Ideas for Quirk training for the yakuza guys? Maybe throw in Gentle and La Brava?

I'll stick with the Yakuza since I have more then enough ideas for them. Plus, I really like the idea of this being part of the Hero Haul AU and this is Kai taking his gang on a retreat in order to "build team work"

Hojo, Tabe, and Toya: Hojo would be making his crystals while Toya would be trying to pull them off of his body. In between them, Tabe would be trying to eat the flying crystals before Toya can catch them. This would train Hojo's production speed and durability of his crystals, increase Toya's range and pulling power, and improve Tabe's ability to catch and eat moving targets.

Rikiya and Deidoro: This two have a special job. They are two go around to where any one else is training and start harassing them, with Deidoro making them lose balance and Rikyia draining their energy. This not only helps train everyone else by add extra difficulty, but could help improve their own powers as well, like increasing Rikiya's drain rate and Deidoro's range.

Tengai: Since Tengai already has enough defensive power and can use his shields reactively, he doesn't really need to train those parts. What he could do is try to get better and forming moving the shields. Things like trying to slowly inch it forward to a certain point or trying to form the shield around other objects as a way to trap them within the barrier, improving his ability to control and deny an area.

Joi: Considering the only known limit of his power is the size limit of his power, he could try and take over larger objects and make them move around. He could try to take over small parts of larger objects. It be like what he did in the hideout, but on a smaller scale. Barring that, he could simply try to get better at shaping and controlling the objects, like trying to solve a puzzle box while he is the box.

Hari: Since Hari can't really train his power on other people without ruining a whole afternoon of training, the best choice for him would be to simply practice on dummies. Namely ones that are constantly moving around. This could help increase the speed and accuracy of his arrows, making the condition easier to inflict, Heck, it could even help grow the Quirk to the point where it can start working on objects as well as people.

Shin: While I do like the idea of Shin going around and asking people uncomfortable questions all day, I think his time would be served better elsewhere. Since so much of his power is based around questions, it'd be good for him to try and figure out better ways to phrase his words. He could also try and learn psychological tactics to try and dig for what would be the best questions to ask someone and how to best exploit their secrets.

Rappa: While I figure Rappa's training would involve him punching stuff, that's not the route I'm going to take. His training would involve him using his hands for literally anything else. Look, I've said that Rappa has been wasting his power and this would be a good chance. Things like rapidly doing tasks with his hands or using them to practice throwing's things. I don't care if I have to duct tape tools to his hands, he's going to do something other then punch things.

Kai: Overhaul was easily the hardest to come up with anything for. How can you go up any further from one of the strongest Quirks in the series. The only thing I could think of was the fusion aspect of his power. For all of his power, Kai's fusions seems very incomplete. Less perfection combination and more heinous hybrid. So maybe he could try practicing on some non-living objects, like trying to turn a bunch of metals into an alloy by trying to piece them together or something like that.

Deception

My best friend is a fake bisexual, so fake he's not even bi. This is absolutely despicable.

@the-sycophant, What a lovely place this is! Is this your place? Did Malika sneak into-- uh visit-- the wrong place? Well, she enjoyed it regardless! Thanks to @kestrelvylbrand for helping with the extra details...

Tuesday August 14, 1962, a US Mail truck is driving from Cape Cod to Boston. Instead of carrying letters and packages, the truck is carrying money, picked up at banks on Cape Cod after a busy weekend and being transported to the Federal Reserve Bank in Boston. Instead of using a proper armoured car company, the banks opted to save a few bucks and send it in a mail truck. Someone with inside knowledge tipped off one of Boston’s crime kingpins, and planning for a heist began.

On route 3 near Plymouth Mass, the truck slowed down for what looked like a State Police roadblock. Unbeknownst to the postal workers the men in the State Police uniforms were robbers - unbeknownst until they pointed machine guns at them. Meanwhile, other members of the robbery gang were placing detour signs futher back, diverting any other traffic, and ensuring there were no witnesses to the robbery. The postal workers were tied up and blindfolded in the back of the truck and driven around for about 90 minutes, then the robbers unloaded the money bags and left. When the postal workers finally freed themselves, all the money - $1,551,277.00 - was gone. It was the largest cash robbery in USA history.

The case caused a sensation, the amount of money stolen would be over $15 million today. The case made headlines from coast to coast, even making the cover of Life magazine. The investigation was led by the US Postal Inspectors, and although there was lots of rumors there was little evidence.

Eventually suspects were identified, through underworld gossip, and although they were followed constantly, and their homes searched, no evidence could be found to prove they did it. Eventually, just before the 5 year statute of limitations was about expire, 4 men and 1 woman were indicted for the crime, with the rumor being that one of them agreed to turn State's evidence, but he disappeared before the trial, likely murdered, and without him the case fell apart and the other defendants were acquitted.

The money was never recovered.
