Alvida

Alvida (アルビダ Arubida) was captain of the Alvida Pirates Crew and the first foe encountered in the present timeline. Acording to her wanted poster in the anime, her name is spelled Aluvida (ep. 45); however, in the manga her name is shown to be spelled "Alvida".

Appearence
Originally, Alvida was a very obese and ugly woman.

The Sube Sube no Mi makes Alvida very skinny and, aside from the cowboy hat she wears, Alvida looks totally different from her original form, now dressed in a bikini top and wears a furcoat like a cape.

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.

Allies
Alvida nows travels with Buggy, though only because they have a common person they wish to find (Luffy). She, however, does not seem to tolerate Buggy and his crews constant noise making and asked his crew to not be so noisy.

Enemies
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. She showed little disappointment when Buggy tried to kill him during the Logue Town arc.

She is the prime enemy of Koby, who has not forgotten the years of hard labor and abuse she put him through. He had boldy stated it was pirates like her that he wished to arrest when he declared his actions to her.

Abilities and Powers
Before her transformation, Alvida was not a powerful fighter, as she was unable to land a single blow on Luffy before he defeated her. However, her club is still a deadly weapon, and it can kill a man with one blow. After gaining her Devil Fruit powers, her newly lubricated skin meant that many attacks, such as swords, merely slip off her, leaving her unharmed. She can also 'skate along on her bare feet at high speeds, but requires a ramp to get her started.

Captain Morgan Arc
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.

Loguetown Arc
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. When she and Buggy tries to pursue Luffy, she and the rest of the crew is captured by Smoker, and put in a Seastone Net, however she Buggy and the rest of the crew somehow later escapes and decides to head to the Grand Line to follow Luffy.

Curent Events(Spoilers)
She is currently with Buggy's pirate crew, with her own crew nowhere in sight. She is last seen when Buggy mistakes a cave for the place where Captain John burried his treasure, only to find some diggers working in it. She is then seen complaining about the noise of the crew, and surprised to see Ace, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
