I thought about this moments in the begining when Zoro does something cool and Luffy goes "Woah!". And I thought where are Zoro's reaction to Luffy doing something cool?
And it's actually pretty funny, because Zoro haven't seen Luffy doing anything cool untill much later.
When they just met, Luffy hit Helmeppo, Zoro was the one who striked down Morgan.
Then Buggy. Zoro was out sleeping when Luffy fought.
Kreyg, Zoro missed the whole thing.
Arlong. Zoro was bleeding behind the fence.
Zoro only witnessed Luffy being absolute idiot and getting in stupid situations. Like being carried away by a bird, being caged, doing shitty job as a waiter, getting himself stuck in concrete and then tossed into water. But not for a moment Zoro doubted that Luffy can and will beat up those big bad guys, believed in him and called him King of Pirates.
Like my man was down bad based on vibes alone. Roronoa 'I don't believe in god' Zoro, do you know how it's called when you believe in something wholeheartedly and devote yourself to it without needing any proof?
There's something about Zoro and fate and gods and how he and Luffy feel and understand each other on some other level. Can you see the intensity of Zoro's faith? But it's not blind, because Zoro KNOWS. Can you imagine knowing something like that? Just knowing? Because I'm going insane here.
