Boom!
A massive shield formed from countless white threads appeared behind him, while huge threads erupted from the ground, blocking Dawn's nearly sneak-attack-like punch.
But the danger had not passed. Dawn stepped through the air, landing on the ground he had created, then used Shave to instantly close in on Doflamingo and threw another punch.
