A life-size statue of Franky stands in front of Takamori Station, the terminus of the Minami Aso Railway. The statue captures Franky's signature "Super!" pose, bringing energy to this charming rural station. Takamori Station itself is a beloved local landmark with a cozy atmosphere.
📺 Scene from the Anime
Franky was placed at Takamori Station because he is the Straw Hats' shipwright and engineer. Oda chose this railway terminus to honor the Minami Aso Railway, which was heavily damaged in the 2016 earthquakes. Franky's building and repair skills symbolize the rebuilding of the railway infrastructure.
