ezru: He is ooc in this, but I think it's more realistic for the story to have him this way. Cannon Luffy is very one dimensional in my opinion. He's been through so much yet never has any long term effects, no worries about almost anything, from any of it, which just doesn't seem realistic to me. So I'm keeping his "normal" in this one. And there's no reason and no way for this crossover to do anything with the cannon plot of OP.

mixioner538: Thank you! Yeah, this is just the beginning of his suffering lol.

Dacarl: lol, right here.

More people introduced in this one!

Luffy snuggled his face into his blankets, smelling of the detergent they used. He was finally home. He texted everybody, but got no answers. It made him a bit alarmed, that all of them didn't answer with something so urgent.

Then he checked the news on his phone, making sure there was no video attached that he might see quirks from, and read about his classmates being attacked by villains at USJ, a training ground that UA used sometimes.

He read it, and was thankful to get to the bottom of one of the articles and read that none of the students were killed. It was a new group of villains. A lame name but the League of Villains. Hawks wasn't anywhere near U.A., so he wasn't called in. Plus, they had All Might with them. He wondered if he would have been any help.

Well, he clearly wasn't needed since they made it through the attack on their own. Luffy wouldn't be at UA again until next year. He shouldn't get involved with stuff like that much. But he stayed up as long as he could waiting for any updates or replies.

"Luffy, I have ingredients for curry," Hawks called. Luffy jolted off of the bed and ran to the kitchen and did as he promised. Cooked way too much food for two people, filling the entire bar counter without a complaint from Hawks at all.

Luffy only left the apartment to fly again, Hawks helping him out in case he was stiff and needed assistance. But after thoroughly stretching, he was flying back to normal. He hadn't flown like this in two months and it was wonderful. It distracted himself from the worry about his former classmates.

He'd gotten messages back, and everyone was happy for him, and told him about USJ and what they went through. To be honest, he was glad he got out before that mess started. When he and Hawks were on their way back after an hour of flying around the outskirts of the city, high above the buildings, he said, "Shiketsu hasn't started school yet. They start a lot later than UA If you want to try a second chance."

Luffy's eyes widened. "It might not happen if the goggles don't work, but better safe than sorry, right?" the pro-hero asked, looking to the side to see Luffy nod vigorously. "They start three weeks from now. You already have your costume after I picked it up. But if you want to return to UA it might be jarring."

"I don't care which school anymore, I don't want my own quirk to hold me back like this," Luffy said in a strong voice. Hawks said, "Thought so". When they got back, Luffy immediately enrolled online, submitting his scores from UA and recommendation to them. It was lucky the UA test was similar to other school's. He wouldn't need to retake the test.

He got an answer the next day, them accepting him and giving him paperwork about the school he didn't have. It was a convenient reply and nice and quick. He couldn't wait, but he was nervous he wouldn't have what he needed in time.

It only took a week for Hawks to bring up a plastic box that was pretty heavy. He set it on the floor in the living room. "It's for you," he said. Luffy unlatched the lid and pulled it up to see Styrofoam. He pulled it off and saw multiple types of goggles and glasses. There was one identical to the face shield he had for his hero costume, regular sunglasses, goggles for snow environment, swim goggles and a bike helmet.

He put on the sunglasses and saw slightly tinted blue that didn't affect his vision much. He could get used to it. "How do we test it?" Luffy asked nervously, so afraid it wouldn't work. Hawks said he had a friend come over to patrol with him.

"He's gonna come up here to get a cupcake you made and you'll watch him use his quirk. Once he leaves, you see if you can use it, and then text me the outcome," Hawks explained. Luffy nodded, and tried on the other ones. They were all pretty comfortable. He asked how much they cost.

"An appropriate amount for you to be able to leave the house without writhing in agony." A way of Hawks telling him he didn't give a shit about the cost.

Luffy looked around with the glasses, seeing what everything looked like with them on. He would need to wear these everywhere besides home.

Well, if it made him able to be around other people without needing freaking surgery, then who cares? They were comfortable anyway. He brought the tub to the bathroom and looked in the mirror for each one.

It was Hawks break right now, bringing it up to him. But he had to go back down. "I'll message you when my friend and I are coming up. It'll be nice and short." Luffy nodded, thanking him. "Of course, this shouldn't be surprising."

Luffy smiled and said it shouldn't be. He grinned and left. Luffy sat on the couch, and started reading with the glasses on. It was two hours later that Hawks brought his friend up. His quirk was obvious, he had scales on his arms and legs and webbed fingers. Would be easy to see if he stored it.

He introduced himself as Absolute Zero. Luffy wondered why, and had never heard of him. "I hear you cook?" Luffy nodded, saying someone had to do it around there, but in a joking voice. Hawks admitted he was a shit cook compared to Luffy. "The cupcake is in the fridge." He had made them on his baking spree after the cooking spree that got them enough leftovers for lunch and dinner for three days in a row.

There were still many desserts in the fridge, and Absolute Zero tried the cupcake before eating the whole thing enthusiastically. Luffy was glad he liked it. After talking a bit more, he went down to patrol with Hawks. The moment from the front door was closed, Luffy attempted to use that ability. Nothing happened. He knew it was supposed to form, knew the feeling, but it just didn't.

He went to the couch and sat down, hunched over and having a watery smile. Maybe… maybe this would work. It had to. Or else he would get all of those extra quirks removed, no matter how long it took, no matter how long it depressed him to be there. He would be a hero and help Hawks and repay him for everything he'd done.

Luffy didn't want to be a sidekick just cause he wanted to repay him. Luffy wanted to stay with the only person who had shown him true kindness when he was homeless and hated the world. Even if he moved out when he was older, he still wanted to see the pro-hero often. And Hawks hadn't made him want to be a hero at all, Luffy just went that way without trying or noticing until he was sure.

-x-

Luffy wore his flying glasses while walking around with Hawks on patrol, looking closely at everyone with a quirk. None of them registered, his brain didn't process these quirks and he had definitely seen over 20, the maximum capacity he had at the moment.

He went out every day, either with Hawks or by himself and made sure, over and over, that he didn't react to them. He'd been doing this for a week already and it was going perfectly. The glasses or goggles were a minor inconvenience that wasn't even worth complaining about to himself. It was necessary, and they were very high quality. He'd dropped the glasses and accidentally stepped on them. Not a crack or scratch, but a wound on his foot that healed immediately. That reassured him that they wouldn't just break.

He had flown his way to Shiketsu multiple times, memorizing the direct route and timing how long it took him to get there. A lot longer than to UA Over 45 minutes going at high speed. An hour at normal high speed, not using his super strength. But he could deal with that. Flying wasn't unpleasant.

So, on the first day of school, he arrived early, leaving too soon in nervousness. He wasn't this nervous about U.A., but here he was. Hopefully that feeling would go away. He had the hat he had to wear in his backpack, and put it on once he landed. The uniform was a little heavier, but fine. They were modified like U.A.'s for his wings.

He walked into the building and headed to his class, glad he wasn't late in the semester. He took the flying goggles off and changed them with his regular glasses. They looked more like glasses instead of sunglasses. They were very lightly tinted blue, but it could look like they just reacted to bright lights.

The building's inside looked fairly similar to U.A., but also more fancy. He didn't have a preference, and he decided to stop comparing right then. He entered the classroom, once again getting all the looks for his wings. They looked much better than they had at the facility, he brushed them and washed them, so they were nice and fluffy now.

He sat in the back, and the looks continued, with some of the girls going over to tell him that they were very pretty, asking if they were inconvenient. Luffy said they were only inconvenient because he needed special clothes with them, but that it didn't bother him much. "I'm Nami," a red head said, shaking Luffy's hand. The other girl was Vivi, who had blue hair.

He was sitting next to a guy with lighter green hair than Midoriya who was napping with his arms crossed. Another was blonde and talking to some other girls with a bright grin on. Then there was the one sitting right beside him, looking extremely nervous.

The teacher came in, looking much happier than Aizawa. The class went silent, and the guy in front of him was still napping, so Luffy discretely shook his shoulder to wake him up.

"Hello first years, I'm Shanks. Go ahead and call me that, though I am still your teacher," he said and the class nodded. "All of you have come here because you were either recommended or did well enough in the practical exam. I expect all of you to live up to your victories or the opinions of those who recommended you.

"We're having an introduction to one another outside. We're getting to know our quirks," he said. "Change into your gym clothes." The student who looked the least human asked why they were getting to know one another's quirks. He was furry and tall with a blue nose. "It will make it more difficult to fight one another if you already know, and it will let you get to know each other better. This may be Shiketsu, but we still promote good relationships with one another. Meet me outside."

The class got up and found drawers open in the wall, though they were different than the ones at U.A., and they were in plastic wrappings with their names on them. There was a changing room with stalls like bathroom stalls and not curtained ones. They had their own shoes, so Luffy's boots would do.

"Thanks for waking me up," the green haired one said. "My name is Zoro."

"Luffy," the winged student replied. Zoro asked him if he was the guy that patrolled with Hawks sometimes. "Ah, yeah. He took me in when I was 8. Taught me how to fly." Zoro raised his eyebrows, though not in a disbelieving way. He then asked if his wings were ever a nuisance. "The good outweighs the bad in my opinion."

Luffy felt he could be friends with this one. He didn't know whether to tell the class everything about his three main powers all under his Argentavis. But suddenly being super strong might break trust. And he wanted to be friends with these people. He would be going here longer than he had at U.A.

They all went outside and there was an area with benches that they got to sit on. It was a comfortable atmosphere, all of them sitting on the benches to talk. Luffy explained his obvious wings, the strength and the regeneration.

"You have regenerative powers?" Chopper asked, the one that didn't look human. Luffy nodded. He did what he did last time to show them. He pulled up the pant leg and found a rock and slashed his leg, making some gasp, only to heal and leave a little bit of blood that he wiped off.

"Hmmm, lucky," Usopp said. Then they went around and introduced their quirks. Zoro could turn his arms into any type of weapon, Sanji could harden his legs similar to Kirishima's power, but only his legs, Usopp was able to make different types of bombs but only if he had ingested the chemicals he needed to make them. So for him, drinking gasoline was safe. Weird.

Nami could release little balls of heat from one hand and cold from the other, able to create clouds. It was interesting. Chopper was basically just super strong. Vivi could dissolve non living things into sand. Rebecca's power was that she could shrink or enlarge her body, but not by much, Law could create an area and then control the objects in that area in various ways, though he couldn't do much at one time.

The other four students didn't really cooperate about explaining their powers, though Shanks told them they would do as he said or they'd be expelled. So, similar to Aizawa in threatening expulsion.

They reluctantly agreed. Reiju could secrete poison from her body or extract poison from others. She could kill or save with her power. Ichiji could release light blasts or cause explosions. Niji could use his body to electrocute others, but the electricity couldn't leave his body like Kaminari. Yonji could extend his arms out and his punches were powerful.

Over all, those three didn't look very nice. They were already looking at Luffy in a rude way. Oh well, you can't get along with everyone. After that, Luffy was surprised that Shanks wanted them to do a fitness test similar to Aizawa's.

And he even admitted he got the idea from Aizawa. That they were friends, even though they were in a sort of competing school. It was interesting. Luffy wasn't considered anything special here since his score in the practical exam wasn't available for all of these people to see. Sanji went first. Instead of throwing, he tossed the softball up and kicked it, punting it 709 meters. The only other ones who made it a very long distance were Zoro, Chopper, Luffy and Yonij.

Luffy's went furthest, same as last time he did this. The other exercises were similar, only nobody was threatened with expulsion. They still did their best. Aizawa really had no reason to do so other than to scare them. Shanks seemed a lot nicer. He smiled more and didn't look absolutely exhausted.

He wasn't the most athletic here, that went to Sanji. He was faster, but Sanji did better with the boring stuff. The pushups, crunches, etc. The girls did alright, but Nami's power wasn't helpful in the physical exam. Luffy could already tell there were three Bakugo's in this class. He ignored them. They didn't glare at him, but gave him haughty looks. Luffy could care less.

Like he had before, Luffy made his own lunch and sat with his new classmates. They introduced themselves more in detail, other than just their quirks. Zoro seemed… sleepy. After he finished eating, he was napping in his chair. Sanji looked at Luffy's food and seemed impressed. "Did you make that yourself?" Luffy nodded. "I make my own food, too." He showed Luffy his own lunch. It looked and smelled good. "Wanna trade?"

"Sure." They tasted each other's food, and from that moment on, Luffy was sure they'd be talking about food a lot. Sanji's food was really good and juicy. The spices weren't as captivating as Luffy's, so they ended up trading recipes on binder paper. It was nice. Usopp kept asking Luffy questions about flying, and Luffy explained it all.

"You really live with Hawks? That's so cool," he said. Luffy said Hawks worked a lot, of course, so he was home alone a lot. It didn't bother him, but Hawks was busy on normal days. Nami commented that he was attractive. Luffy looked at her in amusement. Hawks would probably find that funny.

Then the Three Jis walked over, and looked at Luffy with that expression again. "Did I do something to piss you off?" he asked, really not wanting to have to deal with this. They had a much smaller class and there were three Bakugo's, not just one. These ones seemed almost worse than Bakugo.

"You think you're cool for living with Hawks?"

"Not especially. He's like family, there's nothing weird or special about it," he replied easily.

Yonji said, "Don't expect to be the best in this class."

"Never said I would," Luffy commented casually. He wouldn't bite. He wasn't going to get angry or flustered. It wasn't him. They scoffed and walked away. "I don't understand people like them," he sighed in annoyance. Sanji said they wouldn't change their attitude and felt threatened by him.

"You related to them?" Zoro asked, suddenly awake.

Sanji nodded. They were his adoptive brothers, but they lived with his step dad and he lived with his mom. After lunch was the hero basics class. There wasn't even an introduction like All Might's, just directions to get changed and go to the training grounds.

They got changed, Sanji offering to zip up Luffy's costume back. Luffy thanked him and closed his eyes before switching the glasses with the costume face shield/goggles. The costumes looked different, not as fancy or unique as U.A.s. More modest. Luffy's was not too complicated, that would go to the Three Jis, which was what he was going to refer to the jerks as.

The teacher's name was Rayleigh, and he had a smile on, but not like Shanks' smile. One that promised pain that would also be fun. Somehow. Shiketsu wasn't nearly as massive as U.A., but it was still very large and had multiple training grounds. Rayleigh introduced himself as the hero basics teacher, and that it would be a long school year for them.

"My quirk is going to cause you all a lot of trouble," he said in an amused voice. "First type of training is to catch me. The first one to touch me wins." Everyone blinked twice before they ran, Luffy shooting first as fast as he could, grabbing at him, only he side stepped him easily. Everyone ran at him, and no matter if they used their quirk, he evaded them. He was able to run quickly and they were running into one another.

It was a mess and by the end, most of them were sweaty, some laying on the ground panting. "Is that all you have?" The second wave of attacks began, but no one could touch him. They were each so close, but he seemed to be sensing what they'd do before they did it. There was really no point anymore.

"Alright, by the end of the school year, I won't pass anybody who can't catch me." Oh, there it was. Well, at least it wasn't expulsion. Most of them nodded, but others whined or lamented that. Rayleigh said they had to go all out in this class. Most of the points come from it.

Once the day ended, Luffy exchanged numbers with a couple of the students he got along with well, and then went home. He flew off to make the hour-long trip home, but decided to get a smoothie first and drop down into the nearest town to get one before flying off again.

He did all his homework the moment he got inside through the window and then checked the news about the USJ incident. The school was getting a lot of slamming from the public. He felt bad for them, but was glad he didn't get mixed up in that.

He went online and looked up the Vinsmoke family, which was the last name of the Three Jis and Reiju. She wasn't part of them since she minded her own business and hadn't been rude at all. Looked like their father was a big wig in another country with agencies in Japan. He was very rich, but Luffy wondered why his kids were in Japan when he was in America.

Luffy got to cooking dinner and his lunch for tomorrow. Hawks got there late, looking tired. "Everything okay?" Luffy asked. Hawks nodded, saying that day had a lot of action, and that he was taking a quick nap before dinner. "Okay," Luffy said, frowning. Wondering what had happened that day.

When it was getting late, Luffy knocked on Hawks' bedroom door. "Are you coming to eat or should I put the food in the fridge?"

"Fridge," Hawks mumbled, but loud enough for Luffy to hear. He asked if he was okay. But Hawks got up and came to the door, frowning. "I gotta talk to you," he said, concerning Luffy. He nodded and sat on the couch after putting the food in the fridge for him to eat later. If he didn't eat dinner now, he'd probably get up in the middle of the night and eat.

He pulled out his phone and showed it to Luffy. "Do you recognize this person?" he asked. Luffy took the phone, seeing a black haired guy with freckles with a small frown. He shook his head and asked who it was. "He claims to be your biological brother. He approached me today and asked to see you."

Luffy's expression went cold. "That was my reaction at first, too. Why didn't he help you? Why didn't he call the cops on his parents to save you? I asked him these things, kind of angrily. Apparently, he was the one to call the heroes seven years ago in the slums. He said he waited for you to come to the shelter, but since I took you from the hospital, you never arrived there, and there was no trace of you in any paperwork.

"After that, he was sent to America for causing your old parents so much trouble. He just turned 18 and came back to look for you before seeing your face in an old news article from a couple months ago. He wanted to talk to you," Hawks explained. Luffy was frowning deeply and then asked his name. "Ace."

Then he said he turned him away for right now. He got his number since his story made sense timeline wise. Hawks sent Luffy the phone number over text and Luffy just stared at it for a bit. Ace. He didn't think this was some trick, but he didn't know what he'd do about it. He was happy now, living with Hawks and finally going to school. He wanted to be a sidekick.

What did Ace want? He'd find out tomorrow. He was eating and then going to bed to go to school the next day. "I'm going to bed early," he mumbled, his phone weighing a thousand pounds in his pocket. Hawks told him to try and get sleep, try not to think about it. "I'll try."
