"I thought something was wrong."
Nami said in shock as she stood in front of the Sunny, which was docked at Amazon Lily's port.
The cheers of the Kuja warriors reached the outside of the island, and the group waiting on the boat wondered, "Is this an enemy attack?"
After that, Tashigi got the Mini Merry back and guided the Sunny into port.
After disembarking and traveling to where Luffy was, he seemed puzzled by the extremely welcoming atmosphere, but after hearing the story he finally understood.
"So what about Luffy and the others?"
"I'll be waiting for you all at the castle tower up ahead."
"Ugh...I missed my sleep."
Since there were no scoundrels targeting their benefactor's ship and there was no need for night watch, everyone decided to go ashore and stay the night on the Amazon Lily.
As a result, Bibi, who had been sleeping because of the vigil, complained a little that it had been a waste.
"This way," said Margaret, a Kuja warrior who was their guide, as she led the seven people.
"..."
"Uta-chan, what's wrong?"
"Oh, no. It's nothing."
Makino calls out to Uta, who seems to be deep in thought, but she shook her head and denied it.
But there was something bothering him on his face.
"Snake Princess, I have brought everyone with me."
"Yes, let me through."
The room Margaret showed us to was a special seat with a panoramic view of the town where preparations for the banquet were underway.
Luffy, Robin, and the others, as well as Hancock, Sandersonia, and Marigold, were already seated.
"You're Luffy's crew, right? I'm Boa Hancock. I'm the ruler of this country and the leader of the Kuja Pirates."
Hancock introduced herself - she must have really wanted to expose her back, as her outfit was extremely revealing, and she was wearing a bikini that barely covered her nipples.
Everyone wondered if she was happy about it or if she was feeling a bit exposed, and she introduced herself.Wake up・tree・hand・R・
"--And then there's Oto. Luffy and Uta's daughter."
Uta was holding Oto, but he was fast asleep and didn't seem like he was going to wake up.
Perhaps Luffy had been exhausted both physically and mentally from using him so much during the day, because although he woke him up once, he fell asleep again soon after.
Adele was also awake, but she looked sleepy and leaned against Makino.
"There's no need to drag a sleeping baby to the banquet. Margaret, carry him to the parlor."
"Oh, yes! Please, come this way."
"Don't touch me!!"
As Margaret reached out to lead the sleeping Oto into a quiet room, Uta screamed as if she had burst out laughing.
Margaret, Makino and the others, Hancock, and even Luffy were surprised by his reaction.
"...Ah, sorry. But, I'll take this child. I'll be the one to go to the party."
"Uh... yes. This way."
Margaret was a little confused by Uta's reaction, but quickly took Uta away.
As she saw Uta leave the banquet hall, Vivi muttered anxiously, "Uta, I wonder what's wrong?"
"...I guess it's a feeling that only a mother can understand, the desire to protect her child. Well, I can understand a little bit of what you're feeling."
"What...?"
I understand Uta's feelings, which means I understand and agree with her dislike for Hancock and the others.
"Oh, sorry. It's not that I have anything against you guys. I just... I don't want to trust pirates."
"What do you mean?"
"Hmm... I know it's not good to pry into people's pasts, but I don't want to leave the atmosphere awkward, so I'll just tell you the important things. Okay, Luffy?"
"Yeah... I'll take responsibility."
Yes, Uta has a past that is so profound that she made sure to ask Luffy for permission.
Makino and the others noticed this and agreed, "That's it."
Hancock nodded, thinking that this was the same as their days as slaves, and said, "I understand."
"Uta was apparently picked up by pirates when she was a baby. She doesn't even know what her real parents look like, and she was given the name Uta after they picked her up."
"Hmm."
"It seems she was well-treated by the pirate crew. She was raised as the captain's daughter, and just as her name suggests, she loved singing and called herself the musician of the pirate crew."
"That's when Luffy and I met, and we all seemed like a close-knit family."
Makino's explanation didn't seem like a bad idea. He frowned in confusion, wondering how that could be a reason to dislike them.
In fact, they even seem friendly towards pirates.
"...Ten years ago, those pirates attacked and destroyed a country called Elegia. They left 9-year-old Uta behind in that country."
"What...? What does that mean?"
"Even Uta herself doesn't know the details. But she believes she was abandoned by Elegia, who was destroyed by her family, the pirates."
Indeed, with that explanation, it's no wonder that Nami thought she'd been abandoned.
Whatever the circumstances, there is no doubt that it left a deep wound in the heart of young Uta.
"I waited for days, even months, for them to come and pick me up. I yelled at my family for making stupid excuses like, 'Sorry, we forgot to pick you up,' and then I cried, and then they came back together... and the pirate never came to pick me up again."
"...That's terrible."
Luffy concluded the story he'd heard that night with these words, and Hancock understood his pain. When she herself had become a slave, she had harbored the impossible hope that the Kuja Pirates would one day come to her rescue. However, once Hancock and her companions had fallen into the hands of kidnappers, no one was able to track them down, let alone help those who had become slaves of the Celestial Dragons.
Childhood trauma is not easily eradicated. Hancock has seen his sister, Sandersonia, panic many times as she recalls her time as a slave.
Thinking about it that way, if a Celestial Dragon were in front of me, I might reject him like Uta.
Indeed, as Nami said at the beginning, I could understand Uta's feelings a little.
"Do you have any thoughts about pirates as well?"
"...The person who raised Nojiko and me was killed by pirates right in front of my eyes."
"Huh..."
Many children lose their parents to pirate raids. Even on Kuja, they take lives by crushing garrisons and defensive forces that resist. Some of these people are waiting for their return.
Hancock had intended to face up to this fact, but hearing that his comrades, whom he had benefactored, had fallen victim to pirates broke his heart.
"The truth is, I don't have very good feelings towards pirates either. But not as bad as Uta. That girl... she has a motherly desire to protect not only herself, but also Oto."
"...I see."
Shortly afterwards, Marigold, representing the group, led a toast and the banquet began.
"Once again, I thank you."
For a while, we enjoyed the feast, drinking and food, and watching the unexpected events taking place around the castle.
Nami, who is actually the heaviest drinker in the group, defeats Nojiko and the Kuja warriors, who are also heavy drinkers, while Kaya and Robin, who love adventures and legends, listen to Sandersonia tell them about her journey so far.
Perhaps due to her drunken state, Vivi danced a dance that is said to have been passed down throughout Alabasta, and Mikita performed a pole-dancing-like dance along with it.
The earnest Makino listened to the instructions on how to prepare the food that was brought to her, and Tashigi also asked Marigold questions about the battle.
Suddenly, at the guest of honor table, Hancock bowed to Luffy, who was sitting next to her, and expressed her gratitude.
"I never thought the day would come when we would have to show our skin like this."
"...By the way, there's one thing that's bothering me..."
"What is it?"
What caught Luffy's attention was the state of the town that could be seen from the guest of honor's seat.
Naturally, this place is off-limits to men, so there are only women here.
As a result, the people of the country are enjoying a banquet in the castle town, all of whom are women.
"What's going on with the idea of chastity in this country?"
And was he drunk, or was it just some kind of event?
Some groups took off their clothes, exposing their voluptuous breasts, and competed in a drinking contest, while others even stripped off completely and danced like in a strip show.
"Chastity...? Ah... In this country, clothing has a strong meaning of protection and keeping warm. There is no shame in being naked. In fact, we don't really understand why women in the other world are so embarrassed."
The women of Amazon Lily are a tribe that fights with nothing but their bodies. They believe that strength is directly linked to beauty, and it is even a source of pride for them to show off their training.bodynude body
Now that I think about it, I remember that Hancock had no hesitation at all about exposing her breasts when showing the Celestial Dragon brand at the arena.
"Besides, I don't need armor, I can protect myself with my Haki in case of emergency. Clothes are merely decoration."
"Haki?"
When I replied that it was a word I had never heard before, he was a little surprised and said, "You don't know it?"
Even though the arena was interrupted and left unresolved, he had faced Sandersonia and Marigold and was unaware of the power that could be said to be the source of his strength.The Great RouteGrand Line
"Haki is like a fighting spirit, so to speak. It varies from person to person depending on talent and training, but there is a world of difference between being able to use it and not being able to. If you wear it, you can attack entities that are immune to physical attacks, and it can interfere with the opponent's body...or if you are like me or you , it can also serve as a defense against that."Natural systemLogiaSuperhuman typeParamecia
"...Come to think of it."
The reason Luffy burned Sandersonia's clothes in the arena was because he was trying to tag her body but it was repelled. He tried to attach "Damage" directly to her as he usually does, but it didn't work, so he attached "Flame" to her clothes to attack indirectly.
Also, there was something strange I felt during the fight with Arlong in the East Blue. He probably can't use Haki, but he probably has a similar ability.
That's why there was a strange resistance to tagging.
"It's strange. A man who doesn't even know the spirit of ambition would save us."
"That's the way the world is. Sometimes you're born and you live without knowing anything. Sometimes you travel to find out."
"...Is that the girl?"
Hancock saw Adele, who was bored because she was a child and didn't eat much or drink alcohol, gazing curiously at the city.
"Adele was captured by pirates at the age of three and was rescued by an old man who was forced to work as a cook, and has lived his life as a man ever since. He is currently on my ship in search of his long-lost brother, but he has lived in a small world since he was barely old enough to understand things, so there are many things he doesn't know."
"...That girl is also a victim of pirates."
Uta, her daughter Oto, and Adele.
When I realized that all of this was caused by my colleagues, I had some thoughts.
"It's not like I want any sympathy. I'm sure they don't want any awkward sympathy either."
"...I guess so. But..."
"Even pirates aren't all bad people."
Makino said this to Hancock, who was lost in thought. She must have come over because all the food had been served and there was nothing left to ask.
"The reason we were able to go and pick up Uta-chan is thanks to the pirate group that Luffy's brother belongs to."
"What...my brother is a pirate?"
"It does have the word 'righteous' in it though."
It was Luffy's brother-in-law, Ace, who gave him Elegia in Alabasta .permanent guidelineEternal Pose
Also, in Makino's eyes, Shanks did not look like Morgana, and could only be seen as Peace Main.
"...That's right! Hey, Mr. Hancock---"
"Why again..."
The changing room of Kuja Castle.
It was Uta, who was taking off her clothes while complaining a little.
[Everyone seems to be taking a bath in the large public bath, so I'll watch over you, so go ahead.]
Luffy said this to Uta, who had stayed in the guest room, using the excuse that her daughter Oto was asleep because she didn't want to attend the pirate banquet.
To be honest, he wanted to leave the island immediately. From what I've heard, he feels indebted to Luffy and the others, so I don't think he'll do anything.
But still, I couldn't believe it.
"...Huh."
She knows she's being stubborn. They're not like Shanks and the others who left her behind and lied to Luffy and the others.
He truly feels indebted to Luffy and welcomes him back.
"Ah, you're finally here."
"Uta, it feels good!"
After taking off his clothes, he entered the room and found Makino and the others relaxing in the bathtub, everyone there except Luffy and Oto.
"Ugh...!"
"Come on, come here."
Nami calls out to the person next to her. It's Hancock.
She unashamedly exposed her beautiful naked body, so beautiful that even Uta, who is of the same sex, was captivated, and she soaked in the bathtub as if embodying that beauty.
Suppressing my embarrassment and uncomfortable feelings, I sat next to Nami, and the warm water enveloped my body, giving me a sense of security.
"Phew..."
"The water is delicious. It comes from a hot spring that flows underground on the island, and is one of the things our country is proud of."
"...I guess so."
It's true that this is my first time in a hot spring. I've always been on boats since I was little, and I grew up surrounded by guys who didn't even bother to shower.
Even on Elegia, people couldn't waste daily necessities, so they only had a bath once every few days, and it was only on the Merry and Sunny that they could finally get a decent bath.
"Hehe, Uta-chan. There's a saying I heard from a sailor a long time ago, it's called 'naked friendship.'"
"Naked, dating?"
"People tend to keep all sorts of thoughts and opinions to themselves, but this proverb says that they should take off their clothes and reveal them naked."
Makino runs a bar in a remote rural area that is often visited by people from outside, and he often hears stories about other countries.
In order to take advantage of this, Tashigi and Kaya remembered the explanation that they had accidentally seen Hancock's back in the large bath at Kuja Castle, and invited her to take a bath with them.
"...You're quite delicate."
Hancock said as he looked at Uta's body.
People tend to focus on Oto's poor growth, but Uta also had not been able to eat properly since she was a child due to the harsh environment she lived in.
Although she is plump now, she is still small compared to an adult woman, with thin arms and legs.
"Don't pity me. Luffy loves me even though I'm ugly."
"Hmm... he seems like the kind of guy who judges people by their inner qualities, not their outer appearance."
As Hancock praised Luffy's character, Uta thought for a moment.
I've always been averse to trying it and never really thought about it, but Hancock's situation may not be that different from Uta's.
"Honestly, I envy you. There aren't many people who will come and meet you, even if it means risking their life, and who will accept you no matter what form you take. If I had someone like that, I wouldn't have to be afraid of your back."
"Hancock..."
Uta's only impression of pirates was that they were evil people who lied without hesitation and stole important things.
However, Hancock's past and his inner thoughts seemed similar to those of the person he had been abandoned.
"And there's one more thing, there's an error in what you said."
"picture?"
"This Amazon Lily is beautiful when it has power. I am the strongest empress in this country, and therefore it can be said that I am the most beautiful. But how can a mother who raises and protects her child alone be ugly or weak? If you belittle yourself, I will reject it. You are a beautiful person with a strong heart."
"H--!!"
Uta blushed at the sudden praise, but because she was proud to be a mother, she couldn't deny it, and she dipped into the bathtub up to her mouth, bubbling.
"Ahaha, Mom's face is bright red!"
"Uh, don't tease me, Oto... Oto!?"
Before I knew it, my daughter was sleeping next to me.
Makino and Hancock didn't seem to notice either, their eyes widening.
"Well, when did you get here?"
"Saki! Daddy wakes up at weird times and dinner isn't ready yet."
Unlike adults, children cannot be forced to live an unhealthy lifestyle, and since they hadn't eaten dinner, they must have been woken up once.
Then Luffy came along as usual.
"Wow, what an amazing bath."
Naturally, this is a large public bath. And in a country where only women live, there are no partitions separating men and women.
"Wh, what...?!"
The reason Hancock is panicking.
The Kuja warriors have little shame about sex. This can be attributed to the environment in which they live, where they have little contact with the opposite sex.
The same was true for Hancock, who felt no embarrassment about being seen naked by others.
The opposite was also true: seeing a naked man might make me feel disgusted, but I never felt any shame.
"What, what's that...?!"
However, Luffy's genitals were nothing compared to what he had seen then.
What occupied Hancock's mind was "fear," "expectation," and "interest."
"...!"
Then, as if she had just thought of something, Kaya whispered to Nojiko next to her.
Although I was amazed and thought, "You're the same as always," I was also excited somehow.
"Hey, Luffy. Since we have such a big bath, why don't we all do our usual thing?"
"Huh?...Yeah. I still love you."
"Wh, what is it?"
Just as I was wondering what Hancock was going to do, Kaya, Nojiko, Nami, Makino, Vivi, and Tashigi got out of the bathtub.
Luffy activated his ability, "Paste," and softened a part of the floor, then lay down on it.
"Fufu, we can't have such a large group on the Sunny, so I'm looking forward to it❤"
With that, Kaya applied body soap to her chest, lathered it up like kneading bread, and then wrapped her arms around Luffy's right arm.
Nojiko did the same to his left leg, Nami to his left arm, Vivi to his right leg, Makino to his head, and Tashigi to his chest, pressing their skin covered in lathered body soap against him, enveloping Luffy in their soft touch and warmth.
"W-what on earth are you doing?! That's shameless!?"
"Hehe."
"We belong to Luffy."
"teeth?"
Robin just smiles at the flustered Hancock, and Uta starts saying strange things.
No, it's true that the six women who washed Luffy's body with their own bodies could truly be called ``things.''
What I can't understand is that they are happy to be treated like that.
Hancock could not understand how someone could flirt with the opposite sex, even if it was his benefactor.
"...Ah, that looks delicious...ah..."
"Hey."
"Kyaaa❤️"
"Hk!"
With her chest pressed against Luffy's legs, Vivi has Luffy's erect genitals right in front of her.
Vivi licked it and tried to put it in her mouth, but Luffy moved his hips slightly and slapped Vivi across the face with his genitals, scolding her.
It was far from an attack, just a slight touch of her genitals, but to Hancock it looked incredibly powerful.
"No, Vivi-chan. There will be a fight over him, so it's decided that Luffy will be the one to nominate him."
Although they enjoy the pleasure of touching Luffy's body, there is still a fight over his one and only genitalia.
So to keep things fair, Luffy had decided to do the cleaning.
So even though Makino was criticizing him with her words, she couldn't hide her desire with her eyes.
"Well, today...Adele. Shall we do it?"
"Huh?!"
Adele never expected to be nominated, so she was completely unsure and made a strange noise.
"Um, Oto?"
"I replaced Adele last time. It's my turn."
"Tch... yes."
The last time she took a bath with Luffy, Oto had been selfish and switched places with Adele.
So this time I reluctantly nodded.
"What are you making a child like that do?"
"Before she was an 11-year-old child, Adele belonged to Luffy."
Hancock could not understand why Adele, who was still a child and under the protection of adults, was chosen.
Even with Robin's explanation, Hancock looked confused.
"Luffy... I'll do it."
Before anyone knew it, Adele was positioned between Nojiko and Vivi, and with her face bright red, she took Luffy's penis into her mouth.
"Mmm... kiss...❤"
She opens her small mouth as wide as she can, slowly taking it deep into her mouth without using her teeth, and then uses her tongue to serve it.
"Mmhh❤... hmm❤"
Then he began to gather saliva in his mouth and move his head up and down as if to swallow it all.
It's a practiced movement that you wouldn't expect from a young girl.
"Mmhh❤Obo❤Go❤"
In his tight mouth, he could easily reach the back of his throat. Even the nausea that rose up as he thrust his penis inside himself was endearing, and he was filled with a sense of possessiveness at the thought of having Luffy's genitals all to himself in his mouth.
The respect and gratitude for his service, the sexual pleasure welling up deep inside his body, and the affection he felt as if he was being used as an object by Luffy filled him with such happiness.
"Ngyu❤Ohh, oh❤Ooh❤Oh❤Ohh❤❤"
"Geez, what a crazy thing to do again..."
Even though her eyes were half-rolled, I was starting to get used to seeing her using the back of her throat to serve me.
Adele has a masochistic streak that is somewhat different from Kaya and Tashigi, and she enjoys being treated like an object.
They are the type of people who find sexual pleasure in masochistic acts, especially those that involve pain and suffering.
"Yaaah ❤ Luffy...❤"
"Mmph❤More...❤"
"Oh ❤ I'm grabbing you ❤"
"Haa❤nchu❤"
"Mmm ❤ Does it feel good?"
"Luffy-san...❤"
Perhaps inspired by the young Adele's actions, the other five girls' movements became more sensual and intense than before.
She serves one man with all her might, with her whole body, literally offering herself up.
"Ahh...❤Mmm...❤"
It was as if he was a man who controlled women and commanded females.
A scene that embodies the idea that "if you are born a woman, you should offer everything with your body."
It was so imposing, so overwhelming, so indomitable.
He is truly the King himself.
"Wh-why not... ❤ I... I... ❤❤"
When he was a slave, he saw the Celestial Dragons standing above others, and they seemed nothing more than a mocking threat, but now his body tingles at the sight of a true King.
Her womb aches with the desire to give everything she has, to be completely dominated, and to be completely dedicated.
"(Ah... I am...)"
Hancock felt no disgust for his actions. In fact, he even felt a sense of relief.
I was fascinated by Luffy as a person and his way of life.
"Okay, let's put it out."
"❤!! Mmmm❤❤ Mmmm❤❤❤!!"
When Luffy ejaculated, Adele desperately swallowed the semen that filled her mouth, trying not to spill a single drop.
Adele gulped, making a gulping sound that shouldn't come from a human body, and went limp as the semen passed down her throat.
By the time he finished ejaculating, he seemed to be unconscious, and was lying limp with his genitals still in his mouth.
"Okay, good boy."
"Ohhhh~~~❤❤❤"
When Adele stroked her head as she desperately swallowed Luffy's semen, her body reflexively trembled with pleasure.
However, it would be dangerous to leave Adele unconscious with her airway blocked, so Bibi removed her mouth from her genitals and flipped her over onto her back.
"--Thank you for the meal❤"
"Muuuuuh!!!?"
As she presses her lips together with Adele's, a slurping ❤ slurping ❤ ❤ sounds are heard, and I would like to think that when she sucks out the semen that is stuck in Adele's throat, it is not out of Bibi's desire to drink semen, but rather as a way to save a life.
Adele thrashes about, but when Bibi thrusts her long, slender fingers into her dripping wet crotch and lightly plays with her, she climaxes with a moan and calms down.
"Mmm... Luffy...❤"
"We too...❤"
"Please give me a treat...❤"
Perhaps they were taken in by the atmosphere, or perhaps they were aroused by serving Luffy, but Nami, Nojiko, and Kaya approached him in a fawning manner.
"Mmph❤Mmph❤"
"Hum❤Much❤"
"Ahh ❤ Luffy ❤ ❤ I love you ❤ ❤ More ❤ ❤ Kisses ❤ ❤"
Nojiko takes Luffy's penis, which has still not gone limp even though he has already been fucked by Adele , into her mouth, and Nami licks his balls, which are full of semen.ejaculationdashi
While receiving the ministrations of her stepsisters, a woman named Kaya, who appears to be a sheltered young lady, speaks obscene words and leans over Luffy like a mother bird, asking for a kiss.
"Haa❤hh❤"
"Hancock? What's wrong?"
"Ugh, shut up!!"
Hancock should have hated women who fawned over men, but for some reason, she found herself drawn to them.
If I were the one to service that huge genitalia with my mouth, if I were the one to directly touch the scrotum, the source of the power that makes that woman submit...
And if only I were the one who could seek love like that.
Up until now, even the thought of it would have made him vomit. But just thinking about it being Luffy made his body heat up.
He was able to hold back because Uta, Robin, and Oto were nearby, but if he had been watching the footage on the Eizou Den Den Mushi in an empty room, he would have definitely been playing with his own body. Hancock couldn't understand how he could be so sure.
"Hey, Hancock. What do you think makes a woman happy?"
"Wh-What's this... out of the blue..."
Uta asked Hancock, who was trying to control himself.
What is happiness for a woman? I have never thought about such a thing. For me, being a woman was enough. Men are not necessary in the world I live in.
No one trusted any man other than the fishman, who hated the same things as them, and the human who had brought them to this island.
"Luffy will give you the happiness of a woman."
Uta's words resonated in Hancock's heart like words of power.
It was as if she was indirectly saying, "You don't know what it means to be happy as a woman." Up until now, I would have scoffed at that.
But in this situation, before they knew it, Nojiko was lying on her back covered in semen, Nami was curled up as if kneeling and semen was dripping from her crotch, Kaya was leaning against the wall as if she couldn't muster the strength and was urinating everywhere, and Tashigi was trembling and splashing her love juices everywhere.
Adele and Bibi peck at each other and share their semen in pleasure.
And now Makino is being violated in the ekiben style.
Everyone looks happy. Yes, that's it. It breaks my heart to see them.
Then I realized that the pain was coming from the desire that "it wasn't me that was being done."
"Luffy will make you happy if you ask him to. If that's what you want."
"...But...I am...the Snake Princess...of this country..."
"'Naked friendship', right?"
The thought that she had to continue being the Snake Princess, but Uta denied it in one word.
Yes, a naked relationship - exposing oneself. This is the bath, and my feelings as the Snake Princess, one of the Seven Warlords, or just "Boa Hancock" are...
"Luffy"
Hancock calls out to the man who has just ejaculated into Makino and is now using her mouth to clean his genitals, which are now covered in bodily fluids.
Her expression is neither that of an empress ruling a country nor that of a pirate captain.
"Please rape me."
She looked like a girl drowning in love.
In the story of Nejimaki Island, Uta's hatred for Shanks and his crew seemed too strong, so I included some depictions of Uta's pirate hatred, for a small reason, to convey the feeling that "I hate the Red Hair Pirates, but I've been able to get along with some of the other pirate crews." That made the story longer.
I struggled with how to get Luffy to open up after initially rejecting Hancock, and I tried to connect with her in that vein, so instead of just talking naked, they ended up having a "naked get-together" in the large bath on the top floor of Kuja Castle.
However, when I added some soap play as an introduction, it ended up being unexpectedly long.
Incidentally, I chose these six people because Uta, Oto, and Robin have had a string of appearances recently, and Tashigi, on the other hand, had unexpectedly few scenes, so I ended up using the original members for service.
I wanted to include Mikita, but for some reason, if the two ability users weren't participating, she would have naturally gone with him.
Adele, too, didn't have many scenes, so I ended up doing the finishing touches.
