Chapter 176: Arc 12: The Fierce Fight Begins! The 'D' Brothers vs. Hody
"Tornado of Water!" in her 'Zora Hydromancer Robe', Sasha trapped Hody within a water hurricane before he could attack Shirahoshi after taking out Decken.
"Selena-sama." Manboshi looked at the Dragon Empress' reincarnation who had joined them in battle. "He killed Decken. What's going on between those two?"
"We can't worry about that now." Ryuboshi reminded, Hody freeing himself from the water hurricane. "He's coming."
"Put on the Scales of Poseidon." Sasha told the two brothers. "We need all the firepower available."
"Right." Ryuboshi nodded and the two siblings produced their Sea General Scales. "Sea Horse Scale."
"Cetus Scale." Manboshi donned on his new armor.
"You're in my way." Hody glared and knocked both brothers out of the way. "You worthless beings."
"God's Breath!" Ryuboshi let loose a blast of air from his mouth and fired it at Hody, the attack merely only managed to force Hody off-course. "Shirahoshi, run away as fast as you can." he shouted.
"Eliminating you will be a simple matter now that you are out of the Hard Shell Tower." Hody renewed his chase.
Hoe turned back to attack Hody, only to be knocked off by the Fish-Man's trident.
"Water Pressure Blade!" Sasha released her pressurized water projectiles to slow Hody down.
"Selena-sama, leave him to us." Ryuboshi requested, both brothers were now facing Hody, weapons drawn. "Please take care of Shirahoshi."
"The two of you do realize that with Decken dead, the Noah will fall back onto Fish-Man Island, right?" Sasha reminded. "And the only way to prevent that from happening is to fully awaken the Poseidon's real power."
"We knew this day would come." Manboshi replied. "And have waited for a long time. So please, if awakening Shirahoshi's ability is what it takes to save Fish-Man Island, then do it."
"Yes." Sasha nodded and took off after Shirahoshi.
"Hody!" Luffy roared on Fukaboshi's back. "Gomu Gomu no Snake Shot!" he extended his arm and clamped onto Hody's chest.
"Fukaboshi-nii-sama, Luffy-sama, Ace-sama." Shirahoshi beamed at her rescuers.
"Forgive me." Fukaboshi apologized. "I was unavoidably delayed while I was making some preparations."
"You darn scum." Hody growled.
"My power really does drop in the ocean." Luffy mused.
"What was your first clue?" Ace sweatdropped.
"Your power dropped?" Hody echoed. "Inferior trash! Do you realize where we are? We're in the deep sea. A mere human doesn't even have a one to thousand chance of winning. Besides, everything will be over soon." he glanced at the falling Noah. "Shirahoshi, Fish-Man Island, and your companions: a weakling like you can't protect any of them."
"You're wrong." Luffy grinned. "We'll protect them all. That's what the last two years were for."
"Shirahoshi." Sasha caught up with the Mermaid Princess.
"Sasha-sama." Shirahoshi blinked as the smaller female floated in front of her.
"We don't have much time" Sasha stated. "Do you trust me?"
"Yes." Shirahoshi nodded.
"Good." Sasha nodded and revealing a glowing shakujō-shaped pendant in her open palm. "Then, let's start. Sacred symbol of Poseidon, this child will carry forth the Will." she chanted, as the ritual circle of Poseidon enlarged underneath the two females
"Stop, I won't allow you!" Hody rushed to stop the ritual.
"Her name is Shirahoshi. I command you to bestow her rightful powers." Sasha continued, the energy pulsing from the ritual circle throwing Hody back. "Shirahoshi, take the shakujō." she instructed as the metallic staff enlarged in size. "I, Sasha, the reborn Queen Selena, name Shirahoshi the new Poseidon!"
