Under One Person, the system says I'm the Pirate King.

The man in black trembled with fear, pondering how to answer.

There was a moment of silence.

Upon seeing this, Qin Lang hastily drew his short sword.

The man was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud.

"Sir, spare me!! I'll do anything you ask! Please don't hurt me! I'm just an employee, I wouldn't dare disobey Elder Ten's orders!"

Qin Lang had spent a long time arguing with this person to see if the system could also mistake him for a pirate character.

Based on the previous hatred value, Wang Ai was probably mistaken for Kaido by the system.

Although Qin Lang felt that Wang Ai's fat appearance was no match for Teacher Kai, who was known as the "strongest creature".

But that's what the system said, and he had no choice but to accept it.

It just so happens that Wang Ai's subordinates were mistaken for people who possess artificial animal fruits.

Therefore, Qin Lang guessed that the Wang family might be the Beasts Pirates.

Will everyone inside be mistaken for members of the Beasts Pirates?

After all, in the world of One Piece, Kaido's Beasts Pirates have given most of their members Devil Fruit abilities because of the artificial SMILE Devil Fruits.

Although Qin Lang looked down on these artificial Devil Fruits, they were not only unstable in their abilities but also had side effects, making them inferior even to Chopper's Human-Human Fruit.

However, they were not entirely useless to Qin Lang.

After all, as long as you don't use it yourself, there won't be any side effects.

Fragments can be recycled to exchange for bond points with the system, and synthesized fruits can increase the probability of drawing good fruits from random Devil Fruits.

However, even after pressing the man in black for answers, the system remained unresponsive.

There's no way this lackey in front of me wouldn't hate me.

It seems I was overthinking things.

Since he couldn't earn any more rewards, Qin Lang stopped dawdling and drew his short sword, handing it to the man in black before him.

"Since you say you'll do whatever you want."

Then I'll trust you this once.

Aren't you fast runners?

"Go and cut off that guy's hands and feet, then run quickly and take him to those two old scoundrels, Wang Ai and Lü Ci, and tell them it's a gift from me."

Qin Lang pointed at the man in black lying on the ground and ordered the man in front of him to cut off the man's hands and feet and take them to Prince Lü and the other man.

The man in black in front of him was clearly taken aback for a moment.

He never expected that this young-looking kid would dare to go head-to-head with the Ten Elders!

In addition, he knew that if he did as the other party said, it would be tantamount to completely betraying the Wang family.

So even if I survive now, as a traitor, I'll be killed by the Wang family when I get back.

In other words, no matter which option you choose, it's a life-or-death question.

At that moment, the other party actually offered to give him the weapon.

Hmph, luckily he's just an arrogant brat.

So he used the Qi within his body and pretended to be afraid as he took the knife.

The moment he hesitantly took the knife, he stabbed it straight at Qin Lang, while shouting to his companion:

"Fire! Let's all go together and take this kid back! Otherwise, we'll all die!!"

But before his companion could react...

His limbs had been severed by Qin Lang's [One-Sword Style: Evil Bird], and he lay on the ground.

"It's a real shame you chose the worst path."

Qin Lang sheathed his sword.

With the aid of his swordsmanship, not a single drop of blood stained his blade.

At the same time, he looked at the other man in black who was still kneeling there in a daze:

"Your name is Huowang? You wouldn't happen to have the surname Li, would you?"

"Yes... my surname is Li."

The man was so frightened that he no longer had the courage to make a move.

He lay prone on the ground, answering whatever Qin Lang asked.

"Don't be afraid, I just think your name is well-chosen, it has the air of a great general."

So, I'm going to see those two bastards, Wang Ai and Lü Ci. Can you lead the way?

"able!!"

Li Huowang dared not say no. The lessons learned from the previous two had made him realize that he could neither run away nor fight back, so he could only obey orders.

After dealing with the men in black, Qin Lang turned to look at Zhang Chulan:

"Chu Lan, are you going?"

"Huh?"

Zhang Chulan only came to his senses when he heard Qin Lang call his name.

He noticed the man in black's unfriendly attitude and secretly took out his phone to call Feng Baobao.

But before he could even dial, he saw Qin Lang knock the man down with a single punch.

What puzzled Zhang Chulan the most was...

That punch clearly landed on that person's face.

But his limbs exploded simultaneously, as if they were loaded with bombs.

The man in black was no longer able to fight back, and could only mumble something unintelligible.

This bizarre scene finally reminded him of what Xu Si had said about "being extremely ruthless."

Thinking back to this morning when the opponent used this move on me while I was suspended by the rope, I might not even have had time to use the Golden Light Spell before I was defeated.

She couldn't help but feel more grateful to Qin Lang.

[Affection with Monkey D. Luffy +8, reward: 80 Bond Points.]

Just as I was thinking this, another man in black fell down in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Chulan was stunned by what he saw.

In less than 30 seconds, the two men in black were dealt with.

By now, he had figured out that Qin Lang and Lü Ci and Wang Ai, the two elders, must have some kind of grudge.

His earlier righteous indignation seemed utterly useless.

If it were the old him, he would definitely have refused Qin Lang's invitation.

But then he remembered what the man in black had just said.

Wang Ai and Lü Ci knew their grandfather.

He did not come to the Luotian Grand Ceremony to compete with anyone.

It was only recently that he learned about his grandfather's death and the secret of Feng Baobao's background from Xu Xiang, the former head of the Lubei region.

He came to the Luotian Grand Ceremony to find out the truth.

That's why he hesitated at this moment.

"It's alright, you don't have to go if you don't want to, but don't tell anyone else that I'm going to see the two Ten Elders."

Especially the Lu family; I'll be going back soon, and I don't want them to worry.

Qin Lang said casually.

Hearing this, Zhang Chulan felt as if a child who had just finished school was telling a classmate, "I'm going to the internet cafe to play for a while. Don't tell my mom. I'll be home soon."

That genuine confidence made him completely oblivious to Qin Lang's fear.

Is he just a young calf unafraid of tigers, or does he possess enough strength to face the Ten Elders?

If he can even stand up to the Ten Elders, do I still have a chance of winning if I meet him at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony?

Curiosity about his grandfather's secrets, coupled with his curiosity about Qin Lang, led Zhang Chulan to make a decision contrary to his usual approach:

"Then let me come along too, at least there will be two of us to look after each other."

Qin Lang was somewhat surprised by Zhang Chulan's answer.

After all, in Qin Lang's opinion, Zhang Chulan probably just wanted to live a peaceful and stable life.

This can also be seen from his plan to give up the search for the truth of Jia Shen after the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony in the original work.

But now she actually agreed to go with me.

This made Qin Lang quite curious about his purpose.

But it was just curiosity. Whether Zhang Chulan went or not, it wouldn't change his plan to deal with those two bastards, Wang Ai and Lü Ci.

He had already devised a strategy for this moment while watching Zhuge Qing's match.

"Let's go then."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two seriously injured men in black on the ground floated up to Zhang Chulan and Li Huowang's shocked gazes and followed Qin Lang.
