Considering they're not actually brothers and simply swore an oath, they're very close friends
I think its pretty clear Zoro and Luffy have a bond different to the the other strawhats he is the first cremate for a reason Oda makes no mistakes. Also Luffy is confident in Zoro's abilities above all the other straw hats. Luffy see's someone strong and Zoro says he will handle luffy says "I knw he wont lose Zoro is strong" .
I won't say best friend. The closest to his best friend is maybe Usopp. They have the strongest partnership though, a captain/vice-captain relationship, hence he is the one supporting him in his role as the captain of the ship, more than anyone else
He's the closest to him for sure. I mean he's the one that understands him the most and most loyal to him when compared to other crew members. And for Luffy, he holds same level of value for all of them but holds more faith in Zoro's strength than he does in case of others.
A part from playing around with Luffy, Usopp holds no trait to be considered as Luffy's best friend. In fact he's the one that failed to understand Luffy's feelings in case of Sunny and vice versa. Usopp went ahead and even insulted Luffy by implying that he won't follow someone like Luffy or something along these lines. True feelings would come out during this kind of fights in other words deep inside his heart Usopp holds some kind of ill feelings towards Luffy. Same goes for Luffy, he tried to expel him from crew without a second thought just because he went against his decision.
So I am not sure about how they can be best friends without having obvious understanding of each others feelings.

I think these have become my favorite kind of posts in the OP section. People defining Zoro's and Luffy's relationship as special, or just Zoro as special in any regard, with traits that can be applied to either one or all of the other Strawhats. Just amusingly prevalent.

Yea pretty much. But not exactly "Bestfriend"... but would say something like the "closest " friend.
Can't wait to see a moment from Zoro like how Rayleigh had with him remembering Roger and him meeting for the first time.

The main reason I'd say he's closest with Usopp is because we actually see Luffy and Usopp together. They interact outside of battle or getting on a new island. Usopp is the one he spends the most time with and interacts the most with, so he's the one he's gonna be closest to.

I have only seen them "goof around". Plus, Zoro has been pretty much there for everything since the start.
I mean Sasuke was the "closest" to Naruto despite hardly spending time with him.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA you're using the shit poor relationship development of Naruto to justify the relationship development in a completely different show? Cut the shit.

"shit poor relationship".. not really, you just couldn't understand their relationship. Was pretty simple to understand but oh well.
And "different show" really has nothing to do with relationships that are based on reality. But oh well on this also.
But hey to claim 2 people are close because they have shown to goof around the most isn't quite showing justification for your claim. "close" is about understanding and trust.. which Zoro and Luffy have shown to share the most. (now please don't go on a whole speech about "equality" and luffy treating everyone the same. Because this is about what has been shown, and as far as showcasing goes Zoro and luffy have had more. )

I wasn't talking about their relationship specifically, but the development of relationships in general in the series are subpar at best.
No, different show does matter. Different shows, different styles, different intentions of the authors. You can't go "Well Kishi does this with his writing, so Oda may be doing the same."
It's not just about goofing around, it's about interacting with. Zoro hasn't shown any more understanding of Luffy than any of the other Strawhats, and Luffy hasn't shown more trust in Zoro than he has any of the other Strawhats. He spends the most time with Usopp, which means more bonding than with someone who barely speaks to you and spends most of his time training in isolation or asleep.
Lmao why do people always try to deny everything Zoro related?
Zoro is the one who understand and support Luffy the most in the crew and vice-verse. You'd have to be fucking stupid or completely blind to not see this

The page with Burgess/Luffy and Zoro's reaction means absolutely nothing in terms of their bond. They are both simply people who enjoy fighting, so when they hear about someone who is supposed to be a fighting champion, their first instinct is to fight. Luffy and Law has the exact same reaction when Kidd told them he'd fight in their stead, I suppose they were best friends in Sabaody too, eh?
Luffy and Zoro scoffing at the idea that the other was defeated isn't special either. "Luffy won't die."-Usopp in Alabasta Arc. The fact that Luffy lets the others go off and fight on their own is proof enough that he has the same faith in them that he does Zoro.[

] All of the Strawhats have faith in each others' abilities. Zoro is not special in this regard.Zoro listening to Luffy and not fighting back is nothing more than the obedience they all have for their captain. I shouldn't have to find scans to support that they follow Luffy, but if you need, click that first X again and read what Robin says.
