Mafia.

That term carried much more impact than yakuza these days. Japan's organized crime dwindled because of All Might but everybody knew it was a different story across the globe. Mafia meant crime. They were lords of sins and the ones who controlled 80% of the underground shady businesses. The rest of the 20% were villains and small time crooks that heroes capture on a daily basis.

To say that Katsuki was surprised was an understatement of the year. Color him appalled, bewildered, astonished - no, petrified, even! Like, what the fucking hell?

Sawada is a mafioso?! Then how about his squad? Wait, he did call them his guardians... Does that mean there are at least 4mafioso's in the school? Wait, is Deku even counted? Well, aside from family, Sawada called him his guardian too... And Eyebags? He remembered the Lion Head claiming Eyebags as his male aide... Male aide to which work exactly, Katsuki didn't want to find out.

"How do you say that the Vongola Decimo that I am is connected to the Neo Vongola Primo you are talking about? Just because we are from the same group doesn't mean we are the same person, now, right?"

"Your so called quirk?" All For One chuckled. "The Dying Will Flames is a signature too recognizable to those who understood what it was."

"Ah, it seems you know a bit of Italian underground organizations. As expected of Japan's king, I shall give you that. But careful now. We do not want the Vindice coming at us in all their animated corpses glory. Oh, wait!" the damned mafioso-in-disguise paused, and from playful mirth, he beamed. "Them suddenly appearing would work on my favor. They owe me anyway."

"I see that the rumors of you being a cunning fox and a sly snake are true."

"Lies and slander, AFO. Flattery won't get you anywhere. And besides, for all that the World's Greatest Hitman is my tutor, they call me the Saint of the Underworld."

Ok, now that was a confession, right? That him being the Saint of the Underworld or whatever that meant is a fucking confirmation that Sawada is indeed a mafia brat?

Gods, Katsuki didn't know what to make of UA anymore. Did the teachers know of this? Did the principal know? Hell, how is it that mafia kids were able to enroll at a hero school? What's their intention, anyway? Infiltration? Information? Inside destruction?

"I know your type, Sawada Tsunayoshi. You're one of those who believes in justice. Isn't that the reason why you are a vigilante, despite being a mafia boss, right? We can help you achieve that justice. We know what that word means. What it implies. Your freedom is with us. Our powers combined can help achieve that goal. To put this society in the right place. Society now doesn't know the meaning of justice. They don't understand what it means to truly grasp freedom. A world where people are labeled heroes or villains based on their quirks. I want to eradicate that kind of system," the villain boss said, laying out his plans, gaining sympathy from the so-called mafia boss with his own ideals that was clearly for his own gain, given how all over the place his statement was.
