ZOLU POSTING!!!!

Zoro calling Luffy Captain is my kink

No thoughts, head empty, only zolu in return to sabaody arc

THEMMM (featuring chopper)

(the fact that after the time skip zoro only started smiling when he saw luffy? im ok)

2 years apart but always on the same brain wave i guess?

Ohhh i will never shut up abt this cuz they are soo???? in love? Like why are they being so domestic???

Luffy grinning wildly while clinging on to his first mate's leg?? lol, also parallel to the wano arc one???!

BONUS:

zolu and frobin my blorbos

Idk i just love them sm!!

Them

Luffy be like:

That's Nami, she's a navigator, she's leading the way.

That's Sanji, he's a cook, he makes food.

That's Usopp, he does repairs and operates canon.

That's Zoro, he's my emotional support swordsman.

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)

Uhh... zoro worrying and/or thinking about his captain's safety pre-TS era???

Orange town

Arlong park

Reverse mountain

Alabasta

Jaya

Water 7

Enies lobby

Thriller bark

Sabaody archipelago

Post war

So I'm rereading Wano arc and chapter 980 has so many Zolu moments. I can never get tired of their interactions.

Starting with Zoro running after Luffy and following the noise knowing it would probably be his captain. Luffy is basically his GPS why is this so funny.

And then he scolds Luffy about failing to be discreet

Only for him to join him because they essentially share the same braincell

And them freaking out when the other gets injured. Seeing Zoro's reaction btw I'm damn glad he was out cold when Luffy died because I'm not sure how he would have coped.

And this panel is basically Zoro's thought process on the daily "only here to please my captain"

10/10 chapter for Zolu nation we power through !

more one piece (mostly zolu) + text posts
