Zoro, being the first mate, never fails to remind Luffy how important it is that he actually acts like a captain. When Usopp wants to join the crew again, Zoro stresses that he needs to apologize.

Zoro isn’t the kind of person to depend on anyone else. He will do everything he can to make a name for himself. Even if the world pushes him, he will push back.
