[Could it be that he was attacking so fast that the blood wasn't having time to let gravity take it before being absorbed into the steam that surrounded Luffy?

Sephiroth peered over her, his intense green gaze as if it might see right through her and discover all of her weaknesses without even having to lift a finger.

Quickly he turns towards Luffy, eyeing where the small child was passing dangerously close to where everything was set up. Then spots certain shadowy figures that have noticed his proximity and given chase. So, for now, he turns back to the woman who had challenged him next.]

[Already, bruises and a noticeably fatter lip from Luffy's assault were fading away. Sephiroth's regenerative potential not even needing much of a healing spell at all any more.
Still, it doesn't stop Sephiroth glancing at Ib and back to Red - threat assessing for sure.]
