A Legacy to Protect (JJBA x MHA)

Chapter 108: Santana v Achilles

"So that's why I believe the number four is cursed." Guido Mista said, stabbing a fork into his food. "It truly is the best motto to live by."

"Oooookay..." Gyro said, looking more confused than anything. "So...you're closer to Giorno than anybody, why is it that you're his third in command? Not to shit on Polnareff or anything..."

"Because two squared is four, I want to stay away from that cursed number as much as possible."

"You know, some people consider it a lucky number in certain countries."

"They're idiots."

"Mista, you're an idiot too." Pannacotta Fugo admonished his colleague. "We have guests, so please be on your best behavior."

"Hey, it's Giorno's nephew for crying out loud! Johnny, you're used to bizarre shit like this, right?"

"Unfortunately." Johnny said. "But that's what I get for being born."

"Jonathan." Kyoka glared at her boyfriend from across the table.

"What?! I'm a Joestar! Bizarre shit was bound to happen to me sooner or later!"

"You were being depressing again."

Giorno smiled, reaching out and ruffling his nephew's hair. "Well, he's right. Doesn't mean it has to be a bad thing. Our bizarre adventure basically began in this restaurant... after Buccerati and I agreed to work together."

"Really? Here?"

"Yes, he used to own this restaurant." Giorno said. "Now...Fugo does."

"I'm grateful you passed it down to me." Fugo said with a smile. "I...still wish I had gone with you guys on the boat...but...I'm glad I got a second chance."

"You had the choice to leave Fugo, you were never a traitor."

Izuku was writing everything down, much to Johnny's amusement. "You're really excited to learn about my uncle and his friends, huh?"

"Yeah..OH I'M SORRY! Is this creepy? I just want to write down Joestar family history...it's all so fascinating." Izuku replied sheepishly.

"Yes it is, Deku." Bakugo said.

"I don't mind." Giorno said, waving Bakugo off. "All of us have some pretty interesting stories to tell, right?"

"Oh yeah! Remember that one time where I got shot, an-"

"Mista, you're going to have to be more specific, you get shot in almost every fight."

"I DO NOT! MIDORIYA DON'T WRITE THAT DOWN!"

A bird fluttered down from the trees, landing on Santana's finger. The Pillar Man smiled and brought it to his face. "Hello there."

"It's official, my boss is a Disney Princess." Toga playfully remarked.

"Is it wrong to appreciate the beauty in living things?" Santana replied, raising another finger to gently stroke the bird's head. The bird didn't even flinch. "Nature truly is a wonderful thing, Himiko, people should learn to appreciate it more."

"You know, when you busted down the door of our original hideout and beat the shit out of all of us, I never thought you would be so gentle." Toga said, walking up beside her friend.

"Back then...the only thing on my mind was vengeance. I wanted to seize enough power to destroy Joseph Joestar and his family...but now my goals have changed. I no longer have the same hatred." Santana watched as the bird flew off his finger and into the sky.
