Chapter 13 - CHAPTER 13 — The Kitchen of the Gods POV: Alex → Sanji → Naruto/Luffy/Goku → Entire Cast → Alex

🔶 POV: Alex (Third-Person)

The golden double doors sweep open.

Light spills out—warm, radiant, almost holy.

The Infinite Dining Hall stretches outward and upward, a cathedral of culinary impossibility:

Tables in spiraling tiers

Floating platforms for high-gravity species

Low-gravity zones for Saiyans

Chakra-stabilized zones for ninjas

A whole ocean-like section for fish-men

And an entire galaxy of light forming the ceiling

The smell hits everyone at once.

Aroma so divine it could snap gods to their knees.

And three idiots to their faces.

🔶 POV: Sanji (First-Person)

I fall to my knees.

I—I can't breathe.

This is food.This is real food.This is what food was supposed to be.This is the peak of the universe,the pinnacle of cuisine,the Omega Point of cooking.

This is—

THIS IS THE HOLY LAND OF CHEFS.

My soul leaves my body for a moment and ascends.

I see nothing but light.

I hear nothing but the gentle sizzling of perfection.

My hands tremble.

"I—I…"I whisper, voice shaking,"…I'll never be this good."

My world ends.

My pride ends.

My reason to live ends.

I am broken.

A man shattered by flavor he hasn't even tasted yet.

I crawl to Alex.

"GIVE ME A MANUAL," I beg."PLEASE—I NEED—A MANUAL—HOW DO I COOK LIKE THEM—"

🔶 POV: Alex (Third-Person)

Alex looks down at the man on his knees.

"…Manual?"

He tilts his faceless head.

"Sanji.I am going to be completely honest.I don't have a manual."

Silence.

Sanji's soul cracks audibly.

Alex continues:

"These chefs are a part of my hive mind.They cook the way I tell them to.And their baseline… is cooking like the personal chefs of gods."

Sanji stops breathing.

Alex pats him gently on the head.

"If you want to cook like that…then simply cook like that.Eventually."

Sanji internally dies.

🔶 POV: Goku (First-Person) 🔶 POV: Naruto (First-Person) 🔶 POV: Luffy (First-Person)

The smell hits us.

Heaven.

We are in heaven.

No—Better than heaven.

This is the place souls WANT to go when they DIE.

My eyes widen.

My pupils dilate.

I feel the warm touch of divinity.

And we all say it at the same time:

"WE ARE IN HEAVEN.THE GODS OF CHEF HAVE BLESSED US WITH THEIR ALL-POWERFUL MERCINESS."

Then we pass out.

Immediately.

Face-first.

🔶 POV: Sakura (First-Person)

WHAT.

THE.

HELL.

🔶 POV: Bulma (First-Person)

Why are they praying to FOOD!?

🔶 POV: Kakashi (First-Person)

This is…this is concerning.

🔶 POV: Jiraiya (First-Person)

What kind of religious awakening did they just have!?

🔶 POV: Usopp (First-Person)

Are they forming a FOOD CULT!?

🔶 POV: Vegeta (First-Person)

Kakarot embarrassment level: catastrophic.

🔶 POV: Robin (First-Person)

The way they fainted…almost synchronized…haunting.

🔶 POV: Alex (Third-Person)

The three idiots lie unconscious at his feet.

Alex leans down casually.

"I can't believe it.You three were right."

Everyone freezes.

Alex continues:

"These are divine foods.And those chefs are the personal chefs of gods."

Naruto, Luffy, and Goku regain consciousnessin a violent burstof spiritual excitement.

Then immediately faint again.

The adults scream.

The ninjas backpedal.

The Straw Hats yell.

The Saiyans stare.

And Alex—

—laughs.

Laughs like a maniac.Echoing.Unhinged.Delighted.

A faceless ten-foot-tall avatar laughing harder than any mortal should.

Everyone stops.

Everyone stares.

Everyone is horrified.

Except Alex.

He's having the time of his life.
