Iceburg and Paulie

Iceburg[7] is the president of the Galley-La company and the mayor of Water 7.[2][3]

He was formerly one of Tom's Workers, being one of Tom's two apprentices alongside Franky. He is a central character for the Water 7 Arc and the Water 7 Saga as a whole, due to being the original inheritor of the Pluton blueprints given to him by Tom which CP9 sought after.Iceburg is a tall middle-aged man with blue hair and similarly colored lips. He wears a red and orange striped jacket over an unbuttoned orange shirt with a wide collar,[1] black suit pants, and black shoes.[3] He usually keeps his pet mouse, Tyrannosaurus, in a pocket on the left side of his jacket,[1] caressing his little head with his right hand. During his youth, he had longer hair, almost reaching his shoulders, and was usually seen with a white bandanna; he wore simpler clothes, consisting of a brown T-shirt, beige pants, and black shoes. Flashbacks to his youth also show that he has purple tattoos on both shoulders, though these have not been seen in the present since he typically wears long-sleeved shirts.Iceburg is the mayor of Water 7 as well as president of the Galley-La Company, and thus the most important person in the city. However, he is by no means haughty: on his first appearance, he accompanied Luffy, Usopp, and Nami around Dock 1, showing them the place, and he was seen talking informally and with pleasure with one of the shipwrights in his employ. Both his subordinates and his citizens show an incredible love for him, so it could be assumed that he's an excellent leader.

Iceburg at times seems to act rather childish, canceling all of his meetings so that he can show people around, refusing to meet with people because he does not like them, finding animals on the ground and taking care of them, and other such behaviors. (He currently has a mouse that he named "Tyrannosaurus"). However, when the time comes, he can be very serious, and it becomes clear that his childishness is only when he is relaxed. He also tends to say, "Nmaa" or "Oh my" ("Mwell" in the FUNimation dub) whenever he talks.

Iceburg is a person who is against making weapons because he believes they are meant to hurt people even if the person who made them has no ill intent as shown when he kept telling Franky to stop making his battleships during their younger years.

As a shipwright, Iceburg has a deep understanding and sympathy for ships, as he saw the Going Merry was well taken care of despite the accumulated terminal damage it has incurred. He complied with the ship's plea to repair it for one more journey despite not fully knowing if the voice was real and that it was already beyond any hope, and upon witnessing Merry sailing on its own, Iceburg was determined to see this miracle up close that he would risk sailing through the Aqua Laguna. Paulie is the current vice president of the Galley-La Company in Water 7.[3] Before being promoted, he was one of the five Dock One foremen, specializing in rigging, knots, and masts.[4]

He became an ally of the Straw Hat Pirates during the end of the Water 7 Arc and the beginning of the Enies Lobby Arc. Paulie is often seen with a cigar in his mouth. His denim jacket has a flame detail, many of his cigars strapped to it (in a similar fashion to Smoker), and a big "1" printed on its back, most likely referring to Dock 1 (though in the Post-Enies Lobby Arc, he wore a black jacket emblazoned with roses and chains).[4]

His hair is blond and slicked back on his head while wearing a pair of orange goggles on top. These goggles were cracked on the right side for the second half of the Water 7 arc and the duration of the Enies Lobby arc as a result of his fight with Rob Lucci and Kaku.[7] He is quite muscular, and his attire is completed by a yellow T-shirt, with white concentric circles in the middle of it, a belt around his waist with a little bag attached to it, and a pair of loose trousers tucked inside his boots. He's usually seen frowning.[4]

In his appearance in the Where They Are Now? cover story, he was seen wearing an elegant, unbuttoned jacket over a cloud-patterned shirt, with a loose tie around the unbuttoned collar, and matching suit trousers. He still had his trademark goggles, belt, and cigars strapped to his jacket, and a hammer and a small purse were attached to his belt.[3]Paulie is shown as closest to and most trusted by Iceberg. He also shows a prudish outlook on the way many female characters dress. Unlike most other male characters such as Sanji, Paulie often becomes outraged at how much of their bodies women such as Nami (even calling her a harlot, much to her annoyance), Kalifa,[8] and Mozu and Kiwi (who call him an overly shy man)[9] show off when they are in the company of men.

He enjoys gambling, as he has many debts to pay off and is often pursued by debt collectors. When he is first introduced, he tries to steal two suitcases full of money from Luffy to pay off his gambling debts.[4] Though he is thwarted by Lucci and pulled back on land by his ear and gives back the suitcases, he asks for 10% of the cash if Luffy wants to thank him, shortly before being knocked over the head by Lucci with a hammer.[10] However, Paulie is still a kind-hearted man, and very caring about his friends and mentor.
