Pirate Catcher in the Rye

One month later,

"Tsk tsk, are we finally here? The arms business is indeed the most profitable industry!"

In a warehouse covering an area of ​​more than tens of thousands of square meters, everyone looked at the dazzling array of weapons piled up in front of them and couldn't help but secretly gasp.

If you don't consider the loss, this quantity can already equip an army of 5 people. Doflamingo actually only spent a month to deliver it. The energy is a bit exaggerated.

You know, they are not the only ones Doflamingo cooperates with!

Those ordinary swords, axes, and axes are not worth much, mainly guns and bullets. If they fight a few more times, Hawkins will go bankrupt.

Fortunately, it is now the year 1507 of the Hainan calendar. In more than five years, the focus of flamenco's development will shift to the new world.

He could eat part of the arsenal the other party left in Beihai!

"Then the next thing is to consider how to capture the Kingdom of Lubnir."

The weapons are already in place and the troops are sufficient. All that is needed now is a legitimate excuse.

Although they could also seize power through pure force, the losses would be too great and the gains would not be worth the losses.

Not only that, Hawkins' current identity is also a problem. He is not only the heir of the Basil family, but also the hero of Alderney!

The most important thing is that if the casualties are too great, the surrounding neighboring countries will definitely take advantage of the situation and come here to pick peaches.

This is absolutely not allowed in Hawkins!

The methods used to eliminate the Stoker family were not suitable for seizing power.

After all, the size of a noble and a country are completely different. The Kingdom of Lubnir has a standing army of fifty thousand people.

If strength is not considered, only the Whitebeard Pirates of the Four Emperors can compare with them in terms of numbers.

There is no pirate group in the North Sea that can reach such a scale!

Force, marriage, concession, revolution...

Hawkins's brain was working rapidly, thinking about various possibilities and action strategies that could be adopted.

And the method of directly resorting to force has been ruled out by Hawkins!

"Are we going to use Staley's method to marry the princess first and then kill the king and princes?"

After thinking for a while, Hawkins finally gave up this strategy. Although he was not a good person, he still had a bottom line.

Thinking about it this way, Sabo's brother is indeed a wolf killer. Not only did he adopt an adoptive parent, he also killed his father-in-law's family.

Ordinary people really can’t do it!

Among these methods, the least costly is to give in, but it is also the least likely.

After all, the royal family of the Kingdom of Lubnir is not a good person. Even if everyone is dead, they will not give up the throne.

"Boss Hawkins!"

Seeing Hawkins's expression fluctuating and changing, the others could only look at each other helplessly.

Even Hawkins had no idea, so naturally they couldn't come up with any solution.

In this world, all countries have lasted for a long time, and they do not change too frequently.

In addition, being separated by the sea on different islands for a long time, a lot of information cannot be shared, and there is no systematic political struggle experience.

They are also helpless!

Hawkins shook his head: "It's none of your business, it's my problem."

Speaking of which, they are just ordinary people, neither nobles nor officials. They can contribute and make suggestions, but formulating big strategies is obviously not their strong point!

Thinking of this, Hawkins was a little envious of red-haired Shanks, who could find a think tank like Beckman with both wisdom and strength.

"Stick to death the bold, starve to death the timid!"

Gritting his teeth, Hawkins finally made up his mind.

It was just a middle-level Kingdom of Lubnir, and it would be destroyed at worst.

Not to be missed!

Even Crocodile, whom he didn't look down on, dared to take action against a superpower like Alabasta, so why did he hesitate.

You know, the Kingdom of Alabasta has a standing army of 60 people, and it is also one of the twenty kings who formed the world government, but later did not go to live in the Holy Land!

Compared with pure pirates like Crocodile, the Basil family is also a member of the nobility, and there is internal competition and there is not that much resistance.

"Now that the decision has been made, let me see the final future!"

With that said, Hawkins took out a stack of cards and began to divine by himself.

"Crash!"

shuffle, cut,

Time and time again, cards slipped through his hands, and Hawkins frowned. This time, his divination time seemed to be particularly long.

a long time,

Hawkins breathed a sigh of relief, and there was only one card left in his hand.

This is? ! !

Looking at the picture on the card, Hawkins showed a rare expression of shock.

This was the last thing he wanted to see!

The picture of the playing cards is:

In a magnificent hall, several civilian-looking people knelt on one knee, picked up the crown and raised it respectfully above their heads.

Opposite them, a man whose appearance he couldn't see clearly knelt down on one knee, and the people he knelt on were civilians holding crowns.

Under the opponent's feet is a broken throne!

……

manor.

"Is the investigation clear? Tell me whether there is a revolutionary army in Alderney Island, and how many revolutionary troops there are."

"I just want answers!"

Hawkins asked grimly.

The result of yesterday's divination was the last thing he expected to see. He did not expect that the Kingdom of Lubnir would be one of the dozens of kingdoms overthrown by the revolutionary army.

In this way, it is understandable that on the original trajectory, the Basil family would be exterminated five years later!

However, he was not the original Hawkins. After his participation, the Kingdom of Lubnir fell into the hands of the revolutionary army.

This made Hawkins angry, but also cast a shadow in his heart!

Apart from the Revolutionary Army Headquarters, the Revolutionary Army has no other armies. The main force that overthrew the regimes of various countries were local civilians or rebels!

He must know to what extent Alderney Island has been eroded, and to what extent the Kingdom of Lubnir has been eroded.

If this leads to the destruction of the Basil family, then he will never be merciful, but will destroy everything before the revolutionary army takes action, even if he bears the reputation of being an executioner.

Anyway, he plans to go to sea in the future, but it will be more than ten years early. Even the identity of a hero is just a tool, so he is afraid of notoriety.

He is a pirate!

"Boss Hawkins, according to preliminary investigation, there are more than [-] people who have had contact with the Revolutionary Army, or whose identities can be determined!"

"However, there are less than 300 people confirmed to join the revolutionary army."

5 people? ! !

Hawkins was shocked when he heard this number. You must know that Alderney is their base camp, where the Basil family has lived for generations for more than 400 years.

I'm afraid those kingdoms that were overthrown were like him. They didn't understand where they lost until the regime was overthrown!

Each and every one of them is hidden so deeply that even the local residents like them have not discovered it. No wonder they have become a serious problem for the world government.

"Tsk, tsk, even me, a hero, is not spared. Can they be sure that the civilians on this island can live a better life without me? This is simply stupid!"

"There are so many people from the Revolutionary Army here, and there will only be more on the main island."

After a pause, Hawkins suddenly had a better idea.

The result of his divination should be that in a few years, the current revolutionary army should not have a dominant advantage.

There’s a lot of room to maneuver!

"From today on, we will do our best to investigate the revolutionary army on the main island, and then report the truth to our King."

"With that character, he would never tolerate his throne being threatened, especially under his nose."

"When they are both defeated, Basil Hawkins will appear as a hero again."

"The new script this time is - the warrior who slays the dragon!"
