Suuuper Franky, the most demoted-to-extras SH so far. He wasn't even that important in his own joining arc since Robin got more attention due to her background story being somewhat crueler than his. When he finally got time and chance for some spotlight Brook showed up, stealing the show. Now Nami is inside Franky's body and he is in Chopper's. So again, he can't have any screen/page time on his own.

Beams and gadgets are well and good but for someone as eccentric as Franky he's quite the background character.

On a side note: I hate his post-TS looks.
