Why Zoro is the Vice-Captain and Right Hand Man of Luffy

First, Zoro is referred to as first mate by other pirates, specifically Urouge and Bartolomeo.

Here we see Zoro taking charge of the crew and teaching Luffy what a captain is.

He also was thought of as the leader of the crew

And who could forget about this.

Finally let’s not forget about his obvious parallels with Silvers Rayleigh who is undoubtly the right hand of the Pirate King.
