I don't want to be a general, I choose Buddhism

"Fate told me that this rum and fried rice cost a lot."

In the eyes of the bartender, Hawkins muttered something, then took out [-] Baileys from his pocket and threw them into the bartender's tray, then walked out of the tavern quickly without looking back.

'Are you kidding me? ! '

'Why do you encounter that level of existence in this kind of place? !Obviously, according to divination, the safest place in the entire North Sea is in this direction. '

Hawkins, who left the tavern in a hurry, kept talking in his heart, and then he did not forget to start divination of his own fate.

According to the divination before going to the island, his death rate on this island is zero.

However... as Hawkins drew out the Tarot card that judged the possibility of death, there was another "fool" on it that represented the unknown.

? !

Hawkins.

Cold sweat suddenly seeped out from Hawkins' forehead.

This was the first time Hawkins encountered this situation. No matter how critical the situation was before, he was able to judge the approximate death rate through fortune-telling.

"The death rate cannot be judged, so judge the survival rate..."

As soon as Hawkins thought about it, his palms trembled slightly and he put the Fool back into the deck, and activated his ability to divination again.

This time, six Tarot cards rose up in front of Hawkins at the same time.

Hawkins' eyes swept across, but his expression became completely stiff.

These six... turned out to be fools!

In other words, the survival rate is also an unknown that cannot be calculated.

"Why... are they all fools?"

Hawkins murmured, the whole person stayed in place completely, and he didn't even know what to do next.

Any action, death is unknown, survival is also unknown...

"How can it be impossible to judge the survival rate and death rate? Is the ability invalid?"

Just then, a voice sounded from behind Hawkins.

"Maybe I can answer that question for you."

Hawkins suddenly turned his head, and found that behind him were the two gray cloaked men who were at the same table as him in the tavern just now.

At this moment, Hawkins regretted his habitual divination for strangers, so he tried to find a suitable "scarecrow substitute" to bear the harm instead of himself.

And Yaen stared at the strange Hawkins in front of him through the eyes of baby-5, and said.

"Can't judge the survival rate and death rate? Maybe it's because I haven't figured out how to deal with you, so your divination can't show specific results."

After a pause, Ian continued to speak. "You can do divination again now."

Hawkins swallowed his saliva. For the first time, he felt that he was completely exposed to the eyes of others. Everything about him was seen through and controlled by the mysterious woman in front of him.

Immediately, Hawkins activated his ability again, and two tarot cards floated up from the deck again.

Hawkins glanced over the faces of the two tarot cards, and instantly recognized the names of the two tarot cards.

Ian, who witnessed all Hawkins' actions, asked. "what's the result?"

"Death and the stars..."

Hawkins replied grimly.

"From this, it can be judged that the probability of my death this time is extremely high, and the probability of survival is very slim. There is probably less than 5.00% chance of surviving."

"Ok?"

Ian subconsciously manipulated baby-5's body and rubbed his smooth chin with his hand, then spoke. "Isn't it zero percent? So in your opinion, what might that 5.00 percent survival be?"

Hawkins didn't answer, and didn't show any resistance or escape at all, but looked at Yan quietly.

The 5.00% possibility of survival is almost all due to the fact that the man in front of him has not yet made up his mind.

Escaping and resisting are meaningless, at least it is meaningless in front of this man who has both the "Fool" and "World" cards.

Yan looked at Hawkins in front of him and couldn't help laughing. "You seem to have made a very wise choice, so how about doing me a favor? As a reward, maybe I can reverse your probability of survival and probability of death."

"Please," Hawkins replied.

"I'm a little curious about what you mean by 'making this era come to an end or opening a new beginning', so help me with divination, and help me confirm whether the future I want can be achieved?" Ian replied road.

Hearing this unusually vague question, Hawkins couldn't help frowning, but he didn't answer for a long time.

Looking at Hawkins' embarrassed expression, Ian asked speculatively. "If you can't speak clearly, can't you divination?"

"That's right." Hawkins nodded.

Suddenly, Yaen became a little distressed and said. "It's just that if I tell you specifically, I'm worried that you will die because you know too much..."

After a pause, Ian continued. "After all, knowing a secret far beyond one's ability and status is itself a great danger."

Hawkins' expression twitched slightly, but his whole body slowly turned into a scarecrow-like appearance, and then he threw the tarot cards in his hand towards the direction of baby-5, letting those tarot cards float in the air Gai said in front of Yan.

"Since it is inconvenient for you to say so, then let you draw the tarot cards yourself."

"Is there such a way?"

Yan said something, then his eyes fell on the 22 Tarot cards laid out in mid-air in front of him, and he asked. "Choose one? Or choose several?"

"Choose as many as you like, this is also one of the arrangements of fate." Hawkins replied.

"That's it, then..."

.

Chapter 582 World, Tower, Hanged Man

Yan's gaze swept across the 22 floating Tarot cards in front of him. With a thought, baby-5's arm suddenly turned into a knife. Released a flying slash towards the tarot card.

The Flying Slash slashed across, and a large number of Tarot cards were instantly destroyed.

"Since everything is a choice of fate, the Tarot cards that are not destroyed by this blow are my choice."

Yann spoke calmly, his eyes swept across the only three intact tarot cards floating in midair.

"This is the first time I have encountered this approach. Your Excellency's thinking is quite peculiar." Hawkins said.

Ian smiled, but did not speak, but continued to watch Hawkins manipulate the three remaining intact tarot cards.

"The first one, the world; the second one, the tower; the third one, the Hanged Man."

Hawkins, who didn't dare to play tricks with Yan, took the initiative to explain the reversed Tarot cards. "Your Excellency just asked 'Will the desired future appear', right?"

"Right." Ion replied.

Hawkins, who had turned into a scarecrow, looked at the tarot card turned upside down again, and explained.

"'World' represents the future that your Excellency hopes for. No matter whether it succeeds or not, it will have an extremely terrifying impact. It will definitely bring about huge changes to the sea, and even affect every corner of the world;"

"The 'Great Tower' represents collapse and impermanence. The future you hope for may lead to complete collapse. The collapse may be the order of the past, or it may be everything you have today, and even more. Or the whole world..."

"The last 'Hanged Man' is a guiding card, guiding you how to act to get closer to the desired future."

Hearing this, Ian asked with a bit of interest in his tone. "Then how to act?"

In this regard, Hawkins shook his head and said.

"For the guide card, the same picture can have completely different meanings in everyone's eyes, and this is a tarot card personally selected by you, so even if it is done in my own way The interpretation may not be correct for you."

Yann frowned when he heard this, and then began to carefully look at the tarot card named "The Hanged Man".

A man hangs upside down on a tree similar to a gallows with one leg. From a distance, it looks like a spurned sinner is being tortured, but there is a holy halo on the man's head, and his face is full of blood. A sweet expression.

The whole gives people an unusually weird and uncoordinated feeling!

At this moment, Luo who was standing beside baby-5 spoke. "My lord, this guy's adrenaline has just risen slightly. He may be lying or hiding something."

Listening to Luo's words, Hawkins' pupils couldn't help shrinking, and his straw-like body subconsciously took a step back.

"Oh? Interesting... It seems that you should know something and didn't say it..."

Yan raised his eyes, looked in the direction of Hawkins, and said word by word. "Basil Hawkins, does it appear that you have chosen your destiny?"

'This guy... must have a considerable intelligence network in the North Sea! '

When Yaen called out his name directly, Hawkins instantly thought of the problem in his heart.

After all, Hawkins, who has been acting low-key in the North Sea and has not yet become a pirate, is not a well-known figure.

But even so, after the short contact between the two sides, the two guys in front of them have already found out their names.

Soon, under the horrified eyes of baby-5's gray cloak, Hawkins tried his best to keep calm and explained.

"I didn't intend to conceal it, it's just that some divination results that are difficult to be completely sure have no meaning to say."

"It's pointless to lie..."

Luo said directly.

"Human beings are creatures that cannot go against their instincts. No matter how well you control your micro-expressions, the slight adrenaline and nerve fluctuations in your body that come with lying cannot be hidden from me."

Hawkins was slightly shocked by Luo's ability, and suddenly felt something, and turned his head to look at his back.

"Wh... when?"

I saw a small, weird pink sarcoma on Hawkins' back. Even though Hawkins' body had been transformed into a scarecrow, the pink sarcoma still seemed to be completely integrated with Hawkins. No discomfort at all.

More importantly, Hawkins' own "straw fruit" clearly has the ability to "transfer damage", but the appearance of this pink sarcoma did not trigger "transfer damage".

"Don't worry, that thing is harmless in a sense." Luo explained calmly.

Obviously, Hawkins didn't believe Luo's statement at all, and this kind of thing was quite terrifying no matter how you looked at it.

At this moment, Hawkins finally understood why the death rate predicted by the previous divination was so high that he had no way to survive.

Hawkins took a deep breath, completely dispelled the small thoughts in his heart of trying to fool Ian, and said.

"The 'Hanged Man' guide card in the divination does require your own judgment, but the meaning of the combination of 'world' and 'tower' probably refers to the... red earth continent standing in this sea."

"That is to say, for the future you expect to appear, it is very likely that the entire Red Earth Continent will need to be subverted."

In the end, even Hawkins thought he was talking in his sleep.

As a continent that separates the entire sea from south to north with an altitude of [-] meters, the majesty and size of the Red Earth Continent is unimaginable.

Once the Red Earth Continent falls, it will be enough to trigger a 90.00-meter tsunami natural disaster that will sweep across most of the world, and then it will cause the sea level of the entire sea to rise, completely destroying more than [-]% of the islands in the entire sea. submerged.

At that time... it will be the end of the whole world!

What frightened Hawkins the most was that the result of the divination this time was invisibly corresponding to the "fool" and "world" displayed when he first divined the identity of the mysterious person in front of him.

Therefore, even Hawkins subconsciously concealed this information just now, so as to prevent himself from becoming the leader who promotes the end of the world.

When Yan heard the words, he glanced in Luo's direction, and Luo nodded, confirming that Hawkins did not lie this time.

PS: Happy New Year everyone, smooth sailing, perfect, everything goes well, everything is auspicious...

Chapter 583 The Twisted Cycle

'The red earth continent?The Hanged Man? '

In a well-protected ward of Wano Country Navy's G-9 branch, Yaen, who was lying on the hospital bed, murmured silently.

For the divination content Hawkins said, Ian did not doubt that it had a certain degree of authenticity.

After all, there is indeed some kind of power called "fate" in this sea, whether it is Mrs. Shali in Fishman Island, or the historical text handed down from the "Blank 800 Years" 100 years ago The information and so on, almost all prove that this sea has the ability of prophecy, revelation, etc. related to fate.

Of course, Yann would not fully believe in these so-called fortune-tellings of fate, but only used them as a reference.

After all, there are some things that occultism knows, which a rational guy like Ion would not notice.

Among them, let’s not talk about the so-called guide sign "The Hanged Man", but Ian is quite... concerned about the "red earth continent" deduced between the "world" and the "tower" by Hawkins.

"Speaking of which, the specific history of the Red Earth Continent... seems to have been ignored all the time..."
