Around the world, many news birds spread newspapers around every corner and many people read through each article with great interest hoping to learn about the various changes.
Within Kano there was an old man surrounded by his two grandsons who read it carefully.
Chinjao broke into a fit of laughter as he caught sight of Alyssia's name and portrait. "Look! She is keeping to her word, not that much time has passed and she is already making a name for herself in a big way!"
Sai looked at his grandfather and sighed. "Do you really wish for revenge that much to put her against Garp? After all, she is your prized student…"
Chinjao became serious. "This rage cannot be extinguished… I must have revenge. There is no harm in putting this on her shoulders since I believe in her potential but if she fails I can always go after his bloodline."
A fierce murderous aura burst forth from his body but then he suppressed it and began coughing.
Boo patted his back. "Take it easy gramps… we still have to look into many matters outside of the country. It seems that our enemies have not given up yet."
Chinjao sighed. "I wonder why they are so persistent…"
After winning the war with Alyssia's help, Kano had a short time of peace but old enemies began to resurface once again as if they had been given new life and purpose.
It was as if someone had given or sold them something that would let them believe they could be successful the next attempt or the time after so long as they kept receiving what they needed to wage war.
Although the Chinjao family had not yet investigated who was behind the arms trade and the continued wars between many countries, they had begun to suffer once again because of it and would later find themselves travelling to Dressrosa to its source years later.
One big victory only helped to halt the war for a small amount of time and give them all a small break and everything returned to how it was supposed to be with a couple of small differences in the details.

In an unknown island, a large figure cut the head from another who was kneeling down and many others were burned, crushed, poisoned or electrocuted.
Judge caught the falling newspaper and began to read then he suddenly became serious. "It seems that she has quite a lot of potential.. this kind of potential in a sixteen year old kid is worth watching. If I knew it sooner, I may have studied her so I could create an even more powerful warrior."
He then shook his head. "No.. modified humans are superior and it will be difficult for her to surpass them even with that talent."
He then turned to his children. "I want you all to increase your training intensity from now on, although I am happy with your progress so far… I know my creations cannot be so lacking in potential and ability."
Reiju bowed her head and hid the displeasure in her eyes but replied obediently. "Yes father."
However as the newspaper was put down and her father left, her eyes caught sight of Alyssia's photo along with the achievements of White Storm so far after entering the Grand Line for a short time. "No wonder father was disturbed by the news…"
"Let me see!" Niji snatched it from her hands and then rudely tore it up. "Ha! He is worrying over nothing! They are nothing but weaklings."
Reiju sighed as she ignored her brothers. 'Idiot..'
Nothing much had changed since Alyssia's visit as they continued their mercenary work, Reiju was surrounded by her cold hearted brothers and was unable to have her own free will as she could not disobey her father.
Her father was slowly looking into establishing an alliance despite Alyssia's warning but the news article let Judge see that the person who gave him some advice was now growing in power quickly and that made him feel a little threatened and uneasy.
As a king and a soldier, he naturally had his suspicions towards her and he was watching many other forces that existed within the world carefully.
If one emerged that could threaten Germa 66, he would show no mercy if they became an enemy and destroy them before they had a chance to grow.
Instead of taking action, he believed in the children he created with his own scientific research and their true potential so decided to strengthen the training they would have to undergo.
As a result, Germa would grow stronger and would not have to fear her even if she had great potential and a promising future.
However unlike her father, Reiju quite enjoyed the fact that the newspaper article had made her father unnerved but she also enjoyed seeing someone she met making an impact on the world.

On Big Mom's territory, a lion Mink was reading the newspaper and broke into a cold sweat as he felt a presence behind him.
Big Mom looked down at him and spoke. "Mamamama! Hey, what did you say that kids name was again?"
Pekoms began to stutter out of fear. "Ma..ma.m.. mama… I think it was Alyss… Alyssia."
Silently in his heart, he was apologetic towards his fellow Mink but when Big Mom is like this, she is ruthless and unwilling to drop the subject.
Pekoms began to put on a serious look. "Mama, you can't be possibly thinking of replacing me with another Mink or adding another to your collection? You only heed me and I have been loyal to you for a long time!"
Big Mom thought seriously as she remembered that she already had a Mink imprisoned within one of the books in her bookcase and she already had Pekoms who could use Haki so she quickly grew bored and lost interest.
As she walked away, Pekoms wiped the sweat from his brow. 'So scary… this is the most I can do for you. Please stop causing me further worry!'
Meanwhile Big Mom returned to her room and looked towards her daughter Pudding with a look of disgust before concealing her true thoughts. 'This one is not too far from reaching a marriageable age so she can soon be used to form an alliance or gain something within a couple of years. So useless, she has not yet awakened her ability yet!'
Her mind went back to the image of Alyssia in the newspaper article. 'If that girl can show further potential and ability she may be worth marrying into the family. Which one of my sons is unmarried and at an acceptable age? Hmm..'
Although Alyssia had escaped her plots for the time being, it did not mean that she would not set her sights on her in the future and Big Mom was already considering the future marriage for Pudding.
Certain events could not be stopped so easily and if Judge continued to ignore Alyssia's warning or not take it so seriously then events would begin to unfold like the original.

In the land of Wano, Kaido read the article while drinking. "It seems like this girl has potential and dreams to stand at the very top.. but first she must get past me! I await your challenge.. hic..do not let me be bored if you do come..hic!"
As someone who is undefeated in single combat, Kaido always welcomed a challenge and enjoyed a good fight.
To him the news was not so important since Alyssia may even die very soon before reaching her full potential if she was unlucky but if she survived and wished to reach the peak of the world, he would someday clash against her and let him satisfy his love of combat.
Not many could truly challenge him in the world and Whitebeard is now old and sick, his relationship with Big Mom is usually on and off at times then there was Shanks who became the forth Emperor but he rarely got a chance to meet him in person as he was stuck on Wano most of the time.
He remembered Oden and Toki's warning from many years ago and he was aware that a new age was coming soon, when a new era opened up there would be much war and bloodshed so he put his efforts into preparing for that time and watched the emerging talents.
