When can you recruit Franky in One Piece Odyssey

Learn exactly when and how to recruit Franky in One Piece Odyssey. Discover his role, skills, and unique Field Skill for navigating the game's world.

Hey there! So you're wondering when you can get the awesome cyborg Franky to join your crew in One Piece Odyssey? Don't worry, it's pretty straightforward and happens automatically as you progress through the story. You'll officially bring him into your party during the Water 7 arc, right at the start of Chapter 5. He just joins up without you needing to do any special side quests or anything!

Once Franky is with you, you'll discover he has a super useful Field Skill: he can fix destroyed bridges! This is a big deal because these bridges often lead to hidden treasure chests and areas you couldn't reach before. Just keep in mind that fixing them will use up some resources like bolts and junk, so make sure you've got a good stock of materials.

In terms of combat, Franky is a Speed-Type character and really shines with his fire-based attacks, like the 'Franky Fireball'. He can also boost his attack power with 'Cola Charge'. While other characters might handle standard attacks better, Franky is your go-to guy if an enemy has a weakness to fire. Seriously, if you see a fiery weakness, Franky's your man!

For those curious about his backstory, Franky was actually born 'Cutty Flam'. He changed his name to Franky after an incident in Water 7 where his body was severely injured, leading him to become a cyborg. He became the leader of the Franky Family and initially clashed with the Straw Hats. However, events in the Water 7 arc brought them together, and he eventually joined the crew, even building their iconic ship, the Thousand Sunny!
