!! OP CHAP 1110 SPOILERS !! Little rant abt zoro & egghead.

this has been in my mind for a while hold on let me ramble to my audience of 0. Throughout the egghead arc, Zoro has been called a burden 3 times now. THREE. and his reactions are varying. the first I’m pretty sure was Sanji near the start with him & zoro bantering and being childish like they usually are. the 2nd time is when zoro is fighting Lucci. And you can see he’s VISUALLY taken aback. AND WITH THIRD TIME BY SANJI, HE LITERALLY STANDS THERE AND PAUSES. TO GET HIS SHIT TOGETHER.

(There’s 3 points I wanna put out throughout this)

The reaction to it.

the reason I’m so obsessed over this is because roronoa zoro, luffy’s first crewmate, I was always trying to get stronger pre-time skip. not once was he ‘useless’ or a ‘burden’ to the crew during a fight. After alabasta, he’s meditating with 2 huge ass boulders on top of his arms - and talking (or beating himself up) about getting stronger.

and post-time skip, he’s stoic and serious towards the crew to act serious when fighting. We can see this when he tells Luffy off in punk hazard to take his fight with Ceaser more seriously.

But not ONCE. has he ever been a burden to the crew. Sure, he’s gotten worked up after sanji calls him names or insults. But he’s never been a burden. (And idk if sanji’s ever called him a burden pre-egghead!)

His reaction to sanji & lucci calling him a burden is so off-putting.

With lucci, it’s just back talking him to piss him off more and lose his composure during the fight. And this is why zoro doesn’t think much about it. we see a little “!” Bubble on zoro as it pans to him after lucci calls him a burden, but the dialogue doesn’t continue on it.

however, with sanji, he psychically stops for 2 panels. you can see another “!” bubble to see he heard it. with no dialogue, but a sketchy shading over his face.

ESPECIALLY WITH THE “. . .” BUBBLE AROUND HIM.

and he takes a second to fix his composure and defeat (?) lucci.

From this, I’m pretty sure he thinks that he IS A burden, (which he isn’t.) and is letting the crew down.

but wait… that sounds familiar…

DING DING DING!!!

2. The continuing pattern of self-blame & ‘leaving’ the crew.

as we’ve seen from east blue, water 7, and zou/wholecake island, each member that left had blamed theirselves for burdening to crew, or becoming victim to higher powers. (I expand on this later)

the representation of mental health and blame in one piece is so fucking spectacular. As someone who took 6 months off school because of my mental health, and more specifically guilt of being useless, Oda conveys this VERY WELL. each and every character in one piece that has left the crew has explored that feeling of guilt, and worry of essentially feeling an anchor to others.

that they weren’t enough.

or that they got in the way.

or they were going to bring pain and hurt to the crew because of something (or someone) else.

NOW, IM NOT SAYING THAT ZORO WOULD WILLINGLY LEAVE THE CREW. BECAUSE HE WOULDN’T.

not in his dizziest daydream, would he ever leave the crew. Leave luffy.

(Post-Long ring island, he said “now that I think about it, There’d be no point in me being a pirate if not on this ship.

thriller bark, he faced almost guaranteed death to save his crew.)

However, here’s a quick fact.

Almost every ‘human’, (nami, ussop, robin, sanji) in the crew has left/tried to go seperate ways after self blame of higher powers demanded it.

this is almost the full east blue crew, excluding zoro. and they had their reasons for it.

Nami - Arlong pirates and her hometown. (Higher powers)

Usopp - Merry and not being strong. (self-blame) Robin - Ohara and CP9. (Higher powers) Sanji - Vinsmoke Judge and Big Mom. (Higher powers & self-blame)

**they all experience self-blame and being a burden to the crew. These are just the main reasons.** (Nami when she broke down infront of luffy in arlong park, ussop when his suspicions of being useless to the crew were confirmed because he wasn’t strong enough, robin when she was on top of the tower in enies lobby saying that they’ll be hurt if they stay with her, sanji overall.)

which sounds familiar, right?

now let’s do a checklist with zoro.

other than wano and the shimotsuki bloodline, zoro isn’t blood related to any higher powers or organisations. So we can mark off higher powers.

zoro has been called a burden 3 times during this arc, and looks like he’s under a bit of pressure.

zoro currently, of chapter 1110, falls under the self-blame category.

Oda loves to have continuing patterns in one piece. We know this.

(the continuing pattern of liberation, found family, etc.)

what I’m saying here is basically-

leaving the crew is a pattern that has only happened to the ‘humans’ so far, because of higher powers and self blame. Zoro is feeling self blame right now. it wouldn’t be far fetched to assume it could happen to him too!(zoro would also complete the east blue gang all leaving the crew at one point!) and I can back this up with point 3 !

3. Chapter numbers & number coding

If you didn’t know, one piece characters usually have stuff (colours, food, etc.) that coordinates with their character!

for nami, it’s tangerines.

for robin, its books.

etc.

this is done via the SBS question corner, or collective thoughts via the community.

With numbers, it can either be their birthday or just a number that suits them!

Luffy’s number is 56, and his birthday is the 5th of may! (5/6)

see what I’m getting at?

it’s also the same with zoro!

his colour is green, usually based of his hair or haramaki, number is 11, and food is booze.

What I find interesting correlating with the events of egghead, is his number.

His birthday is the 11th of November. (11/11)

His bounty is 1,111,000 beri. (As of the egghead arc.)

and as we know, the chapter we are currently on is 1110. What’s the next chapter?

1111.

which is his number.

I think chapter 1111 is when something happens to zoro!!! (Gasp!!!)

Oda ALSO likes to correlate some chapter numbers when they come back around.

(E.g. for the 1000th chapter of one piece, Oda redid a colour spread that was in chapter 100.

Dorry and Broggy were introduced to us In chapter 116, and pulled up to egghead in chapter 1106.)

SO!!

To summarise this whole thing -

I think that chapter 1111 will feature something happening to zoro that might make him seperate from the crew/leave, that correlates with him being called a burden 3 times this arc.

that’s all from me, if u have some to add or correct please do so!!! 🫶🫶
