Nasib Anggota Baroque Works
Setelah gagal mewujudkan misinya, Baroque Works resmi dibubarkan dan anggotanya terpisah menjalani petualangannya masing-masing.
Baroque Works adalah salah satu ancaman paling signifikan yang dihadapi Topi Jerami secara keseluruhan di Paradise (dan yang terbesar kedua, hanya dilampaui oleh pasukan Enies Lobby). Meskipun akhirnya dikalahkan, mereka terorganisasi dengan baik dan cukup efektif untuk menciptakan perang saudara skala penuh di salah satu Dua Puluh Kerajaan, dan hampir menemukan Pluton—sebuah senjata super yang sangat sulit dipahami sehingga bahkan badan intelijen paling ambisius milik Pemerintah Dunia telah mengundurkan diri untuk hanya mencari diagram.
Dalam mewujudkan hal ini, bahkan prajurit biasa sindikat itu licik dan terlatih dengan baik—meski tidak terlalu layak bertempur melawan Topi Jerami—secara keseluruhan. Para agen itu berkali-kali lipat lebih kuat, dengan Agen Perwira khususnya berisi delapan pengguna Buah Iblis yang terpisah; yang perlu diperhatikan adalah Tuan 1 dan Tuan 2 Bon Kurei, yang hampir membunuh Roronoa Zoro dan Sanji dalam pertarungan satu lawan satu beberapa kali.
Sebagai komandan lapangan agen, Miss All-Sunday lebih mematikan lagi, memiliki kekuatan Buah Iblis yang dapat memata-matai, melumpuhkan, dan membunuh siapa pun dari jarak berapa pun. Selain itu, dia adalah—dan masih—salah satu individu terakhir yang masih hidup yang mampu membaca Poneglyph, yang secara efektif memberikan sindikat akses yang lebih dekat ke Pluton dan senjata super kuno lainnya daripada kelompok lain mana pun di dunia.
Terakhir, pemimpin sindikat Crocodile masuk dalam jajaran Tujuh Panglima Perang Laut, dengan penguasaan penuh salah satu Buah Iblis terkuat di dunia dan pengalaman seorang veteran Dunia Baru. Khususnya, ia adalah orang pertama yang tidak hanya mengalahkan Monkey D. Luffy dalam pertarungan tunggal tetapi juga melakukannya dalam beberapa pertempuran (prestasi yang hanya bisa disamai oleh Kaidou dari Empat Kaisar).
Organisasi tersebut menggunakan banyak kapal berbeda untuk mengangkut personelnya; khususnya Agen Perwira, diketahui menggunakan kapal yang dipersonalisasi.
Baroque Gustave (バロックギュスターブ号, Barokku Gyusutābu-gō?) adalah kapal milik Crocodile.[14]
Namanya kemungkinan berasal dari Gustave, pemakan manusia yang terkenal Nile crocodile dari Burundi dilaporkan telah membunuh dan memakan lebih dari 300 orang.
Kill Sassoon (キルサスーン号, Kiru Sasūn-gō?) adalah kapal yang digunakan oleh Tuan 1 dan Nona Doublefinger.[15]
Namanya mungkin dimaksudkan sebagai gabungan dari kill dan assassin, merujuk pada kebanggaan keduanya karena menjadi pembunuh profesional.
Swanda Express adalah kapal pribadi milik Tn. 2, yang bertemakan angsa. Beberapa fitur kapal tersebut antara lain: layar berwarna merah muda, roda dayung yang dioperasikan dengan tangan, dan patung angsa.
Nico Robin, sang Ms. All Sunday
Semasa dia bergabung dengan Baroque Works, level kekuatan Robin sudah tinggi.
Dengan Hana Hana no Mi, Robin bisa dalam sekejap melumpuhkan petarung tangguh dengan mematahkan punggung mereka.
Meski begitu, Robin punya kelemahan melawan musuh yang terlalu besar atau musuh Logia. Kelemahan itu membuat Robin tak bisa mengatasi Crocodile dengan mudah.
Setelah dia gabung Topi Jerami pun level Robin kira-kira seperti itu. Ia bisa mematahkan punggung sekelompok musuh sekaligus, tapi jika musuhnya sudah level terlalu besar atau terlalu kuat, Robin minimal hanya bisa membantu dan membiarkan Topi Jerami lain mengurus mereka.
Bentham, sang Mr. 2
Jangan terkecoh dengan penampilan konyolnya. Bentham bisa menghancurkan satu negara tanpa bertarung dengan Mane Mane no Mi-nya, yang bisa membantu dia memprovokasi situasi menjadi konflik besar.
Kalau sudah bertarung, Okama Kenpo Bentham pun bisa diandalkan. Sanji pun sempat dibuatnya kesulitan.
Uniknya, Okama Kenpo yang tadinya digunakan untuk melawan Sanji ini justru kemudian dimanfaatkan Bentham untuk membantu Luffy selama Impel Down.
Di sana, terutama, kita melihat kalau Bentham memang menganggap Luffy sebagai sahabatnya.
Chiryaku Ten'nen Maru
Chiryaku Ten'nen Maru adalah kapal yang digunakan oleh Tn. 3 dan Nona Goldenweek. Kapal ini sebagian besar dipersonalisasi berdasarkan Tn. 3, yang ia gunakan untuk pergi ke Alabasta dan melarikan diri dari Tn. 2 (yang diperintahkan untuk membunuhnya). Kapal ini memiliki layar dengan garis-garis biru dan putih, angka 3 sebagai lambangnya, dan ditenagai oleh kekuatan Doru Doru no Mi.
Holly Home Run (ホーリーホームラン号, Hōrī Hōmuran-gō?) adalah kapal yang digunakan oleh Tuan 4 dan Miss Merry Christmas.[16]
Namanya merujuk pada kedua tema tersebut, menggabungkan bisbol home run dengan tanaman holly yang berhubungan dengan Natal.
Pop Rock Candy (ポップロックキャンディ号, Poppu Rokku Kyandi-gō?) adalah kapal yang digunakan oleh Tuan 5 dan Nona Valentine.[17]
Namanya merujuk pada Pop Rocks, merek permen yang terkenal karena simulasi "ledakan" dengan gelembung gas karbon dioksida (dan terkenal karena desas-desus yang terus beredar bahwa permen itu dapat menciptakan ledakan sungguhan yang fatal jika dikonsumsi dengan minuman ringan).
Full adalah kapal besar berwarna ungu dan kuning yang menggunakan Dance Powder untuk membuat hujan buatan. Kapal ini memiliki haluan berbentuk buaya dan cerobong asap tinggi di dek depan (yang memiliki patung Jolly Roger karya Baroque di dasarnya).
Keluarga Billion bepergian dengan beberapa kapal dengan berbagai desain, namun, semuanya memiliki nama Baroque Works dan/atau Jolly Roger di layar mereka.
Di akhir Film 2, Tn. 5 dan Nona Valentine terlihat menggunakan perahu yang relatif kecil dengan layar putih dan tanpa lambang Baroque Works. Tidak diketahui apakah perahu yang sama juga digunakan oleh pasangan itu untuk bepergian ke Whisky Peak atau Little Garden.

Galdino, sang Mr. 3
Dalam pertarungan jujur satu lawan satu, hanya butuh satu pukulan telak untuk membuat Galdino K.O.
Yang bikin dia berbahaya adalah trik dan strateginya, terutama bila ia dibantu oleh anggota lain.
Meski lemah, ia bahkan sempat menghambat Topi Jerami di Little Garden.
Inspirations and Influences[]
According to Eiichiro Oda, Baroque Works was in fact named for the "Baroque" movement that flourished across 18th-century European arts. This style, often emphasizing extravagant and intricate details above all, was seen as a natural parallel to the various agents' flamboyant fashion senses (with Mr. 8 and Mr. 7, in particular, sporting hairstyles strongly resembling the powdered wigs popular to the era).[41]
Translation and Dub Issues[]
All professional English translations—4Kids, Viz, and Funimation alike—change the female agents' "Miss" titles to the more modern Ms.. In addition, all romanize the "Bon Kurei" portion of Mr. 2's codename as Bon Clay, possibly misconceiving it as his actual name rather than a holiday reference.
Uniquely, the 4Kids anime further changed most of the holiday codenames to downplay their connections to Japanese culture: "All-Sunday" became simply Sunday, "Doublefinger" became New Year's Eve, "Goldenweek" became April Fools Day, and "Merry Christmas" became Groundhog Day.

Baroque Works adalah salah satu organisasi jahat paling berkesan di One Piece.
Mereka adalah ancaman utama di alur melawan Crocodile, yang dimulai dari Pulau Kaktus sampai Alabasta.
Dari segi kekuatan, sebagian besar dari mereka melampaui musuh-musuh yang dilawan Luffy di East Blue.
Siapa saja sih Baroque Works terkuat? Simak daftarnya di bawah ini!
Chiryaku Ten'nen Maru[]
The Chiryaku Ten'nen Maru was a ship used by Mr. 3 and Miss Goldenweek. It is largely personalized after Mr. 3, which he used to travel to Arabasta and escape from Mr. 2 (who was ordered to kill him). The ship had sails with blue and white stripes, a number 3 figurehead and was powered by the Doru Doru no Mi powers.
The Holly Home Run (ホーリーホームラン号, Hōrī Hōmuran-gō?) was a ship used by Mr. 4 and Miss Merry Christmas.[16]
Its name references both of their themes, combining baseball's home run with the the Christmas-associated holly plant.
The Pop Rock Candy (ポップロックキャンディ号, Poppu Rokku Kyandi-gō?) was a ship used by Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine.[17]
Its name references Pop Rocks, a brand of candy famous for simulating "explosions" with carbon dioxide gas-bubbles (and infamous for persisting rumors that it can create actual, fatal explosions if consumed with soft drinks).
The Full was a large purple and yellow ship that used Dance Powder to make artificial rain. It had a crocodile figurehead and a tall smokestack in the forecastle deck (which had the Baroque Works jolly roger in its base).
The Billions traveled in multiple ships with various designs, however, all of them had the Baroque Works name and/or jolly roger in their sails.
In the ending of Movie 2, Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine were seen using a relatively small boat with a white sail and no Baroque Works insignia. It's unknown if the same boat was also used by the pair to travel to Whisky Peak or Little Garden.

About sixteen years ago, Crocodile went to the Arabasta Kingdom in search for information on the Ancient Weapon Pluton, as part of his Operation Utopia plan.[18][19] As part of his plan to take over the kingdom and acquire the information, he started Baroque Works as a way to accumulate powerful individuals, resources and manpower, as well as recruiting Nico Robin for her knowledge in history and deciphering the Poneglyphs.[20]
Part of his plan also included starting a civil war in Arabasta, by framing king Nefertari Cobra for the use of Dance Powder, making several areas in the kingdom barren in order to sustain the capital Alubarna.[21]
With the king reputation in danger, the kingdom's princess Nefertari Vivi and the captain of the Royal Guards, Igaram, went undercover to infiltrate the organization and expose the real culprit.[22]
In order to sustain their town of of the organization's Bounty Hunters, Whisky Peak, two Frontier Agents (Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday) targeted the island whale at Reverse Mountain, Laboon, but failed due to the involvement of the Straw Hat Pirates.[23]
As part of the organization way to acquire funds, the town of Whisky Peak, located near the beginning of the Grand Line, was inhabited by Bounty Hunters whose goal was to capture novice pirates for their bounties. When the Straw Hats landed on the island, being led there by Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday, they were targeted by the hunters and Roronoa Zoro defeated all the 100 hunters on the island.[24] During the battle, two Officer Agents (Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine) arrived and expose Vivi and Igaram as spies, prompting the two to enlist the Straw Hats in their plan to stop the organization plan.[25]
While on vacation, two Officer Agents (Mr. 3 and Miss Goldenweek), receive a new assignment,[26] sending them to Little Garden to collect the Bounties of Dorry and Brogy. While there, they meet up with Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine who are in pursuit of the Straw Hats and Vivi, and the four decide to work together to fulfill their missions.[27] They mange to capture their targets using Mr. 3 Doru Doru no Mi but the Straw Hats managed to fight back and free Vivi and the Giants, and defeating the four agents.[28] Meanwhile, Sanji came across Mr. 3's base, and managed to keep the crew advancements hidden, and acquire an Eternal Pose to Arabasta, while unbeknown to him, caused Crocodile to send out another agent to the field.[29]
On their way to Arabasta Kingdom to stop Baroque Works plans, the Straw Hats encountered Mr. 2 Bon Kurei, unaware of each others identity, and learn about his ability, allowing them to prepare for their fight against the organization.[30][31][32] With the civil war in Arabasta about to begin, Crocodile summons his Officer Agents to give out the final orders to initiate his Operation Utopia,[33] however, due to the involvement of the Straw Hats Pirates his plans are foiled and the organization is disbanded, with the majority of its members arrested.[34]
After the defeat of Baroque Works, the few remaining Officer Agents concoct a plan to release their partners and while they managed to free most of them and build a new home, Crocodile and Mr. 1 decided to stay behind, soon to be joined with Mr. 2 and Mr. 3 before being transferred to Impel Down.[35]
In Impel Down, while tring to save his brother Portgas D. Ace, Luffy encounter Bentham, Galdino and Crocodile, and plan a mass breakout of the prison,[36] with Daz Bonez rejoining Crocodile along the way.[37] As part of the escape plan, Bentham decide to stay behind to secure his friends escape.[38]
Upon arriving to the battle ground the members of the escape team went their separate ways, with Galdino sneaking onto the execution platform in hope of avenging his comrade Mr. 2, fulfilling what he be believed to be his final wish in helping Luffy save his brother.[39]
With the major changes in the world, Crocodile made moves to restart his military utopia, and sought out Dracule Mihawk to join forces, as well as heading towards Karai Bari Island to take back the loan he gave to Buggy to start his mercenary enterprise, however with the later lack of funds, a deal was made and the criminal organization Cross Guild was formed with Buggy as the figure head, gaining the title of Emperor of the Sea and Crocodile and Mihawk as his lieutenants, despite being the de facto leaders. Galdino, who since the escape from Impel Down followed Buggy, stated to be excited to work under Crocodile once again.[40]
Cross Guild's Jolly Roger include the Baroque Works jolly roger, with Buggy's jolly roger replacing the generic skull.
Organization and Ranks[]
Baroque Works' hierarchy, as explained by Nefertari Vivi.
As head of Baroque Works, Crocodile adopted the alias of Mr. 0, and similarly titled his main partner (and effective chief-of-staff) Nico Robin Miss All-Sunday.[7] This naming scheme was extended through the syndicate's agents (エージェント, Ējento?), roughly two dozen subordinates prominent and powerful enough to receive direct orders from Crocodile:
Agents were organized into twelve male-female teams (excepting Mr. 2 Bon Kurei, an okama effectively allowed to serve as his own partner), usually with emphasis on joining complementary skills. These teams were further divided along two subcategories:
The bulk of Baroque Works' membership, however, consisted of unremarkable foot-soldiers assigned as the agents' subordinates: 200 Billions (ビリオンズ, Birionzu?) for the Officer Agents, and 1,800 Millions (ミリオンズ, Mirionzu?) for the Frontier Agents.[7] These were give more eclectic codenames (Miss Catherina, Mr. Love, etc.) and treated more disposably, though their work could sometimes approach the agents' in complexity and importance.[8][9]
Members could be promoted to higher categories and ranks in the wake of major accomplishments and/or a (preferably fatal) vacancy. This encouraged greater efforts from many—particularly the Billions, who were considered direct candidates for agenthood—but also many internal hostilities, sometimes escalating to outright murder.[10]
In addition to conventional personnel, Baroque Works also employed a number of animals in specialized roles:

Baroque Works was one of the most significant threats the Straw Hats faced as a whole in Paradise (and the second largest, surpassed only by the forces of Enies Lobby). Though ultimately defeated, it was well-organized and effective enough to manufacture a full-scale civil war in one of the Twenty Kingdoms, and nearly unearthed Pluton—a superweapon so elusive that even the World Government's most ambitious intelligence agency had resigned itself to searching only for diagrams.
In enabling this, even the syndicate's common foot-soldiers were cunning and well-trained—if not particularly combat-worthy against the Straw Hats—on the whole. The agents were many times stronger, with the Officer Agents in particular containing eight separate Devil Fruit users; of particular note were Mr. 1 and Mr. 2 Bon Kurei, who nearly killed Roronoa Zoro and Sanji in single combat several times over.
As the agents' field commander, Miss All-Sunday was deadlier still, possessing a Devil Fruit power that could spy on, incapacitate, and assassinate virtually anyone from any distance. In addition, she was—and is—one of the last living individuals able to read Poneglyphs, effectively giving the syndicate closer access to Pluton and other ancient superweapons than any other group in the world.
Finally, the syndicate's leader Crocodile ranked among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, with total mastery of one of the world's most powerful Devil Fruits and the experience of a New World veteran. Notably, he was the first individual to not only defeat Monkey D. Luffy in single combat but do so in multiple battles (a feat matched only by Kaidou of the Four Emperors).
The organization used many different ships to transport their personnel; the Officer Agents, especially, were known to use personalized ships.
The Baroque Gustave (バロックギュスターブ号, Barokku Gyusutābu-gō?) was a ship belonging to Crocodile.[14]
Its name is likely derived from Gustave, a notorious man-eating Nile crocodile from Burundi reported to have killed and eaten over 300 people.
The Kill Sassoon (キルサスーン号, Kiru Sasūn-gō?) was a ship that was used by Mr. 1 and Miss Doublefinger.[15]
Its name is possibly meant as a portmanteau of kill and assassin, referencing the duo's pride in being professional killers.
The Swanda Express was Mr. 2's personalized ship, which was themed after a swan. Some of the ship's features included: pink sails, hand operated paddle wheels, and a swan figurehead.
Crocodile, sang Mr. 0
Seperti biasa di One Piece, pimpinan organisasi adalah yang terkuat.
Meski bounty Crocodile dibekukan di 81 juta Belly, angka yang tergolong sangat kecil, kekuatan Buah Suna Suna-nya membuat ia bisa mengalahkan musuh apapun hanya dengan sekali sentuh.
Meski tak diperlihatkan memiliki Haki, Crocodile ini bahkan beraksi dengan cukup oke di Marineford kemudian. Di sana ia bahkan sempat adu kekuatan dengan Doflamingo.
Itulah peringkat 10 anggota Baroque Works terkuat. Gimana menurut kamu?
