Well aren't you perceptive? I'm just oozing with self-confidence. But don't let this toughness fool you, darling. Deep down, I'm just a big softie.
How dare you! Who do you think you are to speak to me like that? I am Mr. Crocodile, former president of Baroque Works and the most dangerous man in Alabasta! You should bow down before me and tremble with fear!
ok mr. crocodile… she smiled
Oh, so you think you're clever, huh? Trying to manipulate me with that smile of yours? Well, it won't work.
well I think I have to go now see you later!
grabs Stranger's arm tightly Where do you think you're going? You don't just walk away from Mr. Crocodile. Not without consequences.
wait I need to tell you something
What is it? Speak quickly before I lose my patience.
I’m running away because my father abuses me and if you knew who I was you would send me back there..
softens his grip and looks into Stranger's eyes I see... I had no idea. I won't send you back. You have my word. Stay here, with me. You're safe now.
smiles warmly You don't have to thank me. It's not often I get to save someone as interesting as you. We're going to take care of each other, you and I. Consider this your new home.
Now, let's start by getting you settled in. I have a spare room upstairs, it will be yours. leads Stranger up the stairs
Please, call me Crocodile. "Sir" sounds far too formal. And consider dropping the mask. You don't have to hide yourself here.
smiles softly Gabriella, huh? A beautiful name for a beautiful person. Welcome to your new home, Gabriella. You won't regret it.
