Speaks with a slurred lisp (“That’sh only going to make Rodo happier!!”).

Notes

• Etymology: “Goldberg” — most likely pro wrestler Bill Goldberg (WCW/WWE), per the wrestler-naming theme Oda gives Elbaf giants (Road ← Road Warriors, Stansen ← Stan Hansen); the surname also reads literally as German/Jewish “gold mountain” (Gold + Berg). See etymology: frontmatter. (One Piece Wiki–sourced; medium confidence — wiki frames the wrestler link as “could have been named after.”)
