Chapter 129 - Real Century Soup (2/2)
Gourmet Corp. headquarters.
”Is Alfaro dead?”
The news left entire members stunned in disbelief.
”That is impossible! There is no way that he will die!”
”His strength is very powerful! He can even enter the Gourmet World!
”That's not important! The important thing is who has killed him? Also, we have failed to gather a Century Soup for a boss!
”...............”
They were silent and didn't dare to say anything again. They were looking at their boss who was sitting on the throne without saying anything.
”It's a shame that we are unable to gather Century Soup, all you need to do is gather the other ingredients,” their boss said.
”YES!!!”
They nodded and started to move to gather more ingredients.
In the room, there were only two people left.
”Starjun, tell me, how he was killed?”
”Yes,” Starjun nodded and started to explain the chronology.
Starjun is a tall pale-skinned man slightly taller than Toriko, with long black hair. Starjun normally wears an imposing metal helmet which conceals his true face. He dresses in a manner similar to a black knight in formal attire, wearing a large black cloak with numerous crescent-shaped buttons and a black cape, along with a formal black top and trousers complete with a white sash tied around his waist and a white napkin stuffed in his collar, and on his feet he wears black armored boots.
Starjun told his boss that they didn't see any wounds outside his body, only Alfaro's brain was in a mess and completely destroyed.
Haru, who fainted before, couldn't maintain his zipper and the zipper on Alfaro's head, closed automatically and didn't leave any trace.
Starjun only found out the results after a doctor at the organization dissected his body earlier.
”Hmmm.”
”Is this okay, boss? You need a Century Soup, right?” Starjun asked worriedly.
”Don't worry.”
Starjun wanted to say something again but stopped. He sighed and said, ”I will gather another ingredient.”
His boss didn't say anything and looked toward the ceiling of his room.

Haru closed his eyes and tried to control his new power. He didn't need to open his eyes right now to see everyone since he could feel it. When he opened his eyes, he saw a blurry image of them. He felt that he could predict their movement a second faster, 'Is this the future?' He felt that it was similar to the description of observation haki.
'Maybe that deadly battle awakens my observation haki?' Haru needed to check whether it was right or not.
”Haru, why do you close your eyes? Is there something wrong with your eyes?” Luffy asked curiously.
”Nothing, I'm training on something,” Haru said and tried to stop seeing this blurry after image when he opened his eyes.
