Seriously Comical

The Strawhat Pirates has eight crew and each of them has their own special ability. From the beginning Luffy searched for his crew members (nakama), he always said that he wants a crew who can do the job that he can’t do. For example: When he needed a navigator, he found Nami. When he needed a shipwright, Franky joined. But he doesn’t always recruit someone who has special ability. He invited Usopp without any reason. He simply let Robin teamed up just because he believed that Robin is a good person, although Robin considered as the most knowledgeable and experienced one (moreover, she’s the only person left who can read the Poneglyphs). Among all the members, I found some of them has the characteristic that make the team solid.
Firstly, I want to talk about Roronoa Zoro. He’s the first person who joined the Strawhat Pirates and unofficially, he has become the vice captain of Strawhat Pirates. Although there’s no straight words come up that he’s the vice captain, his voice and his loyalties to Luffy answered that he is the one who deserve that position.

Zoro’s authority

In these pictures, Zoro shows that his opinion matters. Although at first, Nami and Chopper don’t agree with his decision to leave Usopp. Zoro can explain that quitting the Strawhat Pirates isn’t an easy thing to forgive, and in order to get back Usopp in the team, Usopp needs to apologies of what he has done first. Sanji, Luffy, and the others eventually agree with him. What’s funny about this part is Zoro says , “You know what it means an idiot like Luffy to be called our captain.” while he’s hitting Luffy’s head.

His Loyalty saves The Captain

This part is really beautiful. I don’t know what Luffy has done to them (Zoro and Sanji) to make them put in Luffy’s shoes. Zoro & Sanji was willing to give his life in order to save Luffy. And I think Zoro is deserved to get his name as the title of this chapter: Strawhat Pirates Crew #2: Roronoa Zoro.

That’s all I can say about Zoro and the Strawhat Pirates. I will write about the other members on the next post. Enjoy reading!
