The wind was warm and the sun was shining, summer had finally come. I was already there for awhile though, the day being July 1st. The students began wearing their summer uniforms, too the pleasure of the class pervert Okajima. Korosensei at least had some honor and appreciated the summer issue of a swimsuit magazine rather than ogling his students. He spoke like a true gentleman. Luffy on the other hand was laughing at hoe they reminded him on some Sanji character. Robin thought about it and agreed chuckling. The other students had begun noticing that Luffy was mentioning a lot of people that no one had met before.

"Oh… I hadn't accounted for the fact that we'll be wearing short sleeves starting today." Sosuke said as he walked in. his arm was decorated with intricate black flowery designs and marking. It was…. A tattoo! Much to Koroasensei's horror. Flaunting his arm toward his peers, he continued. "I didn't want this left arm, which was sealed by the gods, to be revealed…" the entire class's jaw dropped at the sight of the beautiful designs while Luffy was in awe, exclaiming that it was awesome. Calming his audience, Sosule explained that it was not a permanent tattoo, but rather, a temporary type painted on and that it wasn't actual magic but just a drawing. "once you've set the henna, it can't come off for about a week."

"Ooh, that's something that they do in India right?" Karma asked interested.

"You know about it Karma-kun?"

"My parents are crazy about India and come back with henna tattoos whenever they travel there."

"O-oh good…." Korosensei then became docile about Sosuke's arm. "Sensei is definitely glad there aren't any students from this class turning delinquent." He said with a pile of books on teenage psychology and delinquency. Korosensei's most commonly weakness was his worrying about appearences. "If you'd like, how about I draw one on you too, Korosensei I still have some material left." Sosuke offered taking out the tube from his bag. "nyuuaa! Would you really?" korosensei no longer worried, but exited at the thought of decorating himself.

Nakamura commented that it was like chocolate as Sosuke demonstrated on an ordinary piece of paper. "I'm really looking forward to it. I've always wanted to try getting a pseudo-tattoo like this." Korosensei was all for such things when not a minute before he was frightened about delinquency. Suddenly Korosensei screamed, his face was melting off, frightening everyone watching, looking right out of a horror movie and giving everyone who had wanted the tattoo second thoughts. Isogai then found out the secret to Korosensei's melting revealing the trick to be anti-sensei bullet that were grounded into fine powder and mixed into the henna paint.

Korosensei managed to calm himself and address hiss students. "The idea is an interesting one, Sugaya-kun though it's effective as a pinprick." His skin was already recovering, the powder having barely penetrated. "… but I, really wanted you to draw a cool design on me normally…" Korosensei said putting his tentacles all over his face. Sosuke then apologized taking a normal tube telling korosensei that he would draw one for him with the normal solution. Luffy then said he wanted a tattoo of a phoenix on his arm. (much to the surprise of the class since they expected something childish out of his, Robin on the other hand was chuckling to herself as she knew what it meant.)

Not long after, bitch-sensei was coming to class, summer outfit showing lots of skin for the entire class to swoon, opened the door and shouted. "Revel in my charms, boysAUGHGHGH!" the entire class were covered in interesting designs thanks to Sosuke's skills. Bitch-sensei on the other hand was screaming "wh-why the hell are you all putting on monster makeup?!"

"Ah… everyone seemed to want me to put some on them after they saw mine." Sosuke confessed shamefully. "He said that the pigment will set in a little while, once we remove the paint. I'm so excited, I can't focus on class." Korosensei said with a compass-like flower on his cheek and leafy webs around his hat with another petal design on his forehead. Despite being the class homeroom teacher, korosensei was more pleased with his tattoos than anyone else.

"By the way Sugaya-kun, watching you draw those has made me want to try doing it to."

"Sure, but I ended up drawing on everyone already, so there aren't any blank canvas left."

Then there was a momentary eye contact made between korosensei, Sosuke and bitch-sensei. "That's one, isn't it… a large canvas area we can paint on to our heart's content." They both said together with a glint in their eyes. "Quit screwing around!" bitch-senei shouted "who would ever let-" she was cut off a she slipped on a puddle of henna on the floor as she backed away and bumped her head on the wall, knocking her out cold."

"Let's let her rest for now and while she's resting, I'll take this arm and Sugaya-kun can have that arm." Koro-sensei decided, Sugaya responded to Koro-sensei's challenge and it kind of turned into a mini competition between the two of them. Luffy then announced that he wanted to draw and settled for her leg.

Sosuke's arm looked classy with fancy designs of hearts, flowers, spirals and more like how he did for his classmates, knowing she'd be thanking him upon waking up. Korosensei on the other hand was… a manga about an octopus getting cooked under the guise of putting summer clothes, luckily Sosuke gave it nice borders and designs to add some class although, he doubt that she would be happy about it either way.

Luffy on the other hand, drew a strange assortment of people, his drawings were of mediocre chibi style, it was legible at least they could somehow see what it was despite being very messy. First there was a man with three sticks one in his mouth and the other two in each of his mouth each stick covered my swirls and a line across on his left eye, then there was a woman with long hair holding a long staff, a man with a long nose holding what looked like a bigger and custom version of a slingshot, a man with hair over one eye and a spiral for an eyebrow a stick in the mouth while raising a leg which looks like it was flaming, a… raccoon dog… no a reindeer? Judging from the horns protruding from the hat it was wearing. Beside it was a woman with long hair and lots of arms sprouting from the original crossed arms. Then there was a weird buff thing in Speedo, and colored arms, the last character was of a skeleton with an afro.

"Wow, Luffy. Those drawings are… creative' Nagisa was somehow unable to think of anything else to say. "Yup! I didn't make 'em up though. That's my crew! That one there is Robin. Hey, Robin do you like it?" Luffy turned around asking his teacher/ acquaintance while pointing at the image of her likeness.

"It's very nice, and you've improved Luffy. I can tell who everyone is supposed to be."

"yep! Ussop's been teaching me since he can't handle how bad my drawing is every time he sees them or so he said." Luffy said tilting his head to the side and putting a finger to his chin making him seem cute and everyone was trying to not be blinded by the ray of innocence that Luffy was radiating.

Then Nagisa realized something, became confused and decided to ask another question. "wait, why does she have so many arms?" in response, Luffy just smiled. Looked the other way. And sweated. He was keeping another secret. Nagisa then realized. If Robin is there, maybe these were also people from Luffy's past! Maybe this could help them learn more about him. before he could ask anymore questions, Bitch-sensei woke up

She looked at her body

She left the room

And returned with two VERY LARGE GUNS

And shouted "Die!"

Everyone started running in fear and hid behind desks while korosensei tried to intercept the bullets. Suddenly, someone jumped in front of all the guns. "Luffy! What are you doing?!" Nagisa shouted in concern for his safety. Though, to everyone's surprise his skin started stretching out a few feet in many spots. Those exact spots…. Was where he was getting shot at. "That won't work on me, I'm rubber~" he said in a sing song voice as every bullet shot back out to where it originally came from though not as fast as when they hit him.

"Wow, they're a lot more than I'm used to! The guns here are really fast. Still won't work though, shishishi!" Luffy declared and Nagisa sweatdropped. Luffy's strength as getting ridiculous, he was as mysterious as Korosensei well, at least he didn't want to destroy the planet.

Teaching Luufy was frustrating for Karasuma during gym class part of it was because he didn't care about using a knife, but mostly because he was dodging every single attack. Many of his techniques were sloppy, probably because it wasn't a style he never used a weapon before. (oh was he wrong) Yet, he could destroy them all in a fight. Karasuma envied the bliss of his students not knowing where he came from. Some were trying to figure things out bit if his original reaction was anything to go by, humans were better off not knowing such things existed (it was a huge shock when there was suddenly a tear in the air and two people suddenly walked into the governments office)

"Everyone line up I want to show you all a technique." Hearing that, the class ordered themselves and listened. "what trick are you gonna show us not, teach?" Karma asked. "actually this isn't my trick. Rather, it's something I've noticed one of you has. Come here Luffy." Obliging, Luffy walked up to Karasuma, infront of his peers. "now, Luffy, I want you to demonstrate that trick you shoed me."

"Okay. Gomu gomu no boh" Luffy's limbs went limp and his facial expression became… very stupid. In his thoughts, Karasuma wished that Luffy would not set that example when using the technique since one could surely do it with a normal expression. The students on the other hand were very confused, until, Karasuma thrust his knife at Luffy only for him to dodge to the side. As Karasuma's second and third slashed were faster Luffy would end up dodging creatively, bending, ducking all while with the stupid expression he had which made everyone chuckle and before long Karauma gave and Luffy returned to normal. "As you can see, Luffy is capable of dodging all of my strikes. While dodges aren't our priority, the skill will help you. If he was merely noticing my attacks and quickly moving away, it would have already been useful. But he's not thinking at he's only using his instincts. To be able to recognize someone's intentions and attacking patterns so completely will be absolutely necessary against someone who can dodge at mach 20. While the skill can be learned like that, dodging is too indirect. So instead, I want you to try and hit Luffy as the octopus mainly focuses on dodges instead of blocking, it'll help more than trying to hit me."

As the class prepared, Karasuma moved aside not before whispering to Luffy not to use haki to which he nodded.

As the training went on, Karasma was fairly pleased with his student's progress, they still weren't close to the strength of real assassins or soldiers, much less someone like Luffy, though few students showed potential. Isogai and Maehara got fairly close to landing a hit on Luffy by cutting of his dodging options. Karma despite coming off as a lay sort, he has a strong sense of mischief in his eyes, and probably the closest person to land a hit solo. For the girls, Okano a former member of the gymnastics club did a fair gob in catching Luffy off guard with movements he didn't expect, though it was not enough to tag him and Kataoka, someone with strength and stamina equal to the best of the boys, did impressively with the sheer speed of her strikes.

And then there's Koro-sensei. He is surely my ideal image of a teacher. Who would even think of killing such a noble man!

"Don't fabricate others thoughts. Get lost target." Karasuma ordered ad he threw a knife in the direction of the octopus trying to sneak self-praise into the inner monologue. Then there was the bratty trio Terasaka, Yoshia and Muramatsu. They may lack the enthusiasm and didn't seem to try anything since the grenade incident but each one had above average strength, if only they used it properly. Looking at the class as a whole, the student's assassination skills are improving at an exceptional rate. Although none of the students stand ou-

Luffy inner haki felt a evil presence behind him and threw a punch at where it was directed from and hit the person behind him, Nagisa, he was going for a hit from behind, but was still a few feet off.

"ow…."

"Oh, sorry Nagisa, you were hiding your intent to attack so well that I thought you were an enemy trying to hurt me. My bad" Luffy apologized as he help Nagisa up from the ground. "Ah- its okay, I'm fine." Nagisa replied as he took Luffy's outstretched arm and hauled himself up from the ground and dusted himself off. As the students walked off and jocked about their experience and Nagisa's pain, Karasuma silently wished that Luffy's strength could be transferred to someone with a greater desire to kill and save the planet

"karasuma, you have been assigned to this mission means that we value your skill. Your performance in the airborne forces was top-class, even as a demonic instructor you demonstrated your abilities and your espionage activities out of uniform were brilliant." Karasuma could tell after this praise, he would receive a complaint from his superior since it as a common tactic among those with subordinates to rule after all he used the same technique with his own men. As predicted it came. "But what of the current situation? You weren't able to make use of our secret weapon, the assassin transfer students. According to your reports, the android has nothing and the tuber child lacks any determination to succeed at this, and out special weapon had to leave immediately! Alright, the last one may have been out of your control, but no matter how great you may be, it would appear that between giving guidance to the assassins and training the students, this is too much for you to handle alone to handle alone. At present, we don't have the slightest inkling of how to assassinate him. He's even calmly washing the windows like this! We're definitely being underestimated!"

As he pointed out Korosensei could be seen through the clear floor to ceiling windows of Karasuma's superior's office in a window washing platform in a uniform. Karasuma would later recall his boss final words to him "in order to break this deadlock, we'll be adding one more member to your personnel. There is a man well suited for the job."

Karasuma stood inside the classroom while his students exercised on the field. Supposedly a former comrade was coming. Suddenly, the door slid open, revealing a very large buff man with a kind smile holding several boxes. "yo Karasuma!" said takaoka akira (too fugly that I don't want to put in proper caps) of the ministry of defense special services division. But without waiting for a reply, he walked out towards his new students with an open-mouthed smile. "hey there! My name's takaoka akira! Starting today, I'll be working here to help out Karasuma! Nice to meet you all class E!" he put down the boxes he was holding revealing an incredible assortment of pastries and junk food.

"wh-what the heck. There are cakes and drinks and stuff in here." Mimura said "these are éclairs from 'La Hermes'! Over here are 'Monchhichi' rolled cakes!" Kayano exclaimed as she looked into the boxes. "Is it alright to give us something that's so expensive?" Isogai questioned. "Sure, eat up! I planned to empty my wallet, so don't hold back! Please don't think of it as some sort of trap. I don't want to waste any time getting along with you guys. Plus, food taste better when you sit around and eat it with everyone!" Kataoka said continuining his wide smile.

Sure enough he was winning the class over. With his endearing love of sweets as a large man, and a kind attitude, he had Kayao ecstatic and Korosensei drooling while everyone else was smiling. Luffy though despite having such delicious food around he moved away and sat beside outside the classroom without anyone but Robin

"Even though you guys work together, you and Karasuma-sensei are completely different."

"You're kinda like a neighborhood father figure."

"Hahaha! That's not bad at all! Since we're gonna be in the same classroom, we're kinda like family, right?" he gave Nakamura and Mimura a hug over the shoulders. Meanwhile Karasuma was speaking with his co-worker inside the classroom "karasuma-san, you have a message from the chief." She explained "he would like you to solely focus on providing outside guidance to the assasins. It appears that… Takaoka-san will handle all things related to the students training from now on." The agent's voice then took on a worried tone as she sweated a small amount. "As a fellow member of the Ministry of Defence, I worry for the students." As Karasuma pondered just what Takakoka's intentions were, his thought was interrupted by Luffy saying "I think you should heed your nakama's advice, the dessert ossan is dangerous."

Before she had met the straw hats Nico Robin had spent her entire life hiding her troubles beneath the surface, so she could often tell when somebody was doing the same. It helped that she was listening in when Karasuma's subordinate said that Takaoka was an extremely deviant and that her captain treated him like an enemy all but confirmed that the bubbly kindness he exuded was some form of façade.

When he told class E that he'd be managing their physical education and called himself the father of the family they'd become, Robin doubted that he saw any meaning to the word family other than using it to dictate and bind people to him. so Robin used her powers to listen to both the student's chatter and the words Takaoka and Karasuma shared while she went to find out more about the new teacher with Luffy following her to try to help.

Meanwhile the gossip was rampant.

"What do you think?" Chiba asked

"meh. I like Karasuma-senei better." Kurahashi answered, sweating from their exercise.

"But, there's really no way of telling what Karasuma-sensei is thinking, y'know. He's always got that stern expression, and if we invite him over to eat or play around he would reject the offer, he could at least hang out with us once in a while. On that note, Takaoka-sensei is just a naturally friendly guy. This training might end up being a real blast all the time." Okajima chimed in

"And it's the same with Nico-sensei, at least bitch-sensei tells us some raunchy stories that relates to us, in her own strange ways. Nico-sensei just teaches and leaves mysteriously. The only one of she talks to is Luffy and that does not make her anymore normal." Sugino remarked.

"Well, she does joke sometimes. Except most of them are really dark and disturbing and it ruins our appetite as we always have history before lunch!" Okajima added

"I don't know about you guys but I think that they're really funny." Karma said

'Only you, Karma only you.' Was in the minds of everyone as they sweat dropped.

Robin heard everyone of those comments as they walked back to the schoolhouse. She couldn't help but feel amused by the student's reaction to her 'jokes'. She removed the ears she had hidden arund them and focused on the ones inside of the classroom, where the former and current physical education teachers were talking

"I saw the results of your training earlier, Karasuma." Takaoka said as they spoke inside the classroom. Bitch-sensei was leaning against the opposite wall, Robin and Luffy were standing outside in the hall, although Robin already had a couple of eyes and ears already observing the exchange inside the classroom.

"After 3 months worth, they should be much further along. In the army it would have only taken a month to reach their current level."

"Don't confuse them with professional soldiers." Karasuma replied "their primary role is that of junior high students. Anymore training than that, and it would interfere with their studies."

"geez. You're so laid back, even though the future of the world is at stake!" Takaoka started taking out a couple of photos from his coat pocket. He showed the one of the pictures, four men with defined chest and small smiles to the camera while Takaoka hugged the two o them with a grin. "When an instructor gives his all, it gets his pupils fired up! The training might be a little harsh, but the students respond to a little enthusiasm like that." He said cheerily "you just wait. We'll have your head in no time korosensei! I'll finish turning the students into first rate assassins faster than karasuma would!" with that said, he dropped the photograph on the table and went outside to continue the students training. As Takaoka left the classroom, both Robin and Luffy walked inand headed to the table Takaoka left the photos on

"nurufufufu. What a naïve sensei." korosensei chuckled. "I don't want to hear that from the one that was fed sweets." Karasuma said. Korosensei then stared at the opening of the window. "as far as gym class is concerned, since both of you are so adamant about it, I'll leave the matter to you. That being said, I'm not going to criticize this change of leadership. But you are class E's gym teacher, Karasuma-sensei. I believe it can't be anyone else but you." With that, he climbed out and flew off to find some exotic treat from a far away country. "He seems to have quite a bit of faith in you, Karasuma-san." Robin said as both she and Luffy were leaning against the wall in the classroom "some men can expect so much from their comrades and somehow gain the results they want with mere encouragement."

Karasuma kept quiet and didn't respond.

"But that's not so simple when his expectations were so vague. Takaoka has yet to do anything wrong." Robin continued "but still are you really alright with this?" Bitch-sensei asked "that guy's personality seems forced." Still nothing was said so Irina left the classroom. Karauma with the company of Robin and Luffy continued to watch as Takaoka trained the students. He acted as if they were together, as a team. Playing the ham to make them laugh, cheerfully shouting to keep up the spirits. He was magnificently winning them over. It appeared he was able to properly differentiate between the students and army troops.

Reflecting on the empty room, Karasuma wondered if his methods were wrong all along. He always tried to distinguish himself from his students, keeping professional, staying at a distance. Yet, being a family seems to have exited the students about learning. Then there was a huge amount of bloodlust behind him, he turned to see Luffy radiating that bloodlust and sat down with his hat covering part of his face. his visible eye was staring out into the field where the students and Takaoka was

Robin was not looking at him or her captain she was looking at the photo beside the one that was shown to Takaoka in horror. Karasuma walked over to the table where the photo was and picked up the photo in question, when he saw what the photo was, he had an equivalent amount of fear as Robin had. The photo that made Luffy so angry, Robin and Karasuma have fear in their body was of the same trainees that was in the previous photo, hand bound with rope, back and arms covered in scars and bleeding marks, all around Takaoka's happy face.

Outside, Takaoka had handed a brand new schedule to the unsuspecting 3-E students. There were a few typical periods in the day of standard school subjects. But… nearly every day until 9p.m was training

"You're kidding, right?!" "10 periods…" "Training till 9pm..." some of the students exclaimed their thoughts. "That much is given." Takaoka announced "I got the board chairman's approval as well. He said that the earth is in a time of crisis, so there's no helping it." Takaoka extended his arms and continued with a smile on his face as if he was telling them the best news in the world "if we follow this curriculum, your abilities will grow by leaps and bounds. So without further delays…"

"Just a… hold on a second! This schedule is impossible!" Maehara shouted.

He elaborated to Takaoka's confused face. though everyone was quiet in disbelief and fear, he was being brave and lashing out "if this is all the time we'll get to study our grades will drop! The board chairman knew that and he approved it! There's no time for us to have fun either! There's no way in hell we can do this!" then without warning Takaoka's knee went straight into Maehara's stomach

"It's 'we will' not 'we can't'." Takaoka's smile did not falter "I told you right? That in our 'family', I am the father. Is there a single family in the world where the father's orders aren't absolute?" As Maehara retched, the rest of the class cowered in fear.

That was the last straw for Luffy, his bloodlust burst through the roof and started walking past Karasuma with his hat covering his eyes as he jumped through the window and walked towards where the rest of the students were. Karasuma on the other hand was frozen in the spot by Luffy's bloodlust and remembered what his subordinate told him about Takaoka. In the armed forces, he was inferior and resorted to instruction of trainees as something to excel in. he produced elite, loyal troops in short periods of time by connecting them as a family, and at the same time standing atop a dictatorial regime as a violent father.

Apparently he planned to do the same to middle school students.

"Okay! First up is three sets of 100 squats each," Takaoka said with a clap. Terrified and shaking, the students obliged "anyone who wants to quit is free to do so, though, if you do I'll use my authority to fill the gap with a new student. There are plenty strong soldiers that I raised personally with loving care. Even if one or two of you are replaced, that octopus won't run away. But… I really don't want to do that. You're all my precious family, after all. As the father, I don't want to lose even a single one of you. Let's all save earth from this crisis together, as a family! Okay?" he hugged two students as he once did before but his time it instilled fear.

Fear itself was a key part of Takaoka's method. It was the partner of affection, with the ratio of 9:1 constant fear to make a small reward worth seeping joy over. Kanzaki however was crying. "alright? You'll follow your father, won't you?" Takaoka questioned her "…w… well, um," then, with a smile as out of place as her 'fathers' she answered "I'd rather have class with Karasuma-sensei."

Suddenly there was a quick lurching movement, Kanzaki flinched expecting a hit but none came as something stopped his arms from making the movement and a second he was on the ground. Kanzaki looked up and saw Luffy standing in front of her, back facing her and all the while bloodlust was radiating from him.

Takaoka brushed himself off as he got up. For a second, he looked down hiding his face. But his grin turned into an angry scowl. 'Children who are violent their father is the worst crime they can commit." His eyes wide and filled with madness as he laid eyes on Luffy "no matter, children who do worse than disobey their father, we will give them what they want and let our fist do the talking.

Another chapter done!
