Secret Weapon (Eustass Kid x Reader : Modern AU)

17. The Mayor

Ace's phone rings, and he picks it up as you clean up the crime scene area with which you had contact.

"Yeah, what is it, Deuce?" He answers. "What? How many?... Fine... Yes..."
He hangs up. "We've got incoming company."

"They must have been on their way to pick up Miss Devon. Looks like we're going to have to get out of here." You say finishing up.

"Leave? Why? Once they find this old bitch dead here, Doflamingo's going to come at us full force. Let's thin out his ranks right now." Kid suggests. "Who's coming?"

"Apparently, Pica, Gladius and Machvise." Ace says. "I'm sure we can handle them between the two of us, but will she be okay? She's injured." He looks pointedly at you.

"Both of you need to be reasonable. We need to get out of here as quickly as possible." You say. "Miss Devon killed two cops, it's likely that the police will be here soon too." You don't tell them that you sent Tashigi a text with a tip of where Miss Devon was. You are sure that they will be arriving quickly too.

"That's a problem." Ace says. "I'm an ex-con, if they find me at a murder scene... they'll latch onto it. And my grandfather sure as hell won't protect me. I know you have someone in the justice department who will cover for you Eustass."

Kid straightens up. "Not anymore. She and I servered our ties a while ago. I can't afford a run in with the cops either."

You smile, "Good. That means we are running, right?"

Ace makes a call to the lookout. "Are the cops coming?...Alright, take the car and go before they spot you.....We'll meet back at home....Don't worry about us." He ends the call. "Alright, let's get going."

You are already sitting in the driver's seat and Kid sits on the passenger seat, and Ace at the back. You start the car and drive through the forest road. As you approach the main road, you run into two cars just about to enter the forest.

"Shit! They saw us." Kid says as you enter the main road, and someone starts shooting at your car. "Step on it, Wheels!"

You do as you are told and hit the accelerator hard as the car moves forward. The roof from one of the cars following you is let down and an extremely muscular, tall and intimidating man wearing golden armour on his body pops up from it. He starts swinging his giant sword at your car. You swerve out of the way and he instead throws the sword towards you.

Kid and Ace both instinctively bend down their heads covering their faces as the sword hits the windows on their side of the car. It breaks both windows and glass starts flying into the car and the sword falls down onto the road. Seeing as the windows are open now, Ace and Kid start shooting at your pursuers and manage to hit the wheel of Pica's car.

As you drive away, someone from the second car following you jumps on top your car while his companion continues shooting at you. He must be heavy because he jumps up and down causing a dent in the roof of your car. In the distance, you hear police sirens and decide to take a risk.

"Guys, put on your seat belts and hold on tightly to the car." You say.

Ace throws a lit dynamite at Gladius' car, causing him to jump out of the moving car before it blows up.

"What are you planning?" Kid asks.

You grin. "To shake him off." You rev the car up and, driving at 293km/hr and for a brief moment, you wonder if the wheels of this car can take it, but you honestly, don't have a choice. You turn the steering wheel completely and turn the car recklessly doing a high speed 360 degree turn. Machvise falls hard from the car onto the road. Then you continue on straight along the road like nothing happened.
