Pirates Devouring Fruit

He went to the naval branch here to reminisce with old friends, and Basil Hawkins was naturally pulled into the group by Dawn.

However, when the waiter brought the specialties of Karate Island, Dawn's mouth twitched violently when he saw what was on the plate.

He originally thought that the ribs here won by quantity, but he didn't expect that they won by both weight and size!

If it was the ribs sold in foreign restaurants in my previous life, one would be enough, but I didn’t expect there to be a whole rib on the plate!

Moreover, the size of one rib is very large, obviously a native animal of the pirate world. If these bones are used to stew soup, it will definitely be enough for several large pots!

Add to that a huge steak burger with butter and a big bowl of vegetable soup, and the portion size is simply explosive!

And I heard from the waiter that this is only the portion for one person?

The set meals ordered by others also seemed to be based on this amount. After all, trying different types of dishes is more in line with everyone's schedule.

"Can you finish it? Is this the portion for one person?"

Basil Hawkins was just an ordinary person before he obtained his abilities. Even after obtaining the power of the devil fruit, he only focused on developing his abilities. Although his appetite increased, he did not focus on physical skills.

Looking at the pile of food in front of him, Basil Hawkins was confused at the moment.

After all, he is still a kid. His mature side is shown when facing strangers, but now that he is familiar with people, his childish side will occasionally show up.

However, Tina and others are mostly like this. Their childishness and calmness in battle are like two different personalities. Dawn can only sigh that the kids here are all monsters.

Little did they know that in the eyes of others, Dawn was the weirdest one.

However, Basil Hawkins suddenly felt that the attention of Dawn and others around him suddenly shifted to him, and those strange looks made him feel creepy.

"Hey, I'll give you some later." Dawn patted Basil Hawkins' shoulder, and everyone nodded in agreement.

"What?" Basil Hawkins asked in confusion.

When the table was piled with all kinds of food, Dawn and the others put a portion of each dish on Basil Hawkins' plate.

But the moment all the dishes were portioned out and placed on his plate, the large portion of food was devoured in an instant.

"Oh, the ribs here are really good, and the portion is big." Sora held the ribs and bit off a large piece of meat in one bite, while chewing the ribs and speaking incoherently.

"The cream soup is good too." Xiuen couldn't help but praise it.

"Boss, give me another serving of ribs." Berrygood turned and shouted to the boss.

So Basil Hawkins couldn't help but twitch his lips as he watched Dawn and the others finish one "super large" dish after another.

"Phew, I'm full, this is the last portion." Sora said with satisfaction as he looked at the sauced wild boar tenderloin in front of him.

"How can you eat so much?" Basil Hawkins burped as he ate, but what made him frustrated was that every time the food was served, they only gave him a little bit...

"Oh, you usually eat in the cafeteria, right? In fact, there's a special place that provides food in the training room. We basically eat in the training room after training." Dawn said with satisfaction after taking a bite of the tenderloin.

I heard that the tenderloin here was stewed in the stove by the boss early in the morning, and then combined with a secret recipe. By the time they ate it at noon, the tenderloin was already stewed very well.

Although it lacks some chewiness, it melts in your mouth and the tenderloin, which has absorbed all the juice, still tastes delicious.

Moreover, the tenderloin is in large chunks, which tastes really good.

"Why do we have to go to the cafeteria to eat after we've already eaten?" Basil Hawkins asked somewhat puzzled.

"Ah, the food in the training room is just grilled meat and sprinkled with some spices, or boiled in water with salt, and they all taste basically the same.

But if it’s too complicated, it will tire the cook. After training, both we and the soldiers have a big appetite, but we will get tired of eating just the same thing, so we will eat something at noon to change the taste.”

Sora explained vaguely while eating the delicious tenderloin.

After listening to Dawn's explanation, Basil Hawkins finally came to his senses. Although he looked melancholy and gloomy, he was very young and his silly expression made him look unexpectedly cute.

After the group had eaten and drunk their fill, Sora was going to the Yoga Karate gym. Naturally, no one in the group had any objections, leaving only Basil Hawkins and Dawn walking at the back.

"Have you decided whether to join the navy? Don't you have a divination? Why don't you use it to see whether joining the navy is a good or bad thing? Or am I hiding it?" Dawn turned his head and looked at Basil Hawkins and asked again.

"Actually, I have had divination done. Although anyone associated with you will block my divination, what I want to divine is my present and future after my own choices, so it will not be blocked by you." Basil Hawkins said.

"Oh? What is it?" Dawn suddenly became curious about Basil Hawkins' divination results.

Chapter 71 The choice of path

After the previous divination, Dawn still had more trust in Basil Hawkins' divination ability.

To be honest, he knew that if Basil Hawkins had not met him, he would have become a pirate.

But now he has been invited to join the navy. I wonder what he can predict in the current situation?

Dawn was curious, very curious.

It feels like the butterfly in South America that fanned the air currents to cause a tornado and knew the consequences of its actions, and it knew it through foresight.

Basil Hawkins said with a puzzled expression: "This divination is very strange. The card representing "now" is [The Fool].

"[Fool]? What do you mean?"

Dawn was not very proficient in Carlo cards in his previous life, but he roughly knew that "The Fool" seemed to be a very special card.

“The Fool is the first card in the Carlo deck, and it also represents this [0].

But [0] means nothing, as if knowing nothing, but also as if it contains greater potential than other cards.

This card does not have a particular order and is not in the order of 1-21. It is a card with a special status. The reason why it is [0] can also be said to be the beginning or end of everything. "

After hearing Basil Hawkins' explanation, Dawn nodded thoughtfully and asked, "What about the future? Which card is it again?"

The card representing the future is [Magician]. This is also what confuses me. The two cards that appeared in this divination are too special.

"You mean you're still hesitating after you know what divination means?" Dawn asked with interest.

"Well, the ranking of the card [Magician] is [01], and its meaning is creation and beginning."

"In other words, these two cards represent a completely new path for you if you join the Navy?" Dawn looked interested.

Although Dawn showed no change in emotion on the surface at this moment, he couldn't help feeling surprised in his heart.

At the same time, Dawn also increasingly valued Basil Hawkins's divination ability. This thing was very accurate and unexpectedly useful.

"You were a pirate in your previous life. If I recruit you into the navy, wouldn't that be a brand new beginning? But how can I help you make up your mind?" Dawn thought secretly.

"Actually, after the first divination, I realized something, and then I did another divination, so I kept hesitating."

Basil Hawkins had no idea what Dawn was thinking and continued talking to himself.

Dawn was interrupted by Basil Hawkins' words and asked curiously:

"Oh? You mean the two divinations had different results? And it was that realization that changed your divination?"

"You could say that." At this moment, Basil Hawkins' face showed a hint of hesitation and confusion. It was not difficult to see that this was what made him embarrassed.

"What about the result of your second divination? What changes have occurred?"

Hearing Dawn's question, Basil Hawkins seemed to have made up his mind and said: The second divination represents that the [Fool] of the "present" has not changed, but the future has become [Justice].

"This sounds more like the future represented by joining the navy than the previous divination. So what exactly did you add to the future for the first time?" Dawn asked.

"When I divined for the first time, I divined that I would accept your invitation to join the navy. Since I couldn't divine you, I thought you would influence my divination. Sure enough, the first card I got was the Magician."

"Then I divined again and decided to simply join the navy. As expected, the second time, I predicted that if I simply joined the navy, my future would be towards [Justice], and then I realized it.

Basil Hawkins looked at Dawn and spoke calmly in a charlatan tone.

"What did you realize?" Dawn had a headache at the moment. This kind of conversation with a charlatan was really a headache and he couldn't keep up with the pace.

At this moment, Basil Hawkins's face was a little solemn. He stared at Dawn and said to him word by word:

“On the card [Magician], the magician is not wearing an ordinary belt around his waist, but an Ouroboros!

When you encountered the pirates before, the aura that gave people a boost during the battle had the same thing around it.

After hearing Basil Hawkins' explanation, Dawn already understood it in his heart, but he still asked with a smile: "You mean that if I'm in your future, it will be [Magician], and if I'm not in your future, it will be [Justice], so you are struggling with this?"

"Yes," Basil Hawkins nodded.

"But don't they all join the navy? With my intervention, maybe you can get a promotion in the future?" Dawn joked.

Basil Hawkins shook his head and said, "Although joining the navy means being a new Fool, the future paths are completely different. You are the branch of two cards, and now I have made my decision."

Dawn looked at Basil Hawkins and asked seriously, "Magician?"

Dawn is so confident not because he is conceited, but because Basil Hawkins told Dawn the results of the two divinations.

But it was the meaning revealed in Basil Hawkins' words that made Dawn understand the other party's plan.

Seeing Basil Hawkins nodded, Dawn patted Basil Hawkins on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You are welcome to join the Navy and us, but if your strength can't keep up, don't blame us for abandoning you."

"Although we are both joining the navy, the meanings are different, Captain." Basil Hawkins looked at Dawn and said seriously.

After hearing the word "Captain", Dawn could not help but know what Basil Hawkins meant. This showed that his position and loyalty were to Dawn himself rather than the navy. Being called captain on the sea represented his loyalty.

Dawn was silent for a moment and said, "Give me a reason."

"If I join the Navy, my future will be nothing more than the card of Justice, which represents balance. I would rather follow the path of Creation represented by the card of Magician."

“In fact, it was not until later that I realized that the first [Fool] and the second [Fool] who joined the navy, although both were freshmen, represented different meanings.” Afterwards, I divined again to see if my idea was correct, and the answer was yes.

In other words, the two appearances of "The Fool" represent two different beginnings.

Although Basil Hawkins didn't express it clearly, Dawn understood it now. Basil Hawkins didn't care much about choosing the navy path.

If it is the path of the [Justice] card, then he may give up joining the navy and then go down the path of pirates in the anime, then the [Fool] who represents a fresh start will naturally disappear.

Because he was not interested in what the navy did, but following Dawn's "fool" and "magician" was the reason why Basil Hawkins chose to join the navy.

And he chose to join only because Dawn was now a marine.

Chapter 72 Team

Although it is a headache to talk to a charlatan, the meaning and behavior of the other party make one thing clear.

The path of [Fool] - [Justice], which represents joining the Navy, is probably to strike a serious blow against Haze and embark on a proper naval path, but Basil Hawkins obviously has no such intention.

The path of [Fool] — [Magician] is the path that Basil Hawkins chooses to join in his future. Obviously, the creation represented by the magician is more attractive than the serious navy justice.

Looking at Basil Hawkins in front of him, Dawn really didn't expect that such a "bow down and worship" scene would actually happen to him.

In any case, Dawn's goal was achieved, and Basil Hawkins was successfully lured into the navy by Dawn.

And unlike the others, Basil Hawkins chose to go with Dawn instead of the "Navy".
