Luffy Being Akin To The Sky (sun God), Zoro Being Akin To The Ground (king Of Hell), And Them Meeting

Ughhh... Please don't take his swordsman away from him

techno is in charge of the pizza money when dadza is out

WHY has no one talked about these panels. fuck it its 12 am (at the time of me "finishing" (<- not even close) writing this, its nearly 2 am) im going to talk about them

ahem.

before i get to the Main Point i wanna discuss chils tendency to spiral into his thoughts

like, sure, yeah, he's a reasonable guy. real logical-- but he tends to rush through so many possibilities and in this scene even berates himself for his tiny mistake. every thought in this scene goes so fast to me here, just "snap snap snap, call for help, no thatll attract too much attention- wait is there a switch? crap its too far away- nevermind lets just wait for marcille- but can i trust her with that?? god im so stupid, am i just gonna be trapped here until morning???" and it takes a moment for him to stabilise and snap out of it

like... he even has a little pep talk about it

i guess you could take this as him merely being a quick thinker? but i highly doubt it -- look at this fucking guy.

anyways. hes always got to be eased out of it one way or another, whether that be complainerism (self-explanatory), strategising with another person (that way all the insecure thoughts get pushed to the back in favour of working together), reassuring himself (discussed above) or...

you. could.

distract him.

place a brick wall in front of that zooming train of thought and watch it crash and burn :)

he doesnt even respond in that first pic, by the way. in fact, he doesnt say anything for another 3 (and a bit) pages, and by then the topic has been safely switched (granted those three pages are just marcille and laios making the familiars, but i feel it still stands that there was no response at all, not even visually)

secondly, in that other instance -- see how his eyes go wide as saucers when contact is made? and how they turn into pinpricks once he looks back**? god. and. like.

oh. fuck. ive gottta continue this in a reblog since ive reached the picture limit on mobile -- i am not even a THIRD of a way through all my thoughts on this- we didnt even get to my footnote!! sit tight everyone :)

this is really bad but this was requested by my friend @brokenmindandfallenlies (idk if she changed it) I’m sorry that this is really late! i promise I’m working on stuff and not being lazy! if you have any requests don’t be afraid to ask!

I love how Oda can't move on without matching zolu. Luffy got eye scar? Give one Zoro. Zoro has a scar on his chest that was happened on important moment in his life? Give the same to Luffy. Luffy has haki? It's time for you to get it too Zoro. Oh king of hell? Well here you go Sun God.

I love (and am actively ill over) the fact that ace canonically will not shut up about his lil guy. when jinbe found out ace’s brother was in impel down he was like OHHHHH LUFFY the kid in the strawhats you’re ALWAYS talking about. to luffy’s face he’s like “punk ass” but to everyone else he’s handing out school pictures from his wallet

I love how Zoro most of the time is like "my husbands order," but also when needed becomes the voice of reason for Luffy and its Luffy's turn to be like, "My husband is right"

Sometimes Luffy just wants to sleep hugging Zoro, and Zoro also doesn't want to leave his side even if he has things to do. So they come up with a plan. Zoro goes about his day holding Luffy in his arm and carries him with a satisfied smile.

I think the reason Zoro hit Loki when he first saw him was because he was jealous. Like, think about is. Roronoa “I’m worth 2000” Zoro is a jealous bitch. And I love that for him. He saw Loki chained to that tree, and heard Luffy insisting that Loki was a good guy, and was instantly reminded of when he first met Luffy. He was thinking “I became Luffy’s specialist little guy this exact same way. What if Loki becomes Luffy’s new specialist little guy and he doesn’t need me to be his specialist little guy anymore?” So he immediately got a tummy ache, and getting a tummy ache made him angry so he hit Loki.
