Pairings: None

Drabble Summary: Zoro is the perfect first mate because he and Luffy are the same side of the coin – even if people didn't believe it.
Just the name of the green haired swordsman made Luffy shake with excitement. He had to have the so called demon as part of his crew. And when Zoro told him that he would join under the condition that Luffy not spoil his goals, the straw hat man felt another shiver of excitement as he whispered back, "I wouldn't have it any other way."
No Captain was good without a First Mate that had equal conviction. That was what One Piece was all about, a group of great friends having great adventures on the great sea all for one thing – their goals. Zoro…Zoro was just the man Luffy wanted in command next to him. The swordsman didn't know it but they had a lot in common.
"Zoro, I want to talk to you." He called after dinner as the other was heading towards the mast for a quick nap. Even though the entire crew turned to look at Luffy, the rubber captain only waved his first mate to follow as he made it towards the storage room.
"What is it, Luffy?" The man asked with genuine concern. Luffy couldn't hide his smile as brought his arms behind his back and leaned forward.
"I think…I made the right choice in making you my first mate. If anything happens, would you promise to help Nami map the world and Usopp to be a great man of the sea? Help Sanji find All Blue and Chopper find a cure for every disease?" He tilted his head, licking his lips as he continued. "Robin needs a family, that's her goal. So be that for her, please and make sure Franky takes care of the Thousand Sunny?"
Zoro's look of surprise because the topic was brought up vanished to a look of respect. "For you, Captain, anything."
Oh yes, Zoro made one fine first mate.
