"One Piece" Events:
[Sabaody Archipelago, Grove 27, Harbor]
"Run away! Run away!! Kizaru's here!!" "Hey, did you hear me!?" "Even the Shichibukai are on the move!" "Really!? Who is it!!?"
Pirates continued to desperately flee from the clutches of the Admiral and the Shichibukai.
...
[Grove 24]
While some others fought to survive,
"Zeeh... Zeeh...!!"
Another Supernova, Monk Urouge, wielded a large steel column and fought against Bartholomew Kuma, who was supposed to be engaging Kidd and Law at the moment.
"... All this time, I was just looking out for the Admiral...!!"
Urouge was bleeding from his head, indicating the fierceness of the battle he faced.
"Looks like it won't be so easy to get away... when I'm right by the Marine Headquarters...!!!"
Kuma: "..."
Sky Island of Birka:
"It seems Urouge is in trouble..."
"This... How?"
"Isn't Bartholomew Kuma currently fighting both the Heart Pirates and Kidd Pirates? So why is the monk also fighting against Kuma?"
"Weird..."
"Yes, things are getting stranger..."
"Could it be that Law and Kidd were perhaps defeated so quickly?"
"That's unlikely... Maybe they managed to escape his grip somehow."
"Not that or this... Look here, they are still fighting the same Kuma that Urouge-sama is fighting."
Urouge paid no attention to the rumors swirling around him, focusing entirely on his own battle scene.
"Hehe~ It seems I'm struggling... Shichibukai, huh? Interesting."
...
Sorbet Kingdom, South Blue:
"Really strange..."
"What's so strange about it? I've already said that neither this nor that is me..." Kuma stated expressionlessly.
"Dad... So what could it be? He has the same body as yours..."
"What's bothering you, Bonney?"
"It's Vegapunk again, isn't it? Right?"
This time, Dragon was decisive, directly linking the matter to Vegapunk.
"Most likely..." Kuma calmly replied.
"Despite the current Vegapunk being a complete ally of ours, in the manga, Vegapunk isn't... He still serves the World Government's interests."
"So, it wouldn't be difficult for him to create multiple copies of someone he has already turned into a cyborg..."
When Dragon said this, both Bonney and Crocodile were taken aback.
"Please... Please, Your Highness... My back is hurting... Return me to my normal state..."
Ivankov still pleaded with Bonney to restore the jewels of his youth.
...
"... 'Combat,' probability of defeat... 100%."
"... 'Escape,' probability of success... 12%."
Basil Hawkins was looking from one card to another, calculating the outcome of each move, while Kizaru continued to approach him.
"... 'Defense,' probability of evasion... 76%."
"If you have a minute... I'm looking for a man named 'Sentoumaru'..."
Kizaru stood before the seated Hawkins, appearing tall like an observation tower. His question about Sentoumaru seemed casual.
"... 'Survival,' probability of death... 0%."
Upon realizing this result, Hawkins finally responded:
"I don't know that man. Ask someone else..."
"Well, you know... I can't find him. Oh... then I've got all this time..."
"And you know, I can't just leave a head like yours lying around. Basil Hawkins...!!"
Kizaru continued:
"Speed is... 'Weight.'... Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?"
His glowing foot had already reached Hawkins' head before he finished speaking and sent him flying... This was indeed a deadly blow.
"Captain!!!"
Returning to Yellow Stone Island, the readers here were in a state of awe at the Admiral's tremendous power.
"Oh, my God! What is this speed!"
"Did he say the speed of light!?"
"Speed of light!? Wha-"
"Do you know what speed of light means... oh man... Is it as fast as light!?"
"Is this the power of Admiral Kizaru!?"
"He's as strong as a legendary hunter in the Hunters Guild!"
"No, you fool... He's as strong as the top three ranks in the Hunters Guild!"
Archa-san's heart trembled as she saw Hawkins kicked in the head at the speed of light...
"Don't worry... The probability of death is 0%... My counterpart in the manga won't die."
"Look at this... This is the power I've never wanted to reveal..."
"Sigh~ Now everyone can easily figure it out."
Little Hawkins could only let out a sigh after witnessing the next scene.
[Grove 27, Harbor]
"GYAAAHH!!!" Someone screamed as their head exploded, blood splattering, and they fell lifeless without warning.
"Eh! Hey, what's wrong!!?"
"Hey!!! What happened!!?"
"Blood just came flying out of his head all of a sudden!!!"
The crowd was shocked by this bizarre scene... After all, this pirate died without any apparent reason.
This particular scene perplexed all readers; however, astute individuals managed to link this situation with Basil Hawkins' unique abilities.
Indeed, he cannot be bestowed the title of a magician without valid grounds.
"Did this ability essentially allow you to transfer your injuries to another person?" questioned his elder sister, her expression marked with puzzlement.
"Exactly... the most prominent attributes of the Wara Wara no Mi involve Life Minus... I possess the capacity to extract the life force of individuals, transforming them into a Straw man within my own being. Consequently, any harm befell upon me gets redirected to the Straw man, even if the inflicted damage would typically result in a fatality... only the possessor of the Straw man's life will meet their demise, not myself."
Hawkins exhibited no concern if others happened to eavesdrop; after all, these revelations were bound to surface in the upcoming chapters... he bore a rather understanding demeanor.
