User blog comment:Zolodabeaast/Proof:Zoro Is The First Mate/@comment-69.243.149.190-20110811153500

i didnt know there was an argument about Zoro being the first mate. usually who joins first is the first mate. the reason im having trouble believing it completely is because when they show the Red Hair Pirates it is said that Benn Beckman is the first mate. However, in episode 0 Shanks is alone in a small little boat looking for Yasopp to join his crew. I dont know if Beckman was already with Shanks and decided to let him search for Yasopp alone but still its pretty weird not to see him there.
