Dawn was not surprised at all by this. It was a joke to talk about fate with a time traveler, wasn't it?
Have you ever seen a novel about traveling to another world, where the plot is that the fate of the traveler can be predicted?
Of course, he had no objection to the [Emperor] Dawn that appeared on the "Now" card. In his opinion, this was the most normal thing.
First of all, it is normal that Basil Hawkins could not predict his past because he was a time traveler, and let alone the future.
Only "past" and "present" are the easiest to predict. After all, these two cards have a great impact on the changes in fate, so it is not surprising that they can be predicted, but this does not reveal any information.
It feels like throwing out scraps to deal with the situation.
"It's you." Basil Hawkins said in a daze when he saw the result of the divination.
"Your fate is shrouded in fog. I can't see it. I'm sorry."
Basil Hawkins was suddenly enlightened when he saw the result at this moment. He also knew why the previous divination and the divination for Sora were blank.
It’s not because they can’t tell fortunes, but because there is Dawn, a man whose fate is shrouded in fog, so people and matters that are more or less related to him will be blocked.
Dawn shrugged to indicate that it was okay, and at this moment Major General Yak finally came back.
When Major General Yak heard about the encounter with sand bandits here, he left the supplies behind and asked the marines he brought with him to guard them while he rushed here alone.
I was secretly anxious when I heard the sound of fighting disappear, because it meant the end of the battle.
However, when Jack rushed over, he was relieved when he saw the situation.
Because Dawn and his companions were leisurely counting the spoils.
Afterwards, Dawn and others gave Major General Yak a brief account of what had happened before, and also described the story of Basil Hawkins.
This made Major General Yak look at Basil Hawkins a few more times. He didn't expect to meet a devil fruit user.
But I wasn't too surprised. After all, there are lucky people in the world who accidentally eat devil fruits all the time. There are many Basil Hawkins, and one less would not be a big deal.
Dawn also invited Basil Hawkins in front of Major General Yak, hoping that he could join the navy. Major General Yak looked at Dawn and tacitly approved of Dawn's behavior.
It is also normal to recruit fresh blood for the navy, and they are fruit ability users, which means their innate starting point is far superior to that of ordinary people.
Moreover, Basil Hawkins is not too old and is suitable to be trained as the backbone of the headquarters. In addition, Dawn and others have just saved his life, so there is a great chance that he will join.
However, Basil Hawkins' actions were beyond Dawn's expectations.
I thought Basil Hawkins would refuse, but in response to Dawn's invitation, he asked to make a decision after sailing together.
Major General Yak didn't care about this and readily agreed.
However, this did make Dawn, who had always wanted to kidnap Basil Hawkins but had no good way to do it, become interested.
After all, the fact that he didn't refuse at this moment means that he is still considering it. Since he is considering it, it proves that there is a chance to pull him over. I guess Major General Yak agreed because of this idea at the time.
You're already on the boat, and you still want to jump off? That's impossible!
After all, jumping off a ship in the middle of the ocean is physically like seeking death. (Laughs)
And with so much time, Dawn believed he could convince Basil Hawkins to join.
After collecting the spoils, Dawn and the others prepared to return to the Kingdom of Ishtar with the specialties and supplies they had purchased.
Of course, because of the previous storm problem, Dawn and others will take a completely new route back.
Facing the sunny weather and the warm and humid sea breeze, Dawn and his team purchased supplies and immediately set off.
It is worth mentioning that Basil Hawkins wore Charlinkol's navy uniform because his clothes were soaked in sea water, which made Dawn want to laugh for a moment.
After all, in the previous anime, Basil Hawkins was one of the "supernovas" of the Evil Era, and now he is standing on a navy ship with Dawn and others wearing navy uniforms.
Unfortunately, there was no one to share this laughter with him, so he could only laugh in secret.
-
The chapters about divination may be a bit long-winded, that's because I thought Hawkins had the cursed fruit before, so I directly wrote that he had the ability of divination. Later I was reminded that it was the straw fruit. Then divination is semi-original, so naturally I have to write it more reasonably. Forgive me.
Chapter 69 Karate Island
On the deck, Dawn and Basil Hawkins were fishing.
"Have you made a decision? Do you want to join us?" Dawn would chat with Basil Hawkins after completing his daily training these days, and try to invite him in various ways in an attempt to win him over.
"Not yet. I want to sail with you for a while and then make a decision through divination." Basil Hawkins said slowly. It was hard to imagine that a kid who was only seven years old could be so mature.
But this is how it is in the world of pirates. Orphans and vagrants need to support themselves very early on.
They cheat, deceive, kidnap, defraud and rob as long as they can survive and have enough food. Because of this environment, many little kids mature very early.
Those who were originally wealthy and educated and then became homeless are more outstanding and have more mature thinking.
But there are more idiots, the kind who think they are super awesome once they have some power, and become inflated.
It’s not that they are stupid, it’s just that they have never seen the world.
The warship did not pass through many countries along the route. Major General Yak said that it seemed that this route was very close to the Kingdom of Ishtar, and there was only one country on the route that could be used as a stop for repairs.
However, they encountered quite a few pirates along the way, but they were all a group of cannon fodder. They were not as strong as they seemed and were quite arrogant. The soldiers didn't even need to take action. Dawn and his crew could just kill them directly.
As for the users of fruit abilities, none were seen. It seems that Aokiji should have contributed to this.
Those people who have the ability to go out to sea as pirates must be quite powerful in the North Sea, so Aokiji's main targets are probably these guys.
With their strength, it would be strange if they didn’t “die” if they met the future generals - their lives would be gone, and they would be frozen to death.
As for those who were lucky enough not to encounter it, they were probably scared out of their wits. Those who were a little capable and well-informed had probably already fled to the Grand Line.
It can be said that in the early stage of the Great Pirate Era opened by Roger, although the whole world was in turmoil, the pirates were unable to fight against the navy, and only their huge numbers could make the navy flustered.
After all, Roger died, and Golden Lion went to the Navy Headquarters because of Roger's affairs, and was then sent to Impel Down. Only Whitebeard was left in the New World.
As for "The Lone Red" Red, he is sailing alone on the sea and no one knows his whereabouts to this day.
Later, the "Lone Red" who sails the sea alone will also be imprisoned in the underwater prison. There will be more and more vacant positions on the top throne of the new world, and the new world will become more and more chaotic.
After several battles on the sea, the New World gradually stabilized after "Whitebeard", "Charlotte Linlin", "Kaido of Beasts" and "Red-Haired Shanks" became the Four Emperors.
As for now? A bunch of pirates in the New World are beating their brains out.
Powerful pirates are all fighting for territory in the New World, and the Navy has only sent a small force to monitor the movements together with the CP department.
More high-level naval forces were transferred back to the first half of the Grand Line and the Four Seas to begin suppressing the pirates who were instigated to set sail by Roger's words before his death.
But further intensification of the suppression will only be temporary.
The rampage of the Great Pirate Era cannot be stopped by just this, and the current pirate situation is only a temporary predicament caused by the timely response of the navy.
But the number of pirates going out to sea is too large, and after this period of "severe crackdown", pirates will flood the market again.
For example, in the North Sea, once Aokiji is no longer in charge of the North Sea, the number of pirates will immediately increase, and people will sail to the sea one after another.
After a "gu-raising"-like fight, these pirates will gradually grow stronger.
Only by waiting until this time, perhaps Dawn will have the opportunity to meet some stronger opponents in the North Sea.
After all, the current situation is that "the one who sticks out gets shot down", and Aokiji is the hunter who specifically targets these "ones who stick out".
As for those that the hunters look down upon, most of them are cannon fodder who come out to sail on impulse.
Putting all that aside, Dawn and the others now arrived at the only island they stopped at on the way back to the Kingdom of Ishtar - Karate Island.
After docking on the island, Sora was the most interested, because Major General Yak said that various styles of karate were popular here.
One of the styles is a combination of karate and yoga, which aroused Sora's great interest.
As for the others, they were not very interested in karate. After all, they had the Navy Six Styles, a physical technique that surpassed the limits of human physical fitness, so they did not need karate.
Otherwise, the Navy would have included karate in the scope of learning, and Sora just needed some technical references in order to develop moves that suit him.
However, it is still very nice to go sightseeing on such a special island. Even if it is a town with no special features, if you have been wandering on the sea, you will definitely not just bypass the island when you see it.
Sailing all the way will make people tired. After all, all you can see every day is the sea. Even if it is charming, it is too boring!
Therefore, even if supplies are still sufficient, it is still good to be able to rest on the island.
After Dawn and his group landed on the island, they found that this place was worthy of being named Karate Island, and the martial arts culture was very high.
Adults and children wearing martial arts uniforms can be seen everywhere, and on the streets there are many houses with signs of various schools hanging on them, from which the sounds of apprentices practicing martial arts can be heard constantly.
Most of these houses are made of wood, like the Japanese karate dojo in my previous life. They were quite interesting at first, but after walking around for a few times, I found that most of them were the same and boring.
However, the local specialties deeply attracted Dawn and others.
Perhaps you are wondering why Karate Island sells special foods. This naturally has to do with the characteristics of this island.
As the name suggests, this island has a strong martial arts culture, and most of the people here are apprentices who came from other islands to learn karate, or they are strong people who come here to challenge and exchange ideas.
Among these people, there is one thing in common: they eat a lot, and most people on the island exercise. Basically everyone has some knowledge of karate. This is the tradition of this island.
Every child in every family will learn it, so that they can be able to resist pirates when they come.
Therefore, the huge amount of training has caused the people on this island to eat much more than ordinary people.
Dawn and the others were sitting in a restaurant at the moment. They saw a waiter carrying a plate as wide as a washbasin. When he put the food on the table, they could clearly hear the sound of the heavy plate hitting the table.
For a moment, the super-large portions of food attracted everyone's attention.
Chapter 70 A large portion of delicious food
As a member of the "Foodie Empire" in the previous life, even if you are not a veteran foodie, you will unknowingly raise your requirements for food under the influence of the foodies around you.
Especially after the development of the Internet, when the recipes of various delicacies are widely circulated on the Internet, there is no young person who does not have the attribute of a foodie.
In addition, when Dawn first traveled through time, he was stranded on an island like the Boeing Islands, where delicious food was everywhere, which caused Dawn's requirements for food to increase a lot unconsciously.
When I was at the Navy Headquarters, the chefs there were very skilled. After all, it was the headquarters, and the food they cooked was not only delicious but also nutritious. After all, there were so many chefs working together on it, so how could it not be delicious?
In order to deepen the relationship between his companions in the training camp, Dawn would also cook some dishes from his previous life for them to get together.
Maybe it's because the foodie attribute is contagious, so after such a long time, most of Tira and his group have become foodies.
Karate Island is a relatively stable island in the North Sea. Basically everyone on the island knows how to defend themselves with both hands. If they encounter pirates, their first reaction is to run away.
What about Karate Island? When hearing about pirates, the first reaction is how much is the bounty for this guy?
The entire island is so big that there are always people who are confident in their abilities and can make extra money. Over time, pirates no longer come here.
So even though they had just encountered the sand bandits, Major General Yak was very relieved to let them wander around on their own, and he also wrote a letter of introduction to facilitate Sora's visit to the Yoga Gym.
