General & Others Understanding that some things are exclusive to Luffy and Zoro in the Strawhat crew.

You guys forgetting, Luffy and Zoro are the true embodiment of Oda. They're the characters Oda started of in his mangaka career (see his old oneshot).

Oda loves Zoro so much, this is why One Piece features heavily of a big name + 1 right hand man concept. Not 1 character + 2 assistants. Or 1 character solo.

But 1 character + 1 important companion. Even the last color spread is solely dedicated to these "1 important companion" who gets screentime more often.
Right Hand men hold a lot of Value in this story. Oda goes out of his way to highlight them.
