My controversial op hot take is zoro shouldn’t be first mate but nami or usopp should. Nami bc she’s just like, objectively one of the most practical in the crew and someone with authority on this boat needs to be and usopp bc of how his stories keep coming true and I think say an arc, where usopp has to be the captain for a while bc luffy is MIA/KO’D/etc which would make him Actual Captain Usopp for like, a solid 5 mins and I think that’s Neat.
#op hell#one piece#I like zoro as a character but imo he’s dogshit in a position of a authority#man hasn’t even lead a group project at school before PLUS he’s naturally more aloof/solo so WHY do we let him try to MANAGE GROUP DYNAMICS?#nami is my like realistic pick but usopp has narrative potential#I just don’t like the idea of a first mate just being the First Guy or the Best Friend like…. it’s an authority position on a ship#how about having someone who even kNOWS HOW SHIPS WORK BE THE BACK UP LEADER???#for one pirates tended not to EVEN HAVE FIRST MATES the 2nd was usually the QUARTERMASTER#who is usually in charge of things like HR AND SUPPLIES#SO DO WE REALLY SEE ZORO DOING ANY OF THAT?????#zoro in HR is my worst nightmare
