Pirate Catcher in the Rye

the next day,

"Master Hawkins, it's so gloomy and scary here!"

Bettina looked around, her face full of fear and uneasiness, but Hawkins didn't say anything, and she didn't dare to leave without permission.

"It's just a little darker."

Hawkins held Bettina's hand and smiled lightly: "Don't worry, the people imprisoned here are ordinary people."

For Bettina, prison is like a scourge, a black area that she will never touch in her life, but for nobles, it is commonplace.

The prison, which covers an area of ​​several thousand square meters, is not too big, with only dozens of scattered cells.

It is a place used to imprison the enemies of the Basil family and some servants who have made mistakes!

The total number of prisoners in the entire prison does not exceed 200, and there are only eight jailors. Compared with Impel Down, which holds hundreds of thousands of prisoners with bounties, it is not worth mentioning.

"That's right, he is indeed Master Hawkins!"

A jailer behind the two men flattered them without leaving any trace.

They are all warriors trained by the Basil family. Due to their strength and talent, they failed to pass the guard selection and ended up becoming jailers in the prison. This is another kind of assignment!

But this did not stop him from flattering Hawkins. After all, everyone knew that Hawkins was the only heir to the Basil family.

Even if Hawkins looks down on them, it can never go wrong to leave a good impression now when their children grow up!

Ok?

Hearing the jailer's words, Bettina's body shook slightly and she forgot her fear in an instant.

Someone is actually competing with me for my job!

"Master Hawkins, I'm not afraid at all."

"Thanks to you for holding my hand in time, now I am full of strength. Sure enough, genius is different!"

Bettina looked at Hawkins with a look of fascination. Although she lowered her head, she felt like she was looking up at a god who had left the world.

This is the power of faith! ! !

Uh!

The jailer was dumbfounded. Perhaps he had been in prison for a long time without contact with the outside world. At this moment, he was a little speechless. At the same time, a person flashed in his mind——

'Larger King' Rolando!

Rolando, the Big Talker, is a well-known fairy tale in Beihai, and the origin of this story is the Kingdom of Lubnir where they are located.

Although Bettina's expression was sincere, for some reason, he immediately thought of Rolando, the big talker!

"Let's go to the prisoner's room with the biggest crime. I have something to do." Hawkins interrupted Bettina's next words.

Although he really enjoyed listening to it, it would be endless if it continued like this. He was here to test his Devil Fruit abilities today!

After saying that, Hawkins walked forward immediately.

According to the distribution of prisons, those incarcerated in the innermost areas are usually the worst prisoners!

Seeing Hawkins leaving, the two quickly followed him.

quickly,

The three of them arrived at the innermost cell. As expected by Hawkins, there were only two people in this cell.

You must know that in the cells in front, there are at least five people in one cell, and as many as seven or eight people. It seems that these two people are a little bit special.

It is clear,

It's either their identity or their strength. In short, they are more dangerous and a greater threat than other prisoners!

"Master Hawkins, these two are the captains of the Stoke family's guard. They are very skilled!" the jailer introduced.

This prison only holds about a hundred people in total. For these mortals, the jailers naturally have a lot of treasures.

And this is why Hawkins asked him to accompany him!

"Stoke's family, that's what it is!"

There are two major nobles in Alderney, one is the Stoker family mentioned by the jailer, and the other is the Basil family where Hawkins belongs.

As the biggest rival of the Basil family, in addition to the overt competition, the two sides also have endless conspiracies and tricks secretly!

For example, the two guard captains in front of them were secretly captured by the Basil family, using this method to weaken the power of the Stoke family in disguise.

In the same way, the Stork family was not much better. They secretly killed many members of the Basil family and caused many obstacles for them.

The nobles in the world are all black!

"Go over and check if there are any problems with the handcuffs and shackles." Hawkins turned to look at the jailer and ordered.

Be careful with Wannian Ship. He is still young and has not found a scapegoat yet, so it is better to play it safe.

"Yes, Master Hawkins!"

Hearing this, the jailer opened the door of the cell and checked it carefully. After confirming that there was no problem, he nodded to Hawkins.

"You go out first!"

Hawkins ordered without question.

He couldn't wait to try the straw fruit's ability as soon as possible.

The ability of the Straw Fruit cannot be exposed yet. He is still young and the power of the Basil family is not very strong.

Starting next year, the wave of pirates will gradually surge, and you can temporarily hide it and use it as a trump card!

and,

The danger may also come from within the Basil family.

After all, the Straw Fruit was the one who was known as the strongest diviner in the history of the Basil family. It should not be exposed until Hawkins has no ability to protect himself.

Jealousy can make people crazy and lose their minds, otherwise his father wouldn't be so mysterious.

"Yes!"

Bettina and the jailer responded in unison and quickly left the cell, but not too far away, probably only about ten meters.

"What a troublesome thing!" Hawkins muttered to himself with a sigh.

Although it was troublesome, he had to do it.

On the original trajectory, the powerful, calm and wise Hawkins failed, and in the end he failed to prevent the demise of the Basil family.

This is even if Hawkins knows divination!

Five years ago, he had speculated on some possibilities.

If it's pirates or hostile nobles, it can be easily dealt with, and even the king of Lubnir Kingdom has nothing to do with other kingdoms.

What we fear most is the revolutionary army!

From a God's perspective, the revolutionary army that has been hiding all day seems to be nothing to fear, but that is for the World Government.

For Hawkins, it was a behemoth more dangerous than the Four Emperors. From the moment they were born, their positions were destined to each other!

These nobles are the ones the revolutionary army wants to overthrow, even if he has done nothing now.

In addition, even if there is no Basil family, as long as he becomes a pirate, his position will not change!

The revolutionary army not only instigates the overthrow of the country's political power, but also actively attacks pirates to protect civilians.

Pirates like the Straw Hat Pirates are truly unique!

Even the red-haired pirates will inevitably grab territory, and with the size of the Yonko Pirates, there will certainly be many pirates who kill, loot, and bully the weak.

So Hawkins never thought that red-haired Shanks was a good person.

If he is really a good person, he will not become one of the Four Emperors, but will be like Luffy, a living Bodhisattva who is free and easy and helps people in trouble!

"Tsk, tsk, for a force that can subvert the political power of dozens of countries, it feels like twenty years is not enough!"

"I'll kill all the flowers after they bloom, so I need to brainwash them as early as possible!"
