Lmao why do people keep associating me with this? Sure i hyped up Hawkins at one point, but it's because i'm interested in the SNs development(well except Apoo who is a snitch), and was taking into account the top5 captains(Luffy, Law, Kid, Hawkins, Drake) that Oda hyped over the rest. It wasn't because i'm particularily fond of Hawkins, but more interested in the SNs development in general except Apoo
This aside tho, as i mentioned before, this moment is used to hype Apoo's ability due to the trickery of his sound attacks, but when his ability will be exposed, it'd not be the same anymore. That's why someone who is far more knowledgeable in Apoo's ability than Luffy / Zoro, yet weaker than Luffy(at best equal) is smashing Apoo by the end
