Luffy never gets sick and that's a fact, but one time he did after being in the water for to long and they only just noticed after 10 minutes and Zoro dove straight in.
When Zoro bought Luffy back up he wasn't breathing for another 5 minutes and after that he got a cold and had to stay inside for a week or two with Zoro taking care of him, because Luffy would try go on the deck but half the time he'd fall over when he was close to the door

Love you artt! So, an idea for a drawing! Zoro taking care of sick Luffy!
So I’m lowkey a sucker for those cute little “taking care of my sick friend/crush” plots in shows so this was really fun to mess with
I remember the manga mentioning Luffy never got sick but if he ever did, I think he’d be a grumpy, miserable sick, joy and whimsy GONE because everything just feels off, and he can’t do anything about it but sit still for a few days (I’m definitely not the same way, why’d you ask)
Zoro’s doing what he can, but he’s never been sick and doesn’t usually deal with the sick so he’s doing his darndest
Ive decided to remove keep shining for you are my sun off Ao3, not for any bad reasons, it's just that I can't be bothered to keep updating it because I genuinely lost the plot of it and I kept rushing it.
I keep taking on to many projects at a time so I might slow down and work on the other two I'll keep up (still my Zolu ones that I'm more proud of) thank you to those who have read it though I appreciate it

Sometime after Luffy came back with his crew at Sabody, he would get sick at the though of fire and blood so he would use his haki more then actually fighting, but it got harder to avoid when Sanji was cooking. While he was hungry he knew the smell of the meat cooking and the fire would just make him sick and Zoro had to tell Sanji because he was the only one who noticed it, so Sanji would give different food to Luffy instead of meat.
Luffy didn't fully get over it, but his little fear of fire got better with the help of Zoro and his crew, he still hated fire tho and they all understood that
Luffy likes the sea just as much as he likes bugs, although he knows not to actually go in the watter he'll always feel oddly close to the water.
It would either be reaching over the railing just to gently touch the water and just looking at the aquarium in the ship, just mindlessly looking at the fish, and sometimes Zoro would just sit with him because Luffy would always end up falling asleep at any given time (Narcolepsy)
Sometimes he would just jump into the sea when they were near an island and then just roll with the waves to shore which always caused concern

Luffy deserves so much love. When it comes shipping, in a lot of fics I’ve read and in a lot of headcanons I see online, luffy is always the one that’s comforting the other person. Which isn’t a bad thing inherently but I think his own emotional vulnerability isnt explored enough. Sure he brushes things off but that doesn’t mean he doesnt feel them!! He is so loving and giving and it makes total sense that he comforts those he loves, but he also deserves someone to be vulnerable with even if it’s only rarely. I don’t know if this makes any sense sorry I just have a lot of feelings about him :-(
Yes yes yes yes yes
This my favorite thing to find in fics! Sorry this reply probably took as long as it did, but I'm about to drop as many fic recs as I can find on you.
Unfortunately, it's not as explored as I'd like it to be, at least not in the fics I've read (I tend to find one author and then read everything they've ever written before moving on oops). I want more Luffy being comforted, so:
This is a living list that I will keep updating as I find more.
Send me your fics! Short, Long, Gen, or any Luffy Ship, I will read them and add them! Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie <3
Works that include smut will have 🔥 next to them.
Last update: May 31st, 2026. 1:17 pm Fic count: 36
Gen fics
A Wound that Aches Yet Isn't Felt by @carochinha Luffy has a nightmare and goes to seek out Zoro for comfort. Can be read as platonic or as Zoro/Luffy! (The official tags use "&" so it's up here in gen! Instead of down in Zoro/Luffy)

Experimenting with Apotheosis by Anon. Shanks gets taken to impel down, and his cell mate is a 4 year old Luffy that he's now determined to rescue!

Law/Luffy fics

To Remember Your Voice by Anon. Luffy talks about missing Ace to Law. It's short and sweet, most dialogue, but I enjoyed it
Rubber Doesn't Always Bounce Back by Teandtumblr. This one is from Law's POV and it's mostly him defending Luffy rather than just comforting but the point stands.
Pain Scale by TeaandTumblr. Luffy was in seastone long enough to break bones, but he doesn't know that. All he knows is that it hurts and he's sleepy. This kinda goes hand with the last one!
Shadow Rises (and You Are Here) by @shishiswordsman . Luffy has a slave brand, and Law finds out about it in the worst way possible- by getting captured with him while on the way to an auction house. (I haven't caught up to this one just yet, but it's great so far!) (Suggested to me by an anon)

Kizuna By YokoHogawa . Usopp and Sanji are deeply concerned about Luffy's mental state post Marineford, but Zoro trusts his captain will tell him when it's time
kiss your screen every time you see a typo or grammatical error in my fics because it means it's home grown and not some ai bullshit and im dead serious about this
Zoro awakens in the arms of a god.
He realizes it as soon as he opens his eyes. He feels an ancestral power coursing through his nerves, his tendons, his bones. He feels the energy he thought lost, that he thought impossible, returning mobility to his stiffened muscles. He breathes again through his shattered lungs, now recomposed by divine grace.
Yes, Zoro awakens in the arms of Luffy, because if there is a god, it must be Luffy.
No one speaks. They are surrounded by their crew, their allies, their friends; but no one matters. No one matters except the two of them, captain and first mate, Luffy and Zoro. Always, always Luffy and Zoro.
Luffy smiles, and Zoro feels his warmth all over his body, no longer cold, no longer dead. Because Zoro was dead but Luffy wouldn’t allow it. So Luffy smiles, and Zoro cries for the first time since Hawkeye.
Zoro hears Sanji’s voice, tender, asking everyone else to leave, to let him recover, to let him understand. So Sanji is still himself. Good to know.
The others leave, and in the ruins of Onigashima, Zoro speaks.
“I won”.
And Luffy… Luffy laughs, bright, fearless, beautiful.
“Of course”.
Zoro has never once prayed to god. He thought he’d never do it. He thought he would never have the capacity to believe in anything but his dream, in anyone but himself. But now… Now he knows he can. He could for a long time. Zoro believed in Luffy as soon as he saw him smile, and he’s been a devotee ever since. Of course Luffy is otherwordly. Of course he’s a god.
The sun. Luffy is the sun, in Zoro’s life, in everyone’s. Under Luffy’s gaze, Zoro feels like he’s on Sunny’s deck, sleeping peacefully, at home. Luffy gave him a home. Luffy gave him a family. Luffy gave Zoro something bigger than his life, than his ambition, than his dream.
Zoro had been worshipping Luffy long before he knew he was doing it.
He has no regrets.
“I will follow you” he sais, “I will follow you until the end of this earth, my captain, my king. My god.”
Luffy just laughs, and laughs, and laughs.
“I’m so glad Zoro’s alive!!”
It's now the first of June where I'm from and soon it will be too in your country!
