[She sees him upon her, right leg already raised for another kick, and she knows there's no way, no time to stop it. She's aware even as she throws her blade that she's going to get hit, and the most she can hope for is to soften the blow.]
[Vivi aims not at his right leg, however, but sends her Slasher winding tightly around his left ankle--their relative positions leaving him no way to defend against that without halting an attack already guaranteed to hit--and as soon as she feels it catch, she throws herself, following direction of Sanji's kick. It connects, as she expected, though her momentum lessens the blow somewhat, and as she falls she tugs the line taut--there may not be enough force there to topple him, but she can hope. At the very least, it should put him off balance.]
[She may have to concede this round to Sanji, though. She'll keep trying for a reversal, but at this point, it doesn't seem likely.]
