Toriko: Gourmet Chat Group

Chapter 36: Sunny

"By the way, Chief, the Regal Mammoth hasn't been snatched up by someone else already, has it?" Toriko suddenly slammed his hands on the table and stood up. Members of the Gourmet Corp might have already infiltrated the island while they were leisurely eating. Had the Jewel Meat already been taken?

They had wasted some time at the Gourmet Colosseum, and then more time eating. He didn't want to end up empty-handed, having captured nothing.

"Don't worry. My brother just contacted me. He happened to capture a Regal Mammoth on his way here," Rin said, licking an ice cream cone with a smile.

"Sunny is here too?" Toriko was surprised. He hadn't heard that Sunny was coming.

"Oh? Sunny is actually being reliable for once," Mansam said, equally surprised.

"Chief Mansam, I think you're celebrating too early," Kenji said, ready to pour some cold water on their excitement.

Mansam looked at him, confused.

"Toriko, Sunny's strength is about the same as yours, right?" Kenji asked.

Toriko nodded. Even if there was a gap in strength between the Four Heavenly Kings, it wasn't a huge one.

"Then, Toriko, can you currently lift a Regal Mammoth the size of a mountain?"

"No way," Toriko shook his head. He was well aware of his own limitations.

"So the one Sunny brought is probably a baby mammoth. Jewel Meat is usually only found in adult Regal Mammoths," Kenji explained.

The data in the manga's official guide was just too exaggerated. Did the author just pull those numbers out of thin air? A body length of 1500m, a height of 1000m, and a weight of 50 million tons... Kenji didn't think the Regal Mammoth in the biotope was that ridiculously huge. Even if such a creature existed, it was probably in the Gourmet World.

There was a 3000m vertical drop between the Regal Wall and the ground. If the Regal Mammoth was 1000m tall, it would be at least one-third the height of the wall. The manga never depicted that kind of scale.

"Let's go greet Sunny first. He definitely caught the wrong one."

Mansam also realized that with Sunny's current strength, he couldn't possibly move an adult Regal Mammoth. The one he had caught had to be a youngling.

"He's here!" Rin put down her binoculars and shouted to the others, who were still feasting.

On the crest of a distant slope, a giant figure gradually appeared. It was reddish-brown with tiger stripes, had six short, stout legs, and two long trunks.

Holding it up was a long-haired man. His colorful, lustrous hair cascaded down to his heels. With every step he took, a crater was left in the ground. The weight he was carrying was immense.

"It's huge! And that's just a juvenile Regal Mammoth?"

"Is that Mr. Sunny of the Four Heavenly Kings? Amazing! He can lift it with just one arm!"

Tina and the others couldn't believe their eyes. This was just a juvenile, yet it was larger than any beast she had ever recorded. What kind of behemoth would an adult Regal Mammoth be?

"It's not just one arm..." Mansam said slowly, chewing on a Drunken-Rage Bull steak.

"It's the Gang Hoods! They're trying to steal the Regal Mammoth!" Komatsu's eyes widened, and he shouted.

Swish!

The Gang Hoods that were pouncing on Sunny were instantly Knocked in mid-air and fell to the ground, unmoving.

"Catch!"

Sunny casually tossed the mountain-sized Regal Mammoth toward the group.

"Aaaah! Run!"

"Brother, you're so reckless!"

As the small mountain of a creature came crashing down, Komatsu and the others instinctively ran for their lives.

Mansam caught the Regal Mammoth with both hands, his body sinking into a deep horse stance, making him look a lot shorter.

"Sorry, was it a little heavy, Chief?" Sunny said with an apologetic tone, but his face showed no hint of remorse.

"A good catch. It seems your strength hasn't declined. But it wasn't beautiful enough."

Sunny covered half his face with his hand, critiquing Mansam's posture. "The way you caught the mammoth didn't stir the heart at all. It wasn't moving. And that bow-legged stance is just hideous. Not sexy at all. You might as well just die..."

Komatsu and Tina, who were meeting Sunny for the first time, were completely dumbfounded. This guy has a terrible personality.

Kenji shook his head. Besides Coco, who seems relatively normal, the other Four Heavenly Kings are all problem children. This Sunny was a bit of a narcissist, constantly talking about whether things were "beautiful" or not.

"You bastard, Sunny! Don't just throw an important Edible Treasure like that! You haven't changed a bit! You'll get what's coming to you!" Mansam roared.

"Chief, you should be thanking me for thoughtfully delivering it to you," Sunny said, floating up to them.

"Yo, Toriko. Long time no see. Your cell activity is much more active than before, and your muscle elasticity is high."

"Looks like you've been eating a lot of good food," Sunny said, a little surprised.

"Hey, hey! Don't just come over and touch someone's face! That's gross!" Toriko said, wiping his face with a look of disgust.

Rin glared at her brother. She felt a throbbing in her head. That arrogant brother of mine is so out of line. Who does he think he is, touching him like that?

"You dodged it? Who are you? The luster of your skin is quite good."

Sunny noticed Kenji. The feelers extending from the tips of his hair had been casually caught in Kenji's hand. These feelers were even finer than a strand of hair. Just being able to detect them was difficult enough, let alone catching them so easily with just two fingers like Kenji had.

"My name is Kenji. Nice to meet you, Heavenly King Sunny," Kenji said, releasing Sunny's feeler. He had no interest in being touched by another man.

"Ho? A powerful Gourmet Hunter I've never heard of," Sunny said, looking at Kenji with interest. With this kind of strength, his fame should be no less than that of the Four Heavenly Kings.

"He's a friend I just met. It's normal that you haven't heard of him," Toriko explained.

"I see. A friend of yours, Toriko. No wonder he's so strong."

Sunny nodded, then looked at the two Battle Wolves, mother and pup, who had also dodged his probing feelers.

"Battle Wolves? The kings of ancient times. What magnificent creatures," Sunny marveled. The Capture Level of the mother, Lotta, was definitely very high.

"The big one is Lotta, she's Kenji's. The small one is Terry, I'm raising him," Toriko said with a grin.

"And don't use your feelers on them. I remember it hurts a lot if they get torn off."

The feelers extending from Sunny's hair, while strong, had their limits. And unlike having a hair cut, which was painless, if one of his feelers broke, the pain was enough to make a normal person faint.

"Alright, I get it," Sunny nodded. Since Kenji could catch it, he could also break it. The pain of a broken feeler was not something he wanted to experience.
