"There is a possibility that the devil fruit is the Fuwa Fuwa which belonged to Shiki" Hawkins said with a slight hint of surprise as he did not expect such luck.
"Have a look captain" Sarquiss took the devil fruit and handed it to Hawkins.
Hawkins looked at her for a few moments while he thought about what to do with her, then he took out his cards.
"Consume fruit... chance of death 100%"
"Transfer damage with Voodoo technique... kill chance 100%"
"I can't seem to consume this devil fruit." Hawkins was a bit frustrated, as the Shiki fruit would have given him a huge power boost.
'I guess I still have to wait to get the Yami Yami' Were Hawkins' thoughts.
"Then what will we do with the devil fruit?" Law asked while still looking at the waves in the sea caused by the islands that had fallen, soon the polar tang would fall into the sea so he was looking at the situation.
Hawkins looked at Bellamy and Sarquiss.
"Which one of you wishes to eat the devil fruit?" Hawkins asked, his confidence in them was high, since he had already checked with his cards the chances of being betrayed by them, which were minimal.
They both showed interest in eating it, locked eyes for a second before Bellamy spoke.
"Captain Hawkins, I think you should be the one to decide who to give the fruit to," Bellamy said and Sarquiss nodded.
"I understand... I think Sarquiss should eat it, it suits your far away fighting style better" Hawkins handed the fruit to Sarquiss who took it happily, while taking a big bite of the fruit.
Only for a second later his face turned green from the taste, with force of will he swallowed the piece of fruit and once it went down his throat, he began to spit to try to get the bad taste out of his mouth.
"HAHAHAHAHA" Bellamy, Bepo, Penguin, and Shachi let out big laughs as they mocked Sarquiss. Even Kokushibyō wore a mocking expression, with Hawkins and Law showing amused smiles.
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH YOU FOOLS!" Sarquiss yelled angrily, but the others just ignored him to continue laughing.
"Alright, do you feel different? Remember that one of the fruit's main abilities is the ability to allow the user to float." Hawkins spoke causing the others to stop laughing and look at Sarquiss expectantly.
"I don't feel very different captain, but I'll try to concentrate so I can float" Sarquiss closed his eyes as he tried to summon the power of the fruit with his mind, it took a few minutes but he was able to start floating, he rose a meter before falling tired.
"Very well Sarquiss, you're training now must be completely focused on your devil fruit, you can take Shiki's uses of the fruit as motivation" Hawkins said.
"I will do so captain, thank you very much for giving me this power, I will not disappoint you" Sarquiss nodded while putting on a serious face indicating that he would give his best effort.
"Get ready, we are landing in the sea, come on captain I must treat your wounds" Law said and everyone got ready to continue sailing.
Hawkins and Law started to walk towards the interior of the sub, when Hawkins walked past Bellamy and put his hand on Bellamy's shoulder.
"Don't worry Bellamy, in the future I will get a suitable devil fruit for you" After saying this, Hawkins continued walking towards the interior of the submarine.
Bellamy stared at Hawkins's back for a few moments before flashing a big smile.
Some days after
Lvneel
Lvneel is the North Blue Island closest to the Grand Line entrance, this is where Mont Blanc Noland was born and where he was executed.
At this time the Hawkins pirates were buying supplies before leaving for the Grand Line, Hawkins was buying some Log Pose so he could sail the Grand Line.
"I see… they want to stop me before I enter the Grand Line" Hawkins said as he paid the store owner.
"Eh, eh?? I don't know what you're talking about Mr. Hawkins!! I don't mean to stop you!!" The shop owner was extremely scared, he had served pirates before, but none with a bounty as big as Hawkins, who was known throughout the North Blue.
Hawkins didn't say anything and just walked out of the store, with his Observation Haki he could feel that they were following him, after walking a few minutes he arrived at the pier where the Polar Tang was.
There was the rest of the crew ready, all the supplies had been previously entered into the polar tang, even Kokushibyō was already inside, because Law with his observation Haki had already realized the situation that was coming and had informed him. others.
"Shachi and Penguin, store the log pose in the Tang polar and prepare the ship to depart" Shachi took the log poses and ran inside the ship together with Penguin.
Hawkins turned around, just in time to see the arrival of a hundred Marines, in front of them came 3 men.
"Bastille, is it not enough for you to lose a hand and therefore you want to lose your life?" Hawkins said with a slight mockery in his tone.
"Pirate trash you finally came out of hiding, I've been looking for you for a long time" Bastille said as she raised her new hand, which was a sword attached to the stump.
"Hmmp it's not worth talking about more, Law and Bellamy take care of the two captains who are behind Bastille, Sarquiss and Bepo take care of the rest" Hawkins gave the orders and then created his straw sword to proceed to run at high speed towards Bastille.
'His speed is much greater than in our previous battle' Bastille thought because in just a second Hawkins was already in front of him and without a chance to take cover, he was sent crashing into a house due to a blow from Hawkins who with Soru appeared immediately by his side.
"I want you to see how this plays out… Straw Man" Hawkins said this while producing a large amount of straw from his sword, Hawkins summoned a demon-like entity made of straw and nails.
Said demon used the 5 giant nails that he had for fingers on his right hand to pierce Bastille's 4 extremities and abdomen, taking advantage of this, he raised Bastille so that everyone could see him, Bastille spit blood and although he tried to move, he could not because of the Voodoo curse de Hawkins had already fallen on him, controlling his movements and added to being pierced by 5 giant nails, the only thing Bastille could do was look at the marines who were still in shock at the speed with which the events occurred.
//For clarification, one of the nails went through a bit higher due to Bastille's forearm being severed the first time by Hawkins//
"Rear Admiral Bastille!!" Commodore Sicily and Akehende cried out in anguish, they had recently been promoted to Commodore and this was their first mission with this rank, Rear Admiral Bastille had personally requested them, but they did not expect these developments.
Sicily and Akehende ran to help Bastielle, but were intercepted by Law and Bellamy.
"Kill them all..." Hawkins gave the order indifferently, Bastille tried to free herself with all her might, but she couldn't do it... all she could do was watch as all the marines in the area died at the hands of the pirates.
The man named Law, whom Bastille recognized as the guy who used a mask the first time, cut Sicily to pieces without her dying, to end the fight by taking Sicily's heart with her devil fruit ability, Sicily died. when his heart is crushed.
The man named Bellamy didn't seem to have any devil fruit, but he did look like a psychopath who let out big laughs every time he pierced Akehende with the Shigan technique.
Without a doubt, for Bastille the two strongest after Hawkins were the two of them, since they could also use Haki, the others called Sarquiss and Bepo took care of the other marines with great ease, it seems that the entire crew knew the rokushiki and this was something which surprised Bastielle.
At the end there was only a large number of bodies and blood in the place.
"Bastille, you were too late, if this fight had been 3 months ago maybe we would have lost" Hawkins said this because he was clear that his great increase in strength was due to the 3 months of training with Shiki.
"Why?... Why don't you kill me too?" Bastille said with anger and frustration in her voice.
"It's easy, it amuses me to see your misfortune... fight me again when you're a vice admiral and bring with you all the rear admirals you want, I'll kill all but you... then fight me again when you're an admiral and bring with you As many Vice Admirals as you like, I'll kill everyone but you... then fight me when you're Admiral of the fleet and bring all three Admirals with you, on that day I'll kill you," Hawkins said mockingly as she undid the Straw Man and they began to leave with his crew.
"See you at the Grand Line" Hawkins gave a last greeting, Law didn't say anything and just followed Hawkins closely, Bellamy laughed at Bastielle with great laughter.
Hours later
reverse mountain
"We are one step closer to achieving our goals, Law," Hawkins told Law who was standing next to him as they turned downstream to enter the Grand Line.
"That's right captain... thanks to you captain I have become much stronger at an incredible speed" Law gave a slight smile to Hawkins who had already perfected a friend
As Hawkins waited to continue speaking, he could feel the Red Line shaking.
"Law, let's not stop once we enter the Grand Line, I prefer to avoid the cause of these tremors" Hawkins told Law, as he preferred to avoid Laboon and especially Crocus who was a crew member of Roger's pirates.
"Okay captain." Law didn't question why, and simply went inside the submarine to pass the order not to stop.
1 hour later.
"Captain the log pose has already taken a direction" Penguin looked as he looked at the Log Pose that he had on his wrist.
"Okay, let's go that way." Hawkins hoped that the first island they went to wasn't Little Garden, since he didn't want to spend a year there.
"Captain, the newspaper with new rewards" Law said as he paid the newspaper to the seagull, then handed the rewards poster to each crew member.
"I guess the civilians took their pictures," Hawkins said, not giving much thought to his new reward.
"The Magician" Basil Hawkins
Captain of the Hawkins Pirates
325,000,000 Berries
Alive or dead
"Well, I'm surprised they found out my name... I think we'll be on Doflamingo's radar soon," Law said as he looked at his reward.
"The Surgeon of Death" Trafalgar Law
First Officer and Medic of the Hawkins Pirates
221,000,000 Berries
Alive or dead
"Hahahh-haha my nickname is very funny, have you seen it captain?" Bellamy proudly displayed his rewards poster.
"The Hyena" Bellamy
Hawkins Pirates Fighter
129,000,000 Berries
Alive or dead
"I was hoping my bounty would be higher and I don't even have a fucking nickname," Sarquiss groaned loudly.
Sarquiss
Member of the Hawkins Pirates
60,000,000 Berries
Alive or dead
"You at least have a good reward" Bepo complained, as tears fell from his eyes
Bepo
Hawkins Pirates Mascot
500 Berries
Alive or dead
"Calm down Bepo, it's not that big of a deal" Penguin was patting Bepo on the head to calm him down.
"YOU GOT BETTER REWARDS AND DID NOT EVEN FIGHT!" Bepo yelled as fire shot out of his head.
"Hahahh-haha calm down a little pet." Bellamy sneered at Bepo.
"AH WHO ARE YOU CALLING A PET?" Bepo and Bellamy butted heads.
The two got into a relatively harmless fight.
"I don't understand why they put a bounty on us anyway," Shachi said.
Shachi
Member of the Hawkins Pirates
10,000,000 Berries
Alive or dead
Penguin
Member of the Hawkins Pirates
10,000,000 Berries.
Alive or dead
"It's for me, it doesn't matter if you're a fighter or not, as long as your part of a well-known pirate's crew they'll put a price on your name... don't worry Bepo, I'm sure next time you'll get a proper reward." Hawkins spoke calmly.
In the evening
Hawkins was entering a small room in the polar tang, in said room it was too cold, the water could easily freeze there.
This room had not been used before in the Polar Tang, until now.
Hawkins walked to the end of the room, stopping in front of a figure stationed in a pod on the wall.
"It took me a long time to find your body" In front of Hawkins, in a freezing chamber was Shiki's corpse.
"I need to find Caesar Clown to carry out this plan" Were the words of Hawkins as he left the room.
End of chapter.
This chapter was made with the intention of showing the strength that the Hawkins pirates have, the current Hawkins is many times stronger than the Hawkins who fought with Bastille for the first time.
In addition to the rewards, the government is intrigued as to why a pirate group knows rokushiki, added to the fact that three of those pirates handle Haki, well I think the rewards are not too absurd.
Hawkins ignores Laboon because he isn't interested in her or Brook.
I appreciate the comments, that motivates me.
Greetings .
