Pirate Catcher in the Rye

In 1491 of the Haiyuan calendar, Beihai.

"Wow ~ wow ~ wow ~"

Along with the downpour, lightning and thunder, a loud cry broke the tranquility of Alderney.

In a luxurious castle, dozens of gorgeously dressed men and women gathered around a large pink round bed, looking at the woman on the bed with excitement.

Do not!

To be precise, it should be the baby in her arms.

Their eyes were all red at this time, and their eyes were full of greed and jealousy like evil wolves!

"Finally born, according to the divination, this child will lead the Basil family to create unprecedented glory!"

"It looks very ordinary. Are the results of the divination accurate?"

"Nonsense, of course divination is a matter of... leaving it to fate!"

"makes sense."

Everyone looked at the little baby in front of them seriously and started a heated discussion.

This is the first child of the new generation of their Basil family. In other words, according to the family's regulations, from the moment he is born, he already has the right to inherit all the family's property.

It’s so jealous that it makes people crazy!

"Cough cough~"

At this moment, a noble man with blond hair coughed heavily and signaled everyone to quiet down.

Basil Edwin!

The second son of the Basil family and the younger brother of the current patriarch, his ability is not that good, but because of his status, he still belongs to the core and senior members of the family.

Speaking of Edwin, there were only a few people present who had a higher status than him, so there was no need to betray him.

But today is different from the past. He is the father of this baby. The father is more valuable than the son, and his status is also rising. For the sake of the future, there is no need to offend him for this little thing!

"He cried for so long. He is such an energetic little guy. Have you decided on a name yet? Edwin."

"This is the future heir of our Basil family, and we must give him a resounding name!"

"Do you need our help?"

Everyone immediately talked about it. Although the name is usually decided by the parents, this did not reduce their enthusiasm at all.

Especially the people of the same generation as Edwin. Their age difference is not big, and they are all married, presumably only in the past few years.

Unfortunately, it was one step too late after all!

"There is no need to do this for me."

Edwin shook his head speechlessly: "Hawkins, his name is Basil Hawkins!"

Naturally, the name had been planned out a long time ago. Regardless of whether the child was a boy or a girl, one was chosen for each.

It’s been more than half a year, and I started thinking about it from the moment I learned that Bernice was pregnant!

Edwin didn't have any preference for boys over girls, as long as it was his child, but it was naturally better if it was a boy, so that their family could have an easier life.

Just like now!

...

"Hawkins?"

Listening to everyone's conversation, the baby in the woman's arms suddenly stopped crying. She tried her best to open her eyes and see the world in front of her clearly, but the result was still a blurry scene.

However, hearing was not affected.

What's even more weird is that, for some reason, he can understand these people's words even though they are such unfamiliar vocabulary.

Moreover, the crying just now was actually not real crying, but the 'crying of ghosts and howling of wolves' in a state of extreme panic!

after all,

If his memory is correct, he should be dead. Why did he become a baby?

The most important thing is whether this is the earth he was familiar with in his previous life, or a new world.

As for hell or heaven, this option was automatically skipped by him. Although he was just born and his feelings were not very sensitive, he could clearly feel his current state——

A baby waiting to be fed!

'Basil Hawkins, such a familiar name, I seem to have heard it somewhere before, a famous scientist?Or a philosopher? "

Just thinking about it, Hawkins slowly fell asleep and fell asleep.

……

half year later.

"Wow~hahahahaha——"

The clear and melodious laughter came from the woods. This laughter was a little childish, but it was full of a domineering feeling.

If you listen carefully, it sounds exactly like those playboys in TV dramas who bully men and dominate women.

Insidious, cunning!

Through these six months of observation and the newspapers his family usually buys, Hawkins has already understood what kind of world he is in now.

That's right,

It was the One Piece world that he was familiar with!

He doesn't have a favorable impression of the world, but he doesn't dislike it either.

It's better than being a mediocre streetwalker in my previous life. I was so poor that I almost ate dirt every day and had to write in tears. Thinking about it makes people despair!

"Hi~"

Thinking of this, Hawkins couldn't help but shuddered. That memory was really terrible.

It's better now. Although the world is not peaceful and the sea is full of pirates who are burning, killing and looting, what does it have to do with him?

Now he comes from a noble family in Beihai. He is well-fed, well-clothed, and has a lot of maids to take care of him. He is so happy that he almost dies!

It's a pity that he is too young, not yet old enough to be sensual and galloping.

What to do! ! !

"But... Basil Hawkins, this name has to make people care."

"They are both from Beihai and the same age. What's more terrible is that there are a group of elders in the family who like divination!"

Hawkins's face gradually darkened.

No matter how you look at it, he is clearly the supernova who was at the same time as Luffy!

To know,

In this world, pirates are a game played only by the poor and orphans, and those with vested interests are very disdainful of pirates.

There are thousands of pirates in this world, but apart from the Four Emperors, the Shichibukai still have some status.

The other pirates are not worth mentioning at all. Most of their purpose in going to sea is just for treasure.

And treasure is exactly what the nobles lack most!

For example, when Luffy was a child, he met Blujem at the Uncertain Terminal, and he later met Crow, the captain of the Black Cat Pirates, who are among the representative figures.

Compared to pirates, his current aristocratic status is what countless people dream of. Regardless of status or wealth, he is completely on a different level!

Then,

What happened later that led Hawkins to become a pirate?

The Basil family has a long history. It was a noble family more than 400 years ago. In these 400 years, no one has ever become a pirate.

Why is Hawkins alone different?

How could there be such a big difference in the same environment? He didn't think there was anything special about the original Hawkins.

"No way?!!"

At this moment, a surprising but reasonable conjecture suddenly burst into Hawkins' mind.

If his guess is correct, I am afraid that the problem does not lie with the original Hawkins, but with the Basil family.

Pirates, rival nobles, kings, revolutionary troops, etc.

This series of factors may lead to the decline or even death of the Basil family!

really,

Fairy tales are all lies. No matter how good the start is, if you don't have the strength, you will be pulled down from the altar one day.

Especially after knowing the ending of the original trajectory.

"Damn it!"

Hawkins secretly became angry and decided never to make the same mistake again.

After all, he will also be the captain of the ship in the future, so he can't be beaten by Kira, the second in command. It's really too disrespectful!
