Behind the bounty
394 million, and an opponent who deserves more than a line: Sasaki, one of the Tobiroppo, posted at 472 million, carrying an Ancient Zoan of the triceratops model and heading Kaido's Armored Division.
Franky did not face him in his own body. He faced him from inside the General Franky, the mech formed by docking the Kurosai FR-U IV with the Brachio Tank V — two machines built during the crew's two years apart, and first taken into combat on Fish-Man Island. At Onigashima Sasaki eventually wrecked the machine; Franky had already ejected, and finished him on foot with a Franky Radical Beam into the triceratops' belly, its weak point.
The World Government has never known what to do with that. A cyborg gets priced as a fighter, and that is where he has been put from the start — somewhere between Brook and Usopp, in the crew's back half.
The calculation misses the point entirely. Franky rebuilt himself after being crushed by a sea train, with scavenged parts, on his own workbench. His body is his first prototype; the General Franky is the production model. He is the only member of the crew whose primary weapon is a machine he drew and built himself, and the only one who climbs inside it to use it.
For scale: 394 million places him seventh in the crew. He is the only man in that bracket whose absence would physically immobilise the ship.
