It's Roronoa Zoro!

He's tough, he's a badass, he has ambition. When we're first introduced to him, everyone knows his name and thinks of him as this ferocious, heartless bounty hunter. And his appearance and demeanour certainly match that reputation, but at the same time he protects a random little girl from the spoiled son of a corrupt government official, and then lets himself be imprisoned to spare the girl and her mother retribution from the corrupt officials.

He's so badass and cool that in a lot of other shows he might even be the protagonist. Instead, he supports his captain (the protagonist) and has taken his captain's ambition on as his own as well. In one instance he even says that his own ambition is worthless if he can't make his captain's ambition come true. Considering how ambitious he is himself and how single-mindedly he has pursued his own goals for a long time, that was just right in the feels for me.

He's not a loud character, but when the focus is on him it's always badass. My favourite moments are when he's supporting his captain, covering his weak point. I don't mean this physically in a fight, but emotionally. Zoro's devotion to his captain is rarely the focus, but it's always undeniably there (and when it is the focus it results in some of my favourite scenes in the whole series).

If you don't mind spoilers, here's someone more eloquent than me gushing about the character: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fX0rC0jnRhg

If you have as much as a loyalty kink as I have, I heartily recommend One Piece. The whole series is full of themes of devotion and loyalty and the most beautiful thing is that almost always you see and understand why characters develop these bonds. You share the emotional ups and downs of the characters as the story progresses because the character work the author does is just fantastic.
