Just ZoNa

💚 A Zoro x Nami blog 🧡

Every time Zoro noticed it first.

My favorite. ❤️ Zoro knows her too well. Just a small change in emotion, and he already noticed it.

Was Zoro always been so caring to females? To Nami, yes.

Change in weapons? I never thought Zoro was attention to detail. Lol.

Of course, the classic. ❤️

man, she's not going anywhere. isn't our zoro just so damn protective 😻

ZoNa moments in Episode 6:

Zoro being protective and stressed out — a story in 3 screenshots

- Zoro drawing his sword and stepping closer to deflect more bullets after Vivi was shot:

- Zoro looking at Nami and wanting to join the climb to Drum Castle

- Zoro staring out the window, hating it to have stayed back, unable to help and not knowing what is going on:

I made an entire post about my absolutely favorite OPLA2 Zonami moment!!

SPOILER EP 6/7/8 OPLA2 AHEAD

Can we talk about how worried Zoro was about Nami's health? DO WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT?

Zoro is a stoic character who tries not to show his vulnerable side — I love how this contrasts with Sanji. He tries to hide his concern, but he can't help drinking while Luffy and Sanji climb, complaining that he should be with them instead of the cook, and his anxiety is so obvious that it makes Usopp nervous. After Usopp scolds him, Zoro decides to keep himself busy so he doesn't think about Nami. And no, you can't tell me that I'm misinterpreting things because Zoro's concern was directed at Nami.

The fact that, after the battle against Wapol's guards, the first thing he asks when he arrives at the castle with Usopp and Kureha is "Where's Nami?" confirms it.

And, in keeping with Zoro's personality, the way he asks that question is perfect! He doesn't ask what happened to Nami or how she is, he asks where she is, because that's the safest way to avoid showing vulnerability in the face of the possibility that she might be dead.

I love how, immediately afterwards, he pretends nothing happened and looks away. ZORO, I KNOW YOU.

You all have no idea how many fanfictions and fan comics are swirling around in my head after that moment! 💞

2023 has been a really good year for the ZoNa community. Thank you 2023 🧡💚 Cheers! Happy 2024 every one! Glad we all survived 2023.

they might very well tone zona down, unfortunately. but there is a reason to consider the possibility of the opposite thing happening - them kind of "baiting" zona.

why? well, it's netflix. they work differently from japanese shounen industry. what they want more than anything is engagement. if zona gives them that, they might use it.

i guess we will see in s2.

yes, I was really hoping for the latter. For netflix to be netflix. Haha, thanks for this.

I was in the dark place yesterday, hence the negative thoughts, I don't wanna spread negativity in the zona community. Sorry everyone.

One Piece LA Season 2

That’s…very good news. 

I'm just a bit worried about ZoNa. The fact that it got quite an attention that the producers had to talk about it. I hope they won't do something forced/tone it down. I read somewhere that pre-timeskip ZoNa was really popular in Japan as well so it was kinda tone down cause "there is no romance among the crew" 🥹

Steven Maeda's interview regarding Zoro and Nami actor/actress

So according to Steven, "One of the conditions from Oda for the live-action series was that the crew members were prohibited from dating each other." and "`It's just that Makenyu and Emily had good chemistry, and there was no intention of that (to make it seem like a romantic element). You're free to decide what you want to read from the show and how you feel about it." Link: click

I'm shocked that a lot of One Piece fans or not a fan noticed this. And it seems like it's now famous in Japan? Wow! hahaha! What a surprise! I do see some chemistry between them. But, I believe it's more about the characters they are portraying.

Ever since the first encounter in the anime, my shipping heart just sailed. I saw a very good chemistry between them. But it takes a good actor/actress to get this. So it was a good pick.

I think it's good that Oda has that rule in the live-action. He knows there will be something wrong when it happens. However, I believe he also has that rule in his manga and anime. But we really never know. Remember, he breaks his rule with Chopper being a mascot.

[bloodshot13]

Totally! It's not just Mackenyu and Emily's, it's really Zoro and Nami's chemistry, which Zona shippers saw from the start.

Steven Maeda also said that they scoured and used the manga's SBS for the characters (yes, it's canon that Nami chooses Zoro's clothes).

I'm just glad that OPLA remained as faithful to the original material as possible which brings out how great Zoro & Nami's chemistry is.

Side note: What no romantic amongst crew? Isn't frobin already married? 😌🫢

[bloodshot13]

They are so chaotic and I'm here for it! 🤣

[bloodshot13]

Just rewatched OPLA with the Japanese dub, and let me tell you, it's next level epicness!

[bloodshot13]

Look at them. 👀 They all so pretty. Mackenyu's smile in this photo is like Zoro's, it melts my heart especially when he's looking at Nami.

[bloodshot13]

That smile 😳 is so pretty.

[bloodshot13]

I don't wanna spoil Zonami fans with screenshots and gifs. God, I never see this day coming. Zona drinking session, Zoro's attention to Nami, Nami with Zoro when he's injured and all. One Piece live action did not disappoint! 🥹
