Cipher Pol Number 9, also known as CP9, is a special group that works for the World Government in One Piece. This group was created by the users of the Rokushiki, and thus every member holds tremendous power up their sleeve. Unlike the Cipher Pol groups that come before it, this group doesn’t specialize in intelligence gathering.
Instead, they’re known for their incredible ability to assassinate others and wipe out all those who stand in the World Government’s way. One Piece’s Water 7 Saga Introduced fans to them as the main antagonists and revealed the stunning power of all their members.
10 Spandam
Spandam is the former Chief of the CP9, succeeding his father, Spandine, years after the Ohara Incident. Out of all the members of the group, Spandam was certainly the weakest despite being the Chief. In combat, Fukurou mentioned that Spandam was even weaker than an average Marine soldier. Spandam did, however, have his trusty sword Funkfreed with him. Funkfreed ate the Zoan type Zou Zou no Mi, giving it the power to become an elephant at will.
With its powers, Spandam could somewhat fight strong people, however, the fact remains that he was still the weakest CP9 member by quite a margin. Currently, Spandam has somehow been promoted to CP0, but he doesn’t have the same level of power that he once had. In fact, he’s now Lucci’s subordinate, which is rather fitting, given that he’s extremely weak.
9 Nero
Nero was a user of some Rokushiki techniques and was up for a position in the CP9. According to him, he was recommended by Spandam. Nero showed the fans his capabilities on the way to Enies Lobby in his fight against Franky, the Cyborg.
Despite all that, it didn’t take Franky long to deal with Nero and completely crush him. Nero’s control over the Rokushiki techniques was weak, and he could barely escape Rob Lucci’s fury when the two clashed momentarily. He was, without a doubt, one of the weakest members of the CP9 ever. In the end, he was disposed of by none other than Rob Lucci, who deemed him too weak to be a part of the group.
8 Kalifa
Kalifa is known to be the weakest member of the CP9 which is evident from her Doriki rating of 630. Although she does have a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, Kalifa is still nowhere near as impressive as the other members.
She has a mastery over all the Rokushiki arts but her specialty appears to be Geppo. Kalifa was strong enough to hold her own against Sanji in a fight, however, only because Sanji couldn’t bring himself to harm her. When matched up against Nami, she held the upper hand but ultimately lost the battle still.
7 Fukurou
Like Kalifa, Fukurou is also rather weak when compared to the higher-ranked members of the group. Introduced during the Enies Lobby arc, Fukurou has a Doriki rating of 800. He was matched up against Franky during the Enies Lobby arc and did surprisingly well.
However, Fukurou didn’t have enough in him to take down the Cyborg of the Straw Hat Pirates. His control over the Rokushiki arts was decent but he shone especially when it came to Soru. Despicable having a strong Tekkai, Fukurou couldn’t withstand Franky’s strongest punches.
6 Kumadori
Unlike the CP9 members who worked at the Galley La, Kumadori was on various seperate missions along with the rest of the CP9 members. He was introduced to the fans during the Enies Lobby arc where he fought against Chopper.
With a Doriki rating of 810, Kumadori was slightly stronger than Fukurou and he specialized in the usage of Seimei Kikan, or Life Return. This power allows him to control every part of his body however he wants, and for Kumadori, it serves as a way to manipulate hair and use it in combat. While he was certainly impressive, he got completely crushed by Monster Chopper during the arc.
5 Blueno
Bleuno was a member of the CP9 group that infiltrated the Galley-La organization. He posed as the bartender during his time there and when the job was done, Blueno stepped forth as an antagonist. Although he was impressive during the Water 7 arc, he was also the first to fall on Enies Lobby.
When matched up against Luffy, Blueno was able to hold his own against him in his base form. However, once Luffy utilized Gear Second, he couldn’t keep up. His Rokushiki, especially Tekkai, was decent, but not as strong as the three best members of this organization.
4 Jabra
Like Kumadori and Fukurou, Jabra stayed behind on the Nightless Island and worked on several missions there. During the Enies Lobby arc, he was the opponent of none other than Sanji and he fared quite well against him. With a Doriki of 2180, Jabra was extremely powerful and more than twice as strong as Blueno. What’s more, Jabra also had the power of the Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Wolf at his disposal, and being a carnivorous Zoan, this strengthened him up even further.
When it came to Rokushiki, Jabra specialized in the usage of Tekkai and was the only member of the group who could use it while moving. All things considered, Jabra was pretty powerful and would’ve defeated Sanji had the latter not developed Diable Jambe to burn through his defenses.
3 Kaku
Kaku was introduced to the fans as a shipwright of the Galley-La company and only towards the end of the arc was he revealed to be a villain. As a member of the CP9, it goes without saying that Kaku was exceptionally powerful. He had a Doriki rating of 2200, which makes him slightly stronger than Jabra, however, his Devil Fruit gave him a slight disadvantage.
During the Enies Lobby arc, Kaku ate the Ushi Ushi no Mi, Model: Giraffe, and gained extra power. With its power, he was able to hold his own against Zoro for quite a while and even overwhelm him in battle. Kaku’s skill with Rankyaku was special and he inflicted several injuries on Zoro. Eventually, he was defeated by Zoro tapping into the power of Asura.
2 Who’s Who
Who’s Who is a member of Kaido’s Beasts Pirates and serves there as one of the Tobiroppo. 12 years ago, he was a member of the CP9 and was a part of the same group as Lucci, Kaku, and the others. Who’s Who has the powers of the Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Sabertoothed Cat, which is an incredibly powerful Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit. In fact, his Devil Fruit is the most powerful out of all the CP9 fruits. Who’s Who’s talent was such that he was often compared to Rob Lucci and hailed as a generational fighter.
Unfortunately for him, his vessel was attacked by Shanks when he was guarding the Gomu Gomu no Mi, and his failure to do so led to his eventual imprisonment. Who’s Who would certainly be either the strongest CP9 member or one who’s neck and neck with Rob Lucci.
1 Rob Lucci
Lucci was the strongest member of the CP9 and just like Kaku, he posed as a shipwright in the Galley-La company. He was the main antagonist of the Enies Lobby arc and was thus inevitably Luffy’s rival. Rob Lucci had a staggering Doriki of 4000, which was twice as much as Kaku’s, and on top of that, he also had a carnivorous Zoan-type ability up his sleeve in the Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Leopard. Lucci was a master of all the Rokushiki arts and was the best user of this art that fans have seen.
This is evident from the fact that he is the only member of the group capable of tapping into the power of Rokuogan, which is accessible only to those with a perfect mastery of the skill. Like Kumadori, he could also use Seimei Kikan and he almost crushed Luffy in battle. Undoubtedly, Lucci was the strongest member of this group.
