Tilestone



Seiyū: Tetsu Inada

Tilestone (タイルストン) is one of the five foremen of Dock One. His specialties are cabinetry, caulking, and flag making. Tilestone is a very large, strong man, who typically fights with either a large hammer or some sort of huge, hand-held cannon. He has a tattoo going from his chest near his shoulder to his arm with the kanji for "shipwright" (船大工, funadaiku), although oftentimes only the first kanji, which means "ship", can be seen. Tilestone yells everything he says, even if the situation calls for speaking quietly. The other foremen seem to understand this, and even though they yell at him for it, they also seem to try to accommodate it. However, Tilestone himself seems somewhat unaware of his constant yelling. Tilestone is the last of the foremen to be formally introduced in the story, although he is present from the first scene Galley-La is shown in.

Tilestone and Lulu are deceived by the infiltrating CP9 members while guarding Iceburg, being knocked out and beaten by them during the attempted assassination. They accompanied the Strawhat pirates to Enies Lobby to rescue Franky and Nico Robin, proving to be one of the more valuable fighters among their miniature army. He is shown here to be powerful enough to bearhug multiple marines into submission at once. He helps defeat the giants Oimo and Kashi, and helps Paulie and Peeply Lulu hold off the marines' canine units until the Strawhats and the newly converted giants arrive.
