Why the fuck we need to go out of our way to sew up my cheek?
Toriko: Aw, shut up. This is part of the warden's orders, too.
And you're always way too conspicuous anyhow...
We're just giving you a little camouflage.

Narration: "Lift House"---
It continues to the Human World's largest desert area, "Sand Garden" as its only means of communication to the outside world. ["Sand Garden" big/bold]
Soun Garden [Top Sign]
Lift House [Middle Sign]
Dust Cloud Valley [Lower Sign]
It takes approximately one month by ropeway to cross over the raging sandstorm of the "Dust Cloud Valley" on route to get there on a journey via a giant lift...
The travelers must pay for use of the lift plus the rent of the "Life House" (For a month long one-way trip).
Komatsu: Uwa~~, it's so pretty!
There's a "Sand Rainbow". I've never seen one before.
I heard they even have edible sand at "Sand Garden", so I'm really looking forward to it.
SFX: Kira kira
Komatsu: Hm?
That condominium type "Lift House" is all broken down...
It looks like it's been years since anyone's ridden it, don't you think...?

Page 5:
Komatsu: But even here...
Even though we spent that high rent and rented a pretty resort inn type, but
it's still this broken own...
SFX: BOROOON...
Zebura: Man, there's nothing to do.
Wanna brawl, Toriko?
Toriko: Naw. Just calm own you idiot.
Zebura: Come on man, we haven't fought in forever!
Toriko: What's with you and needing to have meaningless fights? Can't you find something better to do?
Zebura: Fighting is all I am, dammit!
Toriko: I don't care, you moron.
Zebura: Who's a moron? I'll kill you, KORAA!!
Toriko: Aah!?
Komatsu: They're gonna make us pay tons for repairs~~
SFX: BOGAA BAKYA BAGOO
Komatsu: And anyhow, with Zebura-san acting all rambunctious like this...
Coco/Sani: I refuse.
Komatsu: I can kind of understand why Coco-san and Sani-san were able to make such a quick decision to turn down meeting with him... And also...
Somebody: Komatsu, seconds please!
KomatsuL Ah...
O... Okay!

Page 6:
Toriko: So you really did eat that "Execution Beast" huh?
Guess you really have leveled up, eh, Zebura?
SFX: Michi
Zebura: Same with you. You really upped your power, haven't ya Toriko?
Makes me happy as fuck.
I've still got somebody on equal level that I can go head to head with...
SFX: MOGU MOGU
Zebura: By the way, kid!!
Komatsu: Y... Yes!!?
Zebura: You're...
not gettin' cocky, are ya?
Komatsu" Eh!?
No, absolutely not, not one iota!
Zebura: .........
Gotcha...
SFX: Kuchi kucha
Komatsu: .........
Zebura: Listen up, kid.
Think of me as an "environment".
Komatsu: ...Eh?
SFX: NUH

Page 7:
Komatsu: An...
An environment...?
Zebura: Yeah...
If it can't interact with (adapt to) me well,
that creature goes extinct...
That's nature's providence...!!
Got it?
Komatsu: .........
Y... Yes...
SFX: ZOH Goku...
Toriko: Hahhahha, don't worry Komatsu. You don't have anything about Zebura you need to adapt to.
Zebura: Toriko, you bastard, you haven't adapted at all!
Komatsu: ..........
Zebura-san...
He's a Gourmet Four Heavenly King just like Toriko-san, but...
he's distinctly different from Coco-san and Sani-san...
This person is a criminal and unmistakably...
a dangerous creature---!!
To... Toriko-san... will this really be all right...?
Brining Zebura-san on this trip with us...

Page 8-9:
Narration: "Sand Garden"----
The whole area is in fact a *3,900,000 square kilometer desert area that is the largest in all of the Human World.
It contains various "Gourmet Deserts" like the "Rice Desert" where "natural rice" is grown and the "Black Sugar Desert" where a sweet "sugar" is harvested----
As well as the "Resource Deserts" which produce "coal" and "rare earth", as well as the "Jewel Deserts" and such which mine "gold dust" and "diamonds". Many different kinds of deserts exist, it is truly a sand paradise. [Everything in quotes is in bold]
SFX: OOOOOOO
Asterisk: *About 4 times the area of the Sahara Desert
Zebura: Haaah, finally here!!
So this is the kingdom of sand, eh!!?
Guy: .........
(On page): Awawa... Zebu...
Zebura: Hey, what're you looking at? I'll kill you, you bastard. KORA!
Guy: Hi... HIEEE
P... Please just spare...
just spare my life!
SFX: GAT GATA (Trembling)
Zebura: Gimme something to eat instead.
Introduce me to a good "sand cooking" shop, dammit.
Komatsu: ......H... Hey, Toriko-san...
Toriko: Hm?
With Zebura-san...
it'll be... all right, right?
Toriko: Hm? What do you mean?
Komatsu: No... Um...
Toriko: Haha, are you worried?
Well, he is a fully-fledged criminal after all.
I guess you can't help but question if he'll really cooperate with us.
Komatsu: W... Well it's not so much trust...
Um...
Zebura-san has Hell Ears...
I...
He'll hear all of it......
But I want to say this...!!

Page 10:
Komatsu: The crime Zebura-san committed...
I think it really is incredibly heavy...
Also I...
can't see anything to say he's reformed. And for us to be traveling with him...
I can't say I agree with it...!!
And honestly, even releasing him...
It's over... I'm going to get utterly killed...
That would make him think I'm cocky and full of myself even at the best of times...
Toriko: Komatsu!
I think so, too!
Komatsu: !!
SFX: NUH
Komatsu: To...
Toriko-san...
Toriko: But...
We really do need his power for the Gourmet Pyramid.
This is a mutual give-and-take operation...
Komatsu: B... But...
Toriko: And also, Komatsu.
Zebura's existence doesn't necessarily...
only affect this world in bad ways.
Komatsu: Eh?
.......?
The one who wiped out

Page 11:
Komatsu: 26 whole species!?
SFX: HYUOOOO
Sign: Rental Camels
Toriko: !
Guy: Well well, here are some customers I haven't seen in quite some time...
welcome, please come here.
Toriko: Hey, we came here to rent some camels...
Guy: Thank you very much.
To which desert do you wish to travel?
-----Well though,
the deserts I can recommend right now are very limited...
Toriko: Is that so?
Komatsu: ............
This kind of...
feels like a somewhat desolate city
Even the houses are broken down...

Page 12:
Guy: Yes... the truth is that because of some strife that's gone on in recent years... the city has been brought to this state...
We've also had a severe drop in tourists... The number of people using the "Lift Houses" has also greatly decreased.
Komatsu: ...Ah! So then...
So that's why there was a Lift House that hadn't been used in years...
Guy: But it's all okay now... The strife is over...
Thanks to that man...
Toriko: !
I see...
This is...
Guy: But...
Even if industry has restarted, some talons of that strife still clings to us...
The "weapon creature" that was sent in during the strife
even now lusts insatiably for the desert's resources...
This city has been attacked countless times......
My...
son and...
my grandson, too...
.........
An so... now only those deserts where that creature doesn't appear...
are the ones I could possibly recommend to customers.
Toriko: ..........

Page 13:
Toriko: Grammy, [It's a woman I guess.]
the desert we're going to is...
Zebura: KORAAA TORIKOO!!
YOU GUYS BETTER NOT LEAVE ME BEHIND AN GO ON AHEAD, DAMMIT!
Toriko: Ah.
Komatsu: Zebura-san!!
Granny: !!
Ze...
Zebura, you say...!?
That person is...
People: ...Eh!?
Zebura-sama!?
Zebura-sama is coming!?
SFX: ZAWAH ZORO ZORO (crowding)
Komatsu: Eh?
Guys: Zebura-samaa!!
Zebura: Oh?
Uh?
Guys: It's our savior, Zebura-samaaaaa!!
SFX: WAAAAA DODODODO
Zebura: Wh...
What the hell!?
Guys: Zebura-samaaaa
SFX: AA

Page 14:
SFX: WAAAAA
Komatsu: What on earth... is this...?
Toriko-san?
Toriko: Bitter enemies brought together.
When Zebura was released from prison, many countries took up systems no different from those they'd have in war-time.
But on the other hand, there have been many cases where countries that had already been at war have temporarily taken up military alliances as counter-measures against Zebura.
This city is distant "territory" of a country that was at war... ["Territory" in bold.]
In other words, Zebura's release
took the form of a halt to long ongoing wars.
Granny: Because of our strife... tens of thousands of this city's citizens' lives have been taken...
The elderly, and the children...
Every day was truly, truly, like hell...
I'm so glad...
I'm really so glad it's over...
Zebura-sama is...
the god that saved us.
Komatsu: ..........
Zebura: KORAA! What the fuck is with you guys!?
get away from me, you're so damn annoying!
Hm?
SFX: ZUGOGO

SFX: ZUAAAAA
Guys: !!

Hi-

Zebura: ......
SFX: WAAAAAA
Komatsu: !!
Toriko: That's
an *"Eight Tailed Scorpion"!! That thing with eight poisonous tails that slaughters every kind of creature and ruins ecosystems...!!
TL Note: Eight Tailed Scorpion = Yamata no Sasori (A pun on Yamata no Orochi, the 8-forked serpent)
Asterisk: *The Hyougo Prefecture's 平秀樹-san's work!
Toriko: This thing's an "designated isolated creature". It's a second class danger creature...!!
Granny: Haa...
Haaa...
Kid: Aih
SFX: DOTEH
Komatsu: Ah, watch out!!
Kid: KYaAAAaA
SFX: UA

Page 16:
Zebura: VOICE CUTTER!!!
SFX: ZAN
Zebura: Piece of shit creatures
shouldn't get cocky.
SFX: GIN

Page 17:
SFX: WAAAAA
Toriko: By the way, Komatsu,
those 26 species of creatures that Zebura drove to extinction...
were actually all "dangerous creatures" that upset ecosystems.
Toriko: Really,
they were all ones that needed to be wipe out!
Side: A true being of strength doesn't eat weaklings!!
People: Zebura-samaa!
Zebura-samaa!!
Zebura: Hey, bastards!!
You'd better make sure
you adapt to me!
Komatsu: Zebura-san!!
