Luffy and Zoro interaction was perfect on episode 1127!!
Luffy laughing and kicking his feet bc he was happy to see Zoro and asking him if he wanted his help. And of course, Zoro denied his help while also told him to focus on his own opponent.
I love them!!
Imagine old men Zolu but they are both in their 60s and Luffy would still fling himself on to Zoro's back for a piggyback ride. Luffy, who is as large as Garp, and Zoro, who has chronic back pain but Luffy would still insist Zoro to carry him as if they were still 19 and 21.
--------
But it's actually 60 yo Zoro sitting in front of Luffy's grave imagining a future IF Luffy did lived longer because Luffy didn't live pass his forties. He would rather suffer tha pain of having a giant Luffy hurting his back than his current life where Luffy isn't there anymore.

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
idunno i just enjoy them
“Play it straight”
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
