One Piece: Luffy’s Big Brother. - Chapter 108

…

*Three days later…*

Late at night, in an Academy, inside a room, two individuals were speaking.

Sitting behind a desk was a talking rat or something like that who was calmly facing a skeleton-like man in front of it.

“So, how is our guest doing right now?” The talking rat inquired with a smile.

“…Pretty well I guess, he didn’t leave his room apart from when it is food time and kept talking with his girlfriend the whole time…” Toshinori laughed awkwardly at this notion.

After that day, they couldn’t just leave Edam like that, humanly speaking, so they called their academy and reserved a room for him. However, after entering there the guy just didn’t want to leave his room anymore.

“Oh…?” The rat laughed at the idea.

“Yeah, according to him, he’s fine with just staying there…”

“… However, he should get out, it’s not good to stay in it so much…” The rat nodded at his own words.

“Uh, well, not really, we gave him a ŀȧptop, and he seemed to enjoy Yourtube very much…” Toshinori paused and then added.

“However, he requested to go and buy some clothes, We had to give some a set of high school clothes from the Academy…And since we don’t have the same currency, he requested to exchange money with a lot of Gold, jewels, and diamonds…” Toshinori said awkwardly.

“Gold? Interesting, they have gold too…”

“Yes…”

“How many?”

“…According to him… a few tons or so…”

“…Are they authentic though?”

“… Well he doesn’t seem to joke with that…” Toshinori too didn’t believe it at first but Edam directly showed him.

“Hmm…” Nezu pondered over that. “Then, you know what… please go and take him out for some shopping and then return to the academy.”

“Oh, and Aizawa sensei will have his first lesson tomorrow so how about you…”

…

…

…

Meanwhile, Edam who was in his room and sitting on a chair was facing someone or more like the projection of someone.

It was the moving image of a girl, a beautiful and gorgeous young woman.

It was, of course, Hancock… who was sleeping or precisely trying to do so… however, her eyes would always open from time to time and wander toward him.

“*Sigh*, sleep…” Edam narrowed his eyes and glanced at her.

“But… I just can’t…” Hancock complained and sat on her bed again.

And how did this video-call method came to be?

Simple… Hancock just didn’t want to sleep anymore… That stubborn girl could stay up and listen to his voice even if he didn’t say anything interesting throughout the conversation, completely refusing to sleep despite his insistence.

But… he kind of understood why she was so resilient to part with him…

Because he learned from her very mouth that he’s been missing for two whole months!

Although, she didn’t care about it any longer…

However, it was only after two days that Edam had an epiphany of some sort. Since he was staying in his room, Toshinori took pity on him and gave him a technology of their world called “Computer”.

With this, he learned the existence of wifi and the internet, which had myriads of use in one daily life and it happened to have an interesting method to communicate throughout the world with what they commonly called Video Call.

The idea to make this came from a very simple thought of his…

‘If I can send a vocal message, why wouldn’t I be able to make a projection right?’

What Yamote referred to as Spiritual Projection was established.

And now although the ‘call’ would last longer they couldn’t care less, and perhaps because he could see her and she could see him, she became much more obedient and listened to go to sleep… sometimes…

“You have to take care of me, you left me all alone… hmph!” Hancock complained using the best argument against him.

“…Oof don’t say that, do you want to kill me…?” Edam held his heart in ‘pain’ but still with a faint smile.

His aura that was transmitted over there through the device had formed his exact features forming a 3D energy image of himself.

For three days, just like a nanny or something he would mimic to stroke her head to soothe her.

Edam found this pretty funny to do, so he didn’t complain at all. It was new and fresh…

As for Hancock, although his stroking hand wasn’t made out of blood and flesh, his familiar aura that was although innately violent was as ever so gentle to her.

This simple gesture would, at first sight, look rather foolish… but it did work.

The distance wasn’t so much of a problem anymore…

…

After putting the baby girl to sleep, Edam stretches a bit as he did want to take a rest too.

He felt tired ’cause even though the energy used for these calls wasn’t much for him, it was still mentally draining to maintain the ‘channel’.

Plus, there was also Yamote who was taking his Ki to create that high-distance dimensional gate as he called it.

Aside from that, even if he was like a prisoner or something, it didn’t bother him that much, if that was the price to get home peacefully, why not…

“Yawn…! Let’s sleep…!” He willingly let himself fall on the bed and closed his eyes to sleep.

…

…

*Next morning*

Edam was already up relaxing and was meditating when…

*knock* *knock* *knock*

Edam opened his eyes and glanced at the door.

“It’s open…”

“Young Eden, let’s get out, we’re gonna buy you some clothes!” All Might or Toshinori entered and said.

“Oh?” As he said that, Edam’s face lit up and he stood up.

“Alright!” Edam said and then turned to ask.

“So, where do I put the gold and jewels?”

“Ah, no it’s fine I will pay for you…” Toshinori walked out as Edam followed him.

“What? No no no, I can’t let you do that, I hate debts…” Edam shook his head and refused.

“No, I can already feel the benefit of what you gave me, what is a bit of money compared to that, money can buy anything but health…”

“…” Edam was silent for a moment before nodding.

…

Both then left the Campus and reached the outside and arrived at the parking.

Edam looked on as Toshinori pointed with a small device toward one of these metallic coffins called cars and clicked a buŧŧon.

*Click*

“Why can’t we just fly?”

“Because, firstly I can’t fly, and secondly, it doesn’t hurt to act like normal people sometimes…” Toshinori plainly said and entered the car.

“Huh… well okay…” Edam shrugged his shoulders not really caring and entered the car too.

…

They were in Musutafu’s shopping center.

Toshinori gave him a credit card and they were then gone to buy clothes…

But, Toshinori regretted it… he shouldn’t have said that he would buy it for him…

Edam only bought a dozen of clothes for himself which didn’t cost much, however, what Toshinori didn’t get was that Edam would always count Hancock in when he would to shopping, and since he couldn’t care less about money or gold and jewels, he bought a LOT of clothes for her…

Toshinori’s strategy to keep a low profile was totally destroyed by Edam.

A young man buying so many female clothes alone was strange and would of course draw a lot of attention.

The manager of a shop even came herself to serve them and was shocked by that sight, thinking that it was some pervert or something.

But, she was fully charmed when she got to interact with the young man.

“Ara, is that all for your girlfriend?” The female manager asked teasingly.

“… Y- Yeah, I made a blunder recently…” Edam sighed but then chuckled awkwardly. “And I have to make amends… haha…”

The manager was quite stunned, that young man had a very refreshing smile, not really what you’d expect from a pervert. And most of all he had something in his eyes that was different from a pervert.

However, what the manager didn’t know was that Hancock could actually see everything at the moment they were speaking. She was the one to choose every clothes obviously…

And goddam Edam knew just how much Hancock could be extremely jealous sometimes…

It didn’t bother him that much since he couldn’t care less about other girls…

Meanwhile, Toshinori who was silently following behind was also quietly observing the young man and noting how normal and similar this ‘Alien’ was to them, humans.

Although he knew that he had some human’s blood on his hands but seeing him being so ‘human’ and enjoying his youth, Toshinori aka All Might just couldn’t bring himself to loathe him or anything like that.

Subconsciously, he came to enjoy this day.

…

“Hmm what about this one?”

‘No no, not this… this one there…’

“Okay okay…”

Edam and Hancock were mentally discussing and kept shopping for two more hours before finally finishing.

…

In the end, it was Toshinori who was mostly tired of following ‘them’ and they then returned to the academy.

“Oh right, and if you’re bored the principal Nezu suggested that you attend our Academy’s first-day lesson, what do you say?”

“…? Assist to a lesson? What for?” Edam asked curiously.

Toshinori shrugged his shoulders and said. “I don’t know all the details, Nezu has some strange ideas sometimes…”

“…Why not… I’ve got nothing better to do anyway…”

Edam got back in his room and he got back to his business, which is speaking a bit with Hancock till she was called for her duty and then going on the computer to surf the net as they say in this world.

…

…

*Early morning*

Edam was fetched by Toshinori and brought to the teacher’s room where he met a lot of other teacher heroes and where he was briefed on what he had to do, which was simply observing…

However, he was put up with Aizawa Shota aka that Eraser head from back then who just happened to not really hold him in his heart.

After a small waiting, it was time for teachers to go and greet their new students.

“Okay guys good luck, and please be lenient Aizawa sensei…”

They walked through a long corridor where Edam could see the various classrooms which each having different departments and specificity.

Though “walking” was a big word, Aizawa wasn’t just walking in fact, he was literally crawling toward his classroom like a caterpillar in a sleeping bag.

“Uh… say, why don’t you walk…?” Edam’s mouth twitched.

“I’m lazy…” He said crawled even more.

“…okay…”

From not so far away both of them could see a green-haired little dude nervously facing the door before entering.

However, aside from the green-haired guy, Edam’s discerning eyes perceived someone’s else very faint presence so faint that it was nearly invisible.

Just behind the green hair, what seems to be a black-haired guy with a hood entered the class without anyone’s noticing him.

“…? How strange…”

Edam was even sure that Aizawa too didn’t saw him enter the class.

Following from behind was a brown-haired, and it seems that she totally didn’t notice that human caterpillar for a reason or another and she entered the classroom and began to speak with the green-haired dude.

As they arrived closer to them, Eraser’s head quickly interrupted their conversation and scolded them.

Both of them were then introduced to the class.

“It took you eight seconds to be ready for class, rational students would be silent already…” Aizawa entered the class followed by Edam.

“I will be class 1-A headteacher from now on, you can call me Aizawa sensei and this is…” Aizawa said lazily and then glanced at Edam.

“… You can just call me Eden… I’m here for some days at most, don’t mind me too much…” Edam said not feeling the need to developed anything further.

“…” The students were pretty silent wondering what someone as young as this Eden was doing here.

Meanwhile, Aizawa quickly forgoes orientation before saying.

“Anyway, all of you, go and change into your sports clothes, we’re going out…”

…

…

And so, the class was taken out to the athletic field as Aizawa asked a certain Bakugo to throw a softball using his Quirk.

Boom! The ball literally exploded forward like a cannonball and Aizawa showed the students a phone indicating the distance made by the ball, which was over 700 hundred meters.

However, knowing that they would be using their Quirks for a test, the 1-A students became a bit too hot and Aizawa completely froze them with a threat.

Whoever was gonna be last in this test would be expelled immediately.

And then, they monitor the students as they go through each test to ȧssess their room for growth.

Edam observed by the sides being quite surprised by some Quirks sometimes.

Like, a little guy called Mineta having a head full of sticky purple balls.

Or a girl who’s quirk was to cancel gravity…

Or another girl who’s quirk was to simply create what she wants to.

Plus, her quirk was so great that Yamote even came out on his own, noting how much her quirk reminded him of spellcaster magic to create things out of nothing.

‘Magic huh?’ Edam thought, rather interested in the subject.

However, what truly drew his attention was another guy…

It was the same hooded black-haired guy who sneaked into the class earlier but his face was fully revealed now. Black hair, red eyes, fair face, a handsome guy…

He seems pretty lonely… but, his scores were in contrast top-notch!

What drew Edam’s attention to him were however some weird floating screens in front of the said guy. And strangely enough, no one seems to see those screens…

And so with some curiosity, Edam approached the guy at a certain moment and asked.

“Humm… say, what’s your name again?”

“…?” The student turned around and saw Edam as his red eyes subconsciously darted above Edam’s head and his pupils constricted.

“Uh… I… my name is…” the black-haired guy step back for some reason when faced with Edam.

“Morgan… Morgan Ashborn…”

“Are you alright buddy? You’re sweating out…” Edam asked and then glanced at those floating screens in front of the said Morgan Ashborn and asked.

“If it’s not too much asked, what are those funny screens?” Edam asked and then tried to touch them in vain.

“…” Morgan looked at him like he saw a ghost and slowly stepped backward out.

‘My lord, this is even more interesting, those screens are actually formed by magic to form an interesting kind of system to make a host grow stronger… Truly interesting…’ Yamote’s voice rang in his mind.

“Oh…” Edam uttered as it picked his interest but then his senses noticed something else as he turned his head around.

In a corner, hidden by a building, he saw a head poking out to watch the class.

It was actually Toshinori or more like All Might right now, dressed in a flashy yellow striped shirt.

Swing!

Edam disappeared from where he was and reappeared right behind All Might’s back.

“What are you doing here?”

“Holyshit!” All Might had a small fright.

“You look like a a p*doph*le, old man… you should stop stalking you know… if you weren’t the Symbol of Peace I would have kicked your ȧss…” Edam said and laughed softly.

“…”

“Anyway, why are you here, you look rather nervous…” Edam said and looked at the field again, it was seemingly the last one, which happened to be the nervous green-haired boy from earlier, called Izuku Midoriya, someone who didn’t show anything particular since the beginning of the test.

“Oh…”

Just as Izuku was about to throw his ball, Edam saw an enormous amount of power circulating in his arm before it went off…

Pretty much like a balloon deflating or a certain hard thing going limp… whatever…

His quirk was quickly canceled as he was reprimanded for not having any control over his Quirk and so, being more of a burden than a hero.

“Hmm? Is that a relative of yours?” Edam asked, noticing something weird about this guy.

“Uh… no.”

“…is that so…”

After reprimanding green hair, Aizawa left him alone to throw his softball as Midoriya returned to his throwing spots and thought in silence, seemingly questioning his life…

Despite that, a stubborn and resolute expression manifested and burned inside as he grabbed his softball and threw it.

However, in contrast to earlier the power didn’t gather in his arm at all, but in one of his fingers instead.

And yet…

Boom! Swoosh!

Who would have thought that such a finger could possibly gather enough power to shoot the softball like a missile…

Everyone was stunned by that, even Edam, but he was more surprised for another reason…

“Hmm that’s impossible… he can only be your son or something like that…!”

“My son? what?! Nonsense!”

“You both have the same freaking raw strength…!”

“Shhh!” All Might hush him down.
