Baroque Works is a criminal organization created by Sir Crocodile. Agents often function as bounty hunters and take down other pirates in order to earn more money to aid their operations. The most important tasks of the agents however, were to spread lies and rumors in Alabasta about their King Nefertari Cobra in order to launch a rebellion against him. All of their missions together lead towards the takeover of Alabasta and Crocodile\'s ultimate goal, obtaining the Ancient Weapon Pluton, which is said to be hidden somewhere in Alabasta. This final mission went under the name "Operation Utopia".
All the main agents in Baroque Works are given code names and address each other by these, their real names are all secret to one another. Male agents are named by number, while female agents are named either after weekdays or holidays.
An infamous assassin from West Blue who was known as Das Bones. Mr. 1 has the kanji for "1" on his chest. Mr. 1 fights against Roronoa Zoro in Alabasta, and is defeated when Zoro learns to cut steel during their fight. Mr. 1 ate the Supa Supa no Mi (Dice Dice fruit in the 4Kids dub) that can make any part of his body into powerful steel blades, as well as giving his entire body the hardness of steel. As one of Baroque Works\' top agents, his basic fighting skills are impressive.
Mr.1 appears in One Piece Grand Battle rush and Grand Adventure as Crocodile\'s support character, where he\'s ranked a dash type in the support rank.
In Japan, the date January 1st is often signified by holding up two index fingers (01/01); hence the name "Doublefinger." In the 4Kids English dub, her name is Ms. New Year\'s Eve (the western equivalent to Doublefinger), though the Doublefinger moniker is retained in the FUNimation version. She first appears as Paula, the owner of the Spider\'s Cafe, although this may be another alias.
