The Going Merry is the first ship of the Straw Hat Pirates in One Piece, and it’s far more than just a vessel—it’s one of the most emotional symbols in the series. 🏴‍☠️ What is the Going Merry? A small caravel-style ship gifted to the crew by Kaya, a wealthy girl from Syrup Village. Designed by Merry, her loyal butler. Recognizable by its sheep figurehead (sometimes mistaken for a ram).
