Those present in the conference room remained silent following the panther's conclusion, as the echo of his final words continued to repeat, waiting for them to realize what he was attempting to say.
Akuma no mi... Akuma no mi...
"Come on, it's not that hard... Its very name says it." He grumbled, resting his hands on his hips.
"Akuma... Demon..." The English teacher translated.
The panther appeared behind Present Mic tangling its tail in his legs and twisting the hero's torso with its paws to end up placing his cheek next to the hero's, watching him from the corner of his eye making him feel really uncomfortable.
Normally he didn't usually complain about that kind of behavior coming from the Principal, but the Doctor weighed more than eighty kilos and was hanging completely on his side.
"Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding! We have a winner!" Terkchak got off Mic's face and took the hero hands to spit out the hairball that had been bothering his throat for a while.
"Keep it, you've earned it." He expressed happily, closing the hero's fist and making the saliva drip from his hand.
"EEW, THAT'S DISGUSTING!" He grunted in contempt, causing twitches in one of his eyes, as threw the hairball on the ground in disgust and annoyance.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Luffy, Kaminari, Usopp, Mina and Brook couldn't stop laughing at the sight of the usually chill teacher losing his temper.
"Don't be rude Banana… Accept his gift" Zoro said with a nonchalant gesture.
"He's very eccentric." Said Iida with sweat running down his hair.
"This guy is extremely weird." Tokoyami added.
"Demons belong in hell... Or you may say that souls belong in the underworld... It all depends on whatever version you prefer." Explained the Mink who hugged his bristling tail, showing how ecstatic he was. "I've never been this close to a living one before."
The researcher's vague explanations left everyone with more questions than answers.
"Excuse me Dr. Terkchak, we need to wake her up so she can tell us how to go back to the past… Do you know how to do either of those two things?" Enquired the navigator, hoping for an answer.
After listening to the young orange-haired query, the Mink's ears moved in different directions, remaining silent for a few moments analyzing his knowledge to try to frame an answer before turning to the puzzled group.
"Is it possible...?" I've never seen something like this before... It's not like the ones that reside within all of you..." He responded by approaching the unconscious woman respectfully and grasping her hand in his, noticing her unusually heavy weight.
"WE HAVE ONE OF THOSE?!" Yelled the heroes in unison.
"Are you sure we have them too?"
"Just ask yourself... Do you have any abilities that do not belong to your species?" If the answer is yes, you can rest assured that you have one."
"UUGWAAAAAH GET IT OUT OF ME!" Mineta began to scream, scratching his hair and causing his spheres to come out from the friction.
"I've seen what that creature is capable of! "It's going to pierce our skin," the reindeer fearfully said, losing the color of his corneas.
Denki, Chopper, Brook, Aoyama and Mina followed Mineta reaction, losing control as they realized that they had something living inside them. In contrast, the rest of the students and teachers looked dumbfounded, focusing on how their body felt.
"Brook san, why are you shocked? You don't even have skin nor organs that can be pierced."
"Oh, right... Why are you so cruel to me Jiro san?" Replied the skeleton with tears streaming from the holes where his eyes should be.
"You'd better explain to them what do you mean, before they do something stupid." The General ordered.
"Calm down... It's not like those are living inside of you..."
"Huh?" They turned around with their damp eyes, stopping the ruckus.
"They live through you." Terk explained walking towards the group with a calm pace. "In exchange for their ability, they experience your sensations and emotions, as if they were alive... But they cannot control you in any way." Explained the feline almost slipping with a puddle on his feet, seeing the origin of it.
"Ah... he fell asleep." He interrupted his explanation when he saw the captain lying on the floor in a deep sleep, half submerged in his own saliva river.
"Yeah, don't expect much from him." Bakugo clarified, as Deku approached the pirate to wake him up after he had fallen asleep since the Doctor had changed to a serious tone.
"Basically, knowing what they are is of no importance, as they will never materialize or take control over you in any way."
"SO WHY ARE YOU SCARING US IDIOT!" Yelled angered Katsuki, Mineta and Denki.
"Groawr?" The panther played innocent, widening its eyes and expanding its eyes and stretching its pupils, which reflected everything around it.
"DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BE CUTE WITH US! IT DOESN'T WORK!" Mineta and Bakugo screamed angrily as Denki fell under the Mink's adorable eyes, running towards him.
"GARCHUUUUUU!" The blond kept rubbing his cheek with the panther.
"DON'T FALL FOR HIS GAMES, YOU CHEAP TASER!"
"But… but he's very soft... You should try it."
"Wait… That doesn't make sense." Yaoyorozu thought about the testimonies of those who had interacted with the creature inside.
"Momo is correct. My patient has one inside her that is capable of manifesting! It's not what you're describing." The doctor who knew the case well commented.
"She is a completely different case, I had never seen one of this before, only read about them..." He exclaimed passionately, unable to take his gaze away from what was in front of him. His whiskers were quivering, and his claws burst out of his fingers, scraping the air, indicating his nervousness.
"Them?"
"What do you mean by Them?" Robin was interested in the term.
"A fit body that is able to host demons on the outside giving them the freedom to materialize." He began to explain, moving the bandages of the patient face, trying to see facial features and then paused meditatively.
"But… "May I provide more information?" Asked the Mink, turning to face the General, who was at a loss for words.
"I'm not sure..."
"Hmmm..." Terk remained pensative. "Have you heard about Kizunas?"
"No." They responded pensively.
"Then, I can't give any more information." He replied, releasing the bandages that tightened like springs. "What do you know about her?"
"Pretty much nothing." Eraserhead answered.
"Anything?" He asked intrigued seeing how they all shook their heads in negation. "A name?"
"YUE," the teachers replied.
"Nee-san," the students corrected.
"CORPSE" rebuked Mic.
"Dead-Weight," Zoro muttered.
Sweat ran down the panther's fur as he listened to the variety of answers.
"Do any of you know how old she is?" His voice had lost the enthusiasm it once had because no one knew anything that might be useful to him.
They all shook their head.
"She seems to be the same age as Robin san or Nerumi sensei." Todoroki guessed.
"Ehm... No." The feline denied the answer as he looked at both women mentioned.
"SHE WAS REFERRED AS AN OLD WOMAN THE DAY I MET HER."
"Ah, finally someone who knows something!" His tone was eager once more, and he kept wagging the tip of his tail as he approached the hero, arms spread. "Talk mummy, what more information do you know?"
"Told you he looked like a mummy."
"Enough Zoro." The navigator scold effortlessly.
"SHE HAS LONG DESIRED TO GO TO THE UNDERWORLD."
"Okaaaay... What for?"
"NOT QUITE SURE, BUT SHE MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT GUARDIANS." The Mink's ears pricked up, and a huge smile with all of his white fangs appeared on his face.
"GUARDIANS!"
"Fascinating, really fascinating Takahahaha" Terk began to laugh uninterruptedly soaking the blond soaking in saliva.
"Is he all right?" Ojiro asked awkwardly.
"OKAY THEN! LET'S GO!" Terk commanded releasing Yagi, walking towards the exit
"Where to, exactly?" Nami asked.
"TO THE UNDERWORLD!"
"Do you know its location?" The skeleton enquired startled.
"Of course! We all know, but it's a forbidden... You know, something about no one being able to get out alive… Small~ unimportant~ details..." He explained playfully stretching out his words.
"LUFFYYYYYYYYY!"
The heroes looked worriedly at the pirate crew who kept complaining to their captain, unable to understand if he didn't care or simply ignored everything the Doctor said.
At this stage, the crew's temperament and demeanor were well-known: The shooter, doctor, and navigator were somewhat cowardly and tried to reason with their captain who neither mitigated the danger nor cared. Meanwhile the helmsman, carpenter, musician, and cook sought to control the boy's irresponsible nature by occasionally objecting to his commands. The swordsman and archeologist, however, did not quail at Luffy's decisions; instead, they simply obeyed.
"WE'RE NOT GOING, ARE WE?!" Usopp asked worriedly while shaking his captain by the shoulders.
"Oi, Kuroneko... Can we find out how to get back there?"
"No idea... Let's go!" He pointed towards the exit arching his back.
"Wait Terkchak!" Nami interrupted.
"Just call me Terk"
"Doctor Terk... So WHY should we go?"
"Hmm-eow?"
"She's right! You just imply that going to the Underworld is certain death, and you don't even know if they'll find answers." Nerumi supported.
"Well, there is a possibility that they won't find any answers… That's true." Terk answer made some of them unsure. "BUT! There is a diary written by the only one who made it back from that mysterious land… On it, he describes a river of souls; a channel of energy capable of healing completely anybody… But it is so painful that no one is able to endure it."
"So, someone made it back!" Everyone sighed with relief as Franky repeated the panther's words.
"Yes, at least his upper half."
"Huh?" The guests were visibly confused.
"No one knows how long he was submerged in water before becoming unrecognizable... But he did leave us a diary with valuable information." The panther cheered with a big smile.
"YOU SHOULD HAVE SPECIFIED EARLIER, IDIOT!" They all yelled with their razor-sharp teeth.
"Grwoar?"
"LUFFYYYYY!"
Three of his nakamas whined, looking at the pirate who was finally listening to the investigator who was focusing his attention on the captain.
"You can heal the body of... Your nameless friend over there... and then you can ask her anything WE want." He mentioned, with a smile, that he couldn't hide.
"WHAT IS THE POINT OF HEALING HER BODY IF NO ONE CAN GET OUT ALIVE IN THE FIRST PLACE?" Mic yelled angrily, leaving the Mink astonished.
"Please, behave yourself." Malakat called out, waiting for the deadened Mink to recover.
The panther shook its head, uncovering his soft ears.
"If we were able to get the corpse from the recon body, it implies that there must be a way back; they just weren't able to figure out where it was."
"Terk san... That diary you mention..." Robin was interrupted before finished her question.
"The diary describes the last journey to the Underworld three thousand years ago, when a group of explorers from different races descended into hell itself to make a wish to their God... But before they could reach him, most of them were killed by the guardians, or demons as they prefer to call them."
"GUARDIANS" Toshinori recalled the term used by the Oracle
"Demons" Thought the heroes, thinking about their quirks
"One of the warriors in charge of defending the researchers managed to survive for a longer period of time by fulfilling the last will of the team, attempting to return to the surface with their work... In the end, even though he lost his life, he succeeded."
"A Wish..." Robin said softly
"My skin crawled just listening to you... But wait, it can't becau...
"SHUT UP SKELETON, YOU HAVE NO SKIN! YOU IDIOT!"
"Katsuki san, you can't do that... You can't just steal my joke." The musician fall depressed to the ground after his skull joke was interrupted.
"That's frightening... Please reconsider, Luffy." Nami tried to appear calm but couldn't disguise her anxiety.
The captain listened to his navigator's request and noticed that a couple of his nakamas, as well as the heroes, were disturbed.
"Shaggy, what do you think?" He asked in an unusually serious tone.
All Might didn't know what to answer, it all sounded like certain death and he didn't want to expose anyone to that fate.
"I CANNOT ALLOW ANYONE TO BE APART OF THAT RISKY JOURNEY" He squeezed the pocket where he kept the medicine Chopper had given him, then turned to face the captain with a resolute expression.
"I WILL TAKE CARE OF IT... JUST AS SHE DIDN'T HESITATE TO PUT HER LIFE AT STAKE TO BRING ME BACK, I WILL TOO."
"ALL MIGHT!"
"All Might, you're insane! You can't do that!" Eraserhead protested.
"JUST SEE WHAT STATE YOU ARE IN, ACCEPT THAT YOU ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO INVOLVE YOURSELF IN RISKY SITUATIONS." Mic reprimanded
Students and professors argued the firm words of the symbol of peace; Who saw how straw hat kept grinning defiantly at him in response to his resolve.
"Yosh! Let's go." He ordered, cracking his knuckles.
"But Luffy!"
"YOU TWO, THERE ARE LEVELS OF STUPIDITY! BUT THIS IS TOO MUCH!" Bakugo complained, supported by his classmates.
"Shaggy is strong and so are we! We can handle this." He said with a fearless smile.
"You are handling it too lightly, you moron." Nami berated.
"All Might, Luffy... This is too dangerous." Deku approached, trying to talk some sense into the stubborn men.
"You are not forced to come along." The captain snorted.
"You can stay and explore Lemuria." Jinbei added.
"Zoro kun?" Tokoyami asked the swordsman's opinion.
"It seems the captain has already made his decision."
"We set out on a journey with a goal that we will not let slip away." Said the cook, lifting his cigar to his lips.
The Mink looked proudly as the daring crew followed him on the rocky trails outdoors, being admired by university students from all sides. Both parties could notice the Fish-men and the occasional Mink's excited faces in the surroundings... Faces that changed from joy to intimidation as they saw the path were the outsiders were taking.
The ears of the Minks ducked and the scales of the Mer-people lost their luster as the group was led out of the facility to a large eel station with only one empty exit where they could see some tracks in the water.
"It's been years since we've used this rail... I have already sent the communiqué to send a Shinkansen." The general explained to the panther who was patiently waiting, while the rest gathered in the room waiting for the group of pirates and All Might to change their minds.
"Brook san, you are the eldest! Can't you make Luffy to change his mind?" Jiro approached worriedly with her musical partner.
"Yohoho… Don't worry Jiro chan, believe me when I tell you, we've faced worse. Hell doesn't scare us at all as long as we're together."
"It doesn't look like Usopp thinks the same." Said Shoji turning his attention to the convalescent long nosed pirate acting sick on the floor.
"Mr. Usopp... Are you all right?" Koda expressed his concern, bending down to see if he could apply the first aid that Chopper had taught him.
"I can't go, I have the If-I-go-to-hell-I'll-die disease." He said coughing with a weak voice, pretending to express his last words.
"You should die first to go to hell." Tokoyami declared with a frivolous voice.
"LUFFYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"
"Stop crying Usopp, you can stay if you want to." Zoro grumble.
"No... I can't, I'm a mighty warrior of the sea, I can't let a little thing like going to hell...Where no one...has...survived..." The foam emerging from his mouth prevent Usopp to finish his words.
"Usopp!"
"Just stop overanalyzing, you idiot!" Sanji complained in annoyance.
"You guys are crazy." Sero could not express everything that was going through his head. Seeing the enthusiastic captain cheering with some of his crew while the weak trio was not convinced, but still continued with his decision; make him loss of words.
The heroes couldn't believe the straw hats' attitude. They were used to heroes taking risks during conflicts, but this bunch of criminals did not cease battling against a wild environment on their own volition since their first encounter... With that relieved demeanor and experience, they could tell it was a daily task, and that being involved in this new adventure was just another day for them.
Kirishima developed a strong admiration for the pirate crew who, despite the warnings and history of their destination, were determined to help their teacher whom they had just met.
All those mixes emotions, made him remember Mina's bravery on that occasion and how it had motivated him to become the person he was becoming, he admired the captain's persistence, who, despite his juvenile behavior, seemed to fear nothing.
"Someday I will be as brave as Luffy san and face any villain or catastrophe no matter how dangerous it is." The red-haired remarked enthusiastically, knuckle bumping.
"Don't confuse bravery with stupidity." Corrected the class rep, pointing with his outstretched hand simulating a robot.
"Besides, Kirishima kun, you're already brave."
"You think so?" Asked the red-haired surprised to his pink friend who only answered with a pleasant smile.
"Don't applaud him, their captain is selfish! He only puts everyone in danger because of his whim." Mineta interrupted disagreeing with Kirishima's thoughts, unintentionally drawing the straw hat's attention.
"Actually Mineta, they need to wake up Nee-san… She is the only one who can tell them how to go back to the past... It's not like they have any other choice." Yaoyorozu clarified.
"Oh, she knows how to go back to the past?!" Luffy asked excitedly.
"YOU DIDN'T YOU PAY ATTENTION?!"
"No."
"Of course he didn't pay attention! He kept picking his nose all the time!" Bakugo yelled irritated.
"How annoying" Luffy answered picking his nose.
"Then, what's your motivation for going?" Jiro asked curiously.
"A dangerous and unexplored place." He responded by transforming his eyes into stars that emitted a dazzling light.
"YES, DEFINITELY SELFISH!"
"And Shaggy wants to go too." He completed pointing at the weak hero in the background chatting with Robin, Terk and Nami.
"I don't quite understand why you want to help him," Present Mic confessed.
"We're friends."
"Your friend tried to kill him..." Eraserhead mentioned suspiciously.
"Ow, just like when we first met, right Ruffy?" The cyborg commented proudly, causing the captain to laugh.
"what's wrong with them..."
"I think we should convince All Might not to go," Midnight told to Aizawa.
"As if you didn't know how stubborn he can be... There's nothing left to do but trust his life to the Straw Hats."
All Might approached the group of teachers who looked at him uneasily.
"I'M SORRY, BUT OUR PATHS PART HERE... I CANNOT ALLOW YOU OR THE STUDENTS TO BE EXPOSED TO THIS."
"There's no way to convince you not to go, is there?"
"THAT'S THE WAY IT IS."
Aizawa sighed and grabbed a small piece of paper from his pocket that exhibited traces of embers but was not consumed by them.
"IS THAT A VIBRE CARD?"
"Do you know what is this for?"
"ETO, YES... WHO IS IT FROM?"
"It's yours...With it, we will know where to find you."
The blond looked closely at a thin line burning, feeling his heartrate increase as he analyzed the paper.
"Are you all right? You seem very distracted."
"I AM AWARE THAT THERE IS A MEANS TO DETERMINE THE OWNER OF THIS PAPER'S HEALTH, ALTHOUGH IT WAS NEVER PROPERLY DESCRIBED TO ME"
"Robin chan! Can you come here for a moment please?"
"What are you doing, Nerumi? It was Robin who threatened All Might"
"I am aware of it; but she is the member of the crew with the most knowledge."
"What's the matter, Miss Heroine?"
"Can you explain to us how this works?" Nerumi asked, holding the piece of paper.
"Oh, you have a Vibre Card" She reacted looking at the corner being consumed.
"As you can see it is a bit consumed... That means that its owner is wounded or in bad health... Who does it belong to?"
"It belongs to All Might"
"Your health is deplorable... Are you sure you want to join us?"
"DON'T INSIST; I'VE MADE A DECISION."
"Fufufu, how obstinate... Just like my captain."
"The vibe card indicates the location of the person from whom it was made, but if it starts to burn on its own, it means that its owner's life is disappearing... If it is completely consumed, it means that its user has died." As she finished her explanation, an awkward silence made its presence with the four heroes.
"AIZAWA KUN... IF THAT VIBRE CARD DISSAPEAR... PLEASE DON'T GO AFTER ME." The trio of heroes did not know how to react to the words of the symbol of peace.
Eraserhead let out tired sigh after understanding the hero's disposition. "STRAW HAT!" He called out in a raspy tone to the captain.
"You are in charge of this irresponsible and stubborn man... Take him back alive."
"Hehehe... Yes!" The captain smile changed from a cheerful one to a defiant one.
"AND YOU... DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT DYING, YOU UNDERSTAND?!" Mic shouted at him.
Aizawa spoke in a soothing voice as he passed by the hero's side, placing his hand on his shoulder before continuing on his way.
"Remember what I said? Your presence alone is enough to inspire greatness, so come back alive."
"Robin... Should I be worried about you making an attempt on his life?" Asked the hero intimidatingly, being answered with a sweet gesture from the archaeologist.
The students who overheard the teachers' conversation approached with concern for their mentor, giving him a group hug goodbye, with some of them on the verge of tears. Understanding that it might be the last time they would see him.
"All Might, I'm going too." His disciple approached as he saw the group leaving.
"NO, YOUNG MIDORIYA, YOU MUST STAY TOGETHER." He replied, confidently shaking Deku's hair, not because he felt ease, but because it was his regular technique of hiding his nervousness and making others feel safe.
"All Might!" Bakugo called standing next to his childhood 'friend'.
"We're not leaving without you... So you'd better come back!"
"AND YOUR FUCKING DUMB HAT!"
"Do you want to fight Bakago?!"
"YES! I WANT A REMATCH, SO YOU BETTER COME BACK ALIVE!" He expressed worried with a challenging smile.
"Count on it, Idiot!"
"What a strange way to show concern." Jiro whispered.
Todoroki walked away from his group to approach the navigator; despite being a relatively expressionless guy, his face clearly revealed his unease.
"Miss Nami... Please be cautious."
The young girl was moved by the boy's care, who did not generally comprehend other people's feelings and had difficulties expressing himself to others. "Don't worry... I know we don't look it, but we are strong."
"Don't worry, Candy Cane, I'll take care of her." Todoroki felt a pat on the back and turned to face the young straw hat, who declared confidently. "So, you take care of them." Luffy said pointing his index finger at the rest of the heroes.
"Why is he asking that to a student and not to us?" Midnight asked confused.
"Fufufu, I'm not surprised."
"Why Robin chan?"
"Shoto san looks a lot like his brother... He inspires him confidence." She smiled tenderly as she remembered Sabo.
"Robin, sensei..." Shoji approached with remorse, unsure how the others would respond to his friendship with the dangerous archeologist, whom they considered as a threat.
The young man with a half-covered face thanked her for showing him how to use his Quirk in a new way and asked for their safely return.
Momo was bidding farewell to Franky, offering him a series of ammo with different compounds for his arsenal, nervously retiring from the pervert who was being overtaken by Mina, who was running towards them with her arms wide.
"Franky Hentai san!" Shouted the pink girl causing the pirate to blush like a high school girl with the nickname she had given him. "Take care of Nee-san!"
"SUUUUUUUPER, LEAVE IT TO ME" He responded with his usual position, which he maintained until the couple of girls departed his sight.
"You got attached to her quickly, Mina."
"I couldn't help myself... I can easily sense the energy that people radiate, and I could feel her pain and loneliness the instant I met her, which is why I wanted to attempt to befriend her... You know, there are so many ways to help people; sometimes you simply need to be there when no one else is." Responded the always upbeat girl, who departed joyfully with her hands behind her back.
Not far from the pervert was a bolder one who behaved more appropriately while accompanied by youngsters; one of whom approached the skeleton.
"Brook san, are you really sure you want to go?" Jiro asked confused as she knew, sometimes the skeleton joined the cowardly trio.
"It's alright to feel scared every now and then... But we will unquestioningly follow our captain." The girl's eyes were blurry, she could not understand that blind faith towards Straw Hat, turning to see her classmate's saying goodbye to the rest of the pirates. "What if I had to put my life in danger for them? Would I?" She thought, focusing on the group of pirates who were united as a family ready to face the world. "For my friends... For our future, I will..." she said to herself.
Chopper was surrounded by the girls, who highlighted the importance of his job in taking care of everyone, causing the small reindeer to dance with joy while he insult them all.
"Sanji san!" called Deku
"Ah... You guys."
"You haven't taught us anything yet! Don't think we've forgotten!" Grumbled Iida.
"Just how annoying you two can be…"
"We did everything you told us and we still haven't learned anything." The class representative continued to complain.
"Speak for yourselves, Sanji san taught me useful baking techniques." Sato joined in, defending the blond.
"True, we can't underestimate any kind of knowledge! Thank you, Sanji san... Eto... But we wanted to learn your combat technique." Izuku bowed gratefully turning in a jiffy to a despondent tone.
"And a gentleman doesn't break his promises... I hope you'll be ready when we return, because I won't hold back during practice."
"A... AYE!" The freckled shouted enthusiastically, flashing with excitement.
A groaning grunt could be heard not far from the cook's entourage.
"Usopp san, if you're so afraid, you can join us." Mineta commented with a drop running down his peculiar hair.
"No, I've already over it..." He said with trembling legs.
"I doubt it very much."
"I can't let fear stop me, they continue to advance and I can't stay behind... After all, I will become a brave warrior of the sea."
"It's okay to be afraid. Fear warns us not to do things that put our lives at risk." The little hero tried to cheer him up.
"Listen to me Minoru, it's okay to be afraid, what is not okay is not to face it... If fear stops you at a crucial moment, it can cost you or your nakamas death... So, I must go... We all have important roles and I possess skills that others do not." He said trembling but confident about his words.
"So when you feel insignificant remember that only you can do things that others are not capable of." The sniper's words inspired the young man who used to be ruled by his fear.
"You're right, thank you Uso..."
"Like going through small pipes or ducts..." Usopp Interrupted.
"That's what you meant!" Mineta shouted angrily recovering his insecurities.
Tokoyami was joined by Kirishima to intercept the green-haired before he fled with his crew.
"Zoro Aniki..." Kirishima called the swordsman's attention.
"I trust you and Luffy san to take care of everyone." He declared, offering his fist for the pirate to bump it.
"Zoro kun..." Tokoyami focused his gaze on Enma.
"Cut Hell if necessary, but come back with everyone else."
The pirate just gave him a smile, of all the heroes the raven understood him the best. Zoro took Enma's hilt showing a bit of his blade to return it to its sheath as a sign of approval to his words.
"Zoro Aniki is too cool." Kirishima expressed excitedly to his dark classmate who could feel a shiver running down his spine at the sight of the swordsman's response.
Unlike the other farewells, the Knight of the sea lectured the heroes on the old rules of his area to avoid any misunderstanding with the Mer-people, outlining the prejudice between both races and advising them to listen before speaking.
The heroes were smart, understanding his point of view and agreeing to his rules, letting him retire quietly with his group boarding the newly arrived water bullet train.
"Oi, Heroes!" The captain called from the train before it parted. "See you soon, stay out of trouble!"
"THAT GOES FOR YOU, IDIOT!" Yelled the most irreverent ones along with Present Mic.
"Shishishi" The train began to move out of the station with the pirate still hanging out the door.
"GET INSIDE OR YOU'LL FLY AWAY! STUPID! " Yamada yelled at the young man, whose face was distorted by the speed.
The heroes stood in the station until they could no longer see the train, as they were concerned for both their sensei and the pirates with whom they had unintentionally developed a bond.
The Fish-man escorting them looked at them with an uncomfortable gesture, suggesting some stops around the district that could lift their spirits. The heroes accepted his proposals and were directed back to the center, leaving at another exit of the same station.
The Fish-man escorting them, made an uneasy gesture while looking at the nervous humans; suggesting them some stops in the neighborhood that would cheer them up. The heroes agreed to his proposals, thus following the instructions to return downtown, departing via a different exit of the same station.
Everyone stayed silent and awkwardly peered out the windows; while Aizawa was the only one who did not follow the example of his students and comrades; Instead, he focused on the vibre card in his hand that was vaguely moving in the direction in which they had just departed.
