Zoro didn't really get it.
This guy was supposed to be strong right? Somebody that nobody (not even Luffy) wanted to fight. So why, he wondered, why was it that he always had to save this guy's ass?!
On the Grand Line, what were the chances of getting trapped in a thick ass cage made of sea stone with the same stupid ass marine, not once, but twice?! Apparently, Zoro figured, judging by recent events, they were higher than the chances of him getting a decent nap every once in a while.
When help finally came and the water came crashing down, in what Zoro called a painful deja vu, Luffy ordered him to rescue the marine.
"Goddammit Luffy! Why are we saving this guy?! Shouldn't he be able to take care of himself?!"
"But he can't swim! He'll die if we leave him!" More painful deja vu.
"I know that! I'm asking you why!"
He asked, but he had already grabbed the unconscious marine and braced himself for the next large wave that came crashing over their heads.
Later...
Back on the ship, danger extinguished, Zoro napped only to be roughly awoken by Luffy.
"What?!"
"Because Ace is my brother."
And Zoro didn't really get it.

Date: 2008-05-14 05:49 am (UTC)"Not head smart but heart smart" really sums up Luffy. He does a lot of things that end up making sense later.
