"Didn’t you say you were looking for a Camping Monster? The ones in the Human World are too weak for you, and you’re not heading to the Gourmet World just yet, so I took a trip for you."

"There aren’t many that fit your requirements. The one I’ve prepared for you... you could say Ichiryu had a hand in it too!"

Jiro said with a grin.

"What kind of Camping Monster would require President Ichiryu’s help??"

Yuuki was baffled. He couldn’t even begin to guess what it could be.

"The one I got for you is on the Sixth Continent. You know a lot about the Gourmet World, right? Then you must know about the Seven Beasts of the Sixth Continent!"

Jiro nodded, bringing up the legendary creatures.

"I know a little. The Whale King Moon of the Sixth Continent stays in its deepest regions. The continent is usually managed by the Seven Beasts, a bit like the system on the Seventh Continent."

Yuuki confirmed. While he didn’t know much about the other continents besides Six, Seven, and Eight, the Seven Beasts were a major part of the original story’s plot.

The Sixth and Seventh Continents were similar. The Monkey King and the Whale King didn’t manage their lands directly, leaving it to other creatures.

The Monkey King had entrusted the management of the Seventh Continent to a few master-level monkeys.

As for the Sixth Continent, it was managed by the Seven Beasts. The rumor was that the Seven Beasts and the Whale King Moon managed it together, as if they were rivals.

But in reality, the Seven Beasts were the Whale King’s subordinates. The ruler of each continent was, without question, the strongest being on that land. If there were even a hint of dissent, the Eight Kings wouldn’t be able to hold their positions.

On the Sixth Continent, though the Whale King didn’t involve itself in daily affairs, it was still the king. So, the Seven Beasts were undoubtedly its subjects.

The Seven Beasts were very special creatures. Their bodies contained a unique material that was immune to the erosion of time.

The Golden Chef, Jiji, had used this material to forge the Golden Cookware.

This was the key to preparing ANOTHER. After all, preparing ANOTHER took six hundred thousand years. No other cooking utensil could withstand such a long period of continuous cooking.

Though the flow of time in the World of Souls was different from the outside world, time was not frozen there.

Both the Golden Cookware and the souls within would slowly be worn away by the passage of time.

Many of the souls who entered the World of Souls, though they eventually revived by stealing another’s body, had forgotten who they were, and even why they wanted to be revived.

Asarudy was the best example. He had wanted to be revived because of a promise to his lover, but after his revival, he had forgotten who he was and his purpose.

The Golden Material, however, was not subject to the erosion of time. Unless it was violently destroyed, it would basically not be damaged. Honestly, Yuuki was even tempted to try incorporating the Golden Material into his own knife.

After all, though his knife was made of incredibly strong material, it would still be eroded by time.

....

"That’s right. Your Camping Monster this time is related to the Seven Beasts. I asked Ichiryu to contact some people on the Sixth Continent. He has some good connections over there."

"In the end, we asked a very special guy to use one of the Seven Beasts, the Giant Shell, to nurture a smaller version for you. The Giant Shell is a perfect Camping Monster."

"Not only is it amphibious and can fly, but it also has super-strong defensive capabilities. When it’s ready, it will be the best Camping Monster for you."

After Jiro’s explanation, it all clicked for Yuuki. He immediately remembered the Magneticlam from the original story, which had carried Toriko and the others into space. That was a juvenile Giant Shell. Its ability to do so showed just how powerful the species was.

The Giant Shell, one of the Seven Beasts, had an area of over ten million square kilometers. Its size was immense, and its young also had tremendous potential. It was indeed the most suitable Camping Monster for him.

....

"THANK YOU SO MUCH, MASTER JIRO!"

Yuuki said with deep gratitude. A Camping Monster like this was undoubtedly the best. Now he also understood why Ichiryu had to get involved.

To nurture such a special Camping Monster, you had to get Jiji to do it. He was a master in this field.

But getting Jiji to act was not something just anyone could do. With Ichiryu asking, he would definitely agree. After all, the name "Jiji" had been given to him by Ichiryu.

Ichiryu had a powerful ability to inspire others. When he met the three Flavor Sages back then, he had given each of them a name and had established a deep friendship.

That was why in the original story, the three Flavor Sages had helped Toriko and the others so unstintingly, even at the cost of their own lives. Though the main reason was their feud with the Blue Nitro, Ichiryu was also a key factor.

With Ichiryu’s help, Jiji had naturally agreed to nurture the Camping Monster.

"We’re the ones who should be thanking you. Setsu and I have also received a lot of favors from you."

Jiro shook his head. Theirs was a relationship of mutual benefit. Setsuno also smiled and nodded. Building a good relationship with Yuuki was definitely one of the best decisions she had ever made.

"Let’s stop thanking each other and get down to business!"

Yuuki said with a laugh. He knew how important the things he had given them were, and they were constantly repaying him.

"You’re right. Let’s get to it. Jiro’s problem is the most critical."

Setsuno nodded. The issue with Jiro’s body had always been a great worry for her.

Hearing this, Yuuki and Yosaku explained the technique they had researched and their plan.

"In short, we’ll use this technique to release the damage stored in his body. I’ll help Master Jiro accelerate the release. During this process, his body will be constantly injured, but I’ll inject a large amount of Life Energy."

After Yuuki told them the plan, both of them were thoroughly amazed.

"You actually fused the techniques of Damage Knocking and Food Immersion... you’re a true genius! You know, the effects of Food Immersion can only be maintained temporarily, which is why everyone uses it right before a big battle."

Setsuno was astonished. Food Immersion, while useful, had its drawbacks. Its effectiveness depended on how much time the user had to prepare.

Take Chin Chinchin. Though he had foreseen the coming battle and sensed the crisis, he had had too little time for Food Immersion. And he had held back when fighting Granny Chiyo, which was why he had been seriously injured.

If the effects of Food Immersion could be made permanent, then there would be no need for advance preparation. One could always be in their peak state.

"I came up with the technique by accident. It’ll be easy for Master Jiro to learn since he knows both skills. For anyone else, they would need to raise their Knocking proficiency to a High-level to learn it."

Yuuki explained that it would be incredibly simple for Jiro to learn this move. After all, he was a master of both techniques.

"So there’s such a condition for others to learn it!"

Hearing this, Setsuno was speechless. The number of people in this world who could reach a High-level of Knocking proficiency could be counted on one hand. It had to be said, this technique was truly difficult to learn.

"Actually, it can be learned separately. After all, many people have mastered Food Immersion. So, if they only learn that side of the technique, the difficulty will be much lower."

"Of course, in return, because the difficulty is much lower, the only effect after learning it will be the permanent accumulation of energy. The ability to gradually release physical damage from Damage Knocking will be gone."

Yuuki explained simply. Very few people could learn the full version of this technique, so the abridged version was enough.

"That’s not a problem. After all, the only people who have mastered Damage Knocking now are you, Jiro, and Acacia-sensei!"

Setsuno shook her head. Just the permanent accumulation of energy from Food Immersion was already ridiculous enough.

....

"That’s an incredible thing... but what’s Food Immersion?"

Toriko asked with confusion. He hadn’t even come into contact with Food Honor yet, so he had no idea what they were talking about.

"It’s a very special technique. Simply put, it can raise the upper limit of the calories in your body, though only temporarily. But I didn’t expect Chef Yuuki and Master to come up with a way to permanently raise the limit."

Teppei was also very shocked. He had learned Food Honor and had reached the master level, and he had also learned Food Immersion. That was why he could easily capture Zebra and throw him in prison.

Because he knew what Food Immersion was, he was all the more shocked.

"Then what’s Damage Knocking? A special Knocking technique?"

Toriko asked again. The term had come up repeatedly in their conversation, but he and Sunny still didn’t know what it was.

"It’s a very special type of Knocking. When you’re attacked, you can use it to directly seal most of the damage inside your body, so it doesn’t affect you."

"As for the remaining small part, it’s separated and directed outside, affecting the environment."

Teppei explained simply.

"WHAT?? Isn’t that invincible??"

Hearing this, Sunny exclaimed. Toriko nodded quickly beside him. No matter how you looked at it, this move was completely unreal.

"It’s not that simple. You know the effect of this move, so you should also know that it’s very difficult to learn. You heard just now, only three people in the world know it."

"Forget the difficulty of learning it—the damage accumulated in the body can be released. If someone knows the location where the damage is stored and has also mastered this move, they can use Knocking to undo the seal."

"Once the damage that has been stored for a long time accumulates and erupts, even the strongest person will die!"

Teppei explained that there was no such thing as an invincible move—everything came with a price. He dared to tell them now, on one hand, because neither of them knew this move or its weak point.

On the other hand, after today, all the damage on Jiro’s body would be released, so there was no need to worry about him being threatened anymore.

Otherwise, no matter how much of a chatterbox Teppei was, he would never casually reveal Jiro’s weakness.

"Even so, this move is still unreal. A pity the learning difficulty is too high. Only three people have learned it!"

To think that in the entire world, with so many people who knew Knocking, only Yuuki, Jiro, and the Gourmet God Acacia knew this move... Sunny couldn’t help but shake his head.

....

As they were talking, Yuuki and the others had already begun. He started to teach Jiro the technique. With Jiro’s ability and his complete mastery of both component skills, his learning speed was bound to be fast.

And sure enough, about three hours later, Jiro had successfully mastered the move. The damage in his body was now constantly dissipating outwards.

The release speed was very slow because it couldn’t harm his body. But the surrounding environment couldn’t take such a beating.

Helpless, the group had no choice but to move to the wilderness.

Though the released damage wouldn’t directly affect the earth, it wouldn’t just disappear into thin air either.

It would still erupt outside the body.

If they continued to stay in the Land of Healing, it would have been completely destroyed.

"It really is constantly dissipating, and I don’t have to worry about my body. But the speed is a bit too slow. Who knows how long it will take for all this damage to be released."

Jiro also knew the power of this move, but the release speed was too slow. He was well aware of how much damage he had accumulated in his body. At this rate, it would truly take until the cows came home.

"Next, I’ll accelerate the process. So you need to be ready."

Yuuki said.
