#Zoro just in the forest wondering 'where the hell is this marine base?' after collecting Cabaji's brother

[i-would-like-to-be-an-a-i]

So I was thinking about death (as one does) when I remembered something from the Live Action One Piece

So I checked to see if I was hallucinating and;

Nope, I wasn't but you know what this can imply???

Luffy and Zoro could have meet earlier on.

So my brain is like 'ah yes, au where everything is the same but Zoro and Luffy had meet earlier when he was at the Goa Kingdom'

(I don't know how old zoro was when he left his village but I do want to set this after Ace had gone out to sea, so Luffy is about 15? I believe? And Zoro is like... 17)

(Also- is there a marine base at at Goa Kingdom-?? I know it's protected by the marines but a base there?)
