Pirates: Steel Chain Fingers

The fruit of fungi.

If someone who has read the "Devil Fruit Illustrated Book" is here, they will be terrified and tell the people around them to run away as soon as possible. Because, this is a terrifying fruit whose power fluctuates with the ability user's 'bottom line'.

It does not have dazzling superpowers, nor does it have a superhuman body that changes its physique, but it has an extremely terrifying and strange ability-to create and manipulate fungi within a certain range.

Because it is too difficult to control fungi, most of the fungus fruit users don't even realize the deep control power of fungus fruits over fungi other than mushrooms. Just like the previous 'mycelium' matsutake mushroom, the most he can do is to promote the growth of mycelium and control them into living ropes to a certain extent.

However, 450 years ago, there was a tyrannical and bottomless fungi fruit user. His name has been permanently sealed, but this person once used the ability of the fungus fruit to create a terrifying disaster of "destruction of the country" among the fifteen kingdoms joined by the world government, and took pleasure in it. In the end, the navy paid the lives of four lieutenant generals, fourteen brigadier generals, and tens of thousands of sailors before completely annihilating this ability user on a certain winter island.

What are fungi?

Mushrooms are fungi, yeasts are fungi, and molds are fungi!

This means that if a person with enough talent and ability eats the fruit of the fungus, he can manipulate the yeast at will to become a great chef that can be recorded in history; he can also control a large range of mushrooms with extreme speed To help those poor and hungry people get rid of the fate of starving to death; of course, he can also wantonly control the spread of mold and erode all life forms, making the whole kingdom completely dead.

Becoming a god or becoming a demon is all in his mind.

The current Matthew is exactly such a fungus fruit capable user with a 'terrible talent'!

I saw him put the Iberian ham prepared by the competition organizer on the chopping board, sniff it and press it with his fingers, then shook his head: "Acorn Iberia, produced in Solaman Island... …only 13 months, not enough.”

Matthew crushed the soft fluorescent 'singing crystal' into powder, twisted a part of it and daubed it on the surface of the ham, muttering: "The temperature is 29, the humidity is 76%, and the year is set at... 34 months !"

"Bacterial clock and monthly watch! 21 rotations!"

As his left hand stroked slowly, the color of the ham's surface gradually changed slightly.

【incredible! Contestant Matthew is actually changing the 'time' of this Iberian ham! What kind of devil fruit did he eat! ? It's amazing! 】

The 'Bread King' Taigu, who was struggling to knead the dough, looked up at Matthew, and almost threw the dough out of his hand in fright.

This kid...how could there be such a devil fruit suitable for cooking! ? What kind of ability is it!

It only took about 7 minutes, and the Iberian ham in Matthew's hand completed the transformation of 21 months, and it was completely as if it had been dried naturally.

"The victory and defeat have been decided."

In the VIP room, Victor showed a slight smile: "Ingredients, cooking skills, and momentum, no matter what they are, they have crushed Taigu, and there is no suspense at all."

On the other side, Katakuri closed his eyes and tilted his neck: "... let him get a terrible fruit. Garrett, do you need to prepare some high-end ingredients for you?"

Garrett looked away, smiled at Katakuri and said, "No need, brother. I gave up this year's competition."

"Huh??" Snamon and Opera turned pale with shock, and the latter stammered, "Hula...Little Garrett, brother's attitude was not good before, did it make you sad? Hula? Apologies! Don't give up the game!"

Garrett shook her head: "It's not like that, Brother Opera. I just think,

There is no need to continue to compare. Because I really can't come up with a dish that can beat Matthew. "

Upon hearing the words, Opera suddenly turned to look at Matthew on the stage with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Opera! Don't be embarrassing!" Katakuri stopped the ready-to-be-moving Opera with a stern tone, then looked at Garrett, his voice was much gentler: "Are you sure? Mom may never allow it again You came out to participate in the cooking competition."

Garrett nodded with a smile. She glanced at Victor not far away, then turned and walked out of the VIP room first.

The long-legged beauty Snamon and the short Tabret looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders helplessly, and chased Garrett out, followed closely by Opela.

Katakuri turned his gaze to Victor who was looking at him, and snorted coldly: "...you are so lucky."

After speaking, he also walked out of the VIP room.

"What are you doing! The attitude is so bad!" Perona said dissatisfied with her hands on her hips.

"Don't be angry, Perona." Victor comforted Perona: "This Mr. Charlotte Katakuri, one day we will meet him again."

"Look, Matthew's cooking is coming to an end!" Wu Hongji suddenly said, pointing to the stage.

On the stage, Matthew was cooking a pot of thick soup. Inside, there are the 'fire claw' parts from the 'specially prepared' Iberian ham, as well as the specially processed pieces of the dry laughing mushroom broken by hand.

The strange fragrance wafted across the arena and audience seats, not only the host and the audience were mesmerized, but the "bread king" Taigu on the stage was the first to be affected.

"It smells so good...ah no, I want to make jam right away...I really want to taste it... Ah! I was confused again! Damn it, it smells so good...Devil! This is a devil's food!"

Taigu was crying and laughing, and the hands that made the jam gradually stopped.

His mind fell apart.

['Bread King' Taigu has completely given up? What a pity... But, everyone must be looking forward to the 'Laughing Fire Claw' from Matthew, right? ? So……】

[The five judges are invited to enter the arena, to taste the "Laughing Fire Claw" of contestant Matthew, and to give their own ratings——! ! Ugh? Judges, please pay attention to your image! Pay attention to the image! 】

The five judges, who were tall or fat and of different shapes, hurried towards the stage, and one who was too obese even fell to the ground and tried to get up with all his hands and feet and continued to run towards this side.

Rushing to the stage, the judges shooed away the waitresses who were trying to serve them small bowls of ham soup, grabbed the spoons themselves and began to fight.

"'Big Shihua'! Let go of the spoon! If you don't let go, I'm going to do it!!"

"Get the hell out of here, Pac-Man! You only deserve to eat beans! It's a pity for you to drink such a good soup! ... Hey! What are you doing, 'Snake'!!??"

"Ah? I'm serving soup, aren't you talking nonsense? It smells so good!"

"Hey, hey! The 'Plumber' fainted after taking a sip of soup!! Someone drag him away! Huh? What is he muttering to himself?"

"...Uh...I've never had such a delicious mushroom soup...I can see the heaven above the vines~~"

The scoring session of several judges directly turned into a farce. And Matthew came to the VIP room with a pot of 'Laughing Fire Claws'.

"This is my answer, please taste it." Although it is a pity that everyone in the BIG MOM Pirates left early, Matthew still hopes that Victor can personally taste the ham and mushroom soup that he tried his best to make.

Victor and the others each filled a bowl of soup, scooped up a spoonful and put it in their mouths.

"It's delicious~~" Everyone showed happy smiles.

And Matthew also took off his headscarf, showing a cheerful smile. This is what he wants, to bring smiles to people's faces through cooking.

[Delicious, delicious! Cuckoo... Whoa! Ah, I almost forgot to announce the results of the competition...]

[Because the cooking of "Bread King" Taigu was not completed within the specified time, and Garrette also automatically withdrew from the competition. So, I declare! The champion of this year's Bocuse Food Competition is——————]
