Mimawarigumi

The Mimawarigumi are a squad of samurai who directly serve Kurozumi Orochi, the shogun of Wano Country. Their captain of the squad is Hotei.

With the death of Orochi by Kaido's hands, the Mimawarigumi swore loyalty to Kaido, effectively becoming part of the Beasts Pirates.

Overview
Mimawarigumi are a group of elite samurais well respected in the Flower Capital, capable enough to be entrusted by Orochi to be his personal bodyguards alongside the Orochi Oniwabanshu.

Wano Country Arc
After the chaos caused by the Straw Hat Pirates at Rasetsu Town, the Mimawarigumi arrived at the Flower Capital to provide extra security.

On the day of the Fire Festival, they accompanied Orochi to Onigashima, where they were introduced to the crowd by Queen. As Kaido announced the New Onigashima Project, the Mimawarigumi witnessed Kaido betraying and beheading Orochi, and the group was offered the choice to join the Beasts Pirates or die.

Translation and Dub Issues
In the Viz translation of Chapter 951, the Mimawagumi are not distinguished by name. Instead, the line referring to the group simply reads "...with samurai and and ninja on patrol in every quarter!!". The Viz translation first gives the name "Mimawarigumi" in Chapter 978.

Trivia

 * The group may have been inspired by Kyoto Mimawarigumi, a special police force that operated in the Kyoto region during the Edo period.
 * The Mimawarigumi also wore Haori with sleeves trimmed with mountain stripes similar to the Shisengumi, a famous special police force that also operated in the Kyoto region during the Edo period.
