A/N: I know absolutely nothing about multi dimensions, other than what is being said in fictional works, so I thought, eh, let me have my own crack at making up something about it, heh.
Leo is 25, reader is 22 - 23.
Warnings: None for nowπ
Leo wasnβt happy when (Y/N) came back empty handed, nor was he happy to be caught watching more of himself on her TV screen. If felt like being caught by your own parents, with your hand down the cookie jar. Embarrassing. Only that it felt even more embarrassing for Leo, especially when it was the exact same version of him, having a hero moment, being given the key to the city alongside his brothers. very embarrassing. But his embarrassment was far overshadowed by the sadness of (Y/N)βs news, slumping back into the couch with his face in his hands. She had nothing. He was stuck hereβ¦
βThere must be something we can doβ, (Y/N) said, walking in circles in the living room, tapping her chin in thought. At this pace, it was just a matter of time before she would start creating indents in her wooden floor.
βLike what?β, Leo said, looking up from his hands with an exhausted expression. βThat was our last optionβ.
βWell, at least the last option that we know ofβ, she said, trying to give him an optimistic smile. Trying was the keyword.
Leo sighed, rubbing his face again. Just as he had hoped this woman was becoming less unbearable, she turned out to be just as annoying as before. This world was about to drive him mad.
βI donβt know how you expect to learn of a different way to do it. Or at least one that actually worksβ, Leo said, feeling himself getting drained from all energy. βWe might as well give up. Thereβs no way this is going to workβ.
(Y/N) stopped dead in her tracks, staring directly at Leo, as if his words had just personally insulted her. βGive up?! We canβt give up! Itβs not like you to give up! You always figure something out! You always do! Thatβs what the ninja turtle Leonardo do! The leader in blue! Does whatever it takes to get his ninjas through!β
βWill you quit rimming and quoting cartoon intros?β
βNo Iβll not!β, she said, stepping just in front of Leo, forcing him to look up at her. It honestly took Leo slightly aback. βYou canβt just give up! We canβt just give up! You have only been here for two days! Shell, who knows, maybe the others are trying to find a way to get you back! Maybe all you have to do is wait before Donnie and April figure something out! Maybe they are working in a machine or something as weβre speaking, and in a moment Vern will trip over some wires, which somehow turns out to be exactly what is needed for the machine to work!β
βIβm afraid youβre putting too much faith in Vernβs abilitiesβ, Leo said.
βThat doesnβt matterβ, (Y/N) said, taking a seat next to Leo on the couch, once again taking a moment to take in his huge size next to her. Though he was slumping over, he was still so much larger than her. Her head only ever so slightly reaching up over his shoulder. Yet he looked soβ¦ sad, maybe even broken. He was truly stumped on this. He had no idea what to do. For the first time ever, was Leonardo from the Bayverse universe ready to give up. And it scared (Y/N). The Leo she had known all her childhood would never give up. So she couldnβt let him do it now.
βLeo, I mean it. You canβt give up. In all the time Iβve known you, youβve never given up. Youβve always kept going till you found a way, even if it took some time and seemed a little off. You always find a wayβ.
βYou met me two days agoβ, Leo said dismissively, his gaze seemingly locked on his fingertips as they pressed against each other.
βNo, Leo. Itβs you that met me two days ago. Iβve known you pretty much all of my life, remember?β, (Y/N) said, nodding towards all the DVDs still laying out in front of them. βYou have been there everyday as I grew up. There was a time where you really helped me, Leoβ. Leo looked at her in slight confusion, his brow muscles frowning, as if he in some way asked her to explain what she meant, and so she did, playing nervously with her thumbs as she did so. βThere was a time, back in kindergarten, where I was really scared. The other kids were starting to sayβ¦ some not so nice things to me. They poked fun at the way I was dressed, and the fact that I in some ways was a little bit different than them. But then, one day, I remember I saw you and your brothers on televisionβ, she said, nodding towards the 2003 DVDs. βIt was not the first time I saw you, and it was certainly not the last time. You were fighting Shredder, and you were brave. Nothing held you back, just like I wished nothing would hold me backβ. (Y/N) smiled at her thumb, when the small flashes of disjointed memories came through her mind. βSo I brought an action figure of you with me to kindergarten, so that I could feel braver. And it worked. I felt braveβ.
(Y/N) did not expect Leo to smile at this, but to her surprise, he genuinely did. He even chuckled at the thought of her, watling around kindergarten, clutching an action figure of him to her chest. It was almost absurd to think of. But with everything around him taken into account, then maybe it wasnβtβ¦
Leo sat for a moment, thinking through what she had just told him. He knew she was trying to comfort him, letting him know that it would all be okay in the end. And though he still felt conflicted, and at that moment couldnβt see how anything was going to work out, his best option was to believe her, and hope she was right. There was simply no other thing to do.
βWellβ, Leo said, finally turning back towards (Y/N). βSince we can only wait and see now, do you have anything else planned for today?β
(Y/N) sat for a moment, before a sudden smile flashed onto her face. βNo, but I have an ideaβ.
βWhat?β
βWanna go to the zoo?β
βWhatβ.
β
βThis better be importantβ, Agent Bishop said as he marched into the lab, having rushed back at the sound of Dr. Liljaβs message, his son standing in the doorway into the lab, clutching his Ninja Turtles pillow tight, playing with its blue bandana nervously. He had never liked the way his father walked towards his scientists, and today didnβt make him feel any betterβ¦
βI promise you, sir, I think you will find this information very importantβ, Dr. Lilja said, directing Agent Bishop towards his monitor, pointing out the numbers for him. βI looked through the data just before I called for youβ.
βAnd what did you find?β, Bishop asked, his patients already growing thin. He didnβt look at numbers for a reason. That was why he hired people to do it for him.
βI found a momentarily thinning in the air and atmosphere, indicating a dimensional breakthroughβ, Lilja said, showing Bishop exactly where.
βWhat?!β, Bishop exclaimed, almost pushing Lilja away from the screen, making his son hide behind his pillow for a moment. It was a reflex at this point. Whenever his father raised his voice around one of the scientists, the boy now knew better than to look. He learned very quickly after the last time he saw Stockmanβ¦
βHow is that possible?β, Bishop asked, something brewing within his voice. βI thought you said thinning the air and atmosphere naturally was next to impossibleβ.
βItβs because it didnβt happen naturallyβ, Dr. Lilja said. βIt was most likely man madeβ.
βWhat?!β, Agent Bishop exclaimed, his face getting red, his mind already running to several different scenarios in which Lilja had backstabbed him, sabotaged his machine and sent the blue paper to one of his enemies. βHow? How?! You little scum! Have gone behind my back!β
βNo! No!β, Dr. Lilja yelled, holding up his hands as a form of protection from Bishop, as he came for him. βIt was the machine! The explosion! It worked! Not as intended, but it worked! Whatever your son did, it worked!β
Agent Bishop halted his attack on Dr. Lilja, staring blankly at him for a moment. βWhat did you say?β
βThe explosion. I thought it broke the machine, but as it turns out, it might actually have been a sign that it worked. And it is very likely that your son accidentally turned it onβ, Dr. Lilja said, still hiding behind his hands.
Bishop looked from the cowering scientist to his son, who stood nervously and fiddled with the blue straps on the pillows bandana. Maybe he should buy him another one soon. They seemed to calm him down and keep him out of trouble. At least it seemed so.
βThe machine worked?β, Bishop asked, his voice hiding something that Lilja couldnβt put his finger on. βThe machine created a portal to another dimension?β
βIt seems so, yesβ, Dr. Lilja said. βThatβs why there was a momentary thinning of the air and atmosphere. Lessen the density of the universe, and it will be easier to force a short connection with anotherβ.
βHow long was the portal open?β, Bishop asked, a sudden stern urgency in his voice. One that neither Dr. Lilja or the boy was used to.
βNot longβ, Lilja said, taking a quick look at the numbers on his screen. βNothing more than four secondsβ.
Bishopβs expression tightened. βHas anything been able to get through it?β
Dr. Jiljaβs face paled at Agent Bishopβs words, at the realization. He had no idea. He had no idea of if anything had gotten through, nor did he know where the portal had led to, let alone he had no idea where in this world the portal may had opened. And with that realization, Lilja turned back towards his computer, tapping away on the keys in a haze, trying to find answers. Numbers rolled onto his screen, one after another, his eyes zigzagging across them, gaining as much information as possible. Agent Bishop leaned in, reading along as Dr. Liljaβs findings came up. And then it came up, leaving Lilja in a semi frozen state, with Agent Bishop waiting for him to explain what he was reading.
βThereβs readings of unfamiliar matter, ever since the portal openingβ, Dr. Lilja mumbled, staring in shock at the screen. How had he not noticed?
Agent Bishop looked at Dr. Lilja for a moment, taking in the words he had just muttered. It was by the look in Agent Bishopβs eyes, he realized what this all meant.
βMy son turned on the machineβ, Agent Bishop said, as if he thought out loud. βA portal was created, and something came through that portalβ. Lilja felt himself sweat at the sound of Bishopβs words, fearing what would come next. βYet it didnβt happen at our base. Where did it happen?β
Once again, Dr. Lilja found himself in shock and disbelief at Agent Bishopβs words. How could he not have thought of these things before now?
βI- I have no ideaβ, Dr. Lilja stammered, shaking slightly, knowing Agent Bishop wouldnβt like those words.
βThen figure it outβ, Agent Bishop said sternly, a slight sneer in his voice. βOr else you wouldnβt be the only one in trouble soonβ.
Bishop stood up straight from Liljaβs screen, before making his way back towards his stunned son, who was still processing the conversation that had just taken place. He had opened a portal into another world, unleashing something unknown into this world. The revelation made the boy's stomach turn in an uncomfortable way. And as his father put a soft hand on his head, before guiding him away from the lab. The boy hugged his Leonardo pillow tighter against him, not daring to look up at his father as he spoke. He hoped that Dr. Lilja would figure something out. Never would he want something bad to happen to his best friend, just because he did something stupid.

Summary: As Luffy's big sister, you've viewed it to be your job to see him become King of the Pirates in place of your absent parents, even as you try to find where it is you belong in the world. You never really expected to draw the attention of Trafalgar Law in the process.
Pairing: Trafalgar Law x Fem!reader
Warnings: Discussion of feelings of abandonment, age gap relationship (four years), brief secret relationship, mentions and heavy refences to sex, mentions of alcohol, typical One Piece stuff. Other warnings to be added if needed.
Note: This chapter has heavy references to sex, but nothing explicit. I'm an old maid, I don't have that experience yet. :') Also its 9k words, I'm so sorry, but I hope it sustains you all until chapter 5 is done lol.
βYou know,β Law canβt help the slight smile that makes itβs way onto his face when you look at him mid-bite but he does think itβs cute, βI thought you had feelings for Penguin for a while.β
You laugh after you swallow the bite of food you have, shaking your head but still smiling. The two of you decide to stay on the ship for the night, youβll go into town tomorrow for a lunch date, but for tonight, youβll just share some leftovers in the kitchen and sit close together. Every now and then you both place a kiss on the otherβs cheek, it makes you giggle when Law does it, his goatee scratching your face a little, but you like it.
You like him, he already means so much to you, and you can already tell he feels the same way with you.
βNo, no, definitely not. I think of him more like a big brother, really.β
βIβm sure heβll be heartbroken to hear that.β
βOh yeah,β you roll your eyes a little but still smile, βOne of the two people who knew about my feelings for you is going to be so heartbroken that I think of him as a brother.β
βHeβll be devastated, Iβm sure.β
You both laugh a bit, knowing that Penguin would absolutely play along if you brought it up, his acting skills on display if needed. He will be happy for the two of you when he hears, but it's fun to think of different reactions from his crewmates, youβve been thinking about Luffyβs reaction since you realized your feelings for Law. You know heβll be ecstatic, though heβs probably going to ask you to stay with the Straw Hats, at least for now. You donβt mind it, youβre sure Law will be fine with it.
The current plan is to drop you in Sabaody in a few months anyway, youβll be separated for a while. At least you have transponder snails, youβll be able to keep in contact that way easily. Less likely for letters to be intercepted and read in advance by Nami once she finds out.
βHow long do you want to wait to tell your crew?β
Law shrugs, he hasnβt thought that far ahead about all this yet. He knows itβs going to happen, theyβre going to find out somehow, maybe even by accident knowing them.
βA while, Iβm not sure. Iβ¦I havenβt done this beforeβ¦β
ββ¦I havenβt either. Luffy and Ace would chase off any boys I liked, or any that they thought liked meβ¦so Iβve never had a boyfriend.β
βI see,β Nodding, Law leans over and kisses your cheek again, making you giggle while he smiles, βWeβll figure this all out together then.β
βYeahβ¦together.β
Even when the rest of the Heart Pirates come back later that night, you and Law spend your time together, making sure at least that those who havenβt noticed your feelings for each other donβt find things out right away. Youβre not ready for that, but youβve both agreed to let Ikkaku and Penguin know, just for sanityβs sake and not having to sneak around everyone.
The rest of your evening is spent in his office after youβve finished dinner, talking and making plans for the next day together, plans for after you go back to the Straw Hats if this sticks. You hope it does, Law does too, neither of you wants this to fall apart even if itβs just starting. Law takes you back to your room again, as he always does now, itβs become your favorite part of your evenings. If any of his crewmates come around the corner the two of you separate just enough that it doesnβt look weird, still talking until the other person is out of sight and you move back beside each other.
Youβre sure that if he keeps walking you and kisses you before he leaves these times are going to be your favorite from now on. Practically none of the other guys come down towards your and Ikkakuβs room, giving you and Law enough time to enjoy each other before he says he needs to go, heβs got things to do before your (real) date the next day.
βLunch tomorrow right?β
βRight.β
You nod with a grin, before leaning up to kiss Law again, which he gladly accepts and returns.
βSee you in the morning then, Law.β
βYou too,β Law gives you a smile and kiss on the forehead before he turns to leave, βI promise Iβll come get you this time.β
You fight not to laugh but nod, still smiling as you go into your room, all giddy and happy. Ikkaku is asleep so you wonβt bother her, but once you get into bed, youβre trying not to squeal even though you canβt wipe the smile off your face as you fall asleep. Law does the same, even though he has no one else around him at the time. Its another night he sleeps easily, only because of you he believes. He has hopes this will be good, that you wonβt leave him, and he wonβt leave you even when he drops you off in Sabaody. He wants this to last, you both do, and it feels like it will.
Neither of you plans to give up on this easily.
+!+
Your first date off the Polar Tang is a success to both you and Law, he feels relieved after itβs over though, but heβs not opposed to another one of course. The rest of his crew goes about their business on the ship, leaving you and Law to slip off without anyone else noticing, Ikkaku and Penguin promise to keep everyone busy so you wonβt be found out and you can enjoy yourselves.
βYour aversion to bread is so funny though, Iβve never met anyone who doesnβt like it!β
βYeah well,β Law looks away as he takes a drink, cheeks just the slightest bit pink out of embarrassment, βIβve never liked the stuff, ever since I was a kid. Iβm sure thereβs something you donβt like.β
You stop to think, as your food is brought to you, the waitress had been able to convince you to get the sandwich they were offering, as you look at Lawβs lunch once itβs set down.
βRadishes.β
βHm?β
βI donβt like radishes,β Nodding, you shrug a little, βNever have, I donβt like how strong they can taste.β
βGuess Iβll take your radishes and you take my bread.β
You grin and agree, the rest of your lunch spent in comfortable conversation, nothing feels awkward or weird, not after the night before. Law hopes you donβt ever find him passed out in his office again, though knowing the anxiety he can have, it may happen again. He's grateful youβre so understanding and willing to help him navigate this new territory.
But itβs also new for you, so youβre glad to learn alongside him.
Once youβre done with lunch, neither of you are ready to go back to the Polar Tang, so you take off to look at different shops through the town. Of course you find a bookstore, both of you excited to go in, though Law less obvious about it, you drag him inside and start to look at everything available. While you end up looking at the different books on poisons, Law ends up picking out a medical book almost immediately, before being drawn to the novels and comics, where you end up finding him several minutes later, lost in thought.
You just watch him, he looks like heβs thinking through which volumes of Sora Warrior of the Sea he has, to see if he needs any that are on the shelf in front of him. It makes you smile, he's so feared by so many so people simply because heβs pirate captain, but this side of him makes Law so cute to you, he keeps it to himself most of the time, but when you see it, you canβt help it.
He really is a good guy.
Law picks a book up off the shelf to read the back as you come over, pressing yourself again his side to try and rea it yourself.
βFind one you need?β
βMaybeβ¦I donβt think Iβve read this one before.β
You hum and look at the cover yourself, reading the synopsis before Law puts his arm around your shoulders and brings you closer to him. It doesnβt surprise you that much, but it makes you smile. Despite how he looks to some people, you know Law is much nicer than anyone could ever expect, especially when he starts to explain the plot of this volume while you just listen and in turn wrap your free arm around his waist as Law decides he'll get this book too, asking if you found what you need before he goes to purchase his items.
βYeah, I think I found everything I was looking for.β
~~
The two of you walk back to the Polar Tang while chatting lightly, Law trying to explain the full plot of Sora to you, which makes you laugh as you ask questions and he looks almost annoyed like itβs something he just explained but you werenβt listening.
It's not your fault he looks so happy as he goes off about his favorite series, the bright look in his eyes and slight smirk he has, heβs just so handsome when heβs happy.
ββ¦maybe you should just read it.β
βIf you let me borrow your copy I will!β
Law nods, thinking thatβs definitely a better idea than him having to try and explain it. Heβll have to get you the first volume later so you can start it, see something heβs liked ever since he was a child. Maybe youβll enjoy it too and he can have someone to talk about it with again.
As you approach the Polar Tang, you take Lawβs hand in yours, he pulls you a little closer to kiss your head in return. You arenβt ready to go back yet, to have to pretend nothing is going on, but youβre willing to deal with it for now, just for Law. He might be older than you, but you understand he isnβt in the mood to be teased by his crewmates about his first relationship, so you can accept this situation. At the very least, Ikkaku and Penguin know, you think Bepo has his suspicions after you ran to get him when Law had passed out, but none of his other crewmates seem to suspect a thing yet.
βI wish we had more time todayβ¦β
βWe donβt have to go back in immediately,β Law shrugs while you look up at him confused, making him smile softly, βWe could, you know, stay on deck for a whileβ¦if you want, I guess.β
That suggestion causes you to smile back, nodding and dragging Law back to the ship, settling both of you in a good spot so you can talk and watch the sunset, maybe stay long enough to see the stars. He knows being in a submarine is completely different from what you were use to with the Sunny, so Law doesnβt mind staying outside for a while longer with you, heβs more than happy to do so, especially when you lean against his shoulder and continue to hold his hand.
βI think today was a good second-first date.β
βOh is that what weβre going to call it then?β
Nodding, you hum before kissing his cheek, leading Law to press another to your temple.
βWeβll definitely have another date sometime.β
βGood to hear.β
Youβre excited to see where things go with Law now that youβve had this real first date, and when you tell Ikkaku everything later that night, she starts betting you and Law will be married in no time at all, which makes your face heat up at the thought. Sheβs joking of course, even as she says youβll have four kids, but even you start thinking about what that could be like one day, though you never tell anyone else about it. Itβs far too early to be thinking about such a thing, but Ikkakuβs insistence that sheβs correct makes you laugh in the end.
You end up sleeping better than night that you have in a while, and Law does the same, after relaying the date to Penguin who is happy for his captain and proud he took that step with you. All of the Heart Pirates want Law to he happy, and if that means heβs with you, Penguin knows the rest of them will approve when you two decide to tell everyone about your relationship.
This family Law found will be happy for him, just as you know Luffy and the other Straw Hats will be for you.
+!+
βHave you heard of the Will of D?β
βHmm?β
Youβre laying across Lawβs lap in his bed one evening while reading a book, him doing the same, before he asks such a seemingly random question. Heβd been running his fingers through your hair (carefully, nervously, youβre both still getting used to this) and you thought heβd been so focused on his book, but it seems he has something on his mind instead.
You wrack your brain a bit, knowing it sounds familiar but at first, youβre not sure why until it hits you. Nodding, you close your own book and sit up beside him.
βRobin mentioned it onceβ¦she asked if Luffy and I knew anything about it.β
βDo you?β
When you shake your head, Law sighs a bit but nods, pulling you against his side gently to have you lay your head on his shoulder.
βSorry Iβm no help there.β
βNo, donβt be,β Law waves off your apology, kissing the top of your head as you hum, βI was just wondering.β
You both return to your books for a while, you trying to focus but keep thinking about what Law asked. You know that you have no information for him about the Will of D, you only know it's something Robin has brought up; you, Luffy, Garp and Dragon have the D in your names, youβve seen others have it as well, but thatβs the extent of your knowledge. Youβve never really been interested in learning the meaning, even with Robin questioning you and Luffy, Garp never had an answer either if you asked him, not a real one. He just said it was like a middle name, nothing for you to worry yourself about. You were too young to argue with him, or maybe it was just that you respected him too much to do so, but it never set right with you. You wanted to know, why you saw that letter on wanted posters too.
Sometimes you wonder if it would give you more information about who you are.
ββ¦what do you know about it, Law?β
Heβs not sure if you want to know the very little he does, but since itβs brought up to you before, and you both share that letter, though he hasnβt told you yet, it might not be a bad thing. Sharing what he knows might give you something to look at yourself, maybe even the next time you see Garp he could give you real answers. You arenβt a child anymore, you deserve to know anything that could help you find yourself and where you belong in this world.
βEnemies of the gods.β
ββ¦what?β
βThatβs what Cora-san said once,β Law shrugs while you start to think, βI donβt think he knew anymore than that, reallyβ¦β
ββ¦I donβt really like that thought, being an enemy of the gods.β
βDonβt dwell on it, Iβm not sure what he meant by it.β
You end up nodding, turning your attention back to your book but not really reading it anymore. You donβt understand why having a D in your name is so important in this world, what it would mean for you, Luffy, your grandpa, really anyone with it, itβs so strange. If Dragon were around, maybe he would know something. Maybe he does but you canβt get any kind of answer from him since heβs never around. Garp probably still wouldnβt answer you, heβd tell you itβs nothing for you to worry about still, even though youβre all grown up and now want to know since Law brought it up.
The world you live in is a strange place after all.
βI have it too.β
βHuh?β
βA D in my name, I have it too.β
Honestly youβre not completely surprised, but just a little shocked to hear that. You know there are several people with the D in their name, you just didnβt expect Law to be one of them.
βSoββ
βTrafalgar D. Water Law. Thatβs my full name.β
You donβt say anything about it, not for a while. Honestly Law starts to wonder if youβre upset he never told you, when youβd given him your full name the first time you really met. He'd kept his name secret for so long, it only felt natural to do so back then too, it wasnβt that he didnβt trust you.
Well, when you met it was, even after he learned you were Luffyβs sister, he hadnβt planned for you to join his crew for two years, or to develop feelings and a relationship with you. You were a stranger that simply was related to another pirate captain and had a D in their name, why should he have revealed it back then? The two of you werenβt close at all, so heβs hoping you understand that since neither of you really knows much, not telling you his full name at the time was a safety measure. It wasnβt anything personal.
βI wonder if weβll ever find out why we have this letter, and why it seems like no one knows anything.β
To say heβs relieved youβre not upset with him is an understatement, leading Law to sigh a bit before nodding in agreement. He wants to know too now, more than he has before, to understand why this Will of D is so important to the World Government especially, that thereβs so little information on it.
He wants to find out for you too now.
~~
βHave I told you why I wanted to write a book?β
Shaking his head, Law glances up from his notebook to you, sitting across from him with your own book that youβve kept every tiny note and detail about your crewβs adventures in hand, giving him a smile.
βWanna know?β
βIf you want me to.β
You roll your eyes as bit, finishing a line in your book before setting your pen down to rest your chin in your hand.
βMy other brother, Sabo, wanted to write a book about our pirating adventures for kids. I wasnβt really into writing back then, I thought it was boring but I did like reading,β sighing you lean back against your chair as Law stops his own note taking to watch you, βAfter heβ¦after he died, I decided Iβd take up his dream. Itβs not going to be only for kids though, I want everyone to read how Luffy becomes King of the Pirates.β
βHmm, I see.β
ββ¦do you think itβs silly? To take up Saboβs dream like that?β
Law wonders if people have laughed at you for taking your brotherβs dream on yourself. Youβve told him how youβd lost Sabo, thanks to a Celestial Dragon, and how it affected you, Luffy, and Ace as you continued to make your plans to leave and become Pirates. Youβve always kept him in your mind, especially when youβve gone to make your notes and write whatever needed to be done next, Law's even read your writing more recently to help you proof it.
You have a talent for writing and detail, even heβs gotten tucked into your unpublished work and wants to know whatβs next. It's like heβs anxiously waiting for the next Sora novel, except his girlfriend is the author and he wants to see whatβs next for a rival instead. Itβs how he learned more about the way you all helped free Alabasta, your adventure in Skypiea, Luffyβs declaration of war against the World Government at Enies Lobby, the zombies you fought on Thriller Bark, and when you arrived in Sabaody. He wants to see how that moment you two first locked eyes was for you, but he doesnβt expect that in this book. Itβs not important to Luffyβs story, so youβll probably leave it out, he thinks.
He does hope youβll send him copies once youβve gone back to the Straw Hats, he wants to keep reading the story and stay up to date with you.
βItβs not silly at all,β Law smiles when you look at him with relief in your eyes, your own smile making itβs way to your face, βTaking on someoneβs dream like that takes a lot of strength and courage, I think. Iβm sure your brother is happy.β
βI hope soβ¦β
βMakes me wish I had known what Lamiβs dream wasβ¦so I could make it happen for her.β
It makes you feel a little bad to hear that, but you know Law isnβt trying to garner sympathy, like when heβd told you his life story. He didnβt get the time he deserved to have with Lami as her big brother, she didnβt have the chance to grow up and live out her own dreams and desires.
If he knew what they wouldβve been, you know Law would be fighting to make it happen, like you with taking on Saboβs dream.
βI bet she wouldβve wanted you to be happy, Law.β
ββ¦I wouldβve wanted the same for her.β
Twenty more heartsβ¦
Just a little more before Law will feel better about sending you back to your brother and crew, knowing he could extend Warlord protections onto you at least.
Just a bit longer before his plans can really be enacted.
+!+
You make a realization one day a few months later.
It happens while you watch Law work as you try to do the same, but somehow heβs distracting you just by being there. Not in a bad way though, itβs not like how Luffy and Ace would distract you when you were younger. Itβs more of you simply letting your eyes and mind wander towards him, even when you should be working yourself, you just canβt help it.
The last couple months have been more than you ever wouldβve expected. It may be your first relationship, and Lawβs too, but youβve both enjoyed every bit of time youβve spent together. There have been a few close calls with your relationship almost being exposed to the rest of the crew, but no one has said anything to you or Law about it. Youβve done well to keep it secret, only Ikkaku and Penguin know everything.
Youβve felt nothing but safe and happy with Law, before you ever started dating, but now you feel it more and heβs told you how he wants to keep you safe, no matter what happens. You feel the same, it doesnβt matter that Law is older or stronger than you, he deserves to feel safe and loved too.
It's right before your birthday, and the Heart Pirates planned party to celebrate Law becoming a warlord at the same time, that you decide you know exactly what it is youβve been feeling lately. Watching Law, enjoying the quiet moments, learning a little more about each other every day, youβve come to realize you love him.
Everything youβve come to know about Law and his life, how heβs treated you and his crew, the way heβs made space for you in his room and office, allowing you to stay as long as you need, it's brought you even closer to him and caused you to notice how strong your feelings for him have become.
You love Law and you have every intention of telling him that tonight, even after you both slip away from the party his crew threw together. Penguin notices, pointing it out to Ikkaku, and they both work to make sure the rest of the crew doesnβt notice or suspect anything. Theyβve done their best to keep your situation a secret, you two can have all the privacy and time you need before youβre ready to tell anyone else.
Once youβre back to his room, after Law has given you your gift (a new notebook for your writings and your own copy of the first few volumes of Sora), you canβt help but to kiss him almost nonstop, leading Law to pull you into his lap as he kisses you back before you decide something.
βWait, stop.β
When you put your hand on the one he has just under your shirt, Law thinks heβs moved too fast for you, that you arenβt ready for anything more than kissing and dating, thatβs fine if so, but he starts to get anxious that heβs screwed everything up. He didnβt mean to, he wanted to make your birthday special, but only if youβre comfortable. If you arenβt, heβll apologize and make it right however you want. He doesnβt want to ruin what you have right now, taking that next step in your relationship can wait if youβre not ready for anything more.
βSorry, was that too fast? I didnβtββ
βNo, Law, relax,β you giggle a bit seeing how flustered he looks, before continuing, βI justβ¦I need to tell you something first.β
Now heβs more concerned and thinking heβs definitely done something wrong. You seem nervous about whatever it is you have to say, looking like youβre thinking about it. The silence is making Law more anxious as seconds go by, it feels so much longer. He tightens his arms around your waist just a bit to try and coax the words out, which makes you sigh, arms still around his neck, a soft smile on your face.
ββ¦I love you, Law.β
βYouβ¦you what?β
Youβre not worried that he didnβt say it back, or that he looks almost horrified at your confession, you know enough about Law to understand why, so you donβt feel like this was a mistake. You needed him to know, as soon as possible, you just had to get those words out to him, even though heβs looking more scared than youβve ever seen and his hold on you is tighter than itβs ever been, you think.
It doesnβt matter though. You keep smiling at him while you kiss his cheek to try and calm down what you know are racing thoughts.
βI said I love you, Lawβ¦I just wanted you to know.β
He wants you to take it back, but he canβt seem to speak. With everything thatβs happened in his life, youβve said the three words he's been scared to hear come out of your mouth since you started your relationship. Β What heβs dreaded happening ever since he agreed to be your boyfriend.
Not because he didnβt want this relationship, itβs not that he doesnβt want you, itβs that heβs now utterly terrified of what may come next.
The words youβve said, your first ever love confession to Law has him near a panic once he realizes what youβve done. Youβve said you love him, itβs only been a few months, how are you so sure?? Why did you have to say that, why did those words come out of your mouth, donβt you remember whatβs happened to those who have said they love him?!
βLaw.β
No, no, youβre not serious, thatβs it. Maybe youβre tipsy or flat drunk, itβs your birthday and youβve been drinking, that must be it. You donβt know what youβve said and wonβt remember in the morning, he's sure of it. Itβs better you donβt remember, heβll make himself forget this ever happened. Youβre not in love with him already, you didnβt say those three words that haunt him with Corazonβs smile, or his motherβs perfume, his sisterβs hugs, and his fatherβs laughter.
βLaw, hey.β
Itβs not real, none of this is real right now. Heβs going to wake up and this wonβt have happened at all. You canβt die, you canβt follow the footsteps of those who have loved him in the past. He canβt lose you too, he just canβt, not again. It wonβt happen again, he wonβt allow another precious person to be taken from him, not for the third time, please donβt die. Please donβt leave him like the others have.
ββ¦you canβt die tooβ¦β
It breaks your heart to hear him say that, with shallow breaths that tell you heβs not okay and you need to do something, leading to you gently shushing him as his breathing picks up. You start to feel awful and know youβve got to calm Law down before he goes into a full blown panic attack.
βOh, Law, calm down. Breathe, honey,β Law doesnβt even notice heβs nearly hyperventilating until you place your hands on his face, bringing your forehead against his to try and calm him, βIβm not going anywhere, shh. Itβs okay. I wonβt die, Law.β
Oh, he mustβve been saying everything out loud, not in his head. He didnβt notice that either, it all mustβve come out so rushed he couldnβt stop from running his mouth with his fears and worries. He only realizes the tears in his eyes when you wipe them away, placing a kiss on his forehead before bringing his head to your chest, letting him wrap his arms around you as tightly as he can while he listens to your heartbeat. As he slowly starts to calm down, you run your fingers through his hair while he continues to hold you as close as he possibly can, itβs probably going to be a while before he lets you go.
βLawββ
βI,β his voice is strained from fighting not to cry but your shirtβs already damp from his tears even as he tries to choke them down, βI canβt lose you tooβ¦not you, please.β
You shush him again, kissing the top of his head this time before laying your forehead against his hair.
He feels a bit pathetic at the moment, if he were to be honest. Nearly twenty-six and clinging to his twenty-two year old girlfriend like a child does to their mother. If he were anyone else, Law wouldβve pushed you away and tried to look more manly in front of you, but he knows you donβt want that and he doesnβt care to hide his feelings right now. You just wanted him to know, thatβs what you said when you told him those words, it's why you say them again and brush your fingers through his hair once more.
βI wonβt leave you, donβt worry. Even when I go back to Luffy and them, my heart is yours, Law.β
Itβs an impossible thing to promise, that you wonβt die and youβll be safe after you return to the Straw Hats, but itβs enough for Law at the moment to calm him. He nods but continues to hold you close, face buried in your shirt while you stroke his hair and whisper your love and sweet nothings to him. He wonders if he should say it back, even though heβs not sure where his feelings are at this moment, but he still opens his mouth to speak.
βStay with me tonight. Please.β
βOf course, Law. Whatever you need.β
ββ¦I just need you.β
Heβs not there yet, not where he can say the same words to you, but you donβt seem to mind. When you repeat them to him, over and over again, Law starts to believe that this time is different. Maybe this time, he wonβt lose someone who loves him. Maybe heβll be allowed to love you back, to have some happiness in his life for the first time in over a decade.
Maybe this time heβll be able to return those words when heβs ready.
~~
The rest of the Heart Pirates know something must have happened the night before, after you and Law returned to the ship without them, since none of them see him for quite a while that next morning. Those who still donβt know your relationship think you two mustβve had a fight about something, while Ikkaku and Penguin, your confidants on the ship, have the full story from you when you bring both into your room after breakfast. You tell them not to expect to see Law much today, and when you finish explaining, Ikkaku gives you a sympathetic look while Penguin sighs and scratches his head.
βDamn, I never thought Captain would react like thatβ¦β
βCan you blame him?β Ikkaku makes an annoyed face at Penguin before turning back to you, βThe last person to tell him thatβ¦β
βWas Corazon, and he died soon after.β You nod, the story is still fresh from when Law told you everything, so you do understand. You understand why he nearly had a full mental break down last night after you said βI love youβ to him, he hadnβt expected it and in his past experience, those words do not lead to positive outcomes. βI feel so bad about itβ¦β
βOh, no, no, you shouldnβt,β setting a hand on your shoulder, Penguin tries to reassure you as Ikkaku hugs you, βI think it just means Captain cares about you a lot more than he even realized, if his first thought was that he was going to lose you.β
βPenguin is right, Law definitely has strong feelings for you. He was probably just worried. He seems to think all he ever does is lose peopleβ¦β
βHeβs not going to lose me,β you grip the pillow in your lap tight for a moment before releasing it, βI love Law, and Iβm going to prove it to him that he doesnβt just lose people who love him. He's still got all of you, right?β
They both nod as you sigh, moving to get up from your bed when Ikkaku asks where youβre going.
βIβm going to bring Law something to eat, heβs been in his room all morning.β
βHe may not want anythingβ¦normally heβs good to justββ
βNo, Iβm gonna make sure he knows Iβm here for him,β once youβre up with shoes on, you give the two a smile, βLet everyone know Law and I are fine, Iβll take care of him today.β
Penguin goes and lets everyone know itβs a day off, he tells them Law isnβt feeling well and to go do what they want, practically everyone leaving to go back to the island for shopping or relaxation. You, of course, stay aboard, starting to make something for you and Law to share for lunch, anyone still hanging around leaves you alone, knowing youβre taking care of things. Whatever might be wrong, because none of them believe Law is sick, youβll make it okay.
Youβre nearly done making the food when you see an arm come around your shoulders, the other around your waist, Law presses a soft kiss to the back of your head before putting his forehead on your shoulder.
βHow are youββ
βIβm sorry about last night,β heβs quiet as he speaks, you shake your head before setting down the spoon you were using and turning around to take his face in your hands, βI just. I didnβt expect that and it freaked me out because I thought of myβ¦my family and Cora-san, Iβm sorry. I know it doesnβt mean youβre going to die, but Iββ
βShh, itβs okay,β You kiss him before hugging him properly, letting Law continue to hide his face in your shoulder, βI know I surprised you, but I really just wanted you to know that I love you.β
Taking a breath, Law still doesnβt like hearing that from you yet, but he nods, tightening his hold on you. The two of you stay like that for a while, you once again speak sweetly to him, making Law feel better but he still feels like heβd look like a child to anyone else if they saw this. Some people wouldnβt see an adult relationship but maybe think he's leaning too much on you, but you havenβt had any problems with that yet. It doesnβt fully make sense to him, why you havenβt pushed him away and said this is all too much, with the emotional baggage he has, he doesnβt understand it at all.
βIβm scared Iβll lose you too sometimes, you know,β Law pulls away enough to look at you, confused by what you mean at first, βYouβre a Warlord nowβ¦I know it keeps the Navy off you, but other pirates will still come after you. I donβt want to lose another loved one.β
βYouβre not gonna lose me.β
βThen you have to believe you wonβt lose me either.β
He gets that and understands you didnβt tell him you love him because you were trying to scare him or anything like that. You really do just love him, Law knows heβs going to have it accept that even if someone tells him those words, it doesnβt mean theyβre doomed immediately. It doesnβt mean heβll lose them, precedence be damned, heβll be the one to make sure nothing happens to you. He was too young, too small to protect Corazon or his family, but now that he's grown and stronger, he can at least protect you while youβre under his care.
βIβll try.β
βThatβs enough for me,β you give Law a smile that he slightly returns, before leaning up to kiss him briefly, βI love you.β
Although heβs not ready to say it back to you, Law nods before kissing your forehead and hugging you again, quietly thanking you. Its enough, you know itβll take him some time to get to the same point, but thatβs okay.
Youβll just keep loving Law, helping him where you can, to show him that he doesnβt only lose people he loves. Heβs not going to lose you and youβre not going to lose him.
βYou should probably eat something.β
βYeah, probably,β Law watches you as you turn back to finish the lunch you were making, βAlsoβ¦before I freaked out last night, weβ¦are you okay...going further?β
For a moment youβre confused, before you see the light blush on his face and realize what Law means, your own face heating up when you quietly say βohβ as you remember. Things got interrupted after you said you love him, and the two of you had settled to laying in his bed, his arms around you and face in your shirt while you just held Law close and calmed him.
After another minute or so, you just nod.
βYeah Iβ¦Iβm okay with that,β you can tell heβs relieved when Law sighs and nods, making you smile, βBut another night. Right now we should eat!β
Law doesnβt really get how youβre able to change subjects so quickly but he is hungry so heβs not going to complain about it. Not when youβve made one of his favorite meals and taken the time to make sure itβs perfect for both of you. You both enjoy your lunch together, and whenever another one of his crewmates comes by or returns to the ship from their time on the island, they all seem just as relieved to see Law is out of his office and doing well, heβs back to acting as a captain should later that day.
Everything is fine, and they all know youβre to thank for that. Every one of them, that doesnβt know yet, hopes that you and Law will come together one day, and theyβll all support you and their captain through everything.
+!+
When Law wakes with you in his bed after your first time together, heβs still not sure he believes it. He watches you sleep peacefully for several minutes, knowing youβre safe with him, that you chose to spend the night with him for the first time because you love and trust him.Β Honestly he couldnβt even believe the night before was the first for both of you. Heβd figured that, even though youβve never had a boyfriend, youβve probably hooked up with someone before. Itβs common for pirates to do, or he thought maybe Sanji or Zoro had managed a situationship with you. But when you tell him neither had ever even made a move on you, heβs surprised.
βProbably because Iβm the captainβs sister haha. Iβm considered off limits to those boys.β
Heβs not sure if your crewmates would like knowing youβre with him, he hasnβt been since your relationship started, but heβs started not caring. Youβre an adult, you can make your own decisions. You did last night, after Law made sure multiple times you were comfortable with taking your relationship further. He hopes you donβt regret anything when you wake up, but with how much you said you loved him last night, he knows you wonβt. He really does wish he was at the point where he could tell you the same, but you understand, he doesnβt know how but you do.
Law watches you sleep for a few minutes longer, stroking your cheek while you bury your head deeper into his pillow in your sleep.
βMmβ¦love youβ¦Lawβ¦β
Itβs strange how you can say that so easily, even in your sleep, and how it makes him feel so emotional at the same time. How do you do this, make him want to cry at 5:30am just from saying you love him? Itβs enough for Law to leave his bed finally, going to his bathroom to wash his face and calm himself down before he wakes you. Splashing water on his face, Law stops to look at himself once he dries off, he doesnβt know how to handle this. How to handle the love you give him so freely and easily. The last person to do that was Corazon, thatβd been so long now.
βCora-sanβ¦I donβt know how to handle thisβ¦β
Law never really expected to fall so hard for someone, it wasnβt something he ever worried about. Falling in love, getting married, having children, itβs not something Pirates normally do, heβs only ever viewed it as a civilian lifestyle. To be settled in one place where they could raise their family, it sounded good when he was a child but now, itβs such a dangerous thing to think about.
If the right person figures it out, heβs afraid heβll lose you like heβs lost everyone else thatβs told him they love him.
So many new βwhat-ifsβ are taking over his thoughts, thereβs so much to think about now.
What if someone finds out and uses your relationship against him, or against Luffy? What if you get pregnant? Of course you were safe last night, but even Law knows protection is only so effective. Law would protect you of course, but it's another fear that someone could find out and use it against him. He doesnβt think he could handle losing a family again if that were to happen.
What if you decide heβs too much with the baggage he has? Would you leave him and want to forget your relationship even happened?
No, after last night, Law is sure you wonβt do that, at the very least. Youβre in this for the long haul, and so is he, neither of you are getting out of this relationship easily. Youβre both too attached at this point.
Heβs there for a few moments longer, thinking and trying to work things out in his head, before heβs surprised by your arms coming around his middle and your head laying on his back. You place a soft kiss to his tattooed back with a βgood morningβ, which Law returns.
βDid you sleep well?β
βI did. You?β
You nod, smiling up at him when he looks over his shoulder at you and places one of his hands on yours.
βI borrowed your shirt, hope thatβs okay.β
βMore than okay. It looks better on you.β
It makes you giggle while Law smiles, you tell him youβre going to steal it then and he doesnβt fight you on it.
βDo you wanna take a shower with me?β
βIβd love that, Law.β
Your shower is quick, only due to you needing to head off to your room so no one is suspicious of you being gone all night, especially Ikkaku so she doesnβt start asking questions. Youβd rather stay with Law for the next couple hours before everyone else is awake, since you personally believe that most of his crew has figured things out by now, but you do understand his being worried that it might leak to the World Government and someone could target you to get to him once he becomes a Warlord. You try to extend your time with Law by wrapping your arms around his shoulders and kissing his face over and over, enjoying the slight blush he gets from it that only you ever notice.
βAll right, all right,β he doesnβt sound annoyed, more like heβs appreciative of your affection, βYou need to go on back.β
You pout, shaking your head before burying your face in his chest while he sighs and pats your head. βLast night was niceβ¦I donβt want to go yetβ¦β
βIt was nice. Next time, you can stay longerβ¦β
βNext time, hm?β Your grin makes him roll his eyes before responding to you.
βDonβt read too much into it, dork,β Law pinches your cheek a bit, making you whine before he kisses you one more time for that morning, βOf course thereβll be a next time. Youβre my girlfriend, arenβt you?β
βYeah, I sure am,β nodding, leaning up just a bit more, you rub your nose against his briefly, βAnd youβre my boyfriend, my love.β
You leave a moment later, after telling him again that you love him, and Law wishes he couldβve responded in kind to you. You donβt seem to be upset he doesnβt, you never have. Youβd told him that a simple βthank youβ is enough of a response until heβs ready to say it back to you. Youβre willing to wait until heβs ready.
Law hopes he works things out before you have to return to the Straw Hats in a few short months. He doesnβt want to leave you wondering once youβve separated.
Cora-sanβ¦I think I found who Iβm meant to be with for the rest of my lifeβ¦
Despite the worries and he has about losing you, about someone finding out and trying to use it against him, Law is determined not to let anything happen to you, even after you return to Luffy and your crew.
He's not going to let another person who loves him be harmed again. Heβll prove he doesnβt just lose loved ones and he can protect them.
Even if still may take him some time to return your words, Law is going to protect you, even when youβre miles away from him again.
I wonβt let anything happen to you.
+!+
Youβre not surprised when the Heart Pirates throw a going away party the night before youβre set to return to your crew. Theyβve docked in Sabaody, but your intentions are to leave the next morning, you arrived a day early thanks to Lawβs planning, so you have just a bit more time with the people who have become another family to you. Theyβve all celebrated your birthday twice now, and tonight theyβre celebrating you as an honorary Heart Pirate, youβll never be rid of them, they all laugh when Shachi says it with a grin. It makes you laugh too, though you feel sad at the thought of leaving them, youβre anxious and excited to go back to your crew.
You want to see Luffy again, despite the part of you that wants to stay with Law.
Speaking of, you notice after a few more minutes that heβs not been around or said anything, and donβt see him when you stop to try and find your boyfriend. When you ask Hakugan, he says Law had gone back to his office a bit ago, telling him not to worry about anything and to keep the party going for you. It makes you wonder if heβs gotten overwhelmed once again, to the point you sneak off like you do often it seems, to go check on him. You donβt plan to let him stay locked away in his office, not when you have so few hours left before you have to leave, so you knock on the door and say his name, not getting a response at first.
βLaw? Can I come in?β
βGo back to everyone, I just need a few minutes.β
βAre you sure? We canββ
βIβm fine, donβt worry.β
You donβt leave, trying to find something to say, before you nod to yourself.
βOkay, Iβll see you when you come back then.β
Itβs not the party itself that overwhelmed him, Law only got that way as he heard everyone saying such nice things about you, how much theyβll all miss you when you leave and theyβll be waiting to see you again. The strain in Bepoβs voice when he talked about how much heβll miss you being around too, the grins Shachi and Penguin had when they talked about your stories youβd tell them, Clione and Uni bragging about your cooking, Ikkaku nearly in tears because she was going to be the only girl on board again. It was just too much for Law at the moment, especially when Penguin nudged him and told him he needed to say something too. It felt too final to do that, made Law anxious, and he had to leave. He didnβt want to seem like a downer or make anyone else sadder than they already were to have you leaving, so he chose to step away for a bit.
Youβve changed things in the last two years, Law really does believe that. Especially with him, youβve made him realize he's not going at things alone with his crew just along for the ride.
Youβve fallen in love with him and given him something heβs needed for a long time, reassurance more than anything, that you arenβt going to leave him alone.
Even if he doesnβt come back to the party, youβll be okay with it. Youβll join him that night once everyone else has started to wind down and it gets quiet again. Youβll have one more night together before you leave, thatβs more than enough for Law right now.
~~
βYou could stay.β
βNo,β Sighing you set yourself up on one elbow, holding your face in your hand, while you brush your fingers through Lawβs hair with the other, βI really canβt.β
βYes, you can.β
βLuffy needs me,β you lay your head on Lawβs chest, while he keeps an arm around your shoulders, βIβd love to stay butβ¦I need to be with him.β
Law doesnβt say anything at first, placing his hand on your head and stroking your hair. He knew that would be your answer, even with an open invitation to join his crew and stay on the ship. Every one of the Heart Pirates loves you, theyβre all happy Law has found you, and they wish youβd stay. Ikkaku wants to have a roommate still, even if youβve been spending most of your nights in Lawβs room, sheβs going to miss having someone to gossip with. Penguin and Shachi want you to stay because theyβve never seen Law so relaxed before, and Bepo just loves you so much, youβve helped him with so many things the last two years.
Theyβve all come to see you as a member of the crew, if the going away party they threw for you is anything to go by.
ββ¦I wish you would stay.β
You stay quiet but nod, moving enough to lay on top of him with your arms crossed under your chin. Youβre sure you havenβt seen him look so sad since he'd told you his past, but he's definitely not near tears or anything. You donβt expect that anyway, itβs not Law and thatβs okay. You love him as he is.
βAre you going to tell him about us?β
βMm,β you nod a little, already having that planned, βLuffy needs to know, I donβt like to keep things from him.β
Law understands that, heβs perfectly fine with you telling Luffy. If you had said no, he was going to try and convince you to do so anyway. He deserves to know, maybe heβll be understanding and let you join the Heart Pirates, who knows? You know Luffy the best, you may have the same idea, but Law also knows you probably wonβt leave right away even if Luffy is okay with it.
βI love you, Law,β you lay your head back on his chest and Law simply hugs you close, kissing the top of your head, βNothingβs going to change that.β
βI knowβ¦β
Once you fall asleep, Law watches you for a bit, wishing you would make the choice to stay with him and his crew. Everyone loves you, they feel like you belong there with them, he canβt count how many times theyβve all told him to just steal you away from the Straw Hats, but Law could never do that. Heβd never force you to stay if you didnβt want to.
He's realized he loves you too much to do that. When youβre ready to stay, you will, he knows that.
βItβs so stupidβ¦β Law is quiet, whispering mostly to himself to keep from waking you, βI wish I could just tell you. But the words just donβt come out when I tryβ¦β
He worries heβs woken you when you start to stir in your sleep, until you settle back down, he breathes easy again and holds you closer.
hey so itβs march now aka the beginning of endometriosis awareness month and i feel obligated to remind you that debilitatingly painful periods are not normal. if you or someone you know is ending up sick or bedridden every month, you are not crazy and deserve medical attention from someone who will take you seriously
A reminder to the "the American government wouldn't..." crowd. They have. They have made their own internment camps before. They have rounded up innocent citizens and immigrants before. The victims of which are still alive to this day and trying to share their stories with the world, they have been trying to warn us for a long time.
George Takei (as seen above) is a famous example of this. He has written about his experiences time and time again, even publishing a book talking about his time in these camps. He may be famous now, but at the time he was just another kid forced from his home. To this day he still firmly dedicates himself to trying to educate and inform people, trying to spread awareness with his platform.
The American Government can and will do terrible things. Do not let anyone convince you otherwise.
