Paulie

パウリ

Appearance:
Paulie is rarely seen without a cigar in his mouth or his denim jacket detailed with flames. (Although during the Post-Enies Lobby Arc, he wore a black jacket emblazoned with roses and chains.) His blond hair is slicked back, and he wears a pair of orange goggles on top of his head. He is usually seen frowning.
Personality:
Paulie is depicted as the person closest to and most trusted by Iceburg. He also displays a different perspective on how many female characters in One Piece dress. Unlike most other characters, such as Sanji, Paulie often becomes outraged at how much of their bodies women like Nami and Kalifa reveal when they are in the company of men.
When he is first introduced, he attempts to steal two suitcases full of money from Luffy to pay off his gambling debts. Although Lucci thwarts him, he still asks for 10% as a service fee.
Fighting Style:
Paulie possesses a unique fighting style involving a complicated use of ropes that emerge from under his sleeves. The amount of rope he carries is absurd, measuring hundreds, if not thousands, of meters. He was actually able to create a huge, complex rope structure in a split-second to prevent not only himself but also the entire Franky Family, their Kingbulls, Oimo, and Kasshii from falling into the huge pit in Enies Lobby. He also boasts that the Galley-La rope he carries never breaks, regardless of the load it carries.
When he attacks, the ropes generally snake out of his sleeve and wrap around the target.
History:
On the opening day of the Puffing Tom, a young Paulie was seen attending its coronation.[2] Inspired by this event, Paulie decided to become a shipwright. He then grew up and joined the Galley-La Company, eventually becoming one of the company's top foremen.
Paulie first appeared to the Straw Hats as one of the five Galley-La foremen of Dock 1 in Water 7, specializing in the mast and rigging.
