Stussy

Alyssia used her remaining time to arrange taking out a large short time loan and a lot of the things related to the White Storm in her name was put up as collateral in case she could not pay it back.

The large amount of berries were placed on as many betting establishments that were legal and illegal in preparation for the battle.

An owner of a large conglomerate boss would not miss out on the opportunity to put some rising influence under their control and in their debt so there was no hesitation towards allowing Alyssia the loan.

Stussy had sat in contemplation after Alyssia had left the island and had disappeared from the range of influence of her. 'How interesting. So the Mink tribe have somehow found a way to fully transform without needing to transform back.

If I had not seen it myself then I may not have believed the information that was sent to me but I have a strong suspicion that things will start going in ways that most would be unable to predict. Should I send this information to CP0 right away or not?'

Stussy was enjoying that there was someone interesting like Alyssia that had contacted her and if events did play out as she had predicted then it would likely shake up the world's powers as they too would begin to show an interest towards Alyssia.

Whether they would have good or bad intentions would be unknown but from the information that had been given to Alyssia, Stussy was able to predict that if Alyssia did win then Alyssia would then move to shake up things in the underworld.

The information contained several underworld groups that were involved in a big operation on an island somewhere in the New World.

If Alyssia was interested in it so much then it was likely that she wished to get involved in those matters for personal or business reasons.

If it was business then Alyssia would be in conflict with anyone related to that island since they were the ones that controlled it and did not wish for others stepping into their territory.

If it was a personal matter then it likely involved something that Alyssia had been caught up in some time in the past or it was related to someone around her.

It was unlikely that Alyssia would not use that information since she had asked for it and paid a high price for it so Stussy just needed to wait for things to blow up.

They were not allies to her and those involved in what had happened were not worth protecting so Stussy did not feel any guilt towards handing over that information.

She had acted like she was a little closer to them in order to raise the price but in reality, Stussy did not feel any kind of closeness to any of them. "Hmm.. I should inform them about the transformation for safe measure then they will not come back to me later and scold me for not doing my job."

She did do what was needed for CP0 but she was out for herself too, there were times when she withheld some information that may not have been found by others and she could keep for her own use.

Since Alyssia would appear in public then if others knew that she had met Alyssia then they would blame her for not informing them of something so important.

Although those of the White Storm had displayed odd characteristics from the intelligence that had been gained, they did not completely look like a Sulong so it was believed to be some kind of mutation.

Alyssia was the first Sulong to appear in front of the eyes of others without the full moon being present and being able to maintain that form without damaging herself.

There were people that were fully devoted to the World Government and carried out their every request but Stussy was someone among CP0 that acted for her own benefit at times.

Nobody could say anything about it since she was an Underworld Emperor and she was able to cover up a lot of those things that she had done in the past so nobody would ever suspect that her loyalty was any less than others to the World Government.

What Alyssia was missing from her own information was that Stussy was taking advantage of multiple influences for her own benefit but she did have some loyalty towards one person.

Upon meeting Stussy, Alyssia had briefly been surprised about the status that was presented in front of her that belonged to Stussy due to it saying that her race was within the artificially created race of humans.

Stussy had possessed the power of a Devil Fruit too so she would be even more formidable than what had been showed during her first display of power on the Whole Cake Island Arc.

Upon seeing the race of Stussy, Alyssia had begun to suspect which scientist in the world had been behind her creation and if she was still in contact with them or not.

It was very easy for her to narrow down the list until it reached a very small amount if names which were Judge and Vegapunk.

Judge did not let his clones get away and had them being completely loyal to him so it was less likely that he would let a clone have so much freedom in the world.

The only person left was Vegapunk unless there existed someone else that had yet to be mentioned so some theories about Stussy were forming in the mind of Alyssia that was getting closer to the truth.

Her ship sailed away while leaving the rest to Jester and Stussy had went back to her usual business.

Alyssia adjusted to the improvements that had been made even if they were little during the time that she was sailing to her next destination.

It was not until later that her ship had docked on a less populated island in the New World and she had a deck of cards that were being shuffled in her hands.
