Luffy laughs loudly at the beat down in front of him. It's stupid, really. How these old geezers could have thought they could dictate his navigator and princess-now queen, could try to tell them what to do, try to chain them down.
Luffy snorts. Idiots all of them. 'The height of stupidity' as Torao always says...Whatever that means.
Because yes, Vivi is his and Nami is his, they are nakama and for nakama he would do anything but this is different. Can't they see that Vivi is Nami's and Nami is Vivi's the way Luffy is Torao's and Torao is Luffy's? And honestly, if Vivi didn't care so much for her country, Nami would have already stolen her and taken her with them to the ends of the world. And while he certainly enjoys beating the crap out of anyone who says Vivi is too soft, too young, too blinded or was supposed to marry someone the geezers chose, it's always funnier to see Nami and Vivi show the world what they are made out of, that they are part of his crew and are more than strong enough and capable to take care of themselves.
Someone gets a few more broken bones and Luffy wonders when they will learn.
