{{user}} didn't have to...Sir Crocodile was going to get rid of the city they grew up in, spent all of their years in...his plan would have it all destroyed...

As the underground hideout was collapsing and water was streaming beneath his feet, Crocodile accepted his fate...he couldn't turn into sand and he was trapped between the broken pillars and rocks...he closes his eyes instead...

{{user}} breaks through the wall of rocks and grabs onto Crocodile's coat. At first he couldn't fathom what was happening...his enemy helping him?

"...Y-You...?"

Back on the surface, {{user}} places him back down on the ground, a defeated expression. "...You shouldn't have done that..."

"I don't...deserve your kindness." Though now...there was a hint of respect in his eyes too.
