Patty

Patty (パティ, Pati) is a cook on board the Baratie.

Appearance
Patty physically resembles Popeye, though he has a much larger build thus looking like Popeye's rival Bluto. He is also the only other cook who wears a black uniform besides Sanji.

Personality
Patty is one of the cooks of the Baratie, who doesn't always see eye to eye with Sanji. He has a very business-minded attitude towards customers: those who pay get good and friendly service; those that don't get the boot. However, he tends to unknowingly insult his customers when he greets them. His kinder side shows when he tries to save Gin after having breathed in poison gas.

History
When he was first introduced, he was seen berating Sanji for beating up Fullbody. Later on, he taunts the starving Gin by refusing to give him food and knocks out Sanji so that the chef would not cook for Don Krieg and his men. He, along with Carne, contribute to helping defend the restaurant from Don Krieg, particularly by rallying the other cooks to defeat Don Krieg's lower subordinates. However, he, along with Carne, were defeated by Pearl.

Abilities and Powers
Essentially Patty acts as a 'bouncer' preventing trouble on the Baratie. He is muscular and stronger than the average human being but does not demonstrate any Super-Human Strength.


 * Shokuatari Meatball (Indigestion Meatball)/Meatball of Doom is an attack Patty uses to defeat tough pirates. Using a lobster-shaped bazooka, he shoots a huge exploding cannonball at the offender. In the Viz Manga and 4Kids and FUNimation dubs, this is called the Meatball of Doom.

Translation and Dub Issues
In the 4Kids dub, Patty has an Irish accent.

Trivia

 * Patty might be taken from the name of a type of dessert specialist (patissiere).
