Franken

The Franken is a sword used by Franky while piloting the General Franky.
==Appearance==
Befitting its usage with the giant robot General Franky, the Franken is a particularly large sword. Its hilt is red with a yellow diamond design, and it has no cross-guard.
==Abilities and Powers==
As Franky has little actual sword training, the Franken is not frequently used. However, it has been shown to be strong enough to withstand Sasaki's spinning Karakuri Rasento and, non-canonically, to cut down a Shiro Kuma in a single swipe.
===Techniques===
*: Franky has the General Franky crouch, and while holding the Franken at knee level, he causes the robot's torso to rapidly and continuously rotate. This causes a fan like-rotation of the blade aimed at the legs, which forces the foes to jump up to dodge it. While they are in the air, he shoots them with his own shoulder cannons. This was first used against some of the New Fish-Man Pirates. This is called General Watch-Your-Step in the VIZ manga and Funimation adaptations.
*: After lighting up Franken, General Franky holds the sword overhead in both hands and then slashes the opponent's chest with a quick, v-shaped swing. It was first used against Sasaki. This is called V-For-Victory Flash in the VIZ manga and Funimation adaptations.
==Trivia==
*Franken's name literally means "Fran-Sword".
