Hopeless Heroes AU
Hero Pack
Sanji/Stealth Black/King
Stealth Black has been out if commission fro the past two years (presumed dead by the public) as he was training with a former hero known as Crimson Leg.
He returns under the name "Prince", wearing a prototype of his new suit as Usopp isn't yet done calibrating the finished version to fit his needs.
People start to talk about how similar Stealth Black and this new hero are, causing Sanji to panic and claim that the members of Germa 66 are obviously older as they are taller (they wear heeled shoes to make people believe that they're taller).
Prior to Stealth Black's early retirement, he and Hunter had a fight regarding who deserves to be saved as the previous had been raised to think like perfect Germa soldier while the latter holds all life equally valuable.
Sanji must return to his previous role as Stealth Black momentarily as Germa 66 is threatening to reveal the secret identities of the heroes.
He accidentally reveals that Prince and Stealth Black are the same person to Hunter in the process.
Due to his new suit having a crown at its chest, the public starts to refer to him as King instead of Prince much to his embarrassment.
His entering code is 0302, which just so happens to be his birthday, March 2nd.
As Vinsmoke's questionable treatment on its servants and family members is revealed, Sanji is placed onto a safehouse known as Sunny, Hunter is tasked with guarding him.
Zoro/Hunter
Upon his friend Kuya dying from falling down the stairs, Zoro realised just how fragile humans are and thus he swore to become a hero who'd be able to help everyone.
His mentor is hero known as Hawkeye, who found him practicing sword fighting on his backyard. To this day the sword hero has no idea how Zoro got past his security system nor where his parents are, thus becoming his guardian.
He transferred into a university in France, which just so happens to be the same one Sanji attends to, accidentally becoming Mr Popular due to his exotic background, athletic nature and street smarts.
As he meets Prince, he can't help but to think of Stealth Black and wish him to return. He even talks about how he misses the guy to Prince, who's literally trying to keep the fact that he's Stealth Black a secret.
He's angry at himself for not being able to accompany Stealth Black on his mission because of his cover nearly being blown. He has to make up a good diversion while another hero makes an appearance as Hunter at the same time (it's Bartolomeo, who has learned most of his signature moves).
When Sanji is moved into the safe house, Hunter accompanies him the whole time, learning that not all Vinsmokes are entitled bastards.
Hunter's ability is to cut anything and nothing if he so desires, he also can create several wind styled attacks with them along with something that is called an Asura. The latter is still an incomplete technique.
Perona has accidentally called Hunter her older brother in presence of Nami, which led to both him and her quickly make up a lie about him being Zoro's older half brother of whose existence the greenette has no idea of existing.
Zoro keeps a journal about these lies to ensure that he doesn't accidentally contradict himself.
Ace/Fire Fist
Son of a former (now deceased) heroes, Roger and Rogue, the previous having been a powerful fire ability carrying hero.
He became active as a young teen upon loosing his cool.
He was used as a test subject of project REVIVE which was supposed to be used to research the abilities of the heroes who'd died in hopes of producing one day a new generation of heroes with matching abilities along with a series of pills that were supposed to be used to suppress hard to control abilities, help with mastering them and to switch into another one if the holder' s body wasn't capable of withstanding the original one.
This project was over seen by Steel Fist Garp, who was mortified to learn about the science ward of the time (provided by the United Countries and the Royal family of Vinsmokes) using children as test subjects. He broke all of the test subjects out, providing them with happy families. The test subjects who survived were Ace, Sabo and Chopper.
Sabo/Chief
The wide assumption is that he is Ace's twin brother who just so happens to take after Rouge.
He found out about his ability to control fire during a mission where both Ace and Luffy were hurt very badly.
As Sabo was used in the project REVIVE, his hair changed colour from its previous golden yellow into the same strawberry blonde as Rogue's had been.
Although he was released from the facility by Garp, he wasn't done with being a test subject as his power hungry family continued tests in secret until Dragon (a hero during that time) broke him out at the request of Doctor Kureha.
Luffy/Rubber Man
Originally a water-air powered individual, but as he ate one of the prototype pillers, his DNA was warped turning him into a rubber man.
Though Garp was offered the ability to turn him back into what he'd originally been, the retired hero claimed that it was a good thing to have his ability change as now he couldn't be connected to Dragon nor his wife.
Luffy's mother was a former villain with water based ability. Dragon broke off of the hero union in favour of becoming a vigilante.
Shanks/Red
One of the rare heroes without super powers.
Lost his arm while trying to keep Luffy safe while visiting one of the factories that produced the hero suits and gadgets; he quite literally stick his arm between two gears to keep the kid from getting hurt and had to have it amputated as a result.
To the public, he's an intriguing mystery.
Those who don't work with him, see him as laid back and carefree guy, but when you see him step on the field, you'll immediately know that shit just got real.
He's one of Roger's former pupils.
Red works behind the scene, pulling the strings and covering for the younger heroes.
His family is so well hidden that even if you'd know who he really was, you could only trace him back to the heroes. The closest you'd get to a family would be Luffy, but do you really want to risk having Steel Fist, Dragon, Portgas Twins AND the Surgeon of Death attack you on sight?
As the head of the intelligence, nothing gets past him, if something feels amiss, he'll have it checked.
While his identity isn't a secret, somehow people still fail to believe that he's one of the strongest current generation heroes.
Mihawk/Hawkeye
One of the strongest heroes current generation has to offer, the guardian and mentor of Hunter.
Sword hero, whose abilities have been honed to the level where no matter what he yields, he can cut with it.
He has once used an actual banana in place of a blade during an emergency with rather fruitful results.
Prefers to work solo, but has made an exception for his ward.
Came to adopt both Zoro and Perona upon finding them from his backyard with no explanation for how they got there and who are their parents.
Celebrates the duo's birthdays on the days he found them.
Seems to live only with protein shakes, smoothies and fruities due to being literally too busy with being the only hero with common sense around here.
This has led to an ongoing joke about him being a fruit bat styled vampire.
His habit of sleeping in a coffin (it came with the house and he sure as hell won't be spending anymore time with people than the bare minimum) isn't helping with the vampire image.
He used to work in a team with Buggy and Shanks, there was even slight rivalry between them where they kept score on saved civilians and beaten villains. This came to an end upon Shanks' loss of an arm.
Buggy/Clown
Came from a poor family which led him to retorting to crime as a means of survival.
Was taken in by Roger, who helped him to break out of the villain circle and inspired him to become a hero.
His former ability was so destructive that he asked to be given the still work in progress medicine, but it made him sick and mentally unstable for a long time.
He used to be in the same hero team as Hawkeye and Red before starting to work solo and eventually taking an apprentice himself.
He grew up in a circus where his parental figures were thieving clowns (literal clowns), as a sign of respect and to not forget this past, he incorporated certain elements from that into his hero suit.
He's seen as the grumpy uncle by the young heroes.
His literal vibe is: *high beeper goes off signalling that there's a fight nearby* Buggy: *loud tired groan*
Jinbe
Water powered hero, who's also partially a shark.
Specialises in ocean missions.
He's in charge of public relations thanks to his calm personality and rationality.
Feels responsible for the fact that he didn't recognise Arlong's villainous tendencies fast enough.
The martial arts instructor for the new heroes who usually haven't yet found their own style or have no idea how to protect themselves.
Jinbe is literally his hero name, not a single person knows what his actual name is.
Coby
A new hero, whose mentor is Steel Fist Garp.
He's highly durable and happens to have similar affiliates as Garp, hence he was the perfect protégé for him.
He's supposed to become the fourth member of the ASL and balance their often dangerous antics. He's already proceeded to befriend the youngest member of the team, Luffy, while Sabo and Ace are still uncertain of what to make of him.
Currently, he has no hero name of his own as he is following the tradition of allowing the public name him. However, if Shanks' prediction is accurate, he'll end up with a name similar to both Garp and Ace.
Germa 66
Six member group which prides itself in high level technology and super powers.
Is made up from the Royal family of Vinsmokes.
Judge, the leader, is a hyper intelligent man with naturally high durability and strength.
Reiju was genetically altered to be capable of manipulating toxins.
Ichiji was altered to be able to control fire.
Niji's genetic manipulation led to his ability to cut electricity.
Sanji is the only one without any alterations thanks to his mother's ability to destroy unnatural elements, though it was only for one child. He's naturally durable and has high intelligence, which sadly isn't seen as a super power by his father.
Yonji's strength was amplified to ridiculous levels.
All of the Vinsmokes are naturally blonde, but their raidsuits create a coating that protects their heads, which happens to make them appear to have different hair colours.
Sora, former hero before passing away, was a support styled hero, who could nullify toxic combinations and technology.
To protect the team from being affected too much by the "lower level heroes", they have been banned from being paired with heroes who do not "match their level". Sanji, who was seen as the unnecessary part of the team was the only one who was allowed to meddle with other heroes and even then he had to write extra reports about his team mates and the mission.
Germa 66 is known to be very picky about those who are saved, preferring to keep only "important people" such as politicians safe.
Their methods are often questionable and the rest of the heroes judge both their views and the said methods.
