(POV Sanji)
Weewooo weeeewooooo weeeewooooo.
Right now I could feel my heart beating at a thousand miles per hour.
There was a incredibly soft sensation pressed tightly against my back. The two of us were having a nice little drive on the highway on a motorcycle going at 200 miles per hour.
If it weren't for the loud sirens in the background this might be a wonderful scene between husband and wife.
If it wasn't for my wife screaming, "you'll never catch us alive coppers" from behind me I might have been able to enjoy this feeling a lot more.
If those cop cars that have us surrounded weren't there, maybe I'd be very blissful right now.
I assume you might be wondering how I got myself in this situation, well we will need to go back in time a bit to understand what really happened. I, at that time, definitely never would have thought this would be what our date would lead to.
All that could be said was, our date definitely turned out to be a date to remember.
…
Everything started with that bank robbery.
While I was standing there completely dumbfounded watching everything play out, the men were forcing the tellers to put a bunch of money in grocery bags.
I couldn't help thinking to myself at the time, you guys have interspatial storage items, don't you? You are mighty cultivators, right? Then why is it in my eyes you look like beggars right now?
You, especially you are too pitiful with your crippled bloody finger. That is supposed to be a finger right?
"Is this all you have? Do you think I'm an idiot, AH? I said put all the cash in the bags!"
"Uhm… sir, I think she put as much as the bags can hold. Those bags will tear from below if they get to heavy."
Oops I retorted without thinking.
It was then all five men turned their gazes towards me.
I was troubled by those cold indifferent gazes, but I was definitely not intimidated. After all, my wife was right by my side.
When I turned to my side to look at my wife… she was naturally standing right beside me with her beautiful charming smile on her face. Is what I would like to say. She was gone! What?! Little wife, please stop playing games with my heart!
I looked back towards the five and noticed behind them, on the other side of the glass window to the bank, my little wife had a bag of popcorn out eating like she was about to watch a good movie play out.
Little wife! Sure robberies definitely happen in movies, but this is real life! I want to watch too! I don't want to play a role this time!
Can you not force me into the role of the main protagonist?
Wait, maybe I can still be a side character.
When I looked at the man with the bloody finger I decided to put my posing to the test. I winked at him and nodded seriously like I was actually one of them.
Yes, I'm just a disguised robber in the crowd. That is my role. Please catch on.
The robber's eyes brightened and he nodded back towards me before resuming what he was doing.
It looks like I managed to deceive them this time. Aren't you guys too easy?
Little wife! Stop laughing over there! It's not a comedy! This is serious shit, robbing banks is hard work you know.
You can stop holding your stomach like you can't breathe, you're exaggerating way too much! Are those tears? You're crying? Really? Did I miss something funny here?
Anyways I just plopped myself down on the ground in seiza like a good little boy and hid behind some of the bigger men to not stand out. I don't like fighting after all, I am a pacifist. A distanced master secluded from the world who does not easily get involved in fights.
However, if push comes to shove, I'll fight you to the death.
Once the men had filled up twelve grocery bags with money one of the minions said, "boss, we've probably got enough, we should get going before the fuzz show up."
"We will split up and reunite at the designated meeting place. That fellow over there looks to be one of that cops acquaintances. We can probably pass their share to them through him instead of going to that place called the police station."
"We'll split the cash six ways and get out as fast as we can. We still don't know what the limits of these terrifying mortals are."
"We shouldn't underestimate this pocket realm, they have those terrifying things called guns. At all costs, you must not confront those projectiles they shoot out. You can see what happened to my finger, right? That tiny little projectile can do this level of damage to us. Every single one of those people called cops had one of those devices."
"If all of them can shoot those things out rapidly, we would be deader than dead within a few seconds."
"In this world, never assume you are the hunter, as you may very well be the hunted."
Wow it seems that guy with the bloody finger couldn't even stand up to a handgun. That's a bit disappointing to find out. I was thinking when I got back to this realm I'd be an immortal god at my present level. Thank god I didn't get cocky.
It was then that the person with the bloody finger, the boss, came over to me with two grocery bags bulging to the limit and filled with money.
"This is the agreed upon share, there should be enough in there to bail that idiot… I mean that person, Ten Jo, you took away to prison."
Holy crap a crown prince of an empire was sent to prison?! What the hell happened in the short time you guys have been here?
Also what the hell? All I did was wink and nod at you. What made you think I was an accomplice to a corrupt cop? Isn't this actually a big scoop?
I can see the headlines now, corruption in the local police force tasked to protect the public. I could actually make a lot of money just off of selling that scoop, can't I?
Wait, why are you walking away and leaving this money with me like this?! I don't want it! Are you kidding me?! This is being recorded you idiot! There are cameras all over the place. That was when the alarms finally went off.
A loud ringing noise broke out and startled the robbers. When they heard it, they may not have known exactly what it was, but they still instinctively burst out of the building and dashed off in five different directions at full speed.
Holy crap, aren't I screwed? But I have my wife after all. I should be safe, right?
I casually walked outside the bank with the two grocery bags in hand. You may ask why I didn't just leave the bags behind, right? Well I really wanted to get a good form of transportation for our date. Since the money was already in my hands, I might as well just use it. I'm already recorded on camera as being an accomplice, what else can I really do? Wipe the footage you may ask. These days that footage can even be uploaded to external servers in real time. Even if I wiped the records here, unless I know where the video footage was sent to, I'm basically screwed.
I'm damned if I keep it, I'm damned if I give it back. If I'm damned regardless, let's just use it right away. Besides, I should have enough prowess by now to at least evade the cops, right?
If worst comes to worst, we can just step out of this realm momentarily with my wife's help.
At this point in my train of thought, I walked over to my wife's side who was still eating popcorn with sparkling eyes.
"My wife, can you teleport us to the nearest car dealership? It's a few blocks away and it has a sign that says D*dge on it."
"But husband wouldn't that be boring and cheating?"
"We're just going to buy a motorcycle for transportation so we aren't walking everywhere, that's all."
"A motorcycle? I saw one of those in a movie from your world. Let's get one, it looks like fun."
My wife opened up a rift in space and we disappeared from in front of the bank and reappeared in front of the dealership.
At first my intention was to get a motorcycle, but when I was in front of the dealership I suddenly remembered a certain quadricycle.
When I walked inside I approached the desk quickly and asked them if they had a Tomahawk Mark V. Shockingly enough, they did have one. It looked like I hit the jackpot with this place. They said it was only for show purposes and not for sale. It's not even street legal after all.
