Guernica

Guernica is a member of the intelligence agency CP0.

Due to his actions and role, he is a supporting antagonist during the Wano Country Arc.

Appearance


Guernica wears a white bowler hat, a dark purple and blue polka dotted scarf, a white long coat, and what looks like a dark blue, light yellow-gold, red award ribbon on his blazer. He wears his tie loosely. He has a flat face with a thin mustache and beard, a scar under his light-colored right eye, and markings under his pure black left eye. What appears to be a mask seems more likely to be white make-up, as his mouth was moving while he addressed the people.

Personality
Like most of CP0's agents, Guernica is professional and prioritizes his missions above all else. However, he can be quick to anger as shown when he attacked Apoo at point blank range for calling him and Joseph the Celestial Dragons' dogs, and was even willing to eliminate Drake, an undercover agent of SWORD who he considers to be an inconvenience. He also expressed envy towards the latter for his self-determination.

Abilities and Powers
Guernica's overall abilities remain mostly unseen. However, the fact he wears a mask puts him among the top operatives of CP0, according to Nico Robin.

He usually acts as a spokesperson for the organization as a whole. The Five Elders consider him to be one of their finest agents.

During their pursuit of Robin, Guernica and Maha defeated various powerful individuals present at Onigashima, including numerous Mink warriors, and two members of the Worst Generation (Apoo and X Drake).

Physical Abilities
Guernica displayed a great degree of stamina and endurance, showing few signs of exhaustion after multiple battles. He dove through Kazenbo and emerged unscathed, despite being engulfed in flames in the process. Apoo's sound-based explosion, which was powerful enough to temporarily knock Luffy unconscious, had little effect on him. Even getting stabbed through the back with a sword by X Drake did not stop him from reaching the top of Onigashima to interfere in Luffy and Kaidou's battle.

Rokushiki
As an agent of CP0, the elite Cipher Pol agency, Guernica is a master assassin and user of Rokushiki. He was shown to have access to Shigan, Soru and Tekkai. His Tekkai was strong enough to hold back Luffy in his Boundman form, allowing Kaidou to land a near fatal attack.

Dressrosa Arc


Guernica, Joseph and Gismonda traveled to Dressrosa in order to dismiss the previously reported revocation of Donquixote Doflamingo from the Seven Warlords of the Sea as a printing mistake to the country's population. They also insisted that the citizens remain quiet about this until the new report was published.

The three agents later wandered around the island and were spotted by Nico Robin, Trafalgar Law, Caesar Clown, and Usopp.

Wano Country Arc
In the Flower Capital, Guernica, Maha, and Joseph negotiated with Shogun Kurozumi Orochi about the new supply of weapons to the World Government after the arrest of Donquixote Doflamingo. Due to Orochi's surreal demands, CP0 was unable to agree to his terms.



On the day of the Fire Festival, Guernica and the two other agents stayed in Onigashima's guest room and used a go board to track the forces during the raid on Onigashima, with Joseph in particular praising the planning and execution of the raid from the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance. Joseph also discussed Who's-Who's situation as a former Cipher Pol agent and how they should deal with him, although he did not think there was much harm in Who's-Who's survival due to his classified intel being relatively outdated.

Trivia

 * His name is likely derived from Pablo Picasso's painting Guernica, an anti-war painting created in response to the Spanish Civil War.
 * He and his fellow CP0 agent Maha may also share a reference to the Japanese writer Maha Harada and her book Guernica Undercover (暗幕のゲルニカ), which focuses on the aforementioned painting.
