legitimately so romantic (in any and all interpretations of that word) that on his first day at sea luffy knew three things — he was going to be king of the pirates, he was going to find the one piece, and roronoa zoro was going to be his first mate. that he’d offer to share his lunch zoro to bribe him because he’d rather his best friend with him to share the adventure. that zoro is the one he grabs and drags and flings back to his side. that no matter how long it’s been, a few hours or a few weeks, he tells zoro how much he misses him. that he’d blush at the very sight of his swordsman and throw himself into his arms
zoro and/or luffy being given a norse funeral, sent out to sea on a flimsy dinghy boat. everything ending exactly how it began
animanga zoro meeting opla zoro would be so funny bc opla zoro would be like “so have you and luffy….”
animanga zoro: 🤨
opla zoro: are you serious? you’re serious. what do you think those tummy aches are, bro? what would you do if I went over and made out with—
animanga zoro, swallowing a bottle full of tums and brandishing his swords: I have no reservations about killing myself
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!
attack dog roronoa zoro, owner monkey d luffy
I try to be chill and normal (multishipping) but zoro is so damn jealous & devoted over luffy it’s hard bc whenever imagine zoro in another pairing all I can think is ‘this has potential but will ultimately fail/be angsty bc zoro will canonically put luffy first’ or when I try to say “luffy has two hands!!!” I immediately hear “and zoro’s holding them both” in the back of my head. bro has three swords and he is NOT afraid to use them
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
WHY has no one talked about these panels. fuck it its 12 am (at the time of me "finishing" (<- not even close) writing this, its nearly 2 am) im going to talk about them
ahem.
before i get to the Main Point i wanna discuss chils tendency to spiral into his thoughts
like, sure, yeah, he's a reasonable guy. real logical-- but he tends to rush through so many possibilities and in this scene even berates himself for his tiny mistake. every thought in this scene goes so fast to me here, just "snap snap snap, call for help, no thatll attract too much attention- wait is there a switch? crap its too far away- nevermind lets just wait for marcille- but can i trust her with that?? god im so stupid, am i just gonna be trapped here until morning???" and it takes a moment for him to stabilise and snap out of it
like... he even has a little pep talk about it
i guess you could take this as him merely being a quick thinker? but i highly doubt it -- look at this fucking guy.
anyways. hes always got to be eased out of it one way or another, whether that be complainerism (self-explanatory), strategising with another person (that way all the insecure thoughts get pushed to the back in favour of working together), reassuring himself (discussed above) or...
you. could.
distract him.
place a brick wall in front of that zooming train of thought and watch it crash and burn :)
he doesnt even respond in that first pic, by the way. in fact, he doesnt say anything for another 3 (and a bit) pages, and by then the topic has been safely switched (granted those three pages are just marcille and laios making the familiars, but i feel it still stands that there was no response at all, not even visually)
secondly, in that other instance -- see how his eyes go wide as saucers when contact is made? and how they turn into pinpricks once he looks back**? god. and. like.
oh. fuck. ive gottta continue this in a reblog since ive reached the picture limit on mobile -- i am not even a THIRD of a way through all my thoughts on this- we didnt even get to my footnote!! sit tight everyone :)
Sometimes Luffy just wants to sleep hugging Zoro, and Zoro also doesn't want to leave his side even if he has things to do. So they come up with a plan. Zoro goes about his day holding Luffy in his arm and carries him with a satisfied smile.
