Luffy and Franky have always been on adventures together in the manga series One Piece, yet they have hardly spoken to each other throughout the 24 volumes. This reflects a unique approach in the manga, often sidelining conversations between characters.
A significant shock occurred during the last moments of the group’s conversation using Den Den Mushi, leading to their plans in Dressrosa and Zou, paving the way for Luffy’s next encounter with Franky, which took place after a long six years! Their last conversation was in Chapter 977, long before the chaotic events began on Onigashima.
As we delve into the Land of Wano, the Straw Hat Pirates have faced numerous challenging and dangerous adventures, such as confronting Doflamingo and the infamous Blackbeard. With so much turmoil unfolding, the focus has shifted heavily toward action and ongoing dialogues, which has resulted in less interaction between the crew members.
Currently, One Piece has been ongoing for over 25 years, surpassing thousands of chapters. With such an extensive storyline, it’s common for character dynamics to shift during the execution of the plot.
