Chapter 812: This Is Fate! Luffy, the Landlubber! [Request Self-Subscription]

Not far apart.

Red-Haired kept his eyes locked on every move Lu En made.

He watched with his own eyes,

Lu En took out the Nika fruit and presented it before Little Lufei, seemingly leaving the choice to the latter himself!

Every one of these scenes fell clearly into Red-Haired's gaze.

Even this mighty pirate of the New World felt an intense surge of tension, his spirit taut, his eyes not daring to shift an inch.

Ben Beike Man, Ye Su Bu, and other officers walked forward step by step, arriving at Red-Haired's side.

Ben Beike Man couldn't help asking: "What's inside the box?"

Upon hearing this,

Red-Haired fell silent for a moment.

After a long while,

he took a deep breath and answered honestly: "A Devil Fruit capable of changing an era!"

With those words spoken,

Ben Beike Man's pupils shrank slightly.

Beside him,

Ye Su Bu and Luo Qi Lu both turned pale.

They could not imagine it.

What kind of Devil Fruit could change an era!

Could this sea truly possess such a terrifying Devil Fruit?

Why had they never heard of it before?

But they trusted Red-Haired without condition.

They believed.

Red-Haired would never deliberately exaggerate.

Since he dared to say this,

it must be based on solid grounds!

It could not possibly be mere rumor.

"A Devil Fruit capable of changing an era…"

Ben Beike Man's eyes glazed over, his mind dazed, unable to help blurting out, "It's unimaginable—this sea still holds such a terrifying Devil Fruit."

Faintly,

he seemed to recall some hidden secret of the sea.

"Could it be…"

Ben Beike Man involuntarily drew in a sharp breath.

"It's the legendary Devil Fruit!"

Red-Haired revealed the truth in a pleading tone.

"This!"

Ben Beike Man was momentarily speechless.

Beside him,

Ye Su Bu and Luo Qi Lu listened as the two captains spoke in riddles, never once grasping the true meaning behind their words.

"What secret is this?"

Both looked utterly bewildered.

At this moment,

faced with Lu En's choice,

Little Lufei felt uneasy.

For some reason…

he always felt

that what was happening right now would affect his future fate.

This intuitive premonition made Lufei extremely tense, stiff, and hesitant.

"It… seems important to me…"

Little Lufei stared blankly at the Devil Fruit inside the wooden box, as if his entire soul had been drawn into this single fruit.

The Devil Fruit, purple in hue, was covered in spiral patterns, fixing Lufei's gaze upon it, his eyes unable to tear away even a fraction.

There was no clear reason, yet Lufei felt this fruit was profoundly important to him.

It was as if…

it was inseparable from his own body.

Or rather,

it had always been a part of his body.

Precisely because of this,

he felt a bloodline connection.

"Can I pick it up?"

Little Lufei asked weakly.

"Of course."

Lu En nodded.

Then,

Little Lufei picked up the Devil Fruit from the wooden box and examined it closely under the sunlight, his large eyes filled with curiosity and longing.

This strange fruit…

emitted an aura that drew him in everywhere.

He wanted to swallow it.

"So he chose Little Lufei!"

Seeing the Nika Fruit now radiating an aura that attracted Little Lufei, Lu En thought to himself.

"But…"

"Little Lufei, will you choose it?"

It made sense that the Nika Fruit would choose Little Lufei.

Yet,

would Little Lufei choose the Nika Fruit?

That was unknown.

But seeing that Little Lufei was already drawn to the Nika Fruit,

at this moment,

Lu En had his answer.

He couldn't help but sigh: "It seems Little Lufei has already made his choice. Fate is still that fate. The future is still that future."

"The only difference is…"

"the future now has my interference!"

Thinking of this,

Lu En let go of his doubts.

As long as one possesses sufficient power…

what is this so-called fate?

Just a joke.

He never believed in such so-called fate.

"Big brother, I want to get it."

Little Lufei gritted his teeth, his face resolute.

Though he couldn't find a reason,

he simply felt that this fruit drew him in everywhere.

He could not ignore this attraction at all.

It was as if…

he was born to possess this fruit.

He didn't want to let it go.

This intense attraction was like a deadly poison.

It made him want to seize it at any cost.

This was the first time in Little Lufei's life he had ever felt this way.
