Luffy had never been a fan of vegetables. If it came to having a cooked meal by his ship's cook, he'd prefer nothing but meat on the table. However, there had been times where a garnishing or two had made for a tasty side-dish. Grilled mushrooms, buttered squash, and these strange pumpkins that tasted more like cotton candy than vegetable that could only be found on the Grand Line.

While the vines lacked a desirable taste, Luffy set to work his jaws on the vines that were attacking at Yuffie's legs. Leaping forward and grabbing what length of vegetation that he could, his pearly white chompers set to trying to dismember the plant with his razor sharp teeth. While he might not have his Devil's Fruit powers any longer, the boy had once bit through a knife with little to no effort. A piece or two of vine shouldn't be any problem, right?]

Nnnnghh-!! GET OFF MY NINJA!
