224 Justice

"Oh? You know me?"

All-For-One was surprised when Mineta recognized him since it had been so long since he appeared in the world. The government also erased his identity since this country had a habit of erasing all the bad history of their country, so their country would appear clean and perfect.

"No, I am just guessing, but I didn't expect it would be you."

Mineta showed a surprised expression.

"Then, who told you about me?" All-For-One asked with interest.

"It's All-Might. He told me you were the evilest person in this world."

"Hahaha... he really has never changed, huh?" All-For-One laughed, and this laugh was quite similar to Mineta, which made everyone shudder. "So, what do you think of me? Do you think I am evil as he told you?"

"Yes."

"Can you tell me the reason, then? We don't mistreat you, and we even let you speak without limiting your action, so you think I am evil?"

"Yes." Mineta nodded and said, "However, it is amazing that you can say all of that when you have kidnapped me, or are you so old that you have started to get senile, eh, grandpa? Maybe, you should stop becoming a villain and should retire now. I also happen to know a good retirement place like Tartarus. It will be a perfect place for you."

"Haha... I am still healthy and living well. So it's not time for me to retire yet, eh, Mineta Minoru-kun."

"So, what do you want? Do you want to recruit me like the others?"

"I am not. I just want to talk with you."

"We have talked, haven't we?'

"That's true, but I want to talk with you more."

"About?"

"About, what do you want to do?"

"Me?"

"Yes, do you have a dream? Or do you have something that you want to achieve in your life? Let me hear it. Maybe I can help you."

His words were like a creepy witch who told snow white to eat a poisonous apple.

"Oh, I have a dream, but you might not be able to realize it."

"You won't know if you don't try it, right? Let me hear it first. What do you want?"

"Well, if you beg me like that, then it can't be helped." Mineta didn't answer immediately and took a deep breath.

Everyone was also quiet and wondered what he wanted to achieve in this life.

"I want to become a prime minister."

"....." Everyone.

Everyone was quiet, and they wanted to scold him for playing or talking big, yet when they were about to say something, they couldn't since they felt that this guy was really able to do it.

Oh, this guy might really become a prime minister!

When they realized this, they were dumbfounded.

"Prime minister? That's a good dream. I believe you can become the number one person in the country."

"Thank you."

"But it seems that we're similar to each other."

"Excuse me?"

"Do you know what my dream is?"

"...I don't know."

"Well, let me tell you. In my youth before, I dreamed of becoming a demon king."

"...demon king?"

"Yes, isn't it fun? To do whatever I want without being shackled by laws or anything. Everything I do is forgiven. Dominating this world and becoming the number one person in this world." All-For-One smiled and said, "See? We're totally similar to each other. You want to become the number one person in the country, and I want to become the number one person in the world. We're the same, right?"

All-For-One was so happy at this moment since he knew that he and Mineta were the same type of people.

"So, how about I realize your dream? If I become a demon king, will I make you the prime minister of this country? Or if you want to become a president, is it even okay, you know? What country do you want to govern? The United States? China? The EU? The Middle East? Anything you want! You can name it!"

All-For-One didn't hold back and told him he could give him any countries he wanted to govern. As for whether it was true or not, it was a matter of the future since he hadn't even conquered this country.

"It's a tempting offer."

"Right?

"However, I refuse."

"......"

"...why? Can you tell me the reason?"

"It's because we're different."

"Oh?" All-For-One was surprised by his answer, so he asked, "Can you tell me the difference between us?" He didn't seem angry. Instead, he asked him with interest.

"Isn't it simple? It's because you're evil, and..."

Mineta's eyes were firm as if he genuinely believed so, and he said, "I am the justice."

"...."

Everyone was in a daze once again.

Justice?

Was this guy?

If this guy was justice, then the world was messed up!

However, they couldn't deny his words since Mineta's words were correct.

In the eyes of the public, Mineta was the justice.

In the eyes of the majority, Mineta was justice.

No matter how evil, selfish, and many other things he was right now, as long as the majority of people believed that he was the justice, then he was!

Knowing all of this, they realized how boring and messed up this world was.

However, All-For-One laughed. His laugh was even harder than before and was quite creepy for some reason, but for some reason, many could tell that he was delighted.

"Hahaha... sorry, sorry. You're right. I am evil, and you're the justice. This is the difference between us."

"Thank you for your understanding."

"But Mineta-kun, did you forget something?"

"Forget?"

"Yes, since we're evil, we can do anything we want."

Somehow, everyone could imagine that All-For-One was smiling at this moment.

"Tomura-kun, kill him."

"..." Everyone.

Shigaraki was surprised, but he nodded. "Yes, Sensei." He walked toward Mineta and raised his hand, ready to use his rot on Mineta.

"Yes, we're evil, so if we can't make you submit to us, we will kill you, Mineta-kun."

"You're so straightforward."

"That's right, and this is why being evil is nice. You don't need to hide anything, and you don't need to lie. Everything is clear and pure, and when we see an obstacle in front of us, we won't hesitate to kill instead of using a fake appearance to gain the empathy of a lot of people."

Then, suddenly, All-For-One sighed and said, "To be honest, I like you, Mineta-kun."

"Really? Unfortunately, I hate you."

"It is okay. You can hate me as much as you want since we can meet each other later on in hell. But, as of now, I see you as the biggest threat to Tomura-kun and everyone here. So sorry, you have to disappear here, Mineta-kun."

As All-For-One apologized and Shigaraki was about to use his rot, the door was knocked on.

*Bang! Bang!*

"It's a pizza delivery."

"....."

When they were in silence, the door was knocked on again. This time, they became cautious, but before they reacted, the door was smashed.

All-Might suddenly entered from the side wall, surprising everyone.

Yet, at this moment, All-For-One, who saw the monitor, could see Mineta smiling at this moment. Mineta might not say anything, but from this smile, he could tell that Mineta told him who was the winner among them. When he saw this, he let out a long sigh, thinking that this young man was really suitable to become his inheritor.

"Well, if you like to play hard, then I will also play hard too."
