It seemed that Naja had struck upon the same reason why Luffy had come to the gate in the first place. Poor, confused, and frightened people taking their first steps inside these big-city walls might just find themselves locked in a black and heartless grip right off the bat. Still, Luffy didn't quite catch on to Naja's oh-so 'kind' intentions in trying to warn her; taking a deft leap from the wall, Luffy jumped down, letting the wind carry through his bold and loose-fit clothes as he rapidly fell, then landed with flawless form despite the height.

Frowning, he shook his head and said, "Hey, now you're just trying to scare her! Just knock it off, hmm?"

Tipping back his hat, Luffy let the mass of tattered straw hang by the thick string looped around his neck, with the brim pressed against his strong and slender shoulders. Stepping forward, his lean arms hung down plainly at his sides, just slightly tensed, but he made no other aggressive moves for the moment.
