A common theme is self - discovery. When Zoro travels through time, he often has to face his past or potential future selves, which makes him re - evaluate who he is. For example, in some fictions, he sees how his decisions in the past led to his current self.
Luffy's carefree and adventurous nature would make him eager to explore the new time period. He'd probably jump into any situation without much thought, which could lead to both trouble and amazing discoveries. For example, he might accidentally disrupt an important historical event because he's so excited to see what's going on.
One great Zoro time travel fanfiction is 'Zoro's Time - Leaping Adventure'. It has Zoro traveling back in time and facing challenges in the past while trying to keep his identity hidden. It's full of action and his signature sword - fighting scenes.
A really interesting plot twist could be that in the time - travel, Luffy and Zoro switch bodies. This would lead to a lot of comical situations as they try to adapt to each other's abilities. Zoro in Luffy's body would have to deal with the stretchy powers, and Luffy in Zoro's body would have to handle the three - sword style. It would also create some unique battle strategies as they fight enemies.
Well, in such a fanfiction, there could be various hints. Maybe Zoro's behavior might be more in line with typical female characteristics described in that specific fictional world, like being more empathetic or having different social interactions compared to the original male - character version. But it really depends on how the author has crafted the story.
A magical healer could be a great ally. Since Zoro often gets injured in battles, the healer can patch him up. Also, the healer might be able to use magic to enhance Zoro's physical abilities for a short time, like making his strikes faster or stronger.
One great Robin and Zoro fanfiction is 'The Unlikely Alliance'. It shows how their different skills and personalities complement each other during a difficult adventure on an uncharted island. The story has a great mix of action and character development.
Yaoi fanfiction often explores relationships in unique ways. In Mihawk x Zoro yaoi fanfiction, it could depict their dynamic as one of mutual respect and unexpected closeness. Maybe it shows how Mihawk's powerful presence affects Zoro, and how Zoro's determination might intrigue Mihawk. However, these are just some general ideas as different fanfictions can take the relationship in various directions.
Character growth is a big part. Since they are both complex characters in the original. Fanfiction might show Zoro becoming more in tune with his emotions around Robin, and Robin becoming more confident in her physical abilities with Zoro's influence. Like in some stories where Zoro teaches Robin basic self - defense moves, and Robin in turn helps Zoro understand some ancient texts related to their adventures.
In these fanfictions, their relationship can develop through shared battles. When they fight side by side against tough opponents, they understand each other better and their trust deepens.
