantly immobilized. The energy from the Knocking was too vast. I can’t eat it all! It’s overflowing!
Kenji was not restricted by any rules. He was still at his peak. If he could cook NEO, the Red Kami was even less of a problem.
"An interesting Knocking technique. Your skill is quite novel, Kenji-kun," Setsuno said with a smile.
"It’s all because my master taught me well."
"By the way, Master isn’t here this time?"
Setsuno shook her head and said helplessly, "He went to the usual place. You know the one."
Kenji understood instantly. The Bacchus Islands. Jiro could go there eight times a week, at a minimum. Besides him, no one could probably break that record. In fact, Jiro just went there to satisfy his cravings. With his appetite, drinking the entire Bacchus Islands dry in one go would be no problem.
"Kenji, that move of yours was so cool!" Luffy said, very interested. He wanted to learn it.
"You’ll be able to master a similar move in the future," Kenji said meaningfully. Conqueror’s Haki coating also had a black lightning effect.
Kizaru’s sunglasses glinted. He looked at Luffy meaningfully. He didn’t think Luffy couldn’t do it. The Monkey family... Garp and Dragon both had Conqueror’s Haki coating. It was only a matter of time before Luffy mastered it. Although Conqueror’s Haki coating was a standard for top-tier powerhouses, it wasn’t invincible. After all, a battle was decided by comprehensive strength.
"Luffy, your second brother, Sabo, isn’t dead," Kenji suddenly said.
"Really?! He’s not dead?" Luffy’s hands shot out, grabbing Kenji’s shoulders. His eyes were wide as he looked at Kenji with immense anticipation.
"Sabo? Straw Hat boy, your network of connections is really kowai ne~"
"The Revolutionary Army’s second-in-command, the Chief of Staff," Kizaru sighed.
"Eh?!"
Nami and the others thought the name Sabo sounded a bit familiar. When Kizaru said that, they all gasped in unison. His father was the leader of the Revolutionary Army, his second brother was the second-in-command... not to mention Garp and the others. His network was extensive.
"Is Sabo famous?" Luffy asked, scratching his head in confusion.
SMACK!
The Straw Hat crew face-palmed. If the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army wasn’t famous, then there were very few famous people left.
"Luffy, you should really read the newspaper," Nami said, feeling exhausted. If Luffy read the paper, he would have known about Sabo long ago.
"Hehe, Sabo’s not dead! That’s great!" Luffy laughed. "Thank you so much! I’m so looking forward to meeting him!"
The Red Kami went peacefully. Komatsu and Sanji prepared and cooked it.
"The fat is sweet and melts in your mouth."
Kenji took a bite. He didn’t even need to chew; it dissolved directly in his mouth. Although it was rich in fat, it wasn’t greasy. You could taste various sea fish flavors, and the umami was perfectly expressed. The Red Kami had eaten many fish in the sea, and during the process of digestion and absorption, a part of their delicious essence had been deposited in its flesh. But compared to the Demon Ogre Shell, the gap was still not small. The hype around the legend was too exaggerated.
"Get away from me, you old pervert!"
POW!
Nami’s face was filled with anger. A Lushan Rising Dragon Fist sent Master Roshi flying, his nosebleed drawing a beautiful arc in the air.
Son Goku and the others all pretended not to see. They had seen this kind of thing many times. If the old pervert got himself killed one day, he couldn’t blame anyone else.
"Where’s Zoro?"
Luffy finally noticed someone was missing.
"Huh, Vegeta isn’t here either."
"I remember Zebra came too."
Son Goku and Toriko also noticed their acquaintances were missing. It was already evening. Where had they gone?
"Isn’t it normal for that moss-head to get lost?" Sanji took the opportunity to mock him.
Nami and the others nodded in agreement. Zoro’s lack of a sense of direction was severe. Sometimes, when the ship was about to set sail, Zoro would be lost somewhere. The most incredible time, Zoro had gotten lost and ended up at a Marine branch.
"The three of them are fighting on the other side of the island."
Kenji pointed in a direction.
"Huh?"
Those who knew the three of them were puzzled. How did those three end up fighting?
