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

Everything will change, and fate will take a completely different turn.

...............

Thus, after Link took out these many "tasting spoons".

Toriko was also easygoing and accepted quite a few of them.

He could say he had experienced firsthand Link's reputation as a "prop master".

What followed was much simpler.

Komatsu and the others quickly learned to use these "tasting spoons" to collect mangoes, papayas, star anise from the octopus-shaped food, and aged sake from the hot springs, all from the corresponding pictures.

As for where some of the unfamiliar images came from...

Others may not have seen it, but Link has!

With the help of the beret brush, you can easily draw them.

If he could, Link could even just draw "GOD," that big frog!

After gathering all the ingredients needed to treat Zephyr's Deep Sea Syndrome.

After careful cooking by Komatsu, Sanji, and others, the dish, which perfectly combined the four ingredients, was served to Zephyr.

It wasn't just Zefa; because there was so much of it, everyone received multiple portions.

There, they feasted on the unique delicacies from the world of "Gourmet Hunter".

It happened very quickly, almost immediately.

After Zefa ate the dish made with the four ingredients, the crimson color on his body instantly disappeared.

Soon, the even breathing sounded again.

There was no further abnormality in his body.

"It's completely fine now!!!"

After Chopper and Law conducted another diagnosis, he happily replied to Aokiji, who was eating his meal with a plate in both hands.

"That's good……"

With his mouth full of delicious food, Aokiji let out a sigh of relief and nodded vaguely.

Thus, his primary purpose in coming here can be considered to have been completely achieved.

Not only Aokiji, but also the Mink Tribe and Kin'emon on the Sunny Merry were all free of any problems.

As for the other group...

"I'm full! I'm so full!!"

Toriko patted his big belly, a very satisfied smile on his face.

His initial goal was simply to catch spring sharks during their spawning season.

Then they met Luffy, and arrived at the Tower of Flowers, where they ate the Seafood Fruit and the Ginseng Fruit.

Then we sampled flavorful ingredients from all four seasons~

This trip was completed to an exceptionally high standard.

It could be said that it made him extremely satisfied.

especially……

He glanced at the sample spoons he had specially taken out to hold in a small backpack, and then slowly shifted his gaze over them.

"It seems..."

Toriko struggled to her feet, supporting her pregnant belly. "It's time to say goodbye~"

I've eaten everything I wanted, taken everything I wanted, and made all the friends I wanted.

It really is time to say goodbye.

After all, Luffy has to continue his journey, and Toriko also has his own adventure.

If two people have different goals, then it is destined that they cannot cooperate for a long time.

In the end, all good things must come to an end.

~~~~~~~~~

[This collaboration has now come to an end; we'll officially return to the main storyline starting tomorrow!]

538 Aokiji left on the Straw Hat Ship!! Collaboration ended! [Food Street Glasses]!!

"Are you leaving, Toriko?!"

Upon hearing that Toriko and the others had submitted their resignations, Luffy and the others also took notice.

"Ah, I still want to continue pursuing the full menu of my life."

This has always been Toriko's pursuit, and it's also his dream.

Every food hunter will hang up their desired ingredients as a "complete menu of life" – both their goals and their ideals.

The ingredients on the list are basically based on the hunter's own hunting experience and adventures. Each gourmet hunter regards completing their own "life menu" as their life's goal.

In some cases, you can even tell a gourmet hunter's skill level just by looking at the capture level of the ingredients listed on the list.

The complete menu of life is divided into eight categories.

The dishes are appetizer, soup, fish, meat, main course, salad, dessert, and beverage.

Aside from setting GOD as his main course early on, Toriko's other life menus consist of finding suitable ingredients for him during his adventures.

Sometimes, food hunters search for their prey, but aren't those prey also searching for their destined eaters?

"Oh, I see. I understand."

Luffy seemed to understand, nodding as he did so.

Anyway, I've experienced this kind of separation before, in fact, many times.

It's nothing more than meeting like-minded friends on an adventurous journey.

In the far distance ahead, there may be many more unknown and desirable creatures waiting for them.

After all, anything can happen on this vast ocean.

For example, a certain clown-like boss who basically won by doing nothing, using the "Thousand Taels of Dao Transformation" skill, somehow managed to become one of the Four Emperors of the Sea... Can you believe it?

Thus, after Toriko and the others were ready, they officially prepared to leave.

Goodbye, everyone!!!

Toriko, carrying a backpack full of seafood, fruits, and other ingredients, as well as a "tasting spoon" prop, stood on the transport ship, waving to everyone.

Well, since they've met Luffy and his crew, Link gave this decent transport ship to Toriko.

Of course, in addition to the ship, Link also gave him a very special item.

"【Food Street Glasses】?!"

As Komatsu waved goodbye, he glanced at the peculiar red glasses in his pocket.

It has red eyeglass frames, but the temples on the left and right sides are made up of the shapes of knives and forks.

Prop: [Food Street Glasses]

Description: After wearing these glasses, you can see the food in front of you as your favorite food, and even the taste will change.

This is for astronauts in the 22nd century.

Working and surviving in the space environment, the food needed to replenish energy is naturally very monotonous, unlike the food that can be cooked.

Therefore, these glasses help them satisfy their appetites while replenishing their energy.

In terms of taste, it can completely simulate the various ingredients they used to eat.

This has many uses. For example, when Komatsu tasted the last drop of the century's soup in the Ice Hell, he remembered its taste and then reproduced it.

If you have this kind of tool, you can relive that taste many times, making it faster and easier to make.

This is also a very valuable tool for chefs, as it plays a significant role in both their research on cooking and their efforts to recreate and reproduce dishes.

Of course, Toriko and the others can also use it to change things up.

However, upgrading one's own culinary skills is impossible, since substitutes are not the real thing and do not possess the abundant culinary energy of the real product.

They just managed to make it taste exactly the same.

However, Toriko and Komatsu were surprised and repeatedly declined the item after learning its function.

But in the end, Link, who had absolutely no need for such a prop, stuffed it into their arms, and that was the end of it.

They kept remarking that they had truly made a group of like-minded friends and partners.

"Everyone, I will remember you all well!!"

On the open sea, the transport ship and the Sonny Merry were traveling in opposite directions.

Toriko and the others stood on the deck of the transport ship, waving their arms incessantly.

Goodbye!

Luffy, beaming with joy, bid farewell to Toriko, saying, "Next time we meet, I'm definitely going to sample your entire 'life' menu!!!"

"Ah, I'll definitely treat you all well then!!"

The parting between men on the high seas needs no sorrow or tears...

Yes, these words came from the mouth of Mr. Franky, the shipwright, a true man with tears streaming down his face.

Goodbye, everyone!!

As everyone waved and hoisted the sails, a cloud of mist suddenly appeared around the transport ship, completely obscuring it.

They eventually disappeared into the sea, and then vanished completely.

They vanished from the world as if without a sound.

With this, the collaboration between the Straw Hat Pirates, or rather, the One Piece world, and the Toriko world has come to a complete end.

Whether there will be another collaboration, and when it will happen, is something for the future to see.

"Alright, so what's next..."

After saying goodbye to Toriko and his crew, Luffy and the others turned their attention back to the ship.

To be precise, it was those passengers on the ship who felt somewhat 'redundant'.

"So, what's next for you?"

Luffy tilted his head and looked at Aokiji, and beside him, Zephyr, who had slowly woken up, regained consciousness, and started to get up.

"Isn't it time to leave?"

"That's right, that's right!!"

Nami and Chopper, feeling quite insecure, stood beside Link, trying to bolster his confidence.

"Even though you've all left the Navy, what's the point of being on a pirate ship now?!"

·· ·····Requesting flowers· ······

They couldn't wait for Aokiji to leave, as his presence was putting some pressure on them.

And it wasn't just Aokiji; they also learned from Usopp that the robust, purple-haired old man who slowly rose was a former Marine Admiral!

And he's also Aokiji's teacher, [Black Arm] Zephyr!!

Such a title is truly frightening and makes people tremble.

"Oh dear, whether or not Professor Zephyr leaves this place is his own business; I can't control his decision~"

Aokiji slowly exhaled a breath of cold air and whispered.

"But right now, I can't leave."

"?????"

Chopper and Nami were both shocked. "You're not kidding, are you?!"

"Do not……"
