😒 When Your Captain Isn't Paying Attention To You

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

Post-TS Luffy was not ready how Zoro let him be clingy as much as he wanted and also returned the touches. Luffy didn't understand why but every time Zoro stroked his thighs when he threw himself on Zoro's back and wrapped his legs around his waist he got those weird feelings which made him want to flee away from Zoro but also cling to him more. He didn't like staying away so he decided to do the other, he would snuggle closer than ever to Zoro and sometimes just curl on Zoro's lap while he naps and listen his heart while he plays with his fingers or doodle something on his arm. Zoro found those moments cute so he would just hide his smiling face on Luffy's hair and breathe his smell, keep 'napping' until Luffy gets bored.

i drew a little sanji doodle not so long ago... here's the zoro's one

IT IS DONE!!!

My first comic full comic (that isn't a shit post lol)!! I'm excited! This was initially inspired by "My Oh My by Camila Cabello" and it has spurred an entire modern AU in my mind where Zoro is the last person that Luffy met - "Best For Last"

That was initially going to be a stand-alone comic, but since an entire universe is forming, I have at least five more floating around in my head, also inspired by other songs.

5 sword style

zoro unlocking conquerors/supreme king haki while having a flashback about luffy, explaining him as the reason he did so, was insane narratively.

zoro’s devotion is as unquestioned as humans’ need for oxygen, his loyalty is as sure as the need for ground beneath our feet. but to place luffy at the center of even his willpower and ambition, that’s something.

supreme king haki is an unteachable, one in a million power that’s tied with having ‘kingly’ qualities. but zoro doesn’t want to be a leader, he relishes in following. he states, with a picture of luffy in his mind, luffy commenting that he needs no less than the world’s greatest swordsman, that he made a promise. his promise to kuina and luffy is at foundation of his drive.

zoro’s supreme king haki does not stem from the ambition of a king, it comes from wanting to be his king’s very best soldier. he wants to be the greatest, and he wants to be no less than that for luffy. a king, sure, but in the way that a king would answer to a god.

when asked “so you intend to be a king, then?” zoro’s initial instinct was simple, “what?” because that had never even crossed his mind. but he agrees shortly after, with the image of luffy in his mind, “that’s right.” and he became the king of hell, serving a god of the sun.

zoro doesn’t have ambition to conquer, not in the same way luffy does, but he wants to conquer whatever stands in luffy’s way. his ‘kingly’ attributes are accelerated by devotion, like a king would devote his life to his country, his everything. while becoming the world’s greatest swordsman is a convoluted example of a king, sitting atop a throne of symbolic power, i think it’s more accurate to call what zoro unlocked ‘supreme soldier’ haki. ‘conquerors’ haki in the way a marshal would lead an army for his king, and not the king himself. conquering the battlefield as a victory for not only himself, his ambition interconnected with others (those he loves).

i don’t mean to diminish zoro’s ambition, to be the world’s greatest swordsman is a king in itself and that should be recognised. but nothing can detract from the fact that as he unlocked this power, the power of ultimate will, his mind was full of luffy and his smiling face. luffy has always and will always be at the base of zoro’s goal, since the day he met him. becoming the world’s greatest swordsman was no longer solely tied to kuina but now equally his captain, who could have no less than the world’s greatest swordsman.

and what an interesting development we saw happen in front of us. comparatively, the reason for every strawhat’s dream is born from their past, but we witnessed the reason behind zoro’s dream evolve in present time. he no longer strives for kuina alone. he will be a king, because it is what luffy needs as well. he will be the world’s greatest swordsman because he’s got a promise to keep to his captain and his best friend.

a one in a million power, unlocked as a result of a promise. zoro’s devotion is indescribable, his loyalty and his love is quite literally one in a million. if not even rarer as we have never seen an instance of supreme king be activated for someone else. i cannot articulate the beauty of it
