Hey there, I wanted to give you a little something. I am on spring break and I have some free time, so why not update a story? How about my most popular one? Well, lets go!
So first things, why haven't I updated since December or regular since August? Quick answer: Life. Like I mention before I am finishing a master's degree and this thing is not the easiest thing to do, making sure that everything is in order and my grades are on par is already hard enough, but also making deadlines, making sure the work is good enough, attend meetings and so many other things that made me have almost no life outside of work. Also, I have to deal with graduation, moving out of my place and then trying to get a job, things haven't been easy, although I think I can come back to write down chapters around end of May or the start of June, I am going to be settled by then. Like I said in other chapters this is a hobby, one that I really like, but I am not getting paid or making any promises. I apologize but at least I am giving a reason other than other writers than I see saying ´´I move on with my life´´ or the worst kind ´´I am deleting these stories you all like because I don't want to remember these things, screw you if you ended up liking thse´´.
I hope to get back into these stories and make you all happy. So lets get things ready.
A few days later.
All Might was getting ready for his upcoming ´´big announcement´´, the other pro heroes from UA thought he wouldn't go forward with that idea, but he and Luffy made a deal and he lost the fight.
''Are you really going to do this?'' Asked Aizawa.
''Yes, All Might is many things but holding back on deal isn't one of them. Me and young Luffy made a bet, I lost the fight so I must continue with our agreement.'' Said All Might.
The pros couldn't believe that the number one hero was actually going to say in live TV that he isn't the Symbol of Peace. That was going to be something to look forward to in term of consequences.
''Do you have enough time to make your speech today?'' Asked President Mic
''I haven't used my powers at all today, its going to be easy.'' Said All Might.
''What about Nigheteye? What he said?' Asked Recovery Girl.
''He said I shouldn't go forward and I was being delusional, but I made up my mind and well…I don't want to get in bed terms with young Luffy even more. Sometimes that young boy scares me.'' Said All Might.
''You are not the only one.'' Said Snipe.
''don't worry, I´m sure the public will understand. I mean…you´re getting older and haven't been achieving the same numbers as your prime days. In some ways people will see you in the way of retirement.'' Said Cementos
''Which is better than ´´I lost a fight against a 19-year-old pirate from another dimension''. Just roll off your tongue.'' Said Aizawa in pure sarcasm mode.
The others heroes tried to laugh or try to feel a little bit comfortable with the situation that they were in, but they still cant believe that All Might was actually going to honor that deal he made with Luffy.
''I can't believe you´re actually going to say that you are not the Symbol of Peace on live Television. I mean I know you did a lot but people tend to see you as the pinnacle of Pro heroes today.'' Said Midnight.
''I guess my lack of public appearance made people think that I am so sort of God that can never be hurt. Which is not true, the hole in my stomach is the pure proof of that.'' Said All Might.
''Well, lets see how people will react to this, maybe it will be good maybe it will be bad, who knows.'' Said Thirteen
''Can't we contact a hero that can see the future? Do we know even someone who can do that?" Asked President Mic.
''Try to be more realistic.'' Said Aizawa.
The number one hero saw it was almost time, he saw his colleagues and gave them a little laugh as he buffed up to his All might form.
''Wish me luck everyone.'' Said All Might with a smile.
''Break a leg.'' Said Nezu.
The number one hero nod at that and soon blast off to the place where the conference would be happening. It wasn't difficult to arrange one, all you have to do is to say All Might wants to make a live conference and any place would offer their spots for him to do it.
''Do you think people will accept this new status quo for him?" Asked President Mic to Nezu
''I pray to God it does.'' Said Nezu
The rodent soon activated a giant HD Screen TV, he made sure that the channel that they were watching was the one where the conference would be happening.
At a big conference at Musutafu
Some spokesperson was giving some kind of warm speech as they entire crowd waits for All Might, they could hear him coming with his speed of glory so it was about time to make the entrance for the big guy.
''And here it is folks! The Number one hero himself…All Might!'' Said the spokesperson as All Might showed up on the podium.
''DO NOT FEAR! I AM HERE!'' Scream him as everyone of course went nuts upon seeing the number one hero in person.
The crowd went ecstatic and cheered for the big guy blonde hero, All Might was griming as always and he was ready to start his speech.
''Thank you! Thank you all. It's good to see you all in this beautiful day, however what I am here to talk about it is something that I´ve been thinking for a while.'' Said All Might sounding a little bit off which made people a bit worried.
The crowd didn't know what to say to that but All Might kept talking.
''My dear public I´ve been a pro hero for decades, I fought more battles that I could count, defeated innumerous enemies, help maintain peace in current society but as I get older, I think about the titles that I´ve got over the years. One specially has been getting me a little worried ´´Symbol of Peace´´.'' Said All Might as the crowd went quiet as they hear his speech.
With the UA staff.
The staff as all quiet, it was like nobody was even trying to breath to listen to every word in that conference. Either All Might would get a lot of hate, or he would be praised as always, but it was hard to tell in this current generation where people tend to dislike a good opinion just to feel smart.
''The suspense is killing me! Can't he speed up!?'' Asked President Mic all worried.
''Quiet! We are all nervous! Just need to be more patient.'' Said Midnight.
''The Straw Hats better be watching this, its all their captain fault.'' Said Snipe pissed.
''Oh they are and they are going to make sure he announces it correctly.'' Said Nezu worried.
Back with the conference.
All Might kept going on with his speech as he explained his reason.
''For years I've bene called ´´Symbol of Peace´´, the one who brought peace and happiness for the current hero society. However, recently someone pointed out to me that peace can never be symbolized and I am not its symbol and I have to agree with them, if Peace would be symbolized by something it wouldn't be me. I am not a Perfect Hero, I still make flaws and errors that is what makes me in check and show to people that I am human.'' Said All Might.
The people kept hearing almost like it was building up to something big.
''You see…I´ve been getting old and my recent job at UA has show me a lot of what the next generation of hero is capable of doing it. Things aren't like when I graduated, young heroes are ferocious and hungry for the change of fighting villains. I ask myself why are we getting so fired up when I extinguished the big evil doers that terrorized Japan and scared international leaders back to their countries. Did I do my job to well?'' Asked him.
They kept hearing him, the live broadcast was breaking records in Japan and the Streaming were also going wild.
''I love that we live in a semi peaceful Society, but I didn't do most of the heavy lifting, a bunch of heroes did and some of them even lost their life fighting for the little guys that the news don't focus much.'' Said All Might thinking of all the heroes who died fighting during his career, including friends and colleagues.
Some people thought about the little heroes that nobody talks about it, sure not every hero try to aim for the Top 10 but there are still the ones who died saving lives why some of the top ones have barely done something that scar them or put them in a hospital.
''I want the people to know that I am not someone who so prideful that thinks the entire world is only centered around me. I might be strong, but I am not a idiot.'' Said All Might.
The public just looked worried, thinking where this was going to lead.
''I am not the pillar that held society…. it's the entire hero system. Without it we would be living in a era of anarchy and chaos just like the beginning of the quirk era. I want to make sure to you all that I am not someone who loves attention. I might like Paparazzi a few times, but I also have a image to give to you all of a good hero, the hero that never loses. However, I think its time to change that tagline from my tittle. Which is why I am renouncing the tittle ´´Symbol of Peace´´ from my Hero description. I am not the hero that brought peace to the people of Japan…it was all of us, the heroes from all kinds. From the top ones including those at the bottom! It doesn't matter if you went UA or went to some small hero school in the other side of the country, you´re fighting the good fight and risking your life to save people, which is more admirable that anything else. When I became a hero at a time where crime and villainy where at their high moment, sure I worked hard but I didn't do it all by myself, I had the help of a long list of heroes who are the reason that you´re all able to walk peacefully in the streets.'' Said All Might.
The hero was at the end point of his speech and soon reached his end.
''I worked to the point of having almost no social life, it was recently on UA that I learned how much people have been relying on me to save the day. No, a hero will save you, don't worry about just All Might coming, if a hero comes and save you than you´re going to be ok. Don't be a picky person and want a exclusive hero to save you. I became a hero to save all and that's what I do to this day, but just doing my job doesn't mean I deserve this description of the literal symbol of Peace. I am making sure that tittle is off from my current descriptions and exhibitions, I am not All Might the Symbol of Peace, I am All Might The Pro Hero and I AM…here.''
The public went silent for the last part as All Might expected a lot of complaints or tantrums.
''I hope you all understand this. I know its hard to process but….'' Said him expecting bashing but people started to cheer.
''YEAH!'' Scream everyone.
''Uh?'' Asked All Might confused.
''All Might, you´re so humble and honest. No other hero would´ve done that, taking off their tittle and just calling themselves just another hero. It shows us that even the best of us is still a regular human being. You´re truly an inspiration to all of us.'' Said the spokesperson all emotional.
All Might heard that and saw the people cheering, he was beyond lost.
''What?!'' Asked the pro hero genuinely confused. He was expecting people to throw a fit and demanding him to stay with his old title, but they seem happy with the new transaction.
With the UA heroes.
The pros were expecting a lot of backlash or even someone demanding answers, but they seem perfectly fine. All Might just saying he isn't the Symbol of Peace and proclaim that other heroes deserve credit too.
''What the hell? I was expecting a civil war from that speech?!'' Said President Mic.
''Shouldn't we be glad that people are happy?" Asked Ectoplasm.
''I guess people love All Might so much that what he say they will like it. Man, the Straw Hats are right we are obsessed to the maximum with him.'' Said Midnight.
Nezu was beyond relieved that people seemed to accept All Might renouncement of his title of Symbol of Peace, he was feeling that as long All Might doesn't retire by announced things were going to be ok.
''I guess something like this isn't something to lose their cool. Sure, there were will be people arguing online, but that's the price.'' Said Nezu.
''At least his reputation is intact despite what people are not aware.'' Said Ectoplasm.
''Giving people state with him…its better off we keep this fight a secret to our grave.'' Said Cementos.
''Agreed 100%.'' Said Midnight.
''What a crazy day. I was so worked up over nothing, I had almost 200 pages of content to talk about this announcement over my radio show, now I have to redo all of that.'' Said President Mic.
''I guess people are not that worked up about a stupid tittle. All Might is great, but the Straw Hats are right, he is not the Symbol of Peace.'' Said Midnight.
''Are we being influenced by the Straw Hats?" Asked Cementos worried.
The group look at each other with a worried look, they were the pros that interact with the pirate group the most. Despite being in argument with them numerous they have to admit that they all had some good points here and there.
''People can be really easy to persuade.'' Said Aizawa annoyed at that.
''Specially in this Pro Hero era.'' Said Nezu with a smirk.
The Pro heroes just watch the conference continue as a very confused.
Hours later
All Might returned to UA, looking like he more lost than anything else in the world. The whole UA teachers were just celebrating that the public didn't went into a Purge mode.
''Look at you, it shows here that your popularity only increased. People are saying you are one of the most honest pro heroes of recent years.'' Said President Mic.
''This is not true!'' Said All might.
''Why are you…oh yeah.'' Said Mic understanding the situation. All Might still kept his original form and his quirk a secret from the general public.
The number one Hero just sat in a chair, looking tired and feeling a sense of dreed.
'You don't know what was like now. Shaking hands and hearing people say I am an inspiration for being open about who I am. I just told I don't want the title of Symbol of Peace, that's all. I am still living a lie!'' Said him all serious.
''Toshinori, please your time as a pro is coming to an end. You need to save your power for one big hero mission before everything is over. I know its horrible, but you held bigger secrets before and you have to man up in some of these areas. I know it's a lot to ask, but just hold on those feelings.'' Said Nezu. He knew more than the others teachers on what All Might was actually talking about, they just thought he didn't talked about his quirk because he overused and fear that someone might find a way to counter attack it, they didn't know about the whole ´´pass of the torch´´ and being quirkless part.
All Might knew what the rat thing was talking about it and despite hating this situation he decided to agree upon.
''Understood, I wont like it but its better than try to make things even worse.'' Said All Might.
''Listening to someone telling you to shut up, you are really changing.'' Said Aizawa with sarcasm.
''I meant when I said that my time in UA changed me, i got experience more ideas and different point of view from other areas.'' Said All Might.
''I guess he should have asked Straw Hat to beat you way earlier.'' Said Aizawa.
The other pros looked at the Eraser hero with some annoyed looks, but he quickly explained himself.
''I didn't mean literally; it was just a metaphor.'' Said him.
''I understand your point, but I don't like my current situation. My win streak was officially broken and when I tried to be humble and take off a tittle that I tried to set up myself, people are cheering for it. Honesty, how did my life ended up like this?" Asked All Might.
''Probably when the pirates from another world crashed into our school months ago. Reality left our lives, and we are just seeing where this all going to lead up.'' Said Nezu.
''I think it would be good to have the Straw Hats leave the UA areas, I mean…it can like a gift or something for the public forget about them. They haven't caused any news on TV and I think with my speech plus them gone for a few days it would be good for UA public image.'' Said All Might.
''I understand, plus it would be good to have some time for focus on the upcoming semester without having to worry on what they might do next. We should send them to a vacation or something.'' Said Nezu.
''But where can we send them? We can't send to a big country because they are going to target them and in the end we are going to clean their mess. I wish there were something we could do to show them what are our has to offer other than Japan.'' Said All Might.
Nezu thought for a moment, All Might had a good point, then he saw a pamphlet for a great upcoming event.
''I think I know a place. Summer vacation is about to start, and I heard of an event that it would be good
´´I island Hero Event in a few weeks´´
All Might saw the pamphlet and he just looked in horror at that. Nezu was phasing the Straw Hats to be his problem for the next few weeks.
Meanwhile with the Straw Hats
The crew finished watching All Might live conference. They´re happy that he announced that he is no longer the Symbol of Peace, Luffy was right about one thing, people didn't care. He was still a hero and was doing good, who cared for a stupid title?
''See! I told you guys!'' Said Luffy smiling.
''I don't want to live to say you´re right Luffy, because you´re previous ideas or comments have lead up to worst situation before.' Said Nami.
'What! Are you saying I am bad at making decisions?!'' Asked Luffy.
''Not all the time, but you´re a great believer of the idea ´´Punch first ask questions later´´'' Said Robin with a smile.
'Because that's always a good plan!'' Said Luffy and the Straw Hats just face palm at that.
''Man, its hard to explain to him without drawings.'' Said Franky.
''Just let it go.'' Said Sanji.
''The most important thing is that Buff guy finaly said he isn't the symbol of peace! This was the right thing to do!'' Said Luffy.
''You say it my dear captain. Your philosophy is really deep and beautiful. It makes my eyes pop out of my skull from shock and enlighten, oh wait I don't have eyes, yohohohoho!'' Said Brook all happy.
''Yeah Luffy, we know you can deep sometimes, but I guess this was your big beef with All Might? I guess now you´re guys friends?" Asked Usopp.
''I don't know, he is ok now buts lets see.'' Said Luffy.
The crew didn't know how their captain was going to see All Might for now. After proofing that he is stronger than the hero and making him renounce his ttiel of Symbol of Peace where would things go from there?
''I wish we could just find a way to go back home. I miss the Sunny and the Sea.'' Said Luffy.
''Well, whatever brought us here is still a mystery.'' Said Chopper.
''Yeah, that jerk star owns big time.'' Said Luffy mad.
''Ok, I´m starting to think there is more than just a star. There must be a reason of why are we here and were transported to this world.'' Said Usopp.
''I heard the term Isekai, probably is the reason why we are here.'' Said Robin.
''Oh is a term for people who are sent to another world? Do they get eat by starts to like us?' Asked Chopper.
''No, usually Isekai people have to die in their world to be sent to another one.'' Said Robin all simple as she talks about a dark subject.
''that's dark!'' Scream Chopper and Usopp in shock.
''Taking that aside we are fine for the most part, we haven't been harassed in a while, the weird cult that Robin has been spying isn't trying any games, the villains aren't after us which I am glad for.'' Said Nami.
''Plus, the mafia hasn't got any leads on us. We are totally safe from this point.'' Said Franky.
''You better stop behaving more Luffy! This comfort is not gonna last forever and I want to enjoy it!'' Scream Nami at her captain.
''Fine!'' Said Luffy more annoyed than making a promise.
The crew just thought for a moment at their current situation, they have been in this world for months and still no signs to returning into the New World. Despite the comfort they miss their regular life at sea.
''I still just want to know why we are here. Like couldn't they sent more of our friends too?" Asked Luffy.
''Who knows Luffy. More people from the New World would have turned Hero Society into a chaos place, besides I don't want to imagine marines or world government people getting their hands into hero with quirks and specially those kids at UA. We should be glad that it was just us and we are just trying to survive.'' Said Robin.
''Yeah, but I miss the Sunny and the sea. How can I be King of the Pirate if I am not pirating?" Asked Luffy sounding a bit sad.
The crew tries to comfort their captain but what wasn't going to be enough for the night, but they vow that they would return home, and they would figure out what caused them to be sucked into this hero world.
Meanwhile
In a dark deep city in Japan.
In a place that not even the League of Villains or the Meta Liberation Army knows a group of people were discussing All Might latest speech. Making them wonder why the change of tittle. They were a total of 9 people and all of them were cast in shadow as their little city was running smooth as always.
''Wow! All Might just changed his tittle! That's so cool!'' Said a little person in admit the shadows.
''What! How dare you say that! I wanted to fight and kill him! I wanted to be known as the man who kill peace itself!'' Said a tall man with long hair admit the shadow.
''What the hell made that egotistical giant change his ways?" Asked a woman beneath the shadow.
''Well, isn't obvious? Straw Hat Luffy beat him and show to the greatest hero of Japan that people from his world aren't the strongest.'' Said a tall man with short black hair who was beneath the shadows.
And end!
Who is this person? I will go into more detail in the next chapter. I wanted to give you all a good cliffhanger or attempt of one for the next chapter. Sorry if this one isn't the greatest, I´ve been rusty when making stories. My method is that when I make a chapter, I have key notes on where this chapter is to go and then try to hit all the boxes while making the dialog. Yeah, it's the greatest system but hey I been doing this for 3 years and this is for fun so I am not in a big worried tone.
I wanted to create some OCs, I have most of them figured already. Some are original creations while others are copies of characters from others franchises. I still need time to develop them and the place where the big original arc is going to take place. I just wanted to make a point that this organization knows that the Straws Hats are from another world, they aren't associates with the other villains' groups and they are interested in the pirates. Who are they? Did they cause the Straw Hats to be send to this world? Why? Those are questions for future chapters.
Now my opinions on recent stuff
One Piece has entered now its yearly one-month break, I am fine with that Oda needs time, and he is still sad about Toriyama death (R.I.P). Things have been crazy now ever since we stopped the Kuma flashback, I mean I know the Straw Hats are escaping this island but things are really tight and complicated for them. Also, the Gorosei designs of their powers are awesome, like Oda usually likes to show a goofy look when he teases someone in shadows, but no the Gorosei a freaking horrifying, Sir Ethan might be scariest one because it's a horse skeleton and the way that is present chasing hyou and cutting everything in sight is horrifying. Who ever thought those five asshole could be actually terrifying and powerful?
My Hero has been dragging a bit, I know Horikoshi health hasn't been good, but hey when he delivers a chapter the art is really good, the idea of Izuku going to Shigaraki mind to save his child form is actually a good one. I also like that Nana fully acknowledges its her fault for all this, but hey she cant apologize and stop time, I still don't like that when her scumbag son finally acknowledges he was doing was the night Tomura snap, if was established that he was stubborn and was always going to hate heroes for what his mother did than I would find a bit more interesting, but hey it's my opinion.
Also, I hope Akira Toriyami is in a good place. May he rest in peace, Dragon Ball was one of my earliest anime experiences, alongside Knights of the Zodiac since its really big in Latin America. I just hated that News sites like BBC and the New York times did such a poor job in overlaying this information. Like BBC did little research when making the report and the NY Times was AI made 100% and had a robot reading. Toriyama deserved the world and I hope he is in heaven and let's hope he with Murata and Takahashi. Let's all have some Dragon Soul.
Also, during Winter I got into StarKids productions, the guys who made the Harry Potter Musical and the place where Darren Cris got his start and now, he doesn't want anything to do with them since he is rich and famous. I really enjoyed The Guy who Didn't Like Musicals, found ok Black Friday and Nerd Prudes Must Die was just meh. I just love Paul and Emma, they are an underrated Broadway couple and I freaking love that they are the thing that is carried on the most in their Horror theme musicals.
I´ve been reading Undead Unluck weekly, its been really good, showing us probably one of the best female Shone character of the decade and proving that you don't need to rely on the fan favorite to win major battles. I just have a problem with the main villains, they have cool designs but they are so openly evil that are no fun, I mean in the way their leader literally talks ´´why would we trust each other? Are you crazy? ´´. Yeah Soul, Fuuko is allying with every Negator in the world and even the ones who hated the Union, use your brain you idiot.
Jujutsu Kaisen has been just a rollercoaster and a war on comments. Sukuna is not going to win. Gege wouldn't set a lot of things to just troll us, and its not like its going to be ´´This will be a game changer, the first Shonen where the villain wins´´. If there is one force more powerful than Sukuna and Gojo together are the high powers of Shueisha who control the magazine, they say yes and no to all of those plans. I don't know what is going to happen but hey Gege got something, the first major Shonen where the villain won 90% of the time, Kenjaku might be dead, but Sukuna got 95% of what he wanted, yes he is gonna die but he what desired the most. Yuji is going to kill him, and we can finally breath and stop treating Gege with death notes.
Fairy Tail 100 years is finally getting animated and I am shocked that Mashima still has so many plans for that series. Yep, Fairy Tail is not going to end so quickly. I'm won't be shocked Eden Zero ends for real and Fairy Tail is still going on. Let's see where this goes, I actually need to get caught up with 100 years.
Also Komi Can't Communicate has been my comfort Manga for almost 2 years now. I love that series. Should I watch The Apothecary Diaries? Is actually really good? Just wondering.
I also got into a series lately, a rather small one Mari No Dazai. For those who don't know is about a mother who is going for revenge on a group of 5 bullies who torture her son so much that he committed suicide. She divorced her husband, change her name and becomes a nurse on her son school where she plans to kill the bullies one after the other. Now the thing that I understand what the author is doing is making the bullies into different groups, like so far we are in 21 chapters and 2 bullies are dead, however they were the two dumbs. For me they are divided into 2 smarts oens, 1 middle one and 2 dumb ones, of course the two dumb ones are biting the dust first, now I just want to know how the others are going out. I also read the comment and yes, I hate that the ringleader bully figure out that whoever is doing that knows what they did and what they are like, at least he doesn't know it's the mom, also that guy is a serious sociopath who deserves death, I bet he and the villain from Oshi no Koshi buy at the same store and talk happily about their victims. Well, Oshi no Koshi is going to take years for that asshole die, while Mari no Dazai I feel its going to be a short series and its going to last a year or so. I still really like it, and I wouldn't mind seeing an anime of that.
In the end everyone thanks for being patient, I know this isn't much, but this is all I can do in one day. I have stuff to do and it was fun to come back and write, again sorry for bad grammar and bad writing, I am making this for fun and not to construct some three act stories. I am glad that you all stuck with me in almost 5 years, it's amazing how time pass quickly. Thank you all and have a good day.
