Repetition and hardships

A couple of years passed and Alyssia adjusted the the mink lifestyle while she slowly digested the knowledge that had been given to her.

Much like black leg sanji, Bon clay, ivankov, Vergo and many others styles of using their legs, knees and feet in their fighting styles Alyssia was taking the same path but the main problem was that while they had their own forms and styles, Alyssia had to factor in certain variables.

One of which was her electro and Sulong abilities which would boost her speed which would change the way she is able to fight.

Many electricity users usually move in a linear path so either go in a straight line during quick bursts or travel to one location before changing the direction like zig zagging.

If an attack misses then there is also the problem that the force of the powered kick would make the user continue forward and lose control.

This would either result in falling or leaving the back open to a counterattack before the user can stabilise their body and footsteps once again.

Linear motions consist of more blunt and direct techniques such as head-on strikes.

These motions are also called hard techniques and can involve striking one diagonally.

These techniques require a lot of general strength to execute properly with a great focus on technique to make the most of the strike.

Circular motions, on the other hand, are more defensive in nature.

It's meant to use an attacker's strength and momentum against themselves.

This also involves a defender using the minimum amount of strength needed, which means technique and form are given great emphasis.

Alyssia decided on focussing on training her whole bodies strength but focussed on styles that most suited her legs and began to repetitively repeat the same movements over and over again to gain familiarity with them.

While she did enjoy some other styles she found that taekwondo had many simpler movements and kicks within the basic grade of leg martial arts so she began to focus on learning them first but she also tried to learn some of the kicks from Muay Thai that target the opponents legs, push them back or sweep them to the ground.

Although she could learn to incorporate punches into her style she felt that she needed to keep her hands in good condition like Sanji had done for her other profession.

Navigation requires the use of drawing out maps and precision so she needs her hands to be in good condition and to be familiar with the process so it is not good if she breaks her fingers or wrist during training or in battle when throwing a punch when her main power should come from her legs.

Since she also has her strong kangaroo tail which helps to gain her balance and control over her body but also attack with it so there were time when she could make up for some flaws by using her tail so her hands were not really all that needed for combat.

At the age of four Alyssia's small figure could be seen practicing simple kicks in a repetitive motion continuously and then switched to another.

Sometime she would kick forward and then return to normal and then kick up high then bend her leg so that her heel would come around to target her imaginary enemies head..

Sometimes she would just use her arms to protect her face and chest while her legs would kick towards her imaginary enemies legs at the side of their knee to make them lose their balance.

After completing several actions as if she had been training for a long period of time she had to wipe the sweat that formed on her forehead before heading back to have food with her family.

During her free time she had developed the habit of training her body and mind and further discipline herself like a martial artist should be.

In her previous life she learned to adapt and endure many hardships as a child without parents so accepting the new reality was not too much of a struggle but she knew of the future and the fate of the minks so she could either flee the island and risk being captured by some money hungry people to sell her to a life of slavery or get lucky and live a secluded life somewhere safe or… she could devote herself to her practice and what the system had provided her then make the best of her situation.

If she remembered correctly luffy had been born around the time that she had and now she had gained an advantage over the worlds protagonist but that did not mean that he would not surpass her one day if she slacks off on her training.

Even luffy struggled to overcome his enemies and most of the time luck or his resilience helped him come out as the victor.

She knew that there would be a time when he would make his way to Zou and the minks would join in the battle for Wano along with having to endure the attack of Jack the drought beforehand.

If she wished to survive those events or travel to sea one day then she would need the strength to overcome those trials.

After a couple of years of receiving love from her family another thought popped into her mind…

Would she really be willing to let the attack happen to Zou resulting in the two main leaders losing a limb, many injured and dead along with the destruction of many ancient buildings and historical sites just so that the straw hats can come in and help them out during their time of need and then the protagonist can show up with his lucky halo to form an alliance to overthrow kaido and orochi.

As much as loyal the cat and dog were to Oden and wished for revenge and even if they treated their people well… she did not wish to put her people in danger for no reason especially if it only served to benefit others and in no way would she want her family and friends to be dragged into it.
