Those that were still awake within Zou had suddenly passed out where they were when the Conquerors Haki spread out towards them.
Even the strongest of the Minks that were still awake or were able to faintly sense the ongoing pressure upon themselves had experienced the same while a very small amount had remained awake barely.
Among them were Duke Dogstorm of the Musketeers and those who had a will that was strong enough to resist and keep themselves awake.
Since it was night time, Alyssia used her senses to direct it towards the stronger Minks on Zou so she could avoid harming the children, elderly or the ordinary citizens of Zou so most of those that were capable enough to fight were affected.
Suddenly there was movement within the forest again as a sudden ambush happened and a sword was quickly swung towards her.
A cloaked leopard Mink wielded the sword that then came into contact with Alyssia's leg which was coated with her Haki.
After that there was another Mink that appeared which was a large cat who had waited for his chance to strike.
He coated his claws with his Haki and put all of his effort into clawing at her with what he had leaned from Oden's two sword style.
Slight fluctuations of Ryou were coming from his claws and they would soon be released but Alyssia did not show any signs of cowering.
Instead she smirked underneath her disguise and then narrowly avoided it while partially absorbing the Ryou attack with her own Haki against it then pushed it aside.
It took a lot of effort to bridge the gap in mastery of Haki but her other advantages allowed her to take the attack and experience it without feeling the full effects.
One claw was avoided while the other was slightly redirected but then another quick sword came towards her again. "Beast sword!"
Cat viper jumped back and then sighed. "We can only try to outlast them or take the risk to transform."
Pedro had clashed against Alyssia with his beast sword technique and then employed hit and run tactics to take her out but Alyssia quickly noticed something strange.
Alyssia then frowned. "Masters.. you really are not fun. Master Pedro.. I know that you can use any means to achieve victory but do not think to use such a method again. If you are in such a hurry to die then you should really just let me do it. I will make it quick and painless."
Pedro stood there stunned. "You.. it couldn't be.. you have grown this much? Why have you attacked everyone? What is your motive?"
Cat Viper then grinned widely and then laughed. "Dogstorm! I know that you are watching and waiting for your turn but I doubt that is a good idea right now. We may need your help here this time. We can go into the details later since she does not wish to stop fighting."
He could faintly sense that Alyssia had not dropped her guard and was soon going to attack so he couldn't help but be excited to see how far his student had come.
Alyssia closed her eyes and went over the information gained from the Ryou techniques of Duke Dogstorm and Cat Viper which were added to her Armament Haki knowledge.
A brief moment that she did do that, she had faintly remembered the previous skills she had collected from other places like from the Paramount War, Rayleigh and many others.
The battles against Mihawk and Boa Hancock had helped her temper her Haki and skills to help it reach a bottleneck but she still needed to master the techniques.
She was getting closer and closer to the feeling when she received the attack from Cat Viper so she was not willing to stop the fight even if Pedro was behaving in a suicidal manner.
One of Pedro's go to tactics was to use other tricks or powerful explosives to defeat his enemy, if it was truly desperate then he may even try to take her down with him with the explosives on his body.
She had noticed them during their fight which had annoyed her since she was not able to fight well when worrying if he would suddenly make such a stupid move. "No using explosives and just continue to keep me company for the night. Lets see who can win this game."
Duke Dogstorm entered the battle as they formed a triangle formation, they circled her and moved within that triangle formation that was around her so when one had attacked, another would attack at an opening once she would block or counter but then when dealing with the ambush, there would be another that would come from another blind spot.
Meanwhile those that had been blocked or countered would have had the time to back off and then exploit another opening.
The rotation would continue until the formation was broken or the person at the middle of it would be worn down by the constant assaults.
Alyssia calmed her breathing pattern and let her Observation Haki sweep the surroundings. 'This reminds me of the dangers triangle but can it win against my observation? How far ahead can I possibly see with my danger sense and how accurate will that be once used against more than one Haki user.'
She was facing heavy pressure from all three of them but her agile movements and body control allowed her to reduce the overall burden that she was under.
Slowly her movements were becoming more minute to not waste any energy and even Iron Body and Paper Art were expertly being used along with Life Return so that she could perfectly avoid injury.
The long hair and tail was being used since she no longer needed to hide her identity so she was able to fight unrestrained.
The night had passed and the fighting had attracted many to watch from far away because it was a battle that could split the land it happened on and cause a lot of death and destruction to the surroundings.
The strong Mink physique allowed them to continue fighting as they each made use of their strong physiques, Electro, techniques, Haki and then their Sulong forms once at a time when they were able to gain the time to transform or when Alyssia allowed it so she could test her growth.
After taking so many Ryou style Haki attacks from two of them along with the additional beast swordsmanship of Pedro, Alyssia had been able to refine her techniques and experience further while gaining a better understanding of the feeling of flowing Armament Haki.
All that was required was to grasp that feeling a little more so she continued the battle through the daytime until finally she was able to grasp it.
The Haki wrapped around her foot as it had suddenly been kicked out as the Haki flowed naturally towards the point of contact which had knocked Cat Viper back.
He then lay there and held his waist where he had been kicked. "That really hurts! i even was able to guard against it in time but it still got through. Kid you have grown so much that it is scary."
Alyssia shrugged. "You aint seen nothing yet."
She stood in front of them and then revealed her appearance which was closer to the half Mink and half Sulong stage which would soon be approaching so long as she continued to train her bloodline limit.
Her black eyes were getting slowly closer to being dyed half red while her hair was greying even more and her fur was a much lighter grey and was gradually getting closer to a pure white. "You would not believe what I have been up to."
