During Tokugawa's close door policy there were plenty of Japanese Pirates harassing China sea and plenty fo smuggling between China and Japan... 
Besides if Wano is supposed be a representation of Shogunate Japan than that close-door policy is not even a complete close door...

Lastly, if pirates are off-limit how come Ace said he when to the Wano Country and learned how to make the hat Oar Jr. wore?
Like I said, you don't need to physically claim territories to operate smuggling and human trafficking...
No mob boss put up a flag says "here is the base of XXX, home of human trafficking, smuggling, and information dealing!!!" |
Marines/Government doesn't go there. Is that hard to understand for you?
We don't know the details on how went there.
I don't know how old this pic is but theres a swordsman who wears a kasa.. this might be the guy. Luffy will meet him when they get to Wano Island.
