## Chapter 1575: The Similarities Between Chefs and Swordsmen!
The appearance of the Five-Colored Dragon Pearl Soft-shelled Turtle Soup, which was like soup yet not soup, like fish yet not fish, could be said to have directly determined the outcome of this round's shokugeki.
Even after Thatch served his meticulously prepared Ancient Tree Moonlight Mushroom Clear Soup thirty minutes later, it still couldn't change the minds of the seven judges, including Charlotte Linlin.
This was because the Five-Colored Dragon Pearl Soft-shelled Turtle Soup was a dish that couldn't be resisted simply by having special ingredients.
Ultimately, Azami Nakiri and Saiba Joichiro won with a perfect seven votes.
At the same time, this proved that as fathers, although they had been surpassed by their children, their strength was still not to be underestimated!
Next, Executive Ann, serving as the host, announced another thirty-minute break.
After the more than fifty thousand audience members on site had taken care of their physiological needs, or bought new drinks and snacks, and returned to their respective positions, the third round of the shokugeki officially began.
The theme was seafood.
This marked the entry into the most important main course segment.
"Let's see who the head chefs are for this round!"
"Wow—"
Ann looked up at the avatars and names displayed on the screen and let out an exclamation.
"The head chef is Saiba Joichiro versus Ramsay!"
"And the former's assistant chef is none other than the head chef from the previous round, Azami Nakiri, and he's the only one!"
That's right, it was still the two of them this round, but their roles were switched.
"Our cooperation last time was quite good. I'll be counting on you again this time, Nakiri."
Joichiro looked at Azami Nakiri beside him, who replied calmly, "Then let's win another round!"
On the opposite side, the assistant chef candidates for Old Master Ramsay had also been announced.
They were his disciple, the current president of the Sea Star Chef Association, Zeff, and the head chef from the previous round, Im's imperial chef, Thatch.
It was quite puzzling that Ramsay didn't choose Streusen, who possessed the Eat-Eat Fruit ability.
"The dishes this old man is going to make this time don't require that strange ability!"
Immediately, Ramsay led Zeff and Thatch towards the seafood zone.
Could there be some ingredients that the Eat-Eat Fruit ability couldn't replicate?
Normally, there shouldn't be any, as long as it was food that Streusen had tasted.
Basically, with one cut, whether it was wood or steel, it would turn into the ingredients in his mind.
Of course, the premise was that he could cut through steel.
"Zeff, judging by your gaze, you've gained some insights, haven't you?"
Ramsay said in a low voice as he walked ahead, without turning his head.
Zeff, who was following behind him, kept his expression unchanged and nodded in reply, "Last round, I used observation haki throughout to perceive the opponent's state."
"As expected, I discovered that during the process of preparing ingredients, an active mental power burst forth from their brain, then slowly flowed along their arms and the cooking utensils in their hands into the ingredients they were processing."
"This reminded me of the Breathing Style in the Demon Slayer World. The principle behind the various elemental illusions formed by their swordsmanship is largely the same as them causing food to produce radiance."
"The only difference is that chefs in this world can temporarily stimulate the eater's various perceptions through this mental power injected into the food, causing the originally normal deliciousness to bring about intense excitement and hallucinatory effects."
Zeff shared the results of his thought during this time.
"Why does that sound so much like XX?!" Thatch asked, his face full of surprise after listening.
Zeff replied in a deep voice, "That's right, but it doesn't seem to have any reliance or addictiveness."
"So I think it's more like a hypnosis, or like a ninja's genjutsu, with the dishes they make as the medium."
Ramsay stopped and looked at the long strip fish swimming in the glass tank, asking, "So you know what to do?"
"I have some ideas. As I said before, perhaps we can learn from the Demon Slayer Breathing Style. It just so happens that I've learned Wind Breathing."
Zeff replied thoughtfully.
Among the three of them, only he knew the Breathing Style because he had served as a kicking technique instructor in the Military and Political Department for a period.
Although the Demon Slayer Breathing Style didn't provide much improvement in combat power for colonel rank and above, many people still dedicated some energy to learning a style because it came with gorgeous element effects.
Zeff was one such person.
Ramsay and Thatch, on the other hand, had no interest in this.
However, if this Demon Slayer Breathing Style could truly help them control the 'glowing cuisine' of the Shokugeki World and further improve their cooking skill level, then they would be interested.
But how exactly it would turn out would depend on Zeff's research results.
"Then this old man's second dish this time will be left to you. Let's see if you can make it emit beautiful light."
Ramsay suddenly made a surprising decision.
Generally speaking, a shokugeki only requires one dish.
But if the same ingredients are used, it is indeed possible to make a derivative dish.
However, most chefs wouldn't do this.
Because the cooking time for a shokugeki is only fifty minutes.
"Yes, Teacher!"
Zeff agreed after a few seconds of thought.
Actually, they didn't need to research these things themselves at all.
After all, once this 'world shokugeki' is over, regardless of who wins or loses, the 'WGO' of this shokugeki world will definitely be included in the jurisdiction of the 'Sea Star Chef Association'.
At that time, they could learn anything they wanted, and could even require Joichiro and the others to personally teach them.
But Zeff still wanted to ponder it himself first. Perhaps in this process, he could gain some valuable insights.
With this idea in mind, Zeff was fully invested physically and mentally in this shokugeki, even though he wasn't the head chef.
At this moment.
The three had returned to the kitchen zone.
Zeff and Thatch looked seriously at the long strip fish on the cutting board that resembled hairtail.
Its academic name was 'Dragon-Type. Super Fillet Salmon', also known as 'Dragon Salmon'.
According to the records in the "Sea Star Rare Ingredients Encyclopedia: East Blue Chapter".
This was a beautiful salmon whose body size could make people think of the myth creature 'Dragon'.
They would only gather in groups of hundreds for breeding during the breeding season.
Its meat was incredibly tender and incredibly delicious, far surpassing beef fillet, which is to say, beef tenderloin.
Legend has it that those who eat them will be accompanied by luck for a period of time afterward.
Therefore.
Even in Sea Star, which has countless strange marine creatures, it is considered a very rare and delicious fish.
Fortunately, after the Chef Association was established, it specifically organized a squad to be responsible for tracking them.
But to prevent overfishing, the specific position is confidential.
Only the president and vice president can retrieve recent traces.
However, this 'Dragon Salmon' is not something just anyone can prepare.
Its biggest difficulty is that the midline of the abdomen must be cut open with a single stroke, and there cannot be even a millimeter of deviation.
Otherwise, its entire fish body will instantly burst open like a water balloon.
Therefore, the chef's cut must be extremely fast, extremely precise, and the blade must be long enough.
After all, the 'Dragon Salmon' itself is nearly two meters long!
Let's just say this.
In this shokugeki world, it's almost impossible to find a chef who can handle this 'Dragon Salmon'.
Joichiro, Erina, and others can't either, because they are normal humans.
You know, even Sanji failed more than ten times when trying to handle the 'Dragon Salmon'.
He only succeeded in the end with the help of Zoro's blade.
Although Sanji's strength wasn't very strong at that time, he was definitely not someone they could compare to.
And now.
Standing before the 'Dragon Salmon' is Zeff's teacher, 'Sanji's' grandmaster.
Ramsay!
[Swish——————]
Suddenly, the hand holding the blade turned into a flashing afterimage.
Fish scales, dorsal fin, fish gills, were cleaned off in the blink of an eye with smooth and flowing movements.
And when the blade began to cut through the snow-white fish body.
A faint blue energy blade actually appeared on the surface, cleanly and decisively cutting open the entire fish belly!
"Kids, remember this, although chefs and swordsmen have different professions, they both live by the blade!"
The old master said calmly, looking at the first 'Dragon Salmon' he had prepared.
Then he reached out for the next one.
