You were his Sun- his big ol' Sun that he was so very, very guilty n' gracious 'nough ta share with the rest of yer lil' world.

Yep. It was all freakin' yours, every lil' darn thing ya could see it was all yours, n' Heavens forbid anyone in there good minds that is- freakin' dared ta step forward n' try ta tell ya otherwise. N' then Zoro would jus' hafta deal with that fer ya too- n' it really doesn't matter who, sure, Zoro was most definitely more than jus' a tiny, wee bit skeptical of ya when ya first met n' were runnin' all 'round every which way, screamin' n' yellin' at the top of yer lungs how ya were gonna be the King of the Pirates n' all that good stuff n' maybe- jus' maybe Zoro's a lil' guilty of not believing ya n' just straight-up laughin' at yer lil' dream n' callin' it plain ol' stupid, still kinda is ta Zoro- but he's the only one allowed ta say that, everybody else can go kick rocks n' fall over n' die when s'about you n' all yer silly lil' dreams Zoro's gonna help ya accomplish 'em n' more no matter how stupid n' dumb n' freakin' crazy they were. 'Cause they were yours they meant the whole freakin' world ta Zoro n' that's that.

Zoro's still freakin' surprised how ya jus'- pulled 'em into runnin' up n' down out of the East Blue with ya n' got 'em so loyal ta ya but at the same time he does know, he really, really knows way too freakin' well how n' why he's so freakin' loyal to ya. S'actually pretty simple, almost simple as takin' a deep breath n' openin' his eyes ta gaze into those big ol' pretty shinin' ones of yours- ah... He was pretty freakin' down bad, huh? Welp, 'least s'fer ya n' not no other crazy fool. Goodness knows yer already completely too much for Zoro ta handle all his own.

N' that means Zoro's just gonna hafta to keep gettin' stronger n' stronger n' stronger if he wants ta keep on protecting ya n' be there when ya do become the King of the Pirates. It's gonna be a pain in the rump but he may as well jus' see it through after followin' ya all this way 'ere.
