clean up some ZoLu sketches aaayyeee
kinda incredible to say that you think god isn’t that big a deal cuz u know a guy
“Zolu canon” I say into the mic. The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame when a voice from the back speaks and commands silence in the room.
“She’s right!” someone says. I look for the owner of the voice. It's Eiichiro Oda, the biggest zolu shipper.
maybe it’s not so much zoro’s willingness to do anything for luffy that makes his devotion so special, but his happiness to be doing it.
when luffy gives him an order, it’s often accompanied by a smile on zoro’s face and a tinge of joy as he replies. when luffy goes somewhere, he follows with a grin and a content look.
for zoro who is a quieter character, more serious in tone, his instant happiness to answer luffy’s orders and to do something for him is so gratifying. and i think it really emphasises his devotion that helping luffy, being by his side, being able to do something for him, etc, is what brings him absolute guaranteed happiness through his cool character trope.
zoro doesn’t feel reluctance following luffy’s lead, he relaxes. for years, as a teenager, he’s had to make executive decisions alone and there’s something in me that feels like he’s happy to give that up. to let luffy decide his course in the comfort of the people he loves. he’s a follower by preference, and he’s found his leader.
and of course he thinks critically, his devotion and loyalty is not blind. zoro is very importantly on an equal footing to luffy, unafraid of combatting any ideas or paths he doesn’t agree with. and that makes his contentment even more special because you know it is wholeheartedly transparent. he would say otherwise, and so that grin on his face is plainly, completely true.
his devotion is so special because it is his happiness too.
Happy Valentine's Day!!
Where I'm from, this day celebrates all kinds of love and friendship, not just Eros.
HC is that the crew set this up because they're tired of the two dancing around each other. And for their own entertainment lol
