Funimation is doing some promotion of their own with One Piece as they bring out new episodes mostly every week just like in Japan. The series has been chugging along for quite a few years and is showing no signs of slowing down and Funimation is showing off various characters from time to time with their One Piece 101 series. The latest entry into it is a look at Franky, the 8th member of the crew. The four-minute piece shows some of his origin and defining moments and his joining point with the Straw Hats.
“He’s the superstar cyborg that towers over most the group with his personality and stature. After a literal run-in with a train, he rebuilt his own body to be fitted with iron and weapons to defend the people he cares about. With his great knowledge about crafting, he helps the team get to their goal!”
Crunchyroll streams the series in the USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and Latin America. FUNimation streams it to the USA and Canada.
