---One week later---
After a week of being closed to the masses, Infinity Castle Restaurant opened its doors once again. Though the time was short, it was enough for the destroyed branches to form its foundation again. Also, the situation of the restaurant was even more absurd after a week of not eating the food created inside as it made the people craver and hungrier as if the ordinary restaurant was no longer enough for them.
With such effect, Infinity Castle Restaurant immediately became crowded after its opening as people continued to enter inside as they could no longer wait to eat something that would make them full and happy. Retroactively, Sakie and all the staff completely immersed themselves in working as the customers kept on lining up.
On the other hand, after a week of preparation, Lev together with his summons is now once again heading somewhere but this time, they are heading for a vacation in a particular place located in the Liquor Sea, a sea of which many different kinds of liquors, such as wine, whiskey, beer, etc.
'M-Master, I think I may not be able to serve you once again. blurggghh." While flying, a voice suddenly sounded inside Lev's mind which immediately froze him up causing Mamako and the others to look at him with curiosity.
"Erza, guide everyone to the place. I have something to do for a while. Wait for me there. White Fang, let's go!" Lev ordered and immediately ordered White Fang to detour and disappear afterward.
"L-Lev, wai—" Erza wanted to ask something but could no longer do it seeing the disappearance of Lev and White Fang in front of them. Seeing how he left with haste, something of great importance must have happened that he couldn't even tell what the problem was.

City of Hope,
Lev immediately used Flying Thunder God Technique and appeared back in the City of Hope. However, he was still in haste as they left the place immediately and went to the surface to find someone in the area.
The expression on Lev's face was very bad and serious at the moment. The person the voice came from was none other than Yuujirou, the summon he had left behind in Area 7 to deal with the Monkey King, Bambina. Hearing his voice, he could tell that he must have suffered a severe injury that could make him say such a thing.
"Find him, White Fang!" Lev ordered. He could actually summon Yuujirou immediately, but he thought that if he did without knowing his situation first, something undesirable might happen so he decided to fly off since he knew that with White Fang's speed, he still could make it as he wouldn't allow such a thing bad to happen to Yuujirou.
Following that, Lev and White Fang fastened their way to the surface and released all their sensors for which the former was already getting his preparation thinking that a fight might probably happen upon their arrival.

---Five minutes Later---
Area 7,
After more than a decade, Lev once again came back to the place where he had trained for forty years. However, he was not in the mood to look and appreciate the place as his attention was very focused on a particular location. Not before long, his eyes immediately shined in a blue hue.
"White Fang, secure Yuujirou and get him back to the City of Hope. Take this medicine and help him. I'll handle the rest." Lev, with his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception activated, stood up and held Zabimaru Infinities. Following the activation of the skill, he could see the different side of the world as everywhere he looked, countless lines made up everything.
"Yes, Master." White Fang answered before taking the medicine Lev gave her to her mouth. She didn't even question his order since she felt like Lev was very serious this time around and probably wanted to solve the problem with his own hand instead of ordering her to do it.
Meanwhile, in a particular mountain in Area 7, Yuujirou could be seen hanging with his hands being held by a creature that resembled a large baboon monkey with ruffled fur around his head, back, and shoulders as well as around the arms. Looking closely, Yuujirou no longer had his one arm and one leg and only one way through death however, his willpower still kept on making him awake.
"Y-You're one hell of a m-monster." Yuujirou muttered with his powerless body while looking at none other than the King of this area, Bambina, the Monkey King. After being left in this place, he challenged and challenged every creature that he could see. With that, he managed to defeat all the Enbu Masters that ruled the area, but he never would have thought that there was a complete difference in power after he challenged the King himself which resulted in this situation.
Meanwhile, Bambina himself only grinned before losing interest while looking at Yuujirou. After a long period of time, he felt like he finally had someone who could play with him but seeing Yuujirou's almost-dead state made him feel disappointed once again. He then just raised his other hand wanting to play one last game but before he could start, his attention immediately fell sideward as he let go of Yuujirou's hand.
"Universal Breathing: Twin Waning Moonswaths." Lev's voice entered both Bambina and Yuujirou's ears when two sudden stream of long-ranged crescent-shaped vertical and horizontal slashes along with numerous crescent moon blades flew their way towards their location.
Bambina, moved by his instincts. He blocked the attack by using his hands like a shield, but contrary to his expectation, the power behind the attack was so powerful that it moved him backward for several meters.
"White Fang. I'll leave Yuujirou to your hands." Lev ordered. He didn't even glance at Yuujirou's state as he ran off following the direction in which Bambina flew off. Despite the critical condition of Yuujirou, the excitement of his face was clearly showing seeing him smiling widely while he was holding his weapon.
"Be careful and enjoy yourself, Master." White Fang replied before taking Yuujirou out of the place as they flew through the place leaving behind Lev. Meanwhile, Yuujirou looked absentmindedly at the surroundings as he could feel his consciousness fading but a trace of a smile could be seen on his face as he knew his Master had come to his rescue.
"Don't wor—" Before Lev could finish his words, he felt a sudden threat which he immediately put on his swords to his left side and there he saw Bambina's tail colliding with it. The power behind the tail was something he was surprised by as he felt like he had collided to something hard.
"aaahhhhhh." Lev shouted and used every ounce of his strength as he blocked and parred off the tail. After that, he then immediately recovers his stance and looks towards Bambina who he sees smiling at him in the distance.
"Universal Breathing." Lev didn't run this time as he corrected his stance before breathing deeply while holding Zabimaru Infinities in his hands. He looked at Bambina with great focus before he dashed forward with great speed all the while creating two dragon auras made of flame and thunder around him.
Bambina looked at Lev interestingly which he didn't evade and planned on taking it head-on with his bare arms. The feeling that someone came to play with him excites him much more than the person he played with earlier.
"Honoikazuchi no Kami." "Rengoku." Arriving in front of Bambina, Lev looked at the lines through his Eyes of Death Conception before trying to pierce through his weapons into Bambina who was strengthened by the breathing technique itself added by Armament Haki and Sword Aura.
As if two metals collided, a piercing sound echoed but contrary to Lev's expectation, it only pierced through Bambina's arm and didn't manage to pierce through his chest. Furthermore, all of his hair suddenly rose up as he looked at the expression on Bambina's face.
"S-Shit." Lev cursed upon seeing a sudden beam come out from Bambina's mouth. Even with his Observation Haki, the speed for which Bambina attacked was completely out of his abilities' reach so he could not prepare for it and could only brace for impact.
A line of beams plummeted Lev and crashed him through the nearby mountain. Though it was a point-blank attack, Lev still managed to retract his sword and use it to block the beam but considering how sudden and powerful it was, he took everything all the way to the mountain and destroyed it.
....Boom...
The destruction of the attack was very massive considering that it completely destroyed a whole mountain leaving Lev in the center with his two hands still shaking with his eyes piercing through several kilometers and staring at Bambina.
"That was quite dangerous." Lev muttered as he breathed before looking at the Zabimaru Infinities in his hand. In that couple of blows, he realized that fighting against Bambina while using a sword was quite a challenge as Bambina was very agile and moved like a human.
"Looks like using one's fists was the most appropriate in the battle." Lev said as he put the two weapons back into his inventory before getting off the ragged clothes he had and started massaging his shoulder while he kept on staring at Bambina on the other side.
Without further ado, Lev immediately moved at great speed and landed in front of Bambina whose true form had finally resurfaced. He looked at him with a smile before transforming into a five-tail fox state. It was the same with Bambina seeing him smiling widely while looking at Lev with happiness and excitement.
Following that, a huge untouchable vortex suddenly formed in the atmosphere above Lev and Bambina which caused all the surrounding beasts to run away from fear. This phenomenon is called an Emperor Ring and it only appears when two prominent predators meet and battle each other. Meanwhile, all the other Kings living in their respective areas looked in the direction they resided as they sensed two strong auras fighting against each other.

Heavy Drinker Archipelago,
Resides at the center of the Liquor Sea in the Human World, a group of unique islands can be seen. They were unique in the way that all the islands resemble different kinds of drinkware, like wine glasses and champagne stems. Just like its name and appearance, all the ingredients that can be found here are alcoholic, so the island is prohibited to those under the age of 20.
Meanwhile, on a particular island in the place, a man could be found dipping in a pond while looking at the sky. This particular man was one of the Heavenly Kings, Sunny. It wasn't to his taste coming to this kind of place, however, due to his Old Man's order, he could only force his body to go.
"Training, huh." Sunny muttered lifelessly as he was specifically ordered to come to this place to undergo training under Lev after being told that the Toriko, Coco, and even Zebra already have finished their training with him.
"Hmmm." Sunny suddenly reacted upon seeing six flying creatures in the sky. Seeing beasts in the sky was rather a normal thing, however, what made him react was that he could see familiar people riding on top of them.
"Is that them?" Sunny asked before he stood up and got on the shore. Following that, he just took out some clothes on his storage ring, wore them, and then left the place. Looking closely, the place, or more specifically, the island, he was in was filled with nothing but different kinds of wine which made the place glistening and beautiful to look at.
