The Hidden Clues from Volume 56

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Gloriosa and Franky have been linked. In the SBS of One Piece Volume 56, a fan jokingly asked whether Gloriosa had “body modifications like Franky” because of her distinct chin. Oda laughed it off back then — but in hindsight, this gag may have been a subtle clue.

Both characters share similar facial features, particularly their pointed chins. Now that Queen’s connection to Franky is semi-confirmed, that decade-old joke feels far more intentional.

How Queen and Gloriosa Might Have Met

From a timeline perspective, the theory isn’t impossible. Gloriosa lived during the era of Rocks D. Xebec and was once the Pirate Empress herself. Meanwhile, Queen likely left MADS and joined Kaido sometime after the God Valley Incident — about 38 years ago.

Since Franky was born 36 years ago, this two-year gap could have been when Queen and Gloriosa crossed paths. Queen’s younger, more charismatic self and Gloriosa’s world-weary persona could have intersected at sea, creating one of the most unexpected unions in One Piece history.
