IMO that's like saying Franky should be presented as cyborg brawler, Sanji as martial artist and so on, i mean if Zoro's position on the crew is the FM why not mention it instead of swordsman
Because you don't state the obvious.
Why does this question even have its own thread? Of course he's the First Mate. Does Oda need to paint it on a truck and run into you at full speed with it for it to sink in? It should be obvious enough, he's done everything but state the obvious and/or hit you over the head with it.
there isn't an official first mate, but zoro definitely fits the bill and has kinda taken that position depending on the situation…for example, if luffy wasn't around, the rest of the crew would (more or less) rely on Zoro's strength or fortitude or courage to guide them...take Alabasta for example, about the time Luffy fought Crocodile for the first time. Zoro displays pretty good thinking and leadership at that moment, in my opinion.
Psst!
Hey guys.
According to Oda, the Strawhats aren't a 'pirate crew'.
But does that mean they aren't pirates?
Zoro hasn't been called 'First Mate' amongst the crew or by Oda yet and thus should not be officially labeled as such until then.
But does that mean it isn't the role he plays?

Is it ok for me to label you as an idiot, because you sure are commenting like one
Yeah, Urouge is now the official source for everything Strawhats-related. :getlost:Sheesh.
But then the databooks are contradicting each other, since Red/Blue and the manga volumes keep saying otherwise.
No Oda was trolling everyone when he made Urouge say that. :getlost:
hrm… difference between first mate, vice captain, second-captain huh.. []
complicated~
Zoro IS first-mate, but not really vice- captain.
I believe all can be vice captains depending on situations.
I'm suprised this thread exists for some reason.
This must be from the days when the mods didn't give a hoot.
Psst!

My whole life has just been redifined…
P.S: Mods are on vacation or been lazy lately...
Of course Zoro isn't the First Mate.
He's more of a Boatswain, if anything. He could also be considered the Quartermaster, considering how much authority he seems to hold during times of distress for the crew. But definitely not First Mate.
LOL still this topic… brennen and some others owned you hard but you are still thinking otherwise?
Does Oda need to run you guys over with a golf cart covered in neon signs saying "ZORO'S THE FIRST MATE!"? It's been pretty obvious, given his role in the crew, that he remains calm, assesses situations carefully, and makes the decision best for the crew. Since Luffy's the captain, then I think these qualities make for a good first mate. One that's been rather obvious for a quite awhile.
