"Wow! Thanks for inviting me to the Gourmet Towers to eat at Yakiniku Healthy, Toriko. I heard places this high usually turn away first-timers." Kimiko said as she looked at the night sky view over Gourmet Town.

"Yup. Some are so exclusive you can only enter them by airship. We'll go to one of those sometime." Toriko said as he grilled more meat as a waitress got them some more.

"You sure it's alright ordering all this?" Kimiko asked.

"Well, I do still owe you for helping me at the Gourmet King Tournament, not to mention the wine you made for my old man." 

"Your dad?"

"Nah, I call him that, but he is really the president of the IGO."

"Oh Ichiryu? Granny Setsu mentioned him before, but I never met him myself. She even told me he knew my great great grandparents."

"Really?! Oh right, the old man's older than he looks..." Toriko said.

"Yeah, Grandpa Garp, Grandma Rosetta, and those two go way back. Granny would tell me how often she saw Grandma Rosetta drop-kick Grandpa Garp, even when they were still rookie marines."

"Wha? Then why did they marry?"

"Grandma told Grandpa he had to. He got her pregnant. They had a shotgun wedding, and they stayed married for the family. Besides, Grandma was the only woman that could keep up with Grandpa......He died a few months after I was born. Granny said it was also the first time she saw Rosetta cry. Despite her attitude, she really did love him. She passed on a month after that." Kimiko smiled sadly.

Toriko could tell it was a sensitive subject, and before he could ask more, the main dish came:

Vegetables!

Before the duo knew it, they were munching down on fresh veggies.

---------------------

Kimiko sighed happily as she was full. "Whew, never thought I'd get full from eating veggies. And Grandpa Luffy always liked meat."

"Vegetables are underrated huh?" Toriko smiled as he drank some whiskey.

"Yeah, I'll need to expand my menu to think of veggie dishes for vegetarians." 

"Then how about the King of Vegetables?"

"Huh?!"

"The old man is having me go on an expedition. Tens of thousands in the air, there is said to be a massive garden growing in the heavens: Vegetable Sky."

"Vegetable Sky?! A garden in the heavens?!"

"It's said only a handful of people ever reached it, but they come back down a veggie lover. Then there is the King of Vegetables: Ozone Grass. It's said to be more delicious than any veggie on Earth, as if one bite will send you to Heaven. And you cant find it in any market, not even in the Gourmet Towers."

Kimiko looked amazed as she thought of the place and Toriko smiled.

"You wanna tag along?" Toriko asked.

"Arceus, YEAH! I WANNA TRY SOME OZONE GRASS!" Kimiko yelled.

"Great, we'll leave first thing tomorrow!"
