Patty

Patty stands as a broad, heavily built man whose forearms look almost too big for his frame, the left upper arm marked with a pair of heart tattoos. His mouth is wide and full-lipped, and dark hair fans out into an ornate goatee shaped around his jaw. He customizes his Baratie attire into a dark double-breasted top with matching shorts and a white apron, finishing it with a pink ascot, a right-ear earring, and a braided headband.

Before the timeskip he kept his scalp shaved close, but he later let the hair grow out. Now that he runs the dessert side of the operation, his apron carries the label reading Baratie Dessert.

Among the Baratie staff, Patty puts on the most deliberately polished act, greeting diners with flamboyant poses and catchphrases. That veneer hides a rough, fiery nature shared by his coworkers: he treats blunt insults as friendly banter and feels no guilt about hurling vagrants and lawbreakers out the door. For all that crudeness, he is genuinely courageous and devoted to the restaurant, ready to put his life on the line to protect it, and capable of real kindness even toward those who oppose him.

As the Baratie's official patissier, Patty is a seasoned chef with sharp knife skills, able to slice and debone a large fish at speed, and Zeff trusts him enough to run the Sister Anko dessert ship. Though he falls short of Sanji or Zeff in combat, his bulk and years of unofficial bouncer duty make him one of the kitchen's stronger fighters, strong enough to shatter a chair with a seated Gin still on it in a single bare-handed blow.

In a fight he favors a trident taller than he is, and alongside Carne's glaive the two routed Krieg's men when other cooks were overwhelmed. He keeps a fine carving knife etched with the characters for Fist of the North Star tucked under his apron. Against the most dangerous foes he hauls out the Shokuatari Meatball, a lobster-shaped bazooka firing heavy explosive rounds, and with Carne he can crew the mini-warship Sabagashira I.
