Alyssia’s biggest flaw

Chinjao stepped forward to check over his grandson and noticed the scorch mark on his boots that was created from the explosion even after protecting himself with his Armament Haki. "You did well to keep her pressured but you were met with the wrong opponent. She has a high compatibility with your style of martial arts so has been able to adapt to your moves and mirror them. At first you were much more skilled in terms of skill but as things progressed she was the one who was lowering her fighting power as she was gaining more familiarity with her power. Haki was the best option to show her the next stage that lies beyond physical strength but it seems that she has her own trump card to counter those who have not fully mastered their Haki."

Moving at extreme speeds to avoid an attack or take the initiative to attack and even break through an Observation Haki users defences and predictions is something that is possible with Electro.

Creating explosive attacks or electrocuting her opponent with her Electro was also a way to handle Armament Haki users that did not have a high mastery of Haki.

With the combination of the two will also make her able to slip past their defences and land an attack on their body when they can not yet coat that part of their body quick enough or they would be using a weakened coating due to the short time to prepare, the result would be being electrocuted by her Electro attack.

With her physical strength and skills combined with that, she was easily able to defeat Sai with ease but she wished to improve herself over sparring with her opponents on an equal level and hide her races characteristics but it seems that she had failed in that task.

She scanned Chinjao's expression and did not find any kind of expression or anything that would let her know of his intentions towards her so she began to feel a little uneasy.

Chinjao walked towards her and said in a calm voice. "You do not need to worry about such things. Kano could use such allies of a powerful race.. we would not wish to make enemies of them."

The thought of fighting one well trained Mink was stressful enough for him but the idea of fighting against a whole island full of them was a nightmare.

He did not wish for such a war to take place because of greed, although his country was a part of the World Government he still had his grudges against them.

There was no way that he would wish to hand Alyssia over to them to toy around with and invite the wrath of her crew members but also her homeland.

Alyssia looked at him carefully and then asked. "So did I pass your test?"

Chinjao nodded and then stated. "Your style is still incomplete and immature but it will not be long before you have taken it to the next stage. You have a lot of potential but it is being held back by certain things. Your movements are targeted towards damaging or knockout blows, the intent behind every blow is to keep the battle going for an extended period of time which shows your personality and goals. You still lack the intent to bring physical harm or even death to your opponent so a lot of your power is held back, at one point where you are forced to go all out in a fight with your life on the line you will be unable to bring out the maximum power of your body because of your developed habits of holding back your strength."

He easily recognised that she was not used to killing her opponents and had the wish to fight them again.

Often times this would help to let her opponents grow stronger after their defeat so that they can provide a better battle the next time and gain many rivals but at the same time her mercy towards her opponents was something that was creating a large weakness for herself.

Chinjao added. "Since ancient times, martial arts have been developed for many purposes whether it be killing or protecting. The most common and favoured way of martial arts is the killing techniques that have been developed over many years of warfare. Every movement has to purpose to harm the opponent and even kill them without wasting a single bit of the hidden strength of the body. From now on, I will help you get rid of your bad habits and bring out your full potential."

If she continued to hold back and not know about her bodies true potential then she would never truly reach her goal once she came across a strong enough opponent.

Those bad habits and hesitation over her wish to keep fighting or not harm her opponent would make her hold back and possibly make a mistake in how much strength she should use to match her opponent.

If her opponent wishes to put their life on the line, there would be many tactics and final outbursts of strength that would allow them to catch her off guard in a single moment which could cost her a large injury or even death.

Chinjao had fought with his life on the line against Garp and still suffered a crippling injury to his head which ruined his path of martial arts, even when putting his all into into the fight he still came out as the loser and ruined so even if Alyssia was talented, she could not afford to limit herself during combat as this would put her at even more of a risk than what he had experienced.

Chinjao looked at her and stated. "It is time to let you gain some real experiences and toughen up."

Alyssia hesitated and then agreed. "Fine then."

Her experience with killing over the years was limited to animals and the Sea King, she had yet to have the intent to kill a human being even if some of them deserved it for the actions they had taken against herself and her crew.

The previous cannon fire may have killed some pirates as she left the previous island but that was something that happened as a result of aiming towards the cannons and mast.

It wasn't her intent to kill but accidents can always happen and it was done from afar so her psychological burden of killing wasn't so heavy.

Taking a life with her bare hands, feet or a weapon up close was always more difficult to do and a lot more of a burden on her mind but she knew that Chinjao's word were correct.

In One Piece, many people are fighting with their lives on the line for their own goals and will use just about any dirty trick in the book to get what they desire or to live on another day.

If she wanted to pursue those monsters at the top of the world then she would have to stop weakening herself with the ideology from her previous world that had shaped herself.
