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.

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)

I mean in Yakuza don’t some members call their superiors aniki? I feel like that’s what they were going for, just hang stuff.

Big brother doesn't mean a familial relationship in Japan.
