Bentham
Francois was quite kind and welcoming to Bentham, treating him as a comrade very soon after meeting him. He was distraught when Bentham sacrificed himself and bawled profusely as he and the rest of the escaped Impel Down convicts passed through the Gates of Justice. He continued to cry on their way to Marineford, referring to Bentham as "Bon-chan."

Past
At some point, François was captured and imprisoned in Impel Down as a criminal. He escaped to Level 5.5 and became a Newkama.

Impel Down Arc
When Bentham awoke in Level 5.5 after rescuing Luffy, François and other Newkama greeted him. François offered him a drink. François later watched as Ivankov used his Death Wink on Bellett.

The group organized and mobilized on Level 4, battling through the guards and declaring that they were on their way to Marineford. Francois led the charge, slashing at the guards. They all escaped Impel Down, and Francois cheered for their freedom. When the group realized that Bentham had stayed behind to let them escape, they all cried for him and thanked him. He continued crying as they sailed to Marineford.

Marineford Arc
After the group fell from the top of a chunk of ice to Marineford below, Francois raised his sword, ready for battle. They all fought in the battle alongside the Whitebeard Pirates.

Post-War Arc
After the war ended, Francois was seen alongside his fellow newkama, excited to travel to Kamabakka Kingdom. Invakov and his newkama followers parted ways with Luffy and the others, sailing on a stolen Marine battleship to Ivankov's homeland.
