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 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.

Hardly an acceptable reason, there are friends that spend hardly any time with each other and still be closest to each other. IMO people with opposite personalities tend to have best understanding of each other.In most cases at least. They lack mutual understanding despite spending so much time with each other. Once again deep in his heart Usopp holds ill feelings towards Luffy which was proved when they clashed each other for Sunny. So them being closest is highly subjective.

Usopp without a doubt supports Luffy with all his might when the situation arises but Usopp clearly choose to ignore his connection with Luffy and blindly insulted him without a second thought when they tend to have different opinions on something that's precious to Usopp and the vice versa can be said about Luffy as well.He blindly ordered Usopp to leave the crew without even thinking about Usopp's feelings.

Those panels proves that they have better understand of each other than anyone else in the crew. Apart from that Zoro isn't really any special from other crew members from Luffy's prospective.

Next time, read before posting

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
They understand each other more than anyone else in the crew

The Zoro wank is everyhwere even in a thread like this. No wonder tho since it's always the same Zoro boys..

There is no best friend of them. Luffy likes them all equal and would never put one over the other Strawhats. If we go by having more interactions then it would be Usopp, he would be the clostes to his captain. Zoro boys will deny it, but just post panels where he has more interaction with Chopper rather than his captain and they should shut up then.

Your post sounds more like a Zoro hater than someone who's genuinely trying to find faults in others. So rather than trying to act cool by blaming others and making them victims of your own selfish desires ,you should learn to accept that you hate Zoro due to which you can't stand people that are supporting him regardless of whether they're being genuine or not. It's more appropriate than insulting others for no reason.

Regarding your opinion about Usopp being closest to Luffy. You're wrong, he's far from being closest which was proved at W7 during their clash over sunny. Besides spending more time with someone is hardly a reason to call them closest. It just means that they have similar interests. I agree with you on them being equally important to Luffy though.

Why do you even bother replying to someone who dreams days and nights in hating Zoro because he banged his girlfriend? It's always better to ignore such people

No i don't think so all are equal.But if i have to pick i will pick zorro and ussopp
but he is close because he is the first member so he has better understanding
but ussopp is close to zorro.He fought luffy once but that doesn't mean that he is not close to luffy,sometimes fights help in a positive manner for better understanding...

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.
Yes you are right, but where does Kishimoto get the idea? from real life or other writings. Where does Oda get the idea? from real life or other writings. I simply gave you an example of where 2 people who don't spend time together can be the closest. << "other series" has nothing to do with that.

He actually has shown more trust.. lol. Take the mihawk fight for example, and then you have when zoro got "kidnapped".. and luffy said they would be cut in pieces if they had caught zoro. And then they tell Zoro they got luffy and zoro laughs at it. << Trust. And then you have the incident in the train, where luffy showcases trust in Zoro ( Though i don't remember the exact words right now). As far as "showing" goes Zoro and luffy have a strong bond out of the strawhats. This really has nothing to do with being a zoro fanboys or a luffy fanboy. Just talking about 2 people who were the first 2 members of the strawhats and have gone through more as a team than others have, and seem to have a strong bond.

You always claim Zoro is just like anyone else in the crew, but can never actually support the claims with evidence, you can only give small interactions which are nowhere near the amount and the emphasis Zoro interactions have.:p

Yeah, my post to Melodias pretty much suffices as a rebuttal to this.

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.
Dude I said Zoro was nothing special... :|

Much of same can be said about your reasons for putting Usopp as closest to Luffy though.As same spends time by playing around theme can be applied to Chopper just like Usopp. Your argument is hardly different from him. About interactions, Zoro had better movements than any other crew member. You said he had same level of faith in others capabilities but he doesn't which was proved when Sanji went on missing at TB. Luffy said Sanji will be alrigth for the time being. He said that more than once which indicates signs of doubt in Luffy's mind and he was just trying to convince himself to believe that he'll be alright but he never really bothered himself by making such a comment when Zoro went missing a few movements after that which indicates that Luffy blindly trusts Zoro's capabilities. The difference b/w Luffy's trust in others and Zoro is that he thinks they'll somehow manage to survive where as in case of Zoro he thinks he'll definitely kick enemies ass. The difference is marginal but it does exist.

You're blindly wrong when you said other crew members had same level of understanding of Luffy as Zoro. When Luffy went after Enel, Nami tried to go after Luffy to stop him hoping that he'd come back with her where as Zoro upon hearing about Luffy blindly said he won't go back with Nami. There he had better understanding of Luffy than another crew members. Same happened at Jaya when they were beaten by Bellamy's crew. Any crew member other than Zoro would have questioned Luffy about why they should get beaten just like Nami but Zoro didn't because he understands whet Luffy was thinking back then not because he was simply following his order.

But you're right when you said some of these traits can be applied to one or some of other crew members. What makes Zoro different form others is that he had more qualities to be closest to him than other crew members. It's not like Zoro holds more value in Luffy's life though. it simply means they understand each other better than others. In this particular regard Ace takes the cake IMO.

Yes Zoro is the closest to Luffy and next I would say Robin and in my defense for saying Zoro is the vow he made to Luffy after the Hawkeye fight and both kuma fights. Robin is next because she would do anything for Luffy kinda like a older sister or Mom. After Robin is Chopper then Nami, Brook, Sanji, Franky, Then Usopp, In that order. Luffy has the weakest bond with Usopp, he is the only to who constantly question Luffy and has defected from the crew. So I think the goofy play bond is the only thing they have. While Usopp would leave Luffy behind if his life was at stake, Zoro to would give up his life which means his dreams for Luffy without any traceable hesitation
