Sorry if I accidentally gave the impression of Franky being weak. Seriously he is not (weak) but the situation there has odds overwhelmingly against him, and his choices are limited. He can't run in, that would interfere with the operation. He could not run away not when his nakama and new friends are still running the operation. So he just had to hold his ground there, without advancing or retreating. And also his two parties of adversaries, I am just thinking it is just too much for him, not that I think he is weak or the likes. Someone mention above he may likely be heavily injured, I agree.
