Zoan Model: Wolverine #3

Alyssia quickly put forward a training plan and started teaching Yvie how to best make use of her abilities however there was one problem that she noticed about the change of Yvie.

Yvie had become a little bloodthirsty after eating her Devil Fruit which slightly increased her impulsiveness in battle so Alyssia took some time teaching her personally and letting her get used to the new impulses within her.

Alyssia looked towards the shorter transformed teenage girl with black hair which had transformed into a half human and half wolverine form. "You need to calm your mind and breathe slowly so that you can think more clearly and suppress your sudden impulses. This is important in battle because you can easily lose your sense of reason which could be fatal for you."

Yvie lowered her head and blushed as she felt shameful. "Sorry.. I will try harder this time."

Alyssia taught Yvie many forms of combat to make use of her new form which took the form of a bear but also incorporated several elements of a leopard and other clawed beasts. "This style focuses on striking, claws, ripping and throat crushing grips so it will help better train your overall balance and hand or finger strength but I have added some movements of wolf and leopard forms to improve the overall gripping, ripping and tearing techniques that can kill with the hand. There is also some moves inspired by the leopard that includes various hit and run tactics and guerrilla warfare. I believe that this is most suitable for you simply because you are smaller than others and you prefer to keep your distance from your opponents to allow time to fire your Pop Green. This way you can use any given opportunity to hurt or kill your enemy in one strike before regaining some distance again and we can make some modifications to your way of firing since you have trained in not just the slingshot but also many types of projectiles."

Some moves had been inspired by Yamcha from Dragon Ball which was the Wolf Fang Fist Style but others were gained from Rob Lucci's use of his Six Powers with his Leopard form but Alyssia was still missing some other styles used by other Cypher Pole agents that used claw attacks like the Wolf Zoan user or the techniques from Sabo which is the Dragon Claw so she realised the need to find time to locate them soon for Yvie's sake.

Yvie frowned. "Then what should I do?"

Alyssia answered. "You can use a large slingshot for your long range shots since your strength is improving at a rapid pace already but I think that it would be best to develop another method for closer range combat so I was thinking of making a Pop Green launcher and attaching it to your arm which are easily reloadable with your Pop Green."

With the combined technology she had, making a simple Pop Green launcher that could be attached to Yvie's arm or both arms was very simple for her and it was a much better method of firing them than the small slingshot because she had to keep reaching for ammunition before pulling it back, aiming and releasing to fire a single or multiple Pop Greens while the launcher would be easier to aim, fire and reload quickly.

Yvie had been properly trained for combat over a long time and had adapted to the balanced style that she had taught for close combat but the new form required more focussed attacks that were suited to her strong and sharp claws, with her new style built on top of it and the tactical advantage of the Pop Green launcher, her potential was very high.

Adding on the utility of her less dangerous Pop Green and her improved digging ability, she had many other ways to escape and create opportunities to counterattack so she could easily defeat those far above herself but her she was still adjusting to the new style Alyssia was teaching.

After many exchanges, Alyssia was dodging each of the lacerating attacks that were aimed towards the weakest parts on her body while occasionally occasionally dodging or parrying the attacks before counterattacking as Yvie switched up her tactics and aimed towards her limbs to try to tear through the muscles on her limbs.

Each time Alyssia would counter when the attack was about to land and knocked down Yvie. "Your progress is great but you need to remember to add some tactics so you are less direct in your attacks and more unpredictable which allows you to retreat and advance without your opponent being able to predict your next move. Since your style varies between your Pop Green and melee combat then you need to be able to catch them off guard and retreat but in the next moment, a single shot could turn the tides of battle."

Pop Green may be powerful in many ways if utilised as a weapon but it was not perfect as Ancient Zoans, more durable ability users or those who have trained their endurance to the peak would be able to resist many of the deadly attacks.

If she ever encountered one before eating her Devil Fruit and receiving more training from Alyssia, she would only be able to get one or two shots off before being taken down but now her fighting potential was rising with every passing day.

Later in the day after completing her training, Yvie and others started digging up the ground around the castle where the entrance to the ground floor was to allow for better access to the castle and a better entrance to use for moving many large and heavy items in.

Many of the things inside the ship could not fit through the entrances on the other floors and needed to be brought to the dungeon or ground floor so the entrance had to be dug out and a small path was slowly dug out to allow that while a wall was put up to prevent the surrounding ground from falling onto the newly cleared path down to the main entrance.

Just as Alfred had returned with the new land deeds and as the area was being transformed over the next week, the Sunken Castle of Rica Island had new visitors.
