The Shogun

Chapter 26 : The First Blood

Then

"Friends, have a seat", Izuku says as the rest of them settle down in their seats. The green-haired man was standing in front of the projector that was connected to his laptop. Kaina, who was now in fresh clothes, relaxed into the seat as La Brava and Gentle took their own.

As Mori-san walks towards the quirkless man, Izuku says, "Now, our team is complete. Right now, we are the only ones in the room, with Melissa trapped at I-Island and Sakuragi-san is away for an important crisis". He then looks at everyone with a serious gaze in his emerald eyes and says, "Before we start, I have only one request. Whatever we discuss here right now, will not be spoken outside. The other members will get bits and pieces that Master and I approve of and nothing else".

"May I know the reason for this?" La Brava asks as she leans a bit forward, ensuring the chair is at an appropriate height.

"Because I don't want to fail at the very first step", replies Izuku. He then motions Mori to take his place and says, "Now, Master will take over and he will explain what we will be getting into".

The green-haired man then sits in his seat and the middle-aged man takes his place. Without waiting any time, Mori starts, "Our first milestone for this dream is to take down Shie Hassaikai", and the logo of the yakuza fills the screen.

"Well what is left of it", Mori adds and as he shows the image of Chisaki donning a plague mask, he says, "Around two years Chisaki Kai took over Shie Hassaikai forcibly. Our main goal is to pull Kai down, dismantle the gang, and save Eri-ojou and Oyabun''.

At that moment, Kaina interrupts by asking, "May I know the connection between doing this and saving the world? It doesn't make sense to me".

Before Mori could reply, Izuku looked at her and said, "Well you see, Chisaki is creating a drug that could get rid of quirks and he plans to monopolize it".

"Well, in that case, we should be working with them rather than against them. I don't see a problem with him being out of the picture but why dismantle the organization.", Kaina replies.

"Well, I would have worked with him if his methods were ethical. You see that girl..." Mori points at Eri to which the former hero nods and the middle-aged man continues to say, "Eri-ojou, the granddaughter of Oyabun, is born with a unique quirk that allows her to rewind any living being's state of existence. It is powerful to the point that a person can be rewinded to the point they didn't exist at all. Kai is using her... cutting her up every single day to create this drug".

Everyone except for Izuku and Mori was shocked to hear this. Kaina's face was pulled into that of disgust and La Brava gasped at her imagination. Before anyone could say anything, Izuku spoke up, saying, "That is why we have to bring that place down. I already have an alternative method to create such a drug and that requires no such debauchery. The reason I was kicked out of I-Island was that I was working on it".

"That man doesn't deserve to live", Kaina says, but Izuku remains quiet. As far as he was concerned, what Chisaki was doing was horrible, but did he have the right to claim his life?

"Poor girl..." La Brava says with an emotional voice and Gentle couldn't help but let go of his gentle aura to show how much he was seething in rage, an emotion that Izuku himself was keeping inside.

"Well, in short, the organization got split up. Those who wanted to remain in Kai's good grace stayed back and those who were Oyabun's followers defected and joined us", says Mori.

"I guess the reason why you don't have other members here is because you suspect that there might be a potential spy and that Sakuragi is acting as your spy in his group", Gentle concludes to which both Mori and Izuku nod.
