Canonically Jealous Tummy Ache Zoro Is Soooooo Embarrassing For Him And He Knows It! Bro Knows The Entire

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.

zoro and luffy who sit incredibly close to each other naturally: legs intertwined, backs awkwardly bent, shoulders jammed together.

if you asked either of them about it, luffy would just smile wide and inch closer again, and zoro would grunt in wordless protest to being interrupted. but the real answer is on that tiny dinghy boat, on that flimsy raft they began their journey on, sitting that close was required.

if they sat with their heads leaned together, they could stretch their arms and legs. if they laid shoulder to shoulder, their whole bodies could fit without squishing to the sides of the boat, allowing them to get a good sleep. their relationship started with sitting close and it never stopped.

maybe it’s nostalgic, maybe being so close reminds them of where it all began, where they began. or maybe they just it love it so dearly, it’s so ingrained in them that they refuse to stop. feeling most comfortable with the smell of the sea in the air and skin on skin, never getting enough of each other.

sometimes luffy stretches towards zoro, a leg interlinked with his under the dining table despite sitting two seats away, because they’ve got such a big ship now and sometimes that’s a bit much. sometimes you’ll find them in the sunny's smallest storage cupboard, notably the size of that old dinghy, to the point franky renovated it full of blankets & gentle lights, and found a new home for his scrap metal. the strawhats all wonder why on earth they’d want to sleep there but it’s the best rest either of them get so they've only ever tried to make it even more comfortable for them.

as they fling one another about, manhandle each other to safety in a battle, face back to back as they fight a hoard of marines- the warmth in their contact brings them indescribable peace, brings them back to the east blue. the feeling of home found in each other.

That awkward moment (for Zoro) when Sanji calls for Nami at the same time with Zoro calling for Luffy happily and both of them,for a second, sounding the same and everyone smirking at Zoro's furiously blushing face.

Friends to lovers, 2 flirty yet dense boyfriends,

F L I R T I N G

And just 2 dumb guys trying to have fun while also making sure the other doesn't get them killed

Repost If you ship Danvis and say why you ship it

I ship it now so yeah

i’ve always smiled at the idea of taller zoro, shorter luffy as young adults until zoro seems to mellow out and luffy grows three heads as they get into their 30-40s, swapping builds.

zoro suddenly has to deal with a captain who already loves to fling him about, now doing so at maximum efficiency, and luffy loves the hugs he can give everyone with the size advantage. it’s such a sweetly funny thing to imagine

This is a married couple. Just look at them they have been married for decades now, and they are gonna make it everyone's problem.

post-TS when Zoro does his rare laugh, with all of his gums showing, Luff would kiss his teeth because he looks beautiful laughing like that.

old man zolu and the contrast between their combat and domestic life. i adore it so dearly.

the king of the pirates and the world's greatest swordsman; something so regularly mentioned yet something i never sit with and truly dwell on how powerful that is. to be incomparable in the one piece universe, to sit atop every enemy without question, and to sit there together? that’s unquantifiably strong. powerful in the way rayleigh's name alone evokes a fear and respect that shakes whoever hears it, causes even the most spontaneous and arrogant characters' movements to halt, to re-question their decision to fight. they will be that and so much more.

but then, the domestic side. days spent in each other's arms on the sunny's deck, bedtimes spent grumbling about sore backs and muscles. reaching for reading glasses on the bedside table, zoro asking luffy to grab something from the highest cupboard because he doesn't feel like doing so himself. zolu who can no longer spend hours uncomfortably wrapped around each other or else zoro’s ankles will begin to ache unbearably, so they found new positions to accommodate it, and they wrap around each other in different ways instead. the baffling opposition, terrifying and idyllic, i can't get enough.

luffy, with salt & pepper hair and encompassing hugs that remind everyone of a bear, who could near slaughter a man with a targeted glance. zoro, with gentle peace and happiness in his eyes, who's kill count got lost in the thousands many years ago. luffy and zoro who spend their days adventuring, soft, relaxed, but they can switch so uncannily and destroy world renown figures without an hour’s planning. covered in blood and looking forward to that evening's sunset together. just so sinister and so softly sweet, they’re perfect

Carrying their bf/gf

How many times do you think Zoro lost him in their previous lives?
