Chapter 159: The big meeting
Soon after the Peanut Gallery requested to talk with the heroes that were looking after the cadets, Plunderin suggest that he and Drake can handle the interrogation with them, while everyone else investigate the crime scene that the cadets were last seen, causing everyone to say "right" before setting off to Australia for the investigation. When they got there, they were greeted by a hero, who then told them that the incident was so fast that they didn't see the Devil Brats took off with the cadets, causing the twins to start questioning him until Cleo call them over to see a video of Overhaul giving them and the hero council a warning to not get in their way, otherwise Cadet 1a will be killed. The Peanut Gallery then gets furious and set off to continue investigating.
Meanwhile, Drake and Plunderin was giving the heroes that were looking after the cadets a stern lecture about how they were supposed to keep the cadets from doing reckless things that could put them in danger, causing a hero named Kangaman to apologize to them for their irresponsibility and let the cadets go after the villain, which also caused Drake to get angry and screamed at the heroes, saying that the cadets could've been killed. After Plunderin calms Drake down, he told the Australian heroes that he just came from a phone call with his mom, and she and the other council members are not happy about this. He then gets a phone call from Hisashi telling him that he and Drake are needed so they can track down Overhaul, which caused him to pull Drake aside to whisper to him before telling the heroes that this isn't over. Soon, a montage begins as the Peanut Gallery work with other heroes (including the U.A. Staff, Ryuku, and Fat Gum) to do stakeouts and investigation to find the Devil Brats and Overhaul's new agency. Suddenly, Kiawe called Drake to tell him that he and Izuku finally found Overhaul agency, which is called Ultra Shie Hassaikai Agency.
That night, the Peanut Gallery took a plane to Harmony Island, causing everyone but the twins to recognize it from the time they have to get their provisional hero license until they reached the IHWO campus, where they saw lots of heroes waiting for the meeting for the begin, which also caused them to take the opportunity to get some answers on why someone would let the cadets get themselves kidnapped by villains. Three minutes later, the hero council appears and let everyone into the throne room, where the council themselves told everyone that they have been investigating Overhaul's scheme involving cadet 1a and they believe that the villains might be setting a trap for them by using the cadets themselves as baits, causing a hero to say that he and a comrade just found out how many villains are part of Overhaul's operation and their identity, which also caused King Mighty to speculate that with Cadet 1a and the operation to make instant villain drugs, the cadets' lives could be at stake if they don't save them. Izu then told everyone that he and his colleagues faced Overhaul twice, causing Tsu and Mina to agree before telling everyone that Overhaul used to have seven other members as co-leaders of the VOWD organization, which are Satan, Rob, Stormella, Pyro, Traunchbull, Mrs. Squid, and the Shadow King. The Peanut Gallery then understood the connection between the council and the VOWD before Hisashi calmly told everyone that not only the Devil Brats are going to be part of the operation, but they are going to take advantage of their flaws if they don't be careful. He then gives Kouna a stern look as everyone agrees with him.
