The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

Then I saw that the sky was bright and cloudless.

"That's around sunrise the next day?"

Chopper blinked and thought for a moment before speaking.

"So, how can this disease be completely eradicated?"

Aokiji exhaled a chilling breath and asked in a low voice, "Can using cold air and ice help cool down 25?"

As he spoke, he slowly raised his arm, and layers of ice gradually appeared on it.

Clearly, he intended to use physical methods to cool down Zephyr first.

"Wait a minute~"

Coco, who was standing nearby, stopped him, saying, "External cooling methods alone cannot cure his illness."

He held up four fingers, "It requires ingredients from all four seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—combined with seafood and fruits, to completely cure his illness."

Moreover, if it's a representative spring ingredient like mango and papaya, it can completely cure deep-sea diseases.

The so-called mango papaya is actually papaya blossom, which is as sweet as a mango and a pudding!

Toriko was already drooling as he listened, like a waterfall.

"But there are only a dozen or so hours before sunrise. Where are we going to find so many ingredients?!"

Komatsu scratched his head, looking somewhat troubled, "Especially since mangoes and papayas are such picky and special ingredients..."

If I'm not mistaken...

Coco's gaze shifted slightly upwards, looking towards the tower in the Hua Island.

"Since that island has seafood fruits and is famous for its medicinal cuisine, then..."

He said with absolute certainty, "There must be many seasonal ingredients on the island."

"That's right!!"

Sani quickly added.

"It is said that on this island lives a legendary, magnificent mythical beast with eight horns, the Octagonal Beast!!"

His eyes gradually filled with longing and yearning for beauty.

"That's exactly why I came here!!!"

This was his real reason for coming here with Coco and Rin: he wanted to see for himself what this stunning mythical beast looked like.

However~~~

"It should look like this."

Using his own drawing tools and drawing from his own impressions, Link drew the so-called exquisite appearance of the eight-horned beast.

After showing it to everyone.

"This is the magnificent mythical beast?!"

After looking at the eight-horned beast with purple fur, a pig's nose, and eight horns on its head in the picture, a group of people all expressed doubts about Sani's aesthetic sense.

"how come……"

Sani, who had been full of anticipation, unconsciously rubbed his eyes.

After he confirmed that he wasn't seeing things...

"Hey, hey, hey, is that really an octagonal beast?!"

Sani's background wall was covered with dark black lines, and he staggered back two steps.

He felt as if he had swallowed a fly.

"Well, logically speaking, besides the fact that it has eight corners..."

Coco pondered for a moment, "It seems to correspond to the meaning of the seasonings 'cinnamon' and 'star anise' in Chinese cuisine."

In other words, this octagonal beast does not actually have eight horns, but rather is a ferocious beast that uses star anise as a seasoning.

"how come……"

Sani, his body covered in ashen white, knelt down to one side.

"I was really looking forward to it..."

A beautiful man who is weak, powerless, and quietly sorrowful.

The others ignored him and instead began to examine the remaining three ingredients.

In addition to the octagonal beast, which represents autumn ingredients, there is also fermented bean paste made from fermented bean tiger, a summer ingredient; aged wine produced from the aged wine hot spring, a winter ingredient; and mango and papaya, spring ingredients.

These are all very difficult to obtain, not only because they are hard to acquire, but also because their existence is difficult to discover.

However, since it is on this island of Chinese cuisine, there must be corresponding ingredients available.

Just as everyone was planning to head to the island again...

"No need for that trouble~"

Link smiled and waved his hand, then took out something—a seemingly ordinary, unremarkable spoon.

"You should have photos of these corresponding ingredients where you are, right?"

Link looked at Komatsu, who was staring at the spoon in his hand with curiosity.

"Yes, IGO has a digital food guide specifically for us chefs..."

Komatsu quickly took out a red device from his pocket, which looked like a Pokédex from Pokémon.

IGO is the official food organization in Toriko, providing chefs and food hunters with various hunting conveniences.

This kind of illustrated guide is just a small matter.

Beep beep~

Soon, after Xiaosong made a couple of operations, the image of Douban Tiger appeared on the encyclopedia, along with a series of corresponding information.

"Is this alright... Mr. Link??"

As Komatsu said this, he saw Link use that ordinary-looking spoon to gently dig into his encyclopedia.

The spoon should have made a crisp sound after touching the screen of the encyclopedia and then been blocked.

But~~~

Under the stunned and shocked gazes of everyone, the spoon in Link's hand seemed to disappear into the soup as easily as if it were submerged in it.

Xiaosong: "..."

Toriko: "???"

Coco: "!~~"

Sani: "ε=(′ο｀*)))!!"

Rin: "Aru?(^_-)"

Only the Straw Hat Pirates have almost gotten used to it.

Although they also showed some surprise, they were much calmer than Toriko and the others.

Of course, 933 doesn't include the two individuals mentioned.

"Oh my god, is it one of those weird gadgets again?!"

Aokiji unconsciously craned his neck; being able to watch Link use the gadgets up close was truly a rare and wonderful thing.

"You can submerge the spoon inside the machine?!"

Jinbe watched in amazement from the sidelines.

He knew a lot about Link and that he possessed many amazing gadgets.

But knowing is one thing, seeing is believing. It was a rare opportunity to witness Link demonstrate the effects of his gadgets in person, which was quite an experience.

boo~

With a ripple of water, Link gently took the spoon out of the screen.

And in that spoon was a perfectly full spoonful of deep red fermented soybean paste.

A rich, salty aroma wafted in the air!

"this is……"

Komatsu's large nostrils twitched slightly as he quickly recovered from his initial shock.

"Douban Tiger with Doubanjiang (fermented broad bean paste) on its body?!"

He stared in disbelief at the fermented soybean paste in Link's hand, his mouth agape, his face filled with shock.

"That's right, these are the ingredients obtained from Douban Tiger~"

Link smiled and held the [Taste Tasting Spoon] in front of him.

Just now, I placed this peculiar prop spoon on the picture of Douban Tiger, which then inserted it into the machine and removed the Douban sauce from its body.

~~~~~~~~~

[Thank you so much to the generous donor 'Once Upon a Time There Was a Eunuch' for the incredible generosity! I am truly grateful!]

536 [Taste-Testing Spoon]!! A tool powerful enough to change the culinary world!!

Props: [Taste tasting spoon], also known as [tasting spoon].

Description: This special spoon can be used to scoop out the food shown in the picture. Each picture can only be used once.

This spoon prop is a godsend for foodies!!

To enjoy any delicious food, all you need is a spoon and a photo.

As for the photo, it can only be used once.

Why don't you just make many copies of this photo?

In fact, you could easily change the angle of the picture in the illustration provided by IGO and it would become a completely new photo.

"So, with just this spoon, we can easily get the ingredients we want."

Link explained with a smile while instructing Xiaosong to switch the photos again.

Before long, with Xiaosong's subconscious listening and his shocked, numb face, Link quickly collected enough fermented soybean paste.

"Alright, next up is the sake from the Old Wine Hot Spring. This is actually a bit simpler."

Link has a [retractable container] in his hand, so even if he only scoops out some alcohol, he can still expand it to the amount they need.

"Wait, wait... wait a minute, Mr. Link?!"

When he saw that Link wanted him to change the food photos, Komatsu finally came to his senses.

He quickly waved his hand and stepped back to stop him, while staring intently at the spoon in Link's hand, as if he were looking at something extremely remarkable.

As a chef living in an era of culinary delights, he deeply understands the significance of a spoon that can extract ingredients from a photograph!

This is a tool powerful enough to change the culinary world!

For people living in an era that explores culinary delights, it is an extremely fortunate time, as there is an abundance of delicious food to taste and enjoy.

However, obtaining these delicacies is also very difficult.

Some delicacies are extremely difficult to obtain, requiring immense effort and resources to acquire.

For some ingredients that are extremely difficult to catch and also very special and difficult to process, obtaining them is even more challenging.

But once you have this little spoon, everything changes!

With just one photo, you can easily obtain ingredients that you would never normally dare to dream of.

You can easily obtain many ingredients that are extremely high-level, live in extremely harsh weather and climate environments, and require special techniques to process!

Going further, let's talk about those legendary, endangered, or even extinct ingredients~

They can all be brought back to life with just their photos and this little spoon!

The result of doing this might be that regenerators who are dedicated to reviving ingredients lose their jobs, but that's exactly what they want to see!

"A spoon like this..."
