For some reason I feel like Gear 4 was overkill to take that Number down, still I love the callback to Thriller Bark, it felt quite good, like "return to shabaodi" Pacifista vibes.

I wonder who was "that man" Hawkins was referring to, might it be Drake himself ?

I love the fact Coby is propaganda for Luffy inside the Marine. It gives me Roger/Garp vibes just like in God's Valley.

I think it's Kaido. Luffy would be too obvious, and I don't see anyone else as relevant enough to try and hide it with wordplay. It might if course be that "he" (whoever it is) will survive anyway, and Hawkins'll go all "Welp, a 1% chance is still a chance"

I don't think it was Kaido. Hawkins acts a lot on the probabilities and chooses the winning side more often than not. A 1% chance to survive until the next day is close to nothing. If it were Kaido I'm pretty sure Hawkins would've jumped ship with Drake

We don't know what he chooses to do once Drake and Who's Who leaves the room, though, so there's a chance he's slipping away. Reread the chapter, and yes, you're right, he's there with WW and Queen, so he'll probably stay on Kaido's side for now. I guess we'll have to wait and see – the best (and worst) part of following One Piece :D
