After gaining notoriety as "Cyborg" Franky (サイボーグ フランキー, Saibōgu Furankī), and to fulfill his dream of sailing a ship he built around the world, he constructs the Thousand Sunny, a brigantine-rigged sloop-of-war, for the Straw Hat Pirates and joins the crew.[ch.

Initially the group consists of Shanks, Whitebeard, Kaido, and Big Mom, forming a precarious balance of power with The Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Navy Headquarters that keeps the world at peace until Blackbeard's capture of Ace.

Imu seems to have eaten a yet-to-be-identified Mythical Zoan which they are able to assume the form of an enormous, beast-like, yet humanoid creature capable of consuming fire, as well as make it resemble a sharp-pointed, arrowhead-shaped appendage or a tentacle used for piercing, strong enough to mortally wound someone, which they use to try to kill King Cobra after suddenly interrupting his meeting with the Five Elders and finding out the Alabastan royal family were part of the D clan all along.

However, due to their connection to the World Government, they constantly abuse their power and despise the people below them (referring to them as "commoners") to the point of wearing enclosed helmets with supplied oxygen so as not to breathe the same air as them.[ch.

Following Caesar Clown's defeat at the hands of the Straw Hat Pirates, Smoker and Tashigi took the kids into their custody and arranged for them to be treated by Dr. Vegapunk at Marine Headquarters G-14 Branch which is somewhere near Egghead.

Some of his achievements when working for the Marines have included but are not limited to using seastones on the hulls of ships to keep the Sea Kings away, researching the Lineage Factor, creating artificial lifeforms, doing gigantification research, figuring out how to make an inanimate object "eat" a Devil Fruit, replicating Devil Fruit powers, doing cyborg modifications to people, working on warping technology, creating the DOM shoes like the one he wears which has different features, and a Den Den Mushi that can broadcast anything across the world.

[77] His colleague Carl Kimlinger describes the visual style of One Piece as "unconventional" with "grotesquely exaggerated expressions, simple eyes, big mouths and bigger teeth", "supremely ugly supporting characters and skinny, gangly-limbed main cast" and comments that "it's all amazingly distinctive, utterly appropriate, and surprisingly cool—in a goofy kind of way".

[79] Todd Douglass Jr. of DVD Talk notes "the daunting cast of characters, both good and bad" as "one of the appealing factors" of the anime, but also comments that "Some of the voices [of the 4Kids dub] were pretty irritating ... with a lot of high-pitches and over exaggerated speech.
