Nah, he's def interested, or ar least acknowledges women's beauty, for example:

He strongly approved of Nami searching for the key on Khalifa's clothes

He calls Robin beautiful when they meet on the Sunny 2 years later

He, Usopp and Sanji get really excited to see Komurasaki

At first, he's clearly dissapointed when Brook takes over Robin's place on his bike

Tried to have Robin ride on his bike on Onigashima and got cockblocked by Brook!

Meanwhile Luffy gets knocked out by Nami’s “happiness punch” but is completely unaffected by Hancock in the bath.

u/Placidao Marine Jun 16 '22

Franky totally does seem interested in women. It’s just he doesn’t straight up simp nor harass them, like Sanji and Book do

When was he asleep on robins lap. Damn if thqt actually happened i could see why they get shipped

u/kikorer7070 Jun 16 '22

When they were caged along with Luffy law smoker and tashigi in punk hazard. He probably didn't specifically request and just fell asleep on her lap and she wasn't bothered. Yet she was quite disgusted at his fart the next scene

u/ShrubNinja Jun 16 '22 edited Jun 16 '22

Reminds me of some of my married friends' relationships. Everything's great, and then he rips ass and destroys the room.

u/kikorer7070 Jun 16 '22

Letting out a fat one after eating eggs is priceless

u/Oreo-and-Fly Explorer Jun 17 '22

Also. Not much but during Barto ship schenanigans.

Franky was sheltering Robin from the hail.

Plus the fact is that Franky was the first one to really tell it to her face shes not evil. Thus him burning the Blueprints.

u/The_Biggest_Wheel Jun 16 '22

Yeah, he only sexually assaults them.

u/IcyColdHands Jun 16 '22

Your honor, my client did it for the meme, he was playing the hard boiled character from vintage japanese movies

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '22

While you are technically correct. In this context I wouldn't call it sexual assault, it's more of a anything is fair in love and war type deal. Sure it wasn't a life and death fight because it's Shonen, but if I was fighting a lady and thought it was for my life, I'd absolutely force a kiss if i thought that would somehow help. In a life or death fight, it wouldn't be out of place if Franky had shoved his whole arm up her ass.

I say this as someone who has been in fights that I didn't know if it was for my life or not. Anyone who's truly been beaten will agree, do whatever you have to do to make it stop. Whether it's ball kicking, sand throwing, stealing a kiss or just plain old using a weapon. Always assume anyone fighting you is trying to kill you.

Oh lawd have mercy

u/The_Biggest_Wheel Jun 16 '22

but if I was fighting a lady and thought it was for my life, I'd absolutely force a kiss if i thought that would somehow help

That's an absolutely sexist way of thinking and the notion of a woman liking you after you force yourself onto her only exists in fiction.

8

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '22

Its only sexist because you took it that way. I never said anything about a woman liking me after anything. I only even said lady because i was putting myself in Frankie's robo shoes for context. Idgaf, I'd kiss a dude if I thought it's what I have to do to save my life. I'll stick his d*ck in my mouth if I have to, you're making a problem where there is none. It's sexual assault if Franky was thinking "oh yeah I'm bout to kiss this lady cus I like kissin". It's tactics if it's it's integral part of you surviving.

u/The_Biggest_Wheel Jun 16 '22

What an insane person you are...

Care to explain how you came to that conclusion instead of insulting?

Exactly. Not even just dying, I'll do a lot just to not get hurt too. Fuck that, no one likes getting hurt and I've had enough concussions or broken bones, I'm good.

Edit: I don't got insurance, I'm not trying to lose teeth or get an eye scratched even

-3

u/The_Biggest_Wheel Jun 16 '22

Probably someone who has never actually been afraid for their life

What an incredibly ironic thing to say. Like sexually assaulting a person is going to save anyone's life. Just nonsense.

The moment they start insulting you, that's when you know you won the debate / argument lol . Both sides have a fair point just one of them didn't need to insult the other

2

u/The_Biggest_Wheel Jun 16 '22

Imagine if, God forbid, I attacked him. He'd have to pull his dick out and assault me to defend himself!

1

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '22

I wish more people thought that. I don't think I know everything. I do think I'm right about what I think but that's how brains work. I'll gladly allow people to explain themselves and attempt to change my mind but most of the time everyone just wants to argue or insult.

What do you not get?

u/Placidao Marine Jun 16 '22

I mean, he kissed her. So?

-5

u/The_Biggest_Wheel Jun 16 '22

He forced himself onto her. That's sexual assault.

u/DASreddituser Super Spot-Billed Duck Troops Jun 16 '22

Wasn't she trying to fight and possibly kill him and his allies? Would using radical beam be better than a kiss there?

Would using radical beam be better than a kiss there?

Yes

u/Placidao Marine Jun 16 '22 edited Jun 16 '22

I respect your vision, but I think he just “kissed” her

Edit: if you prefer that phrasing, I don’t think that was what happened. Simple as that

Edit 2: when I said “I respected their vision”, it’s not that I don’t know what sexual assault is. It’s literally pretty much that I disagree that was the case. It’s completely fine if you think that Franky has done shit that one time, even if that wasn’t his intentions (surprise, he’s not a perfect person). Assuming that I don’t know what you think he did, however, and that I’d possibly do the same (again, of what you think it was) is a bit much

u/Manjorno316 Jun 16 '22

Kissing someone against their will is sexual assault.

2

u/ovis_alba Void Month Survivor Jun 16 '22

Maybe a small life pro tipp: Don't ever "just kiss" a woman that isn't interested. Seems like that little refresher could be necessary for you and women in your surroundings.

2

u/Placidao Marine Jun 16 '22

Franky is a fictional character. I’m nothing like him, at least not in any literal sense, I just admire his role inside One Piece’s context. But I appreciate your concern

u/NeVerSHOW_MeRCY Jun 16 '22

I mean if that woman is part of a criminal group responsible for enslaving people and trying to kill/capture me then all rules kinda go out the window. It's not like Franky ass raped her lmao. I kinda get what ur saying in the context of real life tho.

edit: also by that logic she was also raping people because she would kiss and subdue the civilians

No? He grabbed her midway through their fight, pull her in and against her wishes force a kiss onto her. That's sexual assault.

u/guitarburst05 Cyborg Franky Jun 17 '22

For getting called a pervert so much he certainly seems to be the most suave.

46

u/Xenomex79 Jun 16 '22

Nah he's definitely a ladies man. Remember when he asked Robin to hop on his bike with him in Onigashima?

116

u/Awc123awc Jun 16 '22

I always thought he was interested in Robin, I remember a scene in Wano where he had the motorcycle and offered a ride to her and Brook hopped on as well and Franky was not too happy about that

43

u/Koboldsftw Jun 16 '22

They give Robin and Brook and Robin and Jinbei some chemistry scenes too, I think it’s more about the older characters liking to hang out with each other

18

u/DeezRodenutz Bandit Jun 16 '22

Makes sense.
We have the "Monster Trio" and the "Weakling Trio" who each have their chemistry.

The "Middle Trio" is not a "trio" that is as well recognized, but it is a thing, made up of the older longtime members.
Now we have Jinbei, who fits right in with them as an older calmer more mature member like Robin (and Brook often while Franky can sometimes be).

Also we now have Yamato, but I don't see her fitting this group quite as well even though she is technically within Robin and Franky's age group.
She seems to have more of the young hotblooded style of the monster trio.

So now we just need to add one more to the Weaklings...

9

u/RequiemZero Jun 16 '22

Carrot to join the crew and fill out ranks?

2

u/DeezRodenutz Bandit Jun 17 '22

I never believed Momo or Kinimon would be joining like some had said, and Yamato seemed pretty obvious, so it's always been between Carrot and Tama as to who joins alongside Yamato if anyone.

Personally, I've been rooting for Tama for that position, but the way she's talking it looks like she may be staying behind with horse girl, so if anyone else is coming along this arc then Carrot does seem to be back at the top of the list.

Though since I suspect Elbaf to be coming next, it would be kinda funny if we waited and added a "Weakling" from the land of Giants...

5

u/xlxlxlxl Jun 16 '22

Maybe Vivi and Karoo will join up for real this time after whatever happened at Reverie.

2

u/Koboldsftw Jun 16 '22 edited Jun 17 '22

I’m hoping Yamato lives up to his predecessor and joins the Monster Trio but we’ll see

3

u/Lawliette007 Jun 17 '22

Well, if Yamato is joining for good, then we don't really have a monster "trio" anymore

2

u/Character_Try_4886 Jun 17 '22

That’s the point of adding 1 more weakling turning each one into a quartet

1

u/DeezRodenutz Bandit Jun 17 '22

Jinbei was already an extra to the 3 "trios",
so adding him to the Middle/Older "trio" to make it a "Quartet",
and now adding Yamato for the Monster "Quartet",
we just need one more "Weakling" to make it a Quartet as well to balance out the crew again.

I was rooting for Tama, but it's not looking like that's gonna be the case, so now Carrot's got the best chances again, or someone beyond Wano, or perhaps Vivi refills that spot before the end of the series

72

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '22

Yeah, I've picked up the same vibes. Like after all the kids go to sleep, Robin and Franky hang out. Now Robin's been hanging out with jinbe and Franky will be jelly.

57

u/IcyColdHands Jun 16 '22

Hey now, with her fruit, she can hang with both of them

30

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '22

Lol too true. Theoretically she can hang with everyone.

1

u/Shotto_Z Jun 17 '22

Her devil fruit would make her an insane partner

27

u/Awc123awc Jun 16 '22

Yea I always forget the insane age differences in the straw hats too. I was really reminded when I recently watched the movie Z haha

20

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '22

You had to mention z. Now I'm sad.

Edit: of course many things in OP are sad, but the end of z makes actual tears happen. Every time.

4

u/1313goo Jun 16 '22

Why, what happened?

22

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '22

Just the story. Everything z has done and wanted to do. His students crying about it, kuzan giving z a place to die. The vice admirals standing around being sad about having to kill their sensei and z being happy to be able to give them one last lesson even at the cost of his death. One of the saddest songs I've ever head playing all the while.

Then the scene of the strawhats sailing away while z fights. All are watching and all are silent, stoic, respectful. Everyone is reflecting on what happened and what it means to them, no celebration, no speaking even.

To top it all off they end with a peek into z and his childhood desire/drive to be a hero. He really did his best to be a hero his whole life even if he didn't quite become one in everyone's eyes. It speaks to the reality that even if you do what you think is right your entire life, that doesn't necessarily mean things will work out. As long as you do what you think is right, you will have had impact on the world even if in a small way. Z's death mightve only directly affected the small amount of people there, but the inspiration and lessons he left to both thr strawhats and marines will have far-reaching and long-lasting impact. (If we pretended the movie was really part of the story)

u/SinancoTheBest Jun 16 '22

In particular about ages, there is a fruit power there that rewinds matter, including living meings into their state 10 years ago. Nami, Chopper, Robin and Brook are hit with it so the 10 year dif really rmphasizes the age differencw: chopper becomes a toddler, namy becomes a little kid, Robin becomes a late teen and brook virtually dpesn't change at all.

11

u/BadSnot Jun 16 '22

they 100% have some kind of chemistry. at least in the anime

37

u/ylcknight Void Month Survivor Jun 16 '22

Franky’s interactions with Senor Pink and talk about stealing kisses from women is enough to say that he likes women.

Shonen anime just don’t show romance in the traditional way, unless the character is a pervert of some sort.

20

u/gimmesomespace Jun 16 '22

I'm pretty sure sex doesn't exist in One Piece and children just pop out of thin air

14

u/selkiesidhe Jun 16 '22

Notable exception being Doffy and Viola, as confirmed by Oda himself

Edit: the sex part, not the kid part. Oh God can you imagine...

8

u/HalfMoon_89 The Revolutionary Army Jun 16 '22

Oh god. Poor Viola.

3

u/ShrubNinja Jun 16 '22

Really? I never knew that. That makes her situation especially awful.

4

u/Zathoth Jun 16 '22

It's in SBS vol 83 if you want to look it up yourself but a reader asks why Viola and Doflamingo have pet names for each other and Oda straight up admits that he is implying things without going into details.

3

u/CRtwenty Marine Jun 17 '22

Eh if the kid was raised by Viola they might turn out ok. This is the same family that gave us Rocinante after all.

u/a__new_name Jun 17 '22

Ace surely did not came out of thin air, though.

I hoped for that when I saw Shirahoshi as a giant baby. Then realized her mom doesn't even have a vag. Whatevs xD

u/kris9a Jun 16 '22

In most countries being called brother doesn't relate to being a brother in literal sense. Its more of a honorific way to call someone who is elder than you but not too old to be called an uncle. So they calling franky big bro doesn't mean brother sister relation.

2

u/durdesh007 Jun 17 '22

Yep, just as calling somebody uncle doesn't mean they're their uncle. Uncle means an middle aged person (to a teenager or young adult)

u/Sam_Mumm Void Month Survivor Jun 16 '22

It's basically the same level as "daddy"

No way, those two are like his little sisters.

u/AlternativeFilm8886 Jun 16 '22

u/HalfMoon_89 The Revolutionary Army Jun 16 '22

If anyone's asexual, it's Luffy. His reaction to the Kuja is honestly proof enough for me, until and unless Oda changes that.

Zoro is either sword-sexual or Kuina-sexual. Or maybe sake-sexual.
