What's going on?" Toriko said as he ran over to where the group had gathered.
BARK
"Terry says that Komatsu and Nami were kidnapped." Chopper informed him. "They were both here just a couple minutes ago."
"These tracks, and the sweet aroma." Toriko said as he looked mat the numerous imprints that were on the ground where the spilled spice seeds had fallen. "There's no doubt they were taken by the Cocoalas."
"Cocoalas?" Luffy asked
"I haven't seen any myself, but they're Capture Level 3. They're meat is inedible, but they have high quality cocoa beans growing on their backs." Toriko explained.
"So you're saying those things took him and Nami-swan." Sanji grumbled
"Most likely they're being taken to their nest."
"Why?" Chopper asked
"Cocoalas are omnivores, they take anything they can and store it in their home. If I remember correctly they make their nests in the Multi-fruit trees." Toriko said and then started to follow the tracks that were left behind.
"Multi-fruit trees?" Yukiko asked as they ran.
"They're basically fruits that have the flavors of watermelon, apples, pears, strawberries, and other fruits rolled into one. Some people even call it the Fruit Parlor of the Earth. I can't wait to eat it!" Toriko smiled.
"Wait, you're more worried about food than your friend?!" Chopper yelled.
"So where do we find the trees?" Luffy asked.
"They only grow where the sunlight is most abundant." Toriko said as they stop at a cliff and beyond the horizon on top of a mountain, there were two massive cherry-like Fruit growing.
"No doubt, those are the Multi-fruits!" Toriko said.
"Hold on Nami-swan! We're coming!" Sanji yelled.
"Wait for me, Multi-fruits!" Toriko shouted as well.
"I can't help but feel sorry for Komatsu..." Yukiko and Chopper said.
"Pachirisu...." Pachi nodded.
------------
They then run through a forest to get the mountain as fast as possible. As they reached a clearing, geysers were around them.
"Oi! Watch out, you don't know when these geysers will erupt on you!" Toriko shouted at the group as they ran through the geyser valley.
"AHHH!" Chopper screeched in surprise as a geyser erupt right next to him. His eyes widened as the liquid splashed on him, "Hey, this is hot chocolate!"
"Really!" Luffy's eyes shined at the prospect of the sweet treat.
"Quit making your eyes sparkle and keep running!" Sanji yelled
"Don't get sidetracked, we have to stay focused." Yukiko reminded her boyfriend.
Suddenly the ground beneath them started to rumble.
"A big one's coming!" Toriko said just then a gigantic geyser of hot chocolate sent the group into the air and towards the river.
"Oh no, the river!" Luffy and Chopper yelled.
"What's the matter?" Toriko asked
"Devil Fruit users can't swim!" Yukiko said in a panic.
"What?!" Toriko yelled as the group fell into the river.
"I'm going to drown!" Chopper cried as he flailed in the river only to stop and see that his body wasn't drowning.
"This isn't water." Luffy said as he looked at the liquid.
"It's cream," Yukiko inspected, "It's an entire river of whipped cream! This is good, we can jump off when the river winds around the forest."
"Got it!" the rest of the group said as they jumped out of the river of whipped cream and onto land.
"This is good, we can get to the Multi-Fruit Tree by cutting through the forest." Toriko was cut-off when Terry started growling.
"What's wrong?" Chopper asked only to jump in surprise as he saw figures standing behind the trees.. "What're those?!" He yelled hiding behind Yukiko.
"A Caste Leo." Toriko said as he looked at the lion that had cake for their mane. "Their capture level 4 with castella cake for their manes."
"It's hard to take them seriously when they're growling, but they have fluffy cakes surrounding their head." Sanji muttered
"It doesn't matter, we're going to where Nami is, so don't get in our way!" Luffy ran towards the lion making him roar sending the rubber man back from the frequency.
"Luffy!/Pach!" Yukiko, Pachi and Chopper caught the straw hat man as they were thrown against a tree.
"What was that?"
"It must be the Castella sponge cake, it emits sound like a giant speaker." Yukiko told them.
"Then how're we supposed to beat them!?" Sanji asked.
"Draw his attacks straight ahead, and I'll deal with them." Toriko said. Sanji nodded and ran towards the lions distracting them from Toriko running towards their side.
"SAN REN KUGI PUNCH!" The attack hit the lion dead on sending it rolling into a tree.
"That's amazing!" Chopper and Luffy shouted with stars in their eyes.
"This is not time to be impressed, Caste Leos travel in prides," Toriko scowled as he saw that there were five other Caste Leos surrounding them. "I don't have time for this."
"This is bad, we can't waste our fighting these guys." Sanji said.
Suddenly......
"FRY GAESHI!" The five lions were hurled away from the group. The group looked up as they saw a multi-colored haired man float down to them.
"How do you think? Isn't this an exquisite way to appear?" The man said as he flipped his hair back in a dramatic manner.
"Sani! If you're here, then that means." Toriko said.
"POISON RIFLE!" A Caste Leo recoiled from attacking as a substance hit him in the face.
"ENDORPHIN SMOKE!" A gust of white smoke surrounded them making the growling of the Caste Leos disappear.
"It's quiet now," Chopper said
"Hey, Toriko." Coco said while Rin was standing beside him waving at Toriko
"Toriko! I'm so glad you're safe!" Rin squealed.
"~An angel fell from the sky!~" Sanji sang as hearts appeared in his eyes.
"Toriko! How could you leave me behind! You could have brought me along" Rin whined.
"By the way, Toriko," Coco looked at the pirates that were with them and back to Toriko. "Where's Komatsu?"
"He's been taken by the Cocoalas." Toriko said.
"They took one of our friends too!" Yukiko said as she had Sani notice her.
"Those eyes, that hair, the poise.....an epitome of beauty!" The man named Sani said as Luffy frowned.
But a growling interrupted them.
"Ah. We have no time for these guys." Yukiko said.
"Toriko, you go get Matsu, since you can smell where the Cocoalas are. We'll stay here and take care of the Caste Leos, and catch up with you later."
"Fine." Sani pouted.
"Thanks!" Luffy shouted as the group traveled through the woods to get to the mountain.
Before they got to the mountain top, they all stopped as they heard a scream.
"That sounds like NAMI-SWAN~" Sanji launched himself to the top to see the pack of Cocoalas and spotting Komatsu and Nami in the pouch of the muscular Koala that was hanging in the tree.
"Sanji!" Nami yelled
"Toriko-san!" Komatsu yelled.
"That Koala is larger than the others!" Yukiko yelled.
"That's a Knock-Out Koala, he must be their leader. I heard when Cocoalas reach adulthood they become Knock-Out Koalas, but I didn't know they grow this large." Toriko said as he looked at the creature that gave a mighty roar at seeing them.
"I see. Those Cocoalas had to get past the Caste Leos and those lions didn't eat them cause they were afraid of the leader." Yukiko said.
"So we have to beat these things to get to Nami-swan!" Sanji said, he then ran towards the Cocoalas only for them to dodge his kicks.
"Why are these guys so fast?" Sanji muttered.
"When they're in battle mode their capture level exceeds 3." Toriko explained as a Cocoala hurled itself at Sanji.
"That would be greater to know earlier." Yukiko said as Pachi used an Iron Tail.
"We can take care of this, Toriko, Yukiko, Luffy, get to Komatsu and Nami!" Chopper said.
Luffy then slingshot himself, Yukiko and Toriko over the Cocoalas and straight towards the Knock-Out Koala.
"Grimm, Shojo, Nectarine, Blaise, we'll need your help! Shojo, Nectarine, help Sanji and Chopper! Blaise, Grimm, you're with us!" Yukiko got her Pokémon out.
Before Toriko could land a hit, the Koala dodged and delivered a punch at Toriko knocking him to the ground. Luffy and Yukiko and her Pokémon tried to do the same thing, only to end up with the same result as Toriko.
"Luffy! Yukiko!" Nami yelled in concern
"Toriko-san," Komatsu yelled.
"Luffy, you okay?" Yukiko asked.
"Yeah."
"That creature moves faster than a regular Capture Level 5 beast," Toriko said as he saw the Koala swing itself around a tree and deliver a blow towards them making them jump back.
"Toriko-san!" Komatsu cried out in worry.
The Koala swung itself around a tree again to gain momentum to deliver a punch at Toriko only for him to catch the Koala's fist and push back.
"Now it's my turn!" Luffy ran and jumped towards the Koala. "GUM GUM-" before he could finish the Koala slapped him into the ground.
Meanwhile Toriko ran around the tree to aim an attack at its back only for the Koala to turn making Toriko halt as he didn't want to harm Komatsu or Nami. Making use in the Bishokuya's hesitance the Koala slammed Toriko into the tree.
"Oi! Using them as a shield is playing dirty!" Luffy yelled. The two fighters watched as the Koala started to swing itself around the tree a couple of times only for it to swing its arm at Toriko ripping his shirt to shreds and knocking Toriko into the ground.
"Toriko-san!" Komatsu cried as he saw him crash into the ground.
"I'm fine," Toriko said as he sat up, "That's the Multi-Fruit Tree for you, it's sturdy enough to support that Knock-Out Koala's weight, not to mention that recoil is a pain to deal with." He sighed as he gave a small grin at the Koala. "Shall we Luffy, Yukiko?" Luffy and Yukiko grinned and then nodded their heads. They all clapped their hands together.
"I give thanks to all of the ingredients of the world, ITADAKIMASU!" they shouted in unison.
"Hey, what are you guys doing?!" Nami shouted.
"Grimm, time to Gigantamax!" Yukiko said returning Grimm to his pokeball and then it grew to the size of a volleyball. She threw it to reveal a larger form of Grimm. He became much taller and all of its body except hus face and chest mark is covered in hair. His limbs become longer, and its hair now makes up its hands and feet, each with three and two digits respectively. His eyes are red with white pupils, and the hair from around its neck and shoulders is raised in a pointy collar shape surrounding its head, as the two longer rear locks join in a single spike waving above the head. Three red clouds surround the back hair that pointed up.
Grimm roared as the Knock-Out Koala actually looked nervous but still stood his ground.
"Grimm, trap him!"
Grimm growled as he used his hair to trap the Knock-Out Koala to the Multi-fruit tree.
"Now guys!"
Luffy then stretched his arms to wrap around the two branches of the tree pulling himself to move behind the Koala and then wrapping his legs around the branches to make himself into a net. Toriko jumped right at Luffy, smiling as Luffy started to stretch back from the momentum.
"GUM GUM KUGI PUNCH!" Luffy and Toriko yelled as Toriko delivered his attack right at the Knock-Out Koala's face sending the creature back. Luffy quickly stretched his arms to grab Nami and Komatsu before the Koala crashed. At the end Luffy, Yukiko, and Toriko bloth clapped their hands together. "Gochisousamadeshita!"
Then Toriko looked at where she was looking to see that the Multi-Fruit Tree that the Knock-Out Koala was swinging on was still moving back and forth.
"What's going on? It's waving around." Luffy said.
"What's going on?" Sanji said as the Cocoalas he was fighting were running away.
"What's happening?" Sani yelled as he, Coco, Rin were running towards the group.
"Everyone get out of here This is a volcano!" Toriko said as he felt the rumbling of the ground beneath him. He started to run down the mountain with the rest of the group.
------------
While everyone was finally a safe distance away from the mountain that was now currently erupting caramel sauce.
"Caramel? How?" Yukiko asked.
"Actually, you said you wanted to tell me about the island. What did you find?" Toriko asked.
"When people were transcribing the texts about the Hungry-la Island. Everyone thinks that the phantom ingredient of this place is the Hungry-la Bird." Coco said.
"But it turns out that the Hungry-la Bird is not the ingredient." Sani said.
"What?" Toriko asked.
Rin explained, "the characters for "bird" and "island" are easily confused with one another. Whoever translated the text read the character wrong."
"So you're saying. The island itself is a legendary ingredient." Toriko said
"No wonder the Hungry-la Bird was an easy opponent." Yukiko said. "The island is really..."
"A natural pudding a la mode." Toriko said as everyone saw that the mountain was actually a gigantic serving of pudding.
"Amazing!" Luffy yelled.
He helped Toriko and Yukiko get back to the mountain as he stretched.
"Ha?! Did his arms just stretch?!" Sani exclaimed.
"Yeah, Luffy ate a Devil's Fruit, so did Yukiko and Chopper here." Nami said.
"Devil's Fruit?" Rin asked.
"I heard of them. They are said to be mysterious Fruit that can give the user a range of abilities, but the taste is said to be unimaginably awful and the price is that they can't swim." Coco said.
"And why did he take the girl with them?" Rin asked pouting.
"Oh, she's our captain's girl after all." Nami said.
"WHAT?!" Sani exclaims.
------------
Luffy, Yukiko, Pachi and Toriko were on the Multi-fruits eating them now.
"Delicious!"
"Pachipa!"
"It's like a multitude of fruits condensed into one magnificent sweet treat!" Toriko said.
"I can see why people call it the Fruit Parlor of the Earth! Oh, Luffy don't eat all of it! I want to take some to the ship, maybe make a dessert out of it like a sherbet." Yukiko said.
"Ooh, that sounds yummy!" Luffy said.
Before they knew it, The island was eaten by Luffy and Toriko as their stomachs inflated.
"So you are really the Straw-Hat guy's girlfriend?" Rin asked Yukiko.
"Yeah, we know how to rely on one another. We even share a room on our ship." Yukiko smiled.
"When did he confess and how?"
"He confessed while we were beating up an enemy."
...........
"Really?"
"Yeah, and he really wanted me as his Queen of the Pirates. Although I'm his first girlfriend. We've been together for almost a full year now. He may not be the smartest, but his heart is in the right place." Yukiko smiled.
"OI! Yukiko, we're leaving!" Luffy yelled.
"Alright, thanks for your help, Rin, though it was short it was nice to meet you." Yukiko said.
"Same here." Rin smiled.
Back at the ship, Yukiko had already prepared some Multi-fruit Sherbet Ice Cream for everyone.
