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.
