Chapter 375 - Escape From Death!
Chapter 375 - Escape From Death!
"No, we are going to stay, although we can't stop this war, there are still innocent people here who need to be protected. If Luffy was still awake he would have done it, so we are kind of carrying out the captain's will."
Will looked at them with some surprise, and even Usopp, who was trembling all over with fear, didn't raise any objection.
Like-minded fellows?
It's easy to say, but you don't know how much weight the words 'like-mindedness' carry until you actually do it and look for it!
"As you wish, but don't try to go near the centermost battlefield, it's not a battle you can interfere with now."
"By the way, if you meet my people halfway, show them this gold coin, they will provide as much help as they can without affecting the mission, as a way to support your will."
As he spoke, Will activated a gold coin with the Soul Fruit and tossed it to Zoro.
The battle had reached this point, it was no longer possible to stop when you wanted to, otherwise, how could you do justice to those who had died in the war?
So even if he does sink the island, he'll find a way to kill that bastard Kaido before he makes any more sacrifices!
It was the only thing he could do!
Without saying a word, Zoro took the strange talking coin and pinned mother and daughter under his armpit again, for which Sanji, who was one step behind, almost had a real fight with him!
Everyone has their own path to choose, and kindness, the inability to ignore innocent people dying in front of their eyes, is perhaps the greatest weakness of the Straw Hat Pirates, as well as their most admirable flashpoint!
Hawkins, who has remained silent, has been pretending to be part of the straw hats during this period. He didn't think that such a big shot as 'Faceless' Will would deliberately remember his face, and even if he was unlucky that he was recognized, he would be fine as long as his identity that he had joined Kaido wasn't exposed.
What's more, he had risked his life to save the Straw Hat Pirates mascot for what?
Isn't it just to get them to 'shut up'!
However, when he saved Chopper with his ability just now, he had actually revealed his identity, or else he could have been fooled.
So when Hawkins pretended to be calm and was about to walk away from Will, Will suddenly put his right hand on his shoulder.
In just an instant, he lost all his strength and even the ability that had always made him so proud of himself completely disappeared!
Sea Stone!
There is sea stone in this gold gauntlet!
The divination showed that his only chance of survival was to stay close to the Straw Hat Pirates, which was the only thing that could not be wrong, and he had to trust that!
"Wait a minute! Help me!"
Chopped, who was following him, almost subconsciously exclaimed, "Ah!"
For a moment, everyone looked at the place.
"Basil Hawkins? If I remember correctly, you've joined Kaido, right?"
Hawkins' last shred of luck is gone!
He doesn't know how he was exposed, but there's no point in thinking about it at this point, he has to find a way to survive!
So he immediately forced himself to calm down, and then said: "I did join Kaido, but that's already in the past, just recently in a divination, I have already separated from the Hundred Beasts Pirates, and now I am a pirate who yearns for freedom, and many people can testify to this."
After saying that Hawkins looked first at Chopper, who nodded hesitantly under the earnest gaze of his saviour.
He didn't really know if the other man had broken away from Kaido, but he knew that if that identity was confirmed, then Hawkins would be dead!
He couldn't do that.
When Chopped nodded his head, Hawkins felt relieved, satisfied with himself for what he had left behind, and then immediately looked around.
In the end, even Zoro and Sanji, who had treated him most badly before, remained in a state of acquiescence, not trying to expose his unprovable lie.
In fact, it is not exactly a lie, because Hawkins is indeed ready to leave the Hundred Beasts Pirate Group, but just not yet in time.
Will took in the expressions of the people and probably guessed the relationship between them, so it's not that he can't be killed by force, it's just that there's no need.
Let him live for a while longer first.
"So that's how it is, interesting..."
Will withdrew his right hand and counted the time, Orochi and Ashura Doji might not be able to hold it anymore.
So he directly transformed into lightning and flew up into the sky, heading towards the battlefield that belonged to him!
As soon as Will left, the others all breathed a big sigh of relief, none other than because the oppressive feeling he brought was too heavy for them to bear.
Especially the moment he grabbed Hawkins, it seemed that the air around him dropped several degrees, giving people goosebumps!
"So scary... Finally gone." Usopp sat down on his butt in a very unimpressive manner.
Then there was a poof!
Hawkins spurted out a large mouthful of blood, and a small scarecrow fell out of his body, then slowly disintegrated as it fell, leaving only a little residue on the ground.
Some unlucky guy on a ship on the ocean suddenly shattered all over and died!
The look of extreme dread still remains on Hawkins' face, and if he hadn't stayed with the Straw Hat, he would have been dead!
Now he's pretty sure that the other guy has a death wish for him, and it's largely not because of Kaido, but probably because of his devil fruit!
What to do?
"Hey, are you okay? Why did you suddenly vomit blood? Did you just get hurt?"
"No, I'm fine, let's get out of here." After secretly counting the number of 'double straws' in his body, Hawkins' face immediately turned serious.
Chopper also wanted to check him out, but he refused to do so.
"The fatal crisis should be over by now, right? Are you still going to follow us?" At this time, Zoro, who had a very keen intuition, suddenly spoke up and asked.
Although this guy had saved Chopper, they had just returned the favour, otherwise, he would have been a dead man at the moment.
It's never completely reassuring to have such a dangerous guy with unknown intentions around.
"No, the danger is still there, and the deal won't be done until we leave the Country of Wano."
However, at this moment, Hawkins had already made up his mind to stay with the Straw Hat gang until he was completely safe.
Shame? Is it edible?
