Chapter 616 - Gourmet Corp. Invansion 5 (1/2)

The fight intensified, leaving only the powerhouse within the stadium since a lot of people and monsters decided either to run away had run away or were killed on the battlefield.

Haru, Kouha, Korosensei, Tsunade, Esdeath, and Luffy kept fighting against the monsters decreasing the number of enemies. But there were some enemies who had run away during the battle after kidnapping a number of chefs in this event.

Even if they wanted to stop them, they could do nothing since the number of the enemy was just too much.

If the enemy was just small fries then it was alright, but each of the enemies could become a powerhouse in Esdeath's world turning them into very hard opponents to fight.

But it didn't take long before Gourmet Corp. decided to retreat after some of its objections had been completed.

”It's good that it's over,” Tsunade said. Her back was quite sore and she felt a bit tired moving around the battlefield earlier.

”Well, not yet.”

Haru looked at the sky since he saw another enemy appeared.

Everyone looked at the sky and saw something similar to a large eel floating in the sky with two people on the top of this creature. They could feel a dangerous feeling coming from the man who was black-clad which made their bodies scream to run away.

But Setsuno, who was by their side, eased the pressure which they received which gave them a feeling of relief.

On the top of the head of that floating eel, they also saw a familiar figure who they knew very well.

”TEPPEI!!!!”

They shouted his name, but Teppei didn't react or whatever as if he had turned into a robot or a doll who was being controlled by the man beside him.

”....”

They knew that Teppei was just acting, but it hurt them a bit when they were being ignored by him.

Setsuno frowned and looked at the person beside Teppei. Her pupil widened when she noticed the knife in that man's hand.

”T - That knife...!!!”

Teppei and the other man landed on the ground. The large eel monster entered their shadow and disappeared leaving only both Teppei and the man facing Setsuno, Haru, and everyone.

Zebra didn't hesitate to shoot them out with ”Voice Missile”, but Teppei had created a plant to block that attack easily. He was about to send out another attack, but he was being apprehended by Teppei using a plant.

”GNHH!!!!!”

Nitros inside the stadium felt there was a crisis, but decided to attack the man who had come with Teppei.

The black-clad man only waved his knife before the two Nitros stood up obediently beside him

”Joie!!!”

Setsuno lost her composure when she saw that knife and asked, ”Where did you get that knife!”

'Joie, huh?'

Haru looked at the black-clad man in front of him.

”As for the knife, is there any problem?” Joie asked calmly.

”Don't play dumb with me! Show your true form, Joei! That knife is the legendary kitchen knife ”Cinderella”! The one who used to wield it was the God of Chef, Froese!”

Setsuno couldn't believe the knife of one of the important people in her life was being held by an enemy which made her agitated.

”That's right. That's why I have told you...”

”It's mine right,” Joie said and was about to swing his knife toward them.

*Shudder!*

Everyone shuddered.

Esdeath didn't realize that her back was full of sweat. The pressure which came from Joie was so strong that it stunned her, but her character wasn't easy to give up and was about to step up to taunt him. However, her hand was grabbed.

”Haru?”

Haru shook his head and said, ”It's too dangerous.” He read the future and knew how strong Joei's attack was.

”Hundred Million-Piece Fillet!”

Waving his knife in a serpentine pattern, Joie created a slash made out of either pressurized air or Appetite Energy.

”EVERYONE, DUCK!”

Screaming, Setsuno took our her special knife and used her secret technique.

Everyone also ducked down hearing Setsuno's words believed that this grandma would protect them.

”Secret Technique Flavor Flow!”

The slash which was being released by Joie moved toward everyone and suddenly changed its direction.

”....”
