Someone: The Black
Triangle?
Insert: And they're off, riding through the skies on their Turtloon~~!!
Title: Gourmet 325 Furious Direct Hit!!
Kuri: Yup.
It's thuh region 'a the ocean in thuh center of 'Area 6'.
So this region on the 'Real Globe'...? [quote white]
Author: Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

Page 2:
Kuri: It's thuh dark waters that swallow everything, thuh "Black Triangle". [quote white]
It's said that once a meteorite the size 'a thuh moon dropped intuh that black sea and just disappeared.
Nobody knows whut happened...
It's probably in one 'a the 10 darkest regions in all 'a "Gourmet World".
Toriko: A meteorite the size of the moon, without a sound...?!
Coco: There are a few regions of like the "Bermuda Triangle" in Human World where boats and planes go missing, but... [quote white]
none of them are nearly as enigmatic...
Kuri: And said to be calmly swimmin' through that black sea
is Fish Treasure 'Another'!!

Page 3:
Kuri: In thuh wake of 'Another'
there's an incredibly beautiful "Stardust River" [quote white]
that flows through that pitch-black world.
Toriko: But of course, we don't know where in that region 'Another' is passing through, right?
Kuri: Yup.
Though depending on the season, there are many "Stardust Rivers" visible.
But most of them belong to Another's 'children'.
Tori: Children?!
Kuri: Thuh habitat of the parent 'Another'
and the one place it shows itself every 100 years is thuh center of thuh "Black Triangle'/
Tha's where we'll capture 'Another'!!

Page 4:
Coco: I see... So it's a question of how we capture that region of the sea...?
Sun: First off, what route, land sea or air, do we take to get to that region?
Ah, I guess there ain't any land. So sea or air...
Kuri: We probably can't by air.
Ai: Hm? Really?
May I interject?
Could I have one drop of 'Pair'?
Just a drop is fine.
Toriko: What're you gonna do, Aimaru?
Ai: This is a 'Real Globe' developed by the IGO.
It reproduce terrain in detail based on images captured by satellite.
But it's not just terrain. It's also equipped with gravitational devices.
Live: This globe looks to be at about a 1 to 150 million scale.
Ai: Of course, there are many places in "Gourmet World" that satellites can't capture, but...
first let me try...
placing a drop of Pair in the center, here.
SFX: DRIP

Ai: Right now, where we are currently located...
"Gourmet Slime Mold"----
SFX: JIWA
SFX: BUWAAA
Guys: ----What's that?!
It's bacteria!!
Slime mold!!
Coco: They're amoeba-like protozoa...
I've heard of them.
I believe they are able to efficiently find the optimal route from food source to food source in complicated mazes.
Ai: "Gourmet Slime Mold" is an organism that only reacts to delicious gourmet ingredients. [quote white]
The tastier its prey is, the more optimal a path it will take.
And any route shown on this map
will be highly compatible with one in the real world.

Page 6:
Ai: So the optimal route to 'Another' is...
this, is it-----?!
Sun: Seriously?!
Toriko: That's really awesome if you're right, Aimaru!!
Sun: We could use this to find routes to other items in the Full Course if we know a lot about where it is, right?
Ai: Yes! If we know where to look.
Live: The ability to control bacteria, eh? What an odd ability~~~
I'll bet that comes in handy for preserving ingredients.
A very appropriate ability for the group that advocates a simple diet, the Gourmet Knights.
Ai: There are some bacteria that affect the brain of other organisms.
Certain species of fungus that have the ability to invade the heads of ants, take over their minds, and control them...
But there actually exist "dark techniques" that use them to cook. [quote white]

Page 7:
Yuda: ------!!
What?!
A "dark technique" that utilizes bacteria...?! [quote white]
Ai: I learned about them just before the fest
because Pukin-san brought him along to see me. ["him" in italics.]
Toriko: ......Him?
Chiyo: Th...
That "Dark Technique"...
It can't be......
The one who used it was...
Ai: ----That's right.
Someone: Th... There are tornadooooes!!!
Guys: !

Page 8-9:
Guys: WH...
WHAAAAAT?!!
SFX: GOOOOOOO
TOriko: Th...
They're huge!!
Sun: And, uh, are these tornadoes going sideways?!!
Koma: No, they're just moving at insane trajectories!!
Kuri: "Mother Tornadoes"!!
The footprints left behind by 'Area 4's' Mother Snake of the "Eight Kings" when it passed through here long ago...
are the paths of these tornadoes!!
Someone: A Mother Snake?!
It made things like this just by passing through?!
There are rumors that at that these tornadoes arose from a fight between it and the member of thuh "Eight Kings" from here, 'Area 6', but...
anyhow, thuh strength of these tornadoes on this path haven't weakened since ancient times!!
It's a region of Gourmet World's skies you can't enter!!
SFX: OOOO
Guys: So that's why you said we couldn't go by air...?
If we get sucked into one of those, we'll die.
Drop altitude, Turtloon!!
We'll go by sea!!
SFX: OOOO BUA

Page 10-11:
Toriko: -----!!
Huh...?!
What?!
What the heeeeell?!! The sea heeeere!!!
Th... The land masses are moving at high speed!!!
SFX: OOOOA ZABUAA
Guys: Those're thuh famous "Conveyor Belt Islands" of 'Area 6'!!
Islands that're pushed around and around by powerful sea currents!!
Thuh famed "Cray Merry-Go-Land"!! [quote white]
Let's carefully land on one of these islands!!
SFX: GOOOO
Guys: Can we even do that?!
If we don't, we'll die!!
We really don't want the Turtloon to fall into the water before entering "Diving Mode"!! [quote bold]
SFX: OOOO
SFX: GUGU... GUGUGUUUU...
Toriko: Oh!!
What?!
The conveyor belt island stopped!!
