Talents could be nurtured and opportunities could be given to those who deserved it, but special favours could not be given to friends or family, especially if they did not deserve it.
If they did something wrong, then it was all the more reason that they should not be protected, even if it involved protecting the image of the White Storm.
If the image of the White Storm was so important that such things could be ignored and suppressed for the sake of it still looking good to the public, then all that would appear beneath the surface was a long list of bad things.
There would be a lot of things that would be waiting to come out at any time, as it would become a poison to the White Storm that would be difficult to suppress once it got out of hand.
It could be suppressed using force or other means, but those methods would only cause more animosity that would spread and grow.
As a result of that, an investigation was done into that matter and other similar matters as the law teams being raised were being put into effect.
Those who committed such bad things that went against company laws and policies were handled according to the severity of their actions and the damage they caused, as some were dismissed from their job.
Some others faced more as they were offered a deal to pay back everything they owed; otherwise, they would be reported to the proper authorities.
Some were forced to make apologies to evade punishment, while others were directly sent to the Marines or other similar places where they would be put behind bars.
Anyone who suffered received proper compensation and apologies, while some who had been struggling were offered a job that suited their talents.
One among them was the songwriter who had their work stolen and had been suppressed so long that they were unable to get work and the credit for the work that they deserved.
Everything they were owed was paid back in full, and they were given a contract for their other works, which had impressed Aizah, who looked over them.
The time left in the New World was counting down a little at a time as events were moving toward the expected time that Alyssia had been preparing for.
The two-year break between the time that the Straw Hat pirates would be was when the timeline had the most unknowns involved, as she needed to try to put things into motion so that she would be prepared for what came next.
it was not just her who needed to be ready for what was ahead, but it was all those who followed her and those who had recently joined her.
Anything could take place in the remaining time that was left, especially since there were so many unknown variables involved after Alyssia had caused so many changes.
Characters that had little or no significance in the original story were allowed to shine under her guidance, as some were able to be put in a situation where they could rival many important characters who could make big impacts in the flow of the story.
A small action of theirs could make great changes, as they started to have more of an influence on the future if they wanted to do something.
Those people had become her major support, but they could just as easily become one of her weaknesses that could be targeted by anyone who feared her fast rise to power.
She could not control each of their actions as she did not wish to enforce her will on them, but she still needed to keep them close and on her side so that she could still rely on them in the future rather than having them as enemies.
That was one of the reasons why she had to let someone like Jester go, as she did was to still have a chance to maintain the current relationship that had been built during the time that he had been a part of the White Storm.
If she chose another course of action to keep him close, then she could have risked her entire relationship with him, especially if she chose to keep him away from the very person he was looking for.
If she took more drastic actions like removing Alice the moment that she figured out who she was, Jester or Arthur Harlequin would turn from a valuable ally to an enemy the moment he learned of such a thing being done behind his back.
Little stayed buried forever, so it was usually better to choose a course of action that ended up hurting others and creating animosity from those who could have become valuable allies, which could become the support needed to push the White Storm further.
New positions opened up as the bad elements were removed, allowing others to be granted fair opportunities to fill those spots.
New projects and positions opened up as new opportunities presented themselves in new ways as the White Storm continued to expand.
Those who were valuable assets to the White Storm had already gained protection when Alyssia began to move into the New World, but those measures would not always be enough.
Her research was progressing rapidly after connecting the system to the brain of Dr Vegapunk on Egghead, so her research in many fields was progressing at an unnatural speed.
Her research on weather technology and other navigation-related fields had progressed the fastest, allowing her to master the technology that was being employed on Egghead Island to control the weather on it.
Many other projects were underway as she was making modifications to the MMA, as the insides were reworked to include many other things that were being developed for her future experiments and needs.
Tristan and Alyssia spent their time researching all kinds of things together, from the smallest things that could affect the body in ways that were helpful or harmful.
With the recent incident that had happened involving the chemicals being released and putting together the drone project, both of them had expanded their research further to try to understand the effects that different things brought to the body and how to halt it or cure it.
