Alpha is a member of the CP8 branch of Cipher Pol. She is the daughter of Laskey and the younger sister of CP0 agent Kalifa.

Appearance

Alpha's anime concept art.

Alpha is a slim, curvaceous woman with long light turquoise hair and sporting glasses and lipstick. She wears a typical nurse outfit with high stockings. Overall, she greatly resembles her sister Kalifa.

Personality

Alpha reminds Kuma what would happen to Bonney if he broke the agreement.

As a Cipher Pol agent, Alpha is primarily loyal to the World Government. While she comes off as a kind and friendly individual in her nurse persona, she is in fact a cold, intimidating killer with no qualms in assassinating a child if necessary.

Alpha is generally heartless (going by her unnecessary destruction of Kuma's letters to Bonney) and actually very sadistic and hot-blooded, being willing to brutalize Bonney and massacre her crew for tricking her and attempting to escape Sorbet during her watch.

When not working, she lightens up a bit. She has been shown to have little issue drinking and partying with her comrades, but can be careless and arrogant, revealing her deceptions while drunk and inadvertently blowing her cover as an agent.

Abilities and Powers

As a member of Cipher Pol, it can be presumed Alpha is a proficient Rokushiki user. She is at least strong enough to pulverize a small rock with her fingers, but otherwise stood no chance against Bonney's abilities.

Given Alpha's posing as a nurse, it can be presumed she has enough medical knowledge and skills to pass herself as one. However, this is questionable given that she gave Bonney placebos instead of real medicine. Likewise, neither her medical nor acting skills were enough to deceive the citizens of Sorbet Kingdom for long, as they figured out she was a Government undercover agent.

Rokushiki

Alpha is capable of using Geppo, using it to get across the ocean when chasing the Bonney Pirates.

History

Three and a half years ago, Alpha went to Bartholomew Kuma's church in the Sorbet Kingdom to watch over Bonney, claiming she would aid in the girl's rehabilitation from the Sapphire Scales disease treatment until the next year. Unbeknownst to Bonney, she was actually a Cipher Pol agent sent per Kuma's agreement with Saint Saturn to ensure Bonney did not leave the World Government's custody and that she did not maintain any contact with Kuma until his Pacifista modifications were complete. She proceeded to secure the church to prevent "suspicious individuals" from entering without identification, before Kuma left Bonney under her supervision.

For months, whenever a News Coo delivered a newspaper and a letter from Kuma, Alpha would have the newspaper brought inside the church while she tore apart every letter. Alpha would give Bonney medicine daily, although said medicine consisted of nothing more than a makeshift syrup. One day, when Bonney fought with Gyogyo, Alpha came in for a new dosage and noticed for a second that Bonney looked bigger than normal, but did not figure out the reason why thanks to Conney wisely asking the citizens to keep Bonney's abilities a secret.

Bonney defeats Alpha in one hit.

At age 9, Bonney's Sapphire Scales had disappeared completely and she wished to head outside, but Alpha denied it, stating that she was supposed to stay put for one more year, contrary to Vegapunk's estimations. After Bonney found out from Conney that Alpha was Cipher Pol agent and that her disease was already cured, she prepared to sneak out of the church while disguised as Conney and head for the port along with Gyogyo and the others. Alpha saw through the trickery and tried going after Bonney at sea, threatening to subdue her with non-lethal violence and kill all other witnesses. However, Bonney used her Devil Fruit abilities to make her arm bigger and punch Alpha into the ocean, defeating her.

Anime and Manga Differences

In the manga, it was left ambiguous as to who leaked Alpha and her comrades' true allegiance. The anime explicitly depicts Alpha as having unwittingly been the one to leak said information to the public while intoxicated.
