gotta admit I have an indescribable amount of feels for these two
Goodnight, tonight Luffy did everything he could think of to make Zoro laugh because after not seeing him for two years he missed hearing Zoro's laugh, watching his body shake with it and his dimples showing as his face stretch with his smile. And Zoro, who was simply delighted to see his captain, couldn't hold his smile in.
idc there’s truly something so romantic about luffy knowing three things as fact his first day at sea — that he was going to be king of the pirates, that he was going to find the one piece, and that roronoa zoro was going to be his first crew mate. he heard the “demon” of the east blue’s name and sailed to find him.
zolu is maybe one of the easiest ships i've ever liked. they're dating, except when they're not, they're best friends even when they're kissing and they're still captain and first mate when they aren't. they hold hands, they hug. they have sex. they don't.
Luffy can hold Zoro's katanas and Zoro can hold Luffy's strawhat and no one bats an eye. one says "You're so cool!" and the other says "You're strong" and it's just another way to say "I see you, this is why I follow you/this is why I trust you". it's not seeing each other for a long time and still knowing how the other's steps sound like against wood and sand. the captain runs and the first mate follows. it's always "Zoro and the others" and "Where's Luffy?"
if they're just friends, if they're something more, if they don't have a label for it, at its core, it's just about how they get each other. they understand how the other's mind works. however you view them, it doesn't erase they fact that they love each other in a way they don't love other people.

Interrupting my lawzo shenanigans with another favorite pairing of mine <3
When I got back into one piece, I wasn’t sure how to feel about zolu, but then after digesting opla and so much fan content, I was pretty much onboard with these two sillies.
