Cipher Pol

Cipher Pol (サイファーポール) is a series of World Government organizations. They are first mentioned by name in Chapter 325 and Episode 230.

About
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 a 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 9 has the license to kill any citizen that does not cooperate with the World Government or acts in contrary to the interests of the World Government. Because such a radical method of applying justice by the World Government should not be common knowledge, this group is a top secret organization.

In order to exceed the limits of the human body, CP9 agents receive special training since their childhood. In order to become a full-fledged member of CP9, the agents must master a martial arts style that is called Rokushiki. The training also has somewhat of a mind-molding process so that Cipher Pol agents only learn how to be assassins and that this is their only profession. Lucci, for example, was not capable of feeling gratitude or mercy. Kaku, on the other hand, loved being a shipwright but was forced to leave it behind; he seemed to have shown regret at this decision, but ultimately did not hold back when he was fulfilling his duties. The members received individual training, but they also trained together a lot.

The other eight divisions seems to rely on grunt agents who rely on firearms and political powers and, in certain cases, a top fighter. Other than that, they are little in comparison to the secret division.
