In an unknown location hidden somewhere on the Grand Line, there was a room filled with documents and a lot of people had been sitting writing reports as they waited by for a call on the Sea Snails near them.
They were Cypher Pol and they were part of the information and spy department that handles contacting and receiving calls from those spies that were stationed all around in different islands.
One was making noise and was answered by someone as the voice on the other side had spoken up. "Code fortress six two seven reporting!"
The person holding the Sea Snail looked at a document and opened it up to a certain page. "Confirmed. What do have to report?"
The voice then replied. "Many key members of the White Storm have vanished! Usually they would not be seen often due to their usual activities but we never had to report in since they did not move around that much but this time is different. They took many people with them this time and we have not seen them return since then. It is suspected that they have left the island for good and left it in the hands of the other crew members for a long time, what should we do now?"
The person was deep in thought and then said. "Continue to give frequent reports and remain where you are."
"Yes sir!"
The communication had cut off and the Sea Snail was placed in the original position but the person spoke coldly. "Their job is to spy and report back any intelligence, not to come up with their own theories. It seems that they need to be reminded of their role."
Even in an organisation like Cypher Pol, there were conflicts within along with many other things that caused issues with their work efficiency so it was not perfect but they still had to carry out their duties.
Shortly after, a report had been submitted to the higher ups about the disappearance of many members of the White Storm who had ventured out to sea.
It took a little time before the report had reached those above and caused a minor disturbance.
[Code Fortress Six Two Seven.
The believed captain and leader of the White Storm has taken many of her crew with her to an unknown location as she has left her island after remaining there quietly for so long. The danger of the individual Alyssia Lucine has been difficult to investigate but she cannot be so easily underestimated. Her crew members possess their own specialties and are believed to be dangerous too so many of them moving is not a good sign as they may possess the strength to influence the world during their travels. Although they have usually kept out of the world's politics and conflicts, they have acted out of our predictions once already so it is wise to not judge them based on our previous assumptions and information collected.]
Many other reports had come in about many members of the White Storm mercenaries and the other groups which had disappeared and had stopped taking requests which had confirmed that the White Storm had made their move within the world.
There was a great disturbance caused by their disappearance as there had been no reported sightings since they had briefly appeared at Sabaody Archipelago so it was suspected that the large fleet of ships and many crew members had either hidden as they waited to attack a key location by the Red Line or they had risked going under the Red Line.
Unfortunately they lacked vital information and even the location that they were staying at was cut off from the world due to the killing of many spies placed there so they were unable to find them.
Eventually the reports that had been compiled had been brought higher up as they reached the Five Elder Stars of the World Government who had discussed it briefly and had chosen to wait and see what happens before any action would be taken but they had identified a key clue that had surrounded Alyssia's disappearance.
If Alyssia and the crew had split up and headed to the New World then it would be very difficult to protect what was left behind unless she chose to risk dangers to travel back to Paradise.
Many of them had believed that if Alyssia and her crew were to become notorious around the world and have a bounty on their heads, it would give them and the Marines to have enough of a cause to wipe out those she had left behind so they believed that she had created a large weakness for herself.
Even if they could not act out in the open due to public opinion and political reasons, they still had other ways of harming the White Storm that remained in Paradise along with their source of wealth and power.
Their continued growth and large amount of different resources, wealth, influence and power was something that needed to be destroyed or controlled before it got out of hand and caused problems for those in power so eventually they would target Alyssia's people even if she did nothing wrong and did not provoke them.
They were not aware that Alyssia had already planned for such things and had been carefully raising many capable people so that even if she was not there, they could function normally and handle many difficulties.
They were also not aware of the advancements in technology and weaponry that she had developed that could help to overcome many potential dangers.
Alyssia had many hidden cards that she had yet to show which were in the hands of those left behind.
