Appearance

Sheer bulk defines Tilestone, who stands well over eight feet tall. He keeps his brown hair gathered into a ponytail and wears a light brown beard, and a tattoo of the kanji for shipwright runs from near his shoulder down his arm, though usually only the leading character for ship stays visible. His everyday work clothes pair crimson elbow guards with knee-length pants and plain shoes.

For the assault on Enies Lobby he geared up for combat, slinging a cartridge belt around his right leg and hauling a massive firearm secured across his back by a second belt.

Personality

The man cannot lower his voice. Every word leaves him as a shout, even when the moment plainly calls for quiet, and he seems genuinely oblivious to the habit. His coworkers do their best to put up with it, repeatedly urging him to pipe down, yet his endless bellowing still grates on their nerves. Beneath the volume he is fiercely loyal to Iceburg, sharing Water 7's broad reverence for the man who rescued the city from ruin and willing to do anything to shield him.

Abilities

Beyond his craft as a shipwright, Tilestone wields extraordinary raw power, a trait dubbed Super-Superhuman Strength that serves him at the docks and in a fight alike. His foreman rank also grants him some command over the shipwrights working under him. In battle he favors either a giant hammer or an oversized handheld cannon. His named techniques include the Demi Cannon, firing a ship's bronze artillery piece by hand, the Ryukotsu Ori bear-hug that crushes enemies in his arms, the Trunnel Lock combo where he drives wooden pegs into a surface for Peepley Lulu to hammer home, and the Senkan Ho, a heavier blast from the same cannon.
