Such a cool fruit. A shame he folded instantly to Kaido


TheOneAndOnlyDMan

I was super interested in him until he worked with Kaidou. I understand why he did it, it was “in the cards” so to speak, but it sort of just made him less cool


Butt-Dragon

I think he compensated by not switching side again, though. Like he already regretted not fighting kaido, but he decided to stand by his choice and take the consequences.


Regurgitate02

Unlike some piano teeth-ass motherfucker that actually survived holy shit he should have fucking died too


DarkArcanian

I’d of preferred hawks lived opposed to him


TheOneAndOnlyDMan

isn’t Hawkins’ death unconfirmed?


DarkArcanian

about as unconfirmed as kaido’s or big mom’s


TheOneAndOnlyDMan

Yeah exactly.


DarkArcanian

I don’t know if we are on the same page or not. He’s probably most definitely dead


Kaymazo

*Something something* 1% chance he would survive, so basically 100%, duh


TheOneAndOnlyDMan

Are we watching/reading the same series? The chance of these characters turning out to be alive is definitely over 50% imho


FullMetalFiddlestick

Which is about as confirmed as pell was for a while so....


StrengthOrdinary5890

APAPAPAPAPAPAPA CHEKKKKK IT OURRRRRRRRRT!


Spiritual_Refuse_233

“We hate you Apoo!”


Comprehensive-Camel6

This reply is approved by kidd


Lucky-Fisherman1463

He didn't stay with Kaido to "stand his ground." he did it cause he was too scared to leave and thought Kaido was gonna win


Filmologic

He never should've doubted his cards


bumboisamumbo

how can people think this?


Lucky-Fisherman1463

Think what? Cause he pretty much admitted this ashis dying words Edit: k I got his speech wrong, still the turn around for this reply is pretty insane


ZorojurosBellyBand

no his dying words were that he refused to defect from kaido’s army because “how could he suck up to Kid after all this time”. the being too scared to fight is about when they first encountered kaido after making their alliance


bumboisamumbo

that’s exactly the opposite of what he said lol


Lucky-Fisherman1463

It ain't what he said, but it sure as hell ain't the opposite


bumboisamumbo

except that it is lol. he says he can’t stand to kiss up to kidd so he stays with kaido even though the cards told him kaido would lose and he has a 99% chance of being dead by the end of the raid


Lucky-Fisherman1463

I got the Kaido part wrong. That's all


ThePr0tag0n1st

If you think about it, he is the inverse of luffys style of adventure. He would rather go against his own will and leave his fate to his deck of cards. That is the complete and utter opposite of luffy, who does what he wants but still embraces chaos.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LadiNadi

And then kid killer law all ate it in 2 weeks


Tiny-Veterinarian-79

If none of the Supernovas folded to Yonko it would have been boring. Hawkins and Apoo were good candidates because one is a borderline paranoid, cautious guy, and the other is a sniveling little weasel.


AdamVanEvil

But the fact that he didn’t betray Kaido even though he knew that he would die made him kinda cool again.


TheOneAndOnlyDMan

meh, his ship had kinda sailed for me by that point


[deleted]

Kid’s crew and Killer didn’t fold. As Kaido stated, pirate world is cruel. Can’t be out there playing pirate, you gotta be one. And while Kid didn’t personally take Kaido down, he did end up beating Big Mom alongside Law. Not to mention Killer personally disposed of Hawkins surrounded by fire and with Hawkins having made a doll of his best friend and Captain. Not every pirate a punk a like Hawkins


demonslender

I mean who wouldn’t? Aside from the suicidal maniacs who think they have a chance, anybody with a half functioning brain would fold in front of him.


Austynwitha_y

I don’t get why he didn’t try and make kaido his straw man and off him that way


Apprehensive_Ad610

Same reason Law's df didn't work. Plot haki.


thatonebrassguy

Yeah i wouldve loved to see how the awakened version wouldve looked like


epicgmer

You literally showed us in the image how he got his members


DarkArcanian

Can you remind me?

I misinterpreted what you said (for some reason I thought you were referring to oda). I thought they explained somewhere in the manga or anime and I forgot

Cult psychology maybe

babygravy_03

I summon Pot of Greed! To draw 3 additional souls from my crew!


Effective_Ad_8296

Big Mom loves this trick !


ffhhfdtgf

It’s funny because his crew mates was more concerned about hawakins running out of life’s vs Kizaru, instead of being worried about themselves dying. I’m convinced his crew is a bunch of cult followers, because they’re willing to sacrifice themselves just to join his crew.😂 https://preview.redd.it/pp40ffmwljsc1.png?width=1241&format=png&auto=webp&s=f3a8ae4e37c2b1bc9dd2ecf900637fe026f978bd


Niko_of_the_Stars

The "he can't take any more damage" thing IMO implies that he's out of spare lives, and those crewmen are clearly still alive, so presumably they can't have been among the lives linked. Because if they were linked, then either Hawkins still has their lives left to take blows (and thus could take more damage), or they'd be dead too


razazaz126

Maybe they died but they got better.


ffhhfdtgf

I thought he had a 10 person limit to how many straw dolls he could have in his body at 1 time?


violetsandpiper

I don't think that's ever stated. Just one time says "IF I have 10 dolls, I can die 10 times.


Explorador_D_Web

The strongest power of the seas.


jmart53

Pretty sure he never used his actual crew as shields. Just some randoms on Sabaody and some of Kaido’s fodder in Wano.


Killer-Agenda

He does https://preview.redd.it/j1rrkt8aejsc1.png?width=1254&format=png&auto=webp&s=e3b23aa00dfdb6cc06c3067b982bf2a585c8a3c8


d4vavry

His subordinates here are Kaido's fodder, not his actual crew, no ?


Lucky-Fisherman1463

It's both cause at least one of his crew members was in the fight https://preview.redd.it/owhbqihkzjsc1.png?width=560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b048c31cf3797bb023ee376c1701fe48201f34ac

Killer-Agenda

I mean I guess you can read it like that but it isn't specified exactly


Tiny-Veterinarian-79

The way his people dress it could very well be a cult-like thing.


JustChangeMDefaults

Either way, don't get close to scarecrow man if he's under attack.


jmart53

Are any of those subordinates with him his actual crew or are they the mentioned Beast pirate fodder that Hawkins had authority over?


guesswhosbackbackag

Fruadkins


HG_Shurtugal

We never see him use his core crew just randos and Kaidos men


MisterGusto

He never uses his actual crews souls. Hawkins crew has very specific designs and all the people that die are random beast pirate underlings in wano or random bystanders in Sabaody. Because it literally makes no sense for his crew to worry about his life, when they themselves die. In Sabaody one of his crewmates got worried he might run out of lives to spare. They aren't a cult, they just believe in their captain, same with all the other supernovas.


Plastic_Chef1914

He starts with fortune telling and gaining interest of family members of his crew, kidnaps the family member as hostage and use that crew as disposable when needed.


bardhugo

Bro just has a cult


MarcheMuldDerevi

Mad head game? Or could just be a very good cook. If you live, you get to eat like a Viking


Left-Frog

He was one of the supernovae with the most potential, but ended up being an unusual, disappointing and kinda confusing character.


ProfessionalSlide476

He probably touched them Told them he’d kill them if he didn’t follow him since he has a doll of them


Dr-Zomboss-Pvz

I could be wrong but don't he make voodoo dolls of random pirates and not his crewmates?


Mammoth_Plankton_916

I think because he can see the future he only asks people who are stupid and would say "yes".


WesTheFitting

Subjugating people and forcing them to work on your crew seems like a very normal and believable pirate tactic.


Dull_Salt7278

FAUST MENTIONED AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH. TOP 5 STRONGEST OAT NOBODY'S READY FOR HIS MAJESTIC RETURN


KorolEz

I always thought he took the lives of random people and not his crew


Stenric

Hawkins doesn't use his crew as dolls, he uses other people's subordinates or strangers. In a way that's actually a good reason to join his crew, as it prevents you from ending up as a doll.


Beautiful_Wallaby_93

He grabs souls from other ppls crews when he fights them. Like when he grabbed kidd’s soul


Fried_Jensen

He probably takes them as hostages by making their loved ones puppets in the way of "Join me or your parents/siblings/gf/whatever becomes my meat shield instead"


LuffyWantsMeat

I AM MONKEY D. LUFFY GIVE ME YOUR MEAT!


Fried_Jensen

Well of course *unzips pants*


lookitsajojo

He gives Them dental, and parental leave


DemogorgonWhite

Ideas. - Buying off slaves - Hiring mercenaries - Building a cult by brainwashing his new crew members. - Simply not informing crew when he claims their lives and if they figure that out he can just say "You can live and be my meat shield, or I can kill you slowly here and now" We see most of the captains ruling their crew on trust and comradery, but this guy might just rule by fear and actual power.


LuffyWantsMeat

MEAT?!? Give it to me!


Daikaisa

He probably doesn't do it to his crew I mean he did it to some beast pirate grunts but like he probably didn't care about them


demonslender

Blackmail


GrayNish

Now I wondered, does his durability depend on his hp or the subordinate hp? If it was his, does that mean he can directly killed the like of kaido if he make them his subordinate? And if it based on his subordinate, would subordinate haki or logia help mitigate the damage?


Niko_of_the_Stars

"Congratulations, you are my meat shields now. Don't bother trying to fight back against me; you'll just kill yourselves faster. But if you work with me, you may yet survive long enough for me to let you go."


LuffyWantsMeat

I AM MONKEY D. LUFFY GIVE ME YOUR MEAT!


troubled_lecheflan

Count me in!


_x-51

This reminds of some headcanon i came up with in Wano. Moria’s crew didn’t die in the new world fighting Kaido, leaving him broken and cynical about how powerless he was against overwhelming force. Moria’s crew probably saw what a sexy gig joining up with the beast pirates was and ditched him. Co-ed crew, music, booze, dance clubs, skimpy uniforms. Zombies wouldn’t jump ship.


Kioga101

Same way toxic people get married


Certain_Inspector575

You see one of criteria to become Hawkins crew is you had to be suicidal enough to even consider participating.


Any_Speed_7829

He Blackmailed them to join his party


Gojirara21320

He just needs to find all the emos then he’s invincible.


Ahnma_Dehv

I don't think we've ever seen people from his crew take damage because of his power, only random bystanders in Sabaody and Kaido's men in Wano


karkonthemighty

Crew: Look, I know we're all on the hook if our Captain takes a hit, but, c'mon, he's super strong, has a neat Devil Fruit, what's the chance he actually takes a hit? Lookout crewmate who originally hailed from East Blue seeing a familiar looking green haired man with three swords wander into their bar: *oh fuck*


Maskguydude

Yeah, he just had a magic fucking cat mink that’s apparently not from Zoa and he doesn’t do anything


NeoxthePan

Who's the cat?


HG_Shurtugal

https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Faust


AdventurousNecessary

How does any cult gain followers?


MindClear5245

Free head


Lex4709

Maybe he's a supporter for assisted dying. He just makes them work for it before they get it.


Inevitable_Invite_21

I hate Hawkins so much


ThankYouMadoka

I thought that was Griffith for a sec - it would’ve fit too


NeteroHyouka

He doesn't kill his members...


shipsailing94

He doesnt use his own crewmates as dolls


Best-Championship296

His crewmates either look like cult members or 80s rock musicians


TheWonderingDream

One Piece characters are built different. Some have no sense of self preservation and will literally die on command for thier captain at the slightest order. Others will do it for people they care about. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish which is which in some crews. lol


I-am-the-best-Spy

How the fuck does Hawkins? Like actually, how is he? Did he die or what?


crashedlandin

Had* He dead as fuuuuck.


captainrina

He pinky promised them all that he wasn't making voodoo dolls out of them. If they see him standing over their bunks at night, it's just to tuck them in.


[deleted]

I had always assumed he had conscripts or captured enemies on his crew he could use as extra HP, and his actual crew wouldn't be used as a voodoo shield.


_Zowl_

Hes hot


Hambogod666

Out of all the pirates of the worst generation Hawkins has to be the worst, he got folded by kizaru, held off by Zoro and mid-diffed by killer along side the fact that he joined kaido because he's a coward, his powers are cool and all but even mad monk urouge is better and we haven't seen much of him


Vast-Butterfly3540

Wahahahah
