Happy Birthday to the world's greatest swordsman!!

Please help me keep creating and make a living!! Talk to me on Twitter <3 Support me on Patreon ^^ Buy me a Ko-Fi :3c

canonically jealous tummy ache zoro is soooooo embarrassing for him and he knows it! bro knows the entire world sees him as luffy’s second hand man & first mate, that he’s been with luffy since day one, that he IS strong and loyal and fierce and these are all qualities that luffy values, that he understands luffy on a nearly telepathically linked level and their bond transcends definition……and yet the second luffy compliments how strong or cool another man is he cannot bite his tongue fast enough to stop himself from being a little bitch about it

I’m still injured but Luffy and Zoro doodle be upon ye d:

Zolu is canon. Doesn't necessarily have to be romantic, but their lives are so intertwined you just can't separate them. Doesn't matter what you ship or what you don't, or what you think of the characters, you can't separate them without changing some of the things fundamental to their characters.

I gotta say I'm obsessed with what Luffy does to the typical "sunshine" character trope, in that he's an exception to the usual portrayal but perhaps the most true to it of anyone. He's not "sunshine" as in pure niceness and sweetness and innocence. He's sunshine as in The Sun.

He's joy and light and warmth, illuminating all the beauty of the world, but he's also powerful enough to kill and blind and burn. He's an everyday annoyance. He's the strongest force of nature that exists. His happiness shines bright for miles. So does his rage. You could look at him wrong and be screwed up for life. You never want to live without him.

I can't get over this.

Just let me listen to your noises, Captain?

It's still surprising to me how underrated this ship is. These two share so many moments together where they clearly rely on and care for each other, that they can understand what the other means wordlessly. Their relationship dynamic is simple and yet there is so much depth. Especially, I was rewatching the battle of Zoro & Luffy vs Kaido, in which Zoro once again claims that if Luffy dies, he's going with him. BASICALLY, he's saying that he has no reason to live if there is no Luffy, and RIGHT AFTER Luffy CONFIRMS that?

Just in general Oda has developed their relationship; you can actually see the difference in how their trust level is building from the beginning, and how Zoro changes because of Luffy. I cannot wait to see Luffy learn how many sacrifices his swordsman has done for him.

Yet it's weird that it's not a popular ship? Every time I bring it up, I get various responses like "oh I'd have never thought to ship them" or "why would you??". WHY WOULD YOU NOT? Just look at them!? They are clearly beyond normal friendship.
