Personality
She sees herself as the most beautiful lady in all of the seas; if someone disagrees, she will smash the offender with her iron mace. She imprisoned Koby to be her cabin boy after he boarded her ship by accident. Disliking filth and laziness, her crew was forced to clean the entire deck, if there is even a hint of dust she will once again smash the offender with her club. People used to say she was the most beautiful woman in the world to avoid being hit by her club, these days they really mean it.

It is noted that since Luffy was the first man to defeat her, Alvida has become quite infatuated with him; he doesn't seem to quite understand those feelings.

Abilities and Powers
Alvida is skilled at using a club during a fight, and as a result of her Devil Fruit she is immune to most physical damage.

Attacks


 * Kanabou/(Iron Club): an unnamed attack where Alvida smashes an opponenet with her massive iron mace.


 * Sube Sube Spur/Slip Slip Tracks: Buggy's crew sets up a ramp for Alvida. She takes off her sandals and slides down it with her Sube Sube no Mi powers and slides along the ground at about the same speed as Buggy's Bara Bara Car.

History
In the beginning of the series, Alvida's underlings unintentionally save Monkey D. Luffy from a watery death and, after learning from Koby about how she is forcing him to work for her, Alvida is defeated by Luffy.




 * Note: Due the change in the storyline, in the anime Luffy is saved by the crew of a ship Alvida and her pirates attack.

Later on, she comes back with the power of the Sube Sube no Mi (スベスベの実 Slip Slip Fruit). In Loguetown, she helps Buggy the Clown attempt to execute Luffy, but fails once more. She is currently with Buggy's pirate crew, with her own crew nowhere in sight.

Trivia

 * It is interesting to note that Alvida is the first character in the series to have eaten the Devil Fruit after encountering the Straw Hat Pirates.
