The One Piece World Government, as we know, has several organizations, and since it is a government, it must also have an intelligence agency. The term Cipher Pol refers to this series of intelligence agencies that are part of the World Government, called CPX, where the X represents the organization number. In this article, we will focus on the agencies as we will explain the structure of Cipher Pol.

Cipher Pol Structure Explained

There are a total of 10 individual Cipher Pol agencies that are part of Cipher Pol as the organization's collective title. Cipher Pols from CP1 to CP8 are located in eight bases around the world and are dedicated to identifying and recovering any information useful to the World Government. They rely on weapons and, in some cases, high-level fighters.

Although officially there are only eight Cipher Pols, there are two others, namely CP9 and CP0. They enjoy privileges that are not in the public domain, including the ability to kill anyone perceived as a threat to the World Government. They generally do not target simple pirates or criminals, but rather larger threats, such as the Revolutionary Army. CP9 agents are trained in Guanhao since childhood so that, over time, they are able to overcome the limitations of the human body and learn techniques called Rokushiki.

They are also taught that their duty is to become assassins under the orders of the World Government, which is stronger than justice itself. Before its destruction, their base was Enies Lobby. The CP0 is considered the strongest of all and is under the direct command of the world's nobles.

Although we know there are ten of them, only CP0 and CP9 have been explored in more detail, while the others… well, we only know about one or two members, and that's it.

CP5

CP5 was led by Spandam, and while their specialty was now known, they were capable of stealth, flight, navigation, and the use of special weapons. None of the other members, except Spandam, were identified. They were tasked with retrieving Pluto and were later sent to Egghead to investigate Vegapunk.

Known members:

• Spandam is a member of the World Government who was the former leader of CP5, with whom he carried out some secret missions to obtain the secret plans of Pluto. After losing to the Mugiwara pirate gang in Enie's Hall and abandoning his unit, Spandam became a member of CP0 two years after the Battle of Marineford.

CP6

CP6 is one of the Cipher Pol groups tasked with helping CP9 recover Nico Robin. Their specialty is unknown. Sanji defeated them, and their current status is unknown. Only their leader, Jerry, has been identified.

Known members:

• Jerry is a CP6 agent and the king of an island in the South Blue, famous for practicing karate. Jerry is tasked with transporting prisoners Nico Robin, Usopp, and Franky from Water 7 to Enies Lobby and is stationed in the rearmost car of the Puffing Tom Sea Train when the pirate Sanji suddenly appears. A short fight ensues between the two, which the pirate Mugiwara is able to win with a single attack.

CP7

CP7 is a group within Cipher Pol. Their specialty is also unknown, but they were also sent to assist CP9 in retrieving Nico Robin, like CP6. Although they were defeated, they were later sent to Egghead. Only one member has been identified, and that is Wanze, their "ace."

Known members:

• Wanze is a World Government agent and member of CP7. He practices ramen kenpo, a culinary martial art. Wanze is tasked with guarding the prisoner Nico Robin and waits in the fourth car, the kitchen car.
• He first offers all three of them freshly made ramen, but they decline, and a fight ensues. Initially, the agent is able to dodge Sanji's attacks, but soon takes his first major blow when he attacks the gang's cook Mugiwara with Menkiri Fireskate, and he delivers twelve kicks to the face in return.

CP8

CP8 is a group within Cipher Pol, but their specialty is also unknown. They were first mentioned when they arrived on a mission to Egghead, but little has been revealed about them and their role in the series. No individual members of CP8 have yet been identified.

CP9

CP9 was an "unofficial" special task force within Cipher Pol, specializing in assassinations. They were eventually defeated by the Straw Hats in Ennies Hall, after which their status remains unknown. All members of CP9 were reassigned to CP0.

Known members:

• Spandam, who was originally the leader of CP5 before being transferred to CP9.
• Rob Lucci is a former World Government agent deployed under Spandam at CP9 to obtain the Pluton. After the events of Enies Lobby, he defected along with his entire unit, but two years later, he is back in service with the World Government in the CP0 unit – as Spandam's superior.
• Kaku is a former World Government agent and was a member of CP9 along with Rob Lucci, who is his close friend. After the events of Enies Lobby, he defected along with his entire unit, led by Lucci, but was later recruited into CP0.
• Jabra is also a former CP9 agent who now works for CP0. In Enies Hall, Sanji defeated him, after which he defected along with Lucci and their entire unit.
• Blueno is one of the CP9 agents tasked with retrieving the Pluto plans. He always maintains a poker face. With his Devil Fruit, he can open doors on people, objects, or in the air. He worked for several years as a bartender at Water Seven.
• Kumadori physically resembles kabuki actors and is a very melodramatic type who often expresses himself through poems and haikus. He usually blames himself for the mistakes made by others, and sometimes he mortifies himself over trifles, threatening to commit harakiri even over stupid things. He always carries a kind of bō staff with him, which he uses in combat.
• Fukuro has the distinction of having a large zipper instead of a mouth, but despite this, he cannot keep a fact to himself and tends to reveal CP9's secrets to everyone. He is defeated by Franky at Enies Lobby. He is only stronger than Kalifa, but unlike the others, he possesses a special ability that allows him to measure a person's physical strength after being hit.
• Kalifa is the only female agent of CP9 and one of Water Seven's undercover agents. She appears serious and pragmatic with a short temper, and enjoys ridiculing her boss, Spandam, by accusing him of sexual harassment. She initially uses a sharp-tipped whip as a weapon but also possesses a Devil Fruit.
• Nero was a new member of CP9 when he debuted in the series. Nicknamed "Sea Weasel," he fights with two pistols. He is assigned to guard the Puffing Tom's third car, where he confronts Franky and is defeated. Disgusted by his weakness and lack of self-control, Rob Lucci hits him with Shigans on the back and throws him into the sea.
• Spandine was the head of CP9 twenty years before the current events and Spandam's father. Like his son, he lacks any skills, unlike his subordinates, and comes across as a cowardly and self-righteous man. Spandine led Ohara's investigation and was the one who shot Professor Clover before he could reveal the name of the Old Empire to the World Government.
• Laskey was a CP9 agent under Spandine and part of the group that investigated the Ohara incident. He is also Kalifa's father. His fate after the Ohara incident remains a mystery.
• Who's-Who was a former CP9 agent tasked with protecting the Gomu Gomu no Mi. After failing to do so, he was dismissed and imprisoned as a traitor. He later escaped and became a target of the World Government.
• Two pets, a white dove named Hattori and an elephant named Funkfreed, who is actually a sword, were also part of the group.

CP0

CP0 is the last and most enigmatic group in Cipher Pol. They don't appear to have any specializations, but they are considered the strongest group when faced with the most difficult situations. Unlike the other groups, they are not under the control of the World Government, but rather under the direct control of the World Nobles. It is said that if they are present anywhere, a world-changing event is about to occur.

Known members:

• Guernica is a CP0 agent who was in Wano Country. He appears to be a very high-ranking member of CP0 and one of their most trusted agents. He is extremely powerful and can easily defeat Izou, but Kaido ends up maiming him because he interrupted his fight. It is currently unknown whether he is alive or dead.
• Beaucoup is a masked CP0 agent who wears a tribal mask. He was in Wano Country during the fall of Big Mom and Kaidou, alongside Guernica, and was ultimately defeated by Izou during their confrontation. Not much is known about him, except that he was undoubtedly a powerful figure and played a relatively important role in Wano Country, as the World Nobles entrusted him with a dangerous and important task. His fate is unknown, but he is presumed dead.
• Stussy is an undercover CP0 agent. She is known in the underworld as "The Queen of the Red Light District." She is very polite and composed and does not tolerate insults. However, she has proven to be very sadistic and is not afraid to kill anyone she deems necessary.
• Gismonda is a masked CP0 agent. He has a tall figure and generally looks intimidating, but not much is known about him, even though he is a great professional.
• Joseph is another CP0 agent who is also a member of the Longarm tribe. His mask resembles that of a clown. Like Gismonda, little is known about him.
• Three unnamed members were seen in a short scene.
• Former CP9 agents Rob Lucci, Spandam, Kaku, Jabra, Blueno, Kumadori, Fukuro, Kalifa, Funkfreed and Hattori, the dove.
