     I watched with the rest of the League as Twice opened the door to the building we were in. I was sitting on a ledge at the same level as Compress, but on the opposite side of Shigaraki. We waited in silence for the doors to close as the two walked in. 

     "You brought a crazy big fish, huh, Twice?" Shigaraki asked.

     I observed the man, taking in his appearance. He was wearing a dark green coat with a purple, fluffy hood, black pants, white gloves, and a weird red and gold mask that looked similar to a plague doctor's beak thing. 

     "...League of Villains," He said, looking up at us properly. 

     "What? Is that guy someone famous?" Magne quietly asked Shigaraki. 

     "Master showed me a picture of him before. He's what you'd call 'yakuza.' The young head of the Shie Hassaikai," Shigaraki answered. 

     "The young head of the Shie Hassaikai..." Magne repeated. "So he's the number two of organized crime? Oh my, I've never seen anything like him! He smells dangerous!"

     "Organized crime?" Toga asked, looking up at Compress. "How's he different from us?"

     "All right, let me tell you. In the past, there were lots of scary groups that ran the underworld. But, after heroes started thriving, they were unmasked and disbanded, and once All Might appeared on the scene, that era was over. The survivors who hadn't been caught became designated villain groups...," Compress began. 

     "In other words, they were treated like villain reserves just scraping by to make a living under the watch of the police. Frankly, they're obsolete and should be a protected species," Compress finished his explanation. 

     "Okay, so why's this impecunious yakuza guy here?" I asked. 

     "The emperor of darkness who ruled over all of the underside of society. My generation treated him like an urban legend, but our elders believed they had reason to fear him. Even after he was rumored to be dead," He answered. "But this time, he showed up in the flesh... All Might retired, and All for One was thrown into Tartarus. In other words, right now, for both those in the sun and those in the shadows, there is no leader. So then, who will be the next leader?" His tone and words seemed to catch Shigaraki's attention. 

     "If you know who my master is, and you're still saying that... Are you here to challenge me? I'm the next leader. Even now, I'm gathering my troops. Our numbers will increase soon. And with that power, I'll crush hero society starting with its head," Shigaraki said, slowly walking towards our 'guest'. 

     "Do you have a plan?" The leader of the Shei Hissaikai asked. 

     "A plan? You little... You came to join us, didn't you?" As Shigaraki was talking, I spotted Twice looking between the two 'leaders' as if he was conflicted. 

     "A goal with no plan is called a delusion. If you present me with a delusion, then how am I supposed to react? What are you going to do after you increase your forces? What kind of organizational chart are you trying to create?" The dude began. 

     "Starting with Hero Killer: Stain, there was also Muscular and Moonfish. They were all first-class game pieces, but you lost them right away, didn't you? Did you not understand how to use them? You can't even manage ten or so crazy people, and you're talking about increasing your forces? What'll you do after gathering power that you can't control? You need a plan in order to achieve your goal. And I have a plan," He had raised a fist, barely holding it with his other hand. "I didn't come here today because I wanted to join you."
