I Hate That Every Time I Look For Color Studies And Tips To Improve My Art And Make It More Dynamic And

Just let me listen to your noises, Captain?

It's still surprising to me how underrated this ship is. These two share so many moments together where they clearly rely on and care for each other, that they can understand what the other means wordlessly. Their relationship dynamic is simple and yet there is so much depth. Especially, I was rewatching the battle of Zoro & Luffy vs Kaido, in which Zoro once again claims that if Luffy dies, he's going with him. BASICALLY, he's saying that he has no reason to live if there is no Luffy, and RIGHT AFTER Luffy CONFIRMS that?

Just in general Oda has developed their relationship; you can actually see the difference in how their trust level is building from the beginning, and how Zoro changes because of Luffy. I cannot wait to see Luffy learn how many sacrifices his swordsman has done for him.

Yet it's weird that it's not a popular ship? Every time I bring it up, I get various responses like "oh I'd have never thought to ship them" or "why would you??". WHY WOULD YOU NOT? Just look at them!? They are clearly beyond normal friendship.

Perona being annoying and Zoro being confused about hair dye because why not

Luffy’s middle name should be B. for Blindside the way he’s constantly taking Zoro off guard. Or maybe the D. stood for Devious, or Devil- any of them would fit, considering the Situations this man has put him through.

OR

Zoro meets Luffy’s brothers. Was he expecting this? Technically. Was he prepared for this?

Not in the slightest.

Every day Law spends with the Strawhats, he learns that not only is Luffy completely unhinged, they ALL are. Aka the Strawhats move as a collective idiot entity.

Do you have any fanfiction recommendations for Luffy x zoro?? I've been in and out of the Fandom for like 5 years and im kinda craving some good fanfiction!!:)

- bear

I am unfortunately a bad person to ask for fic recs bc my tried and true method will always be sorting by kudos so anyone who has suggestions drop them in the notes BUT here r some off the top of my head I like

our shores of starlights ; luffy doesn't find the demon pirate hunter at shell town, he finds a sword -- zoro is a spirit trapped in wado. I love long slow burns and I love MILD au's that follow canon, so at 45k this is one of my go tos

I'll take this piece of you ; opla specific fic

zoro the green moss monster ; 5 + fic about zoro being jealous. jealous!zoro is one of my faves so I pretty much HAD to include it

yah, I don't know about that waiter ; another jealous zoro fic tee hee except this is opla specific

got all my attention fixed on you ; I like this one bc not only does it feature asexual luffy BUT it also has the "I bite u bc I like u" trope which I'm a big fan of for him n zoro

observe when I am dead ; I love angst w a happy ending. this is a LOT of angst w a happy ending.

I will leave u with these for now! maybe I will add more later, plus check the notes ppl might will drop some of their faves as well <3

image if luffy didn't convince zoro to join him at shell town. I fear he would have resorted to wooing him with dead/dying nasty pirates as courting gifts. 'look this guys worth 17 million. u could buy a REALLY cool sword w that. are you ready to join me yet?' (zoro unofficially joined weeks ago / has been living on the going merry but is waiting to see how far this will go)

uuuuuuuuuh its the lads, gazing lovingly at each other, like one does

Perona and Zoro both being yeeted to Mihawks goth island is my Roman Empire
