Kuri

Kuri is a region of Wano Country formerly under the rule of the Kozuki Family.

Citizens
The residents of Kuri include the daimyo, Kozuki Oden, his family, and four of their retainers: Kin'emon, Kanjuro, and Raizo, and O-Tama. Baboonmaru, Komacchiyo, and O-Tama's master also reside there.

Past
Kin'emon was born in Kuri, and served as a retainer for the Kozuki Family.

Recently, the Beasts Pirates have been occupying Wano Country and have taken over most of the country's regions. One of the country's daimyo, Kozuki Oden, was executed by Kaido and the resident shogun for refusing to give out information about the "True History" that he found out during his time as a member of the Roger Pirates. This caused Oden's son, Kozuki Momonosuke, and three of his retainers, Kin'emon, Kanjuro, and Raizo to flee the country and journey to Zou, where they could meet with the two leaders of the Mink Tribe, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi. For safety reasons, Momonosuke was instructed by Kin'emon to pretend to be his own son.

While at a market in Kuri, O-Tama was overheard by members of the Beast Pirates as she was talking about the Kozuki Family, and they captured her.

Wano Country Arc
When Komacchiyo tried to save O-Tama, the Beast Pirates sent Baboonmaru to attack and chase it. They ran into Monkey D. Luffy, who stipped the beasts fighting, defeated a few members of the Beast Pirates, and freed O-Tama. O-Tama brought Luffy back to her home to feed him, but O-Tama's master attacked Luffy after he unknowingly ate O-Tama's only food. She drank polluted river water, caused by Kaido's factories, and became ill after trying to stop their scuffle.

Trivia

 * The location Kuri means "Nine Li", Li being a unit of measurement originating from China, but adopted in Korea and Japan, roughly being 500, 393, and 3927 meters, respectively. Since Wano Country is based on Japan, Kuri may be translated as "35,345 meters" or "21.96 miles".
