Uchiha Puppet Master, Starting from One Piece.

"You can't let your madness continue to hurt others."

Artoria stood still, the light of the Holy Lance slowly dissipating in her hand. The silver-white shaft transformed into starlight, merging into the morning breeze.

She looked down at the spot where Quinn had disappeared, where only a charred mark and a few ashes remained on the ground after being evaporated by the beam of light.

"Science has no end."

She whispered Quinn's last words.

"Perhaps. But if the limits of science are used for destruction, for enslavement, for inflicting suffering..."

She paused.

"Then such science is worse than no science at all."

She turned around, her silver-white armor reflecting a soft halo in the morning light.

Her hair swayed gently in the breeze, a few strands catching the dust of the battlefield, yet it did nothing to diminish the holy aura surrounding her.

Artoria's gaze swept across the battlefield and looked into the distance.

There, there are even more powerful enemies.

There, there are companions who need her protection.

She gripped the sword in her hand tightly, and the holy sword "Excalibur" was once again enveloped by the Wind King's Barrier. Transparent wind blades flowed across the blade, emitting a deep hum.

"Let's go."

She strode towards the battlefield between Bai Yu and Kaido.

After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and looked back at the scorched earth.

"Quinn, your science is indeed very strong. Your virus, your poison gas, your modifications... each one is enough to drive ordinary people to despair."

Her voice was very soft, so soft that it sounded like she was speaking to someone who no longer existed.

"But your science is missing something."

"A heart dedicated to protection."

"When you use science to hurt others, science becomes a curse."

"Science is truly powerful when you use it to protect others."

She turned her head and continued walking forward.

"May you understand this principle in your next life."

Rewind slightly to the time when Artoria and Quinn were fighting, on the other side of the battlefield.

Retsu Unohana stood beside Jack, looking down at the huge figure lying in a pool of blood.

Jack's body was no longer human. It was covered in wounds, blood, and broken bones.

Blood was still seeping from the hole in his chest where Unohana had pierced him, but his heart continued to beat stubbornly.

"Drought" Jack.

A monster with a bounty of one billion Berries.

His will certainly deserves the bounty.

Unohana Retsu's lips curved into a smile, a smile that contained not mockery, but only a hint of appreciation.

"You're still alive because I told you I wouldn't let you die."

"Just lie there and wait for this war to end. Your fate is up to destiny."

She turned around and walked towards the center of the battlefield.

The Zanpakuto at her waist swayed gently with her steps, its ancient patterns shimmering with a dark red light in the morning glow.

Unohana Retsu's face still bore that gentle smile.

But a glimmer of hope finally appeared in those eyes.

"That man named Jin...I heard he's from the Lunaria race?"

She spoke to herself very softly, as if she were talking to herself.

"A legendary race, capable of surviving in any environment..."

"I wonder how good his swordsmanship is."

A smile curved her lips.

"I hope you won't let me down."

She quickened her pace and headed towards the center of the battlefield.

The center of the battlefield.

Kaido and Shiraha faced off.

Kaido stood there, his enormous body like a mountain, pressing down on everything around him.

His body was covered in scales, and he had two curved horns on his head. He held a wine jug in the corner of his mouth, and the wine dripped from his mouth onto the ground, making a "hissing" sound.

He held a huge spiked club in his hand—"Eight Precepts".

The rod was covered with sharp spikes, each one sharp enough to tear through steel.

He exuded a terrifying aura.

That's Kaido, the "King of Beasts".

The world's strongest creature.

A monster with a bounty of 4.611 billion Berries.

The two men faced off, neither making the first move.

A suffocating sense of oppression filled the air, like the calm before a storm.

At this moment, Retsu Unohana arrived at the battlefield and her eyes met those of a man named Jin.

Chapter 212 Ashes

"Is my opponent that masked man?"

Unohana Yachiru raised her head and looked at King, who was standing behind Kaido.

Jin stood there, like a silent mountain.

He wore a black leather jacket with metal armor. He wore a mask that covered his face, revealing only his eyes.

Behind him grew a pair of enormous wings, covered with black feathers, from which burned red flames.

He had a long knife hanging at his waist, and the handle seemed to be engraved with ancient patterns.

Queen the Plague is still fighting, while Jack the Drought has fallen, so King the Flame has become the only remaining major figure in the Beasts Pirates.

His bounty is 1.39 billion Berries.

It is taller than Quinn.

Higher than Jack.

He is Kaido's most trusted man and the number two member of the Beasts Pirates.

His strength is unfathomable.

Unohana Retsu walked up behind Shiraha and stopped.

She looked at Kaido.

“Mr. Kaido, I will not interfere in your battle with that Mr. Shiraha.”

Her voice is very gentle, which is her consistent characteristic.

“However, the masked man behind you, who is the number two in your group, is my prey.”

She paused.

You wouldn't object, would you?

Kaido looked at her and a smile spread across his face.

"up to you."

His voice was hoarse and deep.

"Anyway, my opponent is that guy who defeated Lingling, and I won't be polite to him."

He paused.

"However, your name is Unohana Yachiru, right? Don't die, you seem to be a pretty good woman."

“Jin is not the same kind of guy as Jack.”

Unohana Retsu's lips curved into a smile.

"That's none of your concern. The captain is a very scary guy, you know."

She turned around and walked towards Jin.

Kaido watched her figure, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes; he was very interested in this woman.

"This woman... is truly extraordinary."

He said in a low voice, then turned to look at Bai Yu.

"Alright, the troublesome person is gone."

He raised his spiked club and charged at Bai Yu.

"Now, let's begin!"

Bai Yu raised his sword and blocked Kaido's spiked club.

The swords and clubs clashed with a loud bang, sparks flying everywhere.

The ground exploded with a deafening roar, sending debris flying in all directions.

The battle between the two began.
