The giant fragment managed to close half the distance between himself and Janet, but paused when the young woman started babbling, because he was sure it was some kind of attack.  Instead, all she did was talk about being the king of the pirates, and then grow quiet, for a bit, a really little bit like the kind of bit that caused fights whenever food, money, or sleep were involved.  One moment she was still, and not even a moment later there was an explosion.  It was a tiny explosion, where explosions were concerned, but it was enough to cause problems.  Which only gave the giant a moment to hesitate before continuing on with his attack.  AFter all, the burning ship was more in the background than anything else and wouldn't interfere with his job of caving the tiny head in.

Which didn't happen either way, because before he was able to take the last step, which would've been over the sleeping baby boomer, something sharp and cold thrust into his back a second before something else forced its way into his shoulder.  

"Urghh!"  The giant roared after he figured out exactly what was going on.  He manuevered his damagesd shoulder forwards so he could grab onto the chain he knew would be there and wrapped it around his arm as he turned, intent on pulling the purple haired woman towards him so he could crush her in his embrace.

The giant with the boulder couldn't help but pause upon seeing his other part being so thoroughly cut in half.  The tidal wave of blood and gore that quickly followed was even worse.  However, the absolute worst thing about the situation, the one that made him consider, however briefly, turning around and forgetting the whole thing was happening was the look of Red-eyes, covered in blood, and not at all seeming like it was an experience she was not used to.

This idea was quickly dashed against the rocks like so many dreams before it as the swordswoman realized he was there and challenged him to continue the fight.  So he did the only thing he could do.  He took a deep breath, puffed up his chest, and hurled the boulder with all his might.  He immediately rushed forwards, much quicker than any man his size should be able to move, with his arms outstretched as he was sure the woman would move around the stone as it was foolish for anyone to risk damaging their weapon by cutting through it.

"Psss."  A lone figure mumbled, squatting down besides the swordsman.  "Hey, man, are you okay?"  Gently, he put a hand on the Rainer's shoulder and gentle shook him.  The man would've preferred to check the pulse to see if the guy was still alive, but he had no idea how that worked and didn't want to spend time learning.  "If not, could I have your sword?"  He whispered even lower.  "It would go a long way in rebuilding my bar."
