The Chabaoti Archipelago has been getting more and more lively recently, with people coming and going and the docks full of boats. A large number of wealthy people have suddenly poured in, making the local indigenous people surprised and happy.

There are still two days left until the sky curtain opens. The pirates are pessimistic about the Red Wedding and want to see the Big Mom Pirates make a fool of themselves.

Watching big shots get humiliated and make a fool of themselves under the canopy is something that the people love to talk about and it becomes a topic of conversation in pubs after dinner.

Almost every island was overcrowded, and almost every hotel was full. Pirates without accommodation could only sleep on the floor outside or on boats at the dock.

The public security problem became more prominent. The navy let public security go and took a laissez-faire attitude towards the archipelago, which led to several days of chaos.

All the evil things that humans can think of can be encountered in the archipelago. On the contrary, there are more opportunities than in other places. Opportunities and risks coexist.

Today, the Chabaoti Archipelago is booming, seemingly becoming more and more prosperous and attracting huge amounts of wealth, but few people can see the risks behind it.

There are too many fools and too few smart people in this world. Hawkins is one of the few smart people among the twelve supernovas.

He has been fortune-telling for himself non-stop in the past few days. He is very confident in astrology because he has always relied on this ability to turn misfortune into fortune.

"It's very dangerous! It's still very dangerous. The longer we stay here, the more dangerous it is."

Since most of the coating craftsmen were requisitioned by the navy to build fortifications for the navy headquarters, there were insufficient number of craftsmen to coat the pirate ships.

The master craftsman couldn't even find enough apprentices, and the pirates only relied on their passion to fight, without the skills, so they could only stand by and watch anxiously, unable to help.

The ship coating project of the Hawkins Pirates was delayed again and again, and he couldn't even get a number with extra money, because the master couldn't finish the work even if he worked overtime, and even if he divided the coating craftsmen into two people, it would not be enough.

There were too many ships that needed coating, so they were first queued up according to the amount of money they paid. Then the pirate groups that arrived later became impatient with the queue at the back and chose to queue up according to their strength.

Fights between pirate groups are quite frequent, which makes the people in charge of collecting the bodies very happy, but makes the underworld who are responsible for maintaining law and order very unhappy.

The killing and harming of each other by pirates affects the business environment, destroys the shops of surrounding stores, and displaces some of those who can pay protection fees.

Not every pirate is rich, and it is better to take their lives than to make them pay money. These killers are used to living on the edge of a knife, and most of them are not afraid of death at all.

"Captain, someone is here to see you"

After a younger brother knocked on the door, he reported to his captain that his entire face was covered with bruises and it was obvious that he had suffered inhuman abuse before coming here.

Hawkins frowned. He was just a rookie pirate with a worth of just over 100 million. He was just making up the numbers among the supernovas of pirates. Who would come to trouble him at this moment?

The younger brother stammered and couldn't explain clearly who the visitor was. Hawkins frowned and told himself the future, relying on the power of superstition when in doubt.

"The battle defeat rate is 100%, and the survival probability is 50%. It seems that I really need to meet this person. I can't avoid him with my strength." Hawkins put the divination cards on the table back into his pocket, and followed his younger brother out of the room.

The Hawkins Pirates spent a large amount of money to live in a small hotel. As the boss, they were not stingy with money for their scapegoats, and they gave their companions almost the best treatment.

The magician walked out of the inn. It was already evening outside and there were very few pedestrians on the surrounding streets. It would be extremely dangerous to walk alone in the Sabaody Archipelago in the dark if one did not have the strength.

"Hawkins, become my subordinate. I will treat you with higher courtesy. Join my pirate group."

Although the appearance of the person who was speaking had changed, the once eye-catching red hair was now covered by a thick metal helmet.

The clothes he wears are no longer in heavy metal style. Instead, they are dressed very gentlemanly. Wearing a suitable suit, his whole temperament is highlighted by the atmosphere.

Hawkins blinked in disbelief. Was the other party still the brainless, unruly murderer Kidd?

Why is there such a huge gap between the image on the wanted poster and the real image? The feelings given by the two are completely different.

Hawkins didn't know Kidd before, but they were both regarded as supernovas and there was no difference in their hard power.

Being the captain of your own pirate group and being surrounded by a bunch of kick-ass guys is better than joining Kidd's pirate group and being shorter than Kidd.

To put it more bluntly, who is Kidd? How could he make a supernova bow down to him with just one sentence? If it was Admiral Hawkins, he might consider it.

"Kid, what nonsense are you talking about? At most, I might form an alliance with you, but I won't become your subordinate."

Hawkins was very dissatisfied with Kidd's behavior and attitude. Without saying hello, the red-haired kid beat up his crew members. Although no one was killed, it was undoubtedly a slap in the face of Hawkins' pirate group.

Although he appears to be very tough on the surface, Hawkins has many doubts in his mind. Could it be that his divination is wrong?

Even if Kidd is very strong, it is impossible to have a one-sided situation in the battle with him. What the hell is a 100% defeat?

If Kidd really has such strength, his bounty should be higher and will not stay at around 3 million. Something must have happened in the meantime.

"I am not who I once was. I feel the metal in you."

Kidd raised his hand without further ado, and the next moment Hawkins felt a terrifying suction force, which was the power of the evolved Magnetic Fruit.

Hawkins couldn't even stand on his feet. He flew in front of Kidd in a daze, with the murderer pinching his head.

With surprised eyes, he looked at Kidd's other hand, which was flashing with blue electromagnetic pulses. As long as the other party had murderous intentions, these electromagnetic pulses could easily penetrate the magician's head.

Kidd is no longer the useless guy who could only suck up metal and throw it at people. His understanding of the Magnet-Magnetic Fruit has gone further.

The helmet borrowed from that mysterious shop seemed to make Kidd realize the level of God, and the control of magnetism was more terrifying than he had imagined.

"Hawkins, I can give you another chance, do you want to be my subordinate?"

The five fingers of Kidd's right hand flashed with electromagnetic pulses, which made Hawkins break out in a cold sweat. Even if he had a lot of lives to waste, he couldn't resist the other party grabbing his body.

The day will come when the crew's scapegoats will run out. After swallowing nervously and thinking for a moment, Hawkins still felt that his life was more important. He still wanted to explore his deeper destiny and didn't want to die early.

"Now the Hawkins Pirates are yours. I will be your crew member. Captain, please stop."

With a sincere attitude, Kidd quickly gave in. He did not embarrass Hawkins any more. He still had a lot to discuss with his new little brother.
