That hands post going around just made me realize that there's this incredible thing Iñaki does with his hands as Luffy where he is never content to just touch things. He can never just grab something and let go. He strokes things. He gently runs his fingers across them, like he wants to touch as much of them as possible. And nowhere is this more apparent than with Zoro. Like
Iñaki, why. why would Luffy need to run his fingers along the entire length of Zoro's calf.
why is Luffy stroking Zoro's titty in this incredibly emotional moment
Just. The whole thing.
The only thing I can come up with is that touch is just a Luffy Love Language, with the softest, gentlest touches being reserved for those who are truly special to him.
