Uchiha Puppet Master, Starting from One Piece.

He looked down at his broken tail, his left eye filled with disbelief.

"My tail... my strongest attack..."

"You couldn't even break through her defenses?"

Artoria looked at him, her eyes as calm as a still lake.

"Your attack is indeed very strong."

Her voice was very soft, so soft that it sounded like she was stating a fact.

"But your attack cannot penetrate Avalon's defenses."

She paused.

"Because Avalon is an ideal land far removed from the world."

"In this utopia, no harm can touch me."

A flicker of despair crossed Quinn's eyes.

But a smile quickly spread across his face.

His smile held a hint of madness.

"Alright, since a direct attack won't work, let's try something else."

He took a deep breath and his body suddenly contracted.

It's not a deformation.

It's inhaling.

He inhaled a large amount of air, and his body swelled up like a balloon.

Then, he opened his mouth and exhaled a cloud of purple gas.

It's not a flame.

It's poison gas.

It is the atomized form of his specially made "Ice Ghost Virus," which is an even more powerful poison gas!

This virus can infect an adult in seconds, turning him into a bloodthirsty monster within minutes.

Purple poison gas spread across the battlefield, drifting towards Artoria.

Artoria's brow furrowed slightly.

She tried to back away, but the gas spread too quickly, enveloping her in seconds.

Purple poisonous gas enveloped her body, her armor, and her sword.

Quinn's lips curled into a smile.

"Poison gas is not an attack, little girl."

His voice was hoarse and deep, with a hint of smugness.

"Poisonous gas is a virus."

"Your scabbard can protect against damage, but can it protect against viruses?"

"Viruses are not harmful, they infect."

"It will penetrate your skin, penetrate your breath, penetrate your blood."

"You will become my slave, a monster that only knows how to kill."

His laughter was so loud that it could be heard throughout the entire battlefield.

"At that time, the sword in your hand will be pointed at your own comrades."

"You will kill them, one by one."

"Then, after you sober up, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."

But the next second, his smile froze again.

The purple poisonous gas began to dissipate.

It wasn't blown away by the wind.

It was dispersed by some force.

A soft golden light shone on Artoria's armor.

The light was like a sun, warm and bright, illuminating the entire battlefield.

The purple poisonous gas evaporated in the light, turning into nothingness.

Artoria stood there, sword in hand, looking at Quinn with eyes as calm as a still lake.

Her breathing remained steady.

Her skin was still fair.

Her eyes remained clear.

Quinn's eyes widened suddenly.

"impossible!"

There was a hint of despair in his voice.

"Virus...how could a virus be blocked too?!"

Artoria looked at him and remained silent for two seconds.

Then, she spoke.

"Are you deaf? I told you, Avalon can withstand all external harm."

Her voice was very soft, so soft it sounded like a sigh.

"Viruses are also foreign substances."

"Anything that poses a threat to me, whether it's a physical attack, an energy attack, a toxin, a virus, a curse, or a mental attack..."

"Nothing can penetrate Avalon's protection."

She paused.

"Because Avalon is absolute."

Quinn's lips twitched, and his expression shifted from despair to madness, and from madness to hysteria.

"absolute?"

His voice was hoarse and deep, like the roar of a wounded beast.

Nothing in this world is absolute!

His body suddenly swelled up, growing larger and even more terrifying.

A thick carapace grew on his skin, covered with huge bone spurs.

Three bone hammers grew from his tail, each one larger, heavier, and sharper than the previous ones.

Two rows of new teeth grew in his mouth, each half a meter long and as sharp as a dagger.

"This is my fully transformed form!"

"I don't believe your defense can withstand my full-force attack! Nothing in this world is absolute!!!"

His body lunged forward at a speed so fast that the naked eye could not keep up.

This time, he didn't use his claws, his tail, fire, or poison gas.

He used his body.

His entire body, like a meteorite, crashed into Artoria.

This is his strongest attack – "Brachiosaurus Rush".

Using a body weighing tens of tons to crash into an enemy at supersonic speed, the impact force is enough to destroy a city.

Artoria watched the "meteorite" hurtling towards her, her eyes remaining calm.

She didn't dodge.

She stood there, sword in hand, looking at Quinn with eyes as calm as a still lake.

Quinn's body collided with hers.

No, it didn't hit her.

It hit her about three centimeters in front of her.

It crashed into Avalon's barrier.

The entire battlefield trembled at the moment of impact.

The ground cracked open, and the cracks spread outwards like a giant spider web.

The shockwave tore through the clouds, revealing a clear blue sky.

The tall trees in the distance were uprooted and blown away by the shockwave.

The Beasts Pirates' henchmen were blasted by the shockwave, bleeding from all seven orifices, and collapsed to the ground, their fates unknown.

But Artoria remained standing there.

Her armor was without a single crack.

Her hair was not messed up by the wind.

Her eyes remained calm.

Quinn's body stopped in front of her.

No, it's not a stop.

It was blocked.

His body crashed into Avalon's barrier like an egg hitting a steel plate.

His shell shattered, and fragments flew in all directions.
