Rope Action

Rope Action is Paulie's fighting style. It is based on using ropes in a variety of ways to bind, strike, or defend against opponents. Combined with Paulie's acrobatics, this style is quite versatile and formidable. The amount of ropes Paulie keeps seems to be infinite, and he seems to pull them out from hammer space. These ropes are also strong enough to support the weight of giants and Yagara Bulls; Paulie says it is a special Galley-La Company woven rope and claims it is unbreakable. These two traits, among others, often give the false impression that the ropes result from the power of a Devil Fruit.

Techniques

 * Rope Action: Round Turn (ロープ・アクション ラウンド・ターン): After positioning himself between several enemies, Paulie grabs them with ropes before pulling them inward, causing the victims to slam against each other.


 * Rope Action: Bowline Knot (ロープ・アクション ボーラインノット): Paulie launches a rope that ties around an opponent's wrist, restricting their movements.


 * Oshioki: Ippon Dzuri (オシオキ 一本釣り): After snaring an opponent with rope, Paulie throws them and slams them head-first into the ground. This is called Hook, Line and Sinker in the Viz manga, Punishment Hook, Line and Sinker in the FUNimation dub and Punishment Pole-and-line Fishing in the FUNimation subs.


 * Rope Action: Half-Knot Air Drive (ロープ・アクション ハーフノット エア・ドライブ): Paulie ties a rope around an opponent's neck, choking them, before slamming them into the floor.


 * Pipe Hitch Knives (パイプ・ヒッチ・ナイブス): Paulie launches a rope with a spiralling row of knives tied to it to cut or slash his target.


 * Rope Action: Figure of Eight Knot (ロープ・アクション フィギュアオブ・エイト・ノット): Paulies shoots out eight ropes, knotted heavily on the ends, like fists in eight directions. It can be used to hit multiple targets at once. This is called Figure-of-Eight Knot in the FUNimation dub.


 * Rope Action: Timber Hitch Tug (ロープ・アクション ティンバー・ヒッチ・タグ): Paulie jumps into the air, somersaults, and unleashes several ropes that grab an enemy, with the force of Paulie's fall pulling the target down into the ground.


 * Top Knot (独楽結び（タップ・ノット）): Paulie throws a rope that spirals upwards and ties around his target's body. Then, when the rope is pulled with enough force, the enemy spins like a top, eventually collapsing from dizziness.


 * Shrouds and Rat-Line Knot (シュラウズ・アンド ラットリン・ノット): Paulie creates a large net out of ropes and slams it on top of several enemies. This is called Shrouds and Rattling Knot in the FUNimation dub.
