* BirdsOfAFeather: He and Usopp are both [[GadgeteerGenius born craftsman]]. And despite their rough first meeting, they naturally bond over their love for ships and are both often seen tending to the Sunny once Franky joins the crew. The twelfth OP even sees the two budling a suit of armor for an alpaca.

The Thousand Sunny alone is a testament to his genius at engineering and ship building, and he saved himself from the brink of death by turning his body cybetrnetic.

* CrazyIsCool: {{Invoked}}. This is the InUniverse opinion of him as far as Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp are concerned.

* ItRunsOnNonsensoleum: His cyborg functions are powered by carbonation! So is the ship he made, for that matter. It may also serve as an IncrediblyLamePun and a joke on SteamPunk, since the most popular brand of cola is [[RealLife Coke]] and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coke_%28fuel%29 coke]] is a type of fuel that was used in steam engines.

[=CP9=] had a better advantage since half of them lived in Water 7 for five years and personally knew him. Those who didn't know or understand Franky's abilities had a hard time countering him, especially since he's literally MadeOfIron.

** Franky's really used to showcase Oda's viewpoint on gender. Men, especially young boys, are generally impressed by Franky's various weapons, even Sanji (although he doesn't go crazy over all of it like Luffy does). On the other hand, women (like Robin and Nami) just don't understand what's so great about robots.



* ImmuneToBullets: Particularly important in the literal TakingTheBullet scene for Robin during the Enies Lobby arc. However, he's only immune in the front and not the back; after all, since he did all his modifications himself, he couldn't reach his back.

However, he's only immune in the front and not the back; after all, since he did all none of his modifications himself, he couldn't reach his back.



* InstantAwesomeJustAddMecha: Invoked; his weapons and robotics are enough to make the boys of the crew squeal in delight when he deploys them, and he's generally very appealing to little kids in-series. Even more self-serious characters like Sanji are impressed by his work (although he doesn't go crazy over all of it like Luffy does). On the other hand, women (like Robin and Nami) just don't understand what's so great about robots.



* KavorkaMan: Given his obscenely Frankenstein like appearance after the time skip, it was amazing he could charm Señor Pink's [[UnwantedHarem hired help]] the way he can. Though given that said hired help was also attracted to ''[[{{Gonk}} Señor]] [[KavorkaMan Pink]]'', it's possible that they were admiring his manly attitude more than anything.

* LargeHam: Natch. Undoubtedly the hammiest of all the Straw Hat Pirates. His full introduction to the series is accompanied by background drum riffs and smoke machines he pre-installed for dramatic flair. He once responded responds to a sad backstory by playing a somber tune on his guitar.



* ManOfTheCity: According to Iceburg, Franky made himself this for Water 7 because he felt responsible for their adoptive father Tom's death. He took the downtrodden dregs of the city and formed the Franky Family to get them off the streets, who he had work as salvagers and bounty hunters to give them legitimate work, and said work was intended to protect the city by taking out pirates that approached it.

* ManlyMan: Franky's really used to showcase Oda's viewpoint on gender. He alone is a ripped, overexposed bruiser with a heart of gold that other men, especially young boys, are impressed by.

This is first seen in the Water 7 arc and then brought up with more emphasis in the Dressrossa arc where Franky is cut off from most of Doflamingo's top lieutenants, so he makes do by battling his hapless rank-and-file before Señor Pink challenges him to an honorable duel where they straightforwardly exchange their strongest attacks mano-a-mano until one of them can't get back up again.

* InSeriesNickname: His real name is Cutty Flam, but Iceburg considered it weird and gave him the nickname Franky because of that. When Franky returned as a cyborg to Water 7, he used his real name to talk Iceburg, and after a secret meeting, Iceburg told him to use "Franky" as his new legal name instead when he entrusted him the blueprints of Pluton.

* LegallyDead: "Cutty Flam" has been officially declared dead by the World Government, so all crimes under this name cannot be charged at him. He can only be charged under his new name, Franky, which is also why his Wanted poster has the name "Franky" on it.



* LikesOlderWomen: Unlike [[LovableSexManiac Sanji]], [[ChivalrousPervert Brook]], and [[CovertPervert Usopp]], Franky has no interest in young beautiful women as he and Señor Pink stated in their battle Franky only kissing Qween (Smile factory Manger) to shut her up. Franky does however show interest in older women like Robin, and did show excitement when Nami ripped up Kalifa's clothes shouting "AOW!" and giving the thumbs up.

* MadeOfIron: In order to become a literal example of this, he somehow survived getting run over by the sea train, which would otherwise kill any normal person. After becoming a cyborg, he's still pretty durable even if he gets heavily damaged or injured.

* ShamelessFanserviceGuy: He's totally unbothered by the "no pants" situation.

* SiblingYinYang: With Iceburg, though they are adoptive siblings. Throughout their childhood, Iceburg was the dutiful, respectful sibling while Franky was violent and disruptive. This continues into their adulthood with their roles in Water 7. Iceburg becomes the beloved mayor of the island who unites all the shipwrights and helps maintain the city's prestigious status as the shipbuilding capital of the world. Franky takes over the city's seedy underbelly, reining in the criminal element and using them to keep the city safe from pirates, and is even celebrated by the city's lowlifes as the face of Water 7's underworld. Together the two of them make Water 7 a better place to live.
* SuperStrength: Franky's great physical strength is one of the things he can boast of. While his combat abilities may still be below the monster trio, his physical strength is very likely to be on par with them. He gives Luffy a run for his money when they first meet (as enemies). So he's likely still high up there after his post-TimeSkip upgrade.
* SwissArmyAppendage: Franky's arms have both been modified to add extra utility and weapons. His right fist is detachable and connected to a chain, allowing him to use it as a ranged punch or grappling hook. His left arm has multiple weapons built into it, including finger guns, a wrist-mounted machine gun, and a cannon with a targeting scope in his palm.

This is first seen in the Water 7 arc and then brought up with more emphasis in the Dressrossa arc where Franky is cut off from most of Doflamingo's top lieutenants, so he makes do by battling his hapless rank-and-file before Señor Pink challenges him to an honorable duel where they straightforwardly exchange their strongest attacks mano-a-mano until one of them can't get back up again.

Franky, real name Cutty Flam, is initially the leader of the Franky Family, a gang of villainous dismantlers living in Water 7 who provoke the Straw Hats' wrath by mugging Usopp and stealing most of their money. But after fighting against [=CP9=] together, he soon becomes friends with the other Straw Hats and becomes the crew's shipwright. His eccentric behavior ([[{{Catchphrase}} SUUUPPERRR!!]]) and habit of wearing very little other then his trusty speedos lead many to brand him a pervert (which he takes pride in), yet he is loyal and protective of his friends, often calling them his "little bros". He's also prone to striking poses and breaking out into [[InelegantBlubbering torrents of tears]] at the slightest hint of anything sentimental. As his epithet implies, he is a cyborg known as ''BF-36'' ([[FunWithAcronyms BF = Battle Franky]]) due to being hit by a sea train, then washing up on a scrap yard and using said scrap to modify his body to keep from dying. He later uses blueprints from the world's best scientist to upgrade himself to ''BF-37'' during the TimeSkip.\\\

->''"No matter what weapon you've got... Just BEING isn't a crime! '''Existing is not a crime!!!'''"''
-->--Chapter 375

Franky, real name Cutty Flam, is initially the leader of the Franky Family, a gang of villainous dismantlers living in Water 7 who provoke the Straw Hats' wrath by mugging Usopp and stealing most of their money. But after fighting against [=CP9=] together, he soon becomes friends with the other Straw Hats and becomes the crew's shipwright. His eccentric behavior ([[{{Catchphrase}} SUUUPPERRR!!]]) and habit of wearing very little other then his trusty speedos lead many to brand him a pervert (which he takes pride in), yet he is loyal and protective of his friends, often calling them his "little bros". He's also prone to striking poses and breaking out into [[InelegantBlubbering torrents of tears]] at the slightest hint of anything sentimental. As his epithet implies, he is a cyborg known as ''BF-36'' ([[FunWithAcronyms BF = Battle Franky]]) due to being hit by a sea train, then washing up on a scrap yard and using said scrap to modify his body to keep from dying. He later uses blueprints from the world's best scientist to upgrade himself to ''BF-37'' during the TimeSkip.\\\

His past is tied to Nico Robin's, as while she can read the location of the superweapon Pluton, he owns the blueprints themselves, with the plans having been passed down among the shipwrights of Water 7 for generations. After the World Government captures him along with Robin, he burns the blueprints and fights alongside the rest of the Straw Hats to save her. After the Straw Hats blackmail him through theft of his speedos at the end of the arc, he officially joins the crew.\\\

His dream is to build and sail on what he deems the greatest sailing ship on the seas, which results in the construction of the Straw Hats' new ship, the ''Thousand Sunny''.\\\

He has a bounty of 394,000,000 berries.[[note]]His first bounty of 44,000,000 is for his involvement in the Enies Lobby incident and his burning of the Pluton blueprints; it raises to 94,000,000 for his defeat of Señor Pink in Dressrosa. It raises to 394,000,000 for his defeat of Sasaki in Wano and becoming one of the senior officers within one of the Four Emperors crews.[[/note]]

* AchillesHeel: Because Franky did all his upgrades himself, everything (including his defenses) ended up in front, while his back is unchanged and vulnerable. Despite the upgrades he does on himself over the timeskip, this weakness remains. Senor Pink exploits his weakness[[spoiler: to land on Franky's back with a suplex from the top of a tower, but Franky is resilient enough to survive it]].
* AnatomyArsenal: Thanks to extensive self-modification after being hit by the sea train, Franky turned his body into a cyborg. Most of his weapons are in his massive forearms, but he packs them in anywhere, as anyone who deals with his Nipple Lights can attest. Even his sideburns are two retractable blades.
* AnimeHair: His Post-Timeskip hair changing feature includes relatively normal and probable styles (Mohawks, goldilocks), to styles normally expected by anime standards, to downright ''bizarre'' changes like the shape of a cannon or a whale.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Was very much this to [[TheDutifulSon Iceburg]], who's shown in flashbacks constantly bickering with Franky about how irresponsible and selfish he is.
* TheApprentice: He and Iceburg were the shipwright apprentices to the late Tom.
* ArcVillain: Subverted. Early in the Water 7 arc, Franky is presented as if he would be the arc's main antagonist as his group is responsible for stealing the Straw Hats' money, an act which leads to the fallout between Luffy and Usopp. However as events further unfold, Franky's position of supposed villain shifts to unexpected ally with the reveal of the arc's true villains, [=CP9=]. At the end of the arc, the money is used to buy top-of-the-line material for the Straw Hats' new ship.
* ArmCannon: Franky can combine both arms into a cannon for his most powerful attack, which he uses for the first time to finish off Fukuro. After the timeskip, Franky just needs his left arm, which is packed with an equally strong cannon. .
* ArtificialLimbs: To a near exaggerated extent. He's a soda-powered cyborg, having rebuilt his limbs and much of his body from the wrecks of his old battleships aka Battle Frankys.
* TheAtoner: Iceberg suggests that the creation of the Franky Family to give its members a living while stopping crime in Water 7 is Franky's atonement for indirectly condemning Tom to execution.
* BadassBiker:
** In ''Anime/OnePieceFilmStrongWorld'', he made two motorcycles out of a giant crayfish, which he called Zarley Davidson, and a giant grasshopper, which he called Batta GT-7000.
** Post-TimeSkip, he has built the Black Rhino FR-U IV, a massive rhino-themed caterpillar track motorcycle.
* BellBottomLimbedBots: Franky the cyborg has big, inflated forearms which becomes even bigger and boxy after the TimeSkip. Justified in that he puts many things in there, such as ammunition, long chain, a shield and a box of tools.
* BigFancySword: The Marauder's sword, the [[PunnyName Franken]].
* BigLittleBrother: Franky is four years younger than Iceburg, but as an adult he easily towers over his adoptive brother, especially with his latest body modifications.
* BlatantLies: He's not crying, damn it! [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial HE'S NOT!]]
* BlowYouAway: His [[GratuitousFrench Coup de Vent]] technique, which shoots a blast of compressed air at the opponent. After the TimeSkip, he has a one-handed version which acts as a HandBlast.
* BlueIsHeroic: Franky's represents the color cyan or light blue.
* BootstrappedLeitmotif: Franky's theme actually pre-dates Franky himself, originally being used for Usopp's 5-Ton Hammer escapade, and especially before that, when Luffy first meets Eyelashes.
* BoxingBattler: When he does fight hand-to-hand, he typically resorts to standard boxing moves, simply called "Franky Boxing". He's skilled enough at it that even when he doesn't have access to his arsenal, he's a tough customer.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: A running gag in the series is that of Franky being extremely compassionate whenever he overhears what he experiences a touching story or moment, causing him to cry uncontrollably.
* BuildingSwing: Like Luffy and Robin, he can use an expandable arm (his right forearm being connected to his bicep with a metal chain, in his case) to climb and swing from buildings.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Despite all of his eccentricities, never doubt the genius of Franky's work. A perfect example would be a recent addition to his body, [[spoiler:[[SarcasmMode Nipple Lights]].]]
* {{Catchphrase}}: [[GratuitousEnglish "SUPER!"]]
* ChickMagnet: If his interactions with Señor Pink are any indication, that plus the fact he spent his time as an underworld boss surrounded by two hotties everywhere he went.
* ChildProdigy: The reason Tom took him on as a shipwright apprentice -- he witnessed a then child-aged Franky make a cannon out of scrap that was lying about.
* CloudCuckoolander: With his eccentricity and his tendency to shut "SUPER!" whenever he can, there's no denying he's an ''odd'' man.
* CombatPragmatist: A former gang leader whose body is loaded with weapons, Franky is the dirtiest fighter in the crew, comfortable with blasting regular human opponents with heavy ordinance and even outright lying about what his cybernetics do to throw enemies off. This is first seen in the Water 7 arc and then brought up with more emphasis in the Dressrossa arc where Franky is cut off from most of Doflamingo's top lieutenants, so he makes do by battling his hapless rank-and-file before Señor Pink challenges him to an honorable duel where they straightforwardly exchange their strongest attacks mano-a-mano until one of them can't get back up again.
* CombiningMecha:
** The Iron Pirate Franky Shogun is composed of the Black Rhino FR-U IV and Brachio Tank V.
** Pre-TimeSkip, Franky attempts to form one of these with the other Straw Hats in Thriller Bark. Robin is mortified at the thought.
* CoolShades: Always wears a pair of sunglasses.
* CrazyIsCool: {{Invoked}}. This is the InUniverse opinion of him as far as Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp are concerned.
** Franky's really used to showcase Oda's viewpoint on gender. Men, especially young boys, are generally impressed by Franky's various weapons, even Sanji (although he doesn't go crazy over all of it like Luffy does). On the other hand, women (like Robin and Nami) just don't understand what's so great about robots.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Despite how he usually behaves, you really really don't want to get in a fight with him. Two close subordinates of Doflamingo learned this in a very painful way.
* CruelToBeKind: While he respects Usopp's devotion to his ship, he realizes that it would be suicidal to set out on a journey with the ''Going Merry'', which can't even reach the next island. He then tries to get Usopp to abandon the ''Merry'' by tearing chunks off of the ship, and then by throwing him into the water under the ship so he can get a good look at the damage.
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul:
** {{Averted|Trope}}. He's one of the most emotional Straw Hats, being extremely quick to laugh, cry, or get angry.
** PlayedForLaughs after the timeskip, as he occasionally repeats instructions in a robotic voice and (sometimes) adds the suffix "-robo" or "-mecha" to sentences, though it's implied he's showing off. Robin jokes (maybe) that she can't really consider him "human" anymore.
** On SBS 101, Oda imagines a BadFuture version of Franky who is fully roboticized by age 50. At age 70, this Franky-gone-wrong would turn himself into a battleship.
* {{Cyborg}}: It's even the epithet on his Wanted poster.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: After [[ParentalAbandonment being thrown overboard by his pirate parents]], Franky was taken in at Water 7, and trained to be a shipwright along with adoptive brother Iceburg. His mentor, Tom, was prosecuted for building Roger's ship, the ''Oro Jackson'', but cut a deal where he would build the Sea Train. After building it and four lines, he was framed by the World Government when they used ships built by Franky to attack Water 7. When they tried to take Tom to Enies Lobby to be executed Franky tried to stop the Sea Train, and got run over in the process.
* DebtDetester: A variant. He's noticeably grim when he states that with Kuma's personality now being [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul completely overwritten]], the Straw Hats owe him a debt they can never repay.
* {{Determinator}}: He turned ''himself'' into a cyborg... after getting ''hit by a train!''
* DrFakenstein: A subtle example, but it's there. While he doesn't mess around with corpses, he is a talented engineer who is more than willing to modify his own body and his name sounds close enough to [[Franchise/{{Frankenstein}} Frankenstein's]]. One Halloween-themed artwork also had him cosplaying as a FrankensteinsMonster, just to drive the point further.
* DrinkBasedCharacterization: Cola, which is his favorite drink as Oda confirmed which is justified as the drink is his main source of fuel.
* {{Eagleland}}: While the USA obviously doesn't exist in the world of ''One Piece'', Franky's appearance and personality are a very over-the-top mishmash of various stereotypes the Japanese have about Americans, and Oda claimed in an interview that if Franky were real, he'd hail from America. A full analysis can be found halfway down [[http://www.thegrandline.com/seventhprofile.html this page]].
* EmergencyTransformation: He rebuilt ''himself''. From the ''scraps of a derelict ship''. After ''being hit by a '''train'''''. Heck, this guy gives [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]] a run for his money, [[MadeOfIron appropriately]] [[IncrediblyLamePun enough]].
* EnergyWeapon: After the time skip, he's developed this as a finishing move called the Franky [[TotallyRadical Radical]] Beam as a replacement to his Coup de Vent. Which, according to Anime/OnePieceFilmZ, can wipe out ''[[MechaMooks Pacifistas.]]''
* ExpressiveHair: His hair style automatically changes according to what he's fueling himself with at the time. While he usually uses cola, which makes it stand up in a sort of pompadour, it tends to hang-down and wilt when he's running on empty, has a more onion-like shape if he uses vegetable juice and a more wavy style when using tea. Post-TimeSkip, his hair can change between infinite styles with a push on his nose. Oda has decided to make this a RunningGag.
* {{Expy}}: According to Eiichiro Oda, his initial look is based on [[Film/AceVentura Ace Ventura]].
* {{Fanboy}}: Following the TimeSkip he becomes an unashamed fanboy of Vegapunk because he studied his inventions and was deeply impressed by them. [[spoiler:He's outright gushing when he meets him (Or rather ''[[LiteralSplitPersonality them]]'') in person during the Egghead arc]].
* {{Fartillery}}: He can channel his Coup de Vent attack out of his posterior ...resulting in a name change to Coup de Boo.
* FingerFirearms: Before the Timeskip, he had the "ability" to open his finger like a door hinge and fire a bullet.
* {{Foil}}: His past in relation to Nami's. Both grew up adopted with a sibling, with both children and the parent all the same gender. While Nami's adoptive parent was a former Marine killed by a Fish-man, Franky's adoptive parent was a Fish-man killed by the Government to which the Marines are associated.
* AFoolAndHisNewMoneyAreSoonParted: Zigzagged, and ultimately subverted. Back when he was a villain, Franky and his Family blew a lot of the money they stole from the Straw Hats on booze and parties, and a large part of the remainder went into the huge party the crew had to celebrate their victory in Enies Lobby. However, most of the money went to a much better use, as Franky used it to buy some Adam wood which he used to build the ''Thousand Sunny''.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: While they're not brothers by blood, Franky had this dynamic with Iceberg. One guess as to who was the former.
* FriendToAllChildren: Or more specifically to all boys (girls react to him and anything he does with a blank stare). After the Timeskip, most kids he comes across tend to get starstruck at the sight of ([[{{Cyborg}} what they think is]]) an actual robot right in front of them. And Franky is all too happy to oblige in showing his features to them. In Punk Hazard, he steps up with Sanji to hold off the guards from killing the kids being experimented on, saying disappointing them is not an option.
* FullConversionCyborg: He started out human... until he was hit by a train. This required him to transform himself into a cyborg to survive, with only some of his organs and back remaining unchanged due to his being incapable of reaching it. During the two-year timeskip, Franky further modifies his body.
* FullNameBasis: To Robin, when he first joined the crew. It eventually switches to FirstNameBasis. Justified, as Nico Robin was a sort of bogeyman to him when he was younger, and as he gets to know her she stops being a mythic figure and becomes a person.
* GadgeteerGenius: Franky was able to ''remake'' his own body.
* GatlingGood: There's a machine gun in the knuckles of his left hand.
* GeniusBruiser: Built fully functioning robotic prostheses out of random junk from scratch and attached them himself, while severely injured. Also the largest of the Straw Hats by a good margin, with a body that is mostly made of literal iron.
* GentleGiant: Becomes very apparent around children and normal people. Beneath the hard metal shell of his gigantic body is a really soft center.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: After the TimeSkip, Franky now has two stitch-mark scars on his torso running down from the back of his neck indicating that he had sewn his skin back on.
* GratuitousEnglish: Probably the most frequent user outside of [[CallingYourAttacks combat]].
* HeelFaceTurn: Initially introduced as the leader of a gang who acted as villains for most of the Water 7 arc.
* HiddenDepths: Iceberg suggests different reasons for why he became a mob boss. Recruiting the bums and thugs off the streets gives them stable employment, and the job they do (hunting down pirates and dismantling their ships) is good for Water 7 as a whole.
* HotBloodedSideburns: Weaponized. His "Franky Triangle Jacker" consists of him plucking off his sideburns and throwing them like sharp boomerangs.
* HumongousMecha:
** The Iron Pirate Franky Shogun.
** In a hilarious subversion of what normally would be expected of a giant mecha, it proved pretty useless in its first appearance, as the only attacks that actually hit the opponents were the ones used by Franky by momentarily coming out of the cockpit. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Robin, who wondered why he had brought it out in the first place. [[DoubleSubversion Double subverted HARD]] [[CurbStompBattle when it fought Baby 5 and Buffalo]].
** [[DoubleSubversion Until Franky revealed]] that he has a scaled-down copy of the ''Thousand Sunny's'' Gaon Cannon, called the General Cannon, built into the thing. Nothing says surprise quite like getting hit by a compressed air stream that can blow up an entire ship.
* HyperspaceArsenal: How he fits everything inside his body is probably best left unanswered.
* IconicOutfit: Open, loud red Hawaiian shirt? Sharp black shades? Inappropriately small blue speedo? It could only be SUUUUUUUUUUUUPER Franky of course!
* ImmuneToBullets: Particularly important in the literal TakingTheBullet scene for Robin during the Enies Lobby arc. However, he's only immune in the front and not the back; after all, since he did all his modifications himself, he couldn't reach his back.
* ImportantHaircut: He got one of these after the TimeSkip, but can revert to his old style or change to a new one by pressing his nose for more than three seconds.
* ImprobableHairstyle: Since the timeskip, he can change his hairstyle by pressing his nose. Some of them are really bizarre, like rifle-shaped hair.
* InelegantBlubbering: Will bawl his eyes out whenever he hears a sad story. Considering that almost everyone in the One Piece world has some kind of tragic past, this happens a lot.
* InsultBackfire: He takes "pervert" as a compliment.
* ItRunsOnNonsensoleum: His cyborg functions are powered by carbonation! So is the ship he made, for that matter. It may also serve as an IncrediblyLamePun and a joke on SteamPunk, since the most popular brand of cola is [[RealLife Coke]] and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coke_%28fuel%29 coke]] is a type of fuel that was used in steam engines.
* ItsPersonal: He takes on [=CP9=] because of his grudge against Spandam for getting his mentor and father figure killed. He also has a vested interest in saving Robin, because keeping her out of government hands prevents their access to the ancient weapon Pluton.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Franky starts out seemingly just a bully who picks on the weakest and most vulnerable of the Straw Hats just because he can. During [[WhamEpisode Enies Lobby,]] more of his HiddenDepths get shown, revealing that he's actually a massive softie with a tough exterior. Even his previous jerkishness was mainly Franky's way of trying to protect Water 7 and the thugs and outcasts who looked up to him. Even after his HeelFaceTurn, he's abrasive and boisterous, but is still has his soft center.
* KavorkaMan: Given his obscenely Frankenstein like appearance after the time skip, it was amazing he could charm Señor Pink's [[UnwantedHarem hired help]] the way he can. Though given that said hired help was also attracted to ''[[{{Gonk}} Señor]] [[KavorkaMan Pink]]'', it's possible that they were admiring his manly attitude more than anything.
* KickTheDog: In one scene Franky and a couple of enemy agents see each other at a distance, said agents decide they have no reason to attack an unknown bystander, on the other hand Franky just starts shooting them. It is never justified why he attacked them, though given his history with government agents, it was probably just out of spite.
* ALadyOnEachArm: Used to be the case with the Square Sisters; Mozu and Kiwi back in his mafia days. Even two years later at the final stages of the Dressrosa Arc shows that he's still got it, having smitten some of Señor Pink's fanbase with his charm.
* LargeHam: Natch. He once responded to a sad backstory by playing a somber tune on his guitar.
* TheLeader: Before becoming the shipwright of the Straw Hat Pirates, Franky is the underworld boss of Water 7 and the leader of the Franky Family.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYWW7vBz8MQ Franky Eyecatcher.]]
* LikesOlderWomen: Unlike [[LovableSexManiac Sanji]], [[ChivalrousPervert Brook]], and [[CovertPervert Usopp]], Franky has no interest in young beautiful women as he and Señor Pink stated in their battle Franky only kissing Qween (Smile factory Manger) to shut her up. Franky does however show interest in older women like Robin, and did show excitement when Nami ripped up Kalifa's clothes shouting "AOW!" and giving the thumbs up.
* LostInTranslation: Some of the situations involving Franky and the word "pervert" are actually Japanese pun-based jokes involving "{{Hentai}}!" (abnormality) and the more traditional {{Toku}} phrase "Henshin!" (transform) commonly used in {{Sentai}} series. While "hentai" can also mean "metamorphosis", its more common meaning of "weirdo" or "pervert" creates [[HilarityEnsues obvious humor]].
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Hilariously parodied. The forearm is actually ''much'' larger than the Iron Pirate Franky Shogun's shield.
* MadScientist: PlayedForLaughs. He is a prodigy in cybernetics who has added some truly bizarre features to his cybernetic form, such as having his legs extend forward to become a "centaur", detachable sideburns that can be used as boomerangs, the function to fart with such force that he is able to "rocket jump", and in the timeskip, he added functions like nipple lights and the ability to change his hair by pressing his nose.
* MagneticHero: Because of his unbiased and protective attitude, he is quick in making friends and allies with the most unlikely of individuals, such as street thugs and pirates. He is seen as a 'big brother' figure, and is admired by many for his efforts to protect them, such as Nico Robin and the Franky Family.
* ManOfTheCity: According to Iceburg, Franky made himself this for Water 7 because he felt responsible for their adoptive father Tom's death. He took the downtrodden dregs of the city and formed the Franky Family to get them off the streets, who he had work as salvagers and bounty hunters to give them legitimate work, and said work was intended to protect the city by taking out pirates that approached it.
* ManlyTears: Whenever Franky hears a sob-story, his eyes turn into rivers. He does it so often it's a personality trait. Since the time-skip, he seems to have grown past his usual SandInMyEyes routine (such as in Dressrosa where he openly admits that the tragedy of the country's backstory is bringing him to tears), and become more honest about his emotions.
* MeaningfulRename: His original name was "Cutty Flam" but Iceburg decided to nickname him "Franky" because "Cutty Flam is a weird name".
* MightyGlacier: The slowest Straw Hat in the crew; Oda says that he would rank last in a 50 meter race with the rest of the crew because he weighs the most. Not that he's snail-slow or anything, but he runs and moves about as fast as a normal, athletic man his age and size is expected to. But when it comes to raw strength, he's easily the 5th strongest Straw Hat, just behind the Monster Trio and Jimbei.
* MustMakeAmends: After failing to save Tom, Frank gave up his true love of building ships. He instead did the best he could to support Water 7 with the Franky Family, giving the destitute and hopeless a new purpose while hunting down dangerous pirates. Iceberg recognizes he was doing this as a sort of penance, and after Enies Lobby convinces Franky he can finally stop denying his own desires.
* MyGreatestFailure: His Battle Franky ships being stolen by Spandam and used to attack the judicial ship in order to frame him, Tom, and Iceberg, injuring the latter two in the process. This motivated his decision to give up on making ships.
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: The Straw Hats stole his speedo to convince him to join them.
* NeverGetsFat: He drinks cola. A ''lot''. Although justified, since his body is mostly robotic and the cola actually ''gives'' him more strength!
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: On the island he was sent to, he unintentionally self-destructed the laboratory of Dr. Vegapunk, the smartest man in the ''One Piece'' world. His lab was considered a treasure to the Marines.
** He ended up doing this twice.
** In his past, all the ships that he built end up getting used to frame him, Tom, and Iceberg for attacking the judicial ship as part of Spandam's plan to confiscate Pluton's blueprints.
* TheNicknamer: He used to nickname his crewmates, calling them by attribute-related monikers like "curly eyebrow" or "skeleton" instead of their real names (Except for Robin, who he referred to [[FullNameBasis by her full name]]). Much like Robin, he stops using nicknames as he gets closer to his crewmates.
* NighInvulnerable:
** Franky's armored body can resist almost anything, even more so after the time skip. Only from the front, though. He couldn't reach his back so it's totally unarmored.
** His Iron Pirate robot is even tougher, able to take a barrage of ordinance from Baby 5 that she claimed would have been enough to damage a Pacifista. She had to turn into a sickle to penetrate its armor.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Some fans believe he might be based off of Creator/JimCarrey.
** His post-TimeSkip body seems to modeled after [[Music/BlackFlag Henry Rollins]].
** He was also created after Eiichiro Oda heard all of Kazuki Yao's voice work as Jango and Bon Clay, specifically designed to give him a permanent casting role. Before this, Oda had actually intended to make him humorously ''diminutive. ''
* NoShirtLongJacket: Downplayed. Franky's standard outfit keeps his shirt permanently unbuttoned, leaving his chest and his abs exposed. Starting from the Punk Hazard Arc, however, Franky's outfits cover his body, although he sometimes unbutton them to shoot lasers from his nipples.
* OddFriendship: With Brook. He's initially the only Straw Hat to hold prejudice against Brook for being a [[{{Dehumanization}} skeleton that would only have a miserable life if he carried on in society.]] [[WhatTheHellHero An opinion that Robin scolds him for.]] But once hearing the story of carrying on with the promise to meet Laboon, he grows to have great respect for Brook. After the time skip, Franky believed Brook wouldn't return to the crew becoming a famous rock star, but is overjoyed to see him after 2 years and continues to show him respect even greeting him first on Zou before the other Straw Hats.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: He was renamed by adoptive brother Iceberg, who found his real name silly. Everyone has called him Franky ever since.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: On Egghead [[spoiler:he actually wears pants. Given how much of a special occasion that getting to meet '''the''' Doctor Vegapunk is for [[{{Fanboy}} him]], it's not hard to see why he'd let this one slide]].
* OutOfFocus: Zoro, Robin, Usopp, and Franky are all completely absent during the Whole Cake Island arc due to heading for Wano instead. This mirrors Nami, Chopper, Sanji, and Brook's absence during most of the Dressrosa Arc.
* OutsideContextProblem: Franky when he was first introduced. The Straw Hats didn't know how to really fight him since he's a cyborg. They actually thought he was a Devil Fruit user. [=CP9=] had a better advantage since half of them lived in Water 7 for five years and personally knew him. Those who didn't know or understand Franky's abilities had a hard time countering him, especially since he's literally MadeOfIron.
* PowerPalms: Can shoot a burst of highly compressed and destructive [[BlowYouAway air]] from his palms.
* PowerSource: Cola it's his main source of power, though others drinks works too but gives him a different personality. In his pre-timeskip appearance, whenever he's out of energy, his hair droops.
* PoweredArmor: The "Franky Shogun" mecha-suit, which he also refers to as "Armored Me". He can fire [[EnergyWeapon laser beams]], [[BlowYouAway highly compressed bursts of air]], and wield a [[KatanasAreJustBetter giant katana]], among other things. Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper personally consider it the coolest thing ever, likening it to a HumongousMecha. Still, Franky is unhappy that the Marines apparently mistaken it for his real body, as his current Wanted poster features the suit rather than his real face.
* RatedMForManly: His fight with Señor Pink isn't a simple exchange of attacks, it's also a context for who's the manliest. [[spoiler:Franky wins.]]
* RedBaron: "{{Cyborg}}". After Dressrosa it becomes "Iron Man".
* RidiculouslyFastConstruction: Played for laughs several times during the Thriller Bark arc, when, among other things, he builds a bridge [[RuleOfFunny with flower motifs and frills]] in the time it took the others to blink, and builds a staircase leading up to super-giant Oars as fast as another crewmember is able to climb it. Best shipwright/carpenter/engineer ever.
* RocketPunch: With all of the homages to fighting robot series in his character, it's no surprise he can do this. Though, cleverly, his hand is attached to his forearm with a chain so it comes back after being fired. He can only perform this with his right arm.
* SandInMyEyes: Often brought to tears by sentimental backstories. He always denies it prior to the time-skip.
* SceneryCensor: In episode 321 of the anime, his family snatches his speedo and takes it to the Straw Hats to get him to go with them, making him run through town bottomless. While the show has no problem showing his rear end, they occasionally use this to obscure the front.
* ScienceHero: Considering that everything is operated on ''cola,'' it's hard ''not'' to hit this trope.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: In the English dub he and Brook do this when Oars is about to throw a tower at them. In his defense though [[OhCrap that's probably an appropriate reaction to have in that situation]].
* SelfSurgery: On the verge of death after being run down by a train when he was 22 years old, Franky rebuilt himself using spare parts from an abandoned ship. As he was alone at the time, he was unable to modify his back, making it the only part of his body that is still flesh and blood.
* SenselessSacrifice: A non-fatal version happens on the sea train, when he helps separate the car Sanji, Robin and Sogeking are from the one the [=CP9=] agents are on, in hopes that it will help Robin get away. Unfortunately, Blueno uses his Devil Fruit powers to bridge the gap between the cars and take Robin away, resulting in the heroes losing both Franky and Robin for the moment.
* ShamelessFanserviceGuy: Mainly the "no pants" variety. His flashback even has him reluctantly wear pants because Iceberg tells him too. When the Franky Family tries to force him to leave with the Straw Hats by [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext stealing his underwear]], he never tries to cover up when running after them; eventually, he even lets the Straw Hats keep it while ''striking his signature pose in public''! Even when he finally relents, he leaps onto the ''Sunny'' still half-naked while Zoro tells him to PleasePutSomeClothesOn. In his canon {{Filler}} segment on Vegapunk's island, he declines pants because [[SlaveToPR he wants to keep his "freak" reputation]].
* ShoulderCannon: Has a couple of 'em that [[{{Squick}} dislocate his shoulder blades]]. He gets a Shoulder Rocket Launcher and a more functional ShoulderCannon after Time-skip.
* ShroudedInMyth: Because of his antics in the island of Baldimore, he caused "The Nightmare of Baldimore", and he accidentally set fire to the tiger skin he was wearing to mask himself and ran out scaring the suspicious Marines chasing him, becoming "The Burning Beast of Baldimore" to make legends for generations to come.
* ShutUpKiss: To stop Kyuin from talking, he kisses her and she ends up in a PostKissCatatonia.
* SiblingYinYang: With Iceburg, though they are adoptive siblings. Throughout their childhood, Iceburg was the dutiful, respectful sibling while Franky was violent and disruptive. This continues into their adulthood with their roles in Water 7. Iceburg becomes the beloved mayor of the island who unites all the shipwrights and helps maintain the city's prestigious status as the shipbuilding capital of the world. Franky takes over the city's seedy underbelly, reining in the criminal element and using them to keep the city safe from pirates, and is even celebrated by the city's lowlifes as the face of Water 7's underworld. Together the two of them make Water 7 a better place to live.
* SuperStrength: Franky's great physical strength is one of the things he can boast of. While his combat abilities may still be below the monster trio, his physical strength is very likely to be on par with them. He gives Luffy a run for his money when they first meet (as enemies). So he's likely still high up there after his post-TimeSkip upgrade.
* SwissArmyAppendage: Franky's arms have both been modified to add extra utility and weapons. His right fist is detachable and connected to a chain, allowing him to use it as a ranged punch or grappling hook. His left arm has multiple weapons built into it, including finger guns, a wrist-mounted machine gun, and a cannon with a targeting scope in his palm.
* TankTreadMecha: He can turn his legs into tank treads for faster movement.
* TeamDad: According to Oda. He's of the [[BumblingDad bumbling]] variety, however. He certainly was one to the Franky Family as well. Amusingly, after Jimbei officially joins the crew, a later [=SBS=] gave Jimbei the new title of TeamDad and Franky got the official designation of "perverted granny" ([[{{Irony}} despite Franky being younger then Jimbei]]).
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: During the battle of Enies Lobby, despite Franky wanting to save Robin from [=CP9=], the other Straw Hats don't trust him with many of them, justifiably, holding a grudge against him for beating up Usopp and stealing their money, which inadvertently led to Usopp leaving the crew. Thankfully after proving his worth to the Straw Hats by protecting Robin, freeing her from her Sea Prism Stone handcuffs, and fighting alongside them [[FireForgedFriends the Straw Hats warm up to him]] and, by the time he uses the money he stole to build them a new ship, they are ready to adopt him into the Crew as their shipwright.
* TestosteronePoisoning: Acting like a mob boss in Water 7, the CoolShades he almost always wears, LargeHam tendencies, pretending [[MenDontCry he isn't crying]] when he gets saddened by something, not to mention a battle of one-upmanship in being "manly" against one of Doflamingo's executives (who happens to be a man dressed like a baby...) -- Let's face it, he is this trope.
* ThatManIsDead: As part of Iceberg's plan to hide the Pluton blueprints, "Cutty Flam" died when he tried to stop Tom from being taken by the Government.
* ThisIsADrill: There's a drill on the top of the Iron Pirate Franky Shogun's head.
* ThrowingYourShieldAlwaysWorks: One of the the Iron Pirate Franky Shogun's attack, General Shield Boomerang, consists of throwing away the shield. Ironically, it's also the only way to make the shield useful, since its comically small and doesn't even cover the forearm.
* TopHeavyGuy: Franky is of rather normal proportions before his accident with the Puffing Tom, albeit a bit lanky. After he rebuilt himself, his arms and torso have become much wider and bulkier, while his legs haven't changed much. This is even more extreme after the TimeSkip, where further modifications have made him a lot taller and his arms ''massive'', while his legs haven't changed a bit. Oda reveals in one SBS that he has to sleep on a special cushion due to his inability to lay dow normally thanks to the massive spheres on his shoulders. Franky Shogun, just like him, has massive arms and an even bigger torso, but stick-like legs.
* TrouserSpace: Apparently he keeps the hammer he uses to build things in his speedo...
* TrrrillingRrrs: In the anime (Japanese dub). "[[GratuitousEnglish Good smell! Flllllavor]]!"
* UnfortunateNames: His real name is Cutty Flam. Iceberg, one of the few who knows it, was the one who convinced him to change it.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Iceburg, who even lampshades it.
-->"Look at us... we yell as soon as we look at each other. You jerk! I'm glad you're alive!"
* WalkingSwimsuitScene: He is a {{Parody}} of this in every sense of the word, considering he wears a ''speedo.''
* WeCanRebuildHim: More like "He Can Rebuild ''Himself''". As previously mentioned, he became a cyborg after being run over by the Puffing Tom, surviving, and then refitting his own body with mechanical parts. In fact, he's rebuilt himself twice! After causing the "Nightmare of Baldimore" and incinerating his own skin, he rebuilds himself into an even bigger and more powerful body, incorporating plans from Dr. Vegapunk himself.
* WorthyOpponent: Considers Señor Pink this. The two of them reached an unspoken agreement during their fight to take each other's blows without even attempting to avoid them until one of them finally fell. Afterwards, Franky says he'd like to meet Señor again and hear the story of his wife Russian over drinks.
* WouldHitAGirl: As his fight against Baby 5 can testify.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: He randomly busts out a German suplex against the Smile factory leader Kyuin, despite having never used such maneuvers before. It's implied that he learned it from fighting Señor Pink, who almost exclusively uses the manoeuvre to attack.
* YouKilledMyFather: Franky utterly loathes Spandam for arresting his [[MentorArchetype mentor]]/[[ParentalSubstitute father-figure]] Tom and sentencing him to death and Franky does his best to make Spandam's life absolute hell every time they come into contact. When Spandam [[KickTheDog kicks]] Tom unconscious upon arrest, Franky promptly breaks his face with the [[PistolWhipping butt of a rifle]] (''permanently disfiguring him''), causing Spandam much grief. But if that wasn't enough, when meeting him again after twenty years, Franky, despite being chained, [[ManBitesMan bites]] Spandam's skull and refuses to let go, forcing Kumadori to separate them. But Franky doesn't just perform physical revenge for Tom, he also burns Tom's blueprints for Pluton, the Ancient Weapon (which the TheGovernment have been seeking for years) directly in front of Spandam's face, causing Spandam to go [[VillainousBreakdown spare]].
