Chapter 657 Opening
The central area of the food island.
The Food Giant Stadium, which can accommodate up to [-] million people, is the main venue for the giant food festival.
The host holding a microphone spoke the opening speech loudly and excitedly.
"Dear viewers! The exciting moment has finally arrived!"
"Today is the four-year food festival!"
"A food festival that belongs to all people on earth!"
"Then, let us give the warmest applause to welcome the 100 chefs participating in this food festival!"
"Official admission!"
Accompanied by cheers like a roaring tsunami and thunderous applause, at the entrance of the stadium, colorful fireworks rose into the air and exploded, with countless ribbons floating down.
A group of cooks dressed in white chef uniforms and tall chef hats, with expressions that were either shy, excited, disapproving, or indifferent, slowly entered the venue.
"Bah, bah, bah, there's really enough garbage."
There was a sea of people on the high platform, and at a glance, it was full of people.
Tickets to the food festival are hard to come by.
Dover and the others were sitting at the front of the venue.
Alu and others were not far away from them.
Not only that, there was a huge round dining table in front of them, and service staff were serving delicious dishes one after another.
This area was specially prepared for IGO by 'G7', the organizer of the food festival.
G7 is the collective name for the seven largest giant groups on the planet.
More than 200 years ago, they united together to form such a behemoth, affecting the world structure.
Its size covers more than 200 countries around the world.
In terms of real control, it is much stronger than IGO and Food Club combined.
Next to Katakuri, the little girl Yana didn't know what she saw, her face was a little pale, she stretched out her little hand and grabbed the corner of Katakuri's clothes, her petite body was trembling.
"Ok?"
Katakuri looked thoughtfully, following her gaze.
The direction Yana looked in was the square table of the G7 leader, the organizer of the food festival and the leader of the seven giant groups.
Among the seven people, there was a bald old man with a big belly, looking at the 100 cooks in front of him with a smile.
"That's? The chairman of a corporate food group with assets of over 800 trillion."
Katakuri's eyes moved, knowing why Yana's expression suddenly changed, and he felt scared.
Her hometown, that barren country stretching for thousands of miles, that place that was used as a breeding farm by a certain powerful force and used human lives to feed pigs, was the work of this person.
"Enemy...?"
The moment Katakuri retracted his gaze, the bald old man seemed to notice something. He suddenly turned his head and glanced this way, with an intriguing smile on his face.
"It's so unpleasant! Why do you have to sit with those smug bastards? Isn't this spoiling my appetite?!"
Ahead, Zebra had a gloomy look on his face and glanced at Akin and Dover at the other table with great displeasure.
Ah Jin gave him a cold look and uttered two words, "Shabi."
"What did you say?! I'm going to tear you apart!"
Zebra's ability is sonic control. How abnormal is his hearing?
Even if a pin drops to the ground ten kilometers away, he can hear it clearly.
He was immediately furious and was about to go to find Ah Jin to settle the score, but he was held down by Alu, Coco and others who had quick eyes and quick hands.
Suddenly, Alu felt someone looking at him from behind. It was different from the ordinary gaze. This gaze made him feel uncomfortable.
He turned around in confusion, but only saw a figure with white hair and beard, and a white ribbon floating on his body.
"Who is that person? It seems like, where have I seen him before?"
He frowned and thought hard, there was a vague impression of this person in his mind, and when he was about to think about it, he heard Coco and Sani beside him shout loudly.
"Look! It's Xiaosong and Sanji, they're here!"
Aru was interrupted like this, and the image that was about to appear in his mind disappeared. He shook his head, sat back, and shouted Xiaosong's name loudly.
At this moment, the host on the stage has enthusiastically begun to introduce the top chefs who have appeared.
"ladies and gentlemen!"
"Look! The first person to appear is the overlord of the last food festival and the permanent number one in the world's chef rankings. The legendary king of cuisine - Zeus!"
"He has won the first place in food festivals 14 times in the past! Ranked second in history! The No. 1 food that needs no introduction!"
In the stands, there was another burst of cheers that seemed to overturn the stadium.
Katakuri looked.
It was an old man with a gray beard and braids.
Wearing a red chef costume, his aura is extremely powerful, much stronger than most food hunters.
"Next, there is a national treasure-level gourmet who has won 29 food festivals, ranking first in history, and is now ranked second in the world's cuisine!"
"Jie is my mother-in-law!"
On the high platform, Alu and others had stood up and shouted loudly.
"Grandma Setsuno! You have to be merciful! If you get serious, this food festival will be over in a blink of an eye!"
"Look, this year's most popular new chef, Chef Komatsu, the head chef of the Gourmet Hotel, is here!"
"Starting from perfecting the century soup, to successfully simplifying the method of making medicinal rice cakes, and saving all mankind during the crisis of the four beasts, successfully ranking 88th on the ranking list!"
"Chef Komatsu is a rising star in the culinary world!"
"Following him is also this year's hot new chef, the deputy chef of the Gourmet Hotel, a top chef who had never heard of it until two months ago - Mr. Sanji!! "
...
Immediately afterwards, there was a bunch of messy introductions, and Dover and the others yawned.
Fortunately, they can still enjoy the delicious food in front of them.
Otherwise, Dover would have slipped away long ago.
"This damn place is really noisy."
Seeing that everyone in the stands was already looking forward to it, the host stopped talking.
"Then! Let's get started right away!"
"First is the first round of qualifying!"
"Freestyle swimming, cycling, running, embellished with a long-distance food race!"
"The name of the entire project is the Ironman Cooking Competition!"
In the crowd, Xiao Song was dumbfounded, and his eyes almost fell out of his sockets, "Eh??? Triathlon?"
The host continued to shout.
"In this cruel food era, as a top cook, speed, endurance, and flexibility are all indispensable!"
"Go! Show off your strong physical strength on this triathlon track!"
"In this qualifying competition, out of 100 chefs, 50 will be eliminated!"
Xiaosong felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his whole body was messy in the wind, like a salted fish that had lost his dream.
"Half of them will be eliminated at once?"
"It's over, it's over, I will definitely be eliminated in the first round!"
At this time, a strong big hand pressed on his shoulder. Xiaosong was startled and looked back.
But it was Sanji with a smile on his face.
He leisurely lit a cigarette for himself and blew out a smoke ring with a gentle voice.
"Don't worry, Xiaosong, I'm here."
