Toriko: Heh...
I thought Coco disappeared for a second there.
He really did a good job masking his presence...
SFX: GOPO GOPO Ooo
Will we finally be able
to capture the Puffer Whale...!!?
Komatsu!
Watch closely!
Box: Komatsu, currently catching his breath.
Toriko: He ran out of breath already?!!
SFX: Gopo...

Narration: Gourmet Item Illustrated Guide [Box]
"Knocking Gun" [Top]
■Delicate Type
A Knocking Gun for delicate prey such as animals weak to stimuli or ones which with sudden tension or stress immediately degrades their meat quality. In order to inject the thin, soft needle into a target, it must hit an "acupuncture point", for which great skill is needed. Also, it will quickly dissolve inside the creature's body, so there is no long lasting paralysis effect.
Listed Price 276,00 Yen [Bottom]
Coco: Now then...
Which one shall it be...
SFX: KUAA
There are differences in each individual's vigilance.
They're tense because it's spawning season, but the characteristic loose composure and carelessness of animals that hold lethal poison will show its face.

Coco: This one looks good...

Toriko: He caught one!
Awesome...

Page 176:
Coco: No matter how you try to suppress your presence, the moment you attack, it wil unmistakably create a small "intent to kill"...
But I'll keep my consciousness melted into the sea water----......
Box: When a predator gets close to its prey, it's common practice for it to be suppressing its presence.
But in the natural world, it's impossible to completely conceal your own presence.
For the "Puffer Whale" which searches for its foe's location through sense of hearing (sound waves), it can always detect Coco's existence.
Even right now...
What Coco concealed was his "consciousness"-----
When a lion has finished eating and its stomach is full, herbivores can leisurely walk by it.
That is because they already know the lion's "consciousness" is not aimed towards them.

Page 177:
Box: Even in our society,
sometimes when a human passes through a group of animals while thinking about something else or sending a text message the animals will not run away.
Or when a human is focused on something else
sometimes animals will drop their guard and come close.
When "caution" or "hostility" or "killing intent", or any kind of "intent" is towards them,
wild animals react sensitively-----
With his consciousness quieted...
and a silent and calm power of concentration---
Those are some things Coco does that'll be good references for me.
There's a lot I can learn from him.
Toriko: ...Let's see...
......Like this?
SFX: Yura...
Coco: !
Toriko's wild aura quieted...!?

Page 178:
Coco: UOo!?
SFX: FUWAAA GOPO GOPO
Coco: He's completely erased his presence----!!
He got the hang of it just from watching?!
......That Toriko really has some amazing sensibilities.
Here, take the Knocking Gun, Toriko.
Toriko: I don't any of that stuff.
Coco: Huh?
Toriko: I memorized which spot I have to hit.
I'll capture 'em my own way.

Page 179:
SFX: GOPO GOPO GOPO
SFX: Ooooo
Toriko: Woah...
SFX: Oo...
Toriko: After erasing my presence, I feel it again...
The overwhelming presence of the Puffer Whale...!!
Its original several-meter-long giant form, shrunken by the pressure of the deep sea. I can
understand it now...

Page 180:
Toriko: When this guy had a giant body, the power...! That weight...!
I can sense it...!!
SFX: Ooooo
The compression of that is this thing's "good taste",
and also its "poison sack".
SFX: Su...

Page 181:
SFX: Gu...
Coco: !
Knocking... with a finger?
It's gonna go "toxic"...!!
Toriko: Using a delicate type, then
the reverberation from an instantaneous thrust should be plenty...!!
From the gills to the center of he head-section
at an angle of 45 degrees...

SFX: SHUBAH

Page 183:
SFX: Fuwa---...
Toriko: ALL RIGHT!
I got it!!
--Er, HUH?!
SFX: BUWAO
Toriko: Dammit... Was my knocking angle off...?
Or maybe I let some "killing intent" get out for a moment?
Coco: No...
Your presence and Knocking were perfect.
You just had bad luck. The "poison sack" was close to the gills...
Toriko: Dammi~~t.
Coco: Toriko... What an amazing man...
He mastered the skills to capture the Puffer Whale his own in an instant...
His growth as a Bishokuya isn't stopping any time soon...

Page 184:
Toriko: Ugh.
I'm already...
out of breath...?!
Coco: Let's go up. We'll catch out breath and give it another shot.
Toriko: ......
Box: About 5 minutes have passed since Toriko and Coco had entered the sea
SFX: GOPO GOPO.
For Toriko and Coco who prided themselves in their incredible lung capacity, that was an unbelievably short time to run out of breath.
That was just how much the concentration needed to catch one little Puffer Whale had sapped their stamina.
1 Hour Later----
SFX: ZAZAA....

Page 185:
Box: Komatsu has given up on going into the sea.
Komatsu: !
SFX: ZABAA
Toriko: ....Hew.
I finally successfully caught one!
Coco: We caught quite a few, Komatsu-kun!
Komatsu: A...
Amazing!!
SFX: BAN

Page 186:
Komatsu: You got so many!!
(On Page): Amazing
Coco: Looks like 10 in all. I failed quite a lot, too, though.
Toriko: But for two of the Four Heavenly Kings to be hunting for an hour, this is pretty pathetic...
Komatsu: For this phantasmal delicacy, that's a big catch!!
Coco: ......Now then...
The real trial starts here...!
The retail price for an non-toxified "Puffer Whale" is about 100 million, but if the "poison sack" is completely removed then it shoots up to 300 million.
However, if it's "toxified", all at once, it drops to 0...! (Well, there's actually a price of 8 million for one on the black market, though.) [Parenthetical is smaller/unbold]
Komatsu: S...So these are like 10 winning lottery tickets for a 1 or 3 hundred million yen jackpot...?
Or else they just turn into scraps of paper...
Toriko: The money doesn't matter, man!
We're counting on you, Coco.
SFX: Su...

Page 187:
SFX: Goku...
Coco: Even if I fail on all 10 of them, don't get mad, okay?
Toriko: We will get mad!! ["will" in italics.]
(On Page): There's no way we'd ever forgive you!
Toriko: Give it everything you've got, Coco!!
Komatsu: Fight, Coco-san!!
Coco: I mean, it's been a while, so...
Toriko: Do a fortune telling! What's the rate for success?
Komatsu: Honestly, what percentage is it, Coco-san?
Coco: ...About 10%...
Toriko: Just one?!!

Page 188-189:
Box: At that time-----
In the deep sea of the "Sandy Beach of the Cave".......
at a point about 800 meters down into the deep sea
SFX: GOPO GOPO
Something mysterious...
was approaching----!
Bottom: 2 Coco!! (End)
