Joejoe: Only 1/3 so far, sir.
They're arriving here steadily, Niceny-sama.
SFX: UIIII
Niceny: We have 1000 cooks we're bringing as "slaves" into "Gourmet World". ["Gourmet World" in white.]
And the preparations there are already being put in order...
The Executive Chef is also getting tired of waiting. Hurry.
Joejoe: Yes, sir.
SFX: UUUN
SFX: KIN
SFX: VIIN
Niceny: !
Hm?

Page 9:
Tommy: Yaaaa
If it isn't Niceny-sama.
It's been a while.
Niceny: I see you've made a full recovery, Tommyrod.
And your cells have evolved even more.
Tommy: I guess.
I've got even stronger bugs living inside me now.
Next time I'm going
to crush that Toriko into a bloody pulp.

Page 10:
Niceny: Forget about Toriko and that lot for now. We already have our goal set as "Gourmet World".
Our enemies right now are the IGO of the "0th Biotope".
If we can bring a decent amount of skilled cooks with us there, we will no longer have any use for this Human World.
After that, I don't care if the destroy whole Human World and Toriko with it...
..........
Ooh.
You, too. How long do you plan
to loaf about here in the Human World?
Staa...

Page 11:
Staajyun: ..........
Skilled chefs...
if that also means the "World Ranker" chefs,
it won't be easy to capture them.
Niceny: Mm.
Joejoe: It is just as you say, Staajyun-sama...
Within the IGO's "Chef Ranking"'s top 100 ranks there are many that along with skills in cooking, are masters in other ways.
Leading the list are "National Treasure" "Setsuno", "Cooking King" "Zaus"... "Tray King" "Yuda"...
And also there are "Ramen Master" "Kurakage"... "Oil User" "Wabutora"... "Iron Plate Magician" "Moh"... "Ethnic King" "Klaraman"...
And from countries that are not member-nations of the IGO, there are also "Poison Cooking" "Tairan" and "Boss of Underground Cooking" "Livebearer" and such... Capturing those chefs within the top 30 will all be particularly less simple...
[All the names are in white]

Page 12:
Niceny: Hmph...
Of course, we plan to make them all our slaves...!!
Eventually, for when the Boss has all the worlds ingredients under his thumb...
those cooks will be necessary!
Their cooking skills cultivated in Human World
will be utilized for us all we like in "Gourmet World".
If there are chefs for which kidnapping them will pose a problem,
we can just throw in some "Nitro", can't we...!?
Joejoe: Ni...
Nitro...!!
N... No... Niceny-sama... That will not be necessary.
Because, you see, right now we are creating a large number of "GT Robo" including "Super-Large Sized" ones...

Page 13:
Joejoe: They are the newest models with performance elevated even further.
And their durability goes without saying.
We even have ones loaded with new functions such as "mimicry". ["mimicry" in bold.]
Niceny: Since the beginning, I've never cared about them as useful for "true power"...
There are evolved Nitro
that have pheromones which have hypnotism effects, so they're more convenient.
Tommy: In regards to the highly skilled
there are plenty of people whom pheromones don't work on.
They are convenient for weaklings, though.
Niceny: Anyhow, from this point forward we'll be aiming for the high ranking chefs.
And we'll attack the 7-star and above restaurants...!
Staajyun: It's a shame...
Niceny: M?
What, Staa?

Page 14:
Staajyun: Even below 7-stars...
Even outside the top 100...
there are fine chefs...

Komatsu: I saw it! The "Chef Ranking"!!
You were 99th, that's amazing, Take-chan!!
Ootake: Hmph, it's nothing much.
For me, it's just a checkpoint.
Komatsu: But someone my age owning such a prestigious restaurant, you sure are successful!
I feel proud to say I trained with you in the old days.
Ootake: I heard you were the head chef of "Hotel Gourmet", right, Komacchan?
That's quite prestigious, isn't it?
Komatsu: Well, yes, but I don't manage it or anything...
Ootake: Huhu... I saw the news about the "Century Soup", too.
Why didn't you apply for a patent? You could make some easy money with that.
Komatsu: W... Well, I don't really care about that sort of thing...
Ootake: If you have a lot of money, you can commission high class ingredients from known-name Bishokuyas. And you can create new menus though that.
And that way your restaurant can flourish even more.
You might even get more of the "stars" that are used to denote the IGO's assessment of it.
Komatsu: T... That's true, I guess...
Ootake: It is true!
A Pro-Chef always
has to make something that earns money.

Page 18:
Ootake: No matter how delicious your cooking is, if you don't earn anything from it, it's meaningless.
Even if it doesn't taste good, if you make money at it, you're doing pro work.
My goal is to stand at the top of the ranking.
And I'll do whatever it takes to get there.
So I've got to keep earning more and more...
Komatsu: ............
...Y... you've kind of...
changed, Take-chan...
You're sort of more ambitious than you were in the old days...
Someday, let's all become full fledged cooks
and make delicious cooking that can make everyone happy!!
Guys: Yeah!
Komatsu: .............
Now that I think about it, Ume-chan...
I wonder if he's doing ok?
Ootake: Hm?
Who?
Komatsu: Ume-chan.
Remember, the three of us always used to be together.
We were three best friends.

Page 19:
Ootake: ...Ah.
I guess there was an Ume-chan.
I totally forgot.
Guy: Owner! I can see some people from the media!
Ootake: Ah, got it. I'll be right there.
Komatsu: !
Ootake: Sorry, but I've gotta go do an interview for a magazine.
Getting into the ranking makes you busy.
Ah, oh yeah.
Komacchan, you came all this way,
won't you have some of my cooking?
Komatsu: Eh?
