Rambling On About One Piece

I seem to be sharing some morbid posts now and then so this time I'm just gonna talk about this sudden encounter with a fictional character and how much he speaks to me on multiple levels. 

I'm sure many of you know the name Oda (Oda Sensei to some) and his ongoing work, "One Piece". It's the story of Monkey D Luffy, the man who ate the Gum-Gum Devil Fruit and now is elastic. He dreams of being the King of Pirates and on his journey he's got some really interesting characters tagging along. 

The character that has struck me hardest is Roronara Zoro, a bounty hunter skilled in the Three Sword Style of fighting. He's a tough cookie but one of the most outstanding characters put to paper (and in this case image). 

Since he made Luffy his captain, his honor is bound to Luffy and even though Luffy gets in strange situations, there is a certain trust Zoro has in him. He's the one person who always sees the good Luffy tries to do in the world and thus he is always with Luffy. 

I have of course just started my journey and have 1000 episodes left but the prospect of spending 1000 episodes with Roronara Zoro and the other straw hats is something I'm looking forward to.

Which character in One Piece speaks to you? Let me know!
