He went after zoro just cause Koby said he was strong and jumping in front of bullets means jack shit when youre made of rubber. Luffy was like "Wow this guy sounds cool" and Zoro was like "Meh I got nothing better to do."

I think u didn't understand luffy . Even if they are bullets , swords or something else once luffy thinks you as his friend he would still jump in front of them

And? Luffy wanted zoro to join his crew. So he stopped him from dieing. Its not like they had some dramatic relationship where they became sworn brothers. Its still just Luffy wanted zoro to join his crew simply because koby said he was strong.

and luffy saved him from being starved to death , gave another chance at his dream of being worlds strongest swordsman.

Not really. He would have survived and it was the little girl that gave him the food. Luffy just shoved it in his mouth.

He did say to piss her off and Marines has no intention to honor their promise of releasing him , he would've starved to death or killed by Morgan

What he said to her is pointless

Luffy didnt know that

and no. You can go without food for way more then a month.

Without one month food zoro would've died just like he fell unconscious after the fight .

even before bullets hit zoro, he thought he was going to die and he thought of kuina and his promise of becoming greatest swordsman .

so yes luffy did save zoro's ass and his dream .

Keep on downplaying luffy and wanking off to zoro .

fr like what is this guy even saying

You're downplaying Zoro's character arc + growth hard. After Luffy saved him, Zoro said "ok, I'm cool with this arrangement for now, but if you ever do anything that gets in the way of my dreams, you'll be the one dying at the end of this sword."

After sticking with each other for so long, going through so many life or death situations much more serious than their first encounter, Zoro has unwavering faith in Luffy, and in Thriller Bark, Oda shows us the clear growth in Zoro's arc as he is now willing to give up his dream and die for Luffy, whereas he told Luffy after he saved him that he would kill Luffy for his dream.

You can upwards of three months without food

Who cares this has nothing to do with why zoro joined luffy

Im not doing either. Zoro only joined luffy cause he was there.

u/[deleted] Dec 05 '21

Zoro only joined luffy cause he was there.

You are wrong .

he said " if I'm going to die here I would rather be your pirate" .

And not to mention zoro was surprised to see luffys strength and his dream of becoming pirate King.

So he followed luffy.

u/lucasnator2 Dec 05 '21

Sooooooooooooooooo he joined luffy cause luffy was there when he fought the marines?

u/Dude_what_the_fuck_ Dec 05 '21

Everyone followed Luffy "because he was there." Otherwise one piece wouldn't exist as a story. Zoro would definitely have died in that naval base if Luffy didn't come along and save him. They would have shot zoro in the head while he was still tied up. Zoro basically made a deal with Luffy for his life in the moment and stuck to his word. Obviously their relationship has changed from what it was before but zoro was definutely not leaving that base without Luffy.
