Many have been discussing what would happen if Zoro died before Luffy became the Pirate King or, simply, if he died before Luffy, but let me bring up an idea:
What if Luffy died before becoming the Pirate King and fulfilling his dream? What if Zoro fulfilled his dream of being the greatest swordsman but without his captain by his side?
Can you imagine the pain, the anger, the sadness he would have to carry? Once he fulfilled his promise to his captain and his best friend, what is left for him? What is his purpose?
Then, one day, he hears rumors, about a new pirates willing to find the One Piece and finish what Luffy couldn't. What would be his reaction? Apathy? Sadness? Or maybe, just maybe, it would be rage.
It would be the converted pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro, the demon, the king of hell. The one who seeks out those naive people who dare to go for the One Piece and finish them off.
If his captain, if Luffy, could not be king of the pirates, no one else would ever be.

spicy food - how well is each of the love interests spice tolerance?
any love interest where even the slightest lick of spice will kill them like dropping a tungsten dumbell on a hamster, or is there a love interest that eats spicy food so much that their tongue could withstand a nuclear bomb?
✦ Amon: Loves spicy food, eats it a lot, and can withstand a nuclear bomb (loved the comparison)
✦ Raeya: She has good tolerance, but doesn't enjoy spicy food that much. Just why would you like to suffer while eating?!
✦ Gael: Oh no. Oh nononono. No. Just get that away from him.
✦ Envy: Has little tolerance, but enjoys spicy food from time to time.
✦ Ara: Medium tolerance, but she's kind of a masochist that way so she'd try every spicy food available and then regret it immensely
✦ Xal: Right behind Amon, can withstand what most people can't, and likes spicy food very much!
✦ Father Pride: Doesn't have much tolerance and doesn't like spicy food, so a win win for him anyways
✦ Lázaro: Meh, they can get by. Not a huge fan of spicy food, but can enjoy it here and there!
✦ Cécile: His tongue is practically stone so he could eat whatever—not that he can feel the spiciness. So it doesn't count.
Which pets would the LIs have?
✦ Amon: Dog! He does have a dog, actually. You'll meet him on his route :^)
✦ Raeya: She really likes horses so maybe...a horse? Or more than one horse?
✦ Gael: A rabbit!
✦ Envy: A lizard, or...sigh, yes, a snake
✦ Ara: Has a goose (and more barn animals) so it's safe to say she wants to have ALL OF THEM. Has always wanted to have a huuuuge pet rat, though...
✦ Xal: Has a cat (Fridge), but he has always wanted a ferret!
✦ Father Pride: He has never thought about having a pet himself but...A turtle? He thinks they are quite nice :^)
✦ Lázaro: Has a senior cat (Elise) and would like to bring more members to their cat family, if Lady Elise approves!
✦ Cécile: Dogs are one of the only things that makes him smile so...
Watching Luffy scream his voice hoarse as Zoro gets eaten by that flower thing in the Baron Omatsuri movie was my ZoLu Roman Empire.
And then canon events duplicated that desperate scream with Kizaru v. Zoro at Sabaody.
Honestly, both events were traumatizing, but bless your ZoLu biases, Oda-sensei.
Also, I just LOVE that while Zoro is the crew’s strong, fierce protector, Luffy is also SO PROTECTIVE OF ZORO! We need more protective Luffy fics where he saves/spoils Zoro. Get to work, writers!!!
