Basil Hawkins is an infamous pirate known as the "Magician" and the captain of the Hawkins Pirates.
Hawkins is a fearsome pirate who, along with his crew, managed to survive the first half of the Grand Line and to enter the New World.He often speaks like a fortune teller and has been noted to mention reading "signs".He can use cards to (apparently) assist him in determining the outcome of any event, as well as the likelihood of his own success. This proves helpful in many situations, as it allows him to previously determine the outcomes of a battle and to act accordingly.
Basil Hawkins' unnamed Devil Fruit ability enables him to redirect any instances of physical damage inflicted upon him to another person using straw voodoo dolls, leaving him unharmed but forcing his victim to take damage amounting to what he would have.
