Chapter Text
As a child, Zoro saw little point to laughter. Nothing funny about swords, and that was all that mattered. As he got older he found reasons. A pirate's empty threats, meaningless to him. 'I'll kill you.' The best joke. He enjoyed how their faces changed at his sharp chuckle as he pulled his swords, when they realized that however many of them there were, he wasn't afraid. He always cut it short before the blood fell.
He's never laughed without meaning it. But it's only since he met this pirate king that when he starts, he isn't able to stop.
