Pirate Catcher in the Rye

"Wait for us, Boss Hawkins!"

Just as a few people were arguing, Hawkins had already gotten off the boat.

Since the unification of Alderney, Hawkins has often led merchant ships to trade across the North Sea. On the one hand, he earns Baileys, and on the other hand, he recruits subordinates with outstanding potential.

Over the past few years, although he has not met anyone who stood out to him, he has also recruited many outstanding players.

"It's like this again!"

Jamory was a little speechless: "Why are you so impatient? Boss Hawkins is really serious."

After all, he is also the navigator of this ship, how could he be left behind?

"Idiot, today's guests are the famous Don Quixote family."

"Boss Hawkins once had a problem with them. If we start a fight later, don't blame me for not warning you!"

Brent shook his head helplessly.

In the past, only Baker could talk to him. Since the team grew, it has become much more lively than before, but sometimes it is too noisy.

Diamanti!

Thinking of the person he was going to see next, Brent tightened his grip on the saber at his waist.

The shame of being easily defeated by Diamanti four years ago has been lingering in his mind!

Last year, he finally realized the breath of all things and became a true swordsman.

This time,

He will never fail again!

"Don't worry, our Basil family is not easy to mess with. We haven't met a decent opponent for a long time, and everyone is looking forward to it!"

Jamory smiled confidently. He was very confident in himself and even more confident in Hawkins.

"I won't wait for you!"

In the distance, Baker shouted.

It turned out that at some point, the rest of the people had arrived behind Hawking, and only Brent, Bartholomew and him were still on the boat.

"Damn it, it's all because of you, an old man who is always gibbering!"

"Hey, who are you talking about? I'm only 35 years old, okay?"

"You guys can argue, I'm leaving first!"

……

quickly,

Hawkins and a group of people came to his manor, but it was only him and some cadres. As for the Guardians of Light, they naturally went to the camp.

His manor is not big, and apart from him and Bettina, there are only twelve cadres living here.

"Oh!"

From a distance, Hawkins saw Doflamingo and others sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Doflamingo is still the same, but Vergo is no longer here, probably going undercover in the Navy.

In addition, there are a few more familiar faces from Hawkins.

Don Quixote Rossinandi, Trafalgar Law, Baby-5, Buffalo!

It seems that Doflamingo has some special requirements for cadres, either from the group of people who grew up with him, or from the people he trained since childhood.

"Hawkins!"

Seeing Hawkins return, Bettina breathed a sigh of relief.

Such a group of vicious criminals suddenly came to the house, and Hawkins was not around, which made her feel a little scared!

"Thank you for your hard work, Bettina."

"It's not hard. Hawkins, do you want something to drink? And they..."

"As guests wish, let's all drink coffee. I think they won't mind."

After saying that, Hawkins found a random sofa and sat down.

Fortunately, the living room is very large, covering hundreds of square meters. Hawkins often holds banquets in the living room, and even if there are more people, it doesn't seem crowded.

"I brought so many naughty children. This is not a kindergarten, Doflamingo!" Hawkins said jokingly.

Then he glanced at Trafalgar Law and Baby-5.

Now Luo is only 11 years old and is still a little kid who cannot see the future. Baby-5 is only nine years old and seems to be a little afraid of strangers.

It's nice to be young!

"Asshole, who are you calling a naughty kid? You're not even a few years older than me!"

Hearing what Hawkins said, Luo suddenly became a little angry. He was not afraid of heaven or earth now.

"Little devil..."

Jamory on the side was about to rush out to teach Luo a lesson, but Hawkins stopped him with his hand.

"Don't be impatient!"

"The other party is still a guest after all. How can he use force casually? This is not the way our Basil family treats guests."

"boom--"

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong shock wave was aimed at Luo in front of him. Luo suddenly trembled and fell down with white eyes.

Gollum!

Baby-5 next to Luo was startled and couldn't help covering his mouth, his eyes full of fear.

Everyone in the Don Quixote family present suddenly became serious, and even Doflamingo was slightly moved.

They were all too familiar with that kind of power.

King's qualifications! ! !

"I haven't seen you for a few years, but you have grown to such an extent and recruited a group of extraordinary subordinates. It's really impressive!"

"刈刈刈—"

Doflamingo glanced at the people behind Hawkins. These people had very strong auras, and none of them were weaker than the pirates outside who had bounties of tens of millions of beli.

The most concerning thing is their age. Even the oldest Brent looks very young.

Of course Doflamingo knows exactly what this means!

"Before you contacted me, I did a divination once and today is my lucky day."

Without explanation, Hawkins took out a stack of cards from his arms and randomly selected one.

On the card, a little bird with red feathers and a dagger in its mouth was flying from a distance.

really,

It’s the same one I drew before!

"How about it, the result of my divination should be correct!"

With that said, Hawking picked up the cards and turned the pattern side towards Doflamingo and others opposite.

Such an obvious meaning is obvious even to people who don’t understand divination!

"刈刈嗈..."

Doflamingo nodded and did not deny it: "Divination, it's really interesting."

Despite saying this, Doflamingo not only did not relax, but the fear in his heart actually increased.

The unknown is not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is that others know it, but you are kept in the dark, but you still think you have control of everything.

This is an unprecedented opponent who can predict the future!

"30 million Baileys."

Hawkins smiled slightly and held out three fingers.

"Since this is our first cooperation, too much would be unsound and too little would appear stingy. 30 billion is just right!"

Oh?

Doflamingo was a little surprised when he heard Hawkins' words.

He was just stopping by to do some business, but he didn't expect Hawkins to be so generous. And according to the other party's wishes, this was just the beginning!

but…

According to his intelligence, the members of the Basil family's escort team have expanded to 3 people. Where did he get so much money?

Seemingly sensing Doflamingo's confusion, Hawkins explained:

"In this chaotic world, there are not many merchants on the sea anymore. I have taken the opportunity to make some money in the past few years."

"If you are lucky enough to meet a pirate, you will have treasure, and the pirate ship can be sold for a lot of money. Of course, their heads are also very valuable. It is simply a mobile treasure house!"

"Speaking of which, I've been taking care of your population auction house a lot in the past few years."

A mobile treasure trove?

To put it nicely, isn’t it just a crime?

However, when it comes to the Population Auction House, there has indeed been a mysterious major customer in recent years, who has continuously provided them with high-quality 'goods'.

It seems that this is Hawkins in front of me!

If there is a reward, sell it to the navy, and if there is no reward, sell it to him. It's a good deal.

kaka~

Rosinandi on the side clenched his fist tightly, and his knuckles made a cracking sound due to too much force.

I thought that Hawkins, a popular hero, would not collude with Doflamingo, but I didn't expect that he would be so dirty secretly!

How ironic,

Is this what you call a hero?
