#whereas Zoro has no patience for any of that or any other people but the crew

Usopp and Zoro might be my fave duo in Drum Island purely because they just don't understand how the other one works and then lose all sense of situation because of it

Exhibit A) Usopp trying to help Vivi feel better:

Zoro: He's talking shit

Exhibit B) Usopp moved by Dalton's bravery trying to do a grand gesture:

Zoro: Usopp needs my help

Exhibit C) Usopp trying to instil confidence in the villagers and also show off

Zoro: Focused on finding the others

#like obvs they know each other well enough for Zoro to recognise Usopp's lying and Usopp knows he can hide behind Zoro#but they really do not read the room#Vivi needed that comfort Zoro!#Dalton needed to be carried Usopp!#Usopp wants to be a storybook hero with some of the qualities Zoro shows#whereas Zoro has no patience for any of that or any other people but the crew#so their goals are constantly misaligning even though they make each other stronger#like Usopp wants to help Dalton but doesn't have the strength#Zoro has the strength but not the empathy to help Dalton but he does for Usopp#but Usopp misreads that as Zoro taking away his moment#and Zoro is confused why Usopp doesn't like that he's helping him#but they've helped Dalton#you get me?

you can't just leave this in the tags when it's so thoughtful and correct
