They will be fired then either killed or arrested. Due to their extreme power, it seems that they all have rather arrogant and pompous attitudes because of this, members of CP9 absolutely refuse to believe that "pirate scum" (no matter how powerful) could defeat them, which ultimately caused their downfall at the hands of the Straw Hat Pirates.įailure is unacceptable for CP9 and any member who does fail or is defeated will face harsh punishment. It was also stated that this generation of CP9 is the strongest in its history. It has been said that Enies Lobby's reputation of being impossible to conquer is due to the generations of CP9, and their strength. The CP9 are based in Enies Lobby's Tower of Justice, where they act as the final guardians of the Gates of Justice. The other group was sent to crush certain Revolutionary Army members, led by Jabra and having Fukurou and Kumadori under him. One group consists of Kaku, Blueno, Kalifa, and the leader, Lucci this group was sent to Water 7 to retrieve the blueprints of the Ancient Weapon Pluton from Iceburg.

ĬP9 had been subdivided into two teams when the whole group was not needed for a mission. Rob Lucci, the most powerful member in the organization's history, had become almost incapable of mercy or accepting weakness due to this However, younger members such as Kaku have demonstrated a wider array of emotions and even compassion, proving the mind-molding is not always successful. Members are gathered at childhood, and are trained both physically and mentally to become powerful killers, discarding emotions in order to become more efficient in missions. Unlike the eight official Cipher Police groups, CP9 members are not centered on intelligence gathering, but instead specialized in covert assassination of targets deemed a threat to the World Government.
