Pirate Catcher in the Rye

"As expected of my son, he is exactly the same as when I was a child!"

After a long silence, Edwin nodded with relief.

Divination is the long-lasting secret of the Basil family, but it is only limited by the level of talent and hard work, and the achievements may be high or low.

Hawkins can take the initiative to learn. As a father, he is naturally very pleased and very supportive.

After hearing Edwin's words, Hawkins' mother Bernice also fell silent!

She thought her husband was an honest man who was not good at words, but she didn't expect that he could lie so smoothly.

should…

No, it's definitely not the first time!

"Hi~"

Edwin shivered suddenly, feeling that the temperature in the study suddenly dropped a few degrees.

Is it because of winter?

But it is already March, and the North Sea is not a great shipping route. Logically speaking, the temperature should not drop suddenly!

Edwin subconsciously turned his head to look at his wife behind him, and what he saw was a smiling face, as usual.

How strange!

Edwin rubbed the back of his head in confusion, wondering what the problem was.

"Father, since you agreed, the divination course will start tomorrow. I suddenly remembered that the quilt in the bedroom has not been folded yet, so I have to go first!"

After saying that, Hawkins quickly left the study without giving Edwin a chance to answer.

He, Hawkins,

He is a considerate and decent person!

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry? The future heir of the Basil family actually wants to make his own quilt. Who taught him? Those servants should take care of it!"

"You're right, Edwin, some people need to be taken care of!"

Bernice nodded meaningfully, looking directly at her husband, still smiling like a flower.

"Well... Bernice... don't look at me like this... I'm a little scared!"

"Don't be afraid, it will be fine soon. How many days do you want to lie down this time?"

"Lie... how many days? !!"

Edwin was slightly startled, feeling that these words seemed inexplicably familiar.

Yes, I remember, the last time Bernice said this, he danced with a noble lady!

That night... was brutal and bloody.

"Help!"

Thinking of this, Edwin ran desperately out of the study, but his wife grabbed him by the collar.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Soon, the screams were no longer heard in the study, only the long and boring sound of punches.

The scene is quite harmonious!

……

"A sin!"

Returning to his bedroom, Hawkins sighed heavily.

It can be said that Hawkins knows his parents very well in this life. If nothing else, he thinks he can judge people very accurately!

Compared to his frail father who only knew some divination knowledge, his mother Bernice also came from an extraordinary background.

Bernice's father, Hawkins's grandfather, was a general in the Kingdom of Lubnir and was very powerful.

It is said that he once killed a pirate captain who came to rob the Kingdom of Lubnir, and the reward for that pirate captain was as high as 7000 million beli.

Such a bounty is indeed nothing in the first half of the Grand Line and the New World, but it is rare in the world, even in the North Sea where bounties are generally high!

Although she was a girl, his grandfather also taught his mother some simple fighting skills under the influence of his ears.

More than enough to deal with ordinary people!

……

the next day,

"uncle!"

Looking at the majestic man in front of him, Hawkins greeted him respectfully.

Not only was the man in front of him his uncle, he was also the current patriarch of the Basil family.

Basil Edson!

The eldest son of the Basil family, he is also a genius of the previous generation.

Still unmarried,

He seems to have no interest in anything other than divination and running the family.

"Twenty years, you only have 20 years to grow up, I hope it's not too late!" Edson sighed heavily.

The tone is full of worry and melancholy!

"Year 20?"

Hawkins felt a little confused, what 20 years?Why can’t I understand it at all?

He is a super genius known to everyone in the Basil family, but there are still things in this world that he doesn't understand?

absurd!

It's so ridiculous, it's simply a naked provocation!

"The Basil family stipulates that from the first day the heir of the patriarch learns divination, the current patriarch must unconditionally tell the family's last secret."

"Now, you may be the last generation!" Edson said solemnly, ignoring Hawkins' ever-changing expression.

"The final secret?"

Hawkins' eyelids twitched. Could it be that the Basil family, like Trafalgar Law, was also a member of the 'D' family who had concealed their names?

In this way, I am not the protagonist of life.

Seems pretty good too!

"Eighty years ago, the strongest fortune teller in the history of the Basil family predicted that in the year 80 of the Hainan calendar, the Basil family would come to an end."

After saying that, Edson looked a little sad.

Even though Hawkins was too young, Edson didn't hide anything. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he didn't dare.

Since his ancestors left such a prophecy, he naturally has his reasons. As long as his ability does not surpass his ancestors, he can only abide by it!

Over the years, he worked hard to develop and expand his family, and worked hard to improve his divination skills. However, his talent was limited, and in the end he couldn't even scratch the surface of divination.

And he is now the strongest fortune teller in the Basil family!

"The year 1512 of the Hainan calendar? The end?"

Hawkins murmured to himself, savoring what Edson said.

It seems that things are much more interesting and complicated than he imagined!

He had already guessed about the future of the Basil family, and now it was just confirmed. But what he didn't expect was that they had already known the result.

In other words, Hawkins on the original trajectory also knew about this, but he failed in the end!

Even Hawkins, who could become a supernova later, failed. It seems that it is not easy and interesting.

"Sure enough, it seems that I made the right choice. I have to become stronger than the original Hawkins!"

"Wow~hahahahaha——"

Thinking of this, Hawkins laughed nervously.

The childish laughter was still so domineering and full of sinister and cunning feeling. It was hard to imagine that it was only a six or seven-month-old child who made such laughter.

"boom!"

The laughter stopped abruptly.

Edson slapped Hawkins on the head.

For some reason, when he heard the oozing laughter, he couldn't control his hands and had the urge to beat Hawkins!

of course,

He did take action, but it still felt like it wasn't enough. The intensity and quantity were a bit lacking.

Ok?

But when he saw Hawkins' tearful, aggrieved face, all his impulses disappeared.

What have I done?

He is still a child!
