Pearl

Pearl, also known as Pearl the Iron Wall (鉄壁のパール, Teppeki no Pāru) (Invincible Pearl in the English Dub) is Don Krieg's second mate.

Appearance
A towering man, Pearl's ensemble includes two large iron plates covering his front and backside, as well as two small plates with large pearls embedded in them for strong, blunt attacks.

In the 4kids English dub, he has a "surfer dude" accent, yet in the funimation dub he has a gentle english accent.

Weapons
Pearl is noted to start panicking if he is struck and injured directly, protecting himself by causing friction sparks to ignite his body with a defensive layer of flames.

History
He is said to have been raised in a jungle. This is reflected in his habit to start a fire whenever he feels he is in danger.

His main part in the story was on the Baratie. He is initially (and accidentally) knocked out, but soon recovers and thrashes Sanji around (as Gin was holding Zeff hostage). Gin, however, finishes Pearl himself by shattering his iron plate shielding, claiming he reserved the right to kill Sanji himself.
