Chapter 4: Places to be, Things to do

Summary : Inko takes the boys shopping, quirk registration, school enrollment. Shanks looks for a job

Izuku wakes up to the soft glow of the early morning sunrise. The first think he notices is Katsuki curled up next to him looking so peaceful all the sharp features of his face softened by the calm orange glow behind him. Izuku thinks he looks beautiful like this. The second thing he notices is the tail wrapped around Katsuki's wrist. In a moment of confusion, he realizes that the tail is coming from himself. Starting to panic he remembers the events that took place yesterday. He remembers eating a weird fruit, meeting three people, learning about devil fruits, talks of training, learning he has a soulmate, and probably the best thing about yesterday was Katsuki was his soulmate. Admiring Katsuki's sleeping face, wanting to commit this rare sight to memory, he hears someone stirring next to his bed. He remembers Ace and Luffy, and figures he better wake everyone up if they are going to finish everything his mom said they were going to do today. He uncurls himself from Katsuki and gently wakes him up.

Katsuki lets out a small yawn and sits up rubbing the sleep out of his eyes with a small fist. Katsuki looks a little confused about why he is waking up in Izuku's bed but looking around the room he notices the two other boys sprawled out on the floor. He remembers the events of yesterday and a look of recognition crosses his face. He gets off the bed and helps Izuku wake the other two boys. Gently tapping Ace's shoulder to rouse him he steps back when Ace groans. He turns to see Luffy already waking up and decides to look for some clothes that Ace and Luffy can wear when they go out. Ace is closer to Katsuki's size than he is to Izuku, so Katsuki makes his way to the part of the closet that has a few pairs of his clothing and picks clean clothes for himself and Ace.

Izuku emerges from the back of his closet with two outfits one for Luffy and the other for himself. He hands off the clothes and excuses himself to the bathroom to change, brush his teeth, and finishes his morning routine. He stares at himself in the mirror sticking out of his messy green hair are two fluffy wolf ears with green fire dancing around them. His irises are bigger and have a faint green glow his fangs are sharper and longer too. He inspects his tail and notices that it is made of green fire in a more solid form. He thinks he looks cool and is excited that he now has a power to show everyone he is not quirkless. He leaves the bathroom and heads to the dining room and greets his mother.

"Good Morning mom" Izuku greets

"Good morning sweetheart, did you sleep well?"

"Yea, I shored my bed with Kacchan. Luffy and Ace shared the spare mattress."

"Can you go wake up the boys and tell them breakfast is ready I would like to leave soon so we can get everything done"

"I already woke them up they should be getting ready to come down any moment now."

Shanks arrives in the dining room, "Inko, thanks for helping me get clothes for the boys, I am going to look for a job today so I can pay you back"

"Don't worry about it Shanks, I was taking Izuku and Katsuki shopping for school stuff anyway, I don't mind adding a few more things to the list."

"Oh, yea we are enrolling them into school, when does it start?"

"School starts in two weeks"

"I hope we are all in the same class."

As Izuku says this the other boys enter the dining room. Ace and Luffy look at all the food prepared mouths watering. Inko notices this and thinks 'When was the last time they ate like this; they look half starved' Shanks speaks up "Inko you are about to be dealing with two boys that can eat more then most adults. I swear they have black holes for stomachs"

Inko laughs "I'm sure they will at least be satisfied; I do request to wait for seconds until everyone has been served." Getting nods of agreement from around the table Inko smiles and starts serving. Ace and Luffy take their first bites eyes widened "Even though this is not meat it is the best food we've ever had"

"I'm glad you like it, what are your favorite foods?"

"Umm we usually eat meat." Luffy states around his mouthful.

"They grew up with mountain bandits, they hunted for their food usually they would just eat what they caught, vegetables, and grains were not common for them. The probably ate so much because meat is not very filling. I am going to work on their diets now that food is readily available to them." Shanks informs.

"How about we make curry tonight for dinner then" Inko suggests. Katsuki lights up because that is his favorite. Izuku smiles fondly at Katsuki. "We can even make some spicy curry for Kacchan" Katsuki's smile grows as he nods enthusiastically. The boys finish their food in relative silence. As the boys are finishing breakfast Shanks helps Inko with washing the cookware. The boys bring their dishes to Inko to be cleaned and go put their shoes on and wait for the adults outside in the garden.

"Ok boys first we are going to go to the mall, to get some new clothes. Ace and Luffy need at lease a few outfits, we need to get some training clothes and school clothes. Katsuki I'll get yours too since your mom won't be back in time. You can keep them in Izuku's closet."

The group walks to the train station and purchases tickets for the next train. While they are waiting Ace and Luffy are looking around thinking 'this place is bigger than Goa Kingdom' with excited smiles on their faces, they don't know what a train is, but they are excited to see one. A few minuets later they can see the train pulling up, they look at the massive locomotive with wonder and awe. The group boards the train, there are only a couple of seats left so they chose to stand. The boys don't care they are too excited to sit down anyways. They look out the window with wonder watching as the train leaves the rest of the world behind. A couple of stops and Inko informs them they must get off. After a short walk out of the station they arrive at the mall. Luffy and Ace have never seen a building so big, so many different shops, colors, things sparkling Luffy is practically bouncing wanting to go explore. Shanks and Inko smile at Luffy seeing his excitement they head into the children's store to start looking for clothes.

Inko hands over a variety of different sizes and colors of shorts, shirts, pants, and sweaters to Luffy and Ace to try on. "Try them on so we can see what fits. Then we can pick out stuff you like." Luffy and Ace try on all the clothes finding styles they like and others they don't. Ace finds he really does not like shirts he gets too hot. Luffy doesn't like the pants or the long sleeves when he stretches, he gets caught in the cuffs. They leave the changing room.

"We found some stuff that fit really well but umm I don't like shirts." Ace said and pouts

"Why do the shirts bother you?"

"I overheat." Ace says.

A look of understand passes through Inko's face "What about tank tops or thinner shirts?" Inko goes to the shirt section "the shirts you tried on; what size fit you?"

"Medium" Ace responds. Inko nods and finds the thinnest tee-shirts and tank tops in different colors and tells ace to try them on. Ace come back several minuets later carrying the colors and shirts he liked. He can tolerate the thinner pieces of clothing. He heads over to the shorts and grabs a few pairs of long cargo shorts; he hands them to Inko. "Anything else, Pants?" Inko asks. Ace shakes his head, and Inko figures he would overheat in them as well.

Luffy comes up to Inko with a few tee-shirts and cargo shorts. Inko raises and eyebrow thinking Luffy is coping Ace. "Luffy, what about pants and long sleeves?" Luffy shakes his head.

"Um I cannot stretch well in pants or long sleeves; my hands and feet get caught in the cuffs." He explains sheepishly. He receives a look of understanding from Inko. "Ok, lets go look at shoes. Any particular shoe you prefer?"

"Sandals, regular shoes constrict my feet and Ace tends to burn them." Luffy explains.

"Ok, though just incase for school we will find breathable running shoes just in case they do not allow you to wear sandals. Is that ok?" Inko compromises receiving nods from the two boys. Izuku runs up to the group a look of barely contained excitement "They have the new All Might running shoes can I get them please mom!?" He shouts. Inko nods her head with a fond smile on her face. "Did you and Katsuki get your clothes picked out?"

"Yea, they are with Shanks he helped up pick out training clothes, they are light and durable. We also picked them out for Ace and Luffy with their quirks in mind." He says still buzzing with excitement.

"Ok well that is everything here let's go to the stationary store and get school supplies." Inko goes to the check out and pays for the clothes. When everything is paid for Shanks grabs the bags and Inko leads the boys to the Stationary Store. Arriving to the store Izuku leads them to the back packs and picks out a yellow All Might one, Katsuki picks out a plain black one. Luffy grabs a red one and Ace grabs an orange one. After picking their backpacks they go to the notebooks and pencils and other school supplies and get everything they need. Izuku grabs extra notebooks for his analysis work, and a few more for training. He grabs a couple of notebooks to analyze Ace and Luffy's power. Taking there supplies the boys give them to Inko. "Why so many notebooks Izuku?"

"Training plans and quirk analysis, a few for each of us." Izuku responds as if it is obvious. Katsuki smirks and nods his head "Get used to it old man, Izuku is a Nerd." Shanks looks bewildered not really knowing what to do with this information, this reminds him he forgot to ask Izuku to see his book on Katsuki's quirk. 'What ever ill ask him for it tomorrow'.

They check out and leave the mall. Heading back to the train station and renting a locker to put their things in. The make their way to the Quirk Registrar's office in City Hall.

"Good morning, how can I help you today?" Asks the lady at the receptions desk.

"Good morning, I need quirk registration forms for the four boys." Replies Inko.

"Here you go, take a seat and fill them out when you are done come back up here and ill take them." Inko takes the forms and hands them to the boys.

The boys finish filling out the Quirk Registration Forms and hand them back to Inko to turn in "Thank you we will file these; would you like a copy?" The desk asks.

"Yes, I have to enroll the boys into school, they might need these for their school records."

"Ok just a moment please," She goes to the copier and come back a few moments later "Here you are, the boys are still young and it is common for quirk traits to change, if you need to make changes you can always come in and request an addendum to add any changes to their quirks. Thank you have a wonderful day."

Inko walks away back to the boys, "Last stop, School Enrollment. Luckily, we don't have to go far its upstairs" she leads the group upstairs to the school registrar's office. Inside Inko and Shanks approach the desk. "Welcome, how may I help you?" The man behind the counter greets.

"Hello, we need to register the boys to start school" Inko responds.

"Ok, you just need to fill out these packets and provide their quirk information. There is a section on the forms if they require specific types of uniforms to fit their quirks." He states handing the packets to Inko.

She hands two of the packets to Shanks and beings working on them and filling out the information. After a several minuets she is finished and adds a copy of the quirk registration form to the back. Izuku needs special pants for his tail, and she put down flame retardant clothing for both the boys. She turns to Shanks "are you finished or do you need help anywhere."

Shanks turns to her "I think I finished it can you look it over? Also, I know you have just met the boys, but can I put you down as a guardian or emergency contact?" He asks looking sheepish. Inko nods in agreement and looks over the paperwork she noticed that Shanks requested thin flame retardant uniforms for Ace, he also requested that Ace's uniforms be shorts, and t-shirt to prevent overheating. For Luffy he requested shorts and t-shirt as well due to his stretching, he also requested the use of sandals for both boys. Seeing nothing wrong on the papers and adding her contact info for emergency/ guardian purposes she attaches the quirk registration form to the back. She takes all the packets to the clerk and waits patiently as he looks them over.

"Ah you require special uniforms for the boys, I will give you a call when they are ready for pick up. They should be ready in a couple of days. Thank you and have a wonderful day." Inko walks away from the desk and heads the group "How about we head home and make lunch" getting four stomach growls and a nod of agreement they leave City Hall and head to the train station. Inko grabs the stuff from the locker and turns in the key. Shanks grabs some of the bags while the boys carry their back packs filled with school supplies. They only wait a couple of minuets before they can board the train.

Arriving home Inko turns to Izuku "Go put this stuff away in your room and clear out some space in the closet for Luffy and Ace, I'll get started on lunch." Izuku nods and heads to his room.

"Can I borrow your computer to look up some job requests" Shanks asks politely.

"Yea, its in this room, there is a phone on the desk if you need to make a call."

Shanks heads to the study and turns on the computer. He opens the search engine and types in looking for work. Scrolling through the results he sees a list of hero agencies looking for people. He reads some and declining the ones that want a desk jockey/coffee runner. He is looking for something more combat related. Almost giving up his search he stumbles on a job request for Might Tower, contact Sir Nighteye for job descriptions. He picks up the phone a dial the number after a couple of rings the line is connected.

"Good afternoon, you have reached Might Tower, how may I direct your call?" the receptionist answers.

"Good Afternoon, I am calling for Sir Nighteye about a job posting. Is he available?"

"Yes, he is just one moment" The receptionist puts him on hold for a few moments.

"Hello, the is Sir Nighteye, May I ask who is calling." Nighteye answers.

"Hello, my name is Shanks I am calling for information for the job listing."

"We are looking for a combat specialist that can train the incoming Heroes in hand to hand combat, teamwork, defensive maneuvers, and strategic planning. If you are interested what are your qualifications and would you consent to a pre-employment evaluation of your skills?"

"I consent to a pre-employment evaluation. My qualifications are swordsman ship mastery, multiple styles of hand to hand combat, I am efficient in most handheld weapons. My physical capabilities are well above average. I have led hundreds of people in defense of my land into victorious battles. I am extremely skilled in infiltration and stealth."

"Impressive, do you have a quirk?"

"Yes, I can channel red lightning from my sword with 100 percent accuracy. Without the sword I can use it for a wide ranged attack. There is something else but I'm not sure you would believe me if I told you."

"Try me, you would be surprised the number of impossible events happen here on a daily basis."

"Here goes nothing, I'll try my best to explain it. I am not from here, I have no papers of my birth, or any records of me. Up until yesterday I didn't exist here."

"What do you mean, are you from another country?"

"Um not really, I'm from another dimension or world called The Grandline it is an ocean and island world and I got shipwrecked and washed up on Dagobah beach. I was found by a couple of kids and taken to a residence close by. I have looked for a way back and can not seem to find one."

"I see, can you confirm this, do you have anything to prove you are not from here?"

"I have some of the currency used there, and my memories."

"I can look through memories, but I have to physically touch you, would you consent to this?"

"Yes, I consent, I must warn you it's a different world there and a different government I do not regret my actions, I did what I needed to protect people, and be free. In my world the common folk are treated as cattle, there are fates worse than death there. I will answer any questions I can when you look through my memories."

"Good, I'll keep that in mind, I also have someone else that can help and is trustworthy he is a detective his quirk is human lie detector. If everything checks out, I would like to extend an offer of employment, your skills are incredible. When are you available for an in-person meeting?"

"I am free tomorrow morning, I umm promised some kids I would help train them, one keeps setting himself on fire, and the others need better control, so they do not have accidents at school."

"I can meet you at Dagobah Beach tomorrow morning 9am sharp, I would like to see your training methods in practice if you do not mind."

"Perfect I will be there, for strength training I was going to have the boys clean the beach and remove the trash. I can not afford my own dojo, but I would like to open a training facility for the younger kids. I understand that quirk training is most done in high school, but I feel the kids would be better prepared if the knew their limits beforehand. To get to where I am with my power took longer than three years to master. My students want to be heroes, they want to go to U.A. I am told it is the best high school for quirk training. I am also aware that after those three year the kids can go out on their own. My plan if to train them the powers of my world since I already know I can use them here."

"I understand that mastery does not happen overnight, and I agree that not training your quirk before high school causes unnecessary casualties in our line of work. I will watch your training tomorrow if does not break any laws I will help you get a license to open a quirk gym I do ask that until you have this license do not work on quirks publicly it is against the law to use quirks out side of self defense or in defense of another person in public. Private property is different and there are no laws that quirks can not be practiced on private property."

"I understand, I will start them on physical abilities and hand to hand combat first."

"Agreeable, if there is nothing else I have you scheduled for 9 am at Dagobah Beach."

"No, there is nothing else thank you for this opportunity, I will see you tomorrow."

After the good-byes Shanks hangs up and walks out to the dining room. "Can I talk to Izuku?"

"Yea he is in his room down the hallway last door on the left."

Shanks makes his way to the boys' room and gently knocks on the door. He opens the door when he hears a soft come in from the other side. He enters the room; the boys are watching hero videos and Izuku is talking animatedly and writing in his notebook. Shanks calls out, "Izuku? May I speak with you for a moment?"

"Yup. What is it?"

Shanks tells him he applied to the hero agency Might Tower, Izuku eyes widen and looks up at Shanks with awe. He tells him about his talk with Nighteye and that he will be there to watch the boys training tomorrow as part of the interview. Izuku looks like his mind is going to explode. Shanks laughs "I came to ask you if I could borrow 4 notebooks plus the one you have on Katsuki. I need to devise a training plan for each of you." Izuku nods his head and grabs the books and hands them to Shanks. "Thank you Izuku I will have them ready for tomorrow. Be at Dagobah beach at 7am let the other boys know as well." Izuku nods and does as he's told. Shanks leaves the boys after hearing cheers of excitement and acknowledgement.

'Time to work on a basic training schedule, it's gonna be a long night'
