Alvida is a pirate captain who first appears in the opening episode of One Piece. She's introduced as a heavyset woman with freckles who keeps the young Coby enslaved on her ship. She's best known for constantly asking everyone around her, "Who's the most beautiful woman in the world?"—obviously fishing for them to say her name.
After Luffy defeats her crew, everything changes. Alvida eats the Sube Sube Fruit, a Devil Fruit that lets attacks slide right off her body. The transformation is pretty dramatic: her freckles vanish and her entire appearance shifts. By her next major appearance around episode 46, she's become noticeably more attractive—fans often debate whether this is just the power of the fruit or something else entirely.
Following her loss to Luffy, Alvida teams up with Buggy the Clown for revenge. She ends up staying on his ship and even takes command of his crew when he gets captured by the Marines. The partnership with Buggy becomes a running element of her story, at least for a while.
