The girl's high booted knee connected behind his own denim-clad one and Smoker bent the leg in preparation. He had to refrain from reflexively wrapping around her leg and using it yank her off balance as he would with pirates. The goal wasn't to capture her and there weren't any other smoke logia users in all the rest of the world. The White Hunter disliked the idea of allowing her legs behind his but little else he could do. He brought her leg down with his, kicking back hard like a mule to throw her off-balance long enough to spin on his heels and hold a knee up just slightly for protection.
