The Black Duke of the Pirate

He still didn't understand the purpose of Hawkins's travels. Even in the original work, this guy's identity and true purpose were never known. It can be said that he has been very mysterious since his appearance. In addition, Straw

The fruit's ability and later joining the Kaido Pirates make people feel that this guy's purpose is extraordinary.

Seeing that Hawkins still didn't answer, Reinhardt looked at him and then continued: "Instead of continuing to walk aimlessly, why not stay in the North Sea with me, slowly accumulate strength, wait for the right time, and do something

The driving force of the times..."

"The driving force of the times..." Hawkins was a little surprised. He cast his gaze on Reinhardt across from him again and found that this old friend always had a vague and oppressive aura. This kind of aura was not unfamiliar to him.

Because I once felt it from a strong man, and it was a kind of domineering that was revealed in his bones.

"Are you interested?"

"Is this your ambition?" Hawkins' eyes twitched, "Build up strength and then wait for the coming era?"

Reinhardt smiled and shook his head: "This will be the goal I will eventually achieve. It should be called a plan."

Hawkins felt his heart beat a little faster. This guy's ambition was really big, but he didn't know what the specific purpose was. Is it to conquer the new world?

Thinking of this, Hawkins took out a stack of cards from his arms and stared at Reinhardt with all his concentration.

"What are you doing?" Reinhardt was a little surprised after seeing a stack of scarecrow cards in his hand. Did he finally see Hawkins draw a card?

This guy always has a "badass" expression every day, maybe just to prevent others from seeing through his inner thoughts.

Hawkins did not answer, but said to himself: "Then let me see what kind of future you have in your plan."

A stack of cards floated in the air, and then began to rotate from slow to fast. Hawkins looked at the rotating cards calmly, but what he was thinking about was what kind of person his old friend Reinhardt had grown into.

He is a very talented person, and whether his ability and wisdom can support his seemingly huge ambition.

Looking at the rotating cards and the shapes of the cards, Reinhardt smiled and said: "A very interesting ability, very similar to your personality."

Reinhardt naturally knew what these things were. Divination methods that could avoid good and bad fortunes were closely related to the astrology. In his previous life, this was called Tarot cards, which were known as "the secret library of nature". From the West

It started to become popular, but he had only heard of Tarot cards and didn't understand them at all. Naturally, he didn't understand how to use the cards to predict. However, the cards in Hawkins' hands were just renamed, called Scarecrow cards.

It can turn into a giant scarecrow to attack enemies, use scarecrow cards to predict good or bad luck and judge the situation, and it can divert damage and gain multiple lives. It is really a powerful devil fruit.

"This is a straw fruit. It can divert damage, turn into a scarecrow to attack the enemy, and draw scarecrow cards anytime and anywhere." Hawkins rarely showed a smile, "Drawing different cards has different meanings. Drawing cards in battle has the same effect.

Being able to gain different abilities.”

"Interesting, haha, interesting." Reinhardt laughed.

"I searched for a long time and finally found it in an underground auction house in the West Sea. You know, I have always liked divination." Hawkins continued.

"So you went to the West Sea just for this devil fruit?" Reinhardt didn't expect that this guy went to the West Sea for this purpose.

"The straw fruit is worth a trip in person." Hawkins nodded, but he didn't hide anything.

"The best Devil Fruit is the one that suits you." Reinhardt replied, "This Devil Fruit is a bit complicated, but with your mind that likes to delve into weird things, it should be the most suitable."

Hawkins nodded, but then he suddenly remembered the weird blue lights he had seen in Clock Harbor before, so he asked again: "The blue lights emitted from those towers before were your Devil Fruit abilities?"

"Clock." Reinhardt stretched out the back of his left hand, and Hawkins saw a simple clock pattern.

"The Clock Fruit... No wonder those are clock towers. It turns out that the Clock Fruit's abilities can be developed like this." Hawkins shook his head, a little unbelievable. He was very surprised. He could feel that the Clock Fruit was just an ordinary superman.

If it is a Devil Fruit, it may not be possible for anyone to develop this ability, but in the hands of Reinhardt, it can actually display such a powerful ability.

Originally, Hawkins thought that if he ate the straw fruit this time, he would be able to defeat Reinhardt if he fought with him. However, after the previous battle with just one move, he found that Reinhardt's strength was bottomless. Maybe this

I will never be able to catch up for the rest of my life.

"Those clock towers are just external extensions that I made by using the fruit ability. It doesn't matter whether they have or not. Moreover, the clock tower cannot attack independently and must be controlled by me personally. Once I leave the clock port too far away, the clock fruit will

The ability to operate cannot affect it."

Reinhard had been considering this problem for a long time. If these clocks would not be able to run and attack when he left Katan Island, they would be of no use other than to watch the scenery.

However, it is currently not possible to control it too far away from the clock tower. This is what he expected when he was building the clock tower. The clock tower successfully resonated with the clock fruit, which at least made him more certain that once

If the Clock Fruit's ability is developed to its limit, the coverage area of ​​the Clock Tower may reach the entire Katan Island. Even if it leaves the North Sea, the Clock Tower will still be able to issue daylight attacks independently when attacked by enemies.

He wants to build the entire Katan Island into a fort that can defend itself against enemies. In the future, even if the World Government wants to send troops to the North Sea for crusade, it must consider whether it can bear such a heavy price of soldier death.

At this time, Reinhardt changed the topic: "Are you really not considering it?"

He was still unwilling to give up and wanted to invite Hawkins to join him.

"You don't have a clear goal now, so why not just work with me."

"No need to persuade me." Hawkins shook his head, "We are friends, and I don't want to lie to you, because I plan to go to sea and go to the Grand Line after traveling for a few years."

Reinhardt has invited future generations more than once, the eleven super star members of the Evil Generation, the first being

, but all the answers I got were rejection.

On the one hand, because his current strength is still too weak, he is not very attractive to these lofty-minded guys. On the other hand, because these people are the leaders of the era, even if they want to join others, they will join powerful ones.

Team, join Reinhardt and start from scratch? This is obviously unlikely.
