The comment by Hawkins was interesting, about trying to get more power from his tarot cards. It sounds like if a card is drawn and the "prophecy" is fulfilled he can draw more to hopefully get a card that will be added greatly to his advantage.

A downfall of the power he has is that his subordinates do not seem very powerful. If Luffy and Zoro would have just taken out the 10 subordinates first then Hawkins would have no one to be the puppets. I wonder what he needs to do to make new ones, if it is simple enough he could make them on the fly if there was a larger melee.
