Komatsu: WAAA Amazing! So this is "Gourmet Casino"!!? ["WAAA Amazing!" big.]
What a splendorous city!
And it's so huge!!
SFX: WAI WAI
Toriko: Yes, of the million "Gourmet Gambling Establishments" all over the world, this place, "Gourmet Casino", boasts the largest size and ability to attract customers.
For a casino that handles illegal ingredients, it has an unthinkably huge scale.
Coco: In the city, there are top-level 10-star hotels and restaurants lined up side by side.
Right now, this place is Jidar Kingdom's greatest draw for tourism.
Komatsu: HUWaA it's true! [heart]
Sign: Washoi Steak
Komatsu: It's paced with top-class restaurants that you don't even see often in "Gourmet Town"!
The poor public order gave such a bad impression, but now Jidar Kingdom looks like a paradise~~
Toriko: That's quite a face you're makin' Komatsu...
(On Page): That face has gotta be illegal.

Someone: Thieeef!!
Komatsu: Eh?
Guy: Someone stop him!!
My mone~~~y!!
Komatsu: Geh.
SFX: KYAAA
Komatsu: ...I guess even in the city, the public order is bad...
Toriko: Well it's a lawless area after all.
Of course there'd be a lot of crimes aimed against casino customers.
People: That thief-----
Komatsu: !
Guys: Do you think he'll get away?
Or you think he'll be caught...?
Hohhohho, no way he'll get away.
Let's bet on it.
I'll go with "gets caught".
And I'll go for the long shot, "gets away".
Hohhoh. Curious, are you? Whoever wins gets 1 million.
Komatsu: .............
Thief: Out of the way, asshole!!
Komatsu: !!
WAWAH
He's coming this way, Toriko-san.

Guy: ............
Recover it.
Dissect any organs that look like they could work with a "brain".
Then dispose of the rest.
Guys: Yes, sir.
Komatsu: ............
(On Page): He... He was shot...
Guys: hahhahha, he didn't "get away" or "get caught", he "got shot"!
Hohhohho. I guess we both lose. We underestimated "Gourmet Casino's" security.
Komatsu: S... Security...
In the whole country, only at the casino...?
They really have a brutal an unforgiving security imposed...
Coco: Normally in constitutional countries, crimes in gambling establishments are supervised by a group installed by the IGO, the "Gourmet Gamble Commission" or GGC.
But this place isn't managed by the GGC... Who controls things here are......
Match" Underground Cooking World".
Toriko: !

Page 6:
People: You're...
Match!!
Komatsu: Match-san!!
Toriko: Really?
I guess "Nerg City" isn't too far from the "Jidar Kingdom" after all.
Coco: Gourmet Yakuza?
Toriko: Yeah.
But these guys aren't in an extremist group. They're relatively decent guys.
Komatsu: It's been so long, Match-san!!
Match: Looks like you're doing well, Komatsu.
The Century Soup you made
was really popular with the village's kids. Thanks.
Komatsu: HAAH, thank you so much!!
I'll make it again any time, so I hope you'll bring them more!!

Page 7:
Match: Toriko and Coco... Are you two Heavenly Kings here to gamble?
Your goal's gotta be one of the "ingredient" prizes, right?
Toriko: Of course.
Match: Seeing as it's you guys... you've gotta be after a rare ingredient, right?
The kind you can only get if you can go to the private VIP area.
Toriko: Hm...?
VIP?
Ram: Boss!!
Match: !
Match: Ram!
How was it!?
Ram: As we thought, there are many circulating on the market!!
There were even many Jidar children showing symptoms of near poisoning!!
Match: ......Ah, like I thought...
Komatsu: ..........
Ma...Match-san... Just now... did he call you Boss...?
Weren’t you the Vice boss?

Page 8:
Match: The previous boss, Ryuu-san, quit...
So I'm the yakuza boss now.
Komatsu: Eh...?
Is that so...?
Toriko: He quit?
You guys' boss is well known man of true power... He always worked really hard on his duties.
Why'd he quit, and so suddenly?
Match: I dunno... He said he had some huge job, took a few management guys with him, and headed to "Gourmet World".
Apparently he was invited by the "Saiseiya", Yosaku... ["Saiseiya", Yosaku in white.]
He didn't tell me about his goal in detail...
Ryuu: Take care, Match...
I'm leaving our cute little sons and the kids in Nerg City to you.

Page 9:
Match: Saying only that,
the boss left.
And as he went, that back...
gave off the aura that he would never be coming back...
Toriko: ......Invited...
by Saiseiya Yosaku...?
Match: Well... anyhow, as boss of the Gourmet Yakuza
I'm now in the position to take control of "Nerg City".
Coco: So what would a Yakuza boss......
want with some other place like Jidar.
Match: ............
There are narcotic ingredients on the market----
They're illegal ingredients with strong poison we've never seen in "Nerg City" before.
And the source of them is...

Page 10:
Match: "The Underground Cooking World"-----!!
An "underground organization" that specializes in handling illegal cooking that doesn't appear in normal stores...!!
They scatter illegal foods and narcotic ingredients we've like nothing we've ever seen before.
And their location is none other than...
here, "Gourmet Casino"!!
"Gourmet Casino" is managed by Jidar Kingdom's state management, but
the king entrusts the casino to the underground society.
In other words, the ones really pulling the strings here are the "Underground Cooking World"... And those guys...

Page 11:
Match: the Underground Cooking World Boss "Livebearer"!! ["Livebearer" in white]
he's a dark chef that currently works as a dealer in the casino.
We came here to take those narcotic ingredients they're currently controlling...!!
We're not letting any more dirty poison flow into our town!!
SFX: CHAKI
Komatsu: ................
Match-san, so then...
Coco: Impossible.
Komatsu: !
Coco-san...!?
Coco: Sorry, boss-san... But with your current true power...
you don't stand a chance against that organization...
Shin: What did you...!?
Match: Heavenly King Coco...
Why do you say that?
Coco: I'm a "fortune teller"... If there's a possible way for you to win, then it isn't by force...

Page 12:
Coco: It's only by "gambling"------!! ["Gambling" in white.]
Match: -----!!
SFX: PON
Toriko: Well... That's how it is.
Wanna come with us?
Match: Toriko...?
Toriko: The ingredient we're going for is in the casino.
So while we're at it, let's win it all hands down and go home with all the illegal ingredient prizes!!
Match: ................
Komatsu: L... Let's go, Match-san!!
Together!!
