Battle Frankies

The Battle Franky's are a line of special battleships built by Cutty Flam (now known as Franky), respectively named "Battle Franky" with a call number of one through thirty five. While no bigger than lifeboats, each one is heavily armed with cannons and other weaponry. Some of the ships even have armor, turrets, and various mechanical devices. This makes these small crafts as dangerous as an actual battleship.

Franky originally built the craft to hunt Sea Kings. After several failed attempts, he succeeded in defeating one with BF 35. However, shortly after Spandam stole the fleet and used it to destroy the Judiciary ship, framing Tom, Iceburg, and Franky of the crime, and in the process destroying the majority of the ships.

There were five ships attacking the judiciary ship, but Tom, Iceburg and Franky were only 3 people. However, they were shown to be the sole perpetrators.

BF 8
Introduced in Franky's flashback, it was shown after an attempt to battle a Sea King. Franky was fleeing in this ship to Water 7, closely pursued by the enraged Sea King. It was wrecked when it crashed into Scrap Island, partly due to a massive wave the pursing creature caused. The vessel had a three gun Barbett mounted on the stern, a few small guns, and one mast and sail.

BF 9
This is a manga-only ship. In Franky's flashback, he was seen building this ship while Tom and Iceburg worked on the Sea Train. Its main feature was a metal sphere with guns poking out. Because its only number 9, it didn't defeat a Sea King.

BF 19
This is a manga-only ship. It was shown during the attack on the Judiciary ship. It was later destroyed by cannon fire. Its main feature was a deck gun covered by a metal dome.

BF 30
This is a manga-only ship. It was shown in the attack on the Judiciary ship. It was later destroyed by cannon fire. It had a rectangular box structure with several cannon on its deck and two cannon in its bow. Due to its high number it was among the most powerful of the Battle Franky's.

BF 35
This was the final model of the Battle Franky's. It was considered to be the best of the ships, as it was the one that proved able to defeat a Sea King. It was shown in Franky's flashback after he interrupted the meeting between Tom and Spandam (then the chief of CP5). The Sea King he defeated was massive. Iceburg, angry with Franky's carelessness with weapons, tried to smash it but Franky argued with him. The vessel was later stolen by Spandam and used to attack the Judiciary Ship and frame Tom's Workers for the crime. It was destroyed by cannon fire after Spandam's men abandoned ship. Its main feature was a large deck cannon augmented by several small guns. It was the most powerful of all the ships Franky made (next to the Thousand Sunny).

BF 36
After being hit by the Sea Train Puffing Tom, Franky's body suffered severe damage. When he drifted to an abandoned ship, he used the scrap metal to rebuild himself into a cyborg with a different bodily structure and added weapons, and labeling himself as "BF 36", even though not being a battleship himself.
