Chapter 74: Advance City Attack Battle (Part )

"Then, because Maynard got drunk and crazy, he was kicked out by Teacher Zefa..."

Lieutenant General Gumier, who was bald but had unusually thick hair on the back of his head, spoke unhappily.

He held a cup of coffee and milk in his hand. Due to some personal privacy reasons, Lieutenant General Gumil never drank alcohol.

"How can you blame me for this? It was obviously Bastiu's singing that was so bad that he woke up Mr. Zephyr!"

Maynard complained in a very depressed manner, but of course he did not deny that he had to bear part of the blame.

"Humph!"

Bastiu, who was wearing a porous bull horn mask, groaned. Even when attending the banquet, he had no intention of taking off the mask.

"Okay, okay, it's a rare opportunity for us to get together and relax. Let's go to the hot springs together after we finish eating."

Borsalino scratched his head and took the initiative to step forward as a peacemaker.

The reason why he had no plans to develop a slacking faction was, on the one hand, that he did not want to attract too much attention, and on the other hand, that he found it too troublesome to manage relationships.

With just a few key members quarreling all the time, God knows how Sakaski and Kuzan manage to maintain unity among the hawks and doves.

"Ah, now that I think about it, I haven't been to a hot spring in a few years. I've been chasing pirates everywhere..."

Dalmesia stretched. Except for Bastiu, most of the main members of the slacking faction were the type who would punch in and go to work and obey orders.

Therefore, he was assigned more tasks, but this was not a bad thing. After all, there were only a few people like Borsalino who were so lazy that they even wanted to slack off at work. Only by completing more tasks could he gain more merits.

"Didn't they say Mr. Garp was coming? I wanted to ask him for an autograph... for my subordinates!"

Maynard was the youngest of the headquarters lieutenant generals present, and was relatively better at getting along with his subordinates.

"Maybe you're not in a good mood, let's drink!"

Borsalino naturally knew why Garp was in a bad mood. This naval hero really treated Ace as his grandson.

I just wonder if Roger would get mad if he found out that Garp took advantage of him if he were still alive.

"Hiccup... The navy's food is so delicious..."

Geertz held a 'super-large' skewer of kebab in his hand, put it in his mouth, took a bite and pulled it, and the result of a chef's hard work for more than half an hour disappeared on the spot.

"Of course. If you want to eat again in the future, join the navy! Come on, boss! Cheers!"

Vivian held up the 'wine glass' specially provided for giants and placed it in front of Borsalino with a thud.

Borsalino couldn't help but roll his eyes as he looked at the wine glass that could almost be used as a bathtub for him, and that could also accommodate Gion and Hancock.

He was not a glutton like Vice Admiral Garp who could compete with the Titans in terms of food intake. However, before he could open his mouth, Marshal Sengoku's adjutant suddenly rushed in.

"General Kizaru, Impel Down was attacked by the Revolutionary Army. Director Magellan was seriously injured and unconscious. Preliminary estimates show that more than 60% of the prisoners have escaped from the Deep Sea Prison!"

There was still a look of panic on the adjutant's face. This news was the navy's worst nightmare.

Not only did it mean that all the efforts of the Navy over the past decade were almost in vain, but what was even worse was that so many prisoners who extremely hated the Navy escaped, and no one knew how much horrific chaos they could cause.

The only good news that can be considered consolation is that the navy will definitely not have to worry about budget issues next year. No matter how much the World Government fears the navy, it is unlikely to cut the navy's funds in the face of the pressure of thousands of fugitives from Impel Down.

With such a big incident happening, the slacking faction’s dinner party naturally had to come to an end.

Time goes back to a few hours ago, when the furious Impel Down Director Magellan rushed up to the hunger hell on the third underground floor with poisonous smoke billowing from his body.

Looking at the corpses of the jailers scattered all over the ground, Magellan, who was very serious and old-fashioned, felt unprecedented anger in his heart.

"I want you all to die here! In the poisonous abyss!"

A huge amount of poisonous cloud spread from Magellan. No matter whether it was stone or metal, it was turned into a pile of debris like dry wood and rotten wood in front of the corrosive poisonous cloud.

In just a few breaths, the area near the passage was occupied by Magellan's poisonous cloud, which rushed towards the revolutionary army and the prisoners like a wave.

Faced with the endless poisonous cloud, even Ivankov had no choice but to pull Luffy by the back of his collar and retreat again and again, for fear of accidentally being contaminated by the poisonous gas.

“Why are you running…”

Before Luffy could finish his words, he saw a prisoner who was running slower due to injured legs and feet, being swallowed by the poisonous cloud in great fear.

However, in the blink of an eye, the prisoner's prison uniform and flesh were completely melted away, leaving only a pile of bones that fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Even the bones were corroded by the poisonous cloud.

Luffy couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he saw this scene. He was not afraid of death, but this way of dying by being melted completely was too scary.

"Don't even think about escaping! Poison Giant Soldier, Judgment of Hell!"

Behind Magellan followed a giant bright red skeleton made of venom. This was his most powerful poison. Any substance that came into contact with it would be infected and gradually spread to corrode everything. As long as a person came into contact with the poison, the poison would gradually spread until death.

The giant skeleton made of poisonous poison stretched out its huge hands and grabbed Ivankov and Luffy. Ivankov wanted to escape with Luffy as soon as possible, but found that he could not move.

"Oh no! When... Straw Hat BOY! Run!"

It turned out that Magellan was emitting a colorless and odorless poison gas with a weaker toxicity all over his body. Ivankov had unknowingly inhaled a certain dose of the gas, causing his body to become paralyzed and unable to move.

Although he was fully capable of detoxifying this level of toxicity, it would be too late at this critical moment of life and death.

"Storm Dragon Claw Fist·Dragon Breath!"

At the critical moment when Ivankov and Luffy were about to fall into the hands of the poison giant soldier, Dragon in a cloak arrived in time, bent his fingers into claws, and gathered a storm in his palms to meet the enemy head-on.

The violent storm turned into the shape of a dragon claw and blasted away the poison giant soldier's palm. The explosive wind pressure instantly suppressed the spreading poisonous cloud and gas.

"Hee Ha! We're saved, we're saved! I was scared to death, Dorag!"

Ivankov patted his chest in fear. He himself was not afraid of death, but he could not implicate Dorag's son even if he died.

What's more, the dawn of the revolutionary army is right in front of us. If I die here now, I don't think I will be willing to do it.

"The most vicious criminal in the world, the revolutionary Drago! It turns out that all this was done by the Revolutionary Army!"

The enraged Magellan was spitting out lethal poison gas even when he spoke. Even if he did not take any action, anyone within a five-meter range around him would be killed by the poison gas.

"In order to maintain their corrupt and decadent rule, the World Government is willing to send all innocent people who may threaten their rule to prison. Even if the Revolutionary Army does not stand up, sooner or later someone will change all this!"

Compared to the tall Magellan, Drago's figure is just a "little guy", not to mention the poisonous skeleton giant behind Magellan.

However, in the eyes of everyone around, Drago's figure was taller than Magellan!
"Nonsense! Are those pirates also innocent people?"

Magellan was so angry that he started cursing loudly, and drops of saliva from his mouth fell to the ground, corroding a large area of ​​the stone floor.

"We will naturally make a judgment later on whether they are innocent or not. If you are willing to give way now, I can make the decision to let you and your men leave."

After saying this, Dorag raised his hand, and soon revolutionary soldiers came over with a group of prison guards including Deputy Director Hannibal.

Under the pincer attack from both sides by the Revolutionary Army soldiers and the prisoners who escaped from Impel Down, all the jailers of the Deep Sea Prison became prisoners of the Revolutionary Army.

The furious Magellan was like being poured with a basin of ice water on the spot. He wanted to fight the revolutionary army to the death, but he was concerned about the safety of his subordinates and did not dare to act rashly.

Seeing this, Dragon was slightly relieved. Even though Magellan's strength was still some distance away from that of a top-level powerhouse, it was not far behind. If they really fought, even he would not be absolutely sure.

After all, the closed environment of Impel Down is too suitable for Magellan to perform well. Even if he can win in the end, it will be a lose-lose situation.

"What are you thinking about! Magellan! Aren't you the director of Impel Down? If these damn pirates escape from Impel Down, how many civilians will be harmed? What are you still hesitating about! Magellan!"

Hannibal, the most seriously injured deputy director, suddenly raised his head. Even though his face was bruised and swollen and he couldn't even open his eyes, he still shouted with all his might.

"not good!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Belo Beti cut Hannibal's neck with a palm knife as he knelt on the ground, knocking him unconscious on the spot.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Under Hannibal's instigation, Magellan's eyes turned red and his body was filled with bright red poison. The poisonous giant soldiers, whose bodies had become even larger, attacked fiercely and rushed towards the direction where the most escaped prisoners were.

The battle breaks out again!

"Poisonous Hell!"

Magellan, who had been trying his best to limit the toxins in his body, completely threw off the shackles, and endless poisonous clouds spread in all directions like a landslide or tsunami.

This kind of large-scale attack is unlikely to pose a threat to a strong enemy like Dorag, but the number of people in the city who can ignore this move will definitely not exceed double digits.

"Everyone retreat! Storm Dragon Claw Fist - Tornado!"

Dorag crossed his arms in front of him, and suddenly swung out a tornado that expanded rapidly, instantly sucking in a large amount of poisonous cloud.

Seeing this, Magellan just grinned grimly and continuously released massive amounts of poison. The tornado that inhaled too much poison cloud quickly turned bright red, and then dark red like solidified blood.

When Dorag saw this, his face changed. Although the tornado had confined the poison, the poisonous cloud that was sucked into it did not really disappear.

If they were in an open air, he could still find a way to use a storm to blow away the poison, but in a closed environment like the city, blowing the poison away would literally be helping Magellan kill people.

"Mr. Dorag! Look over here!"

The Western Army commander, Mori, stabbed his big fork into the ground and ran quickly, pushing the ground like flowing water.

The originally flat ground quickly turned into a wavy shape, and then Ivankov's deputy's hands turned into big scissors, and he cut the ground with a sizzling sound, and it seemed to have turned into a thick carpet in the air.

"Hee-ha! New Shemale Boxing Technique 44: Dream Strike Processing Fist!"

Ivankov jumped high and slashed at the cut ground with his hands at super high speed. He adjusted it to the right angle and dropped it to the ground, turning it into a huge open pocket.

"Storm Dragon Claw Fist·Dragon King Breath!"

Dorag's coordination was perfect, and the storm, along with the tornado and poisonous cloud, rushed into the pocket together.

"Amazing!"

Luffy's eyes lit up. This kind of tacit understanding that didn't even require eye contact, as long as someone took the initiative, everyone knew what to do was simply amazing!
Next time he will also try it with his friends to see how well Zoro, Sanji and the others understand him.

"Mr. Dorag! There are marines breaking into the basement!"

At this moment, Kerla came hurriedly to report the news that the revolutionary army had limited manpower and there were not enough people left on the first and second underground floors. If their retreat was blocked by the navy, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Luffy! Follow me!"

Sabo shouted at Luffy that Luffy's strength was not enough to help Mr. Dragon here, and he did not have the tacit understanding that the Revolutionary Army cadres had with Dragon who had fought side by side for many years. If he stayed, he would only be a drag.

"Oh!"

At this time, Luffy wanted to save Ace more, but after hearing Sabo's words, he subconsciously followed him.

On the basement floor, when Vice Admiral Stoloberi and his marines rushed in, the scene he saw made him furious.

Although most of the prisoners were still imprisoned, all the jailers were imprisoned in the vacant prisons, and only the revolutionary soldiers were responsible for guarding them.

Only after completely controlling Impel Down Town will the Revolutionary Army select the less vicious criminals.

"Destroy them!"

Lieutenant General Stoloberi gave the order without hesitation, and regardless of the fact that his wounds had not yet fully healed, he drew out his two swords and prepared to go up and chop the people himself.

"Rubber gun!"

But before Stoloberi could do anything, a super long fist flew over from a distance.

Stoloberi was caught off guard and could only raise his two swords to block, but he was actually knocked back several steps.

"So it's Lieutenant General Stoloberi. Kerla has mentioned you to me many times!"

Sabo was slightly relieved to see Stoloberi. He was still a little worried about the arrival of a general. No matter which one it was, it would be a huge trouble.

"You are... Sabo, the chief of staff of the Revolutionary Army with a bounty of 6 million berries, and the second most dangerous person after the revolutionary Drago!"

Stoloberi's face turned very ugly. The situation was so bad that it couldn't be worse.

The Revolutionary Army attacked the Deep Sea Prison, and judging by the fact that Sabo appeared before him, that Dragon might be here.

"Six hundred million?! Sabo! You are so awesome!"

Luffy couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, his bounty was only 300 million berries, and Sabo's bounty was more than twice as much!
Unbeknownst to Luffy, his bounty has skyrocketed to 500 million berries since the attack on the Celestial Dragons in the Sabaody Archipelago.

In addition, the Celestial Dragons, who learned that Luffy was not dead, offered a sky-high bounty for Straw Hat Boy Luffy in the black market of the underground world.

Considering the power gap between Luffy and Sabo, Luffy's bounty is simply ridiculously high.

"Ahahaha, it's only 600 million berries, no big deal. Well, let's get rid of this guy as soon as possible!"

Sabo adjusted his hat with a little pride. Although there was nothing to be proud of, it felt a little different since the person praising him was Luffy.

"Lieutenant General Stoloberg..."

The adjutant couldn't help swallowing his saliva. The bounties of his two opponents were 300 million berries each and 600 million berries respectively. To be honest, he felt that he couldn't beat either of them, the lieutenant general.

What's even more terrifying is that the revolutionary Drago, who is known as the 'most vicious criminal in the world', may appear at any time.

For a moment, the adjutant wanted to persuade Lieutenant General Stoloberi to retreat first and wait for reinforcements from the headquarters to arrive.

"Are you the only lieutenant general in our headquarters? What a pity that you are late!"

Sabo said with a smile while turning the water pipe in his hand. He really didn't take a mere lieutenant general of the headquarters seriously. "Humph! Justice may be late, but it will never be absent!"

Stoloberi remembered a remark Borsalino had made before and thought it particularly relevant, so he said it aloud.

But at that time, Stoloberi didn't hear the second sentence that Borsalino said in his heart: Justice delayed is no justice at all!

"Get rid of him as soon as possible! Luffy!"

Sabo said that he didn't take Stoloberg seriously, but to be on the safe side he didn't want any variables to occur.

However, before he and Luffy could make a move, the ground beneath their feet began to shake violently.

"This is... they haven't completely taken control of the Deep Sea Prison yet! The guards of Impel Down are still resisting! Eliminate these criminals!"

Stoloberi was overjoyed and waved his two swords and shouted loudly to the marines.

What he feared most was that the guards of Impel Down had been wiped out, leaving him and the marines on a warship completely powerless to stop the revolutionary army and the prisoners who had escaped from Impel Down.

But now the movement underfoot proves that the guards of Push City have not given up resistance. Perhaps if they hold on here for a while, they can cooperate with the guards of Push City to attack from inside and outside and completely destroy the revolutionary army.

"Destroy them!"

"For justice!"

"Fire!"

……

The Marines, led by Stoloberry, charged towards Sabo and Luffy.

"Dragon's Breath!"

Sabo chuckled, and his fists were quickly wrapped with dark armament haki, lightly touching the ground beneath his feet.

Although the possibility was not high, in order to avoid directly penetrating the ground beneath his feet, Sabo deliberately reduced his strength.

Then he exerted force suddenly, and the ground collapsed. The violent shock caused the marines to fall to the ground. The smoke and shock wave from the explosion spread in all directions.

Only Stoloberry jumped up in time to avoid the impact. Knowing Sabo well enough, he set his main target on Luffy.

It’s not just because Luffy’s bounty is low and his strength is relatively weak, but more importantly, Luffy is a heinous criminal who attacked the Celestial Dragons.

Stoloberry himself is not very fond of the Celestial Dragons, but protecting the Celestial Dragons is the duty given to the navy by the World Government, and as a navy he can only obey.

"Double swords, beheading!"

Two sharp long swords crossed in front of Stolobelli and slashed down at Luffy's neck at a rapid speed.

"Rubber volcano!"

Luffy leaned back to avoid the slash, and at the same time, he kicked upward with one foot, knocking away Stolobelli's double swords.

"I say... don't attack someone else's brother so casually! Dragon Claw!"

Before Stoloberi could fight back, Sabo appeared behind him, and he turned his fingers into claws and grabbed Stoloberi's long head.

As Stoloberi screamed, Sabo threw him out with all his strength. He broke the prison bars and fell to the ground, completely losing consciousness.

Compared to Sabo, who is qualified to stand on the stage of the truly strong, even a veteran lieutenant general like Stoloberg is still not good enough.

The ground was still shaking, but facing the luxurious lineup of Dragon and the top brass of the Revolutionary Army, even Magellan, who was in a rampage, was no match.

The sixth underground floor of the Deep Sea Prison is an infinite hell. The continuous shaking finally attracted the attention of the serious criminals imprisoned here.

"Huh, what the hell is Magellan doing?"

The head guard Yuzhi Xilu who was imprisoned in the prison walked to the cell door and tried to see if there was anyone at the other end of the passage.

Although theoretically he should be in the camp guarding the Impel Down Castle, because of the indiscriminate killing of prisoners, Shiryu was imprisoned by Magellan in the Infinite Hell on the sixth floor underground to serve his sentence.

"Hmmmm, is someone trying to break into the prison?"

In another cage not far from Xiliu Prison, a long-nosed woman wearing heavy seastone shackles and handcuffs laughed shrilly.

This guy is the Crescent Hunter Katrin Diome, known as the 'most evil female prisoner in history', and a user of a very rare Animal-type Mythical Beast Devil Fruit ability.

"Hey! Shiryu! Tell me what happened. Is this damn prison going to collapse?"

"If it's going to collapse, let us out! Isn't Magellan supposed to follow the rules?"

"Hahaha! If someone really comes to jailbreak, I'll let him be the captain!"

……

The prisoners began to get restless, but the defenses of Infinite Hell were extremely strict. All the prisoners, regardless of whether they had special abilities or not, were wearing heavy and very sturdy seastone handcuffs and shackles.

Even if he was once one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he is just an ordinary prisoner here.

"Tsk! How boring!"

In a cell in the corner, Crocodile, who was not only wearing seastone handcuffs but also tied up with chains all over his body, snorted.

As the user of the rarest nature-type Devil Fruit ability, Impel Down's restrictions on him are also the most stringent.

After all, the natural type has a very strong ability to survive. Once it regains its freedom, even Magellan will find it difficult to capture Crocodile again.

'boom! '

The heavy door of the sixth underground floor was kicked open, and Luffy appeared at the door.

"Ace! I'm here to save you!"

Luffy shouted excitedly, he couldn't wait to let Ace know that Sabo was still alive.

"This sound..."

Crocodile suddenly opened his eyes, somewhat unable to believe his ears.

"Ace!!!"

Luffy ran past one prison after another, completely ignoring the criminals who were desperately calling for help or even shouting, until he passed by Crocodile's cell. He stopped, took a few steps back and put his head through the bars.

"Humph, I didn't expect to see you here, Straw Hat Boy..."

Crocodile sneered, it was a pity that he didn’t have a cigar now, otherwise he would have said this with more momentum while holding a cigar in his mouth.

"Hey, you're not that...that who?"

Luffy's expression became very solemn. He thought hard for a long time. Finally, he scratched his head and couldn't help asking.

"Asshole! I'm Crocodile!"

Crocodile, who was about to make a few sarcastic remarks, suddenly exploded. The damn Straw Hat Boy destroyed the plan he had planned for many years and ruined his dream. Now he was pretending not to know him, obviously trying to provoke him on purpose.

If that was the case, then Crocodile had to admit that the Straw Hat Boy had successfully irritated him.

"Oh! That's right! You're that crocodile bastard! Hey? Why are you here?"

Luffy clapped his hands and finally remembered where he had seen Crocodile before.

But if he remembered correctly, wasn't this crocodile bastard in cahoots with the navy? I think it was the Seventh Sea or something?

"..."

Crocodile was so angry that he was shaking all over!
Why is he here, Straw Hat Boy, don't you have any idea?
Crocodile, who originally wanted to chat with Luffy, just shut his mouth, but at this moment, a nightmare-like voice came into his ears.

"Straw Hat BOY... Eh? Isn't this Crocodile BOY? Let me see where the key to this cell is..."

Ivankov ran to Luffy with light steps like a little girl. When he saw Crocodile imprisoned in the cell, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The reason why the revolutionary army did not choose to release the serious criminals on the sixth underground level first was that they were worried that they would not be able to control this group of lawless evil people.

Therefore, he would rather try his best to defeat Magellan, and then slowly select the prisoners who can be released.

However, Crocodile is obviously an exception. Although he is also a strong man who cannot be controlled by the Revolutionary Army, Ivankov happens to know some "little secrets" and can completely rely on Crocodile's power.

"Get out of here! I don't want to leave here!"

Crocodile gritted his teeth. The bastard Straw Hat actually got together with Ivankov. He was even more hateful than Whitebeard!
"Hehe, can you put on such airs with me? Croc BOY!"

Ivankov grinned evilly, making Crocodile so angry that even his breathing became heavy.

"Little Ivan, do you know the Alligator Bastard?"

Seeing this scene, no matter how thick-skinned Luffy was, he realized that the relationship between Crocodile and Ivankov was very special.

"A long time ago, when this guy was still called a rookie..."

Ivankov nodded triumphantly, put his hands on his hips and spoke.

But before he could finish his words, the furious Crocodile pulled the chain, making it rattle.

"Shut up! What on earth do you want to do!"

Crocodile sat up angrily, glared at Ivankov and shouted.

"Hehe... Straw Hat BOY, let Klock BOY out. This guy can help us."

Ivankov handed the key to Luffy. The prisoners in the surrounding cells were so excited when they saw this scene that they knocked on the cell doors with their handcuffs.

"Hey! Let us out too!"

"Are you pirates? Let me out, and I'll be your little brother!"

"I'll kill you if you don't let me out!"

……

The prisoners banged on the bars, but unfortunately neither Luffy nor Ivankov paid any attention to them.

"What's going on up there? How did you get into the infinite hell?"

Crocodile, who regained his freedom, had a complicated expression on his face, but under Ivankov's threat, he had to cooperate with the Straw Hat Boy.

"We knocked out all the guards who came down the passage."

Luffy spoke very straightforwardly, and the prisoners were stunned when they heard this. They originally thought that Luffy and Ivankov had just found a loophole in the Deep Sea Prison and temporarily escaped and hid in the Infinite Hell.

If he wants to escape next, he will have to face the heavily guarded guards of Impel Down and the monstrous Director Magellan.

Therefore, only those prisoners who really wanted to escape were willing to take the risk with them. But who would have known that the little kid in the straw hat would actually say that they had knocked down all the guards and walked down!
"You're kidding! The little brat in the straw hat! Where's Magellan?"

Xilu growled in disbelief. He knew best how terrifying Magellan was in Impel Down.

It is no exaggeration to say that unless it was the admiral of the navy or the pirate emperor of the New World who personally took action, Shiryu could not imagine that anyone could defeat Magellan in the environment of Impel Down!

"You mean the uncle who spits poison? He's been knocked out."

Luffy said impatiently, holding his hat. He was busy looking for Ace and didn't have the time to chat with these guys.

"Let me out! Please! I'll do anything you ask me to do!"

"Let me go! I'm innocent!"

"Give me the key! I can give you treasure! One billion berries! No! Ten billion berries!"

……

The prisoners went crazy in an instant. The hope of freedom was right in front of them. Unlike ordinary pirates who mostly could not last more than a few years, the longest-serving among them had been imprisoned in the Infinite Hell for decades and was only one step away from going crazy.

"Consider it that I owe you a favor, Straw Hat Boy!"

Crocodile, who regained his freedom, had mixed emotions. His dreams and years of planning were destroyed by Luffy, but he was also released from this infinite hell without any hope by Luffy.

"Oh, do you know where Ace is being held?"

Luffy didn't care about Crocodile's favor at all and was determined to find Ace.

However, the area of ​​the Infinite Hell is too large. The area of ​​each lower level of the tower-shaped Propulsion City is much larger than the previous level. As the sixth underground level, the Infinite Hell can even imprison a behemoth like San Juan the Wolf.

It is not difficult to imagine how troublesome it is to find the prison where Ace is imprisoned in such an infinite hell.

"Ayes the fire fist?"

Crocodile took off his prisoner uniform, put on his original black fur coat, and combed his hair back.

"Do you know where Ace is being held?"

Luffy asked with great anticipation, but just when he was full of expectations, he heard an answer from Crocodile that made him extremely disappointed.
