More seriously. They are his family. They're also more than that, they're his "gang". They're also, just plain and simple, "his". Mikado gets possessive in canon, and Shark is no less possessive of Coral in his own special way. They're good people, they're kind and they welcomed him in, and they're beloved to him. That means he will do whatever necessary to protect them. If it comes to jacking other people's shit up? Whatever. If people mess with Coral, they deserve what's coming to them, Personae included.
This feeling is a bit complicated by his knowledge that he can't protect them. Or at least not well. He's new and noodley and has no skills or powers or strength, so Shark knows that when it comes to "protecting Coral" all he has going for him is his intellect. It's funny, but Mikado's a genius and doesn't realize it in canon, Shark's the same. Incredibly smart with no concept that he is above average (though I'm not sure I'm as smart as he's supposed to be so it's difficult). So Shark isn't that confident that his smarts are all that much of an asset to Coral.
Basically he's very dere for the team with very strong yan underlying it all.
