I've been thinking that every time Inosuke is in the forest, he sees a resemblance to Tanjiro in the usual gifts of the forest
When I say I ship Zoro with Luffy I don't mean in a sexual way. They're both asexuals, I think that's obvious. I don't mean in a romantic way either. They're not the type to kiss in the moonlight, have romantic dinners or talk about their future plans. But not in a platonic way either. When I say I ship them, I mean by that they're soulmates. They're destined to be together in every universe. They don't need to use words, they don't need to even be in the same place at the same time. They know they'll meet each other again. They know they would sacrifice themselves without hesitation to each other. And I don't mean they wouldn't do the same for the rest of the crew, of course they would, that's how Luffy and Zoro are. But they're the Captain and his first mate. The King and his right hand man. But at the same time they're the opposites that need each other. Light and Dark. God and Devil.
Luffy: YO! WHAT'S UP ZORO!
Zoro: WHAT THE HELL LUFFY?!
That's how I ship this autistic asexual dumbass duo
THAT'S ALL FELLAS!
Friends to lovers, 2 flirty yet dense boyfriends,
And just 2 dumb guys trying to have fun while also making sure the other doesn't get them killed
I ship it now so yeah
thereâs something so perfect about the fan hc of zoro giving luffy one of his earrings. luffy visually as one (captain) and zoro becoming two (first mate). the symbolism of zoro letting go of his complete isolation and independence, giving a part of himself over as he finally found a home in someone. zoro not being whole without luffy. the representation of luffy and wado, his two treasures.
Lying on someone is personal and I don't think Robin does personal without meaning to. You never see Sanji in her lap and we know he begs.
Franky is sleeping comfortably in her lap! I love the little sleep bubble. Look how comfortable he looks, even when being detained by an enemy. I also think he did so to protect her because they'd have to disturb him to get to her, which is cute, because she's more dangerous.
This is prior to being captured. Before they get knocked out, Frnaky presumably grabs Robin to stop her from hitting the ground, cradling her with his body. It shows him doing so in the anime. They are a couple, but Oda doesn't want to have couples in the main crew or focus on romance---but his first chapter is called Romance Dawn. And yes, I know he means the romance of adventure but come on.
zoro and luffy being separated for approximately two weeks in canon, luffy seeing zoro from what appeared to be at least a hundred meters away, blushing, and then all but flying towards zoro who had his arms open for him to jump into.
and then they hugged like the world would crumble if they werenât in each otherâs arms, luffy quite literally needing to be pried away so zoro could breathe. and even then they stayed in each otherâs arms as they talked to each other, smiling ear to ear. i donât think i ever moved on

zoro unlocking conquerors/supreme king haki while having a flashback about luffy, explaining him as the reason he did so, was insane narratively.
zoroâs devotion is as unquestioned as humansâ need for oxygen, his loyalty is as sure as the need for ground beneath our feet. but to place luffy at the center of even his willpower and ambition, thatâs something.
supreme king haki is an unteachable, one in a million power thatâs tied with having âkinglyâ qualities. but zoro doesnât want to be a leader, he relishes in following. he states, with a picture of luffy in his mind, luffy commenting that he needs no less than the worldâs greatest swordsman, that he made a promise. his promise to kuina and luffy is at foundation of his drive.
zoroâs supreme king haki does not stem from the ambition of a king, it comes from wanting to be his kingâs very best soldier. he wants to be the greatest, and he wants to be no less than that for luffy. a king, sure, but in the way that a king would answer to a god.
when asked âso you intend to be a king, then?â zoroâs initial instinct was simple, âwhat?â because that had never even crossed his mind. but he agrees shortly after, with the image of luffy in his mind, âthatâs right.â and he became the king of hell, serving a god of the sun.
zoro doesnât have ambition to conquer, not in the same way luffy does, but he wants to conquer whatever stands in luffyâs way. his âkinglyâ attributes are accelerated by devotion, like a king would devote his life to his country, his everything. while becoming the worldâs greatest swordsman is a convoluted example of a king, sitting atop a throne of symbolic power, i think itâs more accurate to call what zoro unlocked âsupreme soldierâ haki. âconquerorsâ haki in the way a marshal would lead an army for his king, and not the king himself. conquering the battlefield as a victory for not only himself, his ambition interconnected with others (those he loves).
i donât mean to diminish zoroâs ambition, to be the worldâs greatest swordsman is a king in itself and that should be recognised. but nothing can detract from the fact that as he unlocked this power, the power of ultimate will, his mind was full of luffy and his smiling face. luffy has always and will always be at the base of zoroâs goal, since the day he met him. becoming the worldâs greatest swordsman was no longer solely tied to kuina but now equally his captain, who could have no less than the worldâs greatest swordsman.
and what an interesting development we saw happen in front of us. comparatively, the reason for every strawhatâs dream is born from their past, but we witnessed the reason behind zoroâs dream evolve in present time. he no longer strives for kuina alone. he will be a king, because it is what luffy needs as well. he will be the worldâs greatest swordsman because heâs got a promise to keep to his captain and his best friend.
a one in a million power, unlocked as a result of a promise. zoroâs devotion is indescribable, his loyalty and his love is quite literally one in a million. if not even rarer as we have never seen an instance of supreme king be activated for someone else. i cannot articulate the beauty of it
The day they get called King of Pirates & King of Hell as their wanted poster shows, it is the day married zolu gets confirmed as canon to me.
