Nighteye Agency

Momo had changed into her normal clothes and left the locker room only to find Mirio waiting for her. "So, about earlier today?"

Momo could tell her upperclassmen was just worried about her. "After my lesson with Centipeder, I decided to look up a case that I was wondering about. Mainly to try and calm my nerves about someone."

"Calm your nerves?" Togata repeated. "What case has got you stressed out?"

"The Hero Killer, but I'm not nervous about him." Momo replied. "I'm actually nervous about a friend of mine."

"How so?" Mirio asked.

"Well, I'm nervous about what might happen to him." Momo started. "He's currently in Hosu; the place where the Hero Killer last attacked a Pro. I decided to look into the case, and it looks like Stain takes out at minimum four Pros per city."

"To sum it up, your friend and the Hero Killer are in the same city." Mirror started. "You're worried your friend is going to run into him."

"I'm worried he might not be there when all of us return from our internships." Momo corrected. "I'm newer to this group of friends he's part of, but even I can recognize he wasn't acting like himself. I just can't shake the feeling that something bad is going to happen to him."

"I think I might know how to get rid of that feeling." Mirio stated.

"Really?" Momo responded.

"Sir's Quirk allows him to see a person's future. The longer out he looks, the less certain it is when something will happen. Considering your internships are over in roughly five days now, he'll be truly certain about a date." Togata informed him. "Why don't we go ask him to use his foresight on you, and let him tell you when you'll next see your friend?"

"He would do that for me?" Momo questioned surprised.

"Yeah, as long as you ask, and he's fine with it." Mirio confirmed.

Momo hesitated for a moment. "Do you think he'll say yes?"

"Why don't we go find out." Togata suggested.

After walking up the stairs, and through the halls, the two students were just outside Sir's office and Mirio knocked on the door.

Almost immediately they heard Nighteye's voice. "Enter." The pair did, so Sir glanced at the two, particularly Momo, before going back to his paperwork. "If you're going to try and make me laugh or smile, the direct approach rarely ever works."

"Sorry Sir, but I didn't come to do that." Momo told him.

"Then make whatever you're here for fast." Nighteye requested. "While you may be finished with your work today, I still have much to do."

"Sir, I'm worried about a friend of mine who's going through a hard time." Sir nodded and let Momo continue. "My friend might be doing something that will kill him, so Mirio recommended I come ask you to use your Foresight. I'm hoping to see that we will see each other again."

Sir stopped what he was doing and looked at his intern. "You want me to use my Foresight to tell you when you'll see your friend?"

"He's not acting like himself." Momo replied. "I tried texting and calling, but he won't answer. I just can't shake this bad feeling in my gut that he might need help, yet no one will be there for him."

"Yeah." Mirio added. "Besides, you already have this week scheduled out. Why not just use your foresight to check on Momo's break times and after hours for the week. No harm in that, right?"

Nighteye just looked at the pair, making sure that this was serious, before reluctantly instructing Momo. "Sit on the chair in front of me and look straight ahead."

"Yes Sir!" Momo complied right away before he potentially changed his mind. "My friend's name is Tenya Iida. He has blue hair, wears glasses, and you might see him in a suit that looks near identical to Ingenium's."

Nighteye nodded as he leaned forward a bit, placed a hand on Momo's arm, and made direct eye contact. Sir's eyes changed from yellow irises to purple, camera lens looking eyes. He let go of Momo and looked deep in thought for about ten seconds.

The Pro's eyes then reverted to normal. "You'll see him sometime on the day after tomorrow."

"That soon?" Momo questioned.

Sir confirmed it with a simple, "Yes."

That made the feeling in Momo's gut go away almost instantly, and she gave a small smile of relief. "Thank you, Sir."

Sir nodded and waited for them to leave before calling Bubble Girl and Centipeder. "Come to my office in an hour. I have some news and revisions we need to plan out for the next two days."

Bar Hideout: Night…

Tomura was pacing around the bar frustrated from yesterday's events where some guy covered in knives had the audacity to attack him on his home turf. While Shigaraki was vocalizing his frustrations, Piccolo could only hope his and Kurogiri's words sunk in soon. Given what Stain did, there was no telling if the man would end up captured or killed soon.

"Venting your frustrations in an empty room isn't going to do anything." Piccolo spoke up. "Considering you won't hear how we could use Stain; you might as well contact the old man for some guidance."

Tomura rounded on him. "You don't get to order me around."

"I'm just making a suggestion as your tutor." Piccolo retorted dryly. "If that's one of your reasons for not hearing me out about Stain, then you're a bigger brat than I already think you are."

"Why would I call master?" Shigaraki retorted. "Unlike you, he doesn't sit around doing nothing all the time. I might interrupt him while he's busy with the…Nomus."

The hand covered Villain grabbed a remote and turned on the TV hanging on the wall of the bar. He then changed the channel until he saw that same Audio Only text they were familiar with. The Villain then grabbed his phone and dialed a number.

It wasn't long until a familiar voice spoke up. "What is it, Tomura?"

"Master." Shigaraki got straight to the point. "How many Nomu are completed?"

"I've finished adjusting the behavior of six of them." The voice answered. "Though they are not as strong as the one from the U.S.J. attack."

"Give them to me." Tomura requested in a greedy tone.

"Why?" The voice asked in a dry tone.

"Because I don't like that arrogant Hero Killer mu tutor brought in." Shigaraki explained. "And it's my right to destroy anything I don't like, right Master?"

"Very well." The voice responded. "However, you may only have three. Try to use this as a learning experience."

"Oh, I will. Thank you master." Tomura stated with glee.

"Considering you called, I might as well say something else." The voice stated. "Piccolo, when Tomura goes through with this plan of his, I want you to take the remaining three Nomu."

"Of course." Piccolo stated. "What do you want me to do with them?"

"Cause some havoc near the Ryukyu Agency." The voice replied. "The student Tomura informed me of, the one who took on the Nomu I sent that day, has been spotted in the Dragoon Heroine's presence. This time, I'll be watching."

"Do you want me to bring him in?" Piccolo questioned.

"Only if the opportunity presents itself." The voice replied. "His Quirks can be acquired at any time, so it's not worth losing you over it."

"Understood." Piccolo voiced.

Nighteye Agency

Once the hour was up, the sidekicks entered the room, and Sir told them everything.

Once he was done, Bubble Girl was the first to speak. "She really runs into him?"

"And on top of that, gets assaulted by him too?" Centipeder finished.

"I'm afraid so." Sir confirmed. "I refused to look beyond that as to not set anything else in stone."

"Right, because of how your foresight works." The bug headed sidekick remembered.

"But, we can't just stand here and let this happen." The blue skinned sidekick retorted. "There must be some way we can help."

"That's the reason why I called you here." Nighteye stated. "While looking into Momo's future, I never looked at her lessons between now and then."

The two sidekicks realized where he was going with this, and Centipeder continued where Sir left off. "So, those moments are still within our control."

"Exactly." The Pro Hero confirmed. "Since we cannot change the fact that Momo will be confronted by him, we can at least use the time we have to prepare her for that encounter."

"Then, what are we waiting for?" Bubble Girl chimed in. "Let's get planning."

Nighteye Agency: Morning…

As Momo left her room within the agency, she ran into Mirio. "You ready to rock it today?"

"I'm ready to give it my best." Momo voiced.

"Looks like going to Sir last night really helped." Togata remarked. "You look more assured."

"Well, now I know I'll get to see my friend again." Momo reasoned. "At the time, I can see how he's doing and make certain he'll be there when we all return from our internships."

Before Mirio could say anything more, the pair noticed her first lesson was coming fast prompting them to quickly enter their respective locker rooms and get into their costumes. Upon arriving in the room, they found Bubble Girl waiting."

"Let's not waste any time." She sounded serious. "Momo, Sir wants you to strictly practice dodging and deflecting attacks." It seemed a bit strange since yesterday was a course on well-rounded combat skills. "The best way to deal with some Villains is to be able to deflect or dodge whatever they send your way."

That sounded reasonable, so they began. Mirio went through several of the best ways he knew to deflect oncoming attacks with Bubble Girl chiming in. At the halfway mark, they decided to switch it up and practice dodging.

Eventually, it was time for her first break of the day; however, Lemillion was asked to stay back. Once break wrapped up, Momo went to her next lesson; however, there was a noticeable change to the course.

The sand bags had been replaced with multiple faux swords that would swing at her from every direction, there were ways to launch projectiles at her, and the falling panels seemed more innumerable. The difficulty had spiked exponentially.

Centipeder also seemed more serious as well which was odd considering Bubble Girl was like this to. Regardless, Momo kept attempting the obstacle course; however, this time she only managed to get a third of the way through before break.

After this break, she returned to her lessons with Bubble Girl which continued with deflecting and dodging. This time they did dodging for the first half and deflecting for the second. Momo was currently across from Bubble Girl deflecting anything sent her way.

With it almost nearing her third break, Momo decided to speak up. "Hey, can I ask you something?"

"Sure." The Pro answered.

"Compared to yesterday, you're acting more serious and less bubbly." Momo pointed out. "Is something wrong?"

"Well, no." Bubble Girl seemed to be taking a moment to find her answer before speaking. "You just seem determined to succeed, so I decided I'd teach you as much as I could with what time we have now."

Momo didn't know if she believed that or not. She didn't really know these four people until two days ago, but something still seemed off. Ultimately, they were all higher up than her, so it wasn't like she could just keep pestering them.

"Well, I'll do my best to absorb whatever you wish to teach." Momo finally stated.

From there, the day progressed with lesson after lesson. Ultimately, Momo did end up completing the new obstacle course with an hour left to spare in the last lesson of the day. Centipeder ended up turning up the difficulty by combining the two days' courses.

In the end, she could only get half of the way through that course before her day ended. Ultimately, she had learned a lot about dodging and deflecting with a large increase to her capabilities when it came to thinking on the fly.

Morning…

The sun began to rise, and Sir was in his office with Bubble Girl and Centipeder. The two sidekicks were up earlier than normal because they needed to review their plan with Nighteye. The Pro had just finished when he noticed that it was almost time to begin the day.

Bubble Girl looked down for a minute. "I really hope she makes it out of this. Momo is a good kid."

"The two of you trained her the best you could yesterday." Sir pointed out. "Not only that, but she won't be alone either."

"I know." The blue skinned Hero replied.

"I believe Momo will pull through this." Centipeder stated. "She has the tools and now the knowledge to survive an encounter with an assailant like him."

Bubble Girl took a deep breath. "Yeah, she'll pull through, and she'll have allies there to help her."

With that, the two sidekicks left to start packing some cases.

Nighteye Agency

Momo once more ran into Mirio on her way to prepare for the day. "Given the prior two days, I wouldn't put it past Bubble Girl or Centipeder to have a different theme for today."

"Probably." Togata smiled. "Though, it would get pretty repetitive if they did the same thing."

"That is true." Centipeder stated as he overheard the two of them after turning a corner with coffee in hand. "We don't have anything scheduled for most of the day. In truth, you will be accompanying Bubble Girl and myself at 5:00 PM later today to start your lesson."

"May I ask why it's so late?" Momo inquired.

"Sir figured if we kept up this routine for the entire week, some of the information we share with you might end up going over your head." The bug headed Hero explained. "So, for today we'll change up the schedule to ensure you're in the best condition possible."

"Understood." Momo nodded. "What do I do before then?"

"Just make sure you're ready before 5:00." The Pro said before leaving them.

When Centipeder left the room, Togata spoke up. "Well, now we know what your plans are for today."

"Seems so." Momo agreed. "What about you? I doubt you've got the same amount of free time as I do."

"I'll go check in with Sir and see what he needs me to do." Mirio looked at the clock. "I should probably do that now."

"See you." Momo stated.

"Later." Togata replied as he left.

Ryukyu Agency: Evening…

Goku, Sen, Ojiro, and Hiryu had just finished their Quirk training for the day when Ryukyu called them all to her and Roshi. "Alright, you four have been showing improvements since yesterday. While you still have much that can be learned, there's a case that needs to be handled, and I've decided you four will be involved."

That got the boys' attentions.

"You want us to be involved in Hero work?" Goku asked slightly hopeful.

"I do; however, I don't want you to get into any unnecessary trouble, understood?" Ryukyu questioned.

"Understood." The boys resounded.

"Alright boys, come with us then." Roshi ordered.

The mentors took their interns to the meeting room which contained a large, circular table in the middle. Six sidekicks could be seen either sitting by the table or standing away from it. The room quieted down once Ryukyu entered with everyone in tow causing eyebrows to raise.

Ryukyu clapped her hands for attention. "Now that we're all here, we can finally start to go over this case." Her words caused the sidekicks around the room to stand in attention as they focused on her, and the interns followed suit. "Today, a criminal responsible for breaking out two Villains responsible for the attack on the USJ has been spotted at a nearby warehouse."

The wall behind her opened displaying the map of the town, the location of said warehouse, and an image of Piccolo. He had been on the news for freeing those Villains. The information that they would be involved in bringing this guy in caught the 1-A students' attentions.

The warehouse itself was large; however, the space between it and the walls surrounding it was larger. There were multiple vehicles and some construction materials that could be seen laying around inside the walls. The warehouse itself seemed worn down but still sturdy.

"The police has aided us with locating it, and they are already setting up a perimeter meaning all that's left is for us to raid it." Ryukyu informed. "While this Villain is there, we don't know he's alone. The two he rescued could very well be with him, so caution is highly advised.

We will be running three teams led by me, Nejire Chan, and Turtle Hermit. You four." She was addressing the students. "You will stay with me. I know you are capable, but I don't want to put you into unnecessary danger. Is that clear?"

The students nodded, "Yes ma'am!"

Ryukyu looked satisfied at that. "Good, any questions?" One of the sidekicks raised their hand. "Yes?"

"Turtle Hermit is joining us?"

Ever since he retired, Turtle Hermit didn't particularly seek out Hero Work. It was still perfectly legal for any Retired Hero to stop Villains, and he would never ignore a crime; however, something like this wasn't up his ally these days.

"He is joining us because two of his interns will be involved." Ryukyu stated.

"I might just be a Retired Hero these days, but a Hero I still am." Roshi added.

"Anyone else?" Ryukyu asked only to see that no one did. "Alright everyone, get ready because we set out in fifteen."

Nighteye Agency

Considering she had the time, even if Nighteye said she didn't seem to need it this week, Momo decided to spend her time studying. She had brought a few books with her. Once it was 5:00 PM, Momo, in her Hero costume, Bubble Girl, and Centipeder were standing at attention before Sir.

Nighteye began to speak. "Today, you're going to be showing me how much you've learned by putting these skills into practical use. Before you arrived here, Centipeder was gathering information involving an investigation.

Since there is expected to be combat, it makes sense to see how much you know now, and how much you need to know by accompanying him in this case. Bubble Girl will go with you as a chaperone."

"Yes Sir." Momo stated.

"Make sure you don't get in the way of those two and pull your own weight while you're out there." Nighteye instructed. "Are we clear, Creati?"

"Crystal." Momo replied.

"That will be all." The Pro stated. "Bubble Girl and Centipeder will inform you of the rest."

All three of them left, and Momo got the rest of the details as the trio were walking to the train station. The three of them were going to take the bullet train from Hakone-Yumoto Station to Hosu Station at 5:30 so they will show up at 7:00 PM.

From there, she would accompany Centipeder as they hunted down a ring of criminals. As for the Hero Killer, every Hero in the city would be in groups of three or more meaning it will be unlikely for the Hero Killer to attack any time soon.

The three got to Hakone-Yumoto Station and waited for the train to arrive. Once it did, they boarded and were on their way. As Momo was now on her way to Hosu, she figured that this might be what Sir meant earlier when he said that she would see Tenya soon.

"Given this is the day, it's likely I'll run into him." Momo thought. "Then, I'll make sure he's not doing anything reckless. That he'll return to Izuku, Ochaco, Goku, and I when internships are over."

Hosu

Stain was sitting atop a water tank on the roof until a dark purple vortex opened behind him.

Out of it came Tomura as he commented on the sight. "Huh, Hosu City looks nicer than expected." Kurogiri stepped out after him. "So, what are you going to do?"

"I will reform it." Stain answered. "In order to do so, blood must spill."

"You have a clear goal." Kurogiri stated. "Your dedication is admirable."

"Ah, another who understands." Stain complimented.

"I get the feeling you enjoy picking on me." Tomura assumed.

"Hero is a title for those who've accomplished great deeds." The Hero Killer preached. "This city is full of false champions that only care about money and fame." He grabbed the hilt of his sword as he continued to speak. "Until the world realizes its mistakes, I will continue my work."

He jumped off the water tank and began his hunt once more.

"He talks all high and mighty, but he's wasting his time focusing on a small stage." Shigaraki ridiculed as he began to scratch his neck. "He's so noble I could cry."

"You shouldn't spurn his methods." Kurogiri advised. "The reality is, in all the cities that Stain has appeared, the crime rates have fallen. Perhaps because Heroes are more conscientious or perhaps out of fear." Tomura was scratching a bit faster. "Regardless, he does bring change."

"Oh, isn't that just wonderful." Tomura replied with faked excitement. "Heroes are working harder thanks to all those murders. I guess you could say our Hero Killer is also a Hero Breeder!" He dropped the act. "This is getting boring. It won't work.

We just can't agree on a basic level, and he annoys me. Kurogiri, bring out the Nomus." Kurogiri opened a portal in front of them allowing the creatures to step through. "You think you can get away with stabbing me?

When I get tired of you, I'll kill you whenever I feel like it. Just like that, Stain. Hnnhehe…but let's make it more interesting. How about I crush your honor and pride first? What do you say, big bad Hero Killer?"

Warehouse

The Heroes and interns stalked towards the abandoned warehouse while staying behind the construction materials that were laying around outside. All of them had pretty much climbed over the walls or just sneaked past the gate without a sound.

"Remember." Ryukyu turned to the four interns. "Stick close to me." The three students nodded at her words making her smile in satisfaction. "Alright, it's time for the rest of you to go. Once inside, follow who you were assigned. Roshi and Nejire, be careful in there."

The sidekicks made their move heading towards the building.

Roshi quietly laughed. "I should be the one saying that to you."

He then followed the sidekicks while Nejire smiled to her juniors. "If you four need help, just use the comms, Nejire Chan will come running. You got that?"

"We won't forget." Ojiro nodded. "Thank you."

The rest gave the third-year a thumbs up, so with a cheery smile, she followed the others.

"Man, I hate all this sneaky stuff." Hiryu grunted from their position.

"Yet, it's necessary." Ryukyu informed. "We can't have the Villain finding us before we're even inside, right?"

Hiryu begrudgingly nodded

"What should we do Ryukyu?" Sen asked the hero.

"For now, you four will serve as our support while we spearhead the attack." Ryukyu informed. "If you must fight, you have mine and Roshi's full permission to do so; however, your first job should be to keep the pressure off us as we restrain whatever Villains await us in there."

"If there even are any." Ojiro commented. "The place is too quiet."

All five of them then perked up as their comms blared to life. They gained a round of affirmatives from the sidekicks as they confirmed that they had reached their positions. Slowly, the group made their way towards the main entrance. It was covered by a large, steel door.

Ryukyu grasped the door handles while speaking into the coms. "Everyone, we'll be storming the place on my count…"

She received confirmations in return. The students nodded as they eyed the door, and the nearby dark windows with some nervousness.

"3…"

"2…"

"1!"

Ryukyu's body enlarged as her body morphed and changed. She gained white scales, grew, and sprouted draconian wings. The Heroine moved into the room with the students following closely behind her.

Hiryu's arms were cloaked in his scales, Ojiro's tail was at the ready, Sen's right arm was rotating, and Goku was letting his energy flow. What greeted them beyond the door made them widen their eyes in surprise while Goku's body tensed.

Before them stood a humanoid being that was still and unmoving like a lifeless puppet. It was tall and thin with light blue skin. It also had an exposed brain, bird like face, and feathers sticking out along its arms like blades. Its appearance was close enough to the USJ Nomu.

"Nomu…" Goku stated firmly.

"Wait, that's the Nomu?" Ojiro asked shocked. "The others said it was larger and bulkier than this."

The Heroine glanced towards the two of them in surprise before looking towards the Nomu with her guard raised. She had already read the report from the USJ incident after all.

"No, it's not the same Nomu, but it certainly looks enough like it." Goku voiced.

As soon as he said that the other teams reported in something similar.

With Turtle Hermit

Turtle Hermit and his team found a white Nomu that was on all fours and resembled a canine. It's body structure and facial features matched, but one would be hard pressed to call this cute considering the exposed brain.

"Ryukyu, we've found something resembling a Nomu." Turtle Hermit voiced. "It's currently stationary."

With Nejire Chan

At that exact moment, Nejire Chan and her team found a black Nomu with four arms and a bulky frame; however, it wasn't as bulky as the Nomu that attacked the USJ, and it had no beak like mouth like that Nomu either.

"Ryukyu, we've found a four-armed Nomu." Nejire Chan voiced. "It's currently stationary."

With Ryukyu & Interns

With their attention, especially Goku's, on the Nomu before them, and the words of the other teams sinking in, no one could react to what happened next. Piccolo rushed in slamming his foot into Goku's gut knocking him clear out of the warehouse. Just as those remaining moved to look at him, Piccolo was out the door.

"King Wukong!" Ryukyu shouted worriedly.

Before she could chase after him, three roars resounded all throughout the warehouse drawing hers and the other intern's attention. The Nomu in the room with them was active and looking at them with its lifeless eyes.

"Ryukyu, the Nomu is awake!" Turtle Hermit/Nejire shouted.

With that confirmation, this left the Heroine in a tough spot. She couldn't let a creature which could be comparable to All Might get away, and there were three of them. At the same time, she couldn't leave her intern to face an actual Villain alone. She had to make a choice.

"We got one here, and King Wukong was just taken outside by the Villain." The Nomu lunged towards Ryukyu. "Defeat your Nomu fast because we'll need to help all the interns!"

That last line caught the attention of the students, and they correctly took its meaning by rushing out after their fellow intern.

Near Hosu: Night…

The sun had set a few minutes ago. Momo sat next to Bubble Girl with Centipeder sitting across from the two by himself. The train had plenty of open seats probably because it wasn't as busy at the stations as they would be during the day.

"So, how are you feeling Creati?" Bubble Girl asked.

"A little nervous, honestly." Momo responded. "Ask me before U.A., and the answer might have been different. Now, a lot has happened."

"Good." Centipeder spoke up. "Keep that nervousness about you because it'll keep you on your toes."

"Huh?" A passenger noticed something. "Is it just me, or is there a building on fire outside?"

"What?" Another passenger responded causing the three to wonder what they were looking at.

Centipeder looked out his window and saw what the crowd was seeing. "That's not good."

"Is there actually a building on fire!?" Bubble Girl asked.

"Passengers." The intercom came on. "Please hold onto your seats."

Everyone in the car jerked forward thanks to the emergency brakes being applied and hit the seat in front of them. That wasn't all. There was a noise that sounded like a crash which came from one car behind them.

They also heard some fighting before Momo got up and looked out the window. She saw a short man in yellow and white tackle some grey skinned thing out of the train. They had both plowed into a nearby building.

"Someone just tackled something off the train and into a building." Momo informed the Pros.

"Someone must have attacked the train." Centipeder stated.

"There's most likely wounded in the car behind us." Bubble Girl pointed out.

"Let's move." The bug headed Pro ordered, and the other two nodded before a winged Nomu burst into the car. "Change of plan!" He managed to restrain it with his limbs before tossing it back out the window. "Bubble Girl, you're with me. Creati, check the previous car."

He leapt out the hole to quickly get a scope of just what they were dealing with here.

Bubble Girl looked back at Momo. "Defend yourself as well as others."

Momo nodded before the sidekick hopped out after Centipeder, and she ended up running back to the previous car. One glance of this car told her no one here had been injured, so she reached the door back and pulled it open. There she saw Izuku looking out the hole.

"Deku!?" Momo shouted in surprise.

Her fellow 1-A student turned to her in surprise. "Mo… Creati!?"


Before you guys say anything, Nighteye believes that what he foresees always comes true meaning instructing anyone to accompany Momo to this meeting, in his eyes, wouldn't accomplish anything. Additionally, he didn't foresee Nomus being there because that's not what was shown to him. If he knew there would be more trouble beyond the Hero Killer, then he would have come along with Mirio in tow.

As for the discussion between Piccolo and the voice, we all know that's All For One. Considering how strong Goku's 'Quirks' seem, it only makes sense he'd be looking to acquire them himself. I'm just going to say right now that All For One can't take Goku's power because it isn't a Quirk. While Piccolo doesn't have one himself, that's not enough of a reason for All For One to suspect that Goku doesn't have a Quirk. The only way to know is to try taking it.


Monster King: Thank you

KaijuEmperor: To find out how I'm doing power scales, chapter 14 has an explanation at the bottom. As for Crane Master killing Demon King Piccolo, that is just what Piccolo Jr. While it's true he'd have inherited the memories of his father, memory is a fickle thing that. If someone were so inclined, as well as had the proper materials, then messing with the mind to make someone think something isn't out of the realm of possibility. In short, it's simply beneficial to All for One if Piccolo believes that.

ArguableReader: While what you say about their training under Whis is true, this is even worse than that. While Goku would be naturally geared towards Ki, having no one to mentor him caused a massive issue in his control. Fortunately, Nejire presented the answer. Piccolo's also been raised by All for One here, so that doesn't particularly help him in any way beyond strength. As for free time, I left my last job right before I set out to write this. While I have been looking for a new one, it's beenb slow going.
