It was a bright warm morning in the Grand Line and Pirate King Luffy was currently sitting in his favourite spot, and curled up in his lap was his five-year-old daughter Belle. The two were currently enjoying the warm weather, until they noticed a patch of land appear over the horizon. As if on cue, the two of them grinned and looked at each other.
"Ready princess?" Luffy smiled.
"Mm-hm." Belle replied before they both took a deep breath.
"GUYS~! I SEE AN ISLAND~!" they both sang.
"Well spotted you two. We should be docking in about half an hour." Nami said, who had just walked over to join them. "From the looks of the climate zone we're in, I think this is a spring island. But it may be nearing a large downpour, judging by those clouds over it. So make sure you put your coats on.
"But Mummy, it's nice and warm~!" Belle moaned. "I don't wanna wear a coat.~"
"Just do as your Mum says, sweetie. She knows what she's saying." Luffy said as he got up. "Come on. Let's go play fetch with Blizzard for the time being. You go get Hanako, while I get Blizzard."
"Okay Daddy."

Luffy, Belle and Zoro and Robin's son Hanako were standing in a triangle on the deck, with Blizzard in the centre running from one to the other as they tossed the ball to each other teasing the wolf-dog.
"Come on! Come on! Gimme the ball already! Gimme the ball~!" Blizzard whined to Luffy, his doggy instincts taking control.
"Shishishi~! Well you'll have to catch it before we do, buddy." Luffy laughed as he threw the ball to Hanako who caught it, before Blizzard dashed towards him.
"Here it comes Belle!" he said before tossing it to her, but as she caught it, Blizzard had already caught up with her and tackled her to the ground, licking her face playfully.
Slurp! Slurp! Slurp!
"HAHAHAHA! Blizzard stoppit! That tickles! Okay you win!" she laughed as she tried to push the large animal of her, but failing to do so.
"Come on Blizzard, that's enough. Now off." Luffy said, as his dog obeyed. "Great game you two. You did a good job."
"Thanks Dad." Belle said as she wiped the last Blizzard's slobber off her face.
"Hey Uncle Luffy. We're here!" Hanako said who was standing on the railing. Luffy and Belle immediately joined him and beamed. The island was very lush and green. The sun was shining brightly and there was a thick jungle just ahead of the shore.
"This has adventure written all over it." Luffy grinned excitedly.
"We're here everyone~!" Belle called as the crew came out to meet them.
"Wow. That's one lush island. Quite a lot of plants." Usopp said.
"I bet there's plenty of herbs I could gather for my medicine." Chopper said.
"And I bet there's plenty of fruit too." Sanji said as he took a drag on his cigarette.
"Plus the weather is SUPER warm. Perfect time for sunbathing." Franky said as he looked at the bright glowing sun.
"Yohoho! And the perfect time for some music. YOW!" Brook said as he strummed his guitar.
"Well it will be for now at least. There's going to be a pretty big monsoon in about an hour. So make sure you're all back on the ship by then.
"No problem. Time to go exploring~!" Luffy cheered as he began to jump over the rail. Whap! Nami grabbed her husband by the back of his shirt.
"Not so fast, mister. Don't tell me you've forgotten?" she asked.
"Forgotten what?" Luffy asked. Nami sighed.
"You promised to help me chart this island. Remember?"
"But Nami~! I was gonna go adventure~" Luffy pouted.
"Not today. But I promise I'll…make it up to you later." She whispered naughtily as she kissed his cheek. Luffy immediately smiled.
"Okay. You've got a deal, gorgeous." He snickered.
"What does Mum mean?" Belle asked.
"Thaaaat doesn't really matter right now, Belle." Zoro said as he awkwardly scratched the back of his head. Belle then sat down on the deck and huffed.
"No fair. Now Daddy can't take me exploring and everyone else is busy." She said grumpily.
"I'm not busy. I'll take you for an explore, Belle." Usopp said.
"Really, Uncle Usopp? You mean it?" Belle asked, her face brightening up.
"Sure. Anything for my favourite little niece." Usopp grinned as he playfully ruffled her long black hair, making her giggle, before she tackled the sniper with a hug.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you~!" she cheered.
"He-Hey! Take it easy, whirlwind. Don't tire yourself out before we even leave the ship" Usopp said as he returned his niece's hug.
"Thanks a lot Usopp. You always know how make my little Belle smile." Luffy said as he put a hand on his friend's shoulder.
"Well you know me Lu. I'm always good with kids." Usopp grinned proudly.
"Alright then. You two get ready to go and be sure to be back here in an hour. I don't want either of you catching a cold in the rain." Nami said.
"Don't worry you're pretty orange head, Nami. I won't let her out of my sight. You can trust me." Usopp said, with a thumbs up. "Do you wanna come along too, Hanako?"
"No thanks. I've got training with Dad." The green haired boy said as he went over to Zoro.
"Maybe next time." Zoro added.
"Suit yourself. Come on Belle, let's go for an adventure." Usopp said as he leapt over the rail.
"Yay~!" Belle cheered as she jumped down beside him and he lifted her onto his shoulders before running off into the jungle, the two of them laughing all the way.
"Wait, you two forgot your coats!" Nami called, but they were already out of ears reach. "Oh for goodness sake."
"Don't worry, I'm sure they'll be fine, sweetheart." Luffy said as he put an arm around his wife. "Usopp's a brave warrior of the sea, remember. He can protect Belle."
"I suppose you're right. I just can't help but worry when it comes to her. She's so energetic for her age."
"Well what do you expect? She has my brawn and your brains. She's probably one of the strongest children I know."
"Yeah, you're right. She's going to be wonderful queen someday."

"Captain's log: day twenty-seven last Tuesday. I have infiltrated the jungle with my trusty sniper and first mate Usopp. Our mission: find the golden melon in the centre of the ancient ruins, before the moon is full and the volcano erupts, summoning the sea kings of East Blue." Belle said from Usopp's shoulders.
"Hey, I'm the captain, missy." Usopp smirked.
"Not in this adventure, Uncle Usopp." Belle smirked back as they continued their trek, until she gasped.
"Uncle Usopp, look!" She shouted in excitement.
"What is it kiddo?" Usopp said until he looked where she was pointing to see a shimmering gold beetle on a nearby tree, which was sipping some nectar. "Wow a golden Hercules. There worth a fortune in bug collecting. Not that we really need the money, since we're loaded for life. But I bet Luffy, Chopper and Hanako would be really impressed if we caught it."
"Yeah, come on let's catch it!" Belle cheered as she climbed down from Usopp's back and tried to run towards the beetle, but he held her back.
"Not so fast, you'll scare it away. The number one rule of bug catching is silence and patience."
"But that's two rules, Uncle Usopp."
"Nevermind. The point is, you have to sneak up on it quietly and not make a sound. You're old man and I caught plenty of beetles, so listen carefully, young bug catcher."
"Yes master." Belle said with a small bow.
"Okay now I want you to walk very slowly towards the beetle, and try not to step on any twigs or anything that'll make a noise to scare it." Usopp instructed. Belle nodded before slowly tiptoeing towards the beetle, as quiet as a mouse.
"Okay. Now slowly reach out to it. And when your hands are close enough, gently grip the side of its thorax."
"What's a 'snorlax'?" Belle asked confused.
"Thorax. It's the main body of the insect; its tummy." Usopp explained. Belle nodded again before she began to stretch her hand out towards the shiny gold beetle until her hand was just above its thorax. The bug buzzed slightly and shifted, causing Belle to remain still as a statue. She looked back only to see Usopp smile at her.
"It's okay. You're doing great. You're almost there." Belle turned to face the insect again before taking a deep breath and gently grasped the side of its body and pulling it away from the bark of the tree, its six legs kicking the air.
"I DID IT~! I DID IT~!" she cheered as she ran back to Usopp who was also cheering.
"Alright Belle! You caught a Golden Hercules. That's the highest honour for a bug catcher and an even higher honour for a beginner. I'm so proud of you." Belle blushed and shyly kicked the ground with her foot.
"So what do we do with the bug?"
"Just a minute." Usopp said as he reached into his shoulder bag and took out a jar. "Put him in here." He said after placing some leaves and some of the nectar in the jar. Belle slowly brought the beetle over to the jar and then gently lowered it in before Usopp screwed the lid on (which had been punctured with air holes of course), gazing at the rare insect.
"So what do we do now?" Belle asked as Usopp put the jar in his bag.
"Let's keep exploring. There's still some time left before the rain starts."
"Okay, let's go up the hill. I bet we'll be able to see the Sunny." Belle suggested.
"Good idea. Race ya!" Usopp said before they both took off towards the hill, laughing together.
XXX
"Wow~! You can see everything from up here." Belle gasped from up on Usopp's shoulders as they stood near the top of the hill.
"And there's the Sunny. You can even Zoro and Hanako training." Usopp pointed.
"Let's call to them. Maybe they can hear us." Belle said.
"Okay. One, two, three."
"HELLOOOOOO~!" they both called, their hands cupped around their mouths. Zoro and Hanako actually stopped training and looked around, but couldn't seem to spot Usopp and Belle, so they shrugged and went back to duelling. The sniper and princess giggled.
"They can't see us." Belle said as she tried to stifle her laughter.
"Hm-hm. Anyway, we should probably get back. I think that monsoon'll be here any minute." Usopp said as he felt a drop of rain hit his palm. "Uh it's already started. Let's hop it." Usopp added as he set Belle down and they began to make their way back down the hill. By the time they were halfway down the hill, the rain was already coming down very heavily and they were both dripping wet.
"Uncle Usopp, I'm cold." Belle shivered.
"It's okay, honey, we'll be fine. I know the way back. And once were there we'll each have a nice hot shower to warm up."
"Yeah that sounds goo-WHAA!" Belle suddenly yelped as she slipped and began to slide down the hill. Due to the heavy rain, the dirt ground had become very soft, muddy and slippery and a mudslide was starting to happen.
"Belle hold on!" Usopp said as he slid down after her, until he managed to grab her hand and pull her into his arms. "I GOTCHA!"
"Uncle Usopp, look out!" Belle pointed to a large gaping hole in the hillside and all the mud and water was flowing in.
"Crap!-crap!-crap!-crap!-crap!" he shouted as he tried to grab onto a tree root or something, before they both slid into the hole.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHH~!" they both screamed before Usopp grabbed his slingshot.
"Green star- trampolia!" Twang! Usopp shot a green seed at the rocky ground, as the large jelly like plant sprouted beneath their feet and sent them shooting back into the air. BOIYOING~!
"Green star- cotton ball!" Twang! Usopp shot a bright white seed which sprouted into a large bed of cotton wool which they both landed in. POOF!
"Are you okay Belle?" Usopp said to the half-pint who was curled up in his arms.
"I-I-I-I'm okay." She stuttered. "I…I thought I was going to die."
"Hey, shh it's okay. As long if you're with me, I won't let anything happen to you, Belle." Usopp said as he hugged her protectively, before standing up. "Now come on, let's get out of here. There's flowing water, so there must be an exit. We just have to follow the stream."
"Okay Uncle Usopp." Belle said as she began to walk beside him, holding his hand, though she couldn't help but start sniffling. Usopp decided that it was probably the cold. But he couldn't be more wrong.

Meanwhile, back on the Sunny, Nami and Luffy had just returned from charting the island, so find Brook and Sanji pulling the tarp over Nami's tangerine grove so the plants wouldn't be drowned.
"We're back guys!" Luffy called, gaining their attention.
"Oh you both must be freezing. Head inside, we'll be right behind you." Sanji said, as he and Brook finished pulling the tarp over.
"Oh I'm soaked through to the bone, even though I'm all bone. Yohohohoho!" Brook laughed as the four of them entered the aquarium bar to find the rest of the crew.
"Welcome back, you two." Robin said who was currently reading to Hanako. The green haired pipsqueak leapt down from his mother's lap before hugging Luffy and Nami.
"I missed you Uncle Luffy, Aunt Nami." He said.
"Aww we missed you too sweetheart~" Nami cooed as she kissed her nephew on the forehead, but then she looked up. "Where're Usopp and Belle?"
"They haven't got back yet." Zoro said.
"They must be getting SUPER soaked out there." Franky said. By this point Nami was getting worried. Luffy, noticing this, gave her a kiss.
"Hey, don't worry. It's only been ten minutes since the monsoon started. They'll be back soon. Besides it's only rain. What's the worst that could happen? Belle and Usopp have had plenty of colds."
"You don't understand Luffy. This isn't a normal heavy rainfall. If they stay out there for too long their cold could become hypothermia and then they could get very sick." Nami panicked.
"Look I know you're worried about her, but I trust Usopp will keep her safe. He's the kind of guy that would give you the shirt on his back if you needed it. I know he'll bring Belle back safe and sound and even if they do get Hypothermia, Chopper'll cure them up fine."
"That's right. I'll have them warmed up in a jiffy, Nami." Chopper said. Even though the navigator was worried, she smiled, knowing that Usopp would indeed protect her daughter to the end.

Back underground, Usopp and Belle were following the stream through the cavern, in order to find the exit. However Belle was starting to get scared.
"Uncle Usopp, I'm frightened." She whimpered.
"It's okay Belle. We're going to get out of here, I promise."
"But what if we don't?! What if we get even more lost? What if we never reach the end of the cave? What if when we get to the end, there's just a tiny little hole we can't get through? Then we'll starve to death! I'll never see Mummy or Daddy again!" she began to cry. This really tore the sniper up. He hated seeing his crew cry, especially someone as young and innocent as Belle. Left with no other options, he knelt down and pulled her into a hug.
"Monkey D. Bellemere. You listen to me, because I'm about to give you a lesson on being brave. You're the daughter of the bravest man I know and what do you think it means to be brave?"
"…It…it means not giving up?" Belle sniffed.
"Exactly."
"It means pulling through to the end without losing hope?" Belle said, a little less sadly.
"Right!" Usopp said, a grin beginning to spread across his face.
"It means standing up to fear and not letting it walk all over you like how Uncle Sanji walks all over anyone who tries to loot our ship." Belle said, who no longer sounded frightened. Usopp laughed at the comparison.
"Now you've got it!" he smiled as he brushed a couple of tears away from Belle's face, with his thumb. "No matter what happens to you. Even when we aren't there, never forget who you are, Belle, because you have to be one of the, if not the bravest little girls I've ever met. Trust me, we met another little five-year-old girl just like you, who was easily scared, but after an adventure with us, she became strong and brave and learned to stand up for herself. We know you can do the same." Belle hugged him tightly, a few happy tears escaping her eyes.
"I love you, Uncle Usopp."
"I love you too." Usopp said, as he kissed her cheek and returned the hug. "Now let's go home."
"Mm-hm." The two of them continued to follow the small stream until they noticed a light ahead of them.
"You see? We made it, Belle." Usopp grinned as they ran towards the light and out of the tunnel, finding themselves back outside the mountain.
"You were right. We got out. Now we can go home! I never thought I'd miss the rain." SPLISH-SPLASH! Belle cheered as she splashed around in the puddles. Usopp smiled proudly at how all the fear in her had vanished.
"Ha-ha! Come on you, let's get back to the ship. Your Mum and Dad must be worried sick." Usopp said as he put her on his shoulders once more and began to walk back, until he stopped. "But which way is back? We were in that mountain for a quite a while. I don't know which part of the island we're on."
"Come on Uncle Usopp. You're turning into Uncle Zoro." Belle giggled.
"I'm nothing like him. Let's just walk around the mountain until we find the path we were using." Usopp suggested, as he began to walk around the mountain, looking for the path, but little did he know, they were being watched by several pairs of fierce looking eyes, and none of them belonged to Nami.
XXX
"Right! That's it! I'm going out to look for them!" Nami said as she stood up from the table and put on her coat.
"Nami wait!" Luffy said as he put his hand on her shoulder. "I'm coming too." Nami just nodded.
"Wait me too!" Chopper said.
"No offense, Chopper, but why do you want to go?" Franky asked.
"If they're hurt, I'll need to be there. Of course I hope they're not." Chopper replied as he changed to his walk point.
"Then I'm coming too, little brother." Blizzard said. "I can help sniff them out. Plus we'll find them quicker if I take Luffy and you take Nami."
"Good idea big brother." Chopper said. "Nami, get on my back. Luffy, you ride Blizzard. We'll split up and search for them."
"Right. The rest of you stay here in case they come back. We'll keep in touch with the transponder snails." Nami said as she climbed onto Chopper, as did Luffy with Blizzard.
"Let's ride." He said. AAAROOOOOOOO! Blizzard howled as he and Chopper took off with Nami and Luffy.
"Just keep your eyes peeled for them. Call me if you find them." Luffy said.
"You too." Nami replied as Chopper ran off to one part of the island while Blizzard took off in another direction.

Back in the jungle, Usopp and Belle were still wandering around and the rain was still coming down hard.
"How you doin' Belle?" Usopp asked, but then his face filled with worry when he saw the half-pint shivering. "Oh no you're freezing. You're gonna get sick if you don't wrap up." He then pulled off his shirt and wrapped it tightly around her. "There. That should keep you warm."
"But what about you, Uncle Usopp. Now you're gonna get cold." Belle said.
"You're still young Belle. The rain'll be harder on you than me. It's best you stay as dry as you can. I'll be alright." But as they were about to keep walking, a loud snarl sounded behind them.
"What was that?" Belle whispered. Usopp took a deep breath before slowly turning round to see a pack of large jaguars, all snarling and hissing.
"Belle…get behind me." Usopp said in a deep tone. The pipsqueak nodded before slowly moving behind him, clinging tightly to his trouser leg. Usopp then slowly reached for his Black Kabuto and pulled out a handful of pop greens.
"You want a piece of me, kitty cats?" he said before pulling his goggles over his eyes, and grinning. "Take a bite."
GRRAAAAARR~! The pack of jaguars sprang at the sniper, who readied his slingshot. "Green star- Devil!" Twang! CHOMP! The large Venus fly trap burst form the ground before grabbing two of the jaguars and swallowing them. The other six big cats dashed towards the sniper, while Belle stayed behind him, refusing to let go.
"Humandrake! Skull Bombgrass! Bamboo Javelin! Impact Wolf!" SNAP! BOOM! TWANG! THUNK! SPLAT! The powerful plants sprang up left and right, taking out more and more of the jaguars until all of them were defeated. "Huh, too easy." Usopp grinned.
"You're amazing, Uncle Usopp!" Belle cheered, who was only a couple of feet away from him, but at that moment, one more Jaguar had crawled up the hillside and was about to pounce on the child. GRRAAAAARR~! Usopp immediately wheeled round to see the large feline leap towards Belle who'd become frozen with fear.
"BELLE!" Usopp cried as he threw himself in between them and held Belle tightly. SLASH! In a spray of blood, the jaguar's claws slashed across Usopp's back as he protected his niece.
"AAAAAUUUURRRRGHH~!" he screamed in agony as he fell forward onto the ground.
"UNCLE USOOOOOOOPP~!"Belle wailed, as tears streamed down her face at the sight of her loving uncle lying injured on the muddy ground and the jaguar slowly approaching to finish him off. But before it could deliver the final blow…BONK! A smallish rock suddenly hit the jaguar hard in the face. It shook its head before looking up to see Belle standing a few feet away from it, a mixture of anger and terror on her face.
"You…you leave my Uncle Usopp alone YOU DIRTY ALLEY CAT!" she screamed. The jaguar licked its chops before it began to prowl towards her.
"Belle...r…run…" Usopp croaked, as he coughed.
"I'm…I'm not leaving you Uncle Usopp! You're the one who taught me what it means to be brave. I'm not running away from this pussycat!" Belle shouted but as the jaguar was about to pounce on her…
"BULLET!" POW! A fist suddenly connected with the Jaguar's face sending it shooting across the clearing and hitting the hillside with a CRASH!"
"DADDY~!" Belle cried at the arrival of her father, who was sitting on Blizzard's back. He then leapt down before pulling his daughter into a tight embrace.
"Oh Belle, I was worried sick! Are you alright, princess?" he said as he tenderly kissed her cheek.
"I'm fine Dad. But…Uncle Usopp. He…he saved me." Belle wept as Luffy saw his friend lying on the ground, unconscious.
"USOPP!" Luffy shouted as he ran to his side and turned him over. "He's alive. We need to get back to the ship." He then pulled out a baby transponder snail. "Nami! Nami do read me?! I've found them and Usopp's hurt really bad. Get back to the ship with Chopper! I'll meet you there."
"Oh thank god, you found them! I'll see you back at the ship Luffy." Nami said before the snail fell asleep.
"Belle get on." Luffy said as he hoisted Usopp onto Blizzard before climbing on himself, followed by Belle who curled up in his lap. "Let's ride Blizzard!"

After arriving back at the ship, Chopper took Usopp to the medical bay to treat his wounds, while Nami took Belle to get her cleaned up from all the mud that had got on her, as well as warm her up from being out in the rain for so long.
"You had me so worried, young lady." Nami said as she rinsed Belle's long black hair.
"I'm sorry Mummy. I just hope Uncle Usopp's okay. He saved me from those mean jaguars."
"JAGUARS?!" Nami repeated in shock.
"You didn't know?" Belle asked, before Nami hugged her tightly.
"Remind me to thank Usopp when he wakes up." She sniffed; a few tears falling from her eyes.
"Mummy, don't cry."
"I'm just so glad you're safe." Nami said as she wrapped Belle up in her dressing gown and carried her out of the bathroom and back to the aquariums bar, where the rest of the crew was waiting.
"BELLE YOU'RE OKAY!" Hanako cried as he hugged his little sister.
"I missed you big brother." Belle said as she returned his hug.
"We all missed you Belle, and we're so relieved you're alright." Robin said as she hugged her niece as well.
"It's Uncle Usopp you should thank. I would've got eaten up by those jaguars if he wasn't there. But I didn't run away, cause he taught me how to be brave. I'll never run if my family needs me."
"Of course you won't. You're a Straw Hat, Belle and the Straw Hats always look out for each other."
"You got that right, Captain." Everyone turned around to see Usopp limping into the bar with Chopper at his side. His entire stomach and back were bandaged up.
"Uncle Usopp~!" Belle cried joyfully as she tackled him with a hug, knocking him to the ground. He winced slightly from the pain, but ignored it as he returned Belle's embrace.
"Are you okay, Belle?"
"Never mind me. You're the one who got hurt." Belle said as she hugged him tighter. Usopp smiled for a moment before frowning as he stood up.
"Usopp? What's wrong?" Zoro asked.
"Luffy. Nami. I'm…so, SO sorry." Usopp said.
"What are you talking about?" Sanji asked.
"If I hadn't' been out there so long, I wouldn't have got Belle caught in the rain and stuck inside that mountain for so long. Plus we got attacked by those Jaguars and I still couldn't protect her. If Luffy hadn't shown up, she'd be dead by now. It's all my fault. I don't deserve to be her Uncle." He said.
"Uncle Usopp…" Belle said sadly, her eyes starting to water.
"Usopp, how stupid can you get?" Nami said, gaining his attention. "You protected her to the very end. You even literally gave her the shirt on your back just to keep her warm. You have to be the greatest Uncle she could ever have. No offense guys." She then added to Zoro, Sanji, Chopper, Franky and Brook.
"None taken." They all said.
"But I-"
"No buts. If Belle had been on her own, she wouldn't have survived. She told me how scared she was when you both got swallowed by that mountain, but she also told me how you made her feel better and taught her about never giving up and being brave. That's one of the biggest responsibilities of being with a child. Always giving them hope, and you gave her more than she could ever need."
"But I told her to run when the Jaguar struck me. But she wouldn't leave. She even threw a rock at it. I know I told her to be brave, but I didn't want her to go looking for trouble."
"But she was already in trouble. All she was doing was trying to protect you, because she loves you so much. We all do. If she ran away, it would have caught her easily or she would have gotten lost. Belle may be strong, but she's still young. Staying where she was and not abandoning you was the braver decision." Luffy said. Usopp turned his gaze to his feet, before Nami embraced him.
"You're the bravest man in the Grand Line, Usopp. And you're definitely the best Uncle for our daughter, and we wouldn't want it any other way. Right guys?"
"RIGHT!" the Straw Hats said. Usopp smiled warmly as his crew cheered for him. His life really was complete when he first stepped onto the Going Merry, and ever since, his life had only gotten even better.
"Thanks for the adventure Uncle Usopp." Belle said. Usopp turned his gaze to her before opening his arms.
"Thanks kiddo. Now come here and give your Uncle a hug." He grinned. Belle laughed happily before she threw herself into his arms.
"Hey don't forget me, Uncle Usopp!" Hanako shouted before tackling him as well causing him to fall backwards onto the floor again, his Niece and Nephew hugging him tightly. The rest of the crew laughed as Usopp returned their embrace.
"We love you Uncle Usopp!" Belle and Hanako said.
"And I love you both too. I'm so lucky to have the best Niece and Nephew in all of the sea." Usopp smiled as he continued to hug them, and he could never have been further from the truth.
The End
