Sanji reached out to her as she retreated. "Miss Nill! Wait! Don't go! Come on, it's me, Sanji! You know I would never hurt you or lie to you. I couldn't!"

He was aware of the dogs and birds starting to close back in on him, but he steadfastly ignored them. Only when they attacked would he retaliate.

Getting her to cooperate was the first step in finding a way to reverse the harpy-ness, Sanji figured.
