The swiftness with which Sanji rose just enough to practically bend his leg backwards to kick was almost inhuman. He missed the one that would have knocked into all the others, though the one next to it sufficed just as well. It was a real power hit, and the thing went flying back as fast as it had been coming. Sanji's head was down, but anyone could still see his teeth gritted on his cigarette in pure fury.

"Don't you touch her!" he snarled, punctuating the word with a sideways kick to the face of the next one. He planted himself between them and Callie and just beat the ever-living crap out of any limb or torso that came within range of him for a few minutes, twisting acrobatically but not leaving that spot until Callie could get up.
