Food Wars: The Golden Hands

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

Italy - Night Time - Duomo di San Martino

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

Four black cars parked in the dead middle of the night in front of the famous Bell Tower in Lucca Province‎. Dozen of men got out of the car with a very angry Sebastian, the man who demanded control over city Viareggio. He entered the tower alone leaving his man guarding the entrance.

As he stepped in the dimly lighted building, he saw three people inside. One man as large as the hulk with another slim man. In the middle, an Asian man with black hair is looking at the statue in front of them with appreciation.

"I have come back. Haru." Sebastian spoke, his voice held a rather harsh tone.

Haru smiles and chuckles slightly "Let me guess...He humiliated you?" Haru turned to look at Sebastian.

"..." Sebastian nodded and walked closer to him "You were right. I will get no justice from the Helmet Family." he said.

"How can you get it when they have killed every other higher up in the Romano Familia. Be thankful that you loyal to Roberto." Haru stands up and met Sebastian in the middle of the room. In his hand, he is playing with a gold chain to pass time.

"And Roberto is not here. Not anymore." Sebastian thought of everything he did for the Familia and he was rewarded in the end.

"Does that mean you will join me?" Haru asked. He looked carefully at Sebastian's body language not missing anything.

"Half in..." Sabastian added after him making Haru look confused "I can't just join you to kill the Helmet family without guaranteeing the success." Sebastian continued. Haru smiled and put his arm on Sebastian's shoulder.

"It is your right. I am sure of my success, I have waited for years for another strike on them. If their young head fell down, the helmet family will not have any other competent leader in the future." Haru started circling around Sebastian as he speaks "If Alexander is dead, the next in line is Alfie, an idiot with no talent for business or strategies, he is nothing but a muscle brain, his downfall will come by his anger, laying a trap for him is the easiest thing for me. Next, Alfred may come back to lead the family, but even then, he is smart enough to not immediately go after us, giving us enough time to prepare for him. And judging by his age, I don't think he has that much of time in his life."

Sebastian was listening with attention, until, Haru presented no plan, just theories "Let us say, we killed Alexander now. Then killed Alfie and after him, we either kill Alfred or he dies by old age...What comes after that?" he asked.

"After that...comes the internal war of the Helmet family, a war that no family survives, powerful servants will try to take the throne but only gets killed by the loyal ones in the process, the family's power will go down like a waterfall. And in the middle of their war, we take them by surprise and start taking their territory, each by each." Haru said.

Sebastian laughs "I admit, you do have an imagination! but...How are you going to kill Alexander, your first step for all of this? Don't tell me you are expecting that you will just walk on to him and shoot him in the head." Sebastian started to become suspicious, Haru's words are like honey, but with his experience, he would not be fooled. "You only gave me theories up till now...What about Kaido? Shanks? Keanu? Vlad? Neo? Alfie? they all surround Alexander at all times. One moment they are away from him by hundreds of kilometers, the next moment they are all around him like bees. You never know where they are, you think that they are in some city then they suddenly pope out from nowhere. Don't make remind you they are all human modified beings. With what are you going to take them out?"

"I have a relative in China, he is keeping Shanks and Alfie with Keanu busy there for me while Kaido is in Russian protecting the Manor. The only one here in Italy is Vlad. He is the only threat" Haru massaged Sebastian's shoulder and turned him to look at the Hulk man.

Haru nods at the hulk behind him "Jiren...Show our friend here what you can do." The Hulk man called Jiren walked to the steel statue of the saint on the wall and jumped high to face it before delivering a powerful punch that sent a shockwave through the building as if an earthquake was happening. When Sebastian looked at where Jiren punched, a huge hole on the wall was displayed with the other side of the street insight.

"Humf! this is so easy!" Jiren roared.

Haru smiled and looked back at Sebastian who was dumbfounded 'So this is what human-modified can do!' he thought.

"Mind you that not only Jiren. But me and Sakazuki there also have the same strength." Haru added

Sebastian trembled and fell to the floor. Now it was no longer a choice.

The Beach - Asahi's Hideout

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

Erina started to gain back her consciousness, she opened her eyes slowly and raised her head. Her mouth was sealed and her arms were tied to her chair.

"Good morning, princess!" Asahi spoke to Erina. He was sitting on a couch with his legs stretched far in front of his lazily.

Erina didn't speak and just looked around her, she noticed 5people in the room. Asahi, behind him, is a black-haired man with round glasses, to his left, a blond man with a mustache drinking probably alcohol. Then, the closest person to her right is a girl wearing something close to military general uniform and holding on her shoulder a chainsaw?! Who the hell is this girl? Erina thought. And to her left is a man wearing a mask on his face. 'Those are all Noir Chefs...' She thought.

"What is the meaning of this? Saiba Asahi." Erina looked straight into Asahi's eyes, disgust and hatred are clear in her eyes.

"Ohh! so scary, I like you that way." Asahi chuckled. "But there is no need to fret, I did not bring you here to harm you," he said. Erina didn't react to him and just stared at him trying to make a hole in his head. "I just brought you here to let you know a few things about me. After that, there is something I'd like to tell you and talking here makes things easier. I considered inviting you here but I doubted that you'd comply."

"Damn right I won't!" Erina lost it and snapped "Who the hell do you think yourself to kidnap me and bring me to only god knows where!"

"Calm down...Ah! by the way, this is the guy that kidnapped you." Asahi introduced the guy behind him who was all smiles. They don't seem to be affected by her anger at all.

"Just say what you want already. I couldn't care less for who that Staler is!" Erina scuffed at them.

"Yeah yeah. Let's get to business..." Asahi cleared his throat and looked at her seriously "well, I challenge you to a shokugeki. If I win, you must swear to become my wife." he said.

Erina froze in her place, her eyes looked at Asahi with disgust and pity "Poor man..." tears started falling from her eyes "It seems that your brain has not matured making you speak words as those like a child." Asahi frowned at her and felt a little angry, something he didn't feel for years.

"My brain is mature enough." Asahi corrected her.

"Then how come you don't know I am engaged to your own brother. Yes, poor guy. I shall contact the hospital for you as soon as possible."

"Engaged, Yes. Married? No. So you're safe." Asahi tried to ignore Erina's remarks as much as possible.

"Oh lord! Your brain is already dead!" Erina covered her lips with a sad expression. She will cry you know!

Outside of the hut, four people were looking inside with stealth from the window. Alfie was on the ground laughing with Vlad putting his hand on his mouth trying to suppress his voice as much as possible. Alexander was too trying to not laugh as his body trembled.

"Shouldn't we get in?" Keanu spoke.

"Yeah. Let us get in." Alexander said and walked for the door.

Inside. "This year's blue competition will witness a showdown between light and dark to see who is fitting to lead the next generation." Asahi said. "Once I have defeated you and everyone else, that stage will be our wedd--"

"ALRIGHT!! This is a robbery, everyone put your hands up in the air!" Alfie burst into the room with a gun in his hand. Asahi and his company were shocked seeing Alfie. Asahi's friends came to him and guarded him.

After Alfie, Alexander, Keanu, and Vlad entered.

"Good Lord, do you have to be this much extra at all times?" Vlad pushed his glasses and looked at Alfie with a tired stare.

"I am the only comic relief in your sad lives." Said Alfie with a huge grin.

Alexander walked to Erina and untied her. Erina gave him a huge, she looked at Asahi and gave him a mocking smile before kissing Alexander with everything she got. Alfie started whistling and shouted, "Get a room!".

Alexander was surprised by Erina, this is a new Erina for him. But nevertheless, he sighed and hugged her tightly before shifting his gaze at the raging Asahi and his bunch "I think I have made myself clear that time. This one here is mine and only. And to make sure you don't forget like the last time." Alexander looked Keanu and Vlad "Make them blue and gree," He said. Keanu and Vlad nodded and cracked their limbs before walking to the group of Noir Chefs.

"Let's go, babe." Alexander carried Erina in a princess manner and took her to the car where they continued making out.

Inside the hut, a loud sound of a chainsaw could be heard and screams of pain, and occasionally Alfie's cheering "Go Keanu! Go Vlad! Team Helmet is the best!"

"ALFIE SHUT UP!!!" Vlad shouted as he took the chainsaw from the girl and throw it on him.

By 10 minutes, torturing Asahi and his group ended and the guys returned to the car. They returned to the hotel where they spent the night after being joined by Alice.

The first day of the end of the term exam ended on a high note.

Alexander, Sanji, and Komatsu's team revenue is 0$.

Will they be able to pass their obstacles and pass the exam knowing that in the shadows, Alexander's life is in danger?
