Slowly.

The sandstorm subsided.

Luffy wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and watched the figure approaching from afar.

He was a sturdy, resolute man dressed like a warrior monk, with a close-cropped haircut. Every inch of him exuded masculinity, and he was as chilling as a drawn sword.
