Well she could probably just pull his arms a little to the side or something. Or trip him up. Or cover his eyes. Punching his nuts has already been mentioned.

Exactly. Grabbing someone's arms and then pulling them is something she does a lot.

What ways? How would she go about blocking it?
Blocking opponent's attack has never been her primary defense.
Nico simply fights different than most of the crew. Rather than blocking a sword strike, she'll grab the sword arm so it can't be swung. If someone's about to shoot, she'll grab the gun, and so on.
Her moves literally appear on someone. She doesn't have to do the normal 'block/counterattack' rhythm thing.
Franky hits his opponents hard as his thing, Nico prevents her opponents from doing their things as hers.
Remember when she disarmed the entire Strawhat crew at once?
Were here Hana Hana clones shown to be able to switch places with her?
They're indistinguishable from her, and she'll hide her real self, so they might as well be.
Remember when Luffy and Jinbei were fighting and she got between them, then vanished?

Even if he's suddenly pointing it upwards or something?
She's not deflecting the missile, she's deflecting his arms.
She deflected the whole Thousand Sunny after all.

Ah, but is she strong enough to do it? Her arms, I mean.

Nope! 😄

Wait wait wait, doesn't any damage done on her Hana Hana body parts apply to her real body too? I am pretty sure this is one of the explicit weaknesses of her Fruit, that she feels what her sprouted body parts feel.

The missiles are fired from his left shoulder, and are rather simply operated as well.

I love the first comment. haermm
Kinda inspired by the Nico vs Franky argument...
Is it just me, or did Sanji get the least upgrades? Nico got upgrades in raw power and scale, and versatility and trickiness. Franky got a stronger body, all kinds of new vehicles, and a beam. Chopper upgraded his everything, as did Usopp and Nami. Luffy got his haki and can apparently use his gears without drawback now. Zoro can cut ships in half and create cutting storms that hang around. Sanji got... skywalking, plus probably a strength boost, but that's it.
