The One About Law and Zoro
LawZo, ZoLaw,,, there's so just much to say about them
Okay, so I've talked about Zoro (saying WAY to much oops) and Law (I swear to god, I hope those links work)
These two seemingly cool and smart and put-together swordsmen, who in reality are just complete dumbasses of the slightly petty variety (Law) and the you-must-have-guardian-angel-watching-you-because-seriously-how-are-you-not-dead-yet variety (Zoro... actually, both of them, technically, but Zoro in the dummy sort of way, like damn, stop putting yourself in such situations. Or do, I guess, whatever, character and all that, plus I'm having fun hehe >:) anyway)...
Honestly, they drive me insane... every time they're together, I just...
Tumblr media
Okay, sorry, sorry.
Anyway, the world's quickest summary of the first two posts:
Zoro -> requires trust, protective instinct (to protect himself (emotionally) and others)
Law -> fueled by spite, protective of others
Now right off the bat there's a lovely little parallel here and that is Zoro and Law both being very protective of those they love. Neither one is going to protect themselves, but each other... >:)
(Like legitimately, if they were together, talk about "to the ends of the earth" hehe)
The one issue to this little coin of familiarity I've placed them on is in how they differ. Zoro has an absolute need for trust, because he needs people to rely on him. He needs to be able to protect the people he loves and needs those people to know that he can protect them. He needs absolute transparency and trust, and when he doesn't get it, he pushes them away (at least verbally, he tries to tell himself he doesn't care) in a bid to protect himself.
And Law (the dummy /affectionate) in comparison pushes away those he loves in the hopes of protecting them instead of letting them in on what is happening.
Basically, those two would be so insanely dedicated to each other... and by god would a fall out be insane (now that's an idea) (also not that either of then would show that dedication, they're both quite reserved/stoic, haha)
(Sorry, but it's just so interesting, like, if they were together, and Law did one of those self-sacrificial going off on my own things, like how would Zoro react to that?? Zoro dedicates himself so wholly to people, would he try to shut himself out, just "accepting" it?? Would he forgive in the aftermath? (I feel like yes, given his track record, for all that he holds on to goals, he doesn't seem to really hold grudges at least against those he loves?) To what extent? What would the relationship look like in the aftermath of that... okay I'm like two seconds away from closing this and writing a fic, I need to stop)
Anyway, anyway, they just fit so well together. The same (surface) laid-back attitude (and absolutely insane underneath), the same protective drive, Zoro and his loyalty (fitting just perfectly with how loyal the Heart Pirates are...), if Law is surprisingly bloodthirsty, actually and I don't think it really needs to be explained that Zoro is as well
(Cursed swords, swordsmen, earrings, the fact that Law calls Zoro, Zoro-ya, like fuck off seriously, my poor heart)
They really do complement each other so well T-T
(No, actually, who approved the Zoro-ya, who, please, why, why, are you trying to kill me 😭🫠)

The voting is over!
A huge thank you for everyone who 1) sent in suggestions for the themes and also for 2) voting. A total of 34 votes!!
Another special thank you to everyone who answered why they ship FRobin! It's always good to remember why we all love this ship so much!
Another shoutout to @pokeharvest for creating the graphics!
Keep your eyes open for the themes!
Why do you ship FRobin?
"your existence is not a sin" and he won my and Robin's heart 🤌
it started in december 2021 as a joke with my bf who wanted zoro to be with robin and when I saw that scene in Water 7/Enies Lobby of them on the sea train I was like "honey I tell you Robin would choose to fuck that guy over zoro any day" and then we both noticed how much chemistry they both actually had. At some point we were both looking at each other and the tv back and forth being like "did you fucking see that" and I literally squaked when the CBT scene happened. So yeah I started shipping them to annoy my bf and I got really hooked by them because of their chemistry, the way they are pretty much opposites personality-wise but share a pretty specific experience to bond deeply, the way Franky reminds Robin of Saul with his words and actions and how that makes her reflect on her life and think of him as a treasure, how they both relate to the other strawhats as their parents, how they know each other so well they can basically predict what the other one is going to say, how he's always close to her and they're both the first ones to protect each other, how even the animators in TOEI ship them so much that they add in little scenes to make situations a bit more romantic (also! knowing that Oda did personally add things in the anime that were not in the manga because he didn't have time or because he forgot makes me wonder how much of those anime frobin scenes were just TOEI animators being silly and goofy or Oda being like "yeah I do kinda like a little romance"), and the way they feel so, so real. I just love them so much -I'm pretty obsessed ngl- and it is a ship that brings me so much joy. also I love frobin because they're basically canon but not technically so yeah I can actually win silly debates online and feel like the best of the worst type of people online lol
Because they are super!
They understand each other on a level no one else does and Franky didn't hesitate to say that she deserves to live during the sea train arc
They are perfect
It's more of a causal thing. I love the content that other creators make of this ship, some of is so cute and soft that how can you NOT like it? Plus Nico Robin deserves to have good things in her life.
Honestly I just love them. I fell out of love with One Piece but they keep me coming back. They're wholesome and good and bonkers and amazing. Overall completely underappreciated!
I love the smart goofball and smart goth dynamic. She's always tired of his shit, but is always amused. He's madly in love and in awe of her brilliance. I also like the idea that they could be romantic, platonic, or kinky.
I just think they are so very in love and nothing could convince me otherwise
I ship frobin because of their dynamic during enies, thriller bark , and they are just cute overall love the idea of them as a couple.
Me encantan como pareja 😍

For that little prompt thing, "Everything time you talk I get closer to prison." (I promise this isn't one piece related)
send me a made-up fic title and i'll tell you what i would write to go with it
oooh boy. you say it's not one piece related, and yet this reads like a hatefic to me; the "going to prison" implying "if you don't stop fucking talking I'm Going to kill you" (which is 90% of the Zosan vibes in literally all versions of them)
So. it might not actively be a ROMANTIC fic of the two of them, but it definitely would be exploring the relationship between them. Communication, or lack thereof, or the verbal gratingness between them. Because honestly, when they're not talking? When they're doing the Things That Need To Be Done? they get along. it's when they start sniping at each other verbally that it devolves into an all-out fight.
could get into the wordless communication that develops between teammates, especially front-line fighters like they are. If you have to wait for someone to tell you to duck down so they can kick over you, not only might you miss the sound in the heat of battle, but they're losing the element of surprise on the enemy (if the enemy is smart) AND could even miss the window. But if you can just see their leg tense and judge the angle, and they can see you shift your stance to brace low, you can move in tandem without saying a word.
So basically a story about how Zoro and Sanji get along just fine as long as neither of them is saying anything.

I have been thinking about the strawhats, and I think that, yeah, they're all neurodivergent. But I also think not everyone is autistic/adhd.
- Luffy is ADHD, because of course, but the thing that I hesitate to call him is autistic. The way he can just see what's bubbling under the surface with every one of his crewmates is incredible, and likely comes from a natural understanding of other people's emotions. I do believe he has a degree of face blindness, though.
-Zoro: I think he has innatentive ADHD, which has some overlap with autism. He shares a lot of traits with Luffy, but his symptoms are not as readily apparent because he's got this outer coldness to him. He is also dyspraxic and/or dyslexic, it manifests with his horrid sense of direction, and I think it has probably contributed to him developing obsessive tendencies in his training.
-Nami: Trauma, trauma, trauma. I also think she has ASPD tendencies or, like, low empathy at the very least. ASPD is triggered by trauma, after all. She is manipulative and sometimes has unhealthy ways of expressing her love, such as assuming debt=person I like is not going to abandon me. She stole everyone's wallets at the end of the Arlong saga, of people who had helped her and loved her, because of that fear of owing anything. But the strawhats wouldn't have gone far without her, and she is an essential member of the crew.
-Ussop: I don't think he's a compulsive liar. I think his lies always have a purpose, and it is to enhance reality and himself. He's highly creative, highly sensitive and very much a sweetheart. He's the HSP type of autistic, the type that loves an inanimate object so much that it becomes alive.
-Sanji: there's entire videos about his trauma. CPTSD all the way. But before that, he might have had the same autism as Ussop, or at least just a high empathy profile, because he was out there baking a cake for mice as a five year old. Which makes his backstory even more tragic.
-Chopper started out as a reindeer, and reindeers have no complex thoughts, or at least not as complex as humans. He can't be measured in the same way you would a human, because he is in fact, a reindeer. With that said, he endured a lot of trauma.
-Robin: autism and CPTSD. Even before she got chased by the world government, she purposefully chose to hang out with academics and became fluent in a highly specialized language that was only spoken by a handful of people. She says everything in a matter-of-fact way. She doesn't care about masking, she cares about the rules she has made for herself. If Luffy names someone "pineapple man" she is going to name him that, because Luffy said so, and Luffy is her captain so she should abide by his naming conventions. She might also be the smartest one in the group, at least books smarts wise.
-Franky. The man is powered by cola. He chose to become more and more of a cyborg in his love for machinery and weaponry. AuDHD.
-Brook: that man has been alone for fifty years. He sees himself everyday, turned into a literal skeleton of his former self. We never see him as a child, so I don't really have a full picture of whether he had autism or what, but like... He's a pirate musician. Wanna know what kind of pirate goes into music? The type " who never ever learned to read or write so well/But he could play a guitar just like a-ringin' a bell" which basically means dyslexic/dyscalculic ADHDers with a good ear for music.
Edit: I meant Nami had ASPD, not ASD

Yeah, the only way I can see Zoro becoming a Captain is if Luffy specifically orders Zoro to become one.
One of my very earliest story ideas set in the world of One Piece - for serious, I was but a wee infant fan barely able to toddle to her phone and then be immediately insulted by the lack of Zoro/Mihawk - actually delt in this "trope". [I was also set pre-Skypiea, so at this point I had still mostly seen the filler arches and let me say.... Skyiea did very little to change my opinion on that matter.]
In basic terms, the idea involved the Strawhats forced to sail through this series of closely linked islands, each with their own little societies of very gossipy but very different - at least in the native's opinions - cultures/morals/cuisine/whatever (alternative they could have just been rural populations of very dedicated bounty hunters; we're talking backwater enough that they would have been shocked to hear that whippersnapper Shanks made captain much less Yonko).
You would think such a place would be paradise for pirates on the run, but the truth is, these Islanders may rarely get flooded with new bounty posters of Wanted Men (and Women, and Fish-people and Mers and Minks and listen these people don't discriminate against a criminal with a price on their head) but that hardly stopped them making and spreading their own their through little archipelago whenever a clear threat was so spotted.
Look, it wasn't Luffy's fault he may have accidentally on purpose destroyed this town's entire floating fishery and aqua garden - the only one they had available in their rather unreasonable mountainous winter island habitat - but on top of the wanted poster someone finds stuffed in his back pocket, it spells death.
Luckily, they do have Robin around at this time, and she knows just enough about these islands, peoples and customs to have just the solution.
Make Chopper-San captain! After all, who would expect such a brilliant, caring doctor to be a horrible, criminal pirate captain!
Arg, Robin-san you idiot! You can't make him happy just by saying he'd be such a good doctor captain!
Surprisingly, it's not Nami who takes issue; she may not trust Robin like "the boys" (because she "has boobs and funny powers" *sigh*) because she Also recognizes that Robin is, like her, a smart surviver, and that she is willing to support (well at least until it becomes dangerous and let advantageous). So Nami's vote goes to Robin's plan: have Chopper act as captain until they're safely out of these crazy waters. Of course, as the plan came from the intelligent Robin-swan and has the approval of the beautiful Nami-chan, Sanji wouldn't say a bad word against it, but you can tell in the way he eyes the horizon he's preparing himself for the inevitable trouble.
Then of course, there's the matter of convincing Luffy who,
"Hmm? You mean like playing pirates! Oh, I call captain!"
"Luffy, you can't be captain, the whole point is that Chopper has to be captain so they don't come after us like that again!"
"Hmm? Okay, well then I want to be......Oh! I know-"
And just like that he runs off to get whatever supplies he needs to "play pirate", leaving a cheerful crew (and one very happy reindeer, currently beaming as Robin fits him with his own little captain hat and Usopp takes out an old bit of sail, asking what he wants his Jolly Roger to look like.)
The only one completely unamused is, of course, Zoro is against it on principle (even though he thinks Chopper looks sweet as a baby angel in his captain's hat, I mean just look at their doc!) Oye, where's she get off, telling the crew who their captain is!? What is that women even on about? Zoro and the Merry only have one captain and they can't just go changing that on her whims! If they get to the next island and people are still pissed, just let him and Luffy fight them off! That's what THEY do on the crew!
But it's too late, Luffy likes the sound of this game, so from now until after the next island they're officially the Cotton Candy Pirates!
Tumblr media
But of course at each island something goes wrong and in a panic they switch to another captain.
Each rotating Captain gets the whole expierence:
☠️ Naming and "recruiting" a crew, though that last one is more just assigning everyone a roles (Luffy insists it's absolutely necessary for any pirate captain, even only a temporary pretend one; though sometimes it's a necessary swap when the townspeople ask why their doctor looks so much like that doctor pirate captain they just heard of from the last island.)
☠️ Their own Captain's hat, of course, and sometimes the full Captainly ensemble to match (don't ask from where, from the same jumbled pile of clothes they pull all their other outfits, okay?)
☠️ A new flag adorned with their own Jolly Roger (courtesy of Usopp)
☠️ A banner on the side of the Merry (again, Usopp, with some help from Chopper and Robin) with their new crew name, just to make it clear they aren't the Strawhats.
☠️ Something inevitably go horribly wrong, forcing another quick disguise change for themselves and Merry before the next Island.
In case you're wondering.... (You weren't, but you're gonna suffer through it.)
Tumblr media
Chopper takes his role very serious, which means he has lot of fun since he basically gets to play pirates with his best friends! Usopp makes him a flag, Robin finds him an awesome costume, Sanji calls him "Doctor Captain-san" - Usopp said his name should have been scarier but Chopper didn't want any of the kids to get scared of doctors even though they only had to stay on this Island for six hours for the log pose to reset - and gets him a sweet whenever he asks (except when Nami, who claims she is playing the ship's OTHER doctor, says that he will give himself a tummy ache). Luffy beats around on a bunch of pots and pans which the others hate but he says he has to because he's the musician and that all pirate crews have a musician (Chopper wonders why they don't have a musician, but he doesn't think to ask at the time). Since Usopp offers to be the new navigator Chopper asks Robin to be his first mate, and then asks Zoro please if he wouldn't mind being the crew's army fighter protector, since he's the strongest person Chopper knows. He doesn't play with them very much but he does smile just a little when Chopper asks so Chopper thinks he's a pretty good captain!
That is until he talks to some poor weak looking lions that are all beat up and come sniffing around the ship for scraps. He tries to give them some medicine, but the town folk don't like that at all. They have to leave really quick, but as Captain, Chopper decides they're taking the lions with them to the next Island, where hopefully they'll be safer!
Tumblr media
Usopp goes next because, well, he's the one who convinces the next island that of course they aren't those cowardly, evil Cotton Candy Pirates! Haven't they heard of the great Usopp Pirates before, led by the famous captain Sniper Warrior Of The Giants Kyoyūshi Usopp! In fact, these are lions they recently saved from some totally different terrible pirates the, Errr, Strawhats, who you probably haven't heard and certainly don't need to worry about, not after Usopp took care of them! They had been abusing these poor, sick lions and forcing them to go to towns and scare people or they would be beaten and starved.
Fortunately, Usopp happens to have world famous linguist on his crew, Chop-Chop. After he ate the Tenuki no mi, he can even talk with animals, and so Usopp gives the people his solemn word as the strongest, most trustworthy captain in all the seas these lions won't hurt anyone in the town. Indeed, they've promised to work alongside you fine citizens while hunting and even guarding you from pirates, just so long as you promise to share some of what they hunt and don't beat them or chase off their young! Their doctor, uh, Mizzie Sunday, has plenty of experience as a veterinarian as well. She'll be happy, with Chop-Chop's assistance, to help get both lions and people set up and comfortable with this prosperous new alliance!
Yes, it's true, Usopp's crew is quite amazing! You should meet, um, Cat! She may look pretty and sweet but actually she's one of the most fearsome swordsmen of all times! Huh? Oh, well, she often makes him hold her swords, so she can decide which one is best depending on the battle. That's how amazing she is! And she trusts Zo-Ro-Zo because as their cook he is excellent with knife care! Oh, this is his first mate and trust advisor Yonji - eh? Haha, right now he forgot you hate telling people your first name! (Why would Sanji hate the name Yonji so much? What did Usopp say?) They simply call him, The, uh, Heart Breaker, for the wherever he goes women fall over themselves, helpless at their charm!
And finally of course, this is our bard, the man in charge of chronicling my many amazing and legendary deeds! We call him Monkey but he has many names, they say no one has yet to know them all!
So if you could just do us a favor and -
Usopp spent most of the next four days talking. Of course they ended up in trouble by the end!
I could go through each and every one one of these crews but let's just say when it gets to Zoro it goes something like this.
Tumblr media
Zoro: So... I'm the captain, now?
Sanji: *trying not to look nervous after what he had Zoro do*
Chopper & Usopp: *jump to attention*
Robin: Yes, Captain-san, we await your orders. *Smile*
Luffy: *lies on his favorite spot, watching Zoro curiously*
Zoro: *Nods, seriously* Good.
Zoro: Oye! Luffy, get your ass own here!
Zoro: I'm making Luffy captain. *Throws Luffy the ridiculous cape Usopp had given him* And since I'm captain no one can do a damn thing about it. *Stocks off to go get in a much needed nap until Luffy inevitably causes a fight to break out*
The End
