Chapter 53 - Niho

The next couple of days continued with the same thing everyday but occasionally she would change her destination from the Happo Navy to challenge the Martial Halls people once again.

She was able to purchase some upgrades to her various skills that she had made breakthroughs in recently and needed to regain some of the points per day.

Challenging the same opponents that she had defeated the next day was also an option to quickly gain points but the limitation was that she could only gained points from that person from one win every day.

She started taking on fights against many opponents at a time and slowly building up her experience before adding additional opponents every time as she increased the difficulty.

Rather than mastering dodging, parrying or blocking attacks, she was gaining more familiarity with attacking and taking the initiative in a fight rather than studying and practicing with her opponents.

Suppressing her true power and fighting instincts wasn't within her nature but to learn and perfect her own style she had to do it that way but as the difficulty increased, she was allowed to drop some of her restraints and fight more freely.

Sometimes she would visit them to just fight a couple of them at once and then change the destination or other times she would return to the gates outside of the Happo Navy.

However this day she was at the gates of another Navy headquarters within Kano with a larger chest that was full of berries that she had won after many challenges.

After making a name for herself within Kano, she still had not heard from the Chinjao family so she felt that she needed to prove herself in another way.

Alyssia thought as she stood by the sign and chest full of berries. 'Chinjao should wish to establish a political marriage to solidify their countries power but also his families stability before he passes away. The Niho Navy were chosen for a reason and that would be either their strength, wealth or their political influence. To be able to have over twenty husbands means that the daughter of the head of this Navy must have a very strong character, a great love for her country or a love for men but possibly a mixture of them. If I show that the I can handle the people of the Niho Navy well enough, perhaps Chinjao may take more of an interest in me.'

If she is able to defeat the people of the Niho Navy who Chinjao wishes to form a political alliance with from the marriage of his grandson and she still does not catch his interest then she really did not know what to do to be able to meet him or his grandsons in person.

Truthfully… her patience was running out!

After defeating another easy couple of opponents and stealing their skills, knowledge and experiences, she leaned back against a wall and revealed a look of irritation as she thought. 'Should I just jump over the walls and infiltrate their camp at night?'

This was not an impossible task according to her thoughts and previous experiences.

Her quick movements and concealment skills were more than enough to be able to sneak inside so long as she did not try to alert anyone by suddenly trying to assassinate someone.

Even Luffy had a hard time locating the Minks within the forest that had completely surrounded him around three years in the future and she had trained with the Guardians by the best of them who were able to accomplish such a feat.

It should be noted that this was before he had advanced his Observation Haki to be able to counter Katakuri's future sight version of Observation Haki so it was never stated if he was able to sense any hidden opponents with his upgraded Haki so she was unsure about what level Chinjao had reached with his own Observation Haki and if he would be able to find her or not.

In the end she shook her head. 'It would be best to not offend him just to get some skills from him even if they are important. It would best to be patient.'

While she was caught up in her thoughts, a blond haired and muscular woman appeared before her with her arms crossed over her chest.

She hard a large square chin and large face that looked similar to the style of the people from the Okama Kingdom.

She revealed a look of interest towards the person opposite her who was also a strong female but also from outside of the country which was revealed by her unique race.

Alyssia looked up towards her and revealed a look of surprise. 'Damn! Why her of all people!'

Uholisia is a character which was shown to be able to beat up Sai severely after their engagement was broken in around three years, to be able to cause so much damage to him even if he did not fight back means that her brute strength is quite high so if she had a bounty then it may be estimated to be between one hundred to three hundred million berries.

Even if this person did or didn't have poor combat skills, she could be praised for being able to build her body up to become so physically strong.

Alyssia quickly closed her eyes and requested the system to collect the skills that were available to be gained from her and then opened her eyes with a look of provocation on her face. "Are you here to take on the challenge? Are you strong enough for me to be able to fight properly this time?"

She had been so tired of holding back her strength against weak opponents after leaving Zou but at the same time, her duels against opponents like Cat Viper were usually too difficult to let her fight to the best of her capabilities because he was able to suppress her with his much higher strength, agility and endurance.

Uholisia smiled upon being provoked. "I just hope that the rumours are not wrong! I have heard many things about you recently and you just had to set my fathers Navy as your next target. Of course I would come to test you."

Alyssia nodded and then asked. "Wager or no wager?"

Uholisia looked at the younger lady with animal like features up and down and then said. "I do not think that we have a need for such things! How about we fight everyday from now on if you can last long enough against me."

Although she did not underestimate her opponent, she still had a feeling that she would come out the winner in the end as she was confident in her skills.

However she had greatly underestimated her opponent, who had great strength hidden within her young and slim body shape.

Alyssia smiled upon receiving her confirmation. "I hope you do not go back on your word. I also wouldn't mind fighting it your strongest fighters in your Navy."

Being able to defeat someone and gain more than one hundred points everyday from her alone was something that she did not wish to miss out on.

Uholisia replied as she charged towards her. "If you wish to get to challenge him then you must defeat me first."

Suddenly a fast paced battle began to take place outside of the gate of the Niho Navy.

Many spear like kicks began to clash head on with Uholisia's combination of kicks, punches and attempts to grapple her at a fast enough speed that it was difficult to catch if viewed by the eyes of ordinary people.

After warning up a little and getting used to her opponents movements, Alyssia laughed happily. "Now I can finally be a little serious."

Suddenly her movements became quicker as she evaded many of the attacks of her opponent using her natural speed advantages and additional leg strength to cover more ground with each step or jump.

Circling and taking advantage of her greatest strengths, she very quickly grasped her many opportunities.

One second she stopped next to the opponent within range for a kick and the next she had jumped up while twisting her body around as her heel struck towards the neck of her opponent.
