The Charlotte Hero

Deals

Ochako POV:

Near the end of our little rest up, I walked towards the Vice Admiral Smoker who seemed to be sitting alone. "Hey. What are you doing staying to the side over here?"

"Not one to interact with people." He puffed out some smoke before glancing at me. "What about you? What's your deal with the Whitebeards and Midoriya?"

"He's a friend of mine and someone I hold very....close to me." I was uneasy being open with my feelings to Midoriya with Smoker asking another question.

"Midoriya is someone nobody wants to interact with. Someone that people would rather beat to a bloody pulp or watch it happen and egg it on. Even being around him the chances of you being put into hell is brought up so significantly. Why is someone like you able to stand up against all that?"

I thought of the answer before smiling. "Because he's my best friend. I get that Midoriya's a wanted person and most likely will have a lot of problems going forward. But....he's not a bad person. My family taught me to be a good person to those that are good and try and speak out against things that are just plain wrong. And to be honest, Midoriya didn't have someone like that on his side before the Whitebeards. So I wanted to be that even if it's not a big role so he knows the world isn't completely against him."

Smoker blew out some smoke before smirking. "I think I get it, kid. Midoriya's a lucky man to have someone with a strong sense of justice like yours on his side."

"Now it's time for me to ask you a question, Smoker. What happened with Yaoyorozu and Akainu?"

"Hmmm....To make a long story short, Yaoyorozu took some punishment due to her actions. I'm not full on the details, but she was disowned thanks to it. The answers for what happened to her after are kinda all out there. Some say Akainu finished the job after she left UA, some say Kaido took her as an informant, other say she joined the Revolutionary Army. It's hard to get a complete and worthwhile answer. The end of it though is nobody's truly heard anything about her for about two years. Why do you ask?"

"She was an old classmate and someone that Midoriya and I at least want to know what happened. I guess in the end, we're just curious what really happened."

Smoker blew out a bit of smoke before answering. "Sadly, I don't know. All I know is that Yaoyorozu was disowned from her family and is alive. Issue is, I don't know where. But there is one group you should look into and be mindful of. The Revolutionary Army. I don't know a lot of their members, but their top officers are people to be mindful of. They're not the type to sit down lightly. Especially from what I've heard of their newly appointed Chief of Staff. That one is almost on the same level as their leader Monkey D. Dragon."

I nodded while getting up. "I'll keep that in mind. Thank you for your time." I walked off towards where Midoriya was where he was talking with the group.

"Alright. Next stop we'll go is Dressrosa."

"Wait, why Dressrosa?" Juzo questioned.

"To make a long story short, our job is to take down the Smile factory. We stopped the production of SAD which is used to make Smile, but as long as Caesar is still here, there's a chance Doflamingo could just make more of it if he gets Caesar back. That we'll use to our advantage."

Endeavor spoke up to explain the plan. "Shoto, Dabi and I will make contact with Doflamingo. We will him an ultimatum. Caesar for his Warlord title."

"Wait, why is the Warlord title so important?" Eri questioned this while sitting on Kaina's lap with her explaining.

"If he loses the Warlord status, that means Doflamingo won't be protected by the Marines anymore. Which means he'll just be a normal pirate again."

"Using that as a diversion, we'll split into a few teams. One is to find and destroy the Smile factory which is the main reason we're going. The second is to find the samurai Kanjuro. He's somewhere in the kingdom. The final group will remain on the ship and protect Eri and Momonosuke. Sound like a plan?"
