After collecting the bounty, Luffy and Zoro found Buggy and the three of them returned to Syrup Village on a small boat.
Three days later, the Going Merry was officially completed!
It was a two-masted sailing ship, with the main sail hanging from the front mast and a triangular sail hanging from the rear mast. The ship was equipped with the Fourth Gate cannon, with one of them located at the bow as the main cannon!
At the bow of the ship was a finely carved sheep head!
Monkey D. Luffy: "It's the Merry...!"
At the moment he saw the completion of the Going Merry, Luffy's mind was filled with memories of that day under the setting sun
When he personally set fire to the Going Merry, it started drizzling
As the rain slid down the big eyes of the sheep head, it was hard to tell whether it was rain or tears from the Merry...
That day, the Straw Hat Pirates bid farewell to the Going Merry forever.
Although the previous video in the white frame also showed the moment, they first met the Going Merry.
But this segment in the red border is different!!!
Because this is the moment when the Going Merry was just completed!
Luffy envied the red-border Luffy over there very much...
He envied that he could witness the birth of the Going Merry!
Usopp: "Hey hey hey!!! They actually witnessed the birth of the Going Merry with their own eyes! Even I haven't seen it"
Nami: "Ah at such an important moment, I wasn't there...!!!"
Roronoa Zoro: "Haha!! It seems that only the me over there and the Luffy over there saw the Going Merry come into that world!"
Vinsmoke Sanji: "Stupid green seaweed head, why are you showing off!!"
Usopp: "Damn it! The me over there isn't there either!"
Monkey D. Luffy: "Huh? Usopp... wait! The Usopp over there hasn't had any interaction with the me over there until now, how did he get on the ship?"
Usopp: "Idiot! It's all because the you over there used Conqueror's Haki to knock me out!!! How can the me over there have any interaction with you! Damn it, does the me over there not become red border Luffy crewmate...?"
Usopp started to worry
Although the Nami over there was "thrown" by Luffy, she still had a chance to get on the ship because they should pass through Cocoyasi Village later.
But the him over there is different...
If the Luffy over there leaves Syrup Village, he will never have a chance to get on Luffy's ship again!
Zoro: "Don't worry, let's wait and see, there might be a turning point..."
Although Zoro said so, he was also uncertain in his heart.
According to the situation over there, the Luffy, Zoro, and Buggy over there should set sail after obtaining the ship
And Usopp...
Will be forever left in that remote village...
"Mr. Luffy, do you know? When I was still a child, I started designing the Going Merry."
"But building a ship requires a lot of money, and my family couldn't support my dream of building the Going Merry. Until a month ago, the master said he wanted to add a cargo ship, and I volunteered to take out the design of the Going Merry."
"During this month, I often felt unreal, because strictly speaking, the Going Merry is not a cargo ship, and such a ship cannot significantly increase the cargo capacity of the master's merchant fleet."
"But the master finally agreed to build it according to my drawings, which made me feel very unreal!"
"Until just now, I finally understood!!!"
"Because of your arrival, you have thwarted Kuro's sinister plot. The master and I no longer have to meet a tragic fate, and the Going Merry can be truly built."
"And you happen to need a ship to take you to the Grand Line!"
"Isn't this just like the master said? You and the Going Merry truly have a special fate!"
"Luffy, this ship now belongs to you completely. I hope you will take good care of her! Don't let her down"
As he said this, Merry's eyes became moist!!!
This ship, designed with his lifelong wish, has been entrusted to a young man full of justice. He is relieved
Luffy looked at the ship before him, and he genuinely loved it from the bottom of his heart!!!
That feeling is as if everything has already been predetermined!!!
This ship... it has his name, Luffy, engraved on it...
Better late than never!
Luffy took a deep breath and looked seriously at Merry's butler: "Uncle Merry, please rest assured! I promise that as long as I'm alive, I will never let the Going Merry be harmed!!——"
When this sentence appeared, all the members of the Straw Hat Pirates who were watching the movie were in tears
As long as he is alive, he will never let Merry suffer any harm in the future...
That red-border Luffy over there is so full of Haki!!!
While they can only bow to fate, they can only witness little Merry, after carrying them on their final journey, being buried in the sea...
Pain!!
The heart is truly in pain!!
Monkey D. Luffy: "The me over there... you must keep your promise and protect Merry...!!!"
Nami: "Red-border Luffy, do your best!!!"
Usopp: "The Merry over there, you must accompany everyone to complete the Grand Line!!!"
Roronoa Zoro: "Believe in us over there, we can definitely do it!"
The sea surface was like a piece of shining blue glass, crystal clear, shimmering with enchanting luster.
In the brilliance of the morning light, it seemed to drape a golden veil over this sea.
The Going Merry quietly docked at the shore
When Luffy shouted, "As long as I'm alive, I will never let the Going Merry be harmed!!——" the camera focused on the Going Merry's deck
In the shot, when Luffy's voice came, the Going Merry's hull subtly trembled. Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, it solidified into the form of a little girl holding a wooden hammer and wearing a light yellow raincoat
At first, she looked around in confusion, then climbed onto a large barrel and leaned over the railing, continuing to look around.
Suddenly, when her gaze fell on Luffy, she never looked away again
"Spirit of the ship!!!——"
When they saw this small figure, the chat room was filled with the astonished cries of the Straw Hat Pirates!!!
