A/n: One thing I noticed about this fic was how I wanted to make One Piece exist in this au as an anime and manga as well as "real life" if you know what I mean? So I'm now realizing how that isn't working as I used Nico Robin as the librarian Law works for in chapter one. Since I don't know what other anime to use for the little thing going on here, you can tell me in the comments. Thanks!

Loooooong chapter for you all!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Law slowly woke up to the sound of Luffy's door being knocked on harshly. He sat up and rubbed his eyes before he realized that he was home alone. With no one to protect him.

He threw the blanket off and went to the peek hole at the door to see who it was. Then he saw a familiar smile stretched upon a certain someone's face.

He jumped back terrified, his heart pumping like a racehorse, his eyes wide open, his hand on his chest.

Then all of a sudden he heard the laugh, that taunting, evil laugh that he heard for countless years.

It was getting louder and louder until...

Gasp! Gasp! Gasp!

Law sprang up from where he fell asleep on the couch in front of the tv. He was breathing so heavily. It was going way. Too. Fast.

Law looked around horrified. Doflamingo could pop out of any corner. He must be so angry at Law for going to the authorities again. What if it didn't work again? What if Doflamingo got out? What if he found where he lived? What if, what if, what if?

He needed to calm down. Breathe Law, breathe. He told himself. I can't, I can't, I can't! He replied back to himself.

Without knowing what else to do, he grabbed his phone and went straight to Luffy's contact and phoned her without thinking about Luffy being in class.

Luffy was in her English class doing silent reading. Suddenly her phone started vibrating on her desk. Crap! She didn't put her phone on "do not disturb"! She looked to see if her teacher was looking and when she saw that her teacher wasn't looking, she put down her manga. She flipped over her phone to see who it was.

"𝗧𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗼❤️️ is calling..." Her phone read.

Luffy knew it had to be important so she raised her hand up. "Ms. Ganmi?"

She raised her head from her book and looked over to her. She smiled, "Yes Luffy?"

Luffy gestured to her vibrating phone, "Can I take this call? It's kind of important."

After Ms. Ganmi let her leave the class she answered the call. In a hushed tone she answered, "Torao? What's wrong?"

Law on the other side of the call, at home, breathing too quickly for anybody's liking replied back in a shaky, panicked voice, "Luffy? Luffy, Luffy, I-I can't breathe!"

Luffy frowned worried. She remembered what she learned from what Law told her. Law told her that he had panic attacks and nightmares. Law said that to calm himself down he follows a breathing pattern. Breathe in for four, hold for five, out for five, hold for four. 

"Torao? Breathe in for four seconds okay?" She put her mouth to the phone in hopes that her partner could hear her deep breathing.

"I-I c-can't!"
