Lorenor Zorro
Few characters make an entrance quite like Lorenor Zorro, who stepped onto the page in the very first issue of One Piece back in 2001 — a Modern Age debut that doubled as the launch of one of the most celebrated manga series ever published. Brought to life by the visionary Eiichiro Oda and collected in German-language editions by Carlsen Comics, Zorro has been a fixture of this sprawling adventure across an impressive 22-year run. He keeps extraordinary company throughout those pages — sharing adventures with the likes of Monkey D. Ruffy, Nami, Tony Chopper, Brook, and Moji — and his very first appearance carries the weight of a key issue, making that 2001 debut a meaningful prize for any collector. With 52 catalog appearances and a place at the heart of One Piece from the very beginning, Lorenor Zorro is as foundational to this world as any character you'll find.
