Perhaps she was already doing better than most, even significantly better, but as she looked upward, she faced an insurmountable barrier...
She silently picked up the Cardinals she had thrown in anger just moments ago, these were all found by Isabella in the Storm Sea; she was very good at finding things, having helped locate all of Black Chief's Cardinals back then.
But the truly precious items, still intact, she didn't take out, instead leaving them on the Iceberg Queen, which they had brought here all along.
Alagina judged that these seemingly intact Cardinals were absolutely valuable, not only in monetary terms but in many other aspects, so even if the Iceberg Queen sank, she did not abandon the dozens of machines they retrieved from the Storm Sea.
Only, they had studied them for so long and still hadn't discovered their purpose, leaving them like glowing heaps of scrap metal.
