Zoro & Luffy And The Historical Doctrine Of The Divine Right Of Kings.

I had. A thought. 👁️👁️ “what if Gojo DID curse Geto at the end of JJK0 the same way Yuta cursed Rika?”.

Also I might draw curse Geto attacking Kenjaku in Shibuya. Curse Geto isn’t about to just attack anyone who attacks Gojo senselessly like Rika because he’s not an 11 year old girl in love… he’s a 27 year old man in love… but I think seeing Kenjaku violating his own corpse would set him off. And I do think that Gojo would still be tricked by Kenjaku because curse Geto, as we know from jjk0, isn’t just Geto’s spirit haunting Gojo. It is literally Gojo’s grief personified into a cursed spirit, so curse Geto and “alive Geto” could be two completely different and co-existing things that would still fuck with Gojo mentally for a solid minute.

In the anime, Geto says “at least hit me with some curses” BUT THAT’S NOT WHAT HE SAYS IN THE MANGA. BRO LITERALLY WANTED GOJO TO DO TO HIM WHAT YUTA DID TO RIKA !!

They make me so ill.

I wanted to draw Geto in something resembling his priest outfit but ended up drawing him in a bleach shihakusho, so… yippee? Autism wins? I almost put him in something white and then remembered that black kimonos literally represent death, so keeping him in black would be perfect.

Kuina would've loved Luffy.

Luffy doesn't care about gender, race, biology or any of that shit. If you piss him off, he'll tell it directly to your face. If you hurt his friends, he'll kick your ass. 

You're a girl? So what? He'll punch you in the face if necessary.

Oh, you're a fishman who is known to be 10x physically stronger than an ordinary human? Biologically impossible to beat, you say? What a lame excuse. You hurt his navigator. You're done for. 

Kuina would've loved Luffy.

If Kuina says to Luffy that her dream is to become the World's Greatest Swordsman, Luffy wouldn't laugh at her or judge her like her father or all the other adults do. He would've smiled brightly. He would've cheered her on! He may even think she's cool!

Oh, if only you could have met him, Kuina. Zoro muses as his gaze falls on the sword that holds both his and her dreams together.

If only you had met him. I know you would have loved him too.

And Zoro knows, deep in his heart, she wouldn't mind that their dreams are now tied to Luffy's as well.

He saw an opportunity and he took it

Zolu spend the entire day getting Valentine's couple specials at restaurants like free desserts and drinks

today i am thinking about zoro and luffy both having two constantly depicted scars. one on their eye each and one on their chest each. so intrinsically intertwined they have matching mortal wounds.

and i know it’s silly, and coincidental, but i like to think it symbolises them understanding each other more and more as time passes.

zoro got his chest scar clambering and falling on the way to his dream, being defeated by mihawk so easily then swearing to never lose again. and luffy who got his chest scar clambering and falling in a different way. they understood ultimate defeat respectively, loss and something that hit, quite literally, over the heart. their chest scars are their most important reminders of strength, the need for it. and loss, the need to avoid it.

and then luffy, who’s eye scar is a self-inflicted wound as he tried to convince shanks he could be a pirate too- he was strong enough. and zoro who got his eye scar during the timeskip, in a way we still don’t completely know, in the height of his self loathing for not being strong enough. they both got the scars around their eyes for the future ahead of them, and in trying desperately to get there. luffy asking shanks to take him onboard, and zoro asking mihawk to train him. the scars around their eyes are ground zeroes, an ask, a plea, complete determination.

one piece started and zoro quickly learned to understand loss, knew loss, while luffy would learn loss so deeply in marineford. one piece started and luffy understood helpless desperation, growing up with shanks refusing him. and zoro learned that later, so horribly, after thriller bark turned into the sabaody incident turned into marineford where he couldn’t do anything.

zoro and luffy understand each other so completely, they’re soulmates. but there are still parts of themselves which are obscured, different, simply because they are two different people with two different histories. and those things that are missing come with age, experience or being together. they understand one another more each day, somehow that’s possible, and i think their scars are a good example of it. them learning things which they may not have understood before, connecting to parts of each other they may not have connected to before.

zoro and/or luffy being given a norse funeral, sent out to sea on a flimsy dinghy boat. everything ending exactly how it began

there’s 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.

He drew them in their Egghead outfits

And he drew them looking at each others eyes.

That ain't gay.

I guess no one ships ZoLu more than Zoro himself

Good night. Tonight, Nika Luffy got so excited while kissing Zoro he burned both of their tongues. Zoro threw ice inside his mouth and went back to kissing Luffy. Also here, the pic of night Luffy
