It's clearly a crossover game, but the system insists it's a pirate game.

Wang Shenglan was dumbfounded and stopped.

But Xiao Ma was stubborn. If one punch didn't work, he'd throw two, three. As long as he kept hitting, it would eventually work.

The idea was good and correct, but Zhou Ye wouldn't give him the chance. With a finger covered in Armament Haki, he flicked his head...

The martial arts version of the anti-addiction system has been relaunched.

"Now, can you listen to me properly?"

The three heads nodded in perfect unison, just like the large bumps on their heads.

"I'm here to investigate a case—the murder case at the Great King Escort Agency. After learning that Wang Wanwu had a daughter who survived, we asked around, and that's how I found you. Do you understand?"

What do you mean you understood it? You're even more confused now, okay?

But Wang Shenglan nodded; she dared not admit that she hadn't understood...

"We found out that the other party was a master swordsman, so we arrested Baili Changqing. After interrogation, he was found to be innocent. Don't get agitated. I've inquired, and he does have an alibi for the time of the incident. The other party was indeed after the Overlord Spear, so you are not safe right now."

Wang Shenglan did not express her opinion, but her meaning was clear: she wanted to take revenge herself, rather than relying on external forces, or even the power of the government.

"If you can be sure of your safety, then I'll be happy to cooperate. The case will continue to be investigated. You can take revenge yourself, but the one who solves the case will definitely be my wife. Can you accept that?"

Zhou Ye could understand. Such a deep-seated hatred would not be satisfied unless it was avenged by one's own hands, so he was willing to give Wang Shenglan this opportunity.

Wang Shenglan understood and was very grateful: "Thank you, senior, I..."

"Why call me 'senior'? Call me 'brother'!" Zhou Ye patted his chest proudly. "My name is Zhou Ye, and my wife is Wuqing from the Four Great Constables. We're temporarily staying at the Yuelai Inn. If you need anything, you can find us there, or..."

Zhou Ye's tone turned serious: "Every few days, you can go there to see me. I will share the latest progress with you and give you enough time. But now, you have to leave."

Before Wang Shenglan could react, Ding Xi grabbed her and Xiao Ma by the arm and ran. After running for a dozen steps, Wang Shenglan couldn't help but look back and saw that Zhou Ye, who had just been standing there, had been surrounded by a group of men in black.

"Go, don't go back."

Ding Xi pulled her forcefully: "That person isn't an ordinary person. I'll tell you more once we're in a safe place!"

After Zhou Ye introduced himself, Wang Shenglan and Xiao Ma still didn't know who he was. However, Ding Xi thought of someone. So it wasn't that he was being disloyal, but that he couldn't stay and become a burden to the other party.

That was a ruthless woman who could kill the Great Joyful Bodhisattva with a single finger; he was afraid that if he stayed, he would be accidentally injured...

"Everyone, I am still a kind person. Each of you can leave a last message."

Unfortunately for them, the men in black were unmoved. Their leader brandished his sword and shouted, "Kill!"

Zhou Ye sighed. This last word was really not very good... With a flicker, his body disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was right next to the leader, and the big, sharp knife had pierced through the other's heart.

And this was just the beginning. In less than ten seconds, all the men in black died in the same way as their leader. They were all stabbed in the side by Zhou Ye with a knife, piercing their hearts. The way they all died was the same, and even the location of the stab was the same, all below the third rib on the right side...

In the world of One Piece, swordsmanship is similar to basic swordsmanship in this multi-sword world. It includes techniques like slashing, thrusting, and multi-sword styles. If you only use techniques, you'll die every time you encounter an opponent.

But if you add strength and speed, it's a different story. All the previous weaknesses become strengths, and every move can become the sharpest assassination technique in the dark.

After testing his skills, Zhou Ye returned to the inn. Seeing that Wuqing was already asleep, he lay down next to her, scooped her up in his arms, and then closed his eyes and fell asleep as well.

As dawn broke, Wuqing woke up. She glanced at her side, her face flushed slightly, and then rolled up the blanket. Luckily, the weather hadn't been cold lately, and the silly man was thick-skinned; otherwise, he would have definitely gotten sick.

Without a word, she quickly covered Zhou Ye with the blanket, then walked to the wheelchair, sat down, and went out to have the waiter prepare breakfast.

Zhou Ye turned over and went back to sleep. He wasn't interested in investigating cases, and he knew who the murderer was. Gui Dongjing was just a nobody, but the Azure Dragon Society behind him was a real behemoth.

Although I'm not afraid, it's really unnecessary. Wuqing is said to be one of the Four Great Constables, but he has no rank or grade. The main target of the Azure Dragon Society is the dynasty and the world. Is this the kind of opponent that a constable with no rank or grade should be able to handle?

We'll do as much as we're paid for. Wuqing has no need to know about the Green Dragon Society's affairs. This case ends with Gui Dongjing.

If the members of the Azure Dragon Society are sensible, that's fine. But if they are not, they will not only face their own anger, but the anger of all the crew members on their ship!

Gui Dongjing was good at hiding his true intentions, but he was not dealing with normal opponents. Zhou Ye knew this all along, while Wang Shenglan and the others were like a madman beating a master. They didn't follow any rules, and their chaotic attacks allowed them to uncover the truth in a very short time.

When Zhou Ye saw them again at the inn, he found that although they looked a bit disheveled, they were in good spirits.

Zhou Ye stuffed a small healing pill into each of their mouths: "Heal your injuries first, then go find the murderer to take revenge. Once you're ready, I'll tell you who the murderer is."

Wang Shenglan let out a long breath, placed the Overlord Spear across her lap, and then entered a meditative state, using her internal energy to enhance the medicinal properties.

Ding Xi glanced at Zhou Ye in surprise, then said nothing and began to circulate his qi to enhance the medicinal effects.

Only Xiao Ma, after taking the medicine, kept his eyes wide open, staring at Zhou Ye without moving. After sitting for a while, he would scratch his butt...

In half a day, apart from Xiao Ma, Wang Shenglan and Ding Xi had fully recovered. After Zhou Ye treated them to a meal, he revealed Gui Dongjing's name and identity. Ding Xi remained silent, but Wang Shenglan's eyes were still so firm.

After that, Zhou Ye didn't get involved anymore. He pushed Wuqing around every day, taking her wherever the scenery was beautiful or where there was good food. He even took her to a temple to pray for a child, which made Wuqing so angry that she almost gave up hiding herself and jumped up to kick him in the stomach.

Wuqing is also a smart woman. How could she not see through Zhou Ye's obvious actions?

However, since Zhou Ye didn't say anything, she was happy to play dumb. It wasn't until she saw the three young men covered in wounds that Wuqing patted Zhou Ye on the shoulder, then wrote a letter of introduction for the three men, sending them to the Divine Marquis's Mansion in Kyoto.

As one of the Four Great Constables, she had essentially retired, which naturally weakened the Divine Constable's Mansion. Sending these three to the mansion would not only allow them to replace her and bolster the mansion's strength, but it would also provide a good place for these young people. At least, they still had a sense of justice, didn't they?

But after seeing the outsiders off... Wuqing stared at Zhou Ye expressionlessly, saying nothing, just staring...
