Contrapositivity

Well, I'm a shameless lurker who loves reading character studies, and this exceeded my expectations. You said you didn't like this, but, trust me, it's pretty good and I don't think it's actually OOC. Even if someone has a cheerful, exuberant and dense personality, that doesn't mean that that's all there is to him/her, and Luffy has shown surprising insight before when the situation has called for it, that’s why I don’t think he’s OOC. Luffy shows frightening anger when somebody threatens to take one of his nakama from him, however, I think that anger would turn to uncharacteristic fear if such threat wasn’t made by a stranger, but from a friend threatening to walk away on his own freewill. With the right circumstances, doing uncharacteristic things doesn’t equal being OOC, or at least that’s what I believe.

However, Luffy is not the “main character” in this fic, Zoro is, and you did a wonderful job with him.

All in all, I’m very glad I read this. :)
