"Uncle Rayleigh, you two should know about this, right? You've been to Laugh Tale, after all. You know some of this world's **."
Otherwise, why had Red-Hair gone out of his way to get the Gum-Gum Fruit, then specifically gone to Foosha Village and let Luffy eat it?
A top-tier fighter on the level of the Four Emperors had "accidentally" lost an arm to an ordinary Sea King in the East Blue while saving Luffy. Who would believe that?
As soon as Xunjing said that, both Shakky's and Rayleigh's expressions changed.
Rayleigh even set down his wineglass. His gaze locked onto Xunjing, and his voice lowered. "How did you know the Gum-Gum Fruit was the Nika Fruit?"
"How much... do you know about Nika?"
There was a note of tension in Rayleigh's voice.
His thoughts raced. Could secrets like this really be recorded in this fellow's family chronicles? If so, the power behind Xunjing was probably far more complicated than he and Shakky had previously estimated.
This was a ** that even the World ** was desperately keeping under wraps.
Xunjing merely spread his hands casually and smiled. "Just assume I found it in an old book passed down through my family."
"As for what I know-Nika is the Sun God Nika, the Warrior of Liberation, the embodiment of free will."
"In Fish-Man Island's prophecy, he's the warrior who can liberate the future. Or possibly a god."
"He's a sworn enemy of the people over at Pangaea Castle."
"That's about it. I don't really know anything else."
After hearing that, Rayleigh and Shakky exchanged looks.
They had only one thought: this brat was playing dumb.
You call that knowing a little?
You even know about Imu behind the Celestial Dragons, and you know all about the Flower Room.
