Toriko and Komatsu set out to capture a Puffer Whale, but this daring quest to satisfy their exotic appetites may be the death of them both! Lucky for them, King Coco is along for the ride!

Plot

Wanting to capture the Puffer Whale that appears every 10 years, Toriko and Komatsu travel via a train towards Gourmet Fortune, a town where Coco, one of the Four Heavenly Kings work as a Fortune Teller. Already predicted that Toriko would come, Coco went and fetch them at the train station, scaring away a Kuendon in the process.

After a meal at Coco's place, Toriko, Komatsu and Coco went to the caves where they met Tina filming regarding the Puffer Whale. However later she later ran out of the cave chasing Zongeh thinking he had caught the Puffer Whale. The three of them continue on into the dark caves, it's also when Coco revealed his superhuman vision, Coco also used his poison to scare away Scorpion Cockroach.

Reaching a deeper part of cave where they required ropes to descend a hole, Komatsu surprised Coco by clinging onto his body not fearing his poison. After they reached, Coco used Poison Dressing to stun a swarm of Swallowtail Bats flying towards them, however they discovered Komatsu went missing from their side. Whilst calling out for Komatsu, Toriko and Coco found themselves in the presence of the most dangerous beast in the cave, the Devil Serpent.
