Pirate Catcher in the Rye

"Whoo~"

"This world... is really wonderful!" Hawkins exhaled heavily.

Fortunately, he is not the protagonist. As a supporting character, it is ten times easier to break free!

Hawkins is not too pessimistic.

On the one hand, the target is not him, but on the other hand, he is confident enough in himself. He has some advantages of foresight and is proficient in divination.

As long as you are careful enough, you have a great chance of winning!

"What are you thinking?"

Reiju asked curiously. He always felt that Hawkins was a bit arrogant, but she had never seen other fortune tellers, so she didn't know if all fortune tellers were the same.

Do you know too much?

Reijiu couldn't help but patted her chest and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was still a child, so she didn't have to worry about so much. As long as her family was safe, that was enough.

"It's nothing, I was wondering if you hid the devil fruit. After all, children always like to play hide and seek!" Hawkins narrowed his eyes slightly, looking like he had seen through everything.

"I'm not a child!"

Reiju rolled her eyes: "It's enough for our Vinsmoke family to have combat uniforms, and we won't become landlubbers."

Uh?

Hawkins was stunned for a moment, and actually felt that what she said made some sense.

Not only that, Reiju and her brothers are also transformed by blood factors. They have superhuman physiques since birth. When combined, they are no less powerful than Devil Fruits.

Unfortunately, only Gaji and a few of his children own such high-level combat uniforms, so it should be difficult to mass-produce them.

Otherwise, not to mention other people, even Hawkins himself will have a great combat bonus.

"Iji and the others..."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to them. It's not too late to hurt them!"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. Although their characters are a little bad, they will still have good fighting capabilities in the future. They are just a little stupid."

To be honest, Hawkins doesn't have any bad feelings. To be precise, Iji and the others are even more innocent than Sanji.

They never hide their thoughts, they always say what they say, but their emotional intelligence is too low and they appear a little arrogant!

but,

Hawkins can also understand this. Everyone has a superhuman physique from birth, and is ten times stronger than ordinary humans, or even more. It would be strange if their tails are not raised.

Just like in his previous life, if he had super powers, let alone being too exaggerated, and could create a small flame out of thin air, Hawkins would go sideways.

Although Iji and the others were deprived of emotions, the inherent vanity of human beings seems not to have faded away!

"Snapped!"

Hawkins reached out and patted Reiju's little head, and smiled: "In the entire Vinsmoke family, you are the best. Not only have your emotions not been erased, but you have also perfectly mastered the superhuman physique."

"Of course, he is also very smart. Unlike your younger brothers, who always look like a child who will never grow up!"

In Hawkins' view, Vinsmoke has two of the most perfect works, namely Reiju and Sanji, while the three of Iji can only be regarded as semi-finished products.

Reiju had everything from the beginning, while Sanji grew up slowly. Later, his superhuman physique also awakened!

Without covering the armed domineering force, relying solely on the body's own defense, he was able to withstand the attack of 'Disaster' Quinn head-on, and remained unscathed.

The defense and recovery speed are simply appalling, even Hawkins is jealous!

"gone."

With that said, Hawkins lifted Reijiu up and put her on his shoulders.

"What are you doing? I can leave by myself."

"I should have my own child in two years. I want a daughter, so let me experience the feeling of an old father in advance!"

"You have such a bad personality, how can someone still like you? Did you steal it?"

"Stolen!"

Hawkins said angrily with black lines on his face.

After all, he was considered an elegant and decent young man. I would give him a [-] out of [-] for his appearance, but he actually doubted his charm.

"Then can I be an aunt?"

"You are a little kid but a big kid, you are my sister!"

"The child is born, can you beat him? Humph, I can't beat you, so I'll take it out on your child."

"Beat me however you want, just don't beat me to death!"

……

Afterwards, Hawkins and Reiju walked around for a long time and roughly memorized the basic layout of the war house.

It can be said to be a blessing in disguise. Although their previous ship was destroyed, they got a better one. Even with the addition of [-] light guards, it was not too crowded.

"Boss Hawkins!"

In the distance, Baker and others walked over excitedly. It was obvious that they had gained a lot.

"It's been a few days, and the battle between the King's Army and the Revolutionary Army should be almost done. Five thousand members of the escort will be selected to garrison later, and the others will return tomorrow!"

Hawkins pondered slightly and said.

He finally decided to take over the Kingdom of Castelia. Although it was too poor to open the pot now, there was still no shortage of labor.

As long as we can provide a relatively stable environment and supply some food, we can regain our strength in two or three years!

After all, it is a large island similar in size to Alderney, and its value is not low, not to mention that the distance between the two islands is not far.

"But what if other kingdoms come over?" Brent said worriedly.

You know, in addition to the Kingdom of Castelia, there are two neighboring countries surrounding the Kingdom of Lubnir, and their military strength is not weak.

"They don't have the guts."

"There are precedents from the Kingdom of Castelia and the Kingdom of Germa. As long as we sail this ship back, they will be worried about being attacked by us!"

Although Germa has declined, as Gaji has worked hard in recent years to develop technology and create replica soldiers, it still makes the countries in the North Sea fearful.

Even the legendary Germa was destroyed by Hawkins, so those people naturally did not dare to act rashly.

And Hawkins also has the confidence. There are still thousands of clone soldiers on Germa's ship in the incubator, and they will be put into use soon.

Coupled with Germa's technology and a large amount of arms, it was just a kingdom of Lubnir, and Hawkins had no intention of delaying it any longer!

……

Kingdom of Lubnir,

Addis.

"The damn revolutionary army actually managed to win over so many people. Why did they only find out now, you losers!"

The king of Lubnir was furious.

Three days ago, under the reckless artillery fire of the King's Army, the Revolutionary Army suffered heavy losses, and they wiped out more than 6 people overnight.

But in the next few days, those revolutionary troops learned their lesson, and they began to carry out sneak attacks from all over the royal capital.

Guerrilla attacks, digging tunnels, assassinations, and bribery of the king's army guards. They did everything except confronting them head-on.

All this has seriously hindered their offensive rhythm. If this continues, when will they be able to take back Alderney?

From the beginning of the war to the present, the original 10,000 king's army has only more than 8 people left. The revolutionary army is even worse, with more than [-] people, and now there are only [-] people left.

This horrific battle damage cast a thick layer of haze in everyone's hearts!
