The news quickly spread out once again about things relating to Alyssia but other things had been at the very front of the news.
While she was making use of the samples she collected from the blood on the battlefield and those samples she collected from the Devil Fruit users among them, Alyssia was very busy with her research into the diseases she had cured and the samples she collected.
Each one had some details about the battle that took place as if there had been some survivors left to tell the tale and had witnessed it from a safe distance.
Not every detail was best given but it was enough for Margans and others in the same business to spin a tale that would catch the attention of the world.
[Shock! Blackbeard crowned New Emperor! Marco and the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates fled. Is this the end for them?]
[Payback war? Marco loses and retreats with his crew!]
[Blackbeard the new Emperor is wounded, can he keep up his position for long in that state?]
[Blackbeard won the battle but did he win the war? Shocking intervention and the battle was stopped.]
[Marco and the others that survived the battle were able to escape! No appearances have been made from them since then!]
[Who is the brave individual that stepped in between a battle between two large and powerful forces?]
The news continued to develop the more information was acquired and soon more stories began to appear afterwards once they found out more about Alyssia and why she was there.
[Alyssia Lucine is the one that stopped the war and prevented further destruction but why was she there?]
[Alyssia Lucine's journey through the New World and what she has been up to!]
[The whole truth about the war and how Alyssia Lucine came to be on that island.]
[Alyssia Lucine has been found to be going from island to island treating many people and preventing further death from diseases and other causes. She was busy treating people on the island when the battle broke out and helped some people get to safety.]
[Alyssia Lucine wounded Blackbeard and intimidated him to allow the battle to come to an end. Was it her being strong enough to wound him or was he just too tired from the battle?]
[First Shanks that makes Blackbeard back down, now it is Alyssia Lucine. Can Alyssia Lucine compare herself to Shanks or is Blackbeard showing weakness already?]
[Alyssia Lucine of the Mink tribe, was it a lucky hit or is she a new person to keep watch over?]
[Alyssia Lucine! We must know the truth! Is being a world champion enough for you? What is next!?]
Many took their own way to make the story as interesting as possible and a lot of the things mentioned had been facts even if they were exaggerated a little.
When the battle was happening and as she was watching from further away, Alyssia did send some kicks out that destroyed some things that were falling onto people who were trying to get to safety.
She did not play a large role in helping them find a place to hide out or kept a close watch over them but it was enough for them to live on and to get as far away as they could before more harm came to them.
There were some that judged her ability or questioned it while others were genuinely curious about what her plans were next.
It did not take long for others to find her when she was treating some people on an island.
A reporter asked her. "You are still helping out people harmed by such weapons that have been released in these war torn islands. Please tell us all… why are you doing this and what are your plans for the future? You must have something you want to say to those that are eagerly waiting for your side of the story."
Alyssia spoke clearly as she answered. "I just wish to help find a cure for these things that continue to harm innocent lives. Hmm.. I just wish to do this for a little while longer before seeking out new challenges. I just happened to be there and did a little to help others survive but the battle was getting far put of hand and had no signs of ending anytime soon so I felt the need to stop it. If I have any specific plans then seeking a worthy challenge would be good."
The reporter continued to ask. "Why did you save and let Marco and his crew get away? Do you know them?"
Alyssia shook her head. "Now you are just jumping to your own conclusions. I was on neither side and I just saw an opportunity to end things without there being further bloodshed.
In the war of the best, Shanks intervened and that action alone saved many lives that could have been lost if it continued. It was clear who the winner of the battle was so there was no more of a need for them to fight so long as one side admitted defeat.
Marco leaving was his own way of giving up while Blackbeard staying was his way of showing he would remain on the island and it was own his territory. It was my first time running in to either of them."
The reporter nodded while taking some notes. "You said you wanted to challenge someone? Is this to prove yourself to the world? Is this being influenced by the recent news speculations and you feel the need to prove others wrong?"
Alyssia chuckled and answered. "I do not need to prove anything but I know others will probably continue to question if I am as capable or if I just got lucky as they have speculated. If I have to challenge someone then it must be someone that can prove I have enough ability to do as I have been rumoured. Ah! I know!"
The reporter showed an eager look as their ears perked up. "Who?"
Alyssia thought to herself. 'I think it is about time for me to make my preparations for to uphold my promise.'
She cleared her throat and clearly so the reporter could hear. "The retired Marine, Monkey D Garp. If I can have a fight arranged with him a month from now then that would he good."
Alyssia had promised to defeat Garp for Chinjao so she had to fight him eventually.
The timing was better than other times before and Garp had enough time to mourn the loss of Portgas D Ace.
Monkey D Garp was no longer a Marine with an official ranking due to his retirement so it would not be that big of an issue for a challenge to be made against him.
He was far more free and did not have to worry about the reputation of the Marines or the orders of the World Government.
If he accepted then all she needed to do was prepare for it and make sure that she would be in the best shape possible when the day of the challenge came along.
More news began to flood the world as Alyssia had issued a challenge to the Hero of the Marines.
Some saw her challenge as foolish or crazy while some were curious about the outcome.
