One Piece: All Known Cipher Pol Agencies & Members Explained!

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

The structure of Cipher Pol explained

There are a total of 10 individual Cipher Pol agencies that form part of Cipher Pol as the collective title of the organization. The Cipher Pols from CP1 to CP8 are located in eight bases in different parts of the world and aim to identify and recover any information useful to the World Government. They base their strength on weapons and, in some cases, on high-level fighters.

Although officially there are only eight Cipher Pols, there are two more, namely the CP9 and the CP0. They enjoy privileges not in the public domain, including the ability to kill anyone perceived as a threat to the World Government. They generally don’t deal with simple pirates or criminals but with bigger threats, such as the one posed by 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 are taught techniques called Rokushiki.

It is also instilled in their minds that their duty is to become assassins under the orders of the World Government, stronger than justice itself. Before it was destroyed, their base was Enies Lobby. The CP0 is believed to be the strongest of all and is under the direct command of the world nobles.

Although it is known that there are ten of them, only CP0 and CP9 have been explored in more detail, while the others… well, we know only a member or two, and that’s about it.

CP0

CP0 is the final and most enigmatic group within Cipher Pol. They don’t seem to have a specialization, but they are considered to be the strongest group that has to deal with the toughest situations.

It is said that if they are present somewhere, an event that could change the world is about to happen.

Known members:

His fate is unknown, but he is presumed to be 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 been shown to be very sadistic and not afraid to kill those she deems necessary.

• Joseph is another CP0 agent who is also a member of the Longarm Tribe. His mask looks like that of a clown. As with Gismonda, not much is known about him.
