so zoro calling luffy ‘king of the pirates’ after his defeat to mihawk is not only the first time someone canonically reaffirmed luffy’s dream in one piece, indirectly saying he will achieve it, but also the first person to ever call him pirate king.
zoro being the first crew mate and the first person to call luffy by king of the pirates… these intrinsically intertwined pirates, i swear. they instantly believed in each other, trusted each other wholeheartedly. unlike to others where luffy is the future king of the pirates, that never mattered to zoro because luffy already *is* to him.
it doesn’t matter how long, where the road takes them. luffy is the king of the pirates to zoro, he was addressing the king of the pirates, and he was talking to luffy.
Boy is making himself so dizzy
it makes me sick to think that people don’t think luffy cares as much about zoro it makes me SICK!! opla luffy said (I need you, you could never fail me, holding his hand against his heart) what animanga luffy breathes in and out daily. he does not tell zoro how special he is, how much he relies on his constant presence by his side. bc it’s a given. it’s second nature. of course he will look for zoro in a crowd and say hello to him first. of course he will feel his absence so severely that even hours or days or mere weeks feels like a lifetime and break his unspoken rule of not concerning himself with the past to ask about zoro’s time away from him. of course he will trust him implicitly and offer to share his lunch with him and have less fun without him and blush at the sight of him and expect to spend the rest of his days with his second half. because zoro holds & protects his heart, and luffy does not need to remind him it’s beating
"Let me worship you as you do for me." -*-*- These two are just festering in my brain. Nobody stop them; it makes me happy lol

Easily one of my favorite things about Zoro and Luffy (not necessarily in a shipping context, though *I* enjoy them in a shipping context) is the way they seem so different on a surface level - this whimsical sunshine boy captain and his big, stoic, serious right hand man - but when you actually get to know them, they’re pretty much two halves of the same weird goddamn idiot
Specifically, I love that whenever Luffy is doing / saying something totally absurd, there’s a not insignificant chance that we’re about to cut to Zoro, whether he’s two steps away or halfway across the island, doing the exact same unhinged shit, and it’s so goddamn funny every time???
