Basil Hawkins, dubbed the "Magician," commands the seas as a North Blue pirate captain and prominent member of the Worst Generation—infamous rookies bearing bounties surpassing 100,000,000 beri. His notoriety expanded when his initial 249,000,000 beri bounty climbed to 320,000,000 beri post a two-year span, signaling heightened threat and deadliness in combat. Empowered by the Straw-Straw Fruit, a Devil Fruit granting dominion over life-linked straw dolls, Hawkins redirects injuries to others. Merging this ability with tarot card divination, he approaches battles with clinical precision, retaining an unflappable composure even against Marine Admirals or Yonko. Forced into pragmatism after crossing paths with Kaidou, Hawkins calculated survival odds via tarot readings. The verdict—zero chance of defying the Yonko—led him to join the Beasts Pirates as a Shinuchi. Though outwardly loyal, flickers of internal conflict surfaced, hinting at unspoken regrets beneath his detached facade. In Wano Country, Hawkins weaponized Pleasures from Kaidou’s ranks as expendable vessels for his straw dolls. His ruthless tactics emerged during clashes with adversaries like Killer, costing him an arm. His visual identity shifted across arcs: once clad in white, he later adopted checkered motifs and darker garb, marked by intricate tattoos and golden-blonde hair. At the Pirates Festival in *Stampede*, Hawkins joined Worst Generation allies against Douglas Bullet, Roger’s former comrade. Despite deploying tarot predictions and straw proxies, Bullet’s awakened Devil Fruit might overpowered him, underscoring Hawkins’ tendency to engage grand conflicts without altering his calculated path. Relationships for Hawkins hinge on utility. His crew obeys without question, yet allies like the Pleasures serve as mere tools. Dynamics with rivals like Trafalgar Law and Eustass Kid fluctuate between uneasy truces and competition, prioritizing survival over camaraderie. Hawkins’ every move orbits around tarot-guided logic, eschewing emotion to navigate piracy’s chaos through icy rationality and the lethal symbiosis of prophecy and straw-bound sacrifice.
