I Had To Edit This Because They Didn't Actually Look At Each Other, So I Fixed It!

my favorite menaces

ZoLu is canon, ok???

Do you know Wano Arc invented ZoLu marriage

Look how enthusiastically they met and hugged, maybe kissed behind the scenes who knows.

Then Oda gave them a daughter.

Zoro protecting Luffy protecting Tama is *chef's kiss*

A happy Monkey D Roronoa Family

Power couple vibes

Zolu love language where they just need to see each other to understand what exactly needs to be done

Just another married couple banter

Angry on behalf of their daughter again, I love how Zoro lets Luffy beat up the beast pirates upto his heart's content even though they agreed on a plan to stay unnoticed. Love that he says "alright Luffy if you are satisfied now, Lets get out of here."

Zoro's tough love towards Luffy reminding him to be careful is so heartwarming.

Usual Zoro protecting and taking care of Luffy when his haki ran out. He is carrying Luffy while fighting his opponents 😭😭😭😭

Zoro declaring to the Yonkos that Luffy is his captain husband multiple times, he used every ounce of power in his body to protect Luffy using his best attack and was able to awaken his conqueror's Haki due to Luffy.

There are so many more moments I wanted to add put tumblr allows only 10 pictures, lol so maybe next time

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

Ok but the way luffy and zoro are the only two strawhats who were sent to one of the seven warlords of the sea by kuma, and at some point they bowed before the warlord for the sake of other people??

Now that i think about it, the thing about luffy and zoro that i can't help but to notice, something about some of their 'memorable/big' moments??

For luffy, i'm thinking about how often luffy sacrifices himself for (usually) more than one person, for many people in fact. Heck, even for a whole COUNTRY! (him vs crocodile, him vs kaido, et cetera) And in the panel above, luffy literally bows before hancock for the sake of his 'new' friends.

And for zoro... well, there's thriller bark... (not gonna talk about thriller bark anymore i rEFUSE to succumb to my brain and talk about thriller bark AGAIN) I think that's self-explanatory enough. And then in the panel above, he bows down before mihawk, for luffy's sake.

Ok so, i'm not saying zoro would only die for luffy (he'd also die for his crew, earlier @hellfire-fist talked about this point too), but sometimes i can't help but to think of this dynamic when i think about zoro and luffy:

I think it's pretty obvious who is who.

Like idk, but it's the way oda frames them(?) about what he shows to the audience, his storytelling. It's about the way he emphasizes on how zoro will and has sacrificed so muchhh for his captain's sake (His pride, his ambition, his life), it's about him taking on his captain's pain (which is pretty intimate btw.. if u ask me). And also how luffy will and has sacrificed his whole being, enduring any kind of pain, for the sake of sooo many people.

Like can't stress this enough, but zoro really is the perfect balance for luffy?? Luffy is so reckless, he headbutts danger right in the face, and that's why he has zoro, because zoro will be there to keep him on track.

Luffy wants to save everyone. Well, zoro will make sure that his captain is safe. And once again, they are the top 2 most powerful people in the SHC, so if anyone can keep an eye on luffy, it's zoro. They have fought the same enemies (the dragon from punk hazard, kaido, big mama, lucci, pica, hyouzou, fujitora, etc). If there's someone the closest to being on par with luffy, it's zoro. If anyone can fight alongside luffy against strong opponents, it's zoro. Zoro will do anything in his power to make sure that luffy stays alive (thriller bark, wano), in this (not) essay i will-
