dracule mihawk let zoro live despite it being a death match and decided not to take luffy to garp just for the hell of it. add a few wild cards to the mix to spice things up. he took one look the rag tag group of straw hat pirates and said ‘bless this mess. imma let them marinate’

Zoro: You know that thing you were doing with your mouth just then? Sanji: You mean expressing my opinion? Zoro: Yeah, no more of that.

Imagine, the strawhats encounter sirens while traveling in the Grand Line,

It's your typical "pirates-meet-sirens" too,

Luffy sees meat,

Nami sees money,

Ussop probably sees himself as a great warrior or The Going Merry,

Sanji obviously sees a beautiful woman,

Chopper sees unlimited cotton candy,

Robin sees the crew,

Franky sees Tom or The Thousand Sunny at Raftel,

Brook sees Laboon,

But Zoro,

Zoro sees Luffy.

The crew slowly regains consciousness and help each other snap out of it. Zoro's unable to get away from the hallucination, he just can't stop following Luffy, until the captain himself helps him. Everybody saw that but nobody said anything. Luffy, of course, doesn't notice anything weird about that and carries on with his day. Zoro knows that the crew noticed and are suspicious but he's ignoring it the best he can.

Clueless Luffy Zolu is my weakness :'))

I think what drives me a little crazy (in a good way) about zosan as a ship is - ironically - that they're willing to do the worst possible thing, to sacrifice, for a necessary goal unrelated to their relationship. By that I mean that a common romance trope is an individual being willing to sacrifice the world, anything and anyone else, for their lover, and zosan is...not that. And for some reason that drives me more feral than that other romance trope ever possibly could. I find that more romantic than "I would burn the world for you" and I'll explain why.

The root of their specific willingness to sacrifice isn't a shortage of love or care by any means, but a complete trust and understanding of each other. To the absolute core of who they are. I'm going to refer specifically to that agreement between zosan (that I got spoiled on, so apologies if I get details wrong, I haven't gotten there in the story yet - ALSO spoiler warning if you haven't gotten to around Wano, so click away).

.

.

.

I'm referring to Sanji telling Zoro to kill him if he changes after his stint in Germa, and Zoro agreeing without need for an explanation, telling Sanji to survive until then - that is so fucking romantic to me, and people hold it up as proof that they don't care about each other but to me, it's anything but.

There is a burden of duty to being the wings of the pirate king, and they both take that responsibility seriously. They're both devoted to their captain and to their crew, and to the dreams of their crew. Zoro perhaps more outwardly unwaveringly so, but Sanji is devoted too, different from Zoro but equal in intensity. There are moments when you can TELL they're on the same wavelength, moments where Zoro gives a rare speech on the dynamics of their crew and Sanji is silent because he agrees. Sanji is terrified of hurting his found family, and he's terrified of becoming like his brothers and father. He loves his nakama and so he's willing to sacrifice his own life to prevent from turning into that type of monster.

Zoro is similar. He is willing to die for his nakama, and their dreams. They are in complete understanding of that point. Death itself is not something that scares either of them, there are some things that are worth the price. Potentially for different reasons ahem self worth issues ahem Sanji ahem but that's still something they both understand. Zoro would sacrifice himself in a heartbeat to save Sanji (he already has at Thriller bark), Sanji would do the same (again. Thriller bark), so it's not remotely because they don't care or love each other. They are absolutely willing to give all they are to keep each other from outside harm.

But what happens if the threat to the crew is Sanji himself?

Sanji asks Zoro to be the one to kill him, because Zoro is the only one on the crew who he trusts 100% to do so, to fulfill the promise, who understands. I personally think Luffy would try to save his nakama, even beyond what is possible, at his own detriment. The other crew members would probably do the same (then again I'm still not through the show so feel free to disagree with my interpretation).

But Zoro could do it if it came to that. It would be awful, and it would shatter and change him, irreversibly, heartbreakingly so - I don't agree with people who say Zoro would kill his nakama without hesitation and be fine with it out of loyalty to his captain, Zoro has a heart y'all and he loves his crew - but he could grit his teeth and do it if he realizes it is necessary, that there is no other option. Sanji trusts him to keep his word, to protect the rest of their family. Do you know how telling it is about the level of regard you have for your partner, to trust them to the point where you can easily place the well being of almost all you both treasure into their hands, once you realize you can't be the one to protect it anymore, and know without a shadow of a doubt that it'll be safe as long as it's with them? With knowing they're strong enough to accept the heavy burden of having your blood stain their hands for the rest of their life, the blame for your death on their shoulders, the shadow of you in every single thing they do, inescapable and marking every facet of their life forever? And to trust that they'll not only accept those consequences without hesitation because it's what you asked of them, but will also protect what you both treasure until their last breath, without you even needing to EXPLAIN that that's what you're asking to them to do, because it's the obvious, it's what you've both been doing all this time, it's something you both know so well that no words need to be exchanged, no reassurances need to be given.

And the implication of Sanji wanting Zoro to do this task too, of being okay dying by Zoro's hands because they're equals in every way. Especially since their fighting dynamic is mostly a competitive, I'm stronger than you, I'll never lose to someone as weak as you, blah blah. This is proof that that's not what Sanji and Zoro actually think of each other. Sanji knows that they could kill each other if either of them truly tried for one - wouldn't have asked Zoro to kill him otherwise. Sanji is also fine with Zoro being the one to defeat him. There is an inherent (kinda fucked up) romance to that notion. 'If I have to die, let it be by your hands.'

And on Zoro's part, there's an inherent fucked up romance to keeping your lover close forever because your fingers are stained with the necessity of their blood.

fUCK.

(here is a caveat that I'm viewing this in a scenario where Sanji and Zoro have established that they love each other and are potentially in a relationship. If it's before that you could also flavour it with Sanji's "I love him but I think it's unrequited, actually I think he may hate me, so it would hurt him the least to be the one to kill me" which is JUICY, but just for this post I'm viewing it where they've already established that they're valuable to each other, that they care)

How am I supposed to look at that and not fucking die. It's so much more nuanced and romantic to me personally than "I would burn the world for you" because that trope at its core is a selfish sort of protection. I can 100% see how people find it romantic, don't get me wrong, I'm not judging you if you like that trope, that's so valid. It's "I can't live without you" and "I would choose you above all others" which is romantic, but it's romantic in a different way. Depending on the characters, it's also, I would go to extremes to make sure you're alive, even if there's nothing else left after the carnage except for each other, even if everything else that makes life worth living has been destroyed for survival, and we can only ever rely on each other for the rest of time. I only care about you but not anything else you care about. I won't try to save it, even if you tell me to, even if you want me to, and won't forgive me for all I've done because I can't bear the burden of you not being alive and around anymore.

I get why it's compelling, but that trope could ignore (depending on how it's written) everything else that person could hold dear. Ignores potentially, the agency of the person being protected, a character who could have accepted the consequences and have not wanted the world to burn for their sake, who is strong enough for that burden. And true, maybe the character isn't like that, maybe they just want simply to live a life (valid of them, people are allowed to want happy endings for themselves), but my point is, it's a different archetype of romance for a different archetype of character, but it seems to be more accepted as a romantic trope then zosan's dynamic and I think it shouldn't be that way.

Zosan is the opposite. It suits their character type perfectly. For them, it's "there are things that are worth more than even you and me. I love you, knowing who you are and how you view the world and what other things you value. I love you everyday on purpose, not hopelessly or illogically or blindly, even knowing you may not always choose me. I'm willing to accept the pain of that, just to be next to you. The time we share isn't any less valuable for being fleeting and impermanent. I care about the things you care about and our lives are also worth living because of those things. It would tear me apart irreversibly to hurt you, but I would do it if you asked it of me, I would do it if that's what this life demands of us. I know you can protect what we both love, even if I'm not beside you. I respect your choices. In this, we understand each other perfectly."

THAT is my shit. That's the fucking deranged ass bs that has me staring at my ceiling at 3 am, pacing the floors at 6 in the morning, gnawing on conkcrete like a rabid dog. Brain rot brain rot brain rot.

strawhats my beloveds. It's the way Usopp was happy that Chopper was safe and wasn't the one that got burned. It's the way Sanji cooked that horrible monstrous shark because Luffy wanted to eat it. It's the way Zoro reminded Usopp that it was time for dinner and took his shoes back with him bc Usopp had forgotten them there. It's the way Usopp gave Nami a plate of food, and then Robin gave Chopper one. The found family to ever found family.

could you plsss do the straw hats reactions to reader (who’s always worn a mask) revealing her face for the first time & everyone seeing how beautiful she is?! 😭 tysm if you end up doing this 😭🫶🏼

✩༄  headcanons ,  with a crewmate who reveals their face for the first time !

☆ — characters! . . . the straw hats.

☆ — cw(s)! . . . platonic. implied fem!reader. no pronouns used. not proofread.

☆ — notes! . . . thank you so much for requesting !! <3333

the straw hats respect your privacy and boundaries. you don't owe an explanation for why you wear a mask, and they would never ask that of you if you weren't comfortable

there have been moments where they have even covered their eyes or left the room, so can you can be comfortable

all of them were curious as to what you looked like underneath the mask. some are more normal than others in their curiosity about your appearance

guessing what your hair looked like, or if you had hair at all stuffed effortlessly into your mask. wondering what color were your eyes. what your smile looked like

each of them has a different image of what you look like in their head

except for zoro and jinbei, who have both become so used to seeing and talking to you with the mask on, it's become all they can picture

nami's image of you is not clear. she'll look at the rest of you and try to create an image of your face, but it's always blurry

chopper, luffy, usopp, and robin all have drawn up a picture for you to see what they picture when they see you. even though luffy and chopper both drew monsters...it was fun to see what they envisioned when they spoke to you

brook chose usopp's drawing of you for what he imagined you to look like because it was the best drawing out of the four.

franky definitely thinks you've got some kind of crazy injury or scar going on that you don't like to show people. sometimes you'll catch him staring at you as if he's trying to see through your mask

there's not a second that goes by where sanji is not thinking about what you look like under your mask

so many different images show up in his head at once, he sees a different version of you every time he talks to you

when the time finally comes that you feel comfortable enough to take off your mask in front of them, they were excited !! [ only after they asked you a million times if you were really sure ]

they are eagerly waiting on the edge of their seats, as you reach for the bottom of your mask

when you finally uncover yourself completely, you notice a brief silence. it worries you

but the second sanji dropped to the ground with a hard thud with hearts in his eyes, you knew you were pretty much in the clear

you were nothing like they expected, way prettier than they expected. they all shower you with compliments. even luffy complimented you...in his own special way. "woah! you're not a monster under there!"

he's trying...

it takes them a while to get used to seeing your face. you'll sometimes see them do a double-take to make sure you're actually you when your mask is off

the vibe luffy and zoro’s relationship gives off is someone asking “are they………you know?” and the crew huddles together whispering and gesturing wildly / bring out a spreadsheet just to turn around and go “we don’t know” while the two dumbasses in question are in a argument about a bug they saw

Sanji: Your quite soft for being a swords man. Zoro: Excuse me? I'm not soft I'm a dangerous killer. *Chopper hopping around* Chopper: Zoro, Zorin. I made you a shells collar. Sanji: Oh, real though guy, moss head. Now I see it. Chopper: He keeps losing them. Zoro: Thanks kid. *Chopper leaves* Sanji: Softie. Zoro: Shut up.
