Spandine

That was the beginning of their training to become even stronger.

Meanwhile, Spandam somehow became the head of CP0 through the influence of his father, Spandine.

Then Lucci and his friends teamed up with Spandine to uncover a criminal conspiracy by underworld bigwigs and former Level 6 prisoners, and destroyed the organization to stop it.

Due to that incident, Lucci and his friends returned to the el- intelligence service as CP0 agents.

Spandine later fell sick..." uh, "Spandine later fell sick, lost much of in- in- lost much of his influence, causing Spandam to be demoted to Lucci's underling." [laughs]

[blows raspberry]

I'll take that.

However, in a stroke of real genius, Franky was able to rebuild himself into the cyborg that we know and love today.

Speaking of Spandam, though, he started in the family espionage business early following in the footsteps of his father, Spandine.

He and the rest of the CP9 members from the Enies Lobby arc are also pictured here as kids.

Confusingly, Spandam's pictured here with a young elephant, which is strange because Funkfreed was a sword that ate an elephant fruit.
