Alright so with the release of chapter 1029 we're given more information about Basil Hawkins abilities, so I'll cut to the chase.
Basil Hawkins needs an ability revision and added weaknesses.
If you stab Hawkins in his chest, someone else gains a stab wound.
It's explained here.
Eustass Kid has no left arm. When Killer cut off Basil Hawkins' left arm, the damage went to him.
So if the owner of the life does not share the body part that the damage is supposed to transfer to, then the damage goes directly to Hawkins.
So if somehow you manage to attack someone that owns the life, they will be harmed and the life will be lost.
He should get invulnerability via Attack Redirection/Reflection, which makes it to where attacks dealt to him can not harm him as long as he has extra lives. If not that, then maybe regen.
I'm not sure if this is covered by the Attack Reflection, so let me know if that's the case.
Kid's doll did not die from the many wounds and bruises Kid was given.
Yet we see during Sabaody that the fodder kicked by Kizaru automatically died from his attacks, making their dolls fall out.
Life Manipulation with Straw Man (He places the essence of others into his dolls. He has a limit of 10 dolls at a time), Attack Reflection and Invulnerability with Life Minus (Basil Hawkins has the ability of Life Minus, where when he is attacked, the effects of the attack gets redirected to one of the dolls inside his body. Because of that, the attack ends up damaging the person that the doll represents, leaving Hawkins untouched. The doll is only fully destroyed when it kills the victim), Transformation and Statistics Amplification (via Goma no So)
Weaknesses: Standard Devil Fruit users weaknesses. Voodoo doll supply is limited to ten dolls. Any damage done to the Straw Man figure from the sword created by the Card of Pursuit is transferred to Hawkins himself. The damage dealt to Hawkins needs a respective exit on someone else's body, so if the damage has nowhere to go, it goes straight to Hawkins. If you kill Hawkins' other lives directly, he loses a doll.
Basil Hawkins needs an ability revision and added weaknesses.
1. Recap
Basil Hawkins has an ability called "Life Minus", where if he gets struck by an attack, the damage goes to someone else's respective place of damage, and Hawkins is unharmed.If you stab Hawkins in his chest, someone else gains a stab wound.
It's explained here.
2. Showings of the Ability
They're all here.3. Weaknesses
Weakness #1, Missing Exit
We see on the new chapter that if Basil Hawkins is struck by a person, and the damage has nowhere to go, then the damage will go to him.Eustass Kid has no left arm. When Killer cut off Basil Hawkins' left arm, the damage went to him.
Killer: What happens if you take damage that has nowhere else to go?
Hawkins: What are you talking about?! You should understand my powers by now...!! As long as I have his straw holl in me, any damage I take goes to Kid!!
Hawkins: You... you cut off my arm?!! But the damage should have...
Killer: Kid... doesn't have a left arm!!!
So if the owner of the life does not share the body part that the damage is supposed to transfer to, then the damage goes directly to Hawkins.
Weakness #2, Direct Attack
As Hawkins puts others' lives into his doll, any damage done on the specific lives will kill the straw doll as well.So if somehow you manage to attack someone that owns the life, they will be harmed and the life will be lost.
4. Abilities
Hawkins is virtually immune to attacks. Abilities that horizontally bisect him, abilities that cut straight through his body, abilities that stab him. He was even immune to the brain damage he dealt to Kid when he bashed his head upon a wall.He should get invulnerability via Attack Redirection/Reflection, which makes it to where attacks dealt to him can not harm him as long as he has extra lives. If not that, then maybe regen.
I'm not sure if this is covered by the Attack Reflection, so let me know if that's the case.
5. Required Damage dealt
The damage needs to be enough to kill the victim before their straw doll dies.Kid's doll did not die from the many wounds and bruises Kid was given.
Yet we see during Sabaody that the fodder kicked by Kizaru automatically died from his attacks, making their dolls fall out.
6. Removing Possibly
Goma no So is an AP amp. Shouldn't be Possibly Statistics AmplificationIn Conclusion
