You didn't even hesitate, did you?

You acted on instinct, not even thinking about what could've happened to you.. you were more focused on saving Luffy

The punch went right through you, a strangled gasp leaving your throat as you little brother looked up in horror as shock made your body limp and ridged

The fist was pulled back, slow, and you fell to your knees, eyes glued to the sky before Luffy sat up and collected you in his arms frantically, like maybe if he held you close, nothing bad would happen

He was still in shock himself? Had he really just seen that? No.. no he couldn't have... but, the warmth blood on his hands told a different story
