Is anyone else also feeling Hawkins has one more trick up his sleeves? Like one more Emergency Doll or something related to that. Obviously he ain't dying and there clearly was a panel of slash before Law left the room.

Well Hawkins did imply there are some cards of him we didn't see yet


This could be used either to boost his abilities or some of his allies

Plus, there is the month prediction he gave at the beginning of the arc


These are the 2 things that makes it hopeful

He was not nerf, he is just not that strong.
As I said previously Hawkins show all the extent of his abilities against Zoro:
-His cards
-His DF
-His blade
-He also used a strategy meant to fight 2 Supernovas at the same time

Even tho he did all that, he lost 3 lives in the process of the fight with Nittoryu Zoro and only hurt him because Zoro could not dodge his nails because Luffy and Tama were behind him.
At that time I said that except if you think that Hawkins has a way to fight 3 Supernovas at the same time he could not do better.

Law being not far from santoryu Zoro means that Law is stronger than Hawkins. The outcome of the fight is logical and adequate to what Oda had shown.

Well I do agree that looking at the natural progression of all the supernova, Hawkings should've been able to store 100 dolls or so. But maybe he has improved in other ways like card strength.
Regarding the latest chapter, we don't really know what happened. We only know that he doesn't have any dolls so definitely a nerf in that period.

Im pretty sure he can do more than 10. He was just using 10 as an example. Im pretty sure you used to argue the same thing until you changed your agenda to Hawkins got nerfed:feelsokeman:

Hawkins was always going to be a weak character. His ability to tell the future is a double-edged sword. It means he won't take the kind of risks that makes people grow stronger. It's actually reflected in his small bounty hike in the two years. He didn't confront pirates he had low chances of winning against and only attacked noobs like Brownbeard. I'm not surprised Law smacked him hard.

Thats why his bounty is low. Apoo has bigger balls.

Hawkins still has so much more to show. Oda is just waiting until that happens so Law surprising him like that and it being a 2 vs 1 is awful but he still has a lot more to show. He will definitely join the allince.

Dude stop this nonsense. There's nothing implying it was 2-1. Hawkins would've mentioned it in his betrayal talks. Drake likely freed law during the time Hawkins noted he was acting weird.

We saw how Hawkins power had increased with the straw man being a fair more powerful and intimidating version of the strawman he used against Kizaru(with the strawman post time skip actually giving Zoro trouble in terms of strength). We also see how effective his blade is in combat also.

Also, Law is just that good. I don't get the idea that he wasn't taking out Hawkins lives, because he obviously was, otherwise there would have been literally no point to attacking Hawkins henchmen(which were still alive) before aiming for him during their first encounter.

Not to mention, this was used as a sign that Hawkins would be getting ahead of himself if he fought Law again, and was only confirmed in the latest chapter.

Oh and btw, how is hawkins predicting that survival is at 0% if he had confronted kaidou when kid and killer did exactly that and survived?
And how is it that he thought he would die while wr know, and now he knows as well, kaidou does noz kill but turn them.

Latest chapter basically explained why Hawkins was not a flying sixer. Hawkins never fought Kaido, thus he got a shitty position.

I see 14 people say he was not nerfed. I wonder what type of thought processes these people have?

14 people that actually use their brain.

9 people who never saw the fight think he got nerfed, but you rather question the 15 logical people. :seriously:
