What Ian didn't know was that just as he was performing a combo on Hawkins, several bizarre deaths happened one after another in the Kingdom of Lubney near the sea!
And these dead, without exception, are all tyrannical pirates.
One of them was drinking wine in the tavern, but four deep knife marks suddenly appeared on his waist at the same time, two on the left and right sides, and blood was spraying out.
Before his companion could realize what was going on, the pirate suddenly flew up from the chair he was sitting on, and his whole body was cut in half from the middle...
But the death of the other deceased was different. This pirate was fighting with people, but suddenly purple flames appeared on his body, and his whole body turned into a scorched black piece, and he was burned to death. , but frightened his opponent, thinking that he had encountered the legendary spontaneous combustion phenomenon...
There are many similar deaths. Some of them suddenly fell down with countless stab wounds on their bodies, and their whole bodies were still trembling. There was a mass of purple flames, and a large hole suddenly appeared on the chest. The opening of the hole was extremely neat, but it seemed to have been burned by high temperature. In the end, there were several people who suddenly burst out with astonishing electric light, and then turned into coke and fell down.
And these pirates who died strangely, although they seem to have no connection, but if you look carefully, they all have encountered the Hawkins Pirates...
This is where Hawkins's ability is powerful. As long as the number of substitutes he pre-set is sufficient, no matter what kind of damage he encounters, it will be transferred to the substitute, thus causing such a bizarre death event. People with his abilities might really think that he is immortal.
This kind of ability is actually quite easy to cause fear. When Hawkins was fighting other pirates, the other party couldn't kill him no matter what. In the end, he was killed by him because of panic. As the pirates Hawkins killed became more and more powerful. As more and more people came, his reputation grew like this.
However, just like many devil fruit users rely too much on their own abilities, Hawkins' other combat abilities seem to be not very good. After transforming into a scarecrow, his attacks are also straightforward, and he is easily restrained by the flames.
Moreover, those who don't know how to use domineering, such a pure devil fruit ability user, may still be able to get along in the first half of the great route, but it becomes more difficult as it goes to the back.
So, what Hawkins feels to Ian now is just a good meat shield, and this is what Ian thinks of him.
And obviously, Ian is now facing Hawkins, who is at the level of crushing. Ian's random move may cause fatal damage to him, but Hawkins has nothing to do with Ian.
The members of the Hawkins Pirates looked at Ian's expression at this time, as if they were looking at the Great Demon King. On this day, they remembered their captain's fear of being dominated by the Great Demon King...
After Ian spoke, they hurriedly jumped into the sea to rescue their captain, but those who remained on board were like quails, crouching on the deck with their heads in their arms, not daring to move.
Their only thought now is that it is easy to talk about requisitioning ships and so on, so don't focus on us!
Hawkins was quickly caught. As Ian thought, he was indeed not dead. After boarding the boat, several substitute puppets crawled out of his scarecrow body, either burnt or burnt. After being cut off, these stand-in puppets crawled out of the cracks in the straw of his arm, and after falling to the ground, they remained motionless.
Ian was amazed at this scene, because he felt that those substitute puppets seemed to be alive. There are so many black sciences in this world.
Hawkins's Demonic Aspect was put away, and he turned back into the tall handsome guy with blond hair. He still had the expressionless dead fish eyes, but he said, "I know who you are now! You are That new Shichibukai, right?"
"Oh? You know me?" Ian said.
"How could someone like you come to Beihai?" Hawkins said with some lingering fear.
Although he survived in Ian's hands with the help of his own ability, Ian's attack just now directly caused him to lose several substitutes. It will be activated automatically when there is damage, that is to say, almost every attack Ian made on him just now will cause Hawkins to be severely injured!
This is the first time Hawkins has encountered such a tyrannical strength, so now in retrospect, he still feels terrible.
"Is this Qiwuhai's level of strength?" Hawkins thought, but also curious why Ian appeared here.
You must know that almost all the members of the Shichibuhai recruited by the world government stayed on the great route, and rarely came to other oceans. Hawkins didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky.
"It has nothing to do with you!" Of course, Ian couldn't tell Hawkins what he was doing, but said: "It's okay to requisition your ship now, right?"
Hawkins stroked his chest, bent down and said, "I am willing to help you!"
Although Hawkins is actually older, this is how the world is. A powerful person will always make people ignore the issue of age. Hawkins has softened in front of Ian, so it is natural to say such words.
In fact, it wasn't until he had seen Ian's power that he finally understood what was going on with the odds mentioned in the divination. He knew very well that Ian was definitely capable of killing him, as long as such attacks continued , completely wiped out Hawkins' stand-in puppets, then Hawkins would have to use his body to bear the damage, and at that time, Hawkins would die.
Therefore, this so-called one thought actually refers to whether Yi An is willing to stop...
Now that Hawkins recognized him, Ian didn't care so much. He took out his hat from his trouser pocket, put it on his head, and looked around, and saw a Hawkins pirate The pirate queen pointed at him and said, "You! Yes, it's you! Wash your clothes and bring them to me!"
The hat can be stuffed in the trouser pocket, but the clothes can't. Ian's clothes are gone, but fortunately, he saw that the pirate was wearing the same windbreaker as he used to, so he immediately asked for it.
The pirate who was named by Ian trembled at the beginning, and almost peed out of fear. After hearing that Ian only wanted his clothes, he was relieved, and hurriedly ran to wash the clothes.
He was so ruthless in his heart that he had to wash the clothes several times until they had no smell at all before he dared to present them.
After finishing the clothes, Ian asked Hawkins, "Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry!"
Of course Hawkins dared not say no, so he asked someone to bring food to Ian. Ian ate the food and expressed his opinion: "It's not as delicious as the chef in my group. I suggest you change the chef!"
As a result, as soon as the words came out, the chef who was hiding in the cabin and eavesdropping was paralyzed with fright...
Fortunately, Ian is not that kind of tyrannical person, he just said it casually.
Seeing Ian eating the food without any scruples, Hawkins sat down and said strangely: "Are you so relieved? Are you afraid of poison in the food?"
Ian raised his head, squinted his eyes and smiled at him: "Believe me, if poison is poisoned in the food, you will definitely be the ones who are unlucky! Before the poison is released, your entire pirate group will be killed!"
Hawkins didn't dare to dwell on this issue, and said, "Are you going to Upside Down Mountain? Let me tell you first, if the weather permits, it will take at least fifteen days from here to Upside Down Mountain."
"Well, it's okay, I'm not in a hurry!" Ian nodded.
After a few simple exchanges, Hawkins also discovered that Ian, the Qibukai, was not as difficult to get along with as he imagined, so he asked carefully: "You are from the great route, so you can tell us about the great route. something?"
Ian glanced at him and said with a smile, "What? Want to go to the great route?"
Hawkins didn't speak, just looked at Ian like this.
"It's actually quite simple to go to the great route!" Ian said, "Would you consider joining my pirate group? If that's the case, then I can take you directly to the new world..."
