Roronoa Zoro, dubbed “Pirate Hunter,” is the swordsman and principal combatant of the Straw Hat Pirates, acting as the steadfast right hand to their captain. A native of the East Blue, he descends from Wano Country’s Shimotsuki Family, his bloodline linked to the famed samurai Shimotsuki Ryuma. Trained relentlessly in Shimotsuki Village, he forged the unconventional Three Sword Style and pledged to ascend as the world’s greatest swordsman, a vow binding him to the memory of Kuina, his late childhood friend. Once a bounty hunter driven by necessity, he earned his moniker capturing pirates before joining the crew after their captain spared him from execution. He carries three blades: the Wado Ichimonji, a cherished heirloom from Kuina, alongside later additions Enma and Sandai Kitetsu. His striking appearance—vivid green hair, triple golden earrings on his left ear, and a torso marred by a diagonal scar from Dracule Mihawk—is compounded by a post-timeskip scar sealing his left eye. Practicality defines his attire, often a haramaki sash securing his swords and a black bandana donned in battle. The *Stampede* film outfits him in a combat-efficient jumpsuit with a belt and armband. Stern and fiercely loyal, he balances his role with a notorious lack of directional sense, clashing humorously with crewmate Sanji despite mutual respect for their crew’s hierarchy and objectives. A master of Armament and Observation Haki, he later awakens Conqueror’s Haki in battle. Post-timeskip refinement under Mihawk’s tutelage sharpened his prowess, marked by a long dark green coat. His bounty surges from 60,000,000 to 1,111,000,000, reflecting escalating threats confronted. Across films and OVAs, he remains a tactical force, often challenging adversaries second only to the strongest foe to safeguard his crew. Non-canon depictions like *Stampede* mirror his core ethos: unyielding adherence to a swordsman’s code, resilience in crisis, and silent dedication to his captain’s authority. His evolution underscores strategic combat adaptability, Haki mastery, and an unwavering resolve to uphold both his oath and crew’s ambitions.
