for me it was really hard to pick a favorite character because unlike other series there just to many badass characters to choose from but when i finished thriller bark it became a no contest zoros scene was just to epic and when i got all caugnt up and rewatched the series and saw all small zoro badass moments it just reinforced him being my favorite character
-his scenes with nami in the arlong park arc
-then in enies lobby "hurry up and lower it ""what an evil looking face" that just pumped me up fors some reason lolo
-then again when he was fighting kaku "you wanna hand over robins keys before i kill you" and "how bout the zoo" o
- and ofcourse recentley when he beat monet just by scaring her
and its not just that hes a bamf he can step up and do what has to be done when no one else in the crew is able to like when ussop left the crew i also love his fights with sanji even though there always competing theyre great friends who would gladly give there lives for each other i also like the running gag of him having no sense of direction its hilarious when even though he takes the wrong path heends up in theright location like in alabasta and punk hazard my second and third favorite charcters would be luffy and sanji my favorite marine is smoker i loved the moment in alabast when he letthe strawhats go after they saved him from drowning also this quote was just too epic
"go and tell those old government bastards to go eat shit" and of course theres "sorry little girl my silly pants ate your ice cream" my other favorites are ace,whitebeard,shanks,rayliegh,garp,viper,law,dragon so theres my top 12
