 * An Axe to Grind: Kashi.
 * Blade Below the Shoulder: The Watchdog unit members.
 * Carry a Big Stick: Oimo. When he's not throwing himself on his opponents to crush them.

The actual president is Spandam. They were charged with the task of finding the Pluton's Blueprints and capture Nico Robin. Their actual members are: Spandam (Doriki: 09), Rob Lucci (Doriki 4000), Kaku (Doriki 2200), Jabra (Doriki 2180), Blueno (Doriki 820), Kumadori (Doriki 810), Fukuro (Doriki 800) and Kalifa (Doriki 630). The rookie member, Nero, was slain shortly after his appearence by Lucci after he was defeated by Franky. -
 * Animation Bump: Happens with Lucci vs. Luffy fight, and earlier in episode 268, Spandam goes from Gonk to disturbingly less human than normal, in order to emphasis on how much of a disgusting waste of life he is.
 * Acrofatic: Fukuro.
 * Affably Evil: CP9, ignoring Spandam. Some CP9 have genuine quirky traits, especially Fukuro, Kumadori, Kalifa, Jabra (has his moments) and the honest Kaku; that they might for a good guy group, too bad they're all bloodthirsty assassins.
 * Even when they were revealed to be assassins, and after they were defeated, they seemed to be pretty decent people, with a very genuine and honest sense of justice.
 * Animal Motif: Leopard for Lucci, Giraffe for Kaku, Wolf for Jabra, Bull for Blueno, Panda for Spandam, Sheep for Kalifa, Owl for Fukuro and Lion for Kumadori (Though there is a minor Running Gag that it is a Octopus) and Weasel for Nero.
 * Authority Equals Asskicking: Subverted by Spandam. Played straight with Lucci,.
 * Arrogant Kung Fu Guy: All of them really, to a degree. Though, Lucci, Jabra and Fukurou were pretty notable ones.
 * Badass: All except Spandam, even Nero was impressive.
 * Badass Bookworm: Kalifa., you've got to be pretty smart to be Iceburg's trusted secretary for five years.
 * Badass Normal: Fukuro and Kumadori, they're the only members that don't have Devil Fruit powers. That's about the only thing about them that is normal, though. Spandam had to be in order to be their leader....mostly.
 * Kaku and Kalifa prior their eating of Devil Fruits.
 * Badass in a Nice Suit: All except Nero who wasn't considered a member wear business suits, making them a more professional assassination group than Baroque Works.
 * The Baroness: Kalifa.
 * Big Badass Wolf: Jabra when using his powers from the Dog Dog Fruit, Model: Wolf.
 * Blondes Are Evil: Kalifa.
 * Blood Knight: Rob Lucci describes it eloquently with his quote: "Blood, but you see" transforms into his Leopard-Man form "By being here, we get the legitimate rights to kill".
 * Bunny-Ears Lawyers: They sure are quirky for a bunch of bloodthirsty government assassins.
 * Jabra is is probably the best example of this though, despite his weird superstitions and obvious lies, he's the most professional member of the group because he grasps the simple concept that assassins are supposed to kill people as fast and effectively as possible. Lucci is too blood-thirsty, Kaku is too nice, Kalifa is too vain, Blueno is too proud/emotional, Fukuro is too gossipy and Kumadori is too hammy.
 * Charles Atlas Superpower: Rokushiki are 6  of these.
 * Flash Step: Soru (Shave).
 * Double Jump: Geppo (Moonwalk). Although it's more than just double.
 * Finger-Poke of Doom: Shigan (Finger Pistol).
 * Razor Wind: Rankyaku (Tempest Kick). Shigan also has a variant of this.
 * Made of Iron: Tekkai (Iron Body). Especially Jabra who can use Tekkai while moving. His fighting style is called Tekkai Kenpo.
 * Ragdoll Physics: Kami-E (Paper Drawing)
 * Cloudcuckoolander: Even putting aside from the random declarations of "sexual harassment", Kalifa is a bit of a space-case. Kumadori and Fukurou are far worse.
 * Combat Pragmatist: Jabra can be really a bastard in combat and is proud of using sneak attacks. Nero too uses pistols instead of the Shigan attack.
 * Well, that's because he can't use Shigan and uses real pistols to compensate.
 * Curb Stomp Battle: Ladies and Gentlemen, Blueno vs Luffy round two. Also Monster Chopper vs Kumadori.
 * Does Not Know Her Own Strength:.
 * Even the Girls Want Her: Kalifa. Or at least Nami thinks so.
 * Fan Service: Kalifa, expecially when fighting Nami.
 * Fat Bastard: Fukuro.
 * Five-Bad Band
 * Non-Action Big Bad - Spandam
 * Dragon-in-Chief - Rob Lucci with Kaku as a secondary Dragon
 * Evil Genius - Blueno, Rob Lucci
 * The Brute(s)- Jabra & Kumadori, Blueno
 * Dark Chick(s) - Kalifa & Fukoro
 * Sixth Ranger - Nero
 * Team Pet(s) -Hattori & Funkfreed
 * Fragile Speedster: Nero. Likely because he hasn't mastered Tekkai.
 * Genius Bruiser: Lucci and Blueno are notably perceptive. Kaku as well. Not to mention he is a genuinely good shipwright.
 * Gonk: Fukuro and Kumadori.
 * Good Old Fisticuffs: Fukuro uses a variant of Shigan called Jugon (Stern Beast), which is basically a bullet-speed punch.
 * Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs: Fukuro's Owl Strike (Fukuro Dataki) which is a flurry of punches while running around his opponent. In the anime, its depicted as a Doppelganger Spin, probably by using Soru.
 * Heart Is an Awesome Power: Blueno's Door-Door Fruit (Doa Doa no Mi) powers and Kalifa's Bubble-Bubble Fruit (Awa Awa no Mi) powers. They both seem useless, but they can do marvels in their hands..
 * Jerkass: Spandam.
 * Knight Templar: Although they're Blood Knights, maintaining peace at all costs comes first,
 * Large Ham. Kumadori speaks and acts like a Kabuki actor.
 * Lightning Bruiser: Soru can make them all this, especially Fukuro, Kumadori, Blueno, Lucci in Leopard-Man Mode, Kaku  and Jabra
 * Master of Your Domain: Kumadori uses a special technique called Life Return (Seimei Kikan) that allows him to control his bodily functions. He mostly uses it on his hair, see below.
 * Lucci also uses this technique to make his leopard-man form smaller and more agile.
 * Ms. Fanservice: Kalifa
 * "That's sexual harassment."
 * Not So Harmless: When the first four revealed themselves, afterwards Fukuro and Kumadori are tough despite their looks.
 * Jabra being with the obvious Giant Mook members, thus being one of the weaker members and just be one of the first to lose, but later revealed and proved to be a real badass who's the third strongest in the group, and a competent fighter.
 * Oh Crap: Kumadori as he witness the rise of Monster Chopper.
 * Blueno when he realizes how much stronger Luffy's gotten since their last fight,
 * Kaku right before Zoro handed him his ass.
 * Playing with Fire: Kumadori can ignite his staff, probably using friction.
 * In he anime, Lucci flicks a fireball at Luffy. It was a variant of Shigan.
 * Power Level: Doriki (Exactly means "Power Level"). Average Marine soldiers have a Doriki of about 10, a Doriki above 500 is considered superhuman.
 * Psychopathic Manchild: Fukuro.
 * Punny Name: Many of the techniques and attacks have a pun. Including Kumadori's Shishi Kebob attack and Lucci's Mitsubachi Shigan. (the kanji translates as "three plectri" but "mitsubachi" can also mean "bee".)
 * Prehensile Hair: Kumadori can use his Life Return ability in order to move his hair like tentacles "Like the Mane of a MAJESTIIIIIC.... LIOOON!!"
 * Quirky Miniboss Squad: To Spandam as the official leader, to Lucci the real one.
 * Seppuku: A Running gag of Kumadori.
 * Sexy Secretary: Kalifa was this to Iceburg before she was revealed to be part of CP9.
 * Spanner in the Works: Ironically, one of their own, Fukurou, keeps spoiling the missions because of his random blurting of their secret missions while their underway. It's mentioned in passing that his half of the team had to kill 23 people, instead of just the 3 people they were assigned to assassinate all because Fukurou couldn't keep his mouth shut.
 * Tagalong Kid: Nero, before being
 * Tsundere: Kalifa is shown to be a Type A, though the "dere" side was still pretty cold,.
 * Tyke Bomb: Raised to be assassins,
 * Victoria's Secret Compartment: Kalifa kept the key to Zoro and Sogeking's shackles in her cleavage.
 * Villains Out Shopping:
 * What Could Have Been: Originally, things were much more different: Kalifa was a black-haired creepy woman, Jabra was a swordsman called Jakeen, instead of Kumadori there was a Gorilla-themed brute named Apollo and Fukuro was actually well-muscled instead of being a fatso. Furthermore, the battle layout was different, and included Zoro vs Jakeen, Nami vs Fukuro and Usopp against Blueno amongst various things.
 * Whip It Good: Kalifa used to fight with a spiked whip, then she got the power...of soap!!
 * Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Jabra invokes this, saying that all of the agents should go down there and gang up on him with their combined powers and kill the main character already, but of course Spandam makes it so it's a series of one-on-one matches.
 * Unknown Rival: Jabra views Lucci as his rival, too bad five years made his "rival" see Kaku on equal terms.

 * Badass Biker: They are about the closest thing to a gang of bikers, but they are not very Badass.
 * Berserk Button: Prior to their Heel Face Turn, just mentioning Sanji was enough for Duval to get really pissed.
 * Brutal Honesty: Tansui and Gyaro often remarks that Duval is a oaf and similar stuff. Macro usually call them out on this.
 * Carry a Big Stick: Many of them uses large iron clubs as weapons.
 * Defeat Means Friendship
 * Dumb Muscle: Tansui and Gyaro. The latter would have let Hachi go in exchange for some takoyaki.

 * Gonk: Duval.
 * Bishounen: Him, post-asskicking.

 * Malevolent Masked Man: Duval, until the (hilarious) reveal.
 * Making a Splash: Tansui is apparently a Fishman Karateka. Probably not a good one, though.

World Nobles
Also known as "Tenryuubito" (Celestial Dragons), are the residents of the Holy Land of Mariejois and descendents of the 20 Kings who formed the World Governement long ago. They're shown as a group of arrogant aristocratics, abusing their authority and keeping slaves with them. Despite being really weak, no one dares to hit a Noble, as they can summon an admiral to their help. So far all the World Nobles shown have bulbous-like hairstyle, wear bubble helmets in order to not breath the same air as the "lesser people" and their title is "Saint" (or in case of women "Princess"). The main Nobles shown so far are Saint Roswald, Princess Shalulia, Saint Charlos, Saint Jalmack and Saint Miosgard. -
 * Adult Child: Charloss. Miosgard, as well.
 * Aristocrats Are Evil: Hell yeah.
 * Authority Equals Asskicking: Averted, they're total losers, but they can summon a far more powerful Admiral to kick your ass.
 * Beard of Evil: Saint Roswald.
 * BFG: Saint Jalmack uses a large bazooka.
 * Dirty Coward: They're armed mainly with fire arms and are anything but brave.
 * Disproportionate Retribution: Crossing their path even unknowingly results in getting a bullet to the gut.
 * Fat Bastard: Saint Charlos and also Saint Miosgard.
 * Gonk: Charlos, Miosgard and Miosgard's father. Saint Roswald and Saint Jalmack are more normal-looking, while Princess Shalulia is more like Evil Is Sexy.
 * Jerkass
 * Karma Houdini: This is what they believe themselves to be. However Luffy gave Charloss such a wake up call after he shot Hatchi. Saint Jalmack did get away with blasting a pirate ship with Sabo inside of it because his ship crossed his path but he claims it's because Sabo raised a pirate flag.
 * Kick the Dog: They do this often to their slave. Shalulia tried to shoot Keimi just to take away the Straw Hats prize, luckily Rayleigh came along and stopped her.
 * Kick the Son of a Bitch: Saint Charlos
 * Knight Templar: Saint Jalmack,
 * Which was a secondary reason, his first is because his boat crossed his path.
 * Mark of Shame: Their crest is the Soaring Dragon Hoof, which is branded on the slaves. That means that, as slave, you're worth less than trash to them. A large number of fishmen  has it.
 * Too Dumb to Live: Saint Miosgard thought of going to Fishman Island alone and recover all his escaped fishmen.
 * Hell, they're all like this just because they figure they can do anything and get away with it.
 * Unfortunately, most of the time, they actually can get away with it, because they're so above the law, and basically untouchable.
 * Ungrateful Bastard: Saint Miosgard.
 * Upperclass Twit: Did I mention that they wear glass helmets in order to avoid to breath the air of the citizens?

They resides in the hidden level 5.5, built by a prisoner with tunneling Devil Fruit powers where they costantly party and keep an eye on the situation in the prison. After Luffy's outburst, they evade with their leader. After the Marineford saga, they finally reach Kamabakka Kingdom, where they joined the local Okama subjects. One of the most notable members is Inazuma, a rebel from South Blue and Ivankov's right hand man/woman. The anime also introduces Caroline, the Substitute Queen of Kamabakka Kingdom. -

They also use "E.S.", a powerful drug to greatly enhance their strength, but it shaves off their lives.

 * No Name Given: To the fishman to the right of Hammond during their introduction in the manga. he was named "Kasagon" in the anime.

 * Now That's Using Your Teeth: Daruma can destroy rock and concrete, and his snacks are composed of giant fish's bones.
 * Oh Crap:
