Tilestone

Tilestone (タイルストン) is one of the five foremen of Dock One of Water 7. 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.

Appearance
Tilestone is a very large man. 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.

Personality
Tilestone yells everything he says, even if the situation calls for speaking quietly. While his fellow co-workers try to accommodate for this particular trait of his, Tilestone himself however seems somewhat unaware of his constant yelling.

Relationships
Because of Tilestone's inability to speak normally, he can be a bother to his fellow co-workers. They however understand his inability and even though they yell at him constantly to be quieter especially in situations that require it, they also seem to try to accommodate it. However sometimes, his constant shouting can really get on their nerves.

Like most of the Galley-La company and the rest of Water 7, Tilestone has a great respect and deep loyalty for Iceburg. He would do anything to protect the hero that saved his home from destitution.

Abilities and Powers
Tilestone is a skilled shipwright. His specialties are cabinetry, caulking, and flag making. He also has exceptionally strength that not only aids him in his occupation but also in battle. As a foreman of Dock One, Tilestone has some authority over his fellow shipwrights under his jurisdiction.

In battle, he typically fights with either a large hammer or some sort of huge, hand-held cannon.

History
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.
