260 After the Paramount War

With the problems created by Blackbeard, the prisoners from Impel Down and the surviving members of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Marines started moving to chase after those not quick enough to get away during the early stages so they were kept busy.

In an unknown location, Ace was buried by another grave which had his hat and weapons above along with Whitebeard's weapon but Whitebeard's body had been kept sealed within Rica Island as it was kept safe by Alyssia so the grave left in the unknown location was just a symbolic grave for him.

Upon waking up, Luffy fell further into despair but was given a firm wakeup call from Jinbe resulting in their trip back to Marineford where the Paramount War took place as many of the high ranking Marines were kept busy as they chased after those who got away.

To fill up the vacant positions left behind from Jinbe and Moria after Jinbe had fled and Moria had been put on their hit list, the World Government appointed Buggy as a Warlord to gain a little more control over the many released prisoners that had become Buggy's loyal followers.

Just as the two year training was about to take part for Luffy and his crew members, the newspaper arrived at the Sunken Castle which showed the photo of Luffy with the markings on his arm.

Alyssia was busy going over the many gains that she had received from her previous outings and coming up with many more detailed plans for each of her crew members.

For example, she had started adding blade techniques from many people who had participated in the Paramount War to help improve Medea's swordsmanship which had been gained from people like Thunder Lord McGuy and Haruta of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Some more defensive fighters styles were added to Archie like Those used by Diamond Jozu.

For herself there were some minor improvements to be made to her style of combat after she had gained many leg based moves from Marco, Kizaru and many others along with the gains that she got from those with insights into many other special abilities.

For Monera, she had gained the combat techniques of Namur from the Whitebeard Pirates and Jinbe.

Many other high level sword, blunt damage weapon and dagger skills were gained to further improve Clifford, Ashwin, Liushi, Jester and Zhihaojin's styles like those from Mihawk, Whitebeard, Vista, Atmos, Momonga and many others from those that were on the battlefield.

For Tristan, Alyssia had gained many skills from Garp, Sengoku, Akainu and many others to help improve her boxing style while she gained many things to improve upon for Carrot and Yvie's style of combat.

Some of Boa Hancocks skills based off her mastery over combat, dance techniques and sniper based skills came in useful for helping to improve upon Aizah, Yvie, Nica, Ann, Pascia and Sunila's styles of combat and their overall training plan while she had gained a lot more from the sniper abilities around her.

Even the people of the Blackbeard Pirates were each put to use as she extracted each of their combat abilities like updating the Shockwave attacks from Burgess and gaining sword skills from Shiryu or gaining skills from Katarina Devon, Vasco Shot and many others that would become the Titanic Captains of the Blackbeard Pirates.

Upon arriving back at Rica Island, she put them all through even tougher training and she checked her status to see her progress during the four to five months during the start of the original story since her seventeenth birthday.

Most of her stats had surpassed thirty base stats which could put her on par or be stronger than people like Doflamingo, Katakuri or other direct subordinates to different crews and with the addition of the bonus stats from her secondary profession or talents, she had gained an additional four strength stats and eight agility stats which pushed her overall body strength to thirty six out of the worlds limitations at forty while her agility had surpassed it with the additional eight points giving her forty two agility points.

As a player of the game or a system user, she had the advantage of being able to surpass the worlds limitations with the help of the two talents and other methods if she can explore deep enough to find other methods to surpass the limitations.

At the age of seventeen years and four to five months, she had already become the fastest person alive with pure physical ability and with her Electro and other abilities stacked upon it, she could gain many advantages over others who were already at Emperor or Admiral Level but she still required more time to digest what she had collected and improve upon her Haki and other layered powers or techniques as they were combined together.

Even her endurance was at thirty three after she had been tempering her body with Electro so she had become very durable but it did not stop there, compared to others who had durable skin, muscles and bones, she had tempered the insides of her body too so she was not as weak on the inside and could not be defeated so easily by internal attacks.

Her current state was enough to call her a hidden boss within the world but she was still quite cautious and would not reveal herself until she had reached the very peak.

Then there was the additional bonus points added to her intelligence and spirit which had or would soon reach the limit of the base stats so her senses and intelligence were already beyond the worlds current limitations or known maximum recorded stage for every intelligent life form in the world.

She could easily step out into the world and create a big disturbance as she was but her being alone was not enough, she needed a reliable and strong crew to contend against others but also to cover a large area within the Grand Line.

There was also the underlying issue that her Haki had not yet reached the stage of mastery where she could damage Kaido who had a much higher mastery over it and had a strong body even before he consumer the Fish Zoan Devil Fruit which allowed him to transform into a dragon upon achieving an awakened state.

Upon finishing guiding everyone who had gathered she spoke. "I will give you all enough time to develop what I have taught you during the next seven to eight months before I decide on who to send to the New World and who should remain where they are. I hope to see some improvements and I will watch over you all as you encounter any problems but also help guide you all."

Technically she was planning on helping them boost their mastery over Haki so that she could improve theirs at a very fast pace under the pressure of her own but she also hoped that when faced with many other Haki users, her own would be able to improve.

Many types of high end training equipment were made to be used within the Sunken Castle so it would help to improve her bodies stats further while she increases her own training but it would also help her crew to improve their bodies strength further.

Sunila had a look of worry on her face as she pulled aside Alyssia after her training. "I know that you did mention some things but how was my empress after the war? Did she get hurt at all?"

Alyssia shook her head and spoke. "No, she was fine from what I had seen and did not suffer any major wounds. If anything, she seems to have fallen in love with a man and is doing well. I can expect that she is living very happily right about now."

Since Boa Hancock had gotten over her worries after Luffy had woken up, she would be in a very good state of mind and would be fussing over him as he recovered and started training with Rayleigh.

Sunila stood on the spot and sighed. "I really could not be of any help to her or you this time…"

Her gaze turned more serious and determined as she spoke. "Next time I will not be the same and I will be able to offer my help in some way. I will get much stronger with what you have taught me."

Among the crew members, some of them still had past regrets to make up for or connections to their homeland so certain events would affect them too but Sunila was the sole person affected by the events of the Paramount War because Boa Hancock was ordered to participate.

She had not really faced off against many strong opponents and instead of helping in the battle, she often obstructed the Marines and Pacifista from doing their duties so she was able to survive and slip away afterwards upon giving the excuse that she wished to chase after those that had escaped.

However for Sunila, she had to have been worried about Amazon Lily's Empress since everyone in Amazon Lily greatly respected and admired Boa Hancock.

Alyssia patted her shoulder and said. "Just keep improving and spar against me sometimes so that you can keep working on your Haki. You are already strong enough but in the face of absolute power or war potential, you still have a long way to go. This time spent can help you catch up to me and the others a little so keep working hard future Archer God."

Sunila blushed upon receiving the sudden title from Alyssia but then she replied. "I will.."

It was not just Sunila that had been affected by the events of the war though, many of them felt pressure about the incoming troubles brought to the first half of the Grand Line so they worked even harder to improve themselves.

Even Pascia, Ann, Aizah and Ein who were slightly weaker than the rest had started to improve in their own ways whether it be improving their weaponry, physique, power mastery or their individual professional skills like their singing or dancing while Yvie, Medea and Archie were slowly gaining mastery over their own abilities when they were allowed to use them upon being provided a safe place to use them like in the abandoned sky islands.
