Meanwhile. After separating from Grimm, Alessia pondered how to develop her Bloody Crusaders. She had three options.
First, return to Etkexay. However, the entire kingdom knew she had sold her body to Grimm. Returning there would undoubtedly bring her shame. Moreover, King Hyde disgusted her, so she abandoned this idea.
Second, join the Navy. If she could climb to a certain rank, establishing a special unit wouldn't be impossible. Joining the Navy was the most secure method, with ample resources and the ability to act as an inside informant for Grimm. However, joining the Navy wasn't as simple as saying so; it required an opportunity. This method was feasible but extremely difficult.
Third, adopt a new identity and join another kingdom. This method naturally had the highest feasibility.
As Alessia lay in her small hotel room contemplating these options, a knock suddenly sounded at the door. "Knock, knock, knock."
Initially, Alessia thought it was room service, but upon opening the door, she saw someone wearing a military uniform and a cape of justice. She was startled, and two words popped into her mind: "Navy!"
After noticing the military uniform, Alessia then observed the appearance of the people outside. There were five Marines in total, led by a female general nearing fifty years old but remarkably well-preserved. Judging by the rank insignia on her shoulders, she should be a Vice Admiral.
Could her secret be exposed? Alessia thought worriedly.
At this moment, Tsuru at the door slowly spoke: "We don't mean to disturb you. I also understand the pain you've been through recently!"
Tsuru smiled broadly, then her expression turned serious: "However, we must discuss the gravity of the situation with you. Let me introduce myself first, Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral Tsuru. You can call me Tsuru!"
"Vice Admiral Tsuru, please come in!" Seeing that the other party was relatively friendly and didn't seem to be interrogating her, Alessia felt slightly relieved and gestured for her to enter the room.
"You all wait outside. I'll speak with her alone!" Tsuru said to her four subordinates and closed the room door!
"Don't call me 'Vice Admiral' or anything like that; I'm not used to it. Call me Ms. Tsuru, or Aunt Tsuru if you don't mind!" Tsuru said after finding a chair and sitting down.
"Okay, Aunt Tsuru!" Alessia recognized her. In the Navy, she was a renowned figure, Marine Headquarters Chief of Staff Tsuru, on par with Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Garp.
"En!" Tsuru nodded, a hint of pity in her eyes. She asked Alessia, "I know this might stir up painful memories, but I still hope you can tell me something, Alia!"
Tsuru used Alessia's former name from her time in the Etkexay Kingdom's army. Alessia vaguely knew what the other party wanted to ask. Forcing herself to calm down internally, she replied: "You want to know about that Grimm, don't you!"
"En, I've learned about you through Navy channels!"
For a woman to be defiled by a pirate, it was undoubtedly a great tragedy. But given the seriousness of the situation, she had to ask. Who knew when Grimm would commit another massacre?
"Please tell me everything you know!"
For the Chief of Staff of the Navy to use the word "please" was a treatment that very few people in this world could enjoy.
Alessia bit her lip. That night, she had indeed been violated by Grimm… But now, she was slowly starting to accept this fact. After all, in her opinion, Grimm was more real than anyone she had encountered in the Etkexay Kingdom army before.
Most importantly, he was extremely powerful and could fulfill her ambitions. "I was just a tool used by the kingdom. I don't know much. That night…"
Alessia recounted everything she remembered about Grimm to Tsuru, with almost ninety percent of it being factual.
However, she said nothing about already being one of Grimm's subordinates.
Finally, she recounted her experiences after leaving the Kingdom of Etkexay, which were, of course, fabricated: "After leaving the kingdom's army, I wanted to end my life. I jumped into the sea, but unexpectedly drifted to a deserted island. By chance, I ate a Devil Fruit, the Paramecia-type—Healing-Healing Fruit. The markings on my face appeared after eating the Devil Fruit…"
Tsuru believed Alessia's story without reservation. After all, she thought no woman could remain so calm and composed after experiencing such an event. Moreover, Alessia had been an actress for ten years, and her acting was impeccable.
"Is that so? It's the Navy's dereliction of duty for failing to capture such a heinous pirate!" Tsuru expressed sympathy for Alessia's plight.
Seeing Tsuru's expression, Alessia knew she had gained her sympathy. Suddenly, an idea popped into her mind.
After about ten seconds of organizing her thoughts, Alessia stood before Tsuru and saluted: "I hate pirates (the World Government) like Grimm to the bone! Please allow me to join the Navy, Vice Admiral Tsuru!"
"En?"
A flicker of surprise flashed in Tsuru's eyes. After two seconds, she understood the reason behind her actions: "You want revenge on Grimm?"
Having had her most precious possession taken away, Alessia's actions were entirely within expectations.
"That is one reason, but now that I have the power of the Healing-Healing Fruit, I believe that by joining the Navy, I can save more people!"
Hearing Alessia's latter words, a sharp glint flashed in Tsuru's eyes. She stood up and said, "Think of a new name and codename. Your current name is known worldwide. For your reputation, you cannot use it anymore. As for the codename, it will be useful for many missions."
Tsuru's words indicated her agreement. Alessia was overjoyed. As the saying goes, when you're tired, someone gives you a pillow. When asked for a new name and codename, ideas immediately came to her mind, and she blurted them out: "My new name is Sally Whyte Main, my mother's name before she passed away. My codename is Discipline."
"Sally Whyte Main, acceptable. And this codename, Discipline?" Tsuru found the codename rather strange.
"Is it not acceptable?" Alessia, or rather, Whyte Main, retorted. She was a Discipline Priestess herself!
Tsuru spread the large Navy robe on her back and walked towards the door, saying to Discipline Whyte Main behind her: "Alright, you will use this codename from now on. Come back to Marine Headquarters with me. With your Devil Fruit ability, you should achieve great things. However, it's still too early to deal with Grimm."
"Yes!"
Sally Whyte Main nodded in agreement and quickly followed. The first step of the Bloody Crusaders plan: join the Navy. The plan is complete. Next, she will slowly gain the trust of the Navy and the World Government.
The World Government will sooner or later disappear in the flames of the Holy Light!
