Wano Country

The Wano Country is a nation in the New World. It is a country not affiliated with the World Government.

Wano Country has its own warriors, the samurai (侍), swordsmen so strong that not even the Marines go near them. It was first mentioned by Hogback, as Ryuma was from there. In the Wano Country, women are expected to walk behind men and speak gracefully and quietly. In addition, the topknot is a common hairstyle.

At one point in time, Portgas D. Ace went to the Wano Country and learned how to make a kasa for Little Oars Jr.
