One Piece: Who Does Zoro Marry? Could It Be Hiyori?

The term “ship” in terms of anime is actually a shortened version of the word “relationship” and represents fan-based relationships between the characters in the series. So, if you think that two characters would be great as a couple, you’re “shipping” them together. As far as One Piece ships are concerned, one of the most often discussed characters in this category is Roronoa Zoro, who is, incidentally, one of the most popular characters in the series as well. In this article, we have decided to explain to you whether Roronoa Zoro ends up marrying anyone in the series and whether that person is Kozuki Hiyori from the Wano Country Arc.

At this moment, Roronoa Zoro does not have a love interest and is not married. As far as things stand, Zoro is not concerned with marriage and will not marry, although he might end up with someone later. As for Kozuki Hiyori, she is quite close to Zoro, and the two became close friends in Wano, but it doesn’t seem like they’ll end up marrying.

The rest of this article will explore the potential marriage of Roronoa Zoro, one of the most popular characters in the series. We will explore Roronoa Zoro’s personality, as well as some of the most popular ships involving him and the characters seen in One Piece, telling you the probabilities of them ending up married. This article won’t contain too many spoilers, but still, be careful how you approach it if you don’t know the whole story.

Will Zoro marry Hiyori in One Piece?

Before we actually tell you the answer, let us first explore the relationship between Hiyori and Zoro in the series. Hiyori recovered her wounds and spoke graciously to Zoro after he had saved her from Kamazo. She now seemed to have entire faith in him after Zoro indicated that he was an ally and that he knew Momonosuke.

Hiyori’s renewed faith in him was evident when she slept beside him, but Zoro was startled and upset when he awoke. Even though Zoro spared her life, she begs him to give Wano Shusui in exchange for giving her father’s sword, Enma, to Wano. Hiyori demonstrates her unwavering confidence in Zoro by refraining from accusing him of stealing and by turning over Enma to him despite Kawamatsu’s objections.

As you can see, Hiyori and Zoro became really close as time passed, but this seems to be a friendly relationship more than anything else, at least for now. Zoro is a very goal-driven character, and he does not seem to be interested in any kind of romance at the moment, let alone marriage. From that aspect, Hiyori is just a good friend of his and not his wife. Is there any potential? Sure, but not more than with any other female character Zoro has gotten close with over the years. So no, Zoro is not married to Hiyory, and they are unlikely to marry.

Who could Roronoa Zoro marry?

In this section, we are going to discuss some other potential marriage candidates for Roronoa Zoro:

Nico Robin

Zoro was the only one on the team who didn’t trust Robin after the Alabasta Arc (he was the sole member she could not really bribe or “charm”). Later on, he demonstrates his willingness to defend her when she is at risk. He, for example, apprehended her as she was about to be killed by Enel and was the first to rush to her support when Aokiji confronted her.

After the Enies Lobby Arc, Zoro began to trust Robin completely, and the two of them got along well with each other. According to Usopp, they always speak coldly, even if they say scary things. He began to show the same willingness to risk his life to protect her as the rest of the team. Among the Straw Hats, Zoro and Robin are the calmest and most serious in any situation.

Zoro and Nico Robin seem like a potentially good couple, but if they were to marry, it seems like they would have to work on their marriage a lot, and we’re not sure that the chance of them ending up married is that high.

Nami

Nami has faith in Zoro’s fighting abilities and frequently relies on them; however, she is quite often irritated by his slacker antics, e.g., his excessive sleeping. Like the rest of the team, Zoro fully trusts her navigational abilities and always obeys her commands. Nami’s cleverness makes it possible to manipulate the always-introverted swordsman into perpetual debt, and as a result, they frequently argue, usually resulting in Sanji’s intervention.

But besides this, they both happen to be Straw Hats’ top drinkers. Zoro is concerned about her safety and frequently comes to her aid. In Skypiea, he was constantly concerned that Nami would be swallowed; in Thriller Bark, he wondered if Sanji could save Nami, even though he himself was in danger, as Franky emphasized. He also saved her from an attack by Monet on Punk Hazard and Dressrosa. He rushed to save the ship, where Nami was staying, from Doflamingo; he was the only person who stayed with the sick Nami when the others explored the iland, and he took over her navigator functions so she could rest.

Nami does seem like a somewhat interesting pick, and they could potentially work because they’re quirky, but knowing how they can get on each other’s nerves, it would definitely be a dynamic marriage, which is why we don’t think it is that possible either.

Tashigi

Tashigi appears to harbor a deep resentment towards Roronoa Zoro. She challenges him to a sword fight after discovering his true identity. Zoro beats her, but she is unwilling to concede defeat unless he actually cuts her. Tashigi’s goal is to defeat Zoro and bring him to Wado Ichimonji because she believes such a renowned sword shouldn’t be in the hands of a criminal; much later, she realizes that Zoro also has the Shusui, which piques her interest even more. She is obviously starting to respect his massive strength upon seeing his advanced skills after two years of sharpening them under Mihawk.

Although it is the odd one on this list, seeing Tashigi and Zoro end up together would not surprise us. They’re on opposite sides, but there is enough attraction between them to make it work, and it would be a truly great story of reconciliation between the Pirates and the Marines from Luffy’s new, free world.
