Narration: The first step...
Title: Gourmet 279 A Guidepost!!
Side: A trackless path--- the moment of stepping towards the future----
SFX: PISHI

Page 4:
Narration: Within the darkness
invisible land is caught hold of
and footprints are carved into it----
Those footprints
range in the hundreds and thousands...
And before long, in this trackless space
a definite 'path' is illuminated. [quote white]

Page 5:
Narration: That is the path opened up by the chosen ones...
the 'track' to success---!

Page 6:
Narration: The dining table of nobles...
"Dining Planet"---
Joa: One cannot know the value of sound health
unless one becomes sick...

Page 7:
Joa: Only once they are gone
do humans first begin...
to appreciate trivial days...
Only when they stop walking...
do they realize the quantity... and value of what they have...
Ever the more so for the one who had everything, Acacia...
when he was jostled from his daily life that felt trivial...
Acacia did not lose something...
he accidentally learned something...

Page 8:
Joa: The quantity of the things he still did not possess----
the enormity of the things he had not yet seen----
Unknown tastes... smells... textures...
and his own still unawakened unsatisfied appetite----!!

Page 9:
Joa: What taught him that was "Food Luck"----!! [quote white]
The "answer" which Acacia sought!!
Nitro: You are the second human...
to carve the "path" to this location...
Joa...
Joa: The first person was my mother...
"Frohze", wasn't it...? [quote white]

Page 10:
Joa: I've been able to see this path since the beginning.
Though I suppose even our members waiting on the coast could not see it...
And I also suppose that this "power" of Food Luck... [quote white/bold]
will bloom with Acacia's 'Full Course', yes? ["Acacia's 'Full Course'" white/bold.]
Nitro: There is a "condition", but... ["a condition" white/bold]
it is the impetus that will cause it to bloom...
Joa: In that case, as I always suspected
I cannot hand it over to anyone else.
Acacia's "Full Course"...

Page 11:
Joa: Let us send out members.
There is no reason for you to go, yes...?
Please rest east
"Gourmet Nobles", the Blue Nitro... [Make this sentence white/bold, not the first one.]
the "ark" is...
already complete...

Page 12:
Shige: Oh.
I've gotten contact from Joa.
Everyone is to take their positions----
Finally...
Acacia's Full Course is
awakening...!!
SFX: GRN
Kousai: Still, it is strange, isn't it...?
The moment Joa walked on this space where nothing had been before...
this 'path' formed...
Uumen: No...
it was there from the beginning.
Joa was able to see it...
Ume: ..........

Page 13:
Someone: the 'route' to
the "correct answer"----!!
Ume: ..........
SFX: GOPO GOPO

SFX: GOPOPOPO
Sani: Ah, look!!
Toriko: I can see something that looks like it could be the surface up there!!
Somebody: You're right!!
Is that the exit?!!
Hurryyyy!!
Mappy: C... Could it...
really be...?

Page 15:
SFX: DOPON
Guys: !!

Page 16:
Guys: We're ooooout!!!
We made it through the Golden Swamp!!! ["Golden Swamp" gold]
SFX: WAH
Toriko: You did it, Komatsu!!
Komatsu: I'b zo glaa~~d!
Sani: I knew your Food Luck was the real deal!!
Mappy: !
Guy: We may have gotten lucky and entered a "Gourmet Highway"... [quote white]
but without exceptional "Food Luck"---- there's no way you can just coincidentally end up on a "Gourmet Highwaaaay"----
Huh?
I guess he really...
could see iiit...!!
He could see the 'path' to escaping the Golden Swamp plain as a day...!! [quote white]

Page 17:
Mappy: But who knows just how
conscious of it he waaaas...
Sani: And look what we ended up with!!
All these treasure chests were in the swamp's hidden rooms!!
Komatsu: Uwaaa!! Amazing!!
You think they're ingredients?
Hm? What's this tin can...?
WAAAAAH!!!
A giaaant drop just fell on uuuuuuuus!!
What the hell is that?!
SFX: DOBASHA

Page 18:
Mappy: It's this area's gigantic rain nicknamed "Megaraiiin"!
Every kind of rain falls on the main Island of 'Area 8', ya knooow! [quote white]
Toriko: Oh, Mappy, your body's back to normal, huh?!
Handwritten: The hell sorta body structure have you got?
Coco: We should be fine against ordinary rain.
Toriko: Yeah. And Octo-chan should feel refreshed from bathing in some cold water.
Komatsu: Let's go wash off our sweat, too!
How about it, Mappy-san?!!
Mappy: Gero [Hear]
I couldn't agree mooore!

Page 19:
Komatsu: Uwaa! What an odd rain this is, isn't iiiit?
In Bubble: They look like human souls
Mappy: This is the rain of souls, "Amedama", ya knooow!
Komatsu: YWAA! An eyeball showed up!!
Handwritten: GIEEE
Mappy: Oooh. A "Medama"!!
I'll bet it came from the village to greet uuuus!
Komatsu: Huh?
SFX: GYORORI
T/N: Amedama is a homophone for "candy balls". Medama means "eyeball" but it's spelled with the kanji for "eye soul".
Mappy: Hey, it's finally in siiiight!

Toriko: Ooh!
