One Piece chapter 1136 spoilers commenced with a conversation between Jarul and the Straw Hat Pirates. The conversation was regarding the true identity of the Sun God. However, the conversation soon turned towards Loki after Luffy asked whether Loki was nice. While this confused the giants, Roronoa Zoro was also surprised to hear this.

In the previous chapter, Luffy saw Loki's real face in the Dead Realm of Elbaph. However, when he returned, he didn't act like himself, which might have attracted Zoro's attention. So, witnessing Luffy's strange behavior with the giants, the swordsman took his captain to the side and forced him to reveal what had happened.

As expected, Luffy couldn't deny Zoro, and chapter 1136 spoilers saw Luffy revealing everything about his deal with Loki to Zoro. Surprisingly, Zoro didn't react harshly to this and, instead, wanted to accompany Luffy to Loki to test the credibility of their deal. However, Nami heard everything and tagged along for personal reasons.

Given his past actions, Roronoa Zoro might be Luffy's most loyal person. At the start of their journey, Zoro stood up and refrained Usopp from rejoining the Straw Hats during the Water 7 Arc after he insulted his captain.

Fast forward to the Thriller Bark Arc, Zoro took his captain's injuries and faced the destructive toll from them. His acts in One Piece chapter 1136 spoilers again proved his worth as Luffy's sole confidant.

He didn't refrain Luffy from canceling his deal with Loki because Zoro knew his captain agreed on this deal for a particular reason. Moreover, he accompanied his captain to Loki alone to refrain from endangering everyone else's lives. So, Zoro might be the only Straw Hat Pirate who understands Luffy.

Final thoughts

Zoro might also be aware of Luffy's tenacity as the Straw Hat captain never backed down on something after considering it done. So, this might be the reason why Zoro didn't argue about canceling the deal with Loki. While the other Straw Hat Pirates might also have this understanding, they wouldn't entertain Luffy's selfish acts, unlike Roronoa Zoro, the first person Luffy recruited as his crewmate.
