(With this revision, the length of the book has been reduced to about 300,000.) Don't worry, I'll work hard to write next, it shouldn't be broken, Kaido, it's definitely going to be over! )

On the Sea King, Nick looked unhappy. Akainu asked a few perfunctory words, and when he returned to the room, he collapsed on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling. Hawkins pulls up a group of younger brothers, and then makes waves at sea in his mind.

"Damn." Nick frowned, rolled over and got up to take out the sea map, if only he could guess where Hawkins was running, just.

There are three nearby islands, and there is not a single clue, except for luck, otherwise it is extremely difficult to run into Hawkins again.

In Nick's drowsy moment, Akainu escorted Vegapunk back, and Nick forcibly cheered up to bid farewell to Dr. Vegapunk, during which he avoided Akainu, and he really felt that he had no face to see him.

It wasn't until the next day that Nick recovered after a good night's sleep. After taking care of some trivial matters and saying hello to the bounty hunters, with Pete and his girlfriend waving goodbye, the Sea King sailed away from Gran Island and headed for the nearby island of Pross.

Due to its geographical location, the economy of GLP is much more prosperous than that of Grand Island, but it is precisely because it is on a route to the Chambord Islands, the end of the first half of the Great Voyage, that most of the pirates heading to the New World will pass through here, and safety is in question.

Hawkins wants to form a new group of pirates, and GLP is undoubtedly a good place to choose people.

Mainly because GLP is valued by the Navy, there is a naval base on the island, where a rear admiral is stationed - Monlido. Meng Li will be more or less a Devil Fruit ability, and his glue ability makes many pirates feel tricky, and pirates who don't have some strength don't dare to enter the city at all.

The weak pirates have their own powerful pirate groups and bounty hunters to clean up, and Meng Li will guard the city, staring at the pirates with a little strength, balancing the security of the island.

Hawkins has every reason to hide on other islands at this stage, and then go to Pros Island after the rumors have passed, which no one can say, and Nick didn't have much hope this time.

Nick is a member of the Einsatzgruppen and serves as an overseer. chose a remote dock to anchor the Sea King ship and quietly landed. First, it is convenient to find people, and secondly, it is not prepared for Monlido, so that the surprise inspection can see the real state. Nick gave the soldiers a day off and let them go to the island to play and see the security.

And Nick, Rowan, and Thea began to purposefully investigate the taverns and high-end clubs in the city. Most of the rich and powerful pirates love to go to these two places, and Nick didn't let go of any of them, checking them one by one.

Naturally, Flore was not happy to do this work, so she went to play alone.

There are definitely pirates on GLP, but no pirates would write pirates on their faces. With intuition, Nick and his party found at least three waves of pirates, and they were in a hurry to prepare a bounty order, and Nick had no way to take them.

Fortunately, his purpose was not to catch these little pirates.

After a busy day, Nick was sure that he wouldn't be able to touch Hawkins this time. I can only think about food.

When it got dark, Nick and the three of them found a restaurant at random, and the hot pot started.

Eating was refreshing, a noisy sound came, due to all kinds of swear words, yellow jokes, Nick guessed that a team of thugs was tired of playing and ready to go home.

"Whew. The hot pot in this house smells really fragrant, small people, eat a little hot pot as a base first, and then play slowly later. Listening to a heroic voice, a tall man with a group of people flocked into the hot pot restaurant.

This team of people is all fierce, Nick noticed that most of them have calluses in their mouths, they must be operating all year round, looking at their posture and clothing, they are undoubtedly bandits. Because he was afraid that the snake would scare away Hawkins, who might be hiding in the city, he was not prepared to trouble them, so he was arrogant.

This group of thieves was bold, and after a reckless meal of eating and drinking, they began to brag about the mountains, and Nick was tired of a day, and they all had a great appetite, and they ate for a long time, but they didn't mean to eavesdrop on something.

But inadvertently, someone from the group of thieves lowered his voice and said, "Boss, it's almost time to eat, should we go to see that Hawkins first or go to cool off first." ”

"That Hawkins is going to recruit a crew member at this moment, and I think it's because his Hawkins Pirates have been hit hard and fallen apart. If we go earlier, maybe we can mix up with the cadres, which is also very good. A drunken voice rang out.

"But, boss, I don't think it's okay to send people under the fence."

"So what. The Hawkins bounty is as high as 180 million, follow him, we can go further, and when our strength is tempered, we can leave. The sea is so wide, what else can he do with us? ”

"Haha, Boss Gaojian."

The pirates laughed, and Nick turned to look at the hot pot restaurant owner and the waiter, they looked at each other, as if the words of this group of pirates were all in their ears, and their faces did not change, so they were not calm.

Nick also understands that everyone turns a blind eye to the well water and does not interfere with the river water.

Except, of course, Nick: They. As soon as he heard the word Hawkins, he immediately became interested in this group of pirates. Fortunately, I didn't do it before, otherwise I wouldn't have heard such news at this moment, and I would have been unhappy with the retribution.

Since Hawkins is on this island, he must not be allowed to escape this time!

The three of Nick ate and drank quietly. When the group of pirates finished eating, they also paid the bill and quietly followed.

The group of pirates had limited strength, and after drinking some wine, their vigilance was greatly reduced, and it was impossible to find that Nick and a few people were following them, and a group of people were giggling and shuttling through the streets.

Following this group of pirates, Nick and the three of them came to a large theater, and seeing that those pirates had not come out for a long time after entering, Nick knew that they must be here to see Hawkins, so he quickly took out the phone bug and informed the general of Monli, who was guarding the island of Pros, to bring troops to support.

Nick three of them, unable to guard four directions, fortunately, there are only two entrances and exits of the theater, Rowan and Xiya each guard one, and Nick jumps on the top of the theater alone to try to find out some information.

Pushing open a skylight, Nick climbed into the theater and crouched on the roof truss.

The viewing seats in the huge theater below were very empty, and there were about six or seven hundred people seated, but at this moment there were only thirty or so people sitting, and these thirty or so people were divided into two groups, and they did not speak much, and even looked at each other, and their faces were still gloomy.

Hawkins, who wanted to see it the most, didn't see it, and Nick didn't bother to be here, so he moved his position lightly and headed backstage.

The top of the backstage was the ceiling, and Nick gently lifted the ceiling by a line.

I saw three people sitting below, and there was the tall man just now, one of whom looked calm, but it was not Hawkins.

At this time, Meng Li has not yet arrived, and Nick naturally does not startle the snake, does not move, and listens carefully to what these people say.

Hawkins smiled: "If you want to join my Hawkins Pirates, your strength must not be weak, I want to try the strength of the two." ”

"It's natural, but what about Lord Hawkins, why do you want the two of us to fight you one by one? It's inseparable here, go out to fight? One asked, his eyes filled with war, and he felt like he didn't take Hawkins seriously.

Hawkins smiled: "No, no, no, I will fight two people together, and I don't need you to do anything, as long as you can take my three moves alone, this strength is enough." ”

When the two pirates heard this, their faces sank, and one of them shouted, "Let's start then." ”

Before the words fell, the two picked up their weapons and rushed towards Hawkins. Hawkins asked them to only take three moves from him, they were unhappy, and there were three moves horizontally and vertically, so it was better for you Hawkins to pick up their three killing moves.

Nick watched silently.

The two pirates pounced, but Hawkins's figure flashed and came here, and in an instant he transformed, and slapped his palms over.

When the two pirates saw that Hawkins was so fast, they were already convinced, so they greeted Hawkins's three moves, and although they struggled to receive them, they both took them.

Hawkins was overjoyed, hurriedly stepped forward, and said with a smile: "From now on, you will be the cadres of my Hawkins Pirates." It's still early, and when tonight is over, we'll have a feast to celebrate. ”
