Toriko RP. The Adventures of the Heavenly Kings IC 1!

"Someone once said... that there are beasts covered all over their body with juicy meat that melts as soon as it reaches your tongue..."

"That there are Omar Lobsters full of meat.... and King Crab packed with flesh growing out of a tree..."

"That there are amber-colored high quality and mellow brandy... flowing eternally out of a spring."

"Men are fascinated by the unknown and yet appetizing taste..."

"The Era is the Gourmet Age"

"The era of discovery of unknown tastes."

Year 1, January

For the last 10 years, Ichiryuu has raised you as his own children, while teaching you the skills necessary to be successful bishoku-ya and implanting you with Gourmet Cells, granting you superhuman abilities.

"Right this way sir." an IGO representative gestures as the four of you head toward Uumen Umeda's office and open the door.

"Ahhh there you are." Uumen says, turning around in his chair. "The President is very pleased with your progress, and we have something that we need you to do."

"Thank you Uumen-san," Caellach replied giving a polite bow and smile to Uumen. "what is it that you want us to do?"

"*mumble**mumble**mumble* will there be wolves?"

Uumen pushes up his glasses and scratches his forehead before leaning back.

"Some fishing towns near here have asked for our help with a pack of Ludroth that have been attacking their fishing boats and stealing their catch and sometimes even eating the men. Now as you well know it takes on average 10 skilled men with rifles to take down a capture level 1. IGO has deemed these creatures to be capture level 3, which explains why the local security forces were ineffective. But for Bishoku-ya with talents such as you four, creatures with capture levels of 3 should not be much trouble."

''Huuuuuuuuuuuuuoooouuuaaaaaaahaaa'' Came Lurian's response as he scratched his head tiredly. ''Ah, sorry about that. Anyways, what's the job and will there be food?''

"*mumble* many are suspected *mumble* attacking *mumble* *mumble* village"

"Ludroth huh? Hmph! Their meat aren't very tasty but I hear their eggs are pretty good." Adel smiled and hit his chest, making his large belly jiggle, "Alright! I'm hungry for some Ludroth!"

''Alright, so the job is to help that village by killing these things right? I can get behind that. One question though. Can we keep them to ourselves?''

Uumen nods in affirmation.

"Yes, a simple extermination. Anything you find will be yours. We've got a boat that will take you there tomorrow. When the clients report to us that you've finished you'll get your payment."

Caellach lets out a sigh, his brows crunch up as he fights off rubbing the bridge of his nose at his fellow kings antics. "I think we can handle it Uumen-san, do you have any more information that you think could help us before we head out?"

Zero grumbles. "Ive got to stock up on pepper then."

Uumen shrugs.

"Just don't get careless and fight too many of them in the water. The boat will be here in a few hours in case you have something you need to get. Meet the boatman at the port. I think his name is Tom. Anyway we are finished here gentlemen. I wish you food luck."

Zero shuffles off to the igo store room

''Right, I just need a pillow, a sleeping bag and a bunch of tomatoes for snacking. To the place where all the goodies are stored!''

"Ahahaha! Well, then. I better stock up on some meat then!" Adel cried heartily before heading off to fill up a bag with plenty of meat.

"Thank you Uumen-San" Ceallach gives a polite bow before heading out to gather his supplies. It was time to go fishing, he might break out his fishing rod.

The four of you "borrow" some food, utensils and tools from the kitchen and supply room and head to the docks in the afternoon. A short time after you arrive, a white powerboat pulls up to the dock and a dark skinned man wearing white pants and a white shirt steps onto the pier. He looks around for a moment before seeing the four of you sitting together and approaches.

"Are you the bishoku-ya I've been hired to transport?" he asks.

Zero walks up brandishing the igo logo on his backpack. "*grumble* suppose so"
"Ive heard of you tom *grumble* *grumble* pretty good sailor"

"Hahaha! Yep! That's us! Off on a ludroth hunt!" Adel cried out, hefting his large bag full of meat over his shoulder. "So how long will it take to get there?"

Caellech gives a polite smile, standing up he opens his mouth to reply, only for two of his partners beat him to the punch. His eye brow tweeks in contained annoyance before replying "Yes, as my partners said I believe we are the bishoku-ya you are looking for, I am Caellach."

Tom shakes Caellach's hand before looking at his watch.

"Yeah, I'm Tom. Usually work at the World Kitchen, but occasionally I'll get requests from bishoku-ya for transport. We'll be out at sea for just about an hour, but I'll be dropping ya off a little while off from the village since it ain't safe. When ya clear it though, I'll come pick you up."

Zero nods and with one stride boards the boat before finding a nice nook to settle in

"That is probably for the best," Caellach nods in understanding, it wouldn't be a good idea to take the ship into infested waters. "I believe we are all ready to set sail once we are all aboard." Caellach boards the vessel shortly after Zero.

The four of you step onto Tom's boat and head off toward the target destination. Tom explains on the way that he buys materials from bishoku-ya and sells them to customers at the World Kitchen.

"From what I know, Ludroth are not usually this aggressive toward humans." Tom explains.

"What might be going on here, is that the pride has been taken over by a new male. A Royal Ludroth. The new male's probably seeing the fishermen as competition and is directing these attacks to eliminate them."

"A royal ludroth? Hmm, never ate a royal before. Think it will taste good?" Adel mused, in between mouthful of meat that he was pulling out from his bag. "Say, are their sponges edible? i can't remember."
