Roronoa Zoro,[1] also known as Pirate Hunter Zoro,[8] is the combatant of the Straw Hat Pirates, and one of their two swordsmen. Formerly a bounty hunter,[5] he is the second member of the crew and the first to join, doing so in the Romance Dawn Arc.[3]

As a master of Santoryu, a swordsmanship style which he created during his childhood training in Shimotsuki Village, Zoro is among the four most powerful combatants of the Straw Hats, alongside Luffy, Sanji and Jinbe.[20][21] His dream is to become the greatest swordsman in the world, in order to honor a promise he made to his deceased childhood friend Kuina.[22]

In addition to his infamy as one of the Straw Hats and as a former bounty hunter, Zoro is also regarded as one of twelve pirates who are referred to as the Worst Generation.[23]

He currently has a bounty of Beli.png320,000,000.[17]
