Of all the Straw Hat Pirates in One Piece, Franky is by far the most unique member of the crew due to the nature of his character. Even though Franky's physique doesn't reflect his true powers, we certainly think it's worth getting a glimpse of his powers and abilities. That's why we've embarked on a journey to discover just how strong Franky is, and this article will actually be the first article on our site to explore Franky's powers and abilities. In this article, you'll find out if Franky ate a Devil Fruit in the manga and anime series One Piece.

Franky didn't eat a Devil Fruit in One Piece. He is one of the few characters in the series to become famous despite not possessing any special Devil Fruit powers. Although Franky is one of the most powerful members of Luffy's crew, everything he's done so far is a result of his modifications and training. It seems unlikely that Franky will eat a Devil Fruit in the future.

The rest of this article will focus on Franky's character in One Piece. We'll tell you if Franky ate a Devil Fruit and some general information about his powers and abilities. This article may contain a smaller number of spoilers, so be careful while reading.

Does Franky have a Devil Fruit?

Franky, actually "Cutty" Framm, is a cyborg and the ship's carpenter for the Straw Hat Gang after they rescued him and Robin from Enies Hall. He dreams of building a ship that will take him around the world. This ship is said to be the Straw Hat Gang's new ship, which the gang received as a thank you. However, in order for the dream ship to do this, he accepted Luffy's offer to join him.

He's currently an indispensable member of Luffy's crew in their adventures in the pirate world. But does Franky have a Devil Fruit? He's certainly quite powerful and could be a Devil Fruit user, but we can confirm that he doesn't have a Devil Fruit in One Piece.

The fact that Franky didn't eat a Devil Fruit makes him one of the few prominent characters who achieved fame and popularity in the pirate world without eating a Devil Fruit. We know that Franky is one of the physically strongest characters in the entire series, and over time, he's managed to become a formidable foe, as recent events have shown. This is a direct result of his training and hard work, especially his body modifications, which is why it's even better.

As for the future, we highly doubt Oda will make Franky eat a Devil Fruit. It wouldn't make much sense from a developmental perspective, and it's a bit too late now. It could happen accidentally, but we don't think Oda will go for it. It just wouldn't make much sense. Besides, Oda has already told us what Franky's Devil Fruit would be, which implies it'll never happen.

Namely, while Franky didn't actually consume a Devil Fruit, author Eiichiro Oda revealed what would have happened in the SBS (a fan Q&A section) for volume 98 if Franky had consumed a Devil Fruit. Here's the full transcript:

D: If Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, and Franky had become ability users, then what kind of fruit do you think they would have eaten? -PN 420-plot

O: I see, that's a pretty funny question~. Hmmm... what I'd like to see is... Zoro: Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu (Fish Fish Fruit, Mythic Type Model: Seiryuu) Nami: Goro Goro no Mi (Rumble Rumble Fruit) (Lightning Human) Usopp: Poke Poke no Mi (Pocket Pocket Fruit) (Infinite pockets in the body) Sanji: Sui Sui no Mi (Swim Swim Fruit) Franky: Buki Buki no Mi (Arms Arms Fruit)

Zoro: I'd rather have the sword transform into a dragon than Zoro. I think that would be incredibly cool. Nami: A true weather lady, now no one can stop her (except Luffy). Usopp: The perfect pocket for someone like Usopp who always has something up his sleeve. Sanji: It allows you to slide through walls or swim on the ground. If it were given to Sanji, it would become a pretty nasty ability. Franky: You can't get a better ability than that for Franky.

What are Franky's powers and abilities?

Now that we've explained that the source of Franky's powers isn't a Devil Fruit, it's only fair to talk a little about his powers and abilities later in this article. In terms of physical strength, Franky is one of the most powerful members of the crew: years spent destroying ships and hunting pirates have developed his formidable strength. Even when he was running low on cola, he managed to stop an elephant's charge, lift it by its trunk, and crush it to the ground, leaving no escape. In his first fight with CP9, Franky managed to outrun Blueno's Tekkai and did the same with Fukuro's, keeping pace with the enemy Soru and ultimately defeating him.

Even when he faced Luffy at Water Seven, he managed to hold his own for a while before their duel was interrupted by the Galley-La company's carpenters. He also possesses exceptional strength. In fact, he always got back on his feet, despite being brutally defeated twice within a few hours by Oars, who had Luffy's shadow in his body. At the end of the fight, he survived a gunshot and an air bomb thrown by Bartholomew Kuma, in addition to his previous injuries.

He also received thirty consecutive suplexes from Senor Pink, though he made no attempt to defend himself, including one in particular that knocked him off a tower onto a stone path, getting back up and continuing to strike until defeating the opponent. Recovering shortly after, he pushed the Smile Plant, aided by the dwarves, against Doflamingo's birdcage to slow it down, though he was seriously injured. His fighting style relies primarily on the use of weapons mounted on his body and boxing, though he does not hesitate to play dirty.

But what is his most important feature is the fact that Franky is a human transformed into a cyborg: his body, in fact, possesses numerous artificial objects. The author of these changes is Franky himself, who managed to work the front of his body but not the back, which is therefore vulnerable and constitutes his weak point. Inside his body are numerous firearms and melee weapons. He can also breathe fire and nails. All of this is fueled by cola, and the availability of cola is decisive for the power of the blows Franky can deliver.

Other drinks can be used as fuel but have limited effectiveness. His personality is also affected by the type of drink he kept in the refrigerator instead of his stomach. The initial modifications he made to his body made him one of his own creations, which is why he tattooed the writing BF-36 on his shoulders, indicating that this is the thirty-sixth of his Battle Frankies. During the two years he spent separated from his comrades, Franky radically rebuilt his body. The fact that Franky spent two years in one of Vegapunk's old laboratories suggests that the improvements are substantial. In addition to this vast fortune, Franky had two years to work on his new body.

For this reason, he decides to redesign himself to create the BF-37. However, as before, its back remains unchanged, which is its weak point. Although it is a self-propelled weapon, Franky also carries items with him that he believes might be useful. In addition to the tools necessary for his role as a carpenter, he owns nunchucks and firearms. He also possesses good skills in handling melee weapons: against Tararan, he constructed enormous nunchucks by placing a normal pair in two enormous concrete columns and used them effortlessly.
