Galaxy Creator of Pisces: DEFINITELY no incest relationship for them. They're just very, very close siblings after everything that's happened to them. No romance at all.

phoenix: thank you! I really don't know what to expect from any fans of bnha more than One Piece, since all my crossovers, the main characters are ones from one piece.

Finally get to UA in this chapter! Enjoy~

Ace yanked Luffy up, grabbing his arm hard and flipped him over his shoulder, him landing just fine with the layer of thin air beneath him. "So, step forward when you do that, and put all of your weight into your front foot. Jet, try on me, I'll be fine." And he would be. It was two months after school started, and they still trained their quirks and bodies daily. They spared until they had bruises. Luffy could now turn bigger spaces solid while Ace could finally turn his whole body into flames.

When they went to school with the bruises from sparring, they'd say it was the other twin, and went a bit too hard. And Luffy had a huge bruise on his cheek once, everyone was shocked that Ace would do that to his brother. "You sometimes go too hard in sparring. He didn't do it on purpose," Luffy replied.

Bakugo had grown even more animosity with Ace and Luffy. They were polar opposites. Rarely angry at anyone, while Bakugo was rarely happy with anyone. A few of his cronies stuck with him, but Ace and Luffy had attracted a lot of people. It was surprising how many people hated their own quirks. So with Ace and Luffy succeeding without using their own, it seemed to inspire and draw people in.

The twins actually weren't trying to gain friends, they just came naturally. What they had loved most about getting more friends was the change in Midoriya. It was like he bloomed. He smiled, was happy. He wasn't teased for being quirkless, though some expressed pity. It wasn't teasing, and he said anything was better than that.

Jet grabbed Ace and did the move, only Ace ended up landing on his butt first. He wasn't hurt at all. Luffy said that Jet had pulled him wrong, and that Ace should land on his upper back first. Jet nodded and adjusted himself, and got it right this time. "Nice!"

The others gave him a high five. They were helping them out on a Saturday, which they usually did. They did it every week since the twins got their homework done before the weekend so they could spend it doing something else.

Midoriya was also an overachiever. And he was practicing his moves daily, though he had nobody to spar with unlike Ace and Luffy, who had each other and Gunhead when he wasn't busy.

"Hey, can we see you spar together? See how rough you are, since you guys sometimes have bruises?" Masaki asked, one of the smaller of the group of eight, along with those who sometimes joined in but not always.

Ace and Luffy shared a look, shrugging and saying that was fine. And the other eight were absolutely shocked with how hard they went on one another, slamming them into the ground and kicking under the jaw. Luffy punched Ace in the back, when Ace kicked backwards into the shin, making Luffy fall forward where Ace kicked him in the stomach as he fell.

Once Luffy got a bloody nose, they stopped. There was awkward silence, and Ace handed Luffy a tissue to stop the bleeding of his nose. "... You guys are terrifying." Ace laughed and Luffy grinned.

"Pulling punches gets you nowhere. Besides, we always have just enough control to not hurt really badly. And we get first aid quickly at home." Still nobody knew about their relationship with Gunhead, though they left the house to go places. They weren't trapped there. "Besides, we're both pretty durable."

They shook their heads. "You guys are so close but you beat the shit out of each other? It's just weird." Luffy pointed out that it was consensual. It was never to seriously harm, but to train themselves. They liked seeing one another succeed, so they let them go as best as they could.

Midoriya was taking notes, though he was looking shocked as well. Ace looked at his watch and commented that it was getting late. And dinner was coming soon. "See you Monday, everyone!" Luffy asked, waving both hands. They all nodded and walked their separate directions. "Man, Gunhead's gonna be mad again," Luffy said, looking at the bloody tissue.

"I'm not too badly hurt, and you aren't either. I'm sorry about the bloody nose, that was too far," Ace replied. Luffy said he forgave him and that it was an accident. "Thanks, Lu. So, wanna practice our quirks once we get home and rest for a bit?" Luffy nodded.

When they got home, nobody was there, so they took showers and then put on their exercise clothes. Gunhead had gotten mad when they went too hard, overprotective of them. They weren't upset, they were kept secret from the public, it made sense. If a villain held a grudge against him, they could possibly target Luffy and Ace.

Luffy worked on his invisible spear made of solid air, while Ace attempted to move himself when he was all flames. That was harder than Luffy's stairs, since he wasn't changing his entire body. They wondered if anything would change if people knew their quirks, not including the enhanced haki. It had widened its scope for both of them. They could now see most of the neighborhood if they focused hard enough.

After they were tired, they ordered pizza and ate that, putting the leftovers in the fridge for when Gunhead came back. It was a late shift apparently. They didn't worry, knowing he was strong enough to take care of himself. That was why he was a pro-hero, after all.

The next day, their friends looked at them differently. Not in a bad way, but like they couldn't believe what happened yesterday. "What's wrong?" Luffy finally asked at lunch. "Is it about yesterday?"

A few looked down or away. "We just saw how strong you guys are without your quirks. Made me feel kinda weak. Since you guys don't usually go that hard against each other or any of us, it was shocking."

Ace smiled. "You could get that strong, too, you know? There's no limit to how strong you can get. Besides, we're proof that you can be strong without a quirk. I know some of you hate yours. All the more reason to not need to use it," he explained, taking a bite out of his sandwich.

They nodded, even though some still looked sad. Midoriya didn't look upset at all, just happy seeing them be able to throw one another around. That meant he could become that strong. It was always nice to see him smile, since he used to not smile at all. All his life he'd been bullied, so having him this happy every day was wonderful to see.

The twins were closer to him than any of the others, even though they all hung out together. They'd gone to Midoriya's house, since Gunhead didn't let them bring anyone over, which was completely understandable. The freckled kid was so obsessed with All Might it was crazy. But it didn't weird them out. They watched movies in his living room, on the couch or carpet.

It ended up being a sleepover, with all three passed out in the living room after the meal that Midoriya's mom made for them. She was a nice woman, absolutely adoring Ace and Luffy for being the catalyst of Midorya being so happy. How he always went home to talk about his day instead of returning to his room in sadness.

They were stuffed and stayed asleep all night until Ace woke up to the smell of bacon. He groaned and moved Luffy off of his legs and sat up on the couch. Inko wished him good morning and Ace replied the same. Luffy and Midoriya woke up when Luffy slid off the couch and onto their friend. Luffy sat up, and yawned.

"Off, Luffy, off," he said, and Luffy stood up. When he smelled the bacon he rushed to the table. Ace followed. Their hair was a mess. Midoriya came at a more leisurely pace. They had slept in their clothes since it wasn't supposed to be a sleep over.

"So, Ace, Luffy, where are you planning on applying to? For high school?" the mother asked, serving the large breakfast, knowing from experience that Luffy and Ace ate a lot. They were polite even though they ate at a much more rapid pace than Midoriya.

Ace replied, "Our guardian is pushing U.A. and we saw the campus. It's huge, so we're gonna apply there. Hopefully we'll get in." Inko assured them that they had to. They were smart, strong and whatever quirk they had had to be useful if they thought making it known would make everyone want to be friends for a different reason.

Midoriya mumbled, "I was gonna apply there, too. Hopefully I get in, too." He sounded shy.

"Wow, you're gonna apply without a quirk? That's super brave, if they reject you. But don't worry, we'll still be your best friends even if we don't go to the same school. If we did, that'd be awesome, too," Luffy said happily. Inko smiled and Midoriya blushed.

He said, "I heard Kacchan will be applying there, too." Ace and Luffy nodded, expecting that. He could get in, he was strong. But he didn't seem like the hero type. He was angry and hurt others on purpose, plus he liked to tell people he was going to kill. Not exactly very heroish. "Do you think I can get in?"

Ace said, "Won't know if you don't try, right?" Midoriya nodded in agreement. He said he'd gotten strong physically from Ace and Luffy, but still didn't know if that would be enough. They didn't have an answer, they all knew that it might not be enough. But they would never know if he gave up on his dream. He wanted to go there because All Might was from that school.

Ace and Luffy were less interested in All Might than the campus itself. It was huge, and that was awesome. They could explore!

A couple days after that, they were at school, applying for schools. Four with the preference being U.A. There was a written exam and then a practical one where they'd show they were strong enough. It was exciting. The only other person applying for U.A. was Bakugo. Apparently, it had been his plan as soon as he started junior high to be the only one to go to U.A. Now three other people were, and he hated all of them. None of them returned that hate, just general dislike from Ace and Luffy.

The group of friends Ace and Luffy had were all sad they might have to part. Ace and Luffy seemd to hold the group together, and without them, it might fall apart, which would be sad. But they'd make new friends at U.A. It would be fun, and they really hoped Midoriya would get in, too. All three of them going to that prestigious school would be amazing.

Ace and Luffy questioned if Midoriya could get in, but hoped he would. It would be ironic if Bakugo didn't get in, but they didn't wish him to fail. Maybe U.A. could get his behavior on track and he'd stop saying he wanted to kill people. Maybe his temper and hate would die down. He never seemed truly happy, and dislike was mixed with pity from the twins.

There was a day near the end of school where Ace and Luffy finally used their quirks, but with nobody noticing. They didn't need to move to activate some of their powers anymore. It had been over a year with training every day and with Gunhead's support and advice. The best year of their lives. It was still difficult for both of them to be apart when at home. Gunhead said it would take time, after all, they'd been on the streets for 5 years and in a verbally and physically abusive home life before that. He said they were honestly amazing for changing so much in a short time.

So, it happened when a fire started in one of the classrooms. They were evacuating before Ace walked past it and looked at the fire, willing it to dim into small flames that turned white and dissipated completely, a gust of wind sending the smoke out of one of the open windows.

"What the-?! What happened to the fire?!" a first year student asked. Ace and Luffy were far from the scene by the time anyone noticed. And nobody suspected them at all. To everyone, the twins had never told a soul about their quirks.

Gunhead had commended for their first act of heroism. That wording made them give pause. "You helped people without being asked. That's an act of heroism," the pro-hero said, and Ace and Luffy beamed and nodded.

-x-

Ace and Luffy were dropped off at U.A., the car windows tinted so nobody saw Gunhead in there. Their pinkies were linked since they were nervous. They walked up the staircase through the sakura trees and to the main gate with a huge wall surrounding the campus. They looked around and felt strong people surrounding them. But comparing those to one another, they were both stronger.

They felt a familiar presence behind them, finding Bakugo storming in. "Looks like you'll have to finally show off your lame quirks," he grumbled and walked in front of them. They weren't bothered, they had control of their quirks completely. But it was when they felt a semi-familiar presence behind them when they froze.

"Ace, Luffy! Guys!" Midoriya shouted. They whipped around and could tell something major had happened to him. "What's wrong?" he asked at the dumbfounded expressions on the twins' faces.

"What happened to you?" Ace asked quietly. Midoriya asked what he meant, confused. "Why are you suddenly a lot stronger?" Midoriya's face went white. He twiddled his fingers and said that he couldn't tell them. It hurt them a little bit, but they'd been hiding their power this whole time, so him having a secret wasn't that bad.

They had the formal exam first, the twins and Midoriya able to answer every question while Ace and Luffy felt they'd aced it. They were all questions of things from school and general knowledge about heroism. And since they lived with one, it was easy.

After the test, they spent more time sensing how Midoriya's presence had changed overnight.

But they were painfully curious about it, since they knew he had not had this strong of a presence before. They all walked through the doorway together and headed into the hero course practical exam explanation. They sat next to each other, and Present Mic, a loud person, appeared.

Midoriya started mumbling, which was something he did a lot when they were around but not so much when they were at school with others there. Ace bumped his shoulder, and he put his hand over his mouth. Ace and Luffy tried not to laugh and focused back on the speaker. They were so excited, they could finally use their quirks somewhere other than the dojo and backyard. They were more than ready.

But, when they heard how it was going to work, both of them looked to Midoriya in worry. What was he planning? He felt stronger, but it didn't really feel stable. The presence wavered just slightly every few minutes. But, they were able to tune out how many people were around and pay attention.

They would have to defeat robots that had different numbers of points affiliated with it. Should be easy enough. When Present Mic said his final words after a very animated explanation to the practical exam, they meant a lot to the twins. "A true hero is someone who overcomes life's misfortunes!" Ace and Luffy smiled at one another.

Though they got different places with cards. "Looks like we'll fight on our own this time." They hugged before going to the bus to take them to their designated arena. They didn't share a space with Bakugo or Midoriya. They both worried about their friend. They hoped he knew how to do something to get any points or he wouldn't be accepted.

Luffy knew what to do to kill the robots. Two moves he could use. He could blast concentrated air through it or spear it. But he knew he'd be using his air stairs because he couldn't jump as high as Ace and didn't have the power to fly even a few feet up like Ace could with his fire.

They scattered and Luffy ran in the direction he felt most of the large objects, though they didn't have presences like people did. He turned down the right corners and alleyways to get there fastest. He was going to get as many points as possible, no matter if others needed points, too. This was to be accepted, and he came first this time. Ace wasn't there for emotional back up, so he would do this on his own.

He found twelve bots and short air beams through each one, making them blast apart into pieces. He closed his eyes and felt more robots and people and headed there. Since there was a lot in his way, he ran across the air like stepping stones once he got high enough with his stairs.

He jumped down and blew air from his left fist to slow his descent before he formed a spear with his other and slammed it down into the top of the bot, making it break, but not blow apart. He jumped to the other nearest one and slammed an air spear into this one as well. People complained about him stealing their bots, but he didn't pay attention.

He went street to street, stabbing or blasting robots to pieces.

He was sitting in the air on a square of solidified air, wondering how Ace was doing, how Midoriya was doing, before he noticed the large presence that hadn't been moving yet. It was the one that was pointless, but Luffy knew he had enough points to challenge himself and go after that one.

He sprinted forward on stepping stones that formed on his feet automatically. He didn't need to think of their placement any more. It swiped at him, but he ducked before he ran on top of it, planting both hands on it and shooting a very concentrated beam into it, causing it to blow apart, and Luffy was just close enough to get out of the blast radius, forming a slide to get him down.

He looked proudly at the mess. It may not have given him any points, but it was a test of strength. He wasn't even out of breath. The ten minutes were soon over, and everyone was looking at him in shock. He smiled at them pleasantly and then walked back to the bus, walking over the remains of the big bot with his air stairs, before jogging to the van from where he stepped onto solid ground.

He wondered how Ace had done. He was sure he would have gone after the huge bot as well.

-x-

Ace used his haki to find each bot, taking out dozens at a time with blasts of white flames hot enough that they vaporized the bots in one go. Everyone screamed to get away, though the flames wouldn't hurt them.

He raced to the next bunch of bots and did the same, stealing chances from others. Usually, he'd like to see more succeed, but this was for him getting into this school. He had to go all out and prove his worth. It was fun, and he was grinning the whole time. Finally, he could go all out without worrying about the off chance he lose control of flames indoors.

He got to see just how destructive his flames were. He turned around to see many looking at him in shock. He waved pleasantly. Then he saw the huge bot, and grinned. Could he get this one, too? He rocketed up high enough to be able to aim his hands and let loose enough white flames to blast a hole in it before it exploded, making Ace fly back but land perfectly fine on his feet after briefly turning into fire.

He stepped over the firey remains and sucked all of the flames into his body. Then he jogged to the entrance where the bus was waiting to take them back. He was sure Luffy took the big bot too. They were overachievers to perhaps a fault.

When they were back together they ran and hugged. "How'd you do?" Ace asked. Luffy put a thumbs up. "Did you take the big bot, too?"

"Of course!" Luffy laughed. The two of them headed to where they knew the score boards were. They were looking everywhere for Midoriya, worried about him with how strong the bots were. If they didn't have their quirks, they could have probably taken maybe two of them with blunt force. Quirks would really help you be a hero, but again, you don't need one to be a hero. They hoped their best friend got in. Please, let him get in.

They saw Bakugo looking pretty proud, and found Midoriya with two other people. They ran to him, seeing he looked upset but unhurt. "Midoriya!" they shouted and ran to him, asking how he'd done.

He looked ashamed. "I broke both legs and an arm. Recovery Girl fixed me up." The twins gasped. But at least he was okay now. Ace asked if he got any bots. He looked so depressed and shook his head. Ace and Luffy looked down.

"But were you able to land any hits?" Ace asked, he and Luffy smiling and holding one of his hands each. Midoriya said he'd gone for the one with zero points. He'd destroyed it, but it hurt him. A tall guy who looked strict came over, and told them that Midoriya had done it to save a girl trapped under rubble.

Ace and Luffy grinned. "That makes you a hero, right? And I was right, your quirk came really late. But just think of what you'll be able to do once you master it! You'll be suuuuper strong," Luffy said excitedly. Midoriya still looked ashamed.

The older twin but his hand on his friend's shoulder. "We don't know the point system. They could be tricking us somehow. Why would they include that huge bot if there was no point in using it? Who would go after that? Someone brave. And you did it to save a girl. Surely they can give you some points for that!" Ace encouraged.

"Don't fall into despair. We'll know in a week, right? I was hoping we'd get our results instantly," Luffy said. "How about we come over, too. We can all know what we got together. And if any of us failed, then we can at least have comfort from our friend, right?"

Midoriya asked, in a sad voice, "How many bots did you two get?" Ace and Luffy didn't answer for a moment. But they would be honest. Lying would just make things worse, as he'd find out eventually and then learn that his friends had lied to him.

"I got 60 and the big bot," Ace said quietly.

Luffy said, "I got 63 and the big bot, as well." Midoriya was shocked out of his sadness. And those around them gasped. The guy who had stood up and been really noisy looked at them in shock.

"You were hiding that power all along?" Midoriya asked. "I've been so weak this whole time and you were that strong?" Ace quietly said that they didn't want friends because of their quirks, they wanted real friends who liked them for them.

"That is very honorable," the intense guy with the engines of his calves said. "You sound like wonderful friends." Then he left. Midoriya sniffled and Ace and Luffy both put one arm around his shoulders.

"Why don't we go somewhere nice?" Ace suggested. "There's a good coffee shop our guardian told us about." Nobody knew the name of their guardian. Their friends had asked his name, but the two had replied that he had asked that they don't tell anyone. It had been weird to them all, but nobody pressed.

Midoriya nodded and the three walked out of the campus, a small girl with short brown hair looked at Midoriya in worry and sadness. She didn't say anything.
