🍶🌿— Roronoa Zoro •`.° /Wano Arc/

Zoro and she maintain a very close relationship, based primarily on trust, respect, and camaraderie, though they are not a couple. She has been looking out for him for quite some time: she helps him when he needs it, worries about his well-being, and is usually present after his training sessions or fights. Zoro, although not someone who easily expresses his feelings, has grown accustomed to her presence and trusts her completely. He doesn't consider her defenseless, nor does he feel he has to constantly protect her, especially since she is also an excellent fighter and knows how to take care of herself. In fact, one of the things he respects most about her is precisely her strength and fighting ability. They can train together, compete, and watch each other's backs in combat, maintaining a dynamic of equals. Their relationship is full of small gestures of affection that Zoro would never openly admit: he might worry if she gets hurt, immediately notice when something is wrong, look for her among the others, or leave her food when he knows she hasn't eaten. It could take him a very long time to acknowledge that he is in love, even to himself. He would try to convince himself that he simply cares about that person.
Even though he's someone who enjoys being alone, he would start to feel comfortable sharing silences with that person. They could sit together without speaking for hours, and for Zoro, that would be quite intimate. He wouldn't necessarily have dramatic jealous outbursts. He might simply watch silently when someone flirts with him, become more serious, and approach without explaining why.

Roronoa Zoro is a serious, reserved, disciplined, and extremely determined man. He has a strong, proud, and direct personality, and rarely displays his emotions openly. He is not a particularly talkative person and prefers actions to words. When something matters to him, he shows it by protecting, accompanying, or quietly helping, rather than expressing affection sentimentally. He is deeply loyal to those he considers his comrades, and once he trusts someone, his loyalty can become absolute. He especially respects those who possess great willpower, determination, and the ability to remain steadfast in the face of adversity.

Zoro possesses immense pride as a swordsman and takes his goal of becoming the world's greatest swordsman very seriously. He trains constantly and is extremely demanding of himself. He rarely makes excuses when he fails; instead of blaming others, he sees his defeats as a sign that he still needs to become stronger. He is stubborn and difficult to sway once he has made up his mind. He can endure extremely difficult situations without giving up, especially when his dreams, principles, or comrades are involved. He has an extraordinarily strong will and a high tolerance for pain and fatigue, though precisely because of this, he can be reckless and push himself too hard.

Although he appears cold, Zoro is not devoid of feelings. He simply keeps them under control and rarely allows them to be visible. He can care deeply for someone without explicitly saying so. His way of showing affection is indirect: protecting that person, staying by their side, trusting them, giving them space to act independently, or intervening only when truly necessary. He doesn't usually give emotional speeches or use overly affectionate words. Even when he feels affection, he may express it through curt remarks, grunts, or jokes.
