Luffy does have 'weird wisdom' , and in this case it's about Zoro's freedom to get into this fight even though it's turning out badly for him. It's his freedom to do or die and his sole ambition and so Luffy can't interfere with that-- He promised not to anyway back when they first met.
I don't think Zoro gets more serious, no. Not at this juncture certainly. I can't remember all the incidents off the top of my head, but he laughs in Alabasta, he is having a lot of fun at the feast. He is happy to get a warm coat in Drum. He laughs at Chopper's antics. Of course I will have to look and see myself, pick out the moments, but I think that the more serious side doesn't really tick over until Thriller Bark. But post Time Skip, he starts off a bit somber but he definitely loosens up as he reconnects with the others.
As for Nami--
Zoro's already let go of her betrayal. He's like, whatever, we don't need her. Zoro was ready to push her out of his concern which is a pretty big deal. It's like, in Japan, a common punishment for children is, not to send them to their rooms, but lock them out of the house. Separate them from family. That's essentially what Zoro wanted to do with Nami.
Of course, Luffy told him to go and he's going for the sake of Luffy's concern, not his own, but Mihawk trumps that. Mihawk is the most important goal in his life right now, the one thing Luffy can't disrupt or interfere in--so of course he's going to go straight for that.
As for telling them 'you go after Nami'? Again, Nami is not his concern but Luffy's concern. Moreover, the moment Mihawk appears and Zoro knows who he is, he is hyper focused on him. I don't even think Nami enters into his mind.
Luffy was concerned with what was up with her because it was weird, but Zoro's fight is more important right now. Of course Luffy being Luffy he's confident they'll be able to catch up to her regardless. For right now, again, Zoro is the main focus. This isn't just any fight but watching him tackle the personification of his dream head on. Luffy can't leave in any case because of his debt to Zeff, but he doesn't even have the presence of mind to send anyone else on.
Johnny and Yosaku weren't betrayed, really. They got their treasure stolen but Zoro's fight is more entrancing than that. They are swordsmen, too, and moreover, swordsmen who have seen the full extent of Zoro's strength. Also they know Mihawk is the strongest swordsman, so what is treasure compared to that? Adding to that, Zoro is their friend so they have to stay and watch his dream and make sure he doesn't get killed.
Usopp tried to get their attention to go after Merry until he realized it was futile. But to Usopp, Nami's betrayal didn't hit half as hard. She helped him fight, yeah, but he hasn't known her for as long as the others have and he's most concerned with getting his precious ship back. But he's sure as hell not going all by himself because yeah, no. I don't think he really cared about the fight until Luffy stopped Johnny and Yosaku from interfering and then it kicked in what a big serious deal this all was.
Also, you have to remember that this fight probably wasn't very long. Maybe a few minutes at least. And the moment when everything was okay again--they snapped right back to, okay let's get Nami.
But I think you're right that, for most of them, she wasn't really nakama.
For Zoro, nakama takes a while to settle in, outside of Luffy. He takes a while to get used to people and let people into his personal sphere, especially, I think, if they are aggressive and not to be trusted as Nami is. Zoro knows what kind of person she is and likely still remembers how she used him to get free of that oil slick. In other words, he knows she's one that uses people. Though he let down his guard and started, I think, to like her a little while they were just bumming around the Baratie while Luffy worked.
For Usopp again, he doesn't know Nami that well, and he doesn't really have the concept of nakama down himself--and it takes him a bit to get there-- which we'll see as his own story line evolves.
Johnny and Yosaku, of course, don't factor in.
And again, for Luffy she is nakama. But she's not hurt. She's leaving of her own free will. He doesn't know why. It seems weird. But right now that's not the most important thing.
And...yes this is an absurdly long answer ahaha so sorry >> But thanks for the reply because actually it gave me an idea.
