Episode 955 spoilers
The new episode’s preview showed Law holding Hawkins injured while being captive. According to EconoTimes, this scene seemed to be derived from the manga where Law asked Hawkins about his alliance with Kid and Apoo.
Hawkins then tells Law they learned Apoo is now under Kaido that ultimately led to his and Kid’s capture.
Instead of killing them, Kaido offers them to join his army so that they can live. Knowing they only have a small chance of survival, Hawkins accepted the proposal.
Alternatively, Kid and Killer refuse the deal and try to fight, but they only end up defeated.
Hawkins may also reveal that Kaido has no plans to kill strong enemies, which may be why Kid and Killer are still in prison.
He may be hoping to disrupt the two’s spirit so that they will later surrender and take his side.
The fight between Big Mom and Kaido continues!
