After Alyssia had escaped from Alabasta unharmed, Crocodile put her to the back of his mind as he continued to focus on his current plan and he soon found himself very busy.
He was much too busy to worry about matters of the White Storm especially with the ongoing problems involving princess Vivi and the Straw Hat Pirates that would later cause him many problems.
After Luffy and his crew had defeated the Arlong Pirates, they continued onward through the East Blue and had many adventures through Logue Town, Clockwork Island, Warship Island before entering the Grand Line through Reverse Mountain.
They arrived in the Grand Line, met Laboon, entered Whisky Peak and encountered princess Vivi which lead them to their next destinations that finally lead to Alabasta whether it be Little Garden and Drum Island.
After escaping the Marines with the help on Bon Clay, they experienced many adventures whether it be part of the Goat Island Arc, Dead End Adventure, The Cursed Holy Sword and Rulaka Island Arc before finally arriving at Jaya Island after failing to locate the next island which was in the sky above.
The many adventures that they went on after receiving an upgrade to Luffy's bounty let Alyssia have more than enough time to pack her things and be thoroughly prepared before she was sent towards Jaya Island where she waited for their arrival while remaining out of the conflict zones where Bellamy and other pirate groups were constantly causing trouble.
She occasionally came into the city for some fresh ingredients but remained in disguise as her tail wrapped around her lower body.
However eventually the atmosphere began to change a little as the Blackbeard Pirates entered Jaya Island, Doc Q fed people explosive apples, Jesus Burgess kept boating about his strength in public and many other situations kept happening which made Alyssia aware of their presence and that the time would soon come for Luffy and his crew to arrive along with the new crew member Nico Robin.
From far away she located the Going Merry as it entered the docks of the island and she saw as Luffy and Blackbeard each entered a building as they started arguing over which pie was the best.
Outside of the building, Alyssia walked by and closed her eyes as she purchased the skill belonging to Blackbeard which was the knowledge that he would later use to his advantage as he created a Devil Fruit stealing crew that goes around killing and stealing the Devil Fruits abilities from the dead bodies.
The knowledge involved also contained a lot about various Devil Fruits that are rare or are ranked as the strongest along with some of their abilities and uses so Alyssia was pleased with her purchase as she left to go closer to old man Cricket's home after she collected as much as she could from the Boackbeard Pirates whether it be Burgess's martial arts which cost her nothing due to her skill level being at expert mastery or some of Doc Q's medical knowledge which drained her points a bit.
She also collected some skills from the Straw Hat Pirates and the other crews around to improve upon the skills that she had if there was a chance that anything was missing.
The most useful purchase that she had made from Burgess was the unique martial arts which created shockwaves with his body like his Shockwave Elbow and Galleon Lariat which she planned to use to use to further improve upon the various unique skills in martial arts that she had.
No matter how annoying Burgess may seem to her, she would not underestimate him since although he lost to Sabo, he was able to take hits from Whitebeard's and Sengoku's Devil Fruit abilities during the war without suffering much damage.
If she caught his eye then it would be unknown if she could defeat him yet and his crew members were all around him which made it all the more dangerous when she did not yet wish to appear in their or others eyes.
As she escaped out of everyone's detection range and settled down without causing any problems she then thought to herself. 'That guy Burgess so likes going around and boasting a lot.. Champion this.. Champion that… just wait. That precious champions belt. Heh heh. I will take it from you."
As Luffy met up with Cricket and the brothers, his ship was undergoing changes so Alyssia waited for her chance when the crew were looking for the bird that they needed as she approached the ship when the other as were distracted or elsewhere. "This should do."
Alyssia took a crowbar from her backpack and loosened the wood planks on the deck flooring as she opened up a big enough whole to climb into the ship area underneath the main deck before putting them back in place as if they had not been moved.
She lay back and started to study the new knowledge and skills that she had gained with her eyes closed with the assistance of the system.
Soon she found many similarities between some of the movements with Eight Impact Fist, Elbaf Spear, Fishmen Karate, Jesus Burgess's shockwave style and others like Tempest Kick, Finger Pistol and the seventh power named Six King Gun which made it much easier to create an ultimate move from each of them upon being combined together and used with her lower body martial arts.
Even when she found that her martial arts was halting and showing no improvements, a new opportunity appeared which let her spot where she still had some flaws and could improve.
Perhaps it was because she had yet to run into or challenge many high level end bosses that she had been stuck as she was.
Compared to the mid level or slightly high level people that she had met, there were always those that were at the top and had their own ways to get there be it refined martial arts, special techniques or special knowledge to help them improve quickly.
Just because she had many skills and unique ones, she had become a little complacent with what she had mostly gained from those with a much lower rank or bounty than commanders, admirals or the Four Emperors.
While she was lost in thought, she thought to herself. 'Then I need to find a chance to get close to not just the Blackbeard Pirates but perhaps also the Admirals and others who are already at the very top.'
Even the Seven Powers were at a very high mastery which she had collected from Water Seven but that did not mean each of them were perfect enough too, although Rob Lucci was their best genius in the many styles, there was always one person within CP0 who had greater abilities and focussed towards one or two specialisations.
Since she had already paid for the skills, it would not cost her to gain them from those she may of encountered, Who's Who is just another example of that as he had developed his own style of combat which created biting wind blades and other attacks with his Zoan Devil Fruit transformation which were inspired by the wind based attacks of Tempest Kick and Finger Pistol.
The more she increased her stats and the more that she grew up, the more she could see herself being able to further grasp some of the more difficult movements and create more destructive kicks but she was still some distance away from reaching the likes of the level of an Emperor, Admiral or the power equivalent to a strong giant or ancient giant.
However as she increased the intensity of her training and increased the weights she carried or worked out with, she found her strength reaching new superhuman heights.
She kept studying her skills while getting some rest until there was finally some movement on the Going Merry as it set out to sea before being shot up into the sky.
Alyssia did her best to hold onto something and not make any noise as she lessened her presence as much as possible since Nico Robin was around and capable of detecting her with her Devil Fruit ability.
While she was kept busy by studying and bored, she occasionally purchased some low ranking skills from around herself like the Poneglyph skill of Nico Robin, Chopper's doctor skills and improved upon her own with the free information from her high level skills like her cooking, navigation and boade techniques as she gained much from each of the Straw Hats.
A little later, the sounds of fighting started and quickly ended as the Going Merry made its way into Sky Island.
As the Straw Hats set foot on the island, they later lost their ship as it was pulled away along with Alyssia inside of it as it was placed on a sacrificial alter as the battle between the Straw Hats and Enel began.
Once she found that nobody was around the ship, she climbed out from under the deco after pushing up the wooden floor board before putting them back in place.
