History
Baroque Works (Japanese: バロック・ワークス, Hepburn: Barokku Wākusu) were a criminal organization that had been established by Sir Crocodile. The pirate served as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and thus had ties to the World Government. Thus, officially, he was said to work with the Marines in maintaining order and eliminating the threat from rogue pirates. In reality though, Sir Crocodile sought power for himself and he came to believe that an ancient superweapon known as the Pluton resided in the Arabasta Kingdom. Thus, he looked to destabilize the nation so that he could claim it with impunity whilst not affecting his public reputation. To accomplish that, he created Baroque Works where he was its secret leader operating under the name of Mister Zero with his identity being a closely guarded secret. Amongst his earliest recruits was the archaeologist Nico Robin as her expertise was invaluable in acquiring the Pluton. As such, Robin worked as his partner under the name of Miss All Sunday where she served as his liaison to the rest of the organization.
Overview
The syndicate contained over 2,000 members, with operations ranging from the Grand Line's Paradise region to the East Blue. Its leader heavily enforced secrecy throughout the organization with most members assigned codenames and often forbidden from interacting with higher-ranked personnel; his own identity was kept the highest secret, and any would-be threats were immediately marked for execution.
Its members were employed as common bounty hunters and mercenaries whilst its elite members contained significantly skilled combatants and spies. On a day-to-day basis, most members were assigned to fundraising, especially through bounty hunter work.
Teams were further divided along two subcategories namely:
- Officer Agents (オフィサーエージェント Ofisā Ējento?) :
- Frontier Agents (フロンティアエージェント Furontia Ējento?) :
The bulk of Baroque Works' membership consisted of foot-soldiers assigned as the agents' subordinates with these being the 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.
