[The duo escape their pursuer - Sanji, because of some impressive acrobatics and a few well-placed vines, and Usopp, because Sanji doesn't leave a man behind and ends up grabbing the sniper by the ankle before he careens over the side of the island and to his death. Sanji enjoys a well-deserved chuckle when the danger passes, at least until Usopp begins shrieking again.
Turns out that vine he's holding onto? Well, it's more of a whisker. Belonging to a giant six-legged tiger snarling at them. Rather unfortunate, that. Even the chef pulls a flabbergasted face, no doubt wondering what the hell is wrong with this floating island and its bizarre variety of killer beasts. Usopp still in his grip, Sanji swings to an actual vine before tossing the man onto safer ground - "safer" being a relative word here. The jungle tiger is on its feet and eyeing Usopp like an unexpected snack. Needless to say, Usopp is less enthused.
"Sanji-kuuuuuuun!"
Yeah yeah, he's on his way. The chef just opted to take the scenic route through the trees; and once at the proper elevation, he rockets down, gaining momentum and twisting his entire body vertically until his foot collides with the tiger's head. A giant thud later and the beast is presumably slayed - that or sporting the mother of all concussions.
Beside Rin, the real Sanji clucks his tongue around a cigarette, muttering something about overdoing it.]
