Final lesson and departure

During her time sleeping after exhausting herself and suffering a lot of damage, Alyssia could hear the notification in her mind go off again.

<Ding! The user has created an SS rank skill as a result of combining Elecko, Eight Impact Fist, White Leg Style, Flash Step and Conquerers Haki-Spirit Projection. Would the user like to name this skill?>

[White Kings Wrath (SS+) - Conquerers Haki-Spirit Projection as the foundation combining it with elecko, eight impact fist, white leg style and flash step. The will of the user will bring out a spirit projection in the shape of a serpent that is a projection of the users understanding of martial arts. The projection is able to boost the attack power of attacks but also absorb and better control various types of energy or elements under the users control or creation and let them work together to increase the damage further. The serpent will act or attack differently depending on which type of attack is used. Note: This requires a lot of willpower and energy consumption to use, it is advised to use as a finishing move and not casually unless the user has a high mastery over every ability involved and higher stats.]

Upon seeing the description of the skill, she knew that this was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

As the serpent came into being, it coiled in the direction that she was spinning to add more power from her rotation and as it continued down it seemed to open its mouth and devour her layer of Elecko very quickly, all of the electro under her control and the willpower used to control it was then fed to the serpent as it moved down towards her heel as it came into contact with Chinjao.

After the head of the serpent bared its fangs upon touching him, it began to release all of the energy towards him in a concentrated attack to a singular point increasing the shockwave attack damage even further.

As the head part of the energy was used up, the rest of the serpents energy body began to follow it towards that singular point until it was no more.

The description also seemed to describe another thing that was interesting, the use of different elements or energy being used together to form attacks.

However this required the energy or element to either be a part of her own energy or a creation of an elemental attack based unique skill.

Suddenly Alyssia couldn't help but smile while sleeping because she had found something very powerful about the skill.

She believed that its full potential had yet to be reached which meant that it was suggesting that other type of special skills exist that are compatible with it.

After claiming even more points from the creation of another unique skill, she could spend a little more recklessly and now she had her eyes on some specific skills that were extremely compatible with her martial arts but will also help boost the lethality and rank of her new finishing moves or killer series worth of a high rank skill.

If Elecko was considered to be a high concentration trump card skill that boosts her fighting power further then White Kings Wrath was something of an even higher level of power and difficulty.

Upon waking up, she lay in bed all day to let her bruised body get some rest and heal up.

Later in the day, Chinjao came by and checked on her. "So this is why you were so confident that you may be able to defeat Garp.. so you actually can use it."

Alyssia nodded calmly. "I did not know that I could use it that way but I knew that I had that potential."

Chinjao frowned while in thought then sighed. "I do not think that I have anything else to teach, I have shown you some of the basics of each and explained them to you during this month but the training direction depends on yourself. The final lesson or advice that I can leave you is that those with Conquerers Haki will never lead a normal life. You will be faced with many trials and clash with many enemies just so you can achieve whatever your goal may be, those may have been unlike yourself or they may possess a strong will like yourself so always be prepared. Eventually Conquerers will be drawn to one another one way or the other and the one with the most strength, fame and luck or the strongest willpower will be able to remain on the seas. If you want wealth, fame and power then you must be able to challenge those fighting for the place at the top, those at the top but after getting there you must be prepared to take on any challengers that are after what you have. Come with me I have something to show you."

Alyssia replied. "I know.. okay."

Upon reaching the training ground, many people in training robes stood training that were not dressed in the Happo Navies type of clothing design.

Upon arriving near them, they all lined up waiting for what was to be said by Chinjao or Alyssia beside him.

Chinjao stood before then and spoke. "Many of you have done your country a great service for volunteering in the war efforts and your contributions will not be forgotten. Whether you joined to assist your country or simply were inspired by this young lady here, I would like to thank you all. Now there is something important to say that will decide your future. The MMA Exploration Team and their captain Alyssia are leaving Kano very soon and will be going to new islands to explore new lands and challenge other opponents and Martial Halls. I would like you all to come to a decision on what you would like to do next. Would you like to return to your daily lives before this? Would you like to apply for the Happo or Niho Navy? Or would you wish to follow her with her exploration team and leave Kano? I will give you all a couple of days to decide while Alyssia makes her final preparations to leave."

Many had a look of determination on their face after quickly deciding their path but the others were still unsure.

Many had joined to assist their country or chase after Alyssia at first but after their first taste of warfare not everyone would be so enthusiastic to jump back into it so would choose a life of peace.

Others who had got real combat experiences to improve their martial arts and now that they received this offer they were happy to join either side but some of them did not have the wish to leave their homeland.

There were still those who wished to go on adventures so this was their chance, Alyssia protected them well during the war and was a trustworthy captain so they wished to follow her.

Those that decided right away went home to pack their things and to arrange other things with their family if they had any other responsibilities to take care of or those that would miss them.

Some decided to pack up their home and even bring their wife or husband and children with them which showed their determination.

Of course this took some persuasion and caused some slight arguments among some households resulting in either them all going together, one person leaving alone, a family or relatives parting ways or that person not going in the end.

Those that were able to arrange everything smoothly and came to the decision to leave Kano would all later join Alyssia as she left.

As Chinjao escorted her back to her ship, he began to explain further. "People naturally follow the strong, famous or rich to achieve their life goals if a path is provided to them. This is also true for those with Conquerers, each have their own temperaments, rules or charisma that can attract people towards them to help achieve their goal. You look like the type to plan ahead for things often but I am sure that you do not always plan for the influence you bring to others or what changes you can bring to the world around you. I hope now you have some idea about yourself, your fate and how you can bring great change to wherever you go or how you could influence others."

Alyssia was deep in thought as she responded with a slight nod. "Um."

She had the plan to stay low key on the first island but got caught up with Alfred and Medea along with several of the local gangs and pirate groups which resulted in assassinations and battles between crews then finally being chased down.

Even if she tried to avoid trouble it still found her…

Upon arriving at Kano country, she decided to throw away her restraints and set the goal to improve her martial arts upon meeting those of the Happo Navy and getting some sagely advice from an old veteran of the sea who had once fought against many famous individuals of crews of the past.

Not only did she get caught up with the Happo Navy and the Niho Navy but what happened next was way out what she had in her plans…

From the platform life and death battles, the assassinations and the changes that were brought on by herself after surviving that and afterwards her participation of the war which would change many things for Kano.

During the war, she gained quite a lot of fame and a lot of followers who assisted her and fought side by side to defeat many enemy ships along with their crew, she gained a large amount of wealth but also many illegally sold weapons and the confiscated ships so her current wealth had reached a stage where she could not easily spend it all so casually.

However now that she was leaving, many had to part ways with her but Chinjao had shown her once again of her effect on others.

Conquerors can inspire others and lead them down the path they have chosen but there will be times where they may find themselves taking a completely unintended direction but still reach the destination at the very end.

She had a great responsibility on her shoulders as the captain of the ship but also because she had that kind of strength and fate.

Just like how the Worst Generation were bound together by fate as they all arrived at the same island before the great war and would later come across each other again in various ways in the New World, Alyssia had her own fate that was waiting for her at every place she visited whether it be something uneventful or something capable of changing the course of history within a country or a much larger part of the world.

The next couple of days of preparation were done quickly and many people arrived near the ship.

The main ship was her own which now had been painted with its name the 'MMA Explorer 1' along with the new flag and sails that had been kept simple using a black background along with the 'MMA Exploration Team' overlaying it in white.

Accompanying the ship by it was a larger battleship that had been fitted with a similar flag and sails.

Now that she had enough berries to spare and many ships at her disposal, she decided to keep one of the battleships she had acquired which was of a larger size than her own.

With the new recruits, she could not just leave them to all be cramped inside one ship together so she kept the larger battleship that it could follow along during the journey.

More than ten of the original forty to fifty strong martial artists that had fought side by side with her joined the crew along with some of their closest family members or friends.

Many of them that had joined were non-combatants but had their own individual skillsets whether it be cooking, sewing, cutting hair, cleaning and others skills to be able to handle simple chores p or assist in various ways on the ship or maybe in a new land.

Of course, Alyssia was able to quickly identify what hidden talents they had within them with the help from the system so recommended some reading materials including her beginner and basic versions of different types of skills within the 'For Dummies' section of the bookshelves.

She was able to pick out a couple of them from the crowd that had talents in different fields whether it be science, engineering, shooting, navigation, music, swordsmanship, cooking, diplomacy or any other miscellaneous or smaller skills.

Alyssia looked at the two ships that were ready to leave and yelled. "We are leaving now! Farewell people of Kano!"

Many words of thanks and goodbyes were mixed with cheers as the ships departed as the two Navy leaders and the other high ranking people under them stood in the distance watching the ships depart.

As Alyssia was arranging everything and navigating the two ships while communicating through the transponder snail, she walked into a storage room to double check the supplies, she heard the sound of movement within and then a small thing appeared by her feet after moving from behind some wooden boxed. "Meow."

She looked down at the dragon li kitten with a frown and spoke in a scolding manner of speech. "How did you get on board? Bad kitty!"
