A Hero Saves the Beauty

Yasakani no Magatama!

Countless laser beams shot from Kizaru Borsalino's hands. Sensing the danger, Empress Boa Hancock immediately used Observation Haki to anticipate the attack and dodge.

As a master of hand-to-hand combat, she could evade an attack if she saw it coming and moved fast enough.

But without the speed to match, even the strongest Observation Haki would leave her taking the hit. It only let her sense an attack; her body still had to react.

Super Armament: Dragon Claw Fist!

A masked figure in white suddenly appeared behind Kizaru Borsalino and slammed a clawed hand into him, sending him flying.

Boom!

As luck would have it, Kizaru Borsalino crashed into a Pacifista on his way down, wrecking it on the spot.

"Who are you?"

The masked man's sudden appearance startled not only the Marines but Empress Boa Hancock as well.

Hancock, who had always despised men, glared at him. If he had not just sent Kizaru Borsalino flying, she would already have attacked him. His crime? Men were forbidden to set foot on Amazon Lily. Violators died!

"It's me, William!"

The masked man flashed to Hancock's side and immediately revealed who he was.

Dragon D. William knew Hancock well. If he did not identify himself quickly, she would put him on her list of enemies simply for being a man on Amazon Lily.

With Amazon Lily under attack and Hancock seething with rage, she certainly would not give him much chance to explain.

The best explanation was to reveal his identity. William had worn a mask because he did not want to expose himself, and he would not have done so here for anyone he did not trust.

If Dr. Vegapunk had not sent word, William would never have known that Amazon Lily was facing a Buster Call
