Son of Neptune

Parting from Home

Izuku POV:

The day had finally come for me to begin leaving home. To say it was saddening was an understatement. I spent most of my life on this island and met so many different people from it. I felt horrible leaving, but everyone knew it was for the best of the people. As such I had to do things right before leaving. The first thing was without a doubt to see Shirahoshi and my brothers one last time.

We all decided to meet together in Shirahoshi's room with her being...emotional for leaving. "WAAAH! Brother! Please don't go!" She kept crying and soaking me with her tears as Mamboshi started to look like he wanted to cry to.

"So, how long do you think it'll be until you return?"

"I can't say. I'll try to return when I get a notable amount of time off. This whole thing though is to help our people."

"But why do you have to go-re-me?!" Ryuboshi asked for me to try and explain it the best I can.

"Let's say hypothetically, we have all the signatures and the World Government allows us to relocate Fishman Island above ground. Do you think humans will be as forthcoming as they've been with us on the ocean floor?"

"I see. So you are trying to help push people to understand the Fishmen and Merfolk of this kingdom and lightening the burden on our people when the time to go up finally comes. An admirable goal, but it still is sad knowing you have to leave."

"I'm with you there, Fukaboshi. The last thing I want to do is leave this island."

"Then why not do the same thing here?" Shirahoshi asked through her tears for me to pat her fin.

"Trust me when I say I'd much rather do everything I am doing here, but I just can't. Sometimes, we need to do things we really don't like in exchange for the greater good." This comment didn't go well with Shirahoshi since she still wanted to cry. "Don't worry. I asked the guards to give you a transponder snail and the connection to mine in case you ever want to talk to me again. Just try and make sure it isn't during school days." This seemed to lighten Shirahoshi's mood for a timer to go off for us.

"Sorry to cut the mambo short, but we're out of time." We all started to leave before I turned back to Shirahoshi for a moment.

"I promise that I'll return. And when I do, I'll make sure to tell you all about the things I saw."

"Promise." Shirahoshi put out her pinky for me and our brothers to do the same.

"I promise." An axe began coming into the area for me to jump up and grab the blade with my hands. The shock of it came to all of us as Shirahoshi narrowly missed having it stab her in her heart. "Sorry, but we really need to leave now." My brother's and I left quickly so another axe or something can't be thrown and hit Shirahoshi. Another one came for me to punch and destroy it with Haki with the recent attack enraging me. "Sorry to cut our talks short brothers, but I have a few others I need to say goodbye to in the next few hours."

"We understand. Thank you for spending some time talking with us." Fukaboshi smiled at me for it to feel comforting knowing my family understands me.

I began walking to the grand hall to speak with the king to see Ulti and Yamato at it again for some reason. "THAT LAST ONAGIRI WAS MINE!"

"DIDN'T HAVE YOUR NAME ON IT!" The two attacked with immense power for everyone to just sit and watch.

"So what's the argument about today?"

"Yamato had her last onagiri stolen by Ulti and now she's pissed off." Praline pointed this out as everyone simply watched this unfold.

Looking down at me, King Neptune gained my attention to make sure I was ready. "Do you have all your belongings packed, my son?"
