Cipher Pol

About
Cipher Pol is a World Government organization. The various Cipher Pol cells are stationed throughout the world and investigate for the World Government. They supplement the Intelligence Branch of the World Government's Marine forces, but seem to operate more as an counter-insurgency agency that also has more general law enforcement duties. If they encounter pirates, they will apprehend them, but, as an agency, Cipher Pol seems to focus more on political threats to the World Government than more generic criminals. So far, the bulk of the CP agencies seen on the Grand Line are those groups number CP5 and above, which may indicate that CP1 through CP4 are based in the Blues while the higher units are based on the Grand Line. Of course, those four units may well be in the vast number of CP Agents that we see later in the story.

There are eight official Cipher Pols that are numbered from CP1 to CP8 with a single unofficial unit, which is named CP9. This Cipher Pol has the license to kill any citizen that does not cooperate with the World Government or acts contrary to the interests of the World Government. Under certain circumstances, this will even require the assassination of certain individuals. Because such a radical method of applying justice by one of the World Government should not be common knowledge, this group is a super secret organization.

In order to exceed the limits of the human body, CP9 agents receive special training beginning in their childhood. In order to become a full-fledged member of CP9, the agents must master a martial arts technique that is called Rokushiki.
