Your gateway to endless inspiration
A modern One Piece Au but Luffy has ehlers danlos syndrome.
He loves to get in fights despite it always ending up with him needing half a pill bottle of Tylenol, five servings of meat, a 4 hour nap, and a joint pushed back in place by Chopper.
Every gang knows him as that ‘stretchy, rubber guy’ because Luffy will purposely stretch his skin out to scare people even though it bruises later.
All of his finishing fighting moves leave him with a dislocated shoulder that Zoro knows how to put back in place after Luffy walked him through it one time with the worst instructions ever.
“Just push it back, quick! I can’t move my arm, c’mon!”
We don’t talk about the reason Zoro was so close to dying during thriller bark.
Like yes, it was for Luffy, he took his place with ease, not even thinking about it because it was luffy. He offered his life differently than Sanji did. Sanji saw Zoro sacrificing himself and Sanji couldn’t allow that because in that moment we saw that in Sanjis mind, he thought replaceable to the crew. (Which obv. Isn’t true).
But Zoro didn’t do it out of a lack of self worth, he saw luffy and couldn’t bear the sight of him gone. Zoro, whether he admits it or not, sees Luffy as something to behold, something that lives above others and shines a light that must be seen by all eyes.
On top of all that, he took all of Luffys pain. Not only did he take it all, he jumped head first into it, despite knowing how it would most likely be the end of him. He quite literally lept into all the pain and suffering Luffy had received without a second thought.
And on top of THAT… Zoro said it was “nothing at all”, not only because to him, it was nothing, what he did in his mind wasn’t something worth mulling over— sacrificing himself for Luffy is “nothing at all”. Also, Zoro knew that if Luffy knew the truth behind his pain, he would never forgive himself for being the reason behind his first mates suffering.
Whether you ship Zoro and Luffy or not, you cannot deny the love, adoration and pure devotion Zoro holds for Luffy.
I’m writing more Zolu and if you’re wondering what the vibe is lemme give y’all a sneak peak at my thought process:
I was listening to Roadkill by Searows and looked over to see some of the dead flowers I’ve preserved and I thought “hmm, I feel like Luffy loves others in the same selfish manner in which we preserve flowers: he loves them too much to ever part with them and even in death he would still find beauty and use in their shape.” Also very inspired by a painting I’m making about a crow eating another dead crow on the side of the road (because is there any other greater act of love and mercy one can show on another in a cruel, mangling death by still giving them one last purpose in life?)
So yeah, luffy Pov all abt his view of death, love, devotion, and Zoro

I’m simple, I listen to a song about non-sexual intimacy and I think of zolu yearnings
This is my contribution to society
sketching Zolu as sacrilegious art is my favorite thing ever I can't wait to add color
“Stop making One Piece gay!”
The whole show is the found family trope
IT CANT GET GAYER THAN THAT.
This is my apology to the One Piece fandom, I said I’d never watch a show that long bc it can’t be that good.
I was wrong.
It is very much in fact good.
how it feels to not like zosan but half of the fandom likes it 💔
