Kalifa (カリファ, Karifa?), Iceburg's secretary, is a young woman who is very good at predicting Iceburg's needs, as well as keeping him on track. As his secretary, she is in charge of keeping track of his meetings and canceling them if it is required; however, she also accompanies him everywhere and gets things together for him before he even asks for them. Normally she is very calm and composed; however, if somebody insults Iceburg, she is very quick to anger, telling them that they are rude and kicking them rapidly in the face. Kalifa is very rarely seen away from Iceburg's side. She seems to care for Iceburg very much, and is very upset when anything happens to him.

CP9 Agent
Although she served as Iceburg's secretary for (probably) 5 years, Kalifa eventually reveals herself to be a member of CP9. She also shows that she is handy with using a thorn whip along with Rokushiki. On their arrival at Enies Lobby, Kalifa and Kaku were given Devil Fruits by Spandam, and they ate them under the encouragement of the other CP9 members (particularly Lucci). It is also known that before Kalifa ate the devil fruit, she was the weakest of all the fighting CP9 members. Now that she has eaten a fruit it is unknown if her power has surpassed the second weakest member (which would be Fukurou).

She is also an outspoken feminist, and considers men's speech, actions, and existence (especially Spandam) sexual harassment. That being said, she never hesitated to use her femininity to her utmost advantage in her battle with Sanji, where she teased and pummeled him rather than demanding "equal treatment". Adding to this, the following Kalifa vs. Nami fight boasted arguably the greatest amount of fanservice in the history of the series.

Although it initially seemed that Kalifa would fight Sanji in Enies Lobby, he was temporaily defeated by her, as he believed that even death was preferable to harming a woman. She turned Sanji into a slippery mannequin, due to her Awa Awa no Mi (アワアワの実 Bubble Bubble Fruit), which turns her into a soap-woman. Her foam can not only clean off dirt, but can also "cleanse" a person's power, essentially draining one's energy and leaving them clean and shiny, which is what she had done to Sanji and Nami in her fights with them. It seems that her power's weakness is water. She was defeated by Nami with a new move of hers, Thunder Lance Tempo, which runs her through.
