sketching Zolu as sacrilegious art is my favorite thing ever I can't wait to add color
“Stop making One Piece gay!”
The whole show is the found family trope
IT CANT GET GAYER THAN THAT.
This is my apology to the One Piece fandom, I said I’d never watch a show that long bc it can’t be that good.
I was wrong.
It is very much in fact good.

When the Zosabo strikes
If Zoro ever defeats Mihawk…
Ps - Mihawk is depicted as Zoro’s father figure in this text
(Not proofread)
Non-canon but…
I think when Zoro kills Mihawk in their final duel, it would be a state where he finally achieves his dream that he worked on so hard for him to be happy, yet to feel a little empty at the same time. I’d have to agree that if Zoro does kill Mihawk, he’d achieve his dream, fulfill his promise to Kuina, and put Mihawk at rest, which gives a happy ending for him, honor for his late best friend, and rest for Mihawk since he’s grown tired of life.
Though, in the lens of how I view Zoro and Mihawk’s relationship, I truly believe, from my heart of hearts, that Mihawk was somehow a parental figure to Zoro. Other viewers of One Piece might not see the vision or see the vision. In some people’s eyes, Mihawk was only Zoro’s mentor and rival, which is of course true, I am not against it, but how I view them might be a different story.
Zoro was already orphaned, he had no parental figures since both of his biological parents died when he was still very young, meaning he probably does not have much memory of them and wasn’t guided in life as much because of that. He had no parental guidance in life.
Now, during the timeskip, Mihawk played a crucial role in developing Zoro’s swordsmanship. He has provided and taken Zoro under his care to train him to defeat him all because he saw that Zoro’s actions were no longer for himself, but for his captain, that “he found a greater cause rather than his own ambition”. Surely, he isn’t the type of father figure that would coddle up Zoro and be soft around him since he plays mentor, he is supposed to make him reach a better version of himself. Though, I see the potential and why some may think he is a father figure to Zoro.
A parental figure is someone who gives guidance, care, support, etc. that resembles an absent parent’s role. Mihawk gives these to Zoro for the two years in the timeskip, he is a role model to Zoro and he teaches and guides Zoro to defeat him. Zoro, an orphan, being taken care of and taught by the world’s greatest swordsman himself. Living in his castle. Eating his food. Under his care. For two years. For once, other than the strawhats, Zoro has been taken care of, under none other than Mihawk. The castle is a training ground yet a house to him. Where he eats, showers(? Considering Mihawk’s toilet…), and sleeps, he is doing it in the same grounds where Mihawk is.
Do you think that maybe, if Zoro had killed his mentor, the one who saved his own seat of the worlds greatest swordsman for Zoro to sit on next, the one who cooked, gave him a house to live on for the next two years when he was separated from his crew, that he wouldn’t be a little sad and empty? Mihawk wouldn’t exactly be the best father figure unlike some others, but he would definitely be a memorable one to Zoro, all because the worlds greatest decided to be his mentor and care for him slightly like a father would.
So when Zoro finally sees Mihawk’s head roll before him, I would like to think that he would feel free and happy he achieved his goal, and a little empty, where he finally acknowledges that in a way, he did see him as a mentor-father type of person in his life.
This is overall subjective and what if statements which isn’t well supported, but I just wanted to share what I thought:,,)
Credits to its only blood by MissingN000 on ao3 (heartbreaking fic), it helped me write this.
just another trope I'd like to see more of.
feral person A with leash holder person B, except, hear me out, it's not in the 'i own you' or 'i control you' kinda way.
it's in the way where person B is fully aware of how feral person A is...and simply shows them who to direct it on, gives them something to protect, gives them a target, the leash is just for show, just to let people know where the demon person A was sent from.
imagine in a fight or something and person A is holding back either not fighting and being somewhere else or not fighting at their full ability, only to get a nod from person B and everyone just goes "oh...shit" and person A is just like a switch, the leash has been dropped but in all honesty the leash was just there for show, for person A to find their way back like some giant bloodthirsty cat dropping off their prey proudly. and person B? you'd expect them to give person A a telling off, a lesson on morals at least...but no, they pat A's head proudly and praise them, tell them that they did such a good job
"look at you! you only killed five of the guys we needed alive!"
Everyone be lookin at person B like ' bitch get yo dawg' while person B is actively encouraging person A to be even more feral. (they probs think it's hot)
something about the early animations of zoro was just 👌
i prefer it so much and idk why, like both are cool but yk...he be cooler. maybe it's just the art style
especially in skypeia, that was my fave version of zoro. the tank top and goggles were a dangerous mix

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE GREATEST SWORDSMAN AND BEST FIRST MATE
(All images and references can be found on pintrest)
I loved all the failed plans so much 😭
Everyone keeps saying Zoro isn’t goofy after the time skip but boy just pulled this out of his ass and HE’S SO PROUD OF HIMSELF
Is it odd to say I sometimes struggle to place exactly how I think of Zoro and Chopper's relationship?
Some people say they're like father and son, whilst others say they're more like siblings, but I feel like I'm in some weird no-man's-land where neither title really matches up.
It's like Zoro's an older brother who was forced to look after his younger brother, Chopper, in the place of absent parents, and is the closest thing to being a father whilst simultaneously absolutely unable to act like an 'actual' parent should due to being completely inexperienced and too young to fulfill that role properly.
I hope I articulated that properly because I don't even know at this point, I just want to hear if anyone else feels like this 😭
