Sometimes The Sun Is A Kind Boy With A Straw Hat

opla is so perfect because not only oda made live action roronoa zoro say fuck, flip someone off and at the same time slice them into half but he also made him gay for luffy like roronoa "be gay, do crime" zoro GO OFF KING

zolu night talks under the stars real 👆

they're getting married, your honor ( twitter drawing 1)

Zoro only smiling when luffy is around..... What are you???? Gay????

anime alabasta really is THE arc where zoro comes to terms with his feelings for luffy huh. the big ole oh moment. the desert heat, the lack of water and food, the fatigue.... it makes zoro's patience with luffy thinner than ever. he's mad at him & constantly snapping. mad that he's "incompetent", that he gets so lost, that he's not a traditional captain (or is he frustrated with himself? for letting his feelings, something he thought he learned to control years ago, got the best of him?). he's going on a long winded rant to chopper -- about the crew, and how sometimes he wonders if he made the right choice. but then -- then!! -- its as if the desert sands themselves shifted something within zoro, because he's saying "as for why I stay with him.... being by his side all this time's given me another goal to strive for." chopper asks "another goal?" and zoro replies "sorry. I don't know how to explain that." it's something he's barely admitted to himself, let alone out loud. and after zoro has finally come to terms with it, calling luffy an idiot goes right back to being an affectionate term of endearment. he's leaving him to fight crocodile alone, and no matter how worried/borderline scared he is (ie working out because he's so scared of luffy losing.... and by default losing luffy), with a smile on his face. because that's his captain. a teenage enigma who will constantly put his life on the line for others, who shines so bright it hurts, who zoro can't stop looking at even if it blinds him. anyways. much to think about.

Live Action Luffy: I can't eat worrying about Zoro. I need you. I need you to wake up, Zoro.

Anime Luffy: *flings Zoro across Arlong park*

One Piece: Defeat the Pirate Ganzack! (1998)

Please excuse the poor quality, but i'll always love this particular part cuz the way luffy clings to his first mate real tight like a monkey?? And when they were sinking, luffy's whole body should've weakened instantly, but he still didn't release his tight grip on zoro lmao😭😭

also luffy even changed his position from holding on to the front of zoro's body to the back of zoro's body

UGH I have the whole zolu tag on my likes PLEASE GIMME SOME MORE

Zoro everytime he sees Luffy
