The Baron is nothing more than an illusion, given that when Ramza tries to throw himself against the brute he merely moves through him as if he were nothing but air.
"What shall it be then? Death by solitude, or by my arrow?"
Luffy goes still, his chest barely raising more than an inch as he hangs off the rock like a fresh catch.
".. Foolish dreams."
His head lifts so that the light of the setting Sun barely reaches the height of his nose. The shadow cast by his messy hair covers most of his features, keeping the glow in his eyes as he stares at the Baron with conviction and malice.
"Nothing they do is foolish.. They know what the risks are.. If they're willing to put their life on the line, then I'm more than willing to do the same for them."
His left hand lurches forward, following along the length of the arrow as he growls in response to the pain. The hole in his palm is a scratch, a temporary set back to a greater cause. The sight disrupts the Baron's position, catches him off guard as he had been so sure that the boy would be nothing more than a broken shell. He readies another arrow, aiming it in haste to try and strike Luffy before he's able to come back from his lowly defeat.
The feathers at the end of the arrow are now painted red, Luffy's hand finally coming free and he clenches it tightly. His other hand is pulled with greater haste, the growing volume of his voice becoming all the more grated as the hurried way he frees himself does little to stop the pain. The Baron sends the arrow flying at Luffy, trying to hit him at his vitals, but alas it is not meant to be. With both hands free, the young pirate hits the ground face first while his arms stretch out to grab at the arrows pinning his feet.
