Pirate Catcher in the Rye

Three days later,

After settling in with Bettina, Hawkins came to Alderney alone.

As usual, people here are still living a normal life, and they are discussing the recent major events at sea, but none of them are related to the Basil family.

Something is wrong!

Hawkins frowned. Based on his understanding of Doflamingo, how could it end so anticlimactically?

"No matter, let's go see home first!"

After a short pause, Hawkins hurried home. Although he had prepared for the worst, it did not prevent him from retaining his expectations.

Whoosh!

Hawkins is at full speed, and he can't wait to know the result now.

quickly,

Hawkins came to the base of the Basil family again. Looking at the crowds of people coming and going in front of him and the familiar castle, it seemed that nothing had happened and nothing had changed.

"Clap!"

Tears couldn't help but fall down.

He was so ruthless in abandoning his companions and his family without any hesitation or sloppiness.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't care.

On the contrary, he cherishes everything he has now, but compared with these, reason has the upper hand!

If he stayed, everyone would die and the enemy would remain at large.

Only by living can you have everything, take revenge, and see new hope.

This time he won, and it was a fluke.

This is the best result!

"Master Hawkins!"

At this moment, two men, wrapped in gauze and looking like mummies, walked slowly behind Hawkins.

"Master Hawkins, we have been waiting for you!"

Beck grinned, the smile on his face still so bright.

It's good to be alive,

He thought he was dead!

"Don't blame yourself, we are alive now thanks to you."

Brent looked guilty: "Your choice was not wrong. The results of the divination have already explained everything. Moreover, I accidentally led the enemy there!"

Seeing Hawkins crying, Brent suddenly felt relieved for some reason.

Do we think we are partners if we are buried together?

A true partner is to leave the hope of life to a more valuable person.

Perhaps Hawkins usually behaves too maturely. He always treats the other party as a peer, and even treats the other party as the boss because of his status and strength.

But think about it seriously, Hawkins is only 12 years old, is he too much of a jerk?

Of course, if he knew that Hawkins was already an adult mentally, and only [-]% of his tears were for them, he wonders if he would still blame himself so much!

"Welcome back!"

Smiling, Brent reached out and patted Hawkins on the shoulder.

Maybe it wasn't such a bad thing to be caught by the traffickers. He used to be alone, but now, he has a trustworthy partner!

The opportunities in life are always wonderful. Just like this sea, miracles happen every day!

Uh?

Hawkins was a little confused.

A stupid man and a slave, what are these two people talking about?

We have only known each other for a few months. Isn't it natural to abandon you?

I just feel a little sorry!

never mind,

While the tears are still dry.

"Beck, Brent, my best mate, I thought I'd never see you two again!"

"I...I'm so happy!"

Hawkins wiped his eyes with a remorseful look on his face to make the redness more obvious, and to see if he could squeeze out a few more tears.

"Although a person's life is long, there are only a few people he really cares about, especially important partners!"

"Perhaps I have been strong for too long, and I am sometimes a little unkind, but in my heart, you have long been my family!"

...

family? ! !

Such strange and warm words!

Baker and Brent's bodies trembled, their eyes turned slightly red, and then tears flowed down uncontrollably.

"It turns out that everything you did before was just a disguise. It turns out that we are so important in your heart."

"What virtues and abilities can we have to make you value us so much?"

"Master Hawkins, wuwu~"

In broad daylight, the two grown men hugged each other and cried.

Gee!

It seems that not only children, but adults in this world are also on fire.

When the book comes to use, I will regret it. Hawkins secretly regrets it. If he had known it, he would have read more chicken soup articles!

……

living room,

"In other words, Doflaming let you go and left like this?"

"Yes."

"That's strange. I didn't beat you or abuse you. It's not like Doflamingo's style!"

Hawkins pondered slightly, feeling that something was wrong. With Doflamingo's bad taste, there was no reason not to torture them to vent their anger.

"Maybe...because we are too weak!" Brent said with a look of shame.

He was clearly determined to die, but he was easily defeated by Diamanti, and the delay was almost negligible.

Hawkins was able to escape smoothly mainly due to the tunnel and his outburst.

"That Pika is the same, especially with his ability. After he turned into a giant, he knocked me down with one blow!" Baker said with some lingering fear.

This is the first time he has encountered such a strong opponent!

"Pika, that guy is only 21 years old now, and he doesn't even have control over domineering. How are you so vulnerable?"

Hawkins raised an eyebrow.

Although he had long since given up on anyone with the title of fighting champion, he didn't expect Baker to be so unlucky.

It is true that Baker is only 17 years old, but the gap is so big that he will most likely not be as good as Pika in the future.

While this made Hawkins a little disappointed, he also began to consider recruiting partners with more potential!

Although the sea is vast, there are not many people with real potential. Currently, only Poison Q among his men is pretty good.

Brent is already 31 years old, and he is considered quite talented to be able to single-handedly defeat a pirate with a bounty of 1000 and [-] million beli.

unfortunately,

The new world is not the North Sea!

At this age, Brent has not yet touched the threshold of the Iron Cutting Realm. By the time they go to sea, their potential will be basically over.

"Not... vulnerable?!!"

On the other side, when he heard Hawkins' words, Baker was like a thunderbolt, and he felt that the whole world had darkened.

I want to die!

...

"North Sea!"

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Ignoring Baker's self-pity, Hawkins placed his right hand on the table and tapped his index finger rhythmically on the table.

Drake, Navy Undercover, Pass.

Luo, wrong way, Pass.

The King of Evil is out to sea, Pass.

After counting, Hawkins found that among the well-known figures in the North Sea, only the Vinsmoke family had a chance to get it, and it was also the most valuable.

Unfortunately, the five siblings are still too young now, and Sanji is only two years old.

Because of this, the current Vinsmoke family is only supported by one person, Vinsmoke Gaji, and will soon be driven out of Beihai by the Don Quixote family.

They won't return to the North Sea until Doflamingo captures Dressrosa!

Hawkins wants eggs, not chickens that lay eggs. In his opinion, Gaji is completely redundant, and that waste can't even lay eggs now!

As for other unknown and forgotten strong men, Hawkins believes that there are also many.

After all, the World Government later launched a large-scale military recruitment, and even two general-level combatants appeared. Who knows if there are monsters of the same level.

There must be at least slightly worse ones, and certainly not too few!
