Fictional biography

Zorro grew up in the village of Shimotsuki, in East Blue. There he attended the Kendo School with Kuina and Saga under the direction of Koshiro, Kuina's father. Zorro defeated almost every classmate in the Shinai fight (Japanese 竹刀, English bamboo sword), with the exception of Kuina, who Zorro defeated a total of 2000 times. His goal was to defeat her in a real sword fight, but Kuina died in an accident before the two could even fight. Zorro asked Kuina's father for the sword of his deceased friend, which he also got and which he has carried with him ever since. After his apprenticeship, Zorro went in search of Hawk Eye Mihawk Dulacre, the best swordsman in the world. On his journey he defeated many pirates and worked as a bounty hunter, after which he was later nicknamed the pirate hunter .

At the age of 19 he met the pirate Monkey D. Luffy , who saved him from his execution and whose newly founded pirate gang he joined in return. He was the first new member.

His current bounty is 320 million berries.

character

Zorro's goals are to defeat Hawk Eye and become the strongest swordsman. He never tries to give up in a fight, even if it would cost his life, for which he is considered by many to be insane or insane, as he gladly accepts the danger. In a serious fight he tends to tie a black headscarf around his head, which he usually wears on his left arm. Zorro is a very calm and serious person. However, he can also lose his temper in certain situations. He is very brave, strong-willed and adventurous. He is loyal to his captain Monkey D. Luffy and gives him the greatest confidence. Mostly he advocates that the rest of the gang do what Luffy says. Zorro exudes great authority and strength with enemies, whom he often scares with just his look. He often argues with the ship's cook Sanji about little things and there are often show fights between the two of them, who is the better one, even in often inappropriate situations. They also often tease each other with slogans to annoy the other. But Zorro appreciates Sanji and is always there for him.

Unlike the rest of his gang, he is ready to kill his enemies to protect his friends. The safety of his friends is very important to him, so he sacrificed himself to the samurai and was seriously injured. He is also often the first to save Luffy, Chopper and Brock when they fall into the sea.

Zorro has no sense of direction, so he almost always gets lost, even if there is actually nothing to get lost in.
