He's still literally on the other side. Hawkins is the cavalry trope. He's the one who's going to save the day. I already predicted the match up of Kid, Luffy, Killer, and Zoro vs Kaidou and/or Big Mom, and I said they'd lose, just like how in Stampede, the supernovas weren't able to drop Bullet, and a new team came in. Zoro and Killer will do some minor damage, zoro might do his cut into kaidou that won't do anything but re-open the wound, maybe kinemon does it instead when he uses enma and/or momo's sword instead of zoro, but ultimately killer and zoro will either get pulled away to other fights or lose, then hawkins and drake will show up, hawkins bolstering the stats of all of them, and it becomes a 5/6 (if marco joins) v 2 yonkou fight.
This moment has literally been built up since pre skip sabondy by shakky, those 5 having a line up team up against kaidou and big mom.
Literally I've been right about the first matchup, and it'll fail.

A heavily nerfed whitebeard 2 hit akainu, sorry, admirals get low diff'd by fresh yonkou, they don't fair any better than luffy did in his first match against kaidou.
