Ryu having been about to warp them out opened his eyes as a man bumped him into a book shelf. The man had a large scar on his chest that he was showing off proudly. Ryu smiled the two of them between bookshelves wondering where the barrel had come from. Ryu refocused on the fight ahead of him whispering to Youmu "No need to kill him that will only make them hunt us down with more force. The spell sounds like a ward or barrier." Ryu laid a gentle hand on Luffy's shoulder "We should probably take him with us if we're accused of a crime I don't want him paying the price with us" [@VitaVitaAR][@MacDuffy]

Ryu didn't have much time before the spell was completed and the men seemed to have resigned themselves to die. It seemed a shame to escape alone so instead Ryu gently cast a reflect spell to protect them from the enemies spell hoping no one would have to die
