If there are people here who have read through the "Devil Fruit Illustrated Manual", they will be horrified and tell the people around them to run away as soon as possible. Because this is a terrifying fruit whose power fluctuates according to the "bottom line" of the person with the ability.
It does not have dazzling superpowers, nor does it have a superhuman body that can change its constitution, but it does possess an extremely terrifying and strange ability - to create and manipulate fungi within a certain range.
Because it is too difficult to control fungi, most fungus fruit users are not even aware of the fungus fruit's deep control over fungi other than mushrooms. Just like the previous 'hyphae' matsutake mushroom, he has the most
The only thing that can be done is to promote the growth and reproduction of hyphae and control them to a certain extent to turn them into adult ropes.
However, 450 years ago, there was a powerful and bottomless fungus fruit user. His name has been permanently sealed, but this person used the fungus fruit ability to control the world in fifteen world governments.
He created a terrible disaster of "annihilation" in the kingdom and took great pleasure in it. In the end, the navy paid the lives of four lieutenant generals, fourteen commodores and tens of thousands of sailors to kill this man.
People with abilities were completely wiped out 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 takes the fruit of fungus, he can manipulate yeast at will to become a great chef that can go down in history; he can also control a large range of mushrooms at extremely fast speeds.
Growth, to help those poor hungry people escape the fate of starving to death; of course, he can also arbitrarily control the spread of mold and corrode all living things, causing the entire kingdom to fall into complete silence.
Becoming a god or becoming a demon is all within his reach.
Now Matthew is exactly such a fungus fruit user with a "terrible talent"!
I saw him put the Iberian ham prepared by the organizer of the competition on the chopping board, went up to it, smelled it and pressed it with his fingers, then shook his head: "Acorn Iberian ham, produced on Solaman Island...
…Only 13 months is not enough.”
Matthew ground the soft fluorescent 'Singing Crystal' into powder, twisted some of it and lightly applied it on the surface of the ham. He muttered: "The temperature is 29, the humidity is 76%, and the year is set at... 34 months
!”
"Bacterial Clock·Monthly Clock! 21 rotations!"
As his left hand slowly stroked it, the color of the surface of the ham slowly changed slightly.
[Unbelievable! Player Matthew is actually changing the 'time' of this Iberian ham! What kind of Devil Fruit is he eating!? It's really amazing!]
The 'Bread King' Taigu, who was struggling to knead the dough across from him, looked up and glanced at Matthew, and was so frightened that he almost threw the dough in his hand.
How could this kid... have a Devil Fruit that is so suitable for cooking!? What kind of ability does he have!
It only took about 7 minutes for the Iberian ham in Matthew's hands to complete its 21-month transformation, and it was completely as if it had been dried naturally.
"The outcome has been decided."
In the VIP room, Victor showed a smile: "Ingredients, cooking skills, and momentum, no matter what, they crushed Taigu. There is no suspense at all."
On the other side, Katakuri closed his eyes and tilted his neck: "...I made him get a terrible fruit. Garrett, do you need to prepare some high-end ingredients for you?"
Garrett withdrew her gaze, smiled at Katakuri and said, "No need, brother. I give up on this year's competition."
"Huh??" Snamon and Opela were shocked, and the latter stammered: "Hula... Little Garrett, my brother had a bad attitude before, did it make you sad? Hula? Brother wants to tell you
Apologize! Don’t give up the game!”
Garrett shook her head: "That's not the case, Brother Opela. I just think there is no need to continue the comparison, because I really can't come up with a dish that can beat Matthew."
Hearing this, Opera suddenly turned her head and looked at Matthew on the stage with a fierce look in her eyes.
"Opera! Don't embarrass yourself!" Katakuri used a stern tone to stop Opela who was about to move, then looked at Garrett, his voice became much gentler: "Are you sure? Mom may never allow it again.
You came out to participate in the cooking competition."
Garrett smiled and nodded. She glanced at Victor who was not far away, then turned around and walked out of the VIP room first.
The long-legged beauty Snamon and the little Tablett looked at each other, shrugged helplessly, and chased Garrett out, followed closely by Opela.
Katakuri turned to Victor, who was looking at him, and snorted: "...You are so lucky."
After saying that, he also walked out of the VIP room.
"What are you doing! What a bad attitude!" Perona said dissatisfiedly 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 almost finished!" Wu Hongji suddenly said and pointed to the stage.
On the stage, Matthew was making a pot of thick soup. In it were the 'fire claw' parts sliced from the 'specially prepared' Iberian ham, as well as the specially processed pork belly broken into pieces with his hands.
Shredded mushrooms.
The peculiar aroma wafted in the arena and the auditorium. Not only the host and the audience were intoxicated, but Taigu, the "Bread King" on the stage, was the first to be affected.
"It smells so good... Oh, no, I have to make jam quickly... I really want to taste it... Ah! I'm confused again! Damn it, it smells so good... Devil! This is the devil's cooking!"
Taigu cried and laughed, and his hands gradually stopped making jam.
His mentality collapsed.
[Has 'Bread King' Taegu given up completely? What a pity... However, everyone must be looking forward to Matthew's 'Laughing Fire Claw' in their hearts, right? Then...]
[Five judges were invited to come in, taste contestant Matthew’s ‘Laughing Fire Claw’, and give their own scores——!! Oh? Judges, please pay attention to your image! Pay attention to your image! 】
The five judges, who were either tall or fat, with different shapes, hurriedly ran towards the stage. One who was too fat even fell to the ground and tried to get up using his hands and feet and continued running towards this direction.
Rushing to the stage, the judges drove away the beautiful waitress who tried to serve them with ham soup into small bowls, grabbed the spoons themselves and started fighting.
"'Big Food Flower'! Let me go of the spoon! If you don't let go, I'm going to do it!!"
"Get out of here now, Pac-Man! You only deserve Pac-Man! It's such a pity for you to drink such a good soup!... Hey! Snake, what are you doing!!??"
"Ah? I'm serving soup, aren't you talking nonsense? It smells so good!"
"Hey! The 'plumber' fainted after taking a sip of soup!! Someone come and drag him away! Huh? What was he mumbling to himself?"
"...Uh...I've never had such delicious mushroom soup...I can see the kingdom of heaven above the vines~~"
The scoring session by several judges turned into a farce. Matthew came to the VIP room carrying a pot of ‘Laughing Fire Claws’.
"This is my answer, please taste it." Although it was a pity that everyone in the Big Mom Pirates left the table early, Matthew still hoped that Victor could personally taste the ham and mushroom soup that he had tried his best to make.
Victor and others each filled a bowl of soup, took a spoonful and put it into their mouths.
"It tastes good~~" Everyone showed happy smiles.
Matthew also took off his headscarf and showed a cheerful smile. This is what he wants, to make people smile with cooking.
[Delicious, delicious! Gu Gu Gu Gu... Hua wow! Ah, I almost forgot to announce the results of the competition...]
[Because the dish of the 'Bread King' contestant Taigu was not completed within the specified time, and contestant Garrett also automatically withdrew from the competition. Therefore, I announce! The winner of this year's 'Bocuse Gourmet Competition' is——————
