If Gojo, Shoko And Geto Had Adopted Tsumiki And Megumi

A Captain’s Love

A fully colored digital comic of the Strawhats from One Piece.

The first page only contains a panel with the words "A Captain's Love.“

The second page shows Luffy and Nami holding hands and smiling at each other. Pictured underneath is a close-up of their interlinked hands and the gray silhouette of a person asking "So, are you guys dating?" Another panel shows Nami's reaction: an appalled expression on her face and "huh?" written in bold red letters.

The second page depicts Luffy sitting on Zoro's lap, happily eating meat while Zoro is drinking. Next to them is a gray silhouette again, asking: "isn't that weird?" At the bottom of the page is Zoro's reaction: an intimidating glare with "WHAT" spelled out in big red capital letters behind him.

The third page contains a drawing of Luffy and Usopp, sleeping on spread out blankets and pillows on the floor while cuddling. Again, the silhouette of a person is in the corner, remarking: "you know what people might think." Usopp's reaction in an extra panel is giving the person a deeply disapproving side-eye, asking "oh yeah...?"

The fourth page depicts Luffy tighly hugging Robin while lifting her in the air as both of them are grinning. The gray silhouette of a person is asking: "Are you really gonna let him act like that with your girlfriend?" Pictured underneath is Franky, deeply confused expression on his face, only responding with a bewildered "uhh...."

The last panel shows Luffy, grinning and holding his hat. The asexual and the aromantic flag are pictured behind him.

Zoro and Luffy have always been my favorite characters. When I first started One Piece, I didn't ship any of the Strawhats. Like many, I view them as family, and I see both Luffy and Zoro as AroAce. Both are so simple-minded and want nothing more but meat/booze and their dreams.

But since both of them hold a very special place in my heart, I always wanted the best for them.

For Zoro, I love to see him happy and not alone. The person who always brings out Zoro's best smiles has always been Luffy. Zoro, who was mostly shown as serious and grumpy, smiles whenever he sees Luffy when they finally meet again after some time apart (when he saw Luffy in Sabaody, it was the first time he smiled, and their Wano reunion where you can really see Zoro's brightest smile). There are so many times Luffy had made him smile and laugh and I know Zoro, despite being aloof and often wants to be alone, really enjoys Luffy's company. Zoro, who also doesn't liked to be touched, still welcomes Luffy's suffocating hugs.

Zoro set sail alone with nothing but his sword and his ambitions, and for him to find someone who also holds the same impossible dream as him and holds his ambitions in the same high regard must have felt a sense of companionship for him. Zoro, who is alone, is given a companion(Luffy) who will also chase the same impossible dream together with him. Not only that, Luffy has also given him a new-found family(Strawhats). I just know that ever since he met Luffy, his life has been better.

Aside from that, Zoro has often been portrayed as someone who would never bow down to anyone. It was even shown multiple times in the series how people are surprised he wasn't the captain. He's arrogant and proud. The reason he wants to defeat Mihawk and Kuina is because he wants to stand above them and be the strongest. Luffy is the only person Zoro has chosen to stand above him as his captain, and that speaks a lot.

Zoro is proud, but Luffy is still the only person that made him bow 2 times. It only shows how much he holds Luffy above the only 2 things that matter when he first sets out to sea. Even now, Zoro is still portrayed as prideful, but with Luffy or the crew, I know he will not have a second thought about throwing it away.

For Luffy, I just want him to be loved and cherished. The Strawhats have shown time and time again how much they care, love and sacrifice themselves for Luffy. But before the Strawhats was even formed, it was just Luffy and Zoro in a dinghy. The moment Zoro carried Luffy's cage while his guts are spilling out was the moment Zoro became my favorite character. He just met Luffy for only a few hours?days?weeks?, and yet he treated him like he was important. Since the beginning, Zoro has consistently shown unwavering loyalty and support to Luffy. Dudebros even called him "Luffy's ride or die" and Zoro honestly earned it. When I read the manga, Zoro didn't even question if Luffy already had a crew or if Luffy already had a ship. He just literally went with him, no questions asked. Where are we going next? The grandline? Well I guess we'll just go there. Let's find a navigator first.

The moment Zoro joined him, Luffy was already so cherished and loved by his first mate(it didn't even matter if it was romantic or platonic. Zoro really loves him). Until now, Zoro, despite being prideful, will sacrifice himself time and time again for him.

From the beginning, it was just Zoro and Luffy in a tiny boat with nothing but each other and their impossible dreams. And I know until the end of the series, they will still stand side by side, with the family they gathered along the way and the dreams they finally reached together.

In summary to my endless rambling, their relationship has always been special to me because, as my 2 favorite characters, I want nothing more than to see them the happiest and at most loved. I didn't ship them at first, but ZoLu just complement each other in every single way that I gradually see that they deserve one another (and I can't see them paired with anyone else). Aside from having the same single braincell and many parallels, their relationship is so simple but has so much depth. They can literally just be best friends or lovers. At the end of the day, they are soulmates.

He saw an opportunity and he took it

Just realized a pattern with my 2 most recent OTPs

Character A: autistic-coded & Sun-coded leader of main group, food obsessed yapper goofball who has a tendency to tick off their group due to their personality and interests, who gets a scar from attempting to rescue their sibling, who’s sibling dies, who’s name starts with L, becomes a King, has a resting face and blunt personality that pisses off people who they just meet, and is extremely loyal to their friends/found family

X

Character B: functioning alcoholic, moon-coded, right hand man to the leader, who has a green color motif, with resting bitch face, listener, enabler of character A , who struggles with verbal affection and tends to show love &care through actions, hot-headed, has become to desensitized to character A’s shenanigans and will get swept up in them, has gone to hell and back for their leader

Now am I talking about Chilaios or Zolu?

Anyways here’s some sketches about the revelation lol

I love these guys 😌

[The proposal]

Ussop: “SO?! “DID SHE SAY YES?!”

Robin smiled, lifting her hand,letting the light glint off the ring.

The reaction was instant.

Luffy threw his arms up in celebration. “WOOHOO!!”

Chopper's eyes sparkling:“Robin, you’re getting MARRIED?!”

Sanji looked devastated but quickly turned his heartbreak into a dramatic bow. “If I had to lose my dear Robin-chwan to anyone, I’m glad it was you, Franky…”

Franky smirked:“Damn right.”

Usopp grabbed Franky’s shoulders, shaking him: “DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU’VE DONE?! YOU JUST PROMISED TO SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE WITH A WOMAN WHO CAN SNAP YOUR NECK WITH ONE HAND!!”

Franky just grinned wider crossing his arms: "And I’d die SUPER happy.”

I love how Oda can't move on without matching zolu. Luffy got eye scar? Give one Zoro. Zoro has a scar on his chest that was happened on important moment in his life? Give the same to Luffy. Luffy has haki? It's time for you to get it too Zoro. Oh king of hell? Well here you go Sun God.

Goodnight. Today, Luffy dragged Zoro onto the deck and sat him down near where he was playing with snow together with others. Whenever he felt a slight chill, he would run to Zoro, curl up in his arms, and snuggle to him. He would stay like that until he felt warm again as Zoro rubbed his body to warm him up and left kisses on his head.

Luffy pic for the night🩵

pre-TS zolu like this because Zoro would be embarrassed to ask for cuddles and kisses

Post-TS Zoro would not feel an ounce of shame tho. He sometimes would randomly get up and hug Luffy kiss all over his face and return to his nap (he got up because he heard Luffy's laugh and he couldn't stop his desire to kiss his smile)

Thinking about how Zoro was the first to join, first to call Luffy “Pirate King,” first to be sent away at Sabaody, first to return to Sabaody, and always the first to go along with his captain’s craziness.

Thinking about how Kuma sent Zoro to an island called Kuraigana. Kurai — lit. “Dark,” and Zoro was trapped in the gloom for two years without his sunshine. (Kuraigana is the perfect example of pathetic fallacy.)

Thinking about how Oda probably just did it for laughs, having Zoro the directionally challenged reach Sabaody first. But he’d given us too much of Zoro as Luffy’s ride-or-die that it’s entirely probable that Zoro simply couldn’t wait any longer. He’d suffered enough.

[But also, this is a convo that likely happened:

Zoro: Hawk-Eyes, it’s been almost two years. I’m leaving. Bye.

Mihawk: Ghost girl, go with him. He still gets lost trying to find the bathroom, and there are 15 bathrooms in this castle.

Perona: No way! I don’t work for him!

Mihawk: Right, but if you don’t take him, he’ll be stuck here forever, drinking all my wine and crying to you about his captain.

Perona: Then you take him!!

Mihawk, in his best sad-drunk Zoro impression: Did ya know, Luffy’s smile is bright like sunshine—

Perona: ARGH OKAY I’LL GO! STOP TRIGGERING ME!]

Lol. That was dumb I’m sorry.
