Are we sure about this? Maybe I missed it, but I think that Hawkins with the necessary prep can gain an even higher number of lives
@Bogard
I'm connecting my post from before (when I said that Hawkins could have more than 10 lives at the same time) to a thought I had... seen again this panel you posted
Sorry for the late reply, but i posted this thread just before traveling, so couldn't make any reply afterwards. Either way, i already replied to this question in the thread in question by posting this picture
It comes from Hawkins' latest vivre-card info, and it talks about a
maximum of 10 dolls. With that said, in the manga, there was no specific mentioned. Hawkins just gave an example of when he has 10 infused
But with his limit not mentioned, so we'd see how Oda will handle it in the manga(if he can stock more than 10 dolls or not, considering he already stated preskip he could stock 10 dolls, and thus making it questionable if the limit remained the same, but on the other side, too much and it'd make him too overpowered, so maybe it's why Oda could want to limit it, potentially to focus more on his individual stats growth, especially in monster form)
