Oh, hi, way to touch a nerve. Not Zoro himself, obviously, Luffy would never blame him for getting hurt on his behalf, if anything it only stirs Luffy to action. Harshly. Reactively. Maybe even a bit overreactively. It was no grand secret that sacrificial acts were a button to press as far as Luffy was concerned, and there was good reason for it considering who he’d lost to similar circumstances (and how). Not a second passes between the injury itself and breath catching harshly in his throat, pupils dilating as he flies forward, knuckles grinding into the offender’s facial features like a truck hitting gravel.
“Hands off!!” He spits through clenched teeth, voice low and raspy through grunts of anger. In just that split second, all of the weight and impact behind his blow would flow from his hands to the other’s head, sending them flying, before he doubled back to catch Zoro before he fell.
“Zoro! Are you okay?!”
