The first mate and swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates, Roronoa Zoro was the first person to join Luffy's crew. Zoro uses a Three-Sword-Style during combat, although he is a formidible opponent even when unarmed. Before Zoro joined Luffy's crew, he was a bounty hunter who specialized in hunting pirates. His sword skills are second only to the legendary Dracule Mihawk, and his dream is to surpass Mihawk to become the world's greatest swordsman.
Zoro's promise to his childhood friend Kuina is the defining characteristic of his early years. Everything he's done, is doing, and will do is in pursuit of the title 'strongest' for both himself and Kuina. In general, he does one of three things on-stage: sleep, fight, or eat/drink. Zoro is a very focused sort, often providing keen insight into matters he doesn't know much about. Comically, his sense of direction is terrible, and his fellow crewmembers frequently find themselves without his aid as he wanders around unable to find his way to the fight. One of the most notable examples of this was in the Alabasta arc when he managed to leave Alubarna itself far behind him. Wise beyond his years, he's grown tremendously in skill and power during the manga, and will likely continue to forge on with friendship and insight.
In battle, Zoro's Three-Sword-Style, or "Santoryu," is devastating to almost every opponent. He has been seen to use One-Sword-Style ("Ittoryu") and Two-Sword-Style ("Nitoryu") moves from time-to-time, with two-swords being his style of choice before Kuina's death. At one point, he has even used No-Sword-Style (Mutou-Ryu) to great effect, but this was a unique circumstance where he could not use his swords. All of Zoro's moves have an off-beat pun in them, often meaning something silly in addition to the attack's more menacing meaning. It is unclear whether Zoro does this on purpose, but it would not be out of character for these puns to be accidental. What doesn't change from technique to technique is the raw power behind them: Zoro has been seen to lift a tremendous building with his bare hands.
Even before the story began, Zoro was acclaimed as the "Pirate Hunter" of East Blue, so from day one (or Chapter 3) onward, in East Blue, he was almost always recognized. That name changed after he defeated Mr. 1 ("Daz Bones") at Arabasta when he became an official World Government target with a bounty of sixty million Beli. He often taunts Sanji about the 60,000,000 gap between them and the general lack of recognition that Sanji recieves to the cook's great annoyance.
Zoro's Past
As a boy, Zoro was trained at a dojo which specialized in the art of swordsmanship. As he grew in skill, Zoro was among the best in the dojo and was capable of defeating both boys and adults even at an early age. But there was one person who he simply could not defeat -- his rival, an older girl named Kuina. Suffering his 2000th consectutive defeat by her hands, Zoro laments that his two-sword-style cannot best her one-sword style. Kuina is amused that he simply cannot beat her, which prompts speculation by the other boys that Koshiro, the dojo Sensei and Kuina's father, had been giving her secret training.
Angrily throwing his two shinai swords down, he shouts with all his might that he'll sail to become the world's greatest swordsman, and that he shall never lose to anyone again.
Training at night, Kuina turns to see Zoro, who was equipped with two real katana, challenging her to another duel. Kuina, wielding her Wadou Ichimonji katana, charges towards Zoro's two blades. After a flurry of sword attacks, Zoro's two katana are knocked out of his hands and Kuina thrusts her blade down beside Zoro's head, enjoying her 2001st victory.
Crying with a hand over his face, Zoro could just not believe he cannot defeat her. It was then when Kuina said that she should be the one feeling upset because of the great strength difference between males and females as they grow up. Zoro listens in silence as Kuina tells him about her father's statements, declaring that women could never be the the world's greatest. With tears flowing down her cheeks, she tells Zoro that she wants to be the world's best, too. "If only I were a boy..."
Zoro finally rages at Kuina and demands to know why she's telling him this after his defeat. Hearing Kuina's words were just unfair as his ambition was to become like her. Continuing to shout, Zoro asks Kuina if it meant that the day he defeats her was not because of his strength, but because grown males and females eventually had a physical strength difference. It'd make Zoro look a fool who had trained day in and day out just to defeat her. He decides that they should make a promise that one day, one of them must become the greatest swordsman of the world. Under the moonlight, the promise between them was made.
The next day, Zoro was told of a tragic accident: Kuina had fallen down a flight of stairs and died. Restrained by the boys, he is furious at Kuina for what happened because they had just made a promise the night before. Thinking that by dying she was running away, Zoro is silenced by Koshiro, who tells him that human beings are very fragile. It was then when Zoro bowed to his Sensei, asking to be gifted with Kuina's katana. With Kuina's katana in both hands, Zoro vows that he will become the world's greatest swordsman and would be so great that the heavens would know his name.
When Zoro reached adulthood, he left the dojo and began to sail the seas on a journey to fulfill his oath. Eventually getting lost at sea and unable to find his way home again, he had no choice but to hunt pirates for their bounties in order to have money for food. It was because of this, he gained the title "Pirate Hunter" and was known to be a demon to all who knew his name.
Shortly after stopping at Orange Town, Zoro was arrested for killing Helmeppo's pet wolf to protect Rika. Zoro agreed to be taken prisoner for one month to atone for this deed. Three days before Helmeppo planned to doublecross Zoro and hold an unexpected public execution, Luffy and Coby arrive at Orange Town to meet the infamous Pirate Hunter Zoro in hopes of adding a second person to Luffy's pirate crew.
