The
Going Merry (ゴーイング・メリー号 Gōingu Merī-gō, renamed "Merry Go" in the English manga and 4Kids dub) is the first ship of the Straw Hat Pirates that they used as their main mode of transportation through the East Blue all the way to Water 7 where it was replaced by the Thousand Sunny. It is a caravel class ship designed by Merry and given by Kaya
to the Straw Hats as a reward for saving her. Over time, the ship came
to be loved by the crew as a home and as a friend, so much so that it
literally took on a life of its own and became just as much a part of
the crew as any of them. Unfortunately, the Going Merry took an
inordinate amount of damage during its "lifetime", being blown up,
impaled, and even sliced up multiple times. Eventually, the Going Merry
could no longer continue and received a Viking funeral.
