The One Piece Volume 113 SBS was released earlier than expected, dropping in late October 2024 instead of November — and it did not disappoint.

Eiichiro Oda’s iconic Q&A section once again delivers surprising truths, playful misdirection, and major lore expansions that fans are still unpacking.

From the shocking confirmation of Queen being Franky’s father to new insights about the Celestial Dragons’ lineage, Oda continues to blur the line between humor and revelation. Let’s break down everything revealed in this explosive SBS.

Queen Confirmed as Franky’s Father

For years, fans speculated that Queen of the Beasts Pirates might be Franky’s long-lost father.

In the latest SBS, Oda all but confirmed it when a fan directly asked about the connection.

He jokingly admitted that Queen’s Vivre Card mentions he had a child in the same year Tom adopted Franky.

The timeline fits perfectly — Queen abandoned his child the same year Franky was taken in by Tom. Oda’s “nervous” response was enough for the fandom to take it as confirmation: Queen is Franky’s father.
