"Zippity Doo Dah! Zippity Yay! Tapping my day away!" Izuku sang haphazardly as he sat atop of a shambled roof. A hammer in hand as he tapped at the nails into the tiles. "Zippity Doo Dah! Zippity Yay! My brain is gonna melt away!" A small bead of sweat dropped down his brow.

"I'm not paying you to sing up there!" A mature sounding woman voiced as she stared at the boy on her roof.

"You're not paying him at all, Shyarly!" Camie chimed in as she floated by on a bubble. "If anything I'm paying him. He's living on my couch you know."

"And I'm giving him food. Your point?" Shyarly huffed as she took a long slow breath into her pipe.

"And I appreciate both of you!" Izuku yelled down at them as he placed another set of tiles down. "Also, when is lunch anyway?!"

"When it gets here, boy! Don't make me slap you with my tail again!"

"Y-Yes Ma'am!" He panicked as he frantically went back on task. Sparing a small glance over to the large shark woman, whose tail slammed the ground in aggravation.

"Do you have to scare him?" Camie asked with a sigh. "You know he didn't choose to land on your house. He looked like he took on an exploding battleship for craps sake!"

"I'll apologize later. I haven't been sleeping too well, okay."

"Where have you been staying anyhow? Last I heard you had to get your house custom built because of your size."

"In the storage shed. And yes, it is very cramped in there." She answered with an annoyed scowl, tapping the ashes out of her pipe.

"But seriously, did you really need to smack him around?"

"To be fair, I am trying to be a bit nicer to him." Shyarly chuckled awkwardly as she cleaned her pipe. "In hindsight, perhaps our first meeting could have gone a bit better."

~Flashback Time!~

"Now remember when you meet Shyarly DO NOT make her angry." Camie instructed as she and Izuku floated to the surface in a bubble from her under sea apartment.

"I really don't know how I could piss her off anymore than I have already." He sighed, seeing as it has only been three days since he crash landed on the woman's house.

"I mean, true. Just don't make her MORE mad at you."

Soon the two had reached the surface, the bubble popping almost immediately once it got out of the water. Izuku wincing slightly at the feeling of saltwater on his healing wounds as he quickly jumped out. Shaking off all the excess and stretching out a bit, seeing as he's been cooped up for a while.

"Well hello there cutie~" A flirtatious voice found its way to his ears. Shuddering slightly as he turned around slowly. Being face to face with more mermaids, all of whom were dressed only in tight fitting and revealing bikini tops.

"MMMMMMMMM!!!!!!" He let out a strangled cry as he attempted to hide his embarrassment. It did not work.

"Awe~ He's so cute when he's embarrassed!~"

"Is this your new boyfriend, Camie? Who knew you could pick 'em?"

"He's so muscley!"

They cheered in a cheery mood, much to the boy's further embarrassment. Shrinking in place as he tried to avoid eye contact with any of the approaching half naked females. Definitely not giving into his young hormonal urges taunting him into gazing at their voluptuous mounds. He was definitely failing in that regard.

"Alright girls! That's enough!" Camie yelled out, grabbing hold of Izuku and holding him close to her chest. Making said boy exhaust steam from his very ears to the point he sounded like a little tea kettle.

"Wait a minute, isn't he the one that landed on Shyarly's house?"

"Seriously?! He is so dead!"

"It's such a shame too! He's so adorable!"

"You will be missed!"

"Ignore them Izuku, you'll be fine." Camie said she started dragging him away, only to feel him go limp. "Izuku? Izuku?!" She panicked seeing the boy go nuclear red and passed out from the shock.

"Wake up!" A sudden voice made itself known. A violent swing of a mermaid's tail landing on the boy, sending him away into a wall of coral.

"That was uncalled for, Shyarly!" Camie complained, but soon shrank when she saw her friend's annoyed scowl.

"Ow." Izuku groaned as he carefully picked himself up. Being face to face with the angry mako shark mermaid.

"So you're the little bastard that destroyed my house." She growled as she smacked the ground with her tail, cracking the stone beneath her.

"I-I'm s-sorry!" He squeaked as he slowly tried backing away.

"Don't you try running away from me! I will hunt you down and pin you to the ground!" She yelled, making him freeze up like a statue. "So here's how it's gonna go, you fix my house and you get to live. Sounds fair?"

"Y-yes M-ma'm!!!" He scrambled an answer. Staring up like a poor animal facing its greatest predator.

"Good." She gave a small smile as she proceeded to throw a bag at Izuku's head. "Here are your tools, and the materials are all over there. So hop to it boy!" She ordered.

~End of Flashback~

"I'd say you've actually warmed up to him quite well in the last few days." Camie smirked a teasing grin.

"Perhaps I have. I mean, he's definitely different compared to the rest of the fishmen around here." Shyarly took a huff of her freshly lit pipe. "Though, that may be because he isn't from here. Not even from the same ocean."

"He sure traveled a long way from Japan to wind up here."

"Alright!" Izuku yelled as he slid down the ladder to the ground. Smiling excitedly as he joined the two women. "Roof is done and from here on out you'll need a professional for the rest! But it should be safe enough for you to move back in now!"

"Awe~ Already? I was hoping you'd take a bit longer!" One of the mermaids whined as few of the cafe girls made themselves known.

"Yeah~ I want to watch you hard at work for at least another month!~" Another said in a flirty tone.

"Didn't I tell you girls to save that attitude for work?" Shyarly stared at the girls with an indifferent look.

"Boo! You're no fun!"

"Yeah! He needs to stay longer!"

"It's not like he's leaving yet." Camie pouted a bit shyly. "I mean, he doesn't really have anywhere else to go. Not to mention I promised to show him around once he was done with the house."

"So bold of you Camie!~"

"Yeah! Claiming this hunk of a fishman all to yourself should be illegal!~"

"I am right here you know!" Izuku cried out as he desperately tried hiding himself again. You would think after being around such flirts for so long he'd have gotten used to it. You'd be wrong.

"Besides, don't you have business to deal with?"

"Are you just trying to get rid of me, Shyarly? I get that you don't like me much but do you have to stare at me all day?! I am not a handyman! I got that house done the best I could!" He complained with a small pout, that for some reason still seemed cute despite his macho shark man appearance.

'Shyarly has been checking him out.'

'She's definitely into him.'

'She wants little shark pups.'

Many of the Mermaid Cafe girls began thinking such things as they stared at their boss. Who was nonchalantly still staring at the young man's shirtlessness.

"Hey everyone!" A childish voice called out the folks to cut them free from their thoughts. Swimming towards them were a quintuplet of young mermaid children who were carrying a bunch of bags together.

"We brought lunch."

"It's lunch time!"

"It isn't lunch time."

"It might be lunch time."

"Who cares if it's lunch time?"

The five sisters, in the order of Ichika, Nika, Sanka, Yonka, Yonka Two, spoke in their normal way. Also, it should stand that no one really questions why there are two Yonkas. No one quite knows why and they're parents are nowhere to be found so no one can ask them.

"Hello little ones. Thank you for being such big helpers." Izuku smiled as he gave each one a head pat. "Did anything special happen on your adventure?"

"Pappag gave us lots of Sea King meat." Ichka smiled happily at her older brother-figure. Or was he more of a father figure? I don't know.

"Lots of meat!" Nika agreed with an equally cheerful mood.

"He didn't give us much meat." Sanka said in a bit lower mood.

"He might have given us some meat." Yonka speculated with slight confusion.

"Who cares if he gave us some meat?" Yonka Two asked, not sure how it even mattered.

"That was really nice of him. Did you five remember to thank him?" Izuku asked, getting a plethora of nods in agreement.

'So cute!'

'He's so good with kids!'

'He'd be a wonderful husband.'

Well these mermaid girls were definitely thirsty. Hopefully that doesn't get in the way of them having a nice lunch.

*BOOM* *CRASH* *OTHER NOISE*

It is at this point that the narrator should remind himself to keep mouth shut during the heartwarming scenes. Now if you excuse me, the author has a rolling pin and is about to attack me for breaking the fourth wall. You'll never catch me alive!!!

"Get back here!!!!"

*Cut!!* *Take Two!*

"Pirates!"

"Pirates are invading again!!!"

"This is the third time this month!"

"My cabbages!"

Izuku heard the cries of panic filled citizens, and the hero's heart would not stand for it. So he got up and began walking towards the direction. All the while stretching out his muscles to get ready for the tussle awaiting him. Sighing heavily as he cracked his knuckles.

"You all eat up. I'll take care of this." He spoke firmly as leapt away towards the battle.

"He's cool."

"He's very cool!"

"He's not that cool."

"He might be cool."

"Who cares if he's cool?"

'Izuku Midoriya....' Shyarly mentally spoke as she stared off into the direction he went. 'I hate to see you leave, but I love watching you go!'

Oh, dear. She is down bad for our boy here. Seriously! What were they doing during that time he was fixing her house! Well hopefully Arlong won't mind a few nieces and nephews in the future. You know what fuck that guy!

Izuku dashed away as quick as a flash, passing by the panicking citizens fleeing the cove. Within a few seconds, Izuku had made it to the scene. Being met by the site of a group of pirates led by a burly fat man that stood over three meters tall. Scowling as he dragged hostages in chains around him.

"Captain! We have lots of mermaids!"

"Good. They'll give us plenty of loot." He scowled with a huff as he walked away.

He felt his blood boiling at their words but calmed his rage just enough to not do anything rash. Taking a quick breath as he stepped towards the distracted buffoons. Whistling a tune that made the men shiver the moment it reached their ears.

"N-no! It can't be him!"

"How is he here!? He shouldn't be in the Grand Line!"

"It's just a trick! Keep getting those damn fish!" The captain urged them on angrily.

"Sea Dragon Fangs...." His voice coming off as a bare whisper sent a chill down their spines. "Crashing Tides!"

Weaving between the pirates in a flash of raging red and stopping once he was across the field. They barely had a moment to process the events as the ground beneath crumbled. One by one, the men fell to their knees with the sickening cracks of the bones. Chains shattered in an instant, allowing the captives to run away.

"You know..." Izuku sighed with his hands in his pockets as he turned to face the scowling captain. "I was having a really good day. Had a good night's sleep, had a good BM, and not a single trace of bad news in sight. And then you bastards came, ruined my mood, interrupted my lunch with my friends and now think that you can run away. I don't think so."

"You bastard!" The captain yelled as he swung his large fist at Izuku.

"Sea Dragon Fangs...Flowing Water!" He yelled as his fists reached the captain. Repeatedly hitting him before Izuku grabbed his by the face and threw him into the stone walls.

"Well that was fun. Now to get back and relax."

"Halt!" He heard someone yell, turning back and he was met by the sight of the royal guards.

"Are you freaking kidding me?! Again?!"
