(It's taking every ounce of strength Luffy has not to break the shackles or to slip out of them, caught between concern of risking Nami in doing so, or not being there should something go wrong. His vantage point gives little away as to what sits in the room, but Luffy finds he can hear just fine. Should anything terrible sounding reach his ears the captain will be out like a shot.
Time stretches into what feels like eternity, Luffy doesn't his best to disregard the voice in his mind that points out what's wrong with everything that's happening, with everything that isn't happening. In any event Luffy has experience ignoring his grandfather, this is nothing new and when Nami finally leaves the room the young man's expression brightens. There's even a smile on his face as he waits for Nami to unfasten the shackles, elated to feel the hat placed back on his head. The clarification makes sense; a betrayal isn't as such if it's offered freely and it's a stroke of genius Luffy hadn't even considered.
The tears are worrisome, Luffy unable to hide his concern. The idea Nami is upset over what has happened doesn't sit right with him; he'd offered to do this, his idea, there's little reason he can see that would result in being distraught. But then this place is distressing enough without things happening, the oppressive heat and almost claustrophobic walls are enough to bother the sturdiest of people and Luffy rushes to catch up with the young woman.)
Worth it, the door stayed open. What was in there?
