Love Them

Spoilers for Alabasta Arc.

You know what I want from One Piece: Live Action S2? I want to see a reverse zolu "I need you" moment.

Just imagine Zoro sitting next to an unconscious Luffy, him being worried sick for his captain because the guy got a HOOK put straight through him, and not only that, but Luffy was also POISONED. Well, yes, the king said that the antidote was given to him straight away. BUT STILL.

So here we have a worried Zoro, all by himself near Luffy quietly repeating the phrase that brought him back to the world of living: "We need you, Luffy. I need you".

But you know what's the worst part is? Luffy doesn't wake up.

collected sketches from the last couple weeks

I know that we zolu shippers like the religious tropes 'sun god/king of hell', 'angelic god/demon' and the headcanon of Zoro worshiping the god that Luffy has become, being one of his most faithful acolytes and leaving his atheism behind.

I love all that too, but what if it were different...

Like, what if Zoro despised Nika. What if he perceived it as an intrusive will taking over Luffy? What if he knows that using these powers further reduces his lifespan and he wants Luffy to resort to his Gear 5 as little as possible? After all, Luffy doesn't want to be worshiped or praised, he does NOT want to be anyone's hero.

I don't know, I can see Zoro looking at Nika and thinking "yeah, he's ridiculous and kind of cool, but that's enough, I want Luffy back."

Someone in the bookmarks said so and I realised they’re right hehe Summary:

“Maybe we should all wear it next time we fight some other pirates, it’d make them think twice about messing with us!” Luffy said.

“I don’t think you could get everyone to agree to that. But I do think everyone would do it if you seriously annoyed them into it.” Nami said, wondering what the others would look like with painted lips. She shivered. “Food for thought.”

“Can Nami put some on me?”

sorry for hitting you with my car (my bad)

“I’m kinda glad I hit you with my car.”

“I’d do it again, I think. No. I definitely would,” Luffy continues after several minutes have already passed. He’s still facing the TV, eyes focused on the flashing scenes, but he steals a quick side glance. “Y’know, if it meant I got to meet you.”

A modern ZoLu fic in which Luffy takes “I’d hit that” entirely too literally. (It was an accident, really, even if he’d probably do it again.)

Read on Ao3. 🖤

cracking eggs

⚔️👒Then vs. Now💚❤️

formed a band and turn out they all have different music tastes

gotta love that the anime added some frames when the strawhats were escaping from the marines at the end of enies lobby, and very injured luffy still wanting to help and fight

and they just use him to repel the incoming attack, same as in the manga asdksffd

monster trio being idiots again (affectionate) ✌️
