Heading Out

The conversation continued for some time until Alyssia left behind a way for Zero to contact her.

The time frame to act was not too clear so it seemed like Zero had quite some time to make her decision.

There was enough time for her to look into the White Storm allowing her to make a better decision for herself and herself.

Zero was not fully willing to trust Alyssia right away but the proposal did have its merits that attracted her attention.

She was uncertain if there would be any problems that would arise should the White Storm set up a base in the Mercy Kingdom which she wanted to help save.

She did not know whether the involvement of the White Storm would put the Mercy Kingdom in an even worse state than ever before so she needed the time to think it all over carefully.

Alyssia returned to where she was staying temporarily and was assisting Jester with some things before she was preparing to set sail again.

She was outside and a very small crowd of people formed a queue.

Once one person had reached the front, she asked their name and their amount betted as if to confirm their identity and authenticity of their claim.

Papers were in front of her containing many of the bets placed so there was no way anyone would be able to make a false claim without her missing it.

A fight broke out in the middle of the street as the figure of her new opponent charged at her.

Their fist was raised and went towards her stomach which they could reach better than her face due to her taller size than them. "Haa!"

The arm of Alyssia stretched out and caught the fist feeling the force behind the punch. "You fail."

The next moment the man was sent flying back without knowing when Alyssia had attacked.

It was the same for everyone else that challenged Alyssia and were brave enough to do so after witnessing her defeat others with ease.

Each opponent was defeated in one or two moves with them being unable to cause a single scratch upon her body.

The use of Haki was not even needed against such opponents and her body was enough to get the job done.

Once she had completed what she set out to do, she left some tasks to Jester before departing.

Anyone that wished to challenge her to gain the berries they had earned were given more than enough time to step forward before her departure.

Alyssia arrived back on the MMA and looked at her new skills which were a mix of many kinds of useful skills related to the underworld or management of resources and so on.

Each skill purchased had helped her to spend a lot of her Reputation Points before more had begun to come once again thanks to her rising popularity. "These skills should be very handy towards better understanding how I want to run the White Storm.

It will be useful for raising my own kingdom one day and deciding on what kind of place it will become. The land on the back of Ness should have expanded a lot and there should have been some further development even without me being there.

What is needed is for there to be a cleared direction for the island I want to make and what kind of place the White Storm will have in the world. For now though.. what should I do? Some more research? Hmm…"

She thought for some time before going back to conduct some of her experiments furthering her progress in different fields.

She was getting closer and closer to her desired goals of creating something beyond what others had ever created before but the closer she got to it, the more routes she had seen before her opening up new routes of discoveries.

What she thought was impossible became possible so long as she had what she needed and all that she needed was the necessary skills and knowledge to help the system fill in the gaps.

Once she started to explore the new possibilities and encountered failures, that new data would be compiled further to be applied to everything else the system had collected allowing for a solution to appear much faster even if it was to give some small suggestions to test out.

Months and months of accumulating new skills, knowledge and results from each experiment brought forth new possibilities which required much more funds.

Those needed funds were provided so she was ready to begin the next stage of developing everything to the next level.

Among the many pods that had been left sealed up and had not been unsealed yet were some new forms that were completely new to the world.

Some had human forms, others animals and some seemed to possess something within them that made them resemble something between man and machine.

Among the research based skills that Alyssia collected in the past from Vegapunk, there were still fresh insights and knowledge about not just the Pacifista Project but also another one that further developed that project creating a new mechanical and organic life form.

Within that information was the research on the Lineage Factor including many other more detailed designs of different races including Kuma who was listed as the Buccaneer Tribe which possessed Giant blood within them.

Another set of data came with detailed knowledge of the Lineage Factor of Kaido and King which was very important towards furthering that research.

King's Lunarian Lineage Factor was applied to a project called the Seraphim Project and Kaido's Lineage Factor was applied to the Dragon Devil Fruit research and the creation of some dragons on Punk Hazard.

Once Alyssia gained enough of an understanding of them and had collected an additional sample of Yamato's Lineage Factor, she was able to further her research.

Alyssia went on to create several new species and races upon getting a better grasp over the collected knowledge and skills so they started coming out with new and interesting results.

Among them was a sleeping creature that was curled up and still growing after being contained for a long time.

It had a furry body that had patches of greyish white and pure white fur, oni horns were on its head and it looked very wild and powerful.

If it was awakened from its slumber and was provoked then it was unknown how much destruction it would let loose.

There were traces of the Sulong within it which had been mixed with traces of the Lunarians granting them the advantages of both races.

The Lunarian Lineage Factor gave the ability to manipulate and generate fire while possessing one of the most durable bodies in the world.

The Lineage Factor of the Lunarians helped to overcome a flaw within the Mink and Sulong Race so once the two were combined, heat and fire no longer became a problem.

Fire abilities were added to Electro granting thunder fire generation and manipulation abilities which meant that the sleeping beast was the most powerful and unique creature in the world to exist so far.

Its body had been further improved from the addition of the Oni Lineage Factor that strengthened the brute strength it possessed and the scales it gained over its body gained from her research into dragons and the Dragon Lineage Factor gained from the Dragon Devil Fruit Research and Kaido.

There seemed to be black wings on its back and a mane around its neck which were features that came from the Lunarians and the Sulong.

The scales hidden beneath the long fur was from the dragon research and the oni horns was the feature that showed that the data gained from Kaido and Yamato had been put into it too.

It was something Alyssia was looking forward to having among her collection of pets but that was not all that had existed within the remaining pods.

Some had similar features as they had more of a human form making them a completely new race on their own.

Those that were made with the Seraphim Project as a basis became the first success to surpass even Vegapunks creations then a slightly downgraded humanoid race was born without the advantages of the Seraphim but had more human traits rather than the Seraphim that possessed mechanical characteristics too.

There was even some research done on the Lineage Factor that Alyssia had collected from Blackbeard and others of his crew which further helped to discover new routes.

One among them was the possibility of creating another dual Devil Fruit user but it still needed more looking into since only Blackbeard was known to possess that ability so there was nobody else to compare it with who possessed the same ability.
