Personality
He is portrayed as very kindhearted (as far as pirates go) from Lily's description of him. He steals food from the Marines, the government, and other pirates, and enjoys nothing more than feeding those who are starving.

Lily Enstomach

Abilities and Powers
As a giant, tremendous physical strength is a given. He also possesses extremely well-developed cooking skills.

Weapons
Panzy Fry's main weapon is a gigantic metal Soup Ladle he swings like a club. However he also uses it mainly to cook. It was broken when he fought Momonga. However, it is presumed he probably has more. He also uses his cooking pan as a weapon, if he needs to.

Cooking Ability
Panz Fry seems to be a notorious cook and an expert of Volcano Cooking (火山料理), a particular type of dish cooked with the heat from magma.
 * Sea Animal Churrasco (海獣シュラスコ): Skewered Sea King meat cooked directly in a volcano's magma and flavored with special volcanic herbs.
 * Thousand People Paella (千人パエリア): Stated to be his best dish by his daughter Lily, it is made with fried bread and seafood and cooked in a giant frying pan.

Past
He attacked many Marine and Pirate ships to steal their food so he could cook and feed starving people for which he gained a bounty and fame for even Sanji said he had heard of him. He was eventually defeated and caught by Vice Admiral Momonga when he attacked his ship.

Z's Ambition Arc
Upon his capture, Panz Fry was chained up on a giant raft and escorted by four Marine ships as they cross the Maubeugemour Sea on their way to Impel Down. Momonga states he has never heard of a pirate who so brazenly boarded a Government-owned cargo ship before and asks why he did it. Panz Fry explains he was only taking back the food that they had stolen. He explains the ship had already been raided of their food that was to be delivered to the World Nobles feasts. Momonga tells him to not shift the blame and the islands being in disorder was because of his kind i.e. pirates. Momonga then tells his crew that there have been pirate raids and because they have Panz Fry they are also targets.

Later on, the Straw Hats sneak aboard the raft and help free him from his chains. Panz Fry is reunited with his daughter Lily, but before they can reach one another he is suddenly hit with a barrage of torpedoes and left severely wounded. The Neo Marines arrive and raid the Marine ships. Luffy rushes to Panz Fry's aid but is knocked into the water by the appearance of Shuzo. Shuzo confesses that he has been the one responsible for the pirate raids and is here to take Panz Fry's head. Lily then steps in and helps fight to protect her father. When the Neo-Marines attempt to shoot Panz Fry again, Momonga saves him by cutting apart the cannon balls.

As the fight continues on, the Thrust Up Stream begins erupting around them, taking out the Marine ships one by one. Eventually a guyser erupts underneath them, destroying all but a small piece of the raft Panz Fry is able to hang onto. Shuzo attaches a Vivre Card to the raft as they make their escape.

Panz Fry and the Straw Hats are later seen docked behind a reef, now out of the Maubeugemour Sea. As Chopper finishes tending to Panz Fry's wounds, Luffy begins hounding him to make his famous food for them. Sanji kicks Luffy in anger, as Chopper tells Luffy he needs to rest. Lily then reveals that she was able to steal the food and booze from the Marine ship wreckage before they left. Panz Fry agrees he will cook for Luffy and the others to help repay them for saving him, and to fulfill his duty as a cook.

As the Straw Hats get to work to help make preparations, Shuzo had followed them. The subs begin slamming into the reef, knocking Panz Fry over. As more begin to charge the ship, the Straw Hats repel the small submarines away with their attacks, as they realize they are not torpedoes at all. Panz Fry is able to knock a few away that charge him with his great cooking pan. Chopper warns Panz Fry to not move because of his injuries but he ignores this and charges into battle swinging his large iron cook spoon at Shuzo. Shuzo uses Tekkai and repels the force of the attack, knocking him back.

Lily jumps in to protect her father but is easily defeated by him. Shuzo turns his attention back to Panz Fry, promising he won't escape death again. Luffy intervenes as the two share a fierce battle. However, Shuzo gains the upper hand momentarily during their fight and almost defeats Luffy. Panz Fry tries to come to Luffy's aid but Shuzo uses Alpacacino and shoots him, knocking the Giant unconscious. After when Luffy is able to overcome and defeat Shuzo, Panz Fry and the Straw Hats make off.

Luffy finds the food they were planning to use completely ruined, but they decide that they would find some more along the way. Franky builds a new and better raft for Lily and Panz Fry to travel on. Panz Fry thanks Franky for helping him which Franky replies with "Super!". The Straw Hats are seen traveling around with the two Giants fishing and helping to gather food. As they collect enough, Panz Fry is able to make his famous food for them under the heat of an active volcano. They share a large feast together, and after much celebrations depart. Lily thanks them for all their help, and tells Luffy he was the strongest Giant she has ever known. The two Giants make their goodbyes and set off towards home.
