Comin at yall with a new fic. Not a full on crossover, so its not going in the crossover section. Inspired by various other MHA fics with One Piece elements, but mainly the following; Deku of the Mochi (AizenTheGoat), Operation (Lucy Heart of Fairy Tail), and Smiles and Puppet Strings (hentaiftw66). So, let us begin!

Chapter One: Prologue

Hisashi Midoriya stood alongside his compatriots as they listened to an electronic bug placed on the recent Number One Hero, All-Might. Their superiors - that is, the Cabinet of the Prime Minister of Japan - had ordered that All-Might and his closet supporters - Gran Torino and Sir Nighteye - be placed under careful surveillance.

'Hmph. And to think, these three thought that we didn't know anything about One for All and All for One.' Hisashi thought disdainfully. 'What fools. Surely they knew that we would be keeping eyes on Heroes who appeared to be too powerful. Nana Shimura was by no means a one-off.'

Zoning back into the electronic conversation, Hisashi frowned as the words came through. 'They've cornored All for One and All-Might is going to fight him...A fight of that manner will cause enormous casualties in terms of collateral.'

Turning his head slightly to look at the screens placed behind him and his comrades, Hisashi looked at the face on the center screen while raising an eyebrow. The head - blacked out so that they couldn't tell who it was - nodded. Turning fully around, Hisashi motioned for his comrades to follow him.

'We can clean up this fools mess, then perhaps I can go home, take a vacation. Izuku is getting old enough that he can handle my teachings. I know he wants to be a hero more than anything...and I will help him!'

(Time skip - 2 Days Later)

Inko Midoriya stared at the two men seated across from her. She knew their codenames - Hyo and Kirin - and had met the two multiple times since her husband had been transferred from the military to the Japanese Special Forces. 'Ex-husband.' Her thoughts rang in her head, a dull reminder that she was now a widow.

Beside her, her son Izuku slowly began to process that he would no longer be able to see his father come through the door to their apartment again. Never be held in his father's arms, or feel the warmth of his father's chest as he held back his Flame Breath.

Hyo sighed as he watched the two Midoriya's begin to tear up. "I'm truly sorry Inko. But Hisashi...he gave his life in service, not just to Japan, but to the world. I cannot tell the two of you much, but I can say this: Hisashi Midoriya was the bravest man I knew. And if I had the option I would go back then and throw myself in front of him."

"We all would." Kirin said, his head tilted down, eyes hidden by the flat brim of his ball cap. "Hisashi was our leader. Without him...Task Force Alpha is going to be lost for a while."

Mother and son nodded as the dams broke and the tears began to fall. Izuku clung to his mother, trying to comfort her, unable too through his own tears and broken gasps.

Hyo and Kirin looked at each other and nodded. "There are some things we need to give the two of you. All of Task Force Alpha had letters to their immediate family in case of situations like this." Hyo reached into his jacket pocket and withdrew two envelopes, one with Inko's name and one with Izuku's. Placing them down on the table, he slid them towards the still grieving pair.

The two looked at the envelopes and nodded, tears still coursing down their faces. Seeing that there was going to be no stop anytime soon, Hyo cleared his throat, drawing his attention back to them.

"There is...a little known tradition amongst the Japanese Special Forces, specifically for Task Force Alpha. An operative of the Task Force is allowed, when completing their first mission, to choose one wish that will be granted, to the best of the departments abilities, upon their death. This is done as incentive, should the agent in question wish to leave money, property, or even words to their loved ones...Hisashi wanted the remaining members of Task Force Alpha to teach Izuku here to be a Hero."

That caught the still-sobbing Midoriyas off guard. "Wh-what do you mean by that?" Inko asked, her breath coming in short and raspy.

Hyo stood and walked towards a nearby window, looking out over the Mustafa Prefecture. "Not many are aware of the existence of Task Force Alpha. And even fewer are aware of the techniques taught to members of the Task Force. If the population knew that there was specialized training one could undergo to become a superhuman...our society would fall apart."

Turning back around, Hyo stared into Inko's eyes. "Our superiors have green lit the training of Izuku here into becoming a public Hero who uses these skills. Along with these skills he would be given extreme physical and mental training - by the time he reaches the age of 18 he would be physically able to shatter stone without a second thought and possess the mental fortitude of a hardened veteran."

Both mother and son looked hopeful behind the tears in their eyes. Hyo hated to crush that hope, but he forced himself to say the rest of the news.

"Unfortunately, this would require Izuku to become what the government designates as an Anti-Hero. Do either of you know what that is?"

Inko shook her head, which was typical. The technical classification of Anti-Heroes was a highly kept secret from the general public. It was Izuku's response, a single nod, that drew a raised eyebrow from the man.

"An Anti-Hero, as classified by the United Nations, is still a Hero. But while Heroes like All-Might and Best Jeanist show restraint, other Heroes are given a free pass from the UN to freely use excessive force. These individuals are also at the beck and call of the UN. If a situation requires the use of Heroes, and the UN believes that lethal force is necessary, then Anti-Heroes are given carte blanche to use it."

Inko tried to process this. She was a wreck, she knew it. Her husband had just died, and now her son...her only son was being offered the chance to achieve his dream but at the cost of his soul.

"I'll do it."

The three adults turned to look at Izuku, who was furiously wiping away tears. "Izuku think about this!" Inko cried, reaching out and grasping her sons shoulders. "If you do this you can't be a Hero like All-Might! What about your dream?!"

"Mom...I need to...need to be realistic about this. My-my dream is to be a Hero like All-Might...A Hero who can save everyone with a smile. I wanted to be like him because...because I didn't want to be worthless. I wanted...I wanted to save at least one person to prove that."

Izuku stopped and drew in several shaky breaths, hugging himself tighter before relaxing. "But now...now that Dad is dead...I need to do this. He believed in me Mom, he always did. And this...this may not be my dream but is as close an opportunity as I will ever get. So I accept this, even if it means I can never be the Hero I wanted to be. I can never be a Hero that the world needs or deserves. I can never help people feel entirely at peace. Even if they don't know what I do, I will and I will never be able to forgive myself -

I WILL BECOME A HERO! IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT KIND OF HERO! I'LL BECOME ONE FOR DAD AND I'LL DO WHAT HE DID! BECAUSE HE'S MY HERO!"

Inko cried as she enveloped her son, while Hyo and Kirin gave small smiles at the resolve Izuku showed. A similar one to his father.

"Then, Izuku Midoriya, it is an honor to train you on how to be a Hero. I promise you that by the time you enter High School you'll be able to run circles around any and all others, even those with the most powerful Quirks. After-all,"

Hyo's smile widened into a full faced grin, revealing a mess of razor sharp canines "those who learn the Rokushiki are amongst the highest caliber of super-humans."

CUT! Chapter One is done. Real quick:

This is the second to last new fic. I have an idea for another one, and I like the concept, but it all depends. So please, stop messaging me with requests.

I do not have an idea for the pairing. However, I will be deciding from my pool of best girls - Uraraka, Yaoyoruzu, Kendou, and maybe one of the older heroines (Nejirie and Mirko). Y'all vote for who you want. The choice will not influence overall moments in the plot, but will influence character growth...which might affect the plot...so yea.

(Yo, quick note. Gave this some more thought, and along with the aforementioned girls, the inclusion of Shiozaki is also there.)

UPDATE: MARCH 3,2020: I NEED A HELPER! SOMEONE WHO CAN EITHER BETA OR WORK WITH ME TO WRITE! PLEASE HELP! MESSAGE IF INTERESTED!
