章 77: A Struggle For Control

.....

This was frustrating.

Ever since I had lost control of my body. I've been stuck in this ghost-like form inside my head, trying my hardest to fix my sea of conciousness. It was, after all, the only thing that could trap Ghidorah. As far as I know, I don't think there is another way to make Ghidorah stop controlling my body.

Right now, Ghidorah had just destroyed another meteor that bastard Shiki had sent our way. It didn't help that Ghidorah was making his way to the Marine fleet to pick a fight with Sengoku and Garp.

However, what infuriated me the most was the fact that Stussy was currently Shiki's hostage. I was livid looking at the way Shiki was holding her, but I couldn't do anything. More specifically, Ghidorah wouldn't have let me do anything. It was quite the frustrating situation I was in.

Meanwhile, my sea of conciousness had been rebuilding for quite a bit. It wasn't fast, however, it wasn't slow either. It seemed to be going at just a speed that could barely be called avarage. It was going to be a headache to lock Ghidorah back up. From the way things were looking, I would need an event similar to what Shiki had done to me before I had lost control.

It was obvious that this wasn't something that Shiki could have done on his own. Right now, if it wasn't for the adrenaline, he would probably be uncouncious due to his injuries. Hir right shoulder was in absolute shambles. Not to mention those minor injuries that piled up while he was fighting Ghidorah, his internal organs were probably in severe condition as well.

Ghidorah slowly turned his gaze back to the Marine fleet, it seemed that his next target was already set in stone. I needed to move quickly and keep building my sea of conciousness while they fought. I know that Sengoku and Garp have quite the formidable power, but I don't know whether or not they can manage to harm Ghidorah to the point he loses control of my body. This especially was the case considering the fact that he could also regenerate way more faster than I ever could. I could only wish Sengoku and Garp for the best.

As for Shiki......I'd be dealing with him later.

Sengoku and Garp immediately lunged at us, Garp took the initiative and threw a devastating punch right at Ghidorah's gut. Ghidorah grunted in pain before using his tail to swat Garp right out of the sky and back to the Marine Fleet. However, Sengoku came up with a counter-attack and directly landed a shockwave right on Ghidorah's chest. The blast sent us back quite heavily, and I could feel Ghidorah's pain aching right on my chest. As if I was still in control of my body.

Shiki would take the oppurtunity to chuck random heavy objects at the dragon whenever he got the chance. He couldn't use both his arms because one was technically useless thanks to Ghidorah, and the other was clutching onto Stussy's neck, who seemed to be losing oxygen as time went by.

My worries for her were beginning to grow more and more as I saw her normal pale face grow to a lighter shade of blue. Anxiety radiated from my soul as I sped up the process for building my sea of concious. I think Ghidorah must have noticed some form of discomfort within him, because he roared in frustration before turning all six of his eyes to meet Shiki's. This was all happening while Garp and Sengoku were doing their best in attacking Ghidorah.

Ghidorah was about to attack Shiki when I heard Garp and Sengoku yell behind us.

"BODHISATTVA!!!" Sengoku yelled.

"UNIVERSAL IMPACT!!!!!!!!!" Garp yelled.

Both attacks hit Ghidorah's back simultaneously, each with enough power to destroy major components of the dragon's body. Moreover, it managed to knockout Ghidorah's conciousness, making me immediately stop what I was doing and grab back control over my body. It felt great to have literall arms and legs. Even though I was still in my draconic form, but the pain I experienced was like no other.

All three heads of mine roared in immense pain, I released a burst of Conqurer's haki to make all the adversaries back off. My injuries began to heal quickly as I continued my roar, I needed to make a quick escape with Stussy. I didn't want to be paying impel down a visit anytime soon, so I immediately conjured another storm. The clouds barely managed to cover my large draconic figure, but it still managed to serve its purpose.

Sengoku, Garp and Shiki immediately used their Observation haki to sense my presence. I shrunk back to my normal form before lunging at Shiki, time was not on my side. Deep in my sea of conciousness, I could feel Ghidorah sturring from its slumber. The minute he was to break out of my incomplete sea of conciousness, it would be a struggle to keep him in. I needed to get back on the ship and meditate. I pulled out Labrys and slashed down at Shiki as fast as I could. However, because he had already detected my movement using Observation haki, he brought the now unconcious Stussy in front of Labrys' attack to serve as a shield.

I pulled Labrys back immediately and kicked her away from Shiki, she then promptly began to fall down to the sea. I raised Labrys and immediately channeled lightning to perform Fulgur Mortium on Shiki. He raised his left arm and coated it with Haki just as the attack landed on his guard, but the impact led him flying away to the distance. I didn't have time to think about that though.

I quickly dove down to catch the still unconcious Stussy, who was nearing the surface of the sea. I managed to catch her in time, but Sengoku and Garp seemed to have other ideas. My Observation haki flashed as I ducked to dodge a roundhouse punch coming from Garp, but I couldn't avoid Sengoku's large Buddha palm hitting my spinal cord and sending me flying across the sea. I spat out a mouthful of blood as I held on to Stussy for dear life. I need her to wake up if we're going to have a chance to get out of here.

Garp's next attack was aiming for my torso, I quickly threw Stussy and Labrys in the air as hard as I could before side stepping to avoid it. Sensing Sengoku approaching from behind I immediately turned and sent a haki infused kick his way. He raised his golden arms coated in haki to block the attack. However, the force of the kick was more than enough to send him back a few meters. Stussy and Labrys promptly began to fall from the altitude that I had sent them flying.

Moreover, Garp was initiating his next attack. So I immediately dodged Garp's straight jab and grabbed his outstretched arm before throwing him Sengoku's way. Sengoku immediately caught Garp, but I had already grabbed Labrys and Stussy. I stared at Sengoku for a bit before I said a few words.

"I'm not going to let you arrest me, but thank you for stopping me." I bowed my head slightly before kicking off towards my ship using moonwalk. Stussy's complexion was slowly getting better, but I needed a ship's doctor to verify that she is okay. As for me, I needed a LOT of meditation to do. Ghidorah had woken up, and he was not happy.
