User blog comment:Zolodabeaast/is zolo luffys first mate and the second strongest in da crew?/@comment-4132693-20110731084109

I like the relationship and respect and trust between zoro and luffy. I think zoro is luffy's first mate, i mean that is the most logical and sensible thing to say regarding how crew members stand amongst the SHs. Strength-wise, i would say luffy is stronger but like Roranoa zoro said, the gap may not be that much
