Pirate Catcher in the Rye

"Hawkins kid..."

Whitebeard frowned, a state he had never seen before.

Could it be that after awakening and using strength beyond the limit, the Devil Fruit will corrode the body of the esper?

But to be able to fight against Aokiji and Kizaru for such a long time, and almost destroy Marine Fando, no matter the strength or ability, it is indeed Hawkins himself!

"Straw fruit! I didn't expect that you would turn into a scarecrow in the end. How ironic!"

"Whitebeard...save me...I have...many, many...treasures..."

"Treasure? If I could exchange treasure for the lives of Sachi and others, I would have done it a long time ago!"

Whitebeard shook his head gently.

Treasures can be said to be the most useless things, especially in the face of life and death, they have no value at all.

He must stay here, kill Teach, and eliminate the trouble for the Whitebeard Pirates.

otherwise,

Without him, the Whitebeard Pirates may not be a match for the Blackbeard Pirates!

"It's a pity... I originally planned to... remind you..."

What do you mean?

Whitebeard frowned, feeling a little baffled.

"Ace—"

Exclamations came from the battlefield not far away, and everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates opened their mouths in disbelief.

I saw Akainu punch Ace through the chest, but there was no Luffy behind him.

Ace, who is exhausted, cannot be Akainu's opponent!

"Whitebeard... the new era... there is no ship to carry you... this... the same goes for Fire Fist Ace!"

"Shhhhh!"

After saying that, Hawkins's body suddenly trembled, as if it had reached its limit, and the last half of his face was completely covered by straw.

Then it expanded rapidly and turned into a giant scarecrow hundreds of meters high.

With only his upper body, he looked like a statue, standing quietly on top of Marinevando.

Bunches of straw fluttered in the wind, and his eyes seemed to be looking at the sea ahead.

Everyone who saw this scene suddenly lost their voice, and even the waves caused by Fire Fist Ace just now subsided.

The entire Marineland was silent!

a long time,

"Hahahaha, Basil Hawkins, he deserved to be killed by the general."

"You actually treat us as cannon fodder. Do you think you can kill me this way? What a wishful thinking!"

"Tsk, tsk, being surrounded by two generals is really an advantage for him."

The thousands of surviving prisoners suddenly cheered. They were inexplicably sent to this horrific battlefield. God knows how scared they were.

Now that the culprit has finally been found, if it weren't for the lack of wine, they would all want to drink to their heart's content right away!

"Long live the Navy!"

"Long live General Sakaski, long live General Kizaru, long live General Aokiji!"

The navy also cheered excitedly. The death of Fire Fist Ace brought this public execution to an end.

Hawkins' death was also a great success. They killed a pirate with great potential in advance!

And this scene was spread all over the world through the phone bug.

……

Kingdom of Lubnir,

royal palace.

"Hawkins!!!"

Hawkins's parents, Basil Edwin and Bernice, staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Davion had quick eyesight and hands to catch them in time.

"Don't be impatient!"

Hawkins' uncle Edson frowned. According to his divination, Hawkins obviously did not die young.

How could it be possible to die like this!

But the facts are right in front of us, that person is clearly Hawkins himself.

click!

Davion quickly took out the pendant he was wearing, turned on a small mechanism, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the paper of life was safe and sound.

"Davion, what is this?"

"It's my father's life paper. Due to some reasons, I can't give it out too much, so..."

Davion opened his mouth to explain.

The Paper of Life is a huge flaw for Hawkins. Once it is obtained by the World Government or other hostile forces, it will be very dangerous.

So I only gave one copy to Davion and asked him to hide it!

"so?"

"Don't worry, Father, everything is fine. They are going to the new world soon. They should have some plans, don't worry."

Davion nodded and carefully put the life paper back into the pendant.

Once Hawkins is trapped in the new world, this paper of life will guide them to reunite in the future!

"Whoo~"

Hearing Davion's words, Hawkins' parents and uncle were relieved.

……

Chambord Islands,

"Xia Qi, do you think Basil Hawkins is really dead?" Looking at the picture in the video phone bug, Reilly was slightly absent-minded.

Ace's death is certain, but Hawkins's death is full of strangeness!

"Little Ace, and Basil Hawkins, these two actually... fell down at the same time."

"With their potential, there is no doubt that both of them are influential figures who will lead the next era."

Xia Qi sighed slightly, and then looked at Lei Li with a puzzled face, not understanding what he meant.

"That young man who could compete with Kizaru died so neatly."

"I wonder where Luffy will go in the end!"

Gollum!

Rayleigh picked up the wine in his hand and took a sip, tears flashing in the corners of his eyes, no matter how many reasons he had.

Ace is already Roger, the last bloodline in this world!

……

"Big fire!"

A stream of lava hit the scarecrow's body, and a raging fire began to burn.

A mere pirate stands like a statue in the Navy Headquarters Marinefando. No matter how you look at it, Akainu is a little unhappy!

In the center of Malinfando, the scarecrow left by Hawkins began to burn rapidly.

Seeing this scene, except for the Whitebeard Pirates, the other pirates and navy all smiled!

Naturally, the Whitebeard Pirates couldn't be happy. Almost at the same time, the family member they had worked so hard to rescue—Ace.

Dead too! ! !

"Gu la la la la la ~"

"Thief hahahahaha~"

The two opposing men, Whitebeard and Blackbeard, laughed at the same time.

However, Whitebeard's laughter is more depressed and sad, while Blackbeard is truly happy!

When Hawkins was still alive, Blackbeard was still worried about something happening and that the Hawkins Pirates would send someone to rescue him.

did not expect…

Those guys actually sat back and watched their captain die here, without even seeing a shadow of him in the end!

But he had no doubts. After all, this time the Hawkins Pirates had gone too far and recruited nearly [-] bounty prisoners in one go.

I'm afraid that veteran cadres like DeEnte and others have too much to take care of themselves now!

Cocoon yourself!

If it were that simple, why would he let the prisoners of infinite hell kill each other and bring them all to the new world in one go? Wouldn't it be better?

The reason for this is entirely because it is impossible to suppress so many vicious criminals. Too many people will be counterproductive!
