Threesvardstyle - Linn !!

I kind of show this in gifsets I made but I don't think I expressed, in words, how incredibly endearing I find it that live action Luffy is so very attentive when it comes to Zoro.

First time he sees Zoro and how he ate the rice ball off of the floor, he later thinks rice balls must be Zoro's favorite food (and he's even right lol). He also inevitably notices how much Zoro likes booze.

He remembers every single word Zoro said during their first conversation.

He may not care about what Nami wears but he sure was interested in what Zoro was gonna wear. And that same evening, he recommended Zoro the snacks he was eating which is just so... cute. He found smth good and immediately wants to share it with his beloved Zoro, basically.

But the possibly sweetest thing is that he remembers one line from Zoro which was enough to let him understand the importance of the Wado Ichomonji.

My boy Zoro didn't stand a chance, really. Like, of course he'd fall in love with this guy. Of course he would. They really did the best they could within just eight episodes to show the strength and importance of Zoro and Luffy's bond, and I cannot shut up about it T-T

Zoro being the only one who can get Luffy to understand something (Yet again).

One Piece: Stampede (2019)

Rewatching stampede and i will always think about the fact that zoro and luffy literally split up during the treasure hunt part (cuz zoro asked for his captain to go ahead first, while he fought killer), but when the ground freakin collapsed, somehow, he was able to spot his captain falling into the sea??

What kind of eagle eyes does he have? zoro literally has a spidey sense but instead of for sensing danger, it's for sensing when luffy's in danger. (proven from time to time in the animanga too!)

Also.. they truly are the happiest when they are together?? i wanna vomit

A very little detail about luffy that just came to mind (probably not important but pls excuse my tunnel vision when it comes to zolu), but zoro literally was the first strawhats that luffy shedded his tears for???

Mihawk vs Zoro. You can even see his tears falling from both eyes. From the left eye (1st pic) and right eye (2nd pic).

And not only that but i think it happened twice?

You can see rayleigh stopping kizaru from hurting zoro. Then if you look at the bottom panel, after seeing rayleigh you can spot the little snot from luffy's nose and a single tear from his left eye. Luffy was very relieved to see rayleigh, but more importantly, he was very relieved because rayleigh had just saved zoro from kizaru's attack.

Now the more i think about it, those two moments (when luffy cried(?) for zoro) were never really a grandiose one with all the big tears and ugly sobbing. But well, if you think about it, that kind of thing wouldn't be possible(?) not really... cuz at the time when those two situations occurred, zoro was in incredible danger AND with powerful foe/s around. Luffy didn't have the time to properly process his emotions. Like heck after mihawk slashed zoro, luffy even tried to attack mihawk. And with the sabaody arc one, the situation was even more chaotic..

So honestly? Im just thinking about how zoro probably was the first person outside of luffy's family and all of his loved ones from foosha village (imma include shanks and his crew just bcs) that ever made him cry. I'm talking about the 'you are important to me, i care about you, and i don't want you getting hurt/dead' kind of tears, and ughh, idk let me just excuse myself and weep for a bit

That being said, if im not wrong i think zoro and usopp are the only two strawhats who ever made their captain cry twice. (Luffy cried after the battle with usopp (usopp leaving the crew) and after usopp rejoining the crew)

Shanks just love to tease Buggy... <3 He's so cute when he's mad!
