Just hearing those names made people hungry.
Still, Sanji had already mastered Tempest Kick and adapted it into a move of his own using Diable Jambe. His talent was extraordinary.
Bon Clay did not retreat from the flames. He kicked out with his Swan Strike, and its specially made swan head, designed for greater destructive power, smashed straight through the fire.

His flaming right leg swept toward Bon Clay's head. Bon Clay had almost no time to dodge and could only throw up an arm to block. His sleeve caught fire at once.
