"By the way, have you heard of the latest news?"
"Do you mean Ainz Ooal Gown band?"
As her head lay on her desk, Galadriel sat up a bit, as she heard her comrades talking among themselves.
"Again today, they murdered five people." Sero said, as he read a magazine.
" People talk about them more and more often. " Jiro affirmed. "Nobody knows the slightest identity of this group! But their actions make them famous."
" It's terrifying to know that people like them live among us. " Mineta stated. "It's people like them who keep people awake without fear of getting killed."
"I admire them."
Startled, everyone turned to Ida. being reading, the boy turned his back on his friends, while he declared.
"The people who were murdered by Ainz Ooal Gown...they were murderers...pedophiles...corrupt politicians...homophobes...anti-Semites...terrorists..."
Turning his face to his comrades, he questioned them.
"How wrong is it to kill these kind of people?"
"Oye! Are you serious?" Kaminari questioned him.
"Be careful what you say." Kirishima advised him. "That kind of talk could get you fired from UA! A hero is forbidden to say such things."
"Who obeys the law?" Ida asked.
Thinking back to Stain, the boy groaned.
"People don't respect the law anymore! They don't do what they want! Some people kill for fun! Others kill to make money and with this money they buy the silence of other people who become their accomplices! And because of that, this world becomes corrupt."
With a sigh, he declared.
"It's to fight this corruption that I want to become a hero but...when I see what happened in Hosu...I wonder if heroes really have the potential to save the world."
Clenching his fist, he declared.
"All the people Ainz Oaol Gown killed were convicted of many crimes and yet most of them still lived in luxury and were certain of no repercussions! If the heroes have no right to punish these kinds of people, so what's the use of us? What's the use of creating laws, if anyone can circumvent them without any worries?"
Listening with interest, Galadriel wanted to smile. Nevertheless, putting on a calm face, she retorted.
"It's stupid what you say! It's precisely the laws that prevent the world from becoming anarchic! If there were no laws, we would return to the time of the cro-magnons, where the strongest reigned supreme over the others."
"What I'm trying to say is that Ainz Ooal Gown executing these people could do a lot to stabilize the peace." Ida asserted. "If everyone understands that criminals get killed, no one will try to break the law."
Hearing this, Midoriya couldn't help but feel uncomfortable with the idea.
"It is certain that the fact of being killed will force many people to think before taking action. " He confessed. "But, as heroes, we have no right to encourage this kind of procedure! People who kill murderers are not heroes! They also become murderers."
"There are people in this world who claim to be gods, when they are nothing." Ida retorted. "If a person kills a murderer, and thereby saves other people's lives, I don't see how what he has done can't be compared to heroism."
Looking at his classmates, he affirmed.
"I have no desire to cause carnage but... neither do I have any desire to become a hero who cannot do anything to protect the population."
Again, Galadriel wanted to smile.
"You are absolutely right, Ida! The government created the association of heroes in order to protect the population! However, this has not made crime disappear! Today, people use their money and corruption to continue their morbid activities! And the heroes can't do anything about it."
Thinking of her next plans, she thought.
"But thanks to me, the heroes will soon realize how useless they really are."
Opening his eyes, Kyô's father immediately clapped his hands on his aching face. Grimacing in pain, he struggled to his feet, while he was still lying on the ground. Wondering if he had abused alcohol, he finally remembered the face of the man who had knocked him out.
"Damn blond…" he roared, managing to get to his feet. "The next time I see him, I..."
Suddenly hearing a noise, the man went to the living room of the apartment and saw his son eating a meal. Eating without the slightest hesitation, the boy eventually froze in fear, hearing his father's voice.
"Kyo...what are you doing?"
Turning to him with a shiver, Kyô declared.
"The... The eyebrowed man gave me this! He said I had the right to eat it."
The next moment, Kyô cried out in fear, seeing his father's arm turn into a sharp spear, which he used to pierce the meal, as well as the table.
"WHERE IS THIS ASSHOLE?" the man roared, looking around.
Not seeing Sanji anywhere, he looked down at his son, before questioning him.
" Where is he ? "
"I...I don't know."
Unsatisfied with this response, his father grabbed him by the throat and lifted him off the ground.
" WHERE IS HE ? "
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
" Huh ? "
"Your pizza delivery has arrived." A voice asserted from behind the front door.
Immediately, Kyô's father let go of his son and rushed towards the door. Having perfectly recognized this voice, he directed his sharp spear towards the door, while roaring.
" I will destroy you. "
Unfortunately, smashing the door with a kick, Sanji knocked it into the man's face. Stopping dead in his tracks, he fell to his knees, blood pouring from his nose. Completely stunned, he let Sanji enter the apartment, while bringing a pizza.
Paying little attention to the father, Sanji stopped in front of Kyô, before handing him the pizza.
"Here's to you! Be careful, it's hot."
" Th ... Thanks you. "
Managing to regain his senses, Kyô's father tried to get back on his feet.
" You little ... "
Nevertheless, Sanji's foot crushed his back, pinning him completely to the ground.
" That ... ? "
Struggling in vain, Kyô's father was unable to straighten up, while Sanji didn't even seem to use the slightest force to immobilize him under his foot.
"Did you sleep well, Rochi?"
"Huh?" The man wondered. "How do you know my name?"
"You're very well known in this building." Sanji affirmed. "Finding out who you are wasn't complicated."
"Damn it! Why are you persecuting me? What did I do to you? What do you want?
Starting to light a cigarette, Sanji took his time before answering her.
"Here's what's going to happen! First of all, it's better that you know that there will be some changes in your life! First of all, I decided to live with one of your neighbors."
" WHAT? "
"Secondly, know that I am very sensitive to the crying of children and the cries of their horrible parents! Do I understand what I mean?"
At that moment, Rochi cried out in pain, feeling Sanji's foot press lightly.
"If I hear a child cry, I go crazy! So, I advise you to be careful because if I hear your child cry again, I will kill you."
Then, he took his foot off Roshi's back, before starting to walk away.
"Ryo, I wish you a good appetite."
Finally able to get up, Rochi looked at the cook with an asshole.
"Asshole..." He muttered, taking a step towards him, while aiming the end of his spear at the back of Sanji's skull.
"Huh?" Sanji said, turning his gaze to him. "Did you say something?"
Having had the bad idea to fix his eyes, Mochi immediately froze. Seeming to freeze, the man had the strange feeling that attacking Sanji would have been the biggest mistake of his life.
In his head, Rochi could imagine hundreds of different scenarios to attack the cook. And yet, all seemed doomed. Eventually, as his body was shaking, Rochi let his arm return to its original appearance and, seeing this, Sanji left.
Seeming to be waiting for him in the hallway, Sydney said.
"You're even dumber than I thought."
"Huh?" Sanji said.
"Dude...do you really think threatening him is going to create the problem? He might calm down for a while! But when he finds out you don't actually live at my house, he'll just wait for you. you go away to start over."
"I know it." Sanji assured. "I know that kind of person! He's a man who spits his anger and disappointment on a child! It's a classic case of domestic violence."
Thinking back to his own childhood, Sanji affirmed.
"In truth, Kyô and I are not really different."
"Really? But yet, you are so powerful."
" It is precisely to survive without the help of my father that I became what I am. " Sanji affirmed. "In truth, it is because I decided to leave my family that I was finally able to have the right to happiness."
Exhaling from the smoke, he declared.
"But I doubt that Kyô can leave his family and fend for himself like I did! So, I have to change a few things before leaving."
" How so ? "
Nezu's office
The principal was looking at all the papers he had to sign for today. The pile was almost 3 times bigger than him. Some of them were for the hero class, some for the rest of the school, but most of them were about Luffy and his gang.
Since the pirates had agreed to leave the honors to the heroes, Nezu had hoped to be quiet. Unfortunately, the paparazzi were everywhere and rumors kept circulating everywhere. People were starting to take a serious interest in the pirates and they wanted to know if they were allies or enemies.
And there were also videos showing Jinbe and Franky fighting against Hawks and Jeannist, which didn't help.
Even though Nezu had promised himself to take care of the pirate so that society wouldn't be in pure chaos, he certainly didn't like having to hear complaints all the time. They had been in his school for barely fifty days and were the most stressful days of his life.
"Damn it, I still have a ton of phone calls to make. Sometimes I wish I was still a rat. Just chilling, eating all day, but I guess that wasn't what life was all about. prepared me.'' Said Nezu all tired.
He hasn't had a good night's rest for a few days. He had to make many calls to make sure nothing bad happened to UA's image because of the Mugiwaras. His paws were hurting, his back was starting to creak, and his teacup was empty. instead, there was only a thermos filled with cold coffee.
"I don't know if I'm ready to start drinking coffee." He said trying to indulge himself.
Soon someone knocked on his door.
"What is it?" Nezu asked.
''Mr. Principal, Monkey D. Luffy is here with his companions.'' Said his secretary.
Hearing this, Nezu opened one of the drawers in his desk, before grabbing a box of medicine. Swallowing several pills, he then drank all of his coffee. Once swallowing everything, he took a deep breath, before saying.
''Bring them in.'' said Nezu.
A few seconds later, Luffy, Nami and Robin walked into his office, all relaxed, in normal clothes and looking like they had no problems.
"Hey, mouse-guy. '' Said Luffy, quite nonchalantly.
Immediately placing her hand on his head to silence him, Nami declared.
"Listen Mr. Principal, I don't know why you summoned us, but I assure you that we haven't done anything since Hosu! We allowed the heroes to get the glory! So, we have respected the part of our contract. "
" That's not why I wanted to see you. " Nezu retorted. "I am glad you are all safe and you all have my eternal gratitude! Nevertheless, most of the heroes who didn't participate in the battle of Hosu are still not very happy with all of you. "
To explain his reasoning, Nezu grabbed his laptop, before showing the pirates a video, where Jinbe and Franky were fighting against the heroes.
"Huh?" Luffy wondered, unaware of this. "Why Did Jinbe and Hawks Fight?"
"We had some disagreements with them when we got to town." Nami stated. "But I can assure you that it wasn't our intention to fight against them! We just wanted to help Luffy and the others."
"Maybe, but the government is still trying to find a loophole in the law to bring you all to justice." Nezu said.
Thinking about that, Robin retorted.
"Nezu-san, as you know, most of the heroes who fought in Hozu survived thanks to our intervention! And while I regret not saving Mirko, obviously people like Endeavor or Hawks could have died had they fought Darkness. "
Thinking back to her own fight against Shalltear, she confessed.
"Most of us were too weak to face these people! So for the heroes of this world, it wasn't even worth thinking about winning."
"I know and this would have been a disaster! Heroes vanquished and crushed? This would have caused total panic! The government is already in bad shape due to the kidnapping of Mirko and the massacre of the elite group of Endeavor. "
"It is certain that your world surpasses ours in terms of technology." Nami affirmed. "But our power is greater than yours! Nevertheless, it is obvious that Darkness is not a normal enemy! It is obvious to think that she is much more powerful than All For One."
Listening to them, Nezu remained silent for a few moments. Then, staring at Luffy, he declared.
"Luffy-san...I know you won't like my idea but...there is surely a possibility that your crew will be completely safe from any government-related threat."
" Huh ? " Said Luffy.
"All you need to do is join the hero league! By becoming heroes, you will be able to..."
" I refuse. " Luffy said, without even thinking. "I am a pirate! And I have no desire to become a hero."
With a sigh, Nezu affirmed.
" I would have tried. "
"What if we manage to defeat Darkness?" Nami asked. "If we manage to capture her, will we be entitled to true total immunity?"
"In all honesty, the government is so scared of the risk that All Might won't be strong enough to defeat Darkness that they will be even more scared when they see Luffy defeat Darkness! Luffy is an enemy to them! What if All Might doesn't is not strong enough to defeat Darkess, they will be afraid that no one can stop Luffy, if he decides to come a true Villain."
Letting out another sigh, he said.
"Of course, things would be much easier if we could just send you home! But now we also have to worry about what is happening in North Korea! If Kaido is as you described him, he It won't be long before he orders his new army to attack the rest of the world! And that could cause big problems."
"Never mind." Luffy said, getting up from his chair. "Anyway, I'll leave this world whenever I want! And right now, I don't really want to leave! There's still a lot I want to do here."
Looking at Nezu with a confident smile, he stated.
"No matter what the government of this country thinks of me, I won't leave here if they order me to! I'll do whatever I want, even if it pisses them off! And if Kaido decides to come here to destroy everything, I'll be there to kick his ass."
Staring at him, Nezu confessed.
"I don't know why Luffy-san, but I admire your style of not wearing what others think."
''I grew up like this. My grandfather is a Navy's soldier ! He always beats me and tells me to be like him. But I didn't listen to him and went to follow my dreams.'' Luffy said.
Nezu was a bit taken aback. Luffy is really someone who won't listen to someone giving him orders, if he was a real villain, the whole hero society would be in chaos.
Finally, Luffy left the office.
"If that's all you had to say to me, I'm going to leave! It's almost time to eat."
" Wait, Luffy-san. "
Getting up from his chair, Nezu stretched his arm towards Luffy. Seeing the pirate stop and look at him, the rat remained motionless for a few seconds. Then, finally, he bowed to Luffy.
"Please accept my apologies on behalf of the government."
" Huh ? "
"I know that you are powerful fighters! In truth, given the current situation, you are surely the most powerful allies that we could find if the situation degenerates! That is why I refuse that you see Japan as your enemy! If Kaido and Darkness attacks us, we will need you."
Staring at him for a few moments without saying anything, Luffy finally retorts.
"Have a banquet and it's okay."
"Huh?" Nezu wondered.
"When we've kicked Darkness and Kaido's ass, I want UA to throw the biggest banquet possible." The pirate asserted.
Then, he left under the surprised gaze of Nezu. Letting himself sit down in his chair, he declared.
"He's going to drive me crazy."
"We're sorry about that." Nami stated. "It's not easy to take care of him every day! But know that Luffy has only one word! If ever someone threatens the civilians of this country, Luffy will always be there to protect them! Our captain is like that.''
"If only he could make the effort to make the government understand that." Nezu sighed. "Anyway, thanks for coming! Although I'm a little disappointed that you turned down the offer to work as a hero."
Simply smiling, Robin put a small package on the headmaster's desk.
" It's for you. "
"Huh? What's that?"
"A cheesecake made by Sanji! It's a thank-you gift."
" A gift ? "
And as the two women left his office, the director unwrapped the package and saw the cake cooked by Sanji.
The cheesecake looked like it had been baked recently and smelled great, probably the best thing it had smelled in a while.
''Maybe it's not such a bad thing to keep them in the UA compound.'' Nezu said now with a smile.
The principal quickly poured himself a cup of tea and cut a slice of cheesecake, after taking the first bite he was pretty much in tears of happiness.
''It's paradise.'' He said.
Having come out of Nezu's office, Luffy also had a package in his hands. Having a packed lunch prepared by Sanji, he thought it was time to eat it.
"Eat." He declared, seeing the many meatballs that made up his meal.
But as he was about to eat the first dumpling, he saw it disappear.
" What ? "
A laugh sounded in front of him. being at the end of the corridor, Galadriel was having fun floating the meatball above her hand
"Look what I found."
"Hey, that's my meatball." Luffy retorted. "And what are you doing here?"
"I'm a student at UA, bakayaro." Galadriel reminded him. "And now that my wounds are healed, I can come back here to continue my education! By the way, have you thought about my proposal?"
"What proposal?"
"My proposal to train our class."
"Ah..." Luffy said, as he had already forgotten that. "It's true that I could have spoken to Mouse-guy about it! But I had forgotten."
Immediately, a vein of anger appeared behind Galadriel's head. Definitely, she didn't know what was more constraining with Luffy: his luck or his stupidity?
"Make an effort." Galadriel advised him. "Don't forget that I can help you find your other friends who are in this world! Besides, we have to hurry! If Kaido decides to do something, you better have as many allies as possible! Training us will allow you to have an entire class ready to cover your back in combat."
"I'll think about it." Luffy said simply, starting to eat. "YUMMY!"
Flustered again, seeing him eat while half ignoring her, Galadriel looked at the meatball floating in front of her, before asking.
"Is that Sanji's food?"
"Yes." Luffy assured. "I don't know anything better! No one cooks better than Sanji."
Feeling like giggling, Galadriel wanted to give him some Nazarick food to prove him wrong. However, not going to waste any food, she let the meatball float to her mouth, before starting to chew it.
Immediately, Galadriel's eyes widened, as she felt the exquisite flavor of the food envelop her mouth. Much to her surprise, even Nazarick's food seemed bland compared to this.
" YUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMYYYYYY ! "
