# God of Cuisine?!
Originally, Prometheus and Khione should have been there as well. But one was with Ace, and the other was with Yamato. And these two couldn't come with Charlotte Linlin because school had started.
Originally, she had wanted them to take leave. After all, a World Shokugeki like this seemed very rare, but she was rebuffed by Zephyr, who served as the principal of the War Military Academy. "I don't care where you take them during the holidays," he'd said, "but after school starts, you need to stay away from them!" Seeing this, Charlotte Linlin could only give up. After all, the current Zephyr was truly someone she couldn't afford to provoke.
As for her appearance, Im on Noah's Ark was a bit surprised, yet also found it reasonable. This Shokugeki World was no less than Heaven for her. However, he still felt that BIG MOM seemed too idle. Every day she was either playing in a certain world or on her way to one. It was time to arrange some work for her.
At the Shokugeki venue in the Tokyo Dome, An continued to introduce the three judges sent by their side. "First," he announced, "let us welcome with warm applause, President Gordon, who specially rushed here from the WGO Headquarters!"
The next second, his face appeared on four screens simultaneously. This was a white man with short golden hair, gray-blue eyes, a gentle smile, and wearing a black suit. At the same time, he was also a three-star chef certified by the WGO, with the nickname Hell's Kitchen.
Many people who had tasted his cuisine gave extremely high evaluations like, "It felt like being in Hell but was incredibly exhilarating, and after the aftertaste, one's interest in Heaven decreased by a third." Simply put, he could take a dish that looked disgusting and tasted bad, and make it into cuisine that made people feel an unusual deliciousness the moment they ate it. Therefore, he was also called the Gourmet Pioneer by many.
Saiba Joichiro always tried various Dark Cuisine because he was influenced by this president. He even led his son, Yukihira Soma, astray.
【*Clap clap clap clap!*】
Tens of thousands of audience members throughout the venue clapped continuously, their eyes filled with surprise. The weight of the WGO's president in this world was, to some extent, heavier than that of the leaders of various nations, and his popularity was immeasurably higher.
"Next is the WGO's only Special Executive Officer, Ms. Nakiri Mana!"
The screen feed above switched, and a graceful and noble figure immediately appeared before everyone. Some people actually knew she and Nakiri Erina were mother-daughter. But they wouldn't doubt the fairness because of this. Just like they weren't worried that the four judges from the World Government side would be biased. As for the reason, they would know shortly.
"Finally, it's our country's Cabinet Prime Minister, Prime Minister Tagawa Ichiei!"
As An's words fell, applause rang out again at the venue. However, the commotion was significantly smaller than for the previous two. The truth was, everyone simply didn't care about politics; even over eighty percent of the TV programs were content related to cooking, food, and restaurants. So many people didn't even know who their prime minister was or what his name was before this. This prime minister was well aware of this, and therefore didn't care about these matters at all.
"Now, please, the seven judges, take the oath!" Host An's smile disappeared from his face, and he looked solemnly at the seven people sitting in their seats.
At the same time.
The entire audience also quieted down, and the whole atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
General shokugeki actually didn't have this process. But this time, because Other World chefs and judges appeared, the WGO specifically added this section. This was to remind the other side that shokugeki was a very serious matter that must be treated with earnestness.
"Oh, we have to read the words on this?" Charlotte Linlin picked up the card that had been placed on the tabletop in advance. Molotov, Hobson, and West, who were sitting beside her, did the same.
However, President Gordon, Prime Minister Tagawa, and Nakiri Mana did not take a card. Because for them, the content of the oath was already deeply ingrained in their hearts.
At the same time, the seven people placed their right palms on the red-covered The Book. This was a very novel experience for Charlotte Linlin and the other three.
"I, XXX, swear before God and the Canon, that the standard for review will always be the dishes themselves, and I guarantee to make an absolutely fair judgment!"
In front of the fifty-five thousand audience members at the venue, and the nearly one hundred billion audience members in front of the screens, the seven people took the oath in unison.
In this Shokugeki World.
The God they spoke of, and what the cross symbolized, was actually the God of Cuisine.
"Hmm?"
But the next second after the seven finished speaking, Charlotte Linlin keenly noticed a strange strength suddenly descending upon her, attempting to influence her spirit and will.
This feeling wasn't very strong, but it definitely existed.
"So that's it, no wonder this world is like this."
"I wonder if there really is a so-called God of Cuisine, or if it's the unique rule power of this world..." Charlotte Linlin mused inwardly.
Fortunately, this wasn't enough to affect her. With her Haki level, even the Tsukuyomi of the Mangekyo Sharingan would have difficulty influencing her.
Of course, she didn't plan to deliberately favor her own chefs. She would vote for whoever's cuisine tasted better!
However, after it was over, she planned to talk about this matter with the Otherworld Strategy Committee. She would ask them to find a method to help Molotov, Hobson, and West eliminate the influence they received. Although it didn't seem like a bad thing...
Next, An, as the host, introduced the chef lineup for the duel between the two sides.
Shokugeki World Representatives: Saiba Joichiro, Azami Nakiri, Yukihira Soma, Asahi Nakiri, Nakiri Erina.
Sea Star Culinary Association Representatives: Ramsay, Zeff, Streusen, Jessica, Thatch.
Ramsay was the old man in the canon who made Sanji incredibly amazed with a plate of fried rice in Water Seven. He also suggested Sanji go to the rooftop to collect the sea salt left behind after the Great Tsunami, Aqua Laguna, had passed.
However, because it was seventeen years ago, he didn't look so old and disheveled. But he was actually Zeff's cooking teacher. That's why they had a photo together back then, and he called Zeff 'that kid'.
There were also rumors that he was the chef of the Roger Pirates. As for whether that was true or false, one would have to ask Shanks and Buggy.
"Then let us begin the first round of this World Shokugeki!" An said, holding the microphone and standing at the host position.
"According to the rules, both sides must select one head chef and two assistant chefs to jointly complete cuisine with the same theme, and the theme for the first round is Appetizer. Please make your decisions!"
The five Shokugeki World representatives on this side looked at each other.
"Leave it to me!" Nakiri Erina's alluring figure stepped forward, and she looked at Yukihira Soma and the others with a determined expression.
Across from them, a graceful and beautiful blonde beauty also stepped out.
Jessica!
At the same time.
The large screen displayed the candidates for head chef and assistant chefs for both sides.
Nakiri Erina, Azami Nakiri, Asahi Nakiri.
VS
Jessica, Streusen, Ramsay.
【*Whoosh——————*】
Cheers and applause erupted again at the venue. Because they had been looking forward to it for a long time.
"Alright, then both contestants, please begin selecting the ingredients and cooking utensils you need. The time limit is thirty minutes!" "It's worth mentioning that in the ingredient library for this Shokugeki, many Otherworld ingredients and seasonings sponsored by the Sea Star Chef Association have been added. I wonder if Nakiri Erina and the others dare to try them?"
An's words had a hint of encouragement. But Nakiri Erina didn't care about this at all, and told everyone with her actions. She... didn't dare!
Because she wasn't familiar with them. Of course, it was impossible to do any experimental dishes in such an extremely important Shokugeki.
And this point was a situation that Zeff's side had anticipated long ago. Therefore, they didn't care about the rules regarding shared ingredients at all.
Even if they told the other side it was dragon meat, more sinewy than beef, the other side wouldn't possibly use it.
On the contrary, their side had no such concerns. Who hadn't seen potato, cabbage, tomato?
Originally, Prometheus and Khione should have been there as well. But one was with Ace, and the other was with Yamato. And these two couldn't come with Charlotte Linlin because school had started.
