Samurai

Samurai are a class of warriors in Wano Country. Although the title is typically applied to swordsmen, it can also be used as a generic term for all Wano Country warriors.

Overview
The samurai of Wano Country are said to be so strong that Marines do not go near them.

Social Status
The samurai class (士族) have high social status in Wano Country. Anyone of samurai class may order or kill the lower class without legal repercussions, whether it is to retain their honor or for their self-serving reasons. For a lower class citizen to be married into the samurai class is considered an honor, which would be an insult to the samurai's honor if the said lower class refuses the proposal. 20 years ago, the Kozuki Family was known as one of the highest of the samurai classes, having not only existed for centuries in the country, but also having ruled the country as well, until the family was executed in an attack by the current Shogun of Wano Kurozumi Orochi and the Yonko Kaido. Certain samurai who have committed specific crimes or do not have any affiliation within the traditional samurai classes or families are known specifically as Rōnin, as Zoro quickly became known as a Rōnin throughout Wano after cutting down a magistrate, and being involved in several incidents since, all while under the alias of Zorojuro.
