Luffy's voice isn't the same pitch as before, a higher tone like that of a child's rings as he snaps back a hearty response to the now taller ninja.

"No one hurts my nakama! Not even some crazy salad! Everyone okay? Ashe? Cloud? Wait.." He pauses for a moment, looking blankly at Yuffie. "Thanks, Youpy." As Ales runs over, Luffy crosses his tiny arms in front of his chest, looking over his form before responding to his merchant.

"Yeah, I'm fine. For some reason I get small like this if I use my GEARS. It's like my body kinda' shrinks because of all the strain, or something like that."
