| 13 | |
| 14 | Water 7 is a large city in Paradise where the One Piece world's best shipwrights, especially those working for the Galley-La Company, and Franky, the Straw Hat Pirates’ shipwright, reside or hail from. Instead of roads, it has canals and the inhabitants use a kind of sea horse, called "Bull" to travel through the canals. This town is also famous for being the place where the sea train was invented. |

| 18 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 19 | * CityOfCanals: It's built into Water 7's architecture in a Venetian way. |
| 20 | * CoolBoat: As a city full of shipwrights, they can build incredible water transports. The three most prominent examples are the Sea Trains, the Thousand Sunny, and Pluton. In addition, it's Iceburg's ambition to convert Water 7 itself into a ship to save the city from Aqua Laguna. |
| 21 | * DyingTown: Before the Sea Train was built, the town was in steady decline due to gradually sinking into the ocean, pirate attacks and storms disrupting supply chains and competition between the shipwrights. Tom's Puffing Tom helped revitalize the town, and Iceburg unified the shipwright companies into one company that increased stability and productivity. |
| 22 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:Water 7 over the years has been suffering from rising ocean due to the Aqua Laguna's every month and the sinking into the ocean. While it's implied to just happen to Water 7, the fact the ocean levels have been raising over the years on the island would be odd unless it has been happening all over the world as well. During the Egghead Arc, Vegapunk's global broadcast reveals that the world is going to sink into the ocean]]. |
| 23 | * GiantWallOfWateryDoom: The city experiences a high tide known as Aqua Laguna annually which damages the city immensely each time and causing more of the city to submerge. It's Iceburg's ambition to find a solution to this problem. [[spoiler:During the Egghead Arc, it's revealed that the whole world is suffering this problem and will sink into the ocean in time, thanks to the Five Elders and Imu using the Mother Flame destroying the Lulusia Kingdom and raising the ocean levels by one meter]]. |
| 24 | * LostSuperweapon: The Ancient Weapon, Pluton, was said to have been constructed in Water 7 in the distant past, and it's blueprints eventually ended up in Tom's hands before he passed them on to Iceburg, who would pass them on to Franky before the latter burned them in the Ennies Lobby Arc. |

| 31 | * "Puffing Tom" |
| 32 | * "Rocket Man" |
| 33 | * "Puffing Ice" |
| 34 | ---- |
| 35 | * CoolTrain: All three are special trains designed by Tom and Iceburg to travel on the sea, expanding Water 7 commercial routes. |
| 36 | * FlawedPrototype: "Rocket Man" has no breaks or ways to slow down. It was just made as a proof-of-concept, who's designs were incorporated into "Puffing Tom", the more stable version. |
| 37 | * RuleOfCool: Train Tracks that move with the waves instead of staying still would make it difficult for a regular train to move from place to place, but it looks cool none-the-less. |

| 49 | |
| 50 | A lighthouse worker on Water 7 perpetually drunk. She meets Straw Hats after they nearly get run over by the Sea Train. She later aids the bunch during their raid on Enies Lobby. It's revealed she was Tom's secretary thus she has ties with Franky and Iceburg, whom she cared for almost as a mother figure. She's also an Icefish mermaid, the first one the crew meet, [[BrainBleach much to their displeasure]]. Especially [[HandsomeLech Sanji's]]. |
| 51 | ---- |
| 52 | * ActionSurvivor: Despite not having any supernatural power, she survives from the [[LeaveNoSurvivors Buster]] [[WhatASenselessWasteOfHumanLife Call]], which destroys the entire island of Enies Lobby, by invoking InnocentBystander –situation. |
| 53 | --> '''Kokoro''': Stop! I'm just an old lady!\ |
| 54 | '''Chimney''': And I'm just a kid with a small animal! \ |
| 55 | '''Kokoro and Chimney''': We're defenseless! |
| 56 | * TheAlcoholic: She's almost never seen without a bottle of wine in her hands and often visits a bar where she's on good terms with the owner, Blueno (until the latter is revealed to [[TheMole be an agent of the World Government]]). She has a constant drunk expression because of this habit, which started years before when [[DrowningMySorrows Tom was executed and Franky was seemingly killed by the sea train]]. |
| 57 | * AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Her mermaid form is terribly {{Gonk}}. The real-life [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channichthyidae Icefish]], the fish her mermaid form is based on, isn't so great-looking, either. |
| 58 | * BrainBleach: When the thought of Kokoro comes back to haunt him upon meeting the much cuter mermaid Camie, Zoro ''literally'' erases the image of Kokoro from his mind and declares ''Camie'' as the first mermaid he ever met. |
| 59 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: She may be perpetually drunk, but she's a really good Sea Train driver. |
| 60 | * ButterFace: When she was 48, she had a nice, curvy body but the same ugly face as she has at seventy years old. In her own youth, however, she was quite beautiful. |
| 61 | * CarFu: She helps the Franky Family and the Galley-la foremen defeat the giant Oimo by crashing the Sea Train into him. |
| 62 | * CombatCommentator: Her role in Enies Lobby is to comment on the others fighting, justified since she has no combat skills and cannot participate in the fights. |
| 63 | * CoolOldLady: She's a rather lively old woman (outside, at least) who loves her granddaughter, drives the Sea Train around Enies Lobby, and even uses it to tackle and defeat a giant. |
| 64 | * DelayedReaction: She's rather nonchalant when Chimney makes a comment about the current situation while aboard the rocketman... then it dawns on Kokoro that Chimney is not supposed to be on the train, since they're taking part in an extremely dangerous plan to attack Enies Lobby, which will at best make the participants wanted criminals and at worst get them killed. Kokoro then freaks out. |
| 65 | * DrivesLikeCrazy: Subverted, since as a conductor she knows how to drive a train, [[DrunkDriver no matter how unlikely it seems to be]]. However, she does intentionally derail the train through Enies Lobby to help the Straw Hats. |
| 66 | * DrowningMySorrows: In the flashback, she isn't seen drinking until after Tom's been taken to Impel Down and Franky is presumed dead. After many years, she's still constantly drinking. |
| 67 | * FanDisservice: Her mermaid form is terribly ugly and fat, and she wears only a SeashellBra! It's so ugly it make the Straw Hats pass out from the shock. When she put a lipstick mark on a letter addressed to Iceburg he ''immediately rips it up from repulsion''. Even ''[[ChasteHero Luffy]]'' is disgusted. |
| 68 | * {{Gonk}}: Which adds to the Fan Disservice. This causes everyone in the vicinity to pass out when they see her mermaid form, which prevents them from swallowing too much water and ''actually saves their lives''. The fact they call her a "dugong" before passing out is a reference to how dugongs were originally mistaken for mermaids. |
| 69 | * IWasQuiteALooker: An SBS reveals [[http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131128045043/onepiece/images/7/75/Kokoro_as_a_Young_Mermaid.png she was quite beautiful]] when she was young, but now she's a very ugly old mermaid. |
| 70 | * InnocentBystander: Invoked. To not being attacked by the Marines, Kokoro claims that she and her granddaughter are just hostages. Lampshaded immediately by Franky Family members to support her: "Could there be drunker hostage?" |
| 71 | * LadyDrunk: Kokoro is constantly drunk and with a dizzy smile. She started drinking [[DrowningMySorrows after Tom died.]] She somehow manages to drink far more than her bottle could actually contain. |
| 72 | * ParentalSubstitute: Kokoro served as a mother-figure to Iceburg and Cutty Flam/Franky just as Tom served as their father-figure. She even talks about how her heart warms when she sees the [[SiblingYinYang two of them]] finally get along as they work together [[LikeFatherLikeSon to build the Thousand Sunny]]. |
| 73 | * PerpetualSmiler: She almost always has a smile plastered on her face, unless she's very upset, such as when Tom was taken away or Nami insists on endangering herself to save Luffy from Aqua Laguna. |
| 74 | * SeashellBra: When she's revealed to be a mermaid, she's only wearing a pair of shells as a bra. Being very fat and ugly, [[FanDisservice it isn't a nice view]]. |
| 75 | * SignatureLaugh: Her laugh is ''Nagagaga''. |
| 76 | * StepfordSmiler: Always has a drunken smile on her face, but she still hasn't gotten over Tom's death. |
| 77 | * TerribleArtist: After sending the Straw Hats to Water 7, she hands them a map of the island, but it's so poorly drawn that Nami can't understand anything. Most likely because Kokoro was ridiculously drunk when she drew it. |

| 92 | * AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Gonbe is a rabbit with blue fur. |
| 93 | * AnimeHair: Chimney's long pigtails put Literature/PippiLongstocking's to shame. |
| 94 | * TheDitz: Until she's specifically told so, Chimney could not figure out that her grandmother is a mermaid despite knowing that she has scales and a fish tail. |
| 95 | * EmpathyPet: Gonbe mimics all of Chimney's movements and meows in sync with her dialogue. |
| 96 | * GenkiGirl: Chimney is very young and energetic. |
| 97 | * MadeOfIron: They're in a train crash (actually more of train ''launched like a rocket into a building''), and only get a nose bleed. It's especially impressive considering they are both very young and have zero combat experience, unlike the other passengers. |
| 98 | * MeaningfulName: Her name is Chimney and her grandmother is the conductor of the Sea Train. Becomes even more meaningful when Chimney herself becomes a train conductor during the time-skip. |
| 99 | * NiceGirl: Hyperactive nature aside, Chimney is a very sweet and helpful little girl. |
| 100 | * PerpetualSmiler: Both Chimney and Gonbe never stop smiling. |
| 101 | * PluckyGirl: Chimney is very energetic and curious, and her grin almost never leaves her face. She also almost never shows signs of fear. |
| 102 | * SpannerInTheWorks: They overhear Spandam and discover the secret passage to the Gates of Justice, allowing Luffy and Franky to reach Robin in time, with the former making sure Lucci does not stop the latter. |
| 103 | * SuperSenses: Her eye-sight is extraordinary, as she's able to spot things that are ''very'' far away, which would otherwise be missable by other people. |
| 104 | * TagalongKid: Chimney, with her pet, constantly follows Kokoro. This extends to them following her and the Straw Hats into the Rocketman and going all the way to Enies Lobby. Her role within Enies Lobby is guide Luffy to the secret passage that leads to the Gates of Justice. |
| 105 | * TomatoInTheMirror: Played for laughs, as she only finds out she's a quarter mermaid when the Strawhat Crew do, despite having seen her grandmother's mermaid form. |
| 106 | * UnevenHybrid: Chimney is 1/4 mermaid due to Kokoro being a mermaid. She doesn't have any mermaid features, but she's a very good swimmer. |

| 116 | A giant, sumo-wrestling frog that regularly challenges the Sea Train Puffing Tom. He was originally Tom's pet frog and a close friend of Cutty Flam / Franky in Tom's Workers. After Tom was arrested and Franky was ran down by the Puffing Tom, Yokozuna began to challenge the Sea Train to strengthen himself in case someone else he liked was taken away. He joined the battle at Enies Lobby, helping guard the court house door to keep the rest of the Navy and Government forces from entering. After the battle, he stopped challenging the Sea Train and joined Kokoro on Blue Station. |
| 117 | ---- |
| 118 | * AmphibianAtLarge: Yokozuna is a ''massive'' frog, and strong enough to derail the Rocketman Sea Train prototype. |
| 119 | * MadeOfIron: Yokozuna is a frog that regurarly get hit by the sea train and survives just fine with a few scars. During the Enies Lobby Arc, he blocks multiple hits from the Eleven Righteous Jurors giant steel balls before he finally goes down. Just one hit from those balls brings down one of the Franky Family's [[SeaMonster King Bulls.]] |
| 120 | * MeaningfulName: In SumoWrestling, the yokozuna is the highest rank, fitting for a frog that sumo wrestles. |
| 121 | * ScarsAreForever: Has several scars on his body, as a result of being bashed aside by the Puffing Tom. |
| 122 | * TeamPet: Was the pet of Tom's worker. After Enies Lobby, he joins Gonbe as the pet of the Blue Station. |

| 131 | |
| 132 | The best company of shipwrights of the world and led by the famous and talented Iceburg. Galley-la Company is a huge organization divided into seven docks with their own workers, and they have contracts from pirates to the World Government, such is their skill at making and repairing ships. |
| 133 | |
| 134 | Despite their profession, most of the shipwrights are also hardened fighters who can beat up clients who thinks they can boss Galley-la around, and some of its members allied with the Straw Hats and the Franky Family and fight the World Government and Marines to get even with Cipher Pol 9, who have infiltrated their ranks and worked against Iceburg for many years. |
| 135 | ---- |
| 136 | * BadassCrew: Part of the job requirement of being a Galley-La worker is also being a badass, especially since they might deal with pirates. They help the Straw Hats in Enies Lobby by fighting most of the guards. |
| 137 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: All of them have a quirky and bizarre personality, or some strange characteristic that would make them appear like a bunch of buffoons, but are the best shipwrights of the world. It's even official policy that Galley-La doesn't care about anything other than carpentering skill. |
| 138 | * HeroAntagonist: They are heroic characters, if a bit rough, and briefly end up opposing the Straw Hats after learning that Robin was involved in the attempt on Iceburg's life. They stop once they learn about the real culprit. |
| 139 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: While not very improbable from shipwrights and carpenters, they often use saws, scalpels and wooden beams as weapons. Paulie fights with ropes and knots. |
| 140 | * ItsPersonal: After finding out that two of their foremen (Lucci and Kaku) and Iceburg's secretary are actually moles working for the World Government and about their attempts on Iceburg's life, the remaining foremen of Galley-La decide to join forces with the Straw Hats in the assault at Enies Lobby. |
| 141 | * WorkplaceAcquiredAbilities: Galley-La Company shipwrights deal often with pirates, therefore they're all able to put up a fight if the situation calls for it. |

| 152 | |
| 153 | The mayor of Water 7 and former student of Tom. He united the separate shipyards into the Galley-La company which he heads. He was given the blueprint to the ancient warship by Tom and later passes it to Franky to keep it from the World Government. He becomes an ally to the Straw Hats and prep the Rocket Man and patches up Going Merry which is instrumental in the Straw Hats' escape from Enies Lobby. After the events of Enies Lobby, he helps building the ''Thousand Sunny'' and convinces Franky to leave with the Straw Hats.\ |
| 154 | |
| 155 | ----- |
| 156 | * TheApprentice: As teens, Iceburg and Franky are the shipwright apprentices to the late Tom, who turns both of them into the finest shipwrights of the entire One Piece world. |
| 157 | %%* BigGood: Of the Water 7 arc. |
| 158 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: He named his pet mouse Tyrannosaurus and abandons all his appointments on a whim. He's also possibly the best shipwright in the world. His dream is to turn Water 7 into a floating city to prevent the damages of Aqua Laguna, which gets higher every year. |
| 159 | * TheChessmaster: Does a pretty good job against the World Government and [=CP9=] at keeping the Pluton blueprints out of their hands (he was successful for a good 10 years or so) but in the end he's outmatched by the ruthlessness of Lucci. |
| 160 | * TheDutifulSon: To Tom. Whereas Cutty Flam was always a handful and rarely much help for the company, Iceburg followed Tom's example and assisted him in his work. In the flashback, Iceburg is shown tirelessly working on the Sea Train while Cutty Flam is off making more Battle Frankies. After Tom's arrest, Iceburg carried on his mission to pull Water 7 back from the brink and succeeded, revitalizing the city. This trope is the reason he was the one entrusted with the Pluton blueprints. |
| 161 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Iceburg is the Responsible to Franky's Foolish. The former is more mature and levelheaded and becomes major of Water 7, the latter is more impulsive and rebel and becomes leader of a ship dismantlers group. |
| 162 | * GodzillaThreshold: Pluton is a warship of mass destruction, and Iceburg hides the blueprints to prevent them from getting in the wrong hands, even at the risk of his life. The only reason he doesn't just burn the Pluton blueprints is because he claims that if someone who could read the Poneglyphs were to find Pluton, the only counter measure would be a new warship made from the blueprints by the Water 7 shipwrights. |
| 163 | * IWarnedYou: As a teenager in Franky's flashback, Iceburg repeatedly complains about Franky building "Battle Frankies" to take on Sea Kings, saying that someone could get hurt. When Cipher Pol steals the latest crop of Battle Frankies to frame Tom's Workers, Iceburg takes the chance to remind Franky that he'd warned him, but rather than feeling smugly vindicated, Iceburg is ''furious'' that the worst-case scenario happened. |
| 164 | * InconsistentSpelling: Many localizations spell his name as "Iceberg". Chapter 352 shows a nameplate with the spelling "Iceburg", but Episode 248, which is adapting the scene, has the spelling "Icebarg" instead. In Germany, his name is spelled "Eisberg" and is pronounced differently because of the German spelling. |
| 165 | * IronicName: The master shipwright, named after something famous for ''sinking'' ships. |
| 166 | * JerkassToOne: He's overall a reasonable and decent guy, but put him near Franky and he resorts to childish, jerky behavior. However, despite their VitriolicBestBuds dynamic, Iceburg lets Franky know that he still cares about him and is happy to learn that he's alive. |
| 167 | * LongHairedPrettyBoy: In his youth he was a bulky teenager with long hair, especially compared to Franky and his [[HotBloodedSideburns hairstyle]]. |
| 168 | * MadeOfIron: Despite being unable to fight, Iceburg survives being shot five times, shot again the next night, and then left in a burning building. |
| 169 | * ManChild: In his introduction, Iceburg acts like a young kid, presenting his new pet mouse, called Tyrannosaurus, and when informed by his secretary he has to go to a long series of meetings he responded with "I don't wanna" and promptly stuck his finger in his nose. It's actually a façade to not attract the World Government's suspicion but when there's nobody to trick, he's cool, calm, and collected. |
| 170 | * ManOfTheCity: As the head of Water 7's most famous business and its mayor who helped turn the city around from his days as one of Tom's apprentices to the present, Iceburg's impact on the city and his devotion to it are impossible to dispute, and the citizens love him for it. He's even working on a project for Water 7's ongoing sinking problem by converting the city itself into a ship. |
| 171 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After the masked assassins return to finish the job, Iceburg immediately realizes that Luffy was innocent and regrets calling for his arrest. |
| 172 | * TheNicknamer: When they were Tom's pupil, Iceburg called Cutty Flam "Franky" because he found his actual name too stupid. Franky who would later adopt the nickname as his true name after rebuilding his own body. |
| 173 | * NonActionGuy: Unlike the rest of the Galley-La company, who are strong fighters to deal with pirates, fighting isn't really Iceburg's thing. |
| 174 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: He kept undercover government agents at bay for ten years thanks to acting like a ManChild, so to not raise any suspicion about him. |
| 175 | * OhCrap: A plot important one. Lucci explains their best guess as to where the Pluton blueprints are hidden while Kaku feels Iceburg's pulse. When the guess turns out to be correct, his heartbeat quickens and confirms their suspicions. |
| 176 | * PermaStubble: Has a bit of stubble to show how he's more composed compared to the other Galley-La shipwrights. |
| 177 | * ProperlyParanoid: Iceburg hands Pluton's blueprints off to Franky because he thinks the World Government is on to him despite not having a concrete proof of it. He's proven right after some CP-9 agents make an attempt on his life because of the blueprints |
| 178 | * SecretKeeper: After Tom's death, Iceburg kept Pluton's blueprints hidden to prevent the World Government from getting their hands on them. Once he realizes the World Government is on his tail, Iceburg entrusts the blueprints to Franky. |
| 179 | * TearsOfJoy: Iceburg cries watching the inaugural voyage of the Sea Train, as it was the culmination of ten years of hard work. He sheds some tears as he walks away from his reunion with Franky, as despite arguing with him, he's happy to learn that he survived. |
| 180 | * ThisIsUnforgivable: Subverted. He declares that he'll never forgive Franky for his part in Tom's incarceration but he admits to still being happy to know Franky isn't dead. Years later, he comes to realize Franky blames himself for what happened more than Iceburg does anyway and he decides to finally bury the hatchet. |
| 181 | * UniversallyBelovedLeader: The citizens of Water 7 absolutely adore Iceburg, who does his best to improve the city, including finding a way to solve the aqua laguna problem. When he's shot and almost killed, the entire city went into a furious panic and viciously called for the assassin's blood. Even the [=CP9=] assassins state they would rather have not to hurt him in order to secure the blueprints. |
| 182 | * VerbalTic: Starts many of his sentences with "Nmaa". Becomes "Oh my" in the English translation of the manga and "Welllll" in the English dub of the anime. |
| 183 | * VetinariJobSecurity: The Cipher Pol agents entrusted to get the blueprints hidden by Iceburg can't just break down his door because Iceburg is a person too important to kill, as both a CEO and mayor of Water-7. After Tom was arrested, he united the shipyards of Water-7 into a single corporation, the Galley-La, and became a provider to the World Government. Very tellingly, he made himself more important to the World Government than [[spoiler: Vegapunk]], always being too important and too beloved to just get rid of no matter how much he doesn't play ball when the World Government tries to get him to. |
| 184 | * VitriolicBestBuds: In Franky's flashback, when they are Tom's apprentices, Iceburg and Franky argue constantly, much to the amusement of Tom. Years later and, while appearing distant, they've secretly kept in touch, maintaining the same dynamic. |
| 185 | --> ''"Look at us... we yell as soon as we look at each other. You jerk! I'm glad you're alive!"'' |
| 186 | * WeakBossStrongUnderlings: Despite most of Galley-La's shipwrights being strong fighters, Iceburg is just the best at making ships but has no combat ability. |
| 187 | * WhatTheHellHero: Iceburg an Franky burst into an argument after they reunite for the first time in four years: Franky is angry with Iceburg for doing contracts for the World Government, which had executed Tom, while Iceburg blames Franky for enabling Spandam to frame Tom. |

| 233 | ---- |
| 234 | * BadassBoast: An indirect version. He tells the Straw Hats to give Lucci, Kaku, and Califa (who used to work for Galley-La undercover) a message from him since he knows he won't be able to. Zoro actually refers the message to Kaku who, ironically, is the only one who has genuinely enjoyed his work as a shipwright. |

| 240 | * EveryoneChasingYou: Paulie is introduced being followed by his debtors and escapes them after stealing a bull of the Frankie Family.

| 248 | * TheNosebleed: Despite hating "improperly" dressed women, he nosebleeds during said protests, revealing he actually enjoys it. |
| 249 | * NumberTwo: He's effectively Iceburg's right hand man, being the one he entrusts with his fake blueprints trap for the [=CP9=] and they don't find it odd Iceburg would pass the Pluton blueprints to him. It's made official with his promotion after the TimeSkip. |

| 256 | * VitriolicBestBuds: Despite often fighting with Lucci, Paulie think of him as a friend.

| 276 | * IdiotHair: Lulu's quirkiness doesn't come from his quiet personality but from a spike of hair that, whenever he press it, the hair spike sprout somewhere else, including on his arm, from his mustache and from someone else's nose.

| 319 | A bunch of thugs from Water Seven led by Franky. They work as bounty hunters in order to keep pirates at bay and also dismantle ships. They first appear as enemies, where they steal the crew's money and lynch Usopp, but are soundly beaten to a pulp by the Straw Hats. When Franky is kidnapped by Cipher Pol 9, they allied with the Straw Hats to rescue Franky and Robin in Enies Lobby. The most notable members include Zanbei and the Square Sisters. They also have two huge [[SeaMonster King Bulls]] called Sodom and Gomorrah at their service. |
| 320 | |

| 322 | ---- |
| 323 | * AdoptTheFood: Sodom and Gomorrah had originally been found inside a Sea King that the Franky Family was eating. They saved them for later (since they were all full), but eventually came to view them as {{Team Pet}}s. |
| 324 | * AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Sodom and Gomorrah are huge sea creatures that are comparable in size to ''actual giants''. |
| 325 | * {{BFG}}: Zanbei wields a bazooka which doubles as a club for melee fight. |
| 326 | * CurbStompBattle: The Franky Family performs two brutal beatdowns on Usopp when he tries to fight them alone. Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and Chopper turn the tables on them and defeat them without so much as a scratch in order to avenge Usopp. |
| 327 | * {{Delinquent}}: Pretty much all of them, which is how Franky came into contact with them in the first place. Franky has given them a purpose which allows them to earn money in a productive way. |

| 329 | * GentleGiant: Sodom and Gomorrah are giant, friendly Bulls (a kind of literal sea-horse). |

| 331 | * HeelFaceTurn: They are at first forced to work with the Straw Hats and Galley-La Company to save their leader from the clutches of [=CP9=]. Then, when this is all over, they're all recruited by Iceburg so they can have proper jobs. Although they never were truly evil, since they were robbing pirates rather than civilians. |
| 332 | * HeroAntagonist: During the Water 7 arc, the Franky Family are antagonists who are in conflict with the Straw Hats because the former has stolen money from the latter. However, the Franky Family are also working as bounty hunters on the side and they justify their stealing since their victims are pirates who generally don't earn their money legally, meaning that even if someone dumb were to report the theft, nobody in law enforcement would side with the pirates. The members of the Franky Family eventually join the Straw Hats on the raid at Enies Lobby because of their loyalty to their boss, Franky. |
| 333 | * {{Malaproper}}: When some of Franky's underlings go around town yelling about capturing Usopp in order to lure Luffy out, one member comically mangles their threats against Usopp("If you don't want us to think you like emotion" as opposed to "If you don't want us to sink him in the ocean."), resulting in another scolding and correcting him. |
| 334 | * MuggingTheMonster: They find out the hard way that stealing money from Usopp and leaving him beaten to a pulp in from of their base was not such a hot idea. |
| 335 | * NumberTwo: Zambai appears to be the second-in-command of the Franky Family, representing them in the alliance with the Straw Hats and Galley-La shipwrights. |
| 336 | * TragicDream: The SBS specials in Volume 38 reveal that Zambai wanted to be a shipwright, having been inspired by the Puffing Tom's maiden voyage, but failed the Galley-La exam and ended up as a criminal. |

| 381 | |
| 382 | A huge long-horned cowfish Fish-man and a legendary shipwright from Water Seven. He adopted Iceburg and Cutty Flam/Franky. He was the one who built Gold Roger's ship, the Oro Jackson, and thus was sentenced to Impel Down for having done so. However, he asked for time in order to build the Sea Train, an innovative device that would have changed the fate of Water Seven. They gave him ten years to complete the project, Tom managed to complete the project in fourteen years, getting extra time to add more rails, and was pardoned of his "crimes". Unfortunately he and his apprentices were framed by [[DirtyCoward Spandam]]. He took the responsibility for the accident and was sent to Impel Down, where he faced execution.\ |
| 383 | |
| 384 | The Straw Hats eventually encounter Tom's younger brother Den, a Bering Wolffish merman, fellow shipwright, and marine ecologist, on Fish-Man Island. |
| 385 | ----- |
| 386 | * {{Acrofatic}}: Despite his sheer bulk, Tom can be really fast. Justified because he's a Fish-man, who are naturally much stronger than humans. |
| 387 | * BerserkButton: Franky denying his ownership of the Battle Frankies triggered the first and only time Tom struck him. As Tom explains, a shipwright can never reject his creations and needs to always care for them. |
| 388 | * BigFun: Tom was a big, jovial, and round Fish-man who laughed often. |
| 389 | * CantGetAwayWithNuthin: Normally, building a pirate ship isn't considered a crime since anyone can buy or commission a ship and the shipwrights have no control over what their customers do. The judge who sentences Tom to death acknowledges this but [[SelectiveEnforcement throws the book at him regardless]], remarking that being the builder of Gold Roger's ship makes him a special exception, because Roger was the Pirate King. |
| 390 | * CantKillYouStillNeedYou: Invoked. While on trial for having built the ''Oro Jackson'', Roger's flagship, Tom talked about his Sea Train project. Conditions on Water 7 were bad enough that Tom's attempt to build the Sea Train was considered important enough to grant him an extension of the trial for 10 years. Tom even got 4 extra years to build extra rails and, once the project ended, Tom was even pardoned of his crimes. |
| 391 | * CatchPhrase: Tom's favorite often said: "Do it with a Don!" ("with a Boom" in the Viz manga and "with Gusto" in the [=FUNimation=] dub). |
| 392 | * CoolOldGuy: Tom is an old Fish-man who wisecracked a lot, was very knowledgeable in ship making, adopted and educated Iceburg and Franky, and was strong and brave when the situation called for it. |
| 393 | * {{Determinator}}: Even with a jagged harpoon in his chest, he was still conscious and able to beat his most important lesson into Franky and some karma into Spandam. |
| 394 | * GentleGiant: Tom was a very big and friendly Fish-man (both in height and in width) who was constantly joyful, and rarely got angry or upset. |
| 395 | * HeroWithBadPublicity: Despite being an accomplished shipwright, he ended up being ostracized for his work on the Oro Jackson, which is why he ended up having to make his workshop in an isolated part of town. He regained the respect of Water 7 by building the sea train, but his reputation was ruined when he was framed for attacking the judicial ship. |
| 396 | * HeroicSacrifice: After Spandam used the Battle Frankies to attack Water 7, Tom took the blame instead of his pupils, Iceburg and Franky, and was executed. |
| 397 | * HornedHumanoid: Tom was a long-horned cowfish Fish-man and, just like his fish type, had a pair of small horns on his forehead. |
| 398 | * TheHyena: He laughed at almost everything, like at Cutty Flam and Iceburg's quarrels, or when he narrowly avoided a death sentence with the promise of the Puffing Tom and Spandam threatened an unprovoked house search. |
| 399 | * IRegretNothing: After using his pardon to save Franky and Iceberg from the judicial ship attack, Tom realizes that he's back to where he was when he was sentenced to death 14 years ago, but doesn't mind. He's proud to have helped Roger by building a ship, and sees that Water 7 has hope now thanks to his sea train. |
| 400 | * MadeOfIron: Tom had been bombarded by Franky's battleships and impaled in the shoulder by a harpoon, which Franky said was designed to never come out without serious disfigurement. Later, Tom ripped the spear out with one hand without flinching. |
| 401 | * MadLibsCatchPhrase: Tom tended to say "with gusto!" or "with a boom!", depending on the translation. In the original, it's "with a don!" |
| 402 | * NiceGuy: Tom was a kind-hearted Fish-man who didn't have any prejudice against humans, even adopting two human pupils, and improved Water 7's situation with his projects. |
| 403 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Tom was always cheerful and happy, and didn't flinch when he was arrested, but after Franky denied creating the Battle Franky battleships, Tom broke his handcuffs, slapped Franky and scolded him, telling him that a shipwright must always love their creations. Iceburg notes that he'd never seen Tom hit Franky before, despite Franky being a brat in his younger years. |
| 404 | * PapaWolf: Tom was a carefree, friendly, and easy to entertain Fish-man, but could become truly dangerous whenever his pupils, Franky and Iceburg, were threatened. This extended to the ships he built, since he believed a shipwright is like a father to his own ships. |
| 405 | * ParentalSubstitute: Tom basically adopted Iceburg and Franky, treating them like his own children and teaching them his own shipwright's skills. |
| 406 | * PosthumousCharacter: He's dead by the time the series starts, however he does leave a strong legacy behind. |
| 407 | * SecretKeeper: Tom was in possession of the blueprints for Pluton, a battleship strong enough to destroy entire islands, and hid them to prevent the World Government from getting their hands on the them. After his death, Iceburg kept hiding the blueprints in his place. |
| 408 | * SignatureLaugh: "Tata ha ha ha ha!". |
| 409 | * StoutStrength: Tom's portly and round physiques put a lot of emphasis on his arms, which are strong enough to carry huge pieces of wood. Justified because he's a Fish-man, who's naturally very strong on his own. |
| 410 | * SuperStrength: Tom was strong even by Fish-man standards, able to lift a ship with just one hand while the other lifted three masts. |
| 411 | * TakingTheHeat: To get Pluton's blueprints, Spandam and his men took control of Cutty Flam's ships and attacked Water 7. Iceburg and Cutty Flam were accused of this, but Tom took the blame, used the pardon from making the Sea Train to nullify his conviction and was executed in their place. |
| 412 | * UltimateBlacksmith: Or Ultimate Shipwright. Tom was the best shipwright in the world, and constructed Roger's ship and the Sea Train system, the latter of which saved Water 7 from decline by opening new routes of trade for the city. He was also the custodian of the blueprints for Pluton, the biggest battleship ever made. His two pupils, Franky and Iceburg, have become the best shipwrights of their generation as well. |
| 413 | * WorthIt: Though he does try to leverage his idea and creation of the Sea Train into a pardon for his creation of the ''Oro Jackson'', when he's forced to use it to save Franky and Iceberg, he admits that he's fine with the sentence because he's proud of his work in creating the ship. |
