Easing up you allow her to get back on the ground but immediately afterwards you hug her close and hard.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
"I-It's okay champ!"
She pats you on the back, desperately gasping for air.
"Please let me breathe!"
You stop the bear hug and her bones stop crackling. The others look at you with curiosity and ask if you're feeling better now. You twirl around a few times and stretch your limbs as a test drive.
"Yeap! Looks like I just had to break it all in! But now we're back in business!"
But of all people, Crocodile is not amused.
"Really? That's all it- Fine. What's done is done. Are you feeling up to the task then Cavalier?"
"Ready as always! Let's go kick some ass!"
"Splendid. I'll get in position then. I'm giving you 30 minutes to do the same. You'll know when I start. Daz. You go and prepare our vessel for departure. I want to leave as soon as Ivankov is confirmed dead."
"Got it boss."
You quickly evacuate the house and go your separate ways. It takes quite a bit of effort to avoid being detected by the Revolutionaries that are combing through the island in search of you right now but somehow you manage to sneak up to the town square where Ivankov and Greki are. Thankfully the giant is quite easy to spot in the crowd.
"Well?! Are vyou gonna tell me where vyour friends are? Or will Vi have to turn you into a woman as well Mister Giant?"
"I'd love to see ye try, ye freak of nature. Just know that once I get out of these bindings I won't waste my time making empty threats."
What's not fortunate are the other officers you were warned about. It's Koala, her fish-man friend and of course, Sabo. The big guy himself. If your memory is any good and if he became stronger over the last two years as well, then yeah he'd be a pretty major threat.
"Hmmm. It looks like it was wise to accept Crocodiles bargain. This would be quite a hard fight normally."
Hagetaka observes.
"Yeah. But where is that stupid sandman?"
As the question leaves Williams mouth an echo can be heard ringing through the island.
"GROUND DEATH!"
The ground shakes and an ever expanding crack appears before your very eyes. The island is splitting in half. Before anyone could act on what's happening the great divide that appeared in the ground separated the two halves of the Revolutionary army. Some of the more veteran soldiers try to make it over the chasm but to their detriment a great wall of sand rises from the crevice. Those that were hit by it had most of their skin peeled off from the affected area.
"Erm. Guys? Remind me to not threaten him so readily next time."
Murray gulps.
>"Rescue Greki and get out of here. I'll handle the rest."
>"Make sure to keep the goons off me. I want to fight him one on one!"
>"Let's jump that freak! All together!"
>Other?
