Apoo was suspicious. Eustass 'Captain' Kidd was calling for a meeting completely out of the blue, and it bothered the long-arm. His notorious fellow Supernova wasn't the type to gather people for 'tea' as the invitation had stated. He'd examined it over and over, but there was no secret code to be found. Either Kidd was being completely genuine, or this was a trap. Either way, he had to go check it out.
A day later, he found himself sailing west, which was rather surprising. He didn't think that Eustass would still be this far behind. After all, the man had a 470 million bounty! He pondered over why this might be when all of a sudden he heard his crew shouting. Dashing to the bow of his ship, he looked out into the mist and saw the infamous flag of the Hawkins Pirates. Shifting his arms, he fashioned himself a saxophone and began playing. The music streamed out towards the other boat, and soon enough, he saw the ship drift closer. As Hawkins's ship appraoched, he saw that his attack had worked, and that Basil's crew had been hypnotized. Hawkins himself however had his arms crossed angrily, and was assuming a battle stance.
"What is the meaning of this, Apoo?" spat the magician.
"I could ask you the same question," replied the musician, "you tailing us or something?
"Is that what you believe? How egoistic of you," said Hawkins haughtishly.
"Well then what are you really doing?" said Scratchmen.
"For your information," said Hawkins, "Eustass Kidd has invited me to an..ahem… gathering."
"That's funny…He had a tea party scheduled with me today… Wait! You're going too? What do you think he wants?"
"Please, inviting two captains powerful in their own rights to a gathering? He must want an alliance."
"What would he want an alliance for?"
"I can't say. I really can't say."
A.N.: I realize now how much I detest writing for the Supernova. I love them as characters and all, but staying canon when we don't know much about them is hard. It kinda became Basil Hawkins-half-centric because I couldn't figure out a good setting. So I took something already existing and elaborated. Hope it was ok!
