Cipher Pol (サイファーポール, Saifāru pōru) is an organization in the popular manga and anime series
One Piece. The Cipher Pols serve the
World Government along with the
Shichibukai (or Seven Warlords) and the
Navy, as a police force. The Cipher Pols number from 1-8; however, there is also a secret ninth Cipher Pol, Cipher Pol Number Nine (サイファーポールナンバーナイン, Saifāru pōru nanbā nain). 'Cipher' means number and 'Pol' is short for Police (as in
Interpol), giving Cipher Pol the meaning "Number Police" denoting the numbered squads (1-9). CP9 CP9 (シーピーナイン, Shī pī nain) is a "secret" organization, formed of people able to use Rokushiki, six powerful skills only known to its members. CP9 also has special privileges not available to normal Cipher Pol squadrons, like the ability to kill any person perceived as a threat to world stability. More recently, CP9 was gifted, under the authority of
Admiral Aokiji, the ability to initiate a "
Buster Call", a powerful strike force of ten warships which hunt down and destroy any particular criminal group unfortunate enough to be targeted, along with the island. There are currently eight members of CP9 (Formerly nine).
