Luffy x Hancock: Complete Isolation (RM)

Relaxing Bath

Approaching a nearby waterfall, Luffy removed his shirt. It was 7 hours past noon, and the sky was growing darker.

"Come on, Hancock. We're gonna have to wash our clothes as well." He said, pulling off his shorts.

She blushed. Though she was conflicted. "B-but Luffy. I..."

"Oh, your back, right? It's alright, you can just face me. I don't have to see your back"

He's so considerate. "But then I'd have to see you naked. I don't think I ca-" she started

"Then I'll keep my underwear on. Come on." He said, hopping into the waist-high lake, extending her a hand. She removed her clothes and joined him. It's been a while since I've been in water this high. I can feel myself growing weaker. She was slightly reluctant.

"I can't believe you're seeing me naked." She said, covering her face.

"Well you're covering the wrong place," He said bluntly. "and I've already seen you in the bath, so what's the big deal? Also, you have panties on."

"I suppose you're ri-." she started, before collapsing. Luffy caught her and pulled her close. As a devil fruit user, water weakened her. Luffy, on the other hand, had grown somewhat resistant, as part of his training.

"Hancock. You good?"

"Never better 😍😍😍" she cried, realizing where she was. Her supple form pressed gently against his, her curves carefully filling the creases of his muscles and chest. Her gaze lowered, unable to meet his. "Luffy I must apologize."

"What for?"

"I'm afraid I've yet to figure out our bedding. I promise I'll figure something out!"

He smiled. "Don't be so hard on yourself. You've done enough. I have a hut to stay in now. You're the best!" He was holding her up, so her ample chest rested delicately against his. Her eyes were tired. "Let's get you out of the bath."

Realizing she would have to leave him, she tried to protest. "But, Luffy, I-"

He chuckled, stretching his arm into a nearby bush, and pulling out a flower. (This flower looks exactly like a shower puff, or whatever it's called, but made of petals) "Here. Go stand beneath the waterfall and bathe with this, since you can't handle the water. And wash our clothes as well."

She acquiesced. "As a wife. Washing your clothes is just one of my many duties. I won't let you down!"

"... yea"

The crashing waterfall was nothing to her strength. The empress cleaned herself thoroughly with her sponge. Looking closer at it, she smiled. Brilliant. Maintaining her soft, silky skin was a hassle, but this flower did nicely. After cleansing their clothes and her body, she kneeled.

"You good?" Luffy asked.

"Oh- um... Yes, I'm fine." She paused. "Luffy could you... Wash my back?" she clenched her teeth.

"Are you sure you're comfortable with that?" He raised an eyebrow.

She wasn't sure, but felt that growing past her shame would augment their relationship. He had already seen the branding, and she couldn't be ashamed of him seeing her, if she was to be his wife. "I'm positive," she lied. He walked closer to the middle platform, helping her back into the bath. The snake princess held herself up against the wall of the bath, and Luffy gently cleaned her back. She flinched at the initial contact, but he placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder and continued to clean. Once he was done, he placed his hands on her waist. "ˡᵘᶠᶠʸ" she squealed, straightening her posture.

"Hancock just trust me. Rayleigh taught me all about how to deal with sore muscles. It helps with my training."

She decided to obey. All the work she did building the shelter took its toll, and her body was tight. He began relieving every tense fiber in her body. His fingers were surprisingly precise. She moaned as he pressed her muscles subtly but strictly with his thumbs.

"Luffy, I -mmnh... I-mmm"

"Yea?" He said, slowly moving his hands up her back.

"I believe I've solved the problems with our sleeping conditions."

"Yea? What do you think we should do?" he asked, now working diligently on her shoulders.

"That flower you gave me to bathe with. Its-uhh s-zsoft and feels wonnnderful. Filling a few cloth sacks them would-mmmn create delicate beds." she explained, still whimpering as her muscles reacted to his touch.

"I'm good at this, huh? A gentle but firm massage, and a good night's sleep can help sore muscles heal much faster"

"Ver-mmm Very good." She groaned. "We can also make blankets from animal fur tomorrow, as part of our preparation."

"Sounds amazing. Thanks, Hancock."
