Vote for the headcanons that Oda should totally adopt.

If you're a fan of One Piece, you know that the very first Straw Hat member Luffy was able to recruit was Roronoa Zoro. Known for his powerful techniques and unwavering loyalty, this green-haired swordsman is Luffy's right-hand man. He's a fan favorite due to his cool and stoic nature, but there is still a lot of mystery surrounding his origins and even that scarred left eye of his. 

OP fans do their best to come up with a number of headcanons to help solve the mystery behind the sleepy swordsman. Here's a list of interesting headcanons about Zoro. Are any of these headcanons worth adopting? Vote for your favorite ones!

    He Stocks Up On Sake

    He Stocks Up On Sake

    From a former Redditor:

    Zoro slips off when possible and stocks up on sake to drink while on watch…he sits watching the horizon, drinking said sake by himself after his daily training just reflecting.

    Why He's Always Sleepy

    Why He's Always Sleepy

    From Redditor u/S0me0neSP3C1AL:

    The reason why Zoro is always falling asleep on the ship during the day is because he takes on the role of guarding the ship at night so that the rest of the crew can sleep safely.

    He Likes When His Crewmates Look Up To Him

    He Likes When His Crewmates Look Up To Him

    From Redditor u/Kureiton:

    I think Zoro likes when other Straw Hats look up to him far more than he would be willing to admit. It’s why he likes Chopper so much, and is also why he does things like seek validation from Usopp that his rhino is totally bigger than Sanji’s lizard.

    He Picked Up Some Fashion Sense From Mihawk And Perona

    He Picked Up Some Fashion Sense From Mihawk And Perona

    From Redditor u/blastburnjawbreaker:

    He cannot dress well, like at all, BUT he definitely picked up a little bit of Perona and Mihawk’s fashion sense during the time skip. He’s not into the more complicated or attention-drawing stuff, more like fitness goth than anything…

    From Redditor u/just_an_average_guy7:

    Zoro's Ashura is a combination of Conqueror's Haki and Observation Haki. He makes people see what he wants them to see and, in this case, it's a three-headed demon.
