I think Zoro just greatly respects Luffy and thinks that following and assisting him with his journey is the best way to reach the top

What I'm getting at is Zoro has already indicated he cares more about his duties as a first mate than he does the strongest swordsman bit.

Zoro doesn’t treat those as two different things, in his own words he can’t properly be the first mate for the king of pirates if he isn’t the strongest swordsman in the world

Sanji's dream is allegedly all blue but there's been so much more narrative weight on his dream of being a peeper. Like I'm supposed to believe that deep down he cares about fish more than women?

A lot of straw hat dreams are going to get completed just by sailing with Luffy and they dont really have to take active steps towards it like Zoro does


Sanji - All Blue will be created somehow when the one piece is found (reverse mountain crumbling or the red line sinking)
Usopp - Achieved his dream when he defeated Chew but who knows when he will realize it
Nami - When the strawhats inevitably go into space, she can draw her world map easily. Or, the entire world map is solved at this point so drawing in Laugh Tale is all she has to do
Franky/Brook - After the all blue is created the circumnavigation and reunionw ith Laboon happen almost instantly
Robin - Rio Poneglyph will be on Laugh Tale, and shes gonna get all the rest of the history too there
Jinbei - What even is his dream?

Zoro and Chopper are the only ones who really have to strive on thier own, and we have seen Chopper doing more doctoring lately, even if Marco upstages him sometimes. Everyone else is just sorta free to coast like Sanji, reaching the end of the grand line is going to fulfill them. Although I guess Sanji doesnt know that (Nami, either).

The cool thing about One Piece is that they don't just use the cartoon logic of always wearing the exact same outfit. They each have a signature style (Sanji wears suits, Franky wears an aloha shirt and speedo) but even when they are wearing their "signature" outfit and not an arc specific outfit there are still often color/pattern changes.

So really, the key things that seemed to change post-timeskip:
- Luffy has a chest scar which he likes to show off in some outfits
- Zoro probably stabbed himself in the eye with a fork; doesn't exactly "dress up" more but seems to favor heavier, cloak-like outfits more
- Nami is bustier :rolleyes:
- Ussop is more muscular and has a soul patch and longer hair
- Sanji parts his hair on the other side and has a kind of disconnected goatee(?)
- Chopper has a way more complex hat and wears shirts more often
- Robin lost the bangs and some melanin, also somehow bustier (maybe the Revolutionary Army has a really good health plan that covers cosmetic surgery?)
- Franky went full insano mode
- Brook is still a skeleton

Brook is the only member of the Straw Hats where there's a big gap in his backstory that could be hiding something big imo. He's like Sanji prior to Whole Cake
