Anyone who was close to Garland when he changed forms would have enjoyed the view of Mary's clone being consumed by the flames, throwing its arms up but fortunately dispelling before any gruesome image could be seen.
Further back the real pirate crouched, watching the battle shift. She had let Ira go when he charged back in but her own eyes lingered on Saori. She hadn't made the wrong decision precisely in going for a killing blow but she'd have to give her a talking to about the proper way to do it. It was a touch too reckless and without the proper care, but it's not like they actually had much chance to learn that part of the Brotherhood's teachings. To a point that was probably for the best. And it's not like this was a normal situation anyway.
But she was glad she took the time to pull Ruby out of the fray at least. She closed the silent admonishment with a nod and then ran to rejoin the fight, going through the handseals for Shunshin followed by forming a new Clone.
