"No. If he had a problem he should've killed them. Plain and simple. Slavers are all the same."
Crocodile grins.
"This is what I like about you Cavalier. You are much more... reasonable than the rest of your generation! Good. Good. Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah! Then I think we'll get along swimmingly!"
"Hold your ponies Chocophile! I'm not doing jack until you tell me what you're planning in that greasy head of yours!"
"Very well. Daz."
He looks at his subordinate who fetches him a chair which he can sit on. With a devil may care attitude he crosses his legs and arms as he starts explaining his plan to you.
"Basically as things stand right now you got next to no chance of beating Ivankov. Even if you were to rematch him in a prime condition he simply has too many people around him now, which includes many officers and another commander of the revolutionary army. Now usually I wouldn't consider them much of a threat. But commanders are a cut above the rest. They deserve to be taken seriously. So my proposition is as follows. I'll create a diversion for you. One that the revolutionaries won't be able to resist. Once I divert their attention you'll be free to go in and focus your efforts on Ivankov himself."
Marcella quickly steps up as soon as Crocodile finishes and shows off her No.1 Bitch act.
"Oh yeah? You talk a whole lot of shit for some fucker who was just sitting idly and not doing anything! If you had any BALLS you would've attacked that stupid Okama once he was battered by Silver! So no! I don't buy any of this shit! You're just some coward who wants US to do his dirty work for him! Distraction, my ass! This idiot here is the most distracting thing in the world! And we work for him! You think you can out clown the circus? Fat chance!"
"Cavalier. I certainly hope you can keep your people on a tight leash. I'm kind enough to do the same so I expect you to follow suit. Now as to why I don't do it myself is simple. Ivankov is familiar with my abilities. And he's smart enough to make a run for it once it becomes apparent that he's loosing. It's not him that's the problem. It's all of them together. Rest assured neither of us can stand up to two Commanders and their entire entourage on our own. Divide and Conquer is our best option. So what do you say? A clean shot at Ivankov. That is my offer. And all I ask for in turn is that you kill him. A thing you were already going to do. I just need your word for it. It's practically free."
He extends his hand expectantly.
>Deal
>No deal. I'm no weenie. I don't need help!
>Other?
