Wingman Zelda, A Concept:

zoro as a mellowed old man brightens my day. him silently opening his arms for chopper and luffy to jump into whenever he sees them, drinking a little less alcohol because it seems to get to him a bit quicker these days. zoro who smiles so gently and so often.

zoro as an old man who just seeps appreciation and gratitude in his own quiet way; for the life he’s been blessed with, and for meeting luffy at that barren marine courtyard. zoro who’s fights with sanji have no bite behind them, insults ranging from ‘cook’ to ‘idiot cook’ like they aren’t just age-old nicknames. his eyes gently watching nami approach to hit him over the head, complaining with only softness as she scolds him, full of unending fondness. laughing with complete adoration as he watches usopp’s legs shake in fear, hoping they never have to be apart and thanking their fates that they get to be together.

old man zoro who is still quiet, gruff, and rough around the edges but gosh, so soft in the middle. he looks at luffy like he strung the stars, like he always has done, but with a sweetness only age and many decades together can bring. he reaches for him often, unashamed physical contact, just because he wishes for the closeness and loves him so much. he relishes in watching chopper grow up, terrified and gleeful on the day the strawhats noticed he’d grown taller than him. zoro who still trains, god knows he won’t stop, but when robin, jinbe and franky ask if he wants to join them on the deck, he says yes instead of continuing without pause. zoro who sits next to brook and is lulled into tranquility, hearing his soft violin and noticing the brush of brook’s blazer against him.

zoro who accomplished his goal to be the world’s greatest swordsman, and doesn’t settle (never settles), but his tenseness eases. knowing his strength is unparalleled and looking around, his crew’s strength is too. he can relax, and he naps belly up with pride each passing day.

zoro who takes more naps and complains about his muscles aching because old age lets him do that, despite the fact he’s been tired and sore since he was seventeen. mellowed old man zoro, you are perfect.

zoro spending most of his waking hours in the company of the moon (himself). his vigilance when in solitude, his natural inclination to the night being a reflection of himself.

zoro sleeping with the sun (luffy). the hours he allows himself to relax and let go of his alertness. always on the deck, bathing in sunlight. his sleeping hours being a reflection of the vulnerability he allows himself with luffy, with the crew.

sun and moon zolu you have my heart

One piece ships + taking bullets for each other

I had. A thought. 👁️👁️ “what if Gojo DID curse Geto at the end of JJK0 the same way Yuta cursed Rika?”.

Also I might draw curse Geto attacking Kenjaku in Shibuya. Curse Geto isn’t about to just attack anyone who attacks Gojo senselessly like Rika because he’s not an 11 year old girl in love… he’s a 27 year old man in love… but I think seeing Kenjaku violating his own corpse would set him off. And I do think that Gojo would still be tricked by Kenjaku because curse Geto, as we know from jjk0, isn’t just Geto’s spirit haunting Gojo. It is literally Gojo’s grief personified into a cursed spirit, so curse Geto and “alive Geto” could be two completely different and co-existing things that would still fuck with Gojo mentally for a solid minute.

In the anime, Geto says “at least hit me with some curses” BUT THAT’S NOT WHAT HE SAYS IN THE MANGA. BRO LITERALLY WANTED GOJO TO DO TO HIM WHAT YUTA DID TO RIKA !!

They make me so ill.

I wanted to draw Geto in something resembling his priest outfit but ended up drawing him in a bleach shihakusho, so… yippee? Autism wins? I almost put him in something white and then remembered that black kimonos literally represent death, so keeping him in black would be perfect.

One of rare moments where Luffy is seated is when Zoro goes to him and hug his waist, press his face to Luffy's chest and nap there. Zoro started to do this after their reunion. Whenever they got separated and didn't see each other for a while, Zoro would do this when the whole crew came together on their ship, their home. To feel Luffy and know there isn't a thousand miles of ocean between them. (Luffy realized he never did it when they were together and others were far away from them, where they couldn't know if they were safe or not. Zoro would only do it when everyone is on his sight, on ship, that's when he would allow himself to relax enough to do that) Those are the rare times Luffy doesn't move for a few hours. Just like now. He was laying down on the floor of the ship with Zoro on top of him, his hand on Zoro's head, patting it while Zoro's face was pressed to his chest and sleeping soundly. Luffy likes those moments so much. Zoro isn't shying away and doesn't see it as a weakness and comes to him on his own accord.

He looked down when Zoro sighed. He giggled, Zoro would always give some type of reaction when Luffy's hands touched his ears and Luffy was having fun with every different reaction he could get from him. So like little shit he is, his hand stayed close to Zoro's ears and started to stroke the tip of his ears. It got red as always, very quickly too. Zoro grunted and made a satisfied sigh when Luffy stroked the ear between his fingers. Zoro pinched Luffy's sides to make him stop but he could see Zoro's smile so rubber user stretched his head out and kissed the corner of his lips and lay back down with a giggle. Luffy didn't mind staying still like this.

+Bonus: sometimes other strawhats would join them too. Franky would sit by Luffy's side so his thigh would touch Zoro's biceps, Brook would play a song by their side while Robin would read something with her soothing voice. Nami would use Zoro's back as a pillow and Usopp would be playing with Zoro's hair alongside Luffy. Sanji would lean over whatever would be close and their shoes would be touching while Chopper is between Zoro's arm and Luffy's chest. Jimbei would sit beside Robin and watch them with a smile.

legitimately so romantic (in any and all interpretations of that word) that on his first day at sea luffy knew three things — he was going to be king of the pirates, he was going to find the one piece, and roronoa zoro was going to be his first mate. that he’d offer to share his lunch zoro to bribe him because he’d rather his best friend with him to share the adventure. that zoro is the one he grabs and drags and flings back to his side. that no matter how long it’s been, a few hours or a few weeks, he tells zoro how much he misses him. that he’d blush at the very sight of his swordsman and throw himself into his arms

Zolu spend the entire day getting Valentine's couple specials at restaurants like free desserts and drinks

Look at how EXCITED Luffy is about watching Zoro fight, KICKING HIS FEET, he’s fully ready to hop in and take Lucci down with Zoro just for fun but he knows Zoro’s got it covered. He’s not worried, he’s perfectly happy just to enjoy the show, watch his swordsman do what he’s best at. Luffy turns around and is concerned for the rest of the crew’s safety, has to be there for them, but he knows - he knows - he can count on Zoro, to the point he can just have fun with him and sit back, giggle, and watch his swordsman beat the shit out of someone.

That’s love babes!

Street harassment is not a compliment.
