It was newly developed, but she had prepared it just in case she would ever need it, especially to escape a fatal attack or to make a quick getaway.
There were all kinds of inventions that she had already created that could help to empower her further, or would serve to protect her, and could be utilised to provide her with other forms of support, whether it was for combat situations or outside of combat.
She was already seeing the combat applications for it, but if the other person could anticipate where she would show up, then it would not be so useful if used repeatedly.
That was all the more reason why she had built in easier methods of using it so that she could alter the direction and distance of travel each time she would use it.
That was the best method she could think of to allow her to change everything to avoid being too predictable.
The only other way that others would be able to anticipate the location she would reappear in would be if they had extremely accurate future sight capabilities as a result of having very advanced Observation Haki.
It was possible that it could be more difficult to predict where she would show up using that technology, as it would happen so quickly, and it would not be something that could be so easily tracked using Observation Haki.
Even if it were possible to do so, there would be limitations involved, especially when it came to being able to sense only within a certain range.
If she warped outside of that range, then it would become far more difficult to know where she would show up, allowing her to escape much more easily from anyone attacking or pursuing her.
If she made use of her own Observation Haki to predict many things, then it could become a much more useful invention to make use of.
With there being such projects that were piling up with more demands needing to be met, it was more difficult to support each new development.
One project she had running was to focus more on developing various kinds of crops that could be grown under all kinds of conditions and in different types of terrain.
She had made all kinds of progress toward developing crops that could be grown in Sky Island environments, floating over the sea, under the sea or in various types of land.
Her experimenting with SIQ and evolution had been especially useful toward developing such things, but it was costly.
That was why the first thing that she did once she left Empirica was to go in search of funds to support everything.
If she was not busy collecting the bounties on the heads of pirates, then she was hunting down all kinds of criminals, from bandits to anyone else who had a hefty bounty on their heads.
During that tour she was making, she made her way to the Ice Continent to open up the place where Don Chinjao and his family had long hidden away their family treasures.
With the use of the Eight Impact Fist technique, it was quite simple for her to be able to open it enough to allow her to take out quite a lot of the treasures that would help to cover what she needed.
She was thinking that there would only be one person who would be able to open it besides herself, but that would not be for some time in the future.
Sai would master the technique, so he would be able to open it once everything in Dressrosa was resolved.
That gave her enough time to pay it back if she needed to do so.
If the treasure was just sitting there like that, then it was better to be used.
If the world were to undergo a great upheaval, then it was possible that the treasure could be lost in it.
Rather than leaving such a thing to chance, she decided that it was better to salvage some of it for the things that could help toward making a big difference in future events.
After replenishing her funds, she made her way to the Marine base that she had been told to go to.
Borsalino was seated opposite her as he looked over her report. "Oh... not bad. This report is quite informative. Strong warriors, peaceful, secure, and isolated. The people are strong and united. They are behind compared to a lot of the world.
Their main development is in crops and farming, while they lack a lot of resources. You have said that the risk involved with getting to the island is great, and the danger on the island is greater due to the many dangers on it, plus the strong rejection toward outsiders."
Alyssia nodded in response. "I thought that I would be thorough with my investigation. When it comes to attempting cooperation or invasion of such an island, I would be able to understand that the risks would far outweigh the gains.
Just imagine what kind of damage could be brought about by a war just to claim the land. Their main resources are the crops and various farm animals, but those would be severely reduced in a war.
Not to mention that any damage caused by a war would likely result in the crops and other things being damaged enough to prevent the farmlands from being as fertile as before."
Borsalino nodded slowly, but his eyebrow raised a little, enough for Alyssia to notice such a small change of expression behind his sunglasses. "Oh... is this what you understand from your business pursuits?"
Alyssia smiled politely in response. "Of course. Merchants have to understand gains and losses before acting on any business pursuits, after all. I am sure it is the same for the Marines and those above."
Borsalino pondered over her words before approving the completion of her task. 'Having someone like this does save a lot of work. I am quite impressed with how she has handled everything in such a thorough manner.
What is even more surprising is how she has written an evaluation quite clearly, as if writing up a business evaluation. We did not ask for it, but we got it anyway. This must be what it is like to have a Warlord who has legal businesses and is actually willing to cooperate.'
His thoughts were quite true in many ways, as the Warlords usually did their own thing.
Even when they were summoned for something or were sent out to do something, they only did what was asked of them.
They would return with proof of their completion of the tasks, and most would usually result in them bringing in a severed head, or many of them, unless a target was to be brought in alive.
