Chapter 803

The red-haired man took a deep breath and asked Cang.

"What I want to tell you is…"

"The wooden box you're holding right now—it's not ordinary, is it?"

Lu En's smile carried a hint of amusement.

"Huh?!"

The red-haired man's pupils shrank slightly, his expression twisting with profound shock.

His eyes locked onto Lu En, his heart reeling in disbelief.

Huh!

He exhaled heavily, forcing himself to suppress the turmoil within, then demanded sharply: "What else do you know?!"

Lu En's few words had shaken the red-haired man to his core.

He was terrified by Lu En's words.

Across this entire sea,

very few people know this secret.

Fewer than five!

Especially…

Those who know of the Nika Fruit are even rarer.

Moreover,

now the Nika Fruit is already in his hands.

Tell me,

as of now,

who knows this secret?

No one!

Not a single person!

Aside from the red-haired man himself, no one knows that the wooden box he holds contains the Nika Fruit—the very fruit the World Government has long desired but never obtained!

A Devil Fruit capable of changing the course of an entire era!

If the World Government found out,

the red-haired man's return to the East Sea would not be so smooth.

Even

if he remained in the New World, the World Government would never let this go.

The Nika Fruit's stakes are simply too great.

The World Government will not allow anyone to hold the Nika Fruit.

Even someone as powerful as the red-haired man, if it became known he possessed the Nika Fruit, Bijiang Society would pay him extraordinary attention.

And draw countless top-tier powerhouses to seize it!

Yet until now,

the World Government has shown not the slightest sign of movement.

What does this mean?

It means…

the World Government is completely unaware that the red-haired man holds the Nika Fruit.

That is why they have taken no action whatsoever.

Otherwise, the entire Red-Haired Pirates would face an unprecedented catastrophe.

But now,

what the red-haired man could not believe was…

the five-year-old Quan Mo Lu En before him seemed to know something about the Nika Fruit in his hands!

This left the red-haired man stunned.

He had assumed

that across the entire sea, he alone knew this secret.

That was why

he had devised such a meticulous plan.

He had traveled thousands of miles from the New World back to the East Sea, to the tiny fishing village of Windmill.

Yet who could have foreseen?

Here, he encountered a monster beyond reason!

This one, too, appeared to know the secret of the Nika Fruit!

"Could it be…"

"That my earlier solemn and heavy expression inadvertently revealed the immense value of this wooden box?"

"And allowed the monster Quan Mo Lu En to sense it?"

The red-haired man fell into deep thought.

He did not believe

that anyone could truly foresee the future!

This secret should have remained unknown to all.

After careful consideration,

Red Hair had to suppress the horrifying guesses filling his heart.

Perhaps…

It was just a coincidence?!

Holding such a thought, Red Hair took another deep breath and slightly adjusted his trembling mood.

He looked toward Lu En, his gaze carrying a degree of solemnity: "Just as you predicted, the item inside the wooden box in my hand is indeed extremely precious."

"Then."

"What exactly do you want to say?"

Red Hair did not deny the preciousness of the wooden box.

But, he likewise did not reveal any information about the item inside the wooden box.

Clearly,

He was testing Lu En!

Testing Lu En's background step by step.

"Would it be convenient to let me take a look at the item inside the wooden box?"

Lu En smiled playfully.

"Not convenient."

Red Hair refused with a cold face.

"Tsk tsk tsk…"

"You're getting anxious?"

"Are you afraid I'll discover some terrifying secret?"

"After all."

"This secret is the main reason you traveled thousands of miles from the New World back to the East Sea."

Lu En said with great interest.

"Huh?!"

Red Hair's expression shifted slightly.

He watched Lu En coldly with an increasingly suspicious look.

Although the other party had not revealed too much information, Red Hair still sensed it.

The Lu En before him, only five years old…
