Secret Weapon (Eustass Kid x Reader : Modern AU)

You walk into your washed up apartment. It is a dilapidated flat that even you are ashamed to call home. It's not like you don't have an actual home to go back to, but staying there alone after years of living with uncle Smoker...the thought of it just makes you sad.

You sigh as you throw yourself down on your bed and you can feel the springs hurting your back. You think back to Bonney's offer, she not only offered you the job but a place to stay as well. Still, how disappointed would your uncle have been if you worked for a known criminal? When you think of it that way, it doesn't matter how much you get paid, you want to keep your promise to him. Still, you need the money to fix your car, so you suppose it is time to look for a new job.

But there's also the issue that Bonney was spying on Giolla and she killed her, which means that she definitely has something to do with the Doflamingo Family. You are admittedly curious to know what's going on, you want to assist in sending that bastard to prison.

Tashigi comes over to your flat the following day. She seems nervous as she looks at you and you know something is up.

"The Deputy Chief wants to talk to you." She says. "He's in the car outside."

"It took Bonnie to get me out of jail, he was not going to get me out of that fucking prison. I cannot believe he actually wants to talk to me!" You storm out angrily and you spot the car with blackened windows. You walk up to it, and open the door. Akainu is sitting comfortably in the back.

"What do you want? You purposely left me to rot in prison." You say furiously.

"If I had gotten you out, we wouldn't have the opportunity that we have now." He tells you.

"What opportunity? What are you talking about?" You ask.

He looks at you, "The opportunity to infiltrate the Kid Alliance. What they did to Giolla must mean that they are going after Doflamingo, which probably means they may have people on the inside and they may have been privy to information that we don't have." He says curtly. "Now Bonney got you out of prison so that must mean she's quite fond of you, right?"

"Maybe." You don't want to give him any information.

"Well, you could ask her for help. I mean you could tell her you're struggling to find work." He looks up at your place. "If anyone looks at the place that you're living in now, no one would doubt that. Even the criminals would be moved."

"You want me to infiltrate the Kid Alliance? Isn't that like, super dangerous?" You ask him.

"I will pull you out immediately if you get caught, but the fact of the matter is they are our biggest lead so we need someone on the inside." He says. You don't know if you can believe him. "If you can get something on Eustass Kid that would be good too. The weapons that he makes are a pain in the ass. "

You decide to tell him the truth, "Bonnie offered me a job." You say.

"What kind of a job?" He asks in interest.

"Just know it is a job working for the Kid Alliance. I wasn't sure if I'd take it but if it helps catch uncle Smoker's killer then I'll gladly do it." You say. You don't tell him that you're itching to get back behind the wheel.

"Very well, you have to make your report every single week no matter what happens." He hands you a box. "Detective Tashigi will show you how everything works." He says.

"Alright, fine." You take it.

"No one knows about this except for you, me and her. So, you should be safe." He promises.

"What about Vergo? Isn't he heading up the case?" You ask.

"The less people that know, the better. Now Tashigi will be your handler. I think she's the best solution seeing as the two of you are friends, so it wouldn't be too strange for you to be seen with her."
