General & Others Franky and Queen

[Buusatan94]

How would you have used and written the fact that Queen is Franky's biological father?

What interactions and relation would you have given to the two? How would you have made the two meet each other in Wano? Would they fight? How would the two react to the reveal? What would they think of the other's inventions and dancing?

I find it so baffling that Oda revealed this in a SBS after Wano, yet the two had zero interaction during Wano arc, which is another of the many flaws and missed opportunities of this arc and with the Beast Pirates.

It could have been a relevant character arc for franky the way it happened with sanji on WCI where franky ignores his heritage and goes against his own father. Not sure how queen would feel about knowing he have a son.

That depends of which characterization you want for Queen, if he's totally evil or does have a little soft spot in all the twisted stuff, and if Franky is Queen's only child.

He already knows he has a son, not only he abandoned him but he tried to murder him by throwing him into the sea.

Then the relations would doubtlessly be antagonistic. It would also be nice to see their reactions to each other's inventions and armament, and how they use it respectively.

Franky not acknowledging Queen as his dad is okay (not great but can be excused as he was young when he was abandoned) but Queen not acknowledging it is criminal. Just another way this author is a fraud.

Tbh I don't see the point in their confrontation in Wano, like irl it happens all the time - there are shit parents our there who don't care about their children, and these children grow up and have no feelings whatsoever for them.

If Queen and Franky only interaction was supposed to be Wano, then it's for the best that they haven't even met.

Now, to make their interaction interesting, one needs for them to actually have some sort of relationship. Maybe Franky looking up to Queen as a fellow scientist and admiring him from afar then seeing how horrible Queen actually is and having some sort of confrontation about science and how to use it, and how it is not neutral by nature, but can be good or evil depending who uses it. Or we could have Queen be interested in his son (sometimes such things happen, people start to take interest in their kids when kids are already grown up), and could be looking for him with no success and then suddenly they meet and Queen recognizes Franky....and, say, feels nothing. And it may motivate him to be even more cruel towards SHP as a whole.

But Wano was such a horrible arc imo that nothing would save it, it needs total rewrite to make it better.
