Paulie



Paulie is one of the five Dock One Foremen of Water 7.

Personality
Paulie is shown as the closest to and most trusted by Iceburg. He also shows a different outlook on the way many female characters in One Piece dress. Unlike most other characters such as Sanji, Paulie often becomes outraged at how much body women such as Nami and Kalifa show off when they are in the company of men. He is rarely without his cigar or flame detailed denim jacket, though in the Post-Enies Lobby Arc he wore a black jacket emblazoned with roses and chains.

History
During the opening day of the Puffing Tom, a young Paulie was seen attending it's coronation. Inspired by this event, Paulie decided to become a shipwright. He then grew up and joined the Galley-La Company. He then became one of the company's top foremen.

Paulie first appeared to the Straw Hats as one of the five Galley-La foreman of Dock 1 in Water 7, specialising in the mast and rigging. When first introduced, viewers learn Paulie has a gambling problem and is often in debt. At the same time, Paulie shows his unique fighting style; a complicated use of ropes that appear from under his sleeves.

After the events of Enies Lobby, Paulie and the others all returned to Water 7, where he lead the reconstruction on the Galley-La Company main headquarters. He then- along with Iceburg, lulu and Tilestone- joined Franky in building a new ship for the Straw Hat Pirates.
