thinking of how absolutely buckwild hilarious it would be if the last fraying thread of Oda’s fucks finally snapped and he just legit got Zoro and Sanji together, canonically, on panel, and was like “that’s right, assholes, it was all foreshadowing! all the Kuina parallels, Sanji getting upset that Zoro wouldn’t want to mess around with him in Nami’s body, the whole ‘take me out if my Germa genes take over’ thing, the ‘being queer is living authentically’ thing, even the bit where they first met and Sanji begs Zoro to let go of his dream and survive–all of it! fuck all y’all I’m outta here tip your waitresses” and then never answered another question about it again
alternately I would also accept if in the Obligatory Shounen Timeskip Epilogue we find Zoro, like 45 years old, in the middle of an absolute sea of enemies, having a squabbling conversation via Den-Den Mushi with his wife about groceries or something (continuing the “Zoro dresses and talks like an old working-class Japanese guy from a small rural village” thing he’s got going on), and then it cuts to his wife and it’s Sanji, transitioned and rocking it, in the middle of her own absolute sea of enemies, also kicking ass, as Oda drops the trans!Sanji bomb and the Zoro/Sanji bomb simultaneously and then vanishes into the night
(also it turns out that they’re embarrassingly in love too in that “middle-aged couple in a shounen manga” way. Like Zoro is whipped as fuck—except when it comes to their rivalry of course—and pouts if he doesn’t get welcome home kisses. Sanji always has her arm in the crook of his elbow when they’re out in public together unless they’re actively sparring at that precise moment. That kind of shit)
