Edward Franken (エドワード・フランケン Edowādo Furanken?), more commonly referred to as Ed (エド Edo?), is a pirate and one of the members of the pirate crew, Wild Pirates. He is a rather unique pirate, in the sense that he was once a zombie of the Thriller Bark. He was later taken by Dr. Lose, who modified his body, in order for him to be the first cyborg zombie. Edward's ultimate life goal is to one day gain the courage to pursue a life without fears, as well as finding a meaning to his second chance of living.
