Making him a Conqueror and a King, but in the meantime someone who as strong and as indipendent as he is still willingly decides to follow someone else, the author showed how great is Zoro's devotion to Luffy.





See? Exactly like Whitebeard wondered how Oden could join him, as he is the kind of guy who leads, not the one who follows others. Also Whitebeard made a reference to the many Conqueror Haki users in Rocks Crew, the same thing to which Kaido will make a reference as well, about how Conqueror Haki users aren't people prone to follow others.



No wonder that then when people see Zoro they immediately think that the swordsman should be the leader of his own crew or the leader of the Strawhat.





But still Zoro prefers to follow Luffy. Why? Very differently from the others, Zoro's strength is extremely close and comparable to his captain's one. Zoro doesn't follow Luffy out of need, like the others, but because of the spontaneous trust that he has in him.
Even if, as already showed, Zoro is the kind of guy who dominates, not the one who follow others. It's just that his devotion to Luffy is that intense. More than a Right Hand Man, more than a First Mate; more like a brother.



That's also why Oda had the two of them share so many parallels: strength, power ups, backgrounds, goals, benchmarks.







Luffy and Zoro is the best duo ever. Captain and Right Hand Man/Number Two/First Mate for life.
Like it or not, the amount of different times and different ways where Zoro is put close to Luffy is gargantuan. The sheer number of those comparisons is astonishing, it screams loud, like the absolute absence of the same closeness between Sanji and Luffy, screams loud as well, but in the opposite way. Even the most biased Sanji fan has to at least admit that...
He its not
Post automatically merged:

Sanji is the WINGS OF THE PIRATE KING AND WITHOUT HIM HE CANT BE BECOME THE PIRATE KING = SANJI VICE CAPTAIN
 
Rayleigh/Benn Beckman = first mate, right hand man, number two, partner, official vice captain

Zoro/Killer = first mate, right hand man, number two, partner, de facto vice captain

Marco/King = first mate, right hand man, number two

Katakuri = number two

Shiryu's status is unclear, out of him clearly being the number two in Blackbeard Pirates
 
I think everyone understands that mate
doesnt change the fact that oda hasnt gone out of his way to make it an official position and as long as that doesnt happen, you arent changing other's opinions.

vice captain , number 2 , and whatever term people like to attach to that role
yes thats zoro in the strawhats.

Sanji = Vice captain confirmed by oda sbs 102
marco is the vice captain like sanji
 
Zoro was always second in command; the crew look for Zoro to lead them, when Luffy is down. They dnt have to call him Vice Capt. Zoro, but hes the Vice Captain. :cheers:
