Catching Up #2

Then she began to get to work and noted down her needs. "Hmm.. Devil Fruit users are enough for now but I could still use a sample of a Logia or a Mythical or Ancient type Zoan. As for Paramecia.. I could still use some examples of full body transformation types or more natural powers."

She was missing types like the Rubber, Spike or Steel Fruits that transformed the body into the property or was able to wield their power outside of their body and control it like the Wax Fruit or a more elemental based type like an explosive or heat or manipulator type.

She then made some more notes. "I still miss many other types of tribes or races but I have more than enough opportunities to gain samples of them and with many talented people around me, I can gain many samples for to research how to create better suited lifeforms that are suited to a specific task or profession."

"Okay… good, then these can wait until later to focus on as a priority." She continued to write and mumble to herself. "It would be best to get the artificial garden up and running and start developing the next project."

By her side was a row of containers which contained several terrifying and lethal amounts of Electro that had been released during her and others Sulong transformations.

As she placed her hand closer to some of them, a couple faintly reacted to her touch and a hint of familiarity surfaced in her heart which let her identify which belonged to herself.

She wrote down the names of three separate projects that she wished to explore.

[Project Weather - using growth of Weather Balls etc and storage methods of Dials to produce and store heat, cold and other weather types. These can be sold to various islands suffering from major environmental problems.]

It could be possible with her knowledge to produce a heating system within Baldimore and other places but once it was installed, it would require constant maintenance and costs to keep it running on either gas or water based heating so that no accidents or leaks happen.

To install such a thing all around Baldimore was a huge project that required the approval of many people on the island and would disrupt many lives in the process.

However the main reason that she was against the idea of doing so was that once their biggest problem was removed, they may no longer need her anymore and she could no longer gain any more benefits from them.

There was also the problem that other places may even wish to steal that technology for themselves and it would be spread to others who needed it and that would result in a lot of her business cutting off.

The best solution was to provide them with an alternative solution which could be traded with their labour or berries as payment and that was a way to give them what they need and be able to keep coming back to buy more of it.

Baldimore needed heat and Heat Dials could be transported to other hot lands to gather that to fill them back up but now that she had the potential of a Weather Garden, she now had the means to produce what they needed and sell it to them directly without needing to refuel on a distant land.

Additional tools could be used like a cold air fan for a hot country or rain producing tools for placing that are suffering from drought.

[Project Thunder Conversion and Storage - Additional research into weapon, robotic, cyborg, mech and generator power supplies and energy conversion methods.]

[Project White Elixir - Further research into Electro, Thunder and electrical energies to create magical effects with the current combined skills.]

The second project was focussed towards power sources, generators and other types of ways to produce and use the weather but it was still quite focussed towards Thunder based energy over wind, sun and water energy conversion methods.

The third project was quite similar but it was more focussed towards the further study and experimentation using what had contained within the containers by her side.

She then marked Project White Elixir as a priority for her own purposes and to be kept strictly to herself, Project Weather was marked secondary with a couple of names like Nica and Ashwin who would be allowed to work more closely with the project while Project Thunder Conversion and Storage was third in priority and allowed Nica and Ashwin access to it.

Her reasons for doing so was simple, Project White Elixir and Project Thunder Conversion and Storage had many similarities but produced slightly different results so whatever she gained from the first, the third would later be completed at a faster rate.

The second priority which was Project Weather had more ways to produce more income after being completed so it could not be ignored.

To keep her own projects running she needed funds to do so and if she heavily invested too much in one project which cost a lot, another had to make up for that loss.

After checking over the final records and samples of various sea, air and land creatures, she found that many had been collected from creatures from many places like Green Bit but one of her requests to acquire a certain creature had been unsuccessful for a long time.

As a result of the failure to do so, she requested someone to acquire samples from Franky's King Bulls along with many other types of bulls and sea creatures, sea beasts and Sea Kings.

After creating X and Y and awaiting their birth, she had not satisfied her own desire for creation so an additional life form had been designed and a cultivation pod had been prepared.

All that was needed was for it to be started but she always had too much going on at once to do so.

Even at this time, more things kept getting in the way as she had to prioritise other things first and she still needed a certain skill to make it perfect in every possible way.

Alyssia connected her call to Alfred. "How is what I asked for? Is there any with potential in what I had asked?"

Alfred replied very quickly. "Yes, I have picked a couple of competent people with potential in physics and navigation to be put forward but you also asked for other possible solutions so I included some possible candidates who may be suited to what you asked for even if their education was a little lacking."

Alyssia remained silent for a little while then asked. "Who do you have in mind for you to bring this up?"

Alfred wasted no time as he replied. "Pascia."

Alyssia tilted her head to the side as she asked. "Why her?"

It was her negligence that she had not read Pascia's talents and skills since she was already aware of where she shone from the original story so when Pascia was mentioned, she couldn't help but second guess herself.

Alfred patiently read out from his notes he had prepared. "Pascia is a skilled dancer with a body that has more stamina, strength, flexibility and speed than the average person. It is a requirement for any skilled performer who hopes to make it big in the business and she had underwent training with the others upon being signed along with being provided a special meal plan which you signed off on. Not only os she skilled in dance but she is familiar with the use of many types of tools and props that can be used in dance. Her intelligence and creativity is not low so even if her individual talents may he weaker than others, she would be able to make use of what you have mentioned after some lessons and showing her through demonstrations."

"Hmm.." Alyssia agreed with him. "Then put her for direct cultivation under White Storm and look further into the others to see if they are discreet and trustworthy."

Weather Wizards were essentially glass cannons, they had high destructive power and utility but they were usually quite weak and easy to kill so she needed to raise one up from scratch or find someone who could make use of it but also not be so incredibly weak like the old men on Weatheria.

Nami was able to survive because she had grown up around danger, was highly intelligent, had a half decent amount of strength in her body and had enough experience with a staff with the addition of a little luck and having a strong crew around her most of the time.

If Pascia could be raised and improved quickly in terms of physique and if she could grasp enough of the abilities then it was more than enough of what Alyssia required since she had a good grasp of how to control of her body already and make use of different types of stage props and tools.

All that was required was to make her a personal weapon if she was able to learn from watching how to use it.

After a short moment of silence, she said. "Find out what kind of tool she would use and get back to me. Have the supplies delivered and send her over to me soon."

Alfred ended the call afterwards and got to work.

Meanwhile Alyssia was left thinking about what would suit Pascia best. "Hoola hoop? A fan? A cane or umbrella? Scarves or ribbons? A wand? Hmm… perhaps a fan or scarf or ribbon may be best to go with her dancing. If so then certain things may not be fully available to her."

A piece of clothing or fabric would be best used for protection but also distraction during a battle so it would be most compatible with the mirage based uses while the fan would probably focus more towards wind based attacks.

The option was to use one of them but she would have to sacrifice survival for attack power and the opposite for the other so there had to be a way to either use both together or combine the two in some way.
