[edit] Ship Design and Appearance

The Mini Merry is a small boat with a steam engine and paddle wheels. Its figurehead design is based on the original Going Merry's sheep figurehead. Its main design purpose is for shopping and it can hold up to four people.

[edit] History

After finishing the Thousand Sunny and joining the Straw Hats, Franky decided to do something special for his crew mates. Knowing how special the Going Merry was to them, he made the Mini Merry II as a reminder of the original ship. By creating this, it would be like the original Going Merry was resurrected.

When the crew arrived at Thriller Bark, Franky decided to finally reveal this to the rest of the crew. The Mini Merry made the crew very happy with Franky, and they thanked him for making it. Nami, Usopp and Chopper rode on it for the first time to Thriller Bark. However, they got lost in the fog and Nami could not tell where they were going. The Mini Merry crashed into the island, throwing the three to the bottom of the moat. The boat then drifted and was caught in a giant spiderweb created by the Zombie General Talleran. There, it remained until the Straw Hats reclaimed it after the events on the island.

[edit] Anime and Manga Differences

Originally in the manga, the Mini Merry was first shown when Franky showed it to Nami, Usopp, and Chopper for them to ride on. In the anime however, it made a slightly earlier appearance. Except for a clear view of it's figurehead, the vessel was seen being made by Franky in his workshop after he was scolded by Nami for altering her waver without her permission.^[2]

The Mini Merry was further earlier hinted at during the Ice Hunter Arc of the anime, in an overhead diagram of the Soldier Dock System. In the diagram, it showed a small hint of it at where the vessel would be kept.^[3]
