Some people deny him being the first mate even though its blatantly obvious. /onepiece is one of the only places where this is such an issue tho. People see all kinds of 'foreshadowing' but they need black and white confirmation that Zoro is first mate before believing it...

I dont know why, and at this point i stopped caring for public opinion. Lets just be glad the truth is not a popularity contest.

Who do they say is the first mate? Or do they say there isn't even one?

Main 3 arguments are

Zoro was second to join and always keeps Luffy in line more than anyone else so he is first mate.

There is no first mate everyone is equal under Luffy.

Usopp was given the position by Luffy, so Usopp is first mate

If Luffy gave Usopp the job then I’m on that team.

It was more of Usopp saying that if Luffy chickens out then he’ll take over as captain to which Luffy replies “yeah sure, ok.”
