Concept: ok so Zoro has…issues with things like spatial awareness and directional memory. Maybe even visual memory, right?
Zoro, whomst've as always professional yearner for Sanji, and is ofc not gonna say shit to sanj, actually has a hard time remembering exactly what he looks like, but he knows he likes it along with everything else that is Sanji. It’s why he’s always staring or desperately trynna get his attention/get in Sanji's face, if it’s not in front of Zoro, Sanji's face starts fading pretty quick in Zoro's mind
(it’s also maybe why Zoro is so fixated on the curly brows, only Sanji has them (even his brothers' go the other way) so Zoro won't ever mistake another blond guy for the cook. Zoro once called another redhead Nami and she almost murdered him before she realized he has a bit (or a lot) of face blindness)
So! While in an Island known for Fashion and photography, Zoro goes into further debt to Nami, who knows about…all of this… when she offers, for a perfectly reasonable price! to have a photo shoot with the Girls of the Sunny (Sanji is one of the girls when he is behavin). Not just group photos, but individual candied shots, some glamour, some mundane, etc. And if Zoro pays the very exorbitant reasonable rate per photo, he gets as many copies as he wants. And if he’s willing to the premium rates, Nami is 100% certain she can get Sanji to take his shirt off for a few
And like, Zoro is gonna pay, right? He only had Sanji's drawn wanted poster during the 2 years apart and that was not the best visual aid…
(this is easier then the vague plan Zoro had to somehow convince Luffy to get them all to sit for portraits or something, his time with Mihawk in the castle has skewed his perception of visual documentation, they have cameras in your world Zoro! Maybe it’s a bit wearied they are alive but still! hah)
and if Zoro's small amount of personal possessions now includes a box with pictures, that’s his business. And if a small locket with a tiny picture of a certain blond cook, smiling his big All Blue smile, is added to his even smaller cache of personal treasures (swords and earrings) then what’s it to you?!?? fuck off
owww the little locket ToT
i love face blind zoro it explainns a lot lmao
