As the crew did their usual thing, Zoro noticed someone on the sea.
"Oi. There's someone in the sea!" Zoro shouted.
"Eh?" Chopper, Luffy, Franky, Brook and Usopp unanimously said.
"There, standing on a raft." Zoro pointed out.
As they look out n the sea, they saw a girl with a long light brown hear wearing a white dress with rope-like belt on her stomach part dress. She just smiled at the crew who were looking at her.
"Oi, are we just gonna stare at her?! Let's go and save her." Usopp suggested.
"Ahh, right!" Luffy answered.
As they rescue the girl, she looked like someone they knew.
"Are you okay?" Chopper said.
"Yes." She answered.
"Wow! Your skin is really white." Franky said.
"Hahaha, Thanks for the compliment." She replied.
Nami and Robin are having a snack while Sanji is serving them on the deck.
"Oi. Nami, Robin, Sanji! Come over here." Luffy shouted.
"Nani?" Nami asked as they walked towards Luffy's group.
"Oh~ what beautiful lady." Sanji said while running towards her.
"Ara, Kawai nee." Robin smile at her.
"Arigaotu Gozaimasu." She said.
"Yohohohoho. Can you please let me see your panties?" Brook asked her.
"LIKE HELL SHE WOULD?!" Nami shouted after he kicked Brook away.
"Nami-san, you're too harsh! Yohohoho." Brook said.
"Sou da! Let's have lunch first! I want…." Sanji stooped. "What's your name, Milady?" Sanji asked.
"Merry." She said with a smile.
The crew got all surprised by what she said, but they thought it's quite impossible. Merry is a ship and this girl's a human. But they had some similarities, like the voice and the hair color.
"Merry-chan ka? What a beautiful name for a beautiful young lady. I want Merry-chan to taste my cooking." Sanji said happily.
As they had a great time, they partied until night fall. Merry and Robin are on the deck's balcony, while the others were partying just in front below.
"Are you having fun?" Robin asked with a smile.
'Hai!" Merry replied with the same face. "It seems like nothing changed." She added.
"Eh?" Robin asked.
"Sashiburii Robin-san. It's me, Going Merry Go." She said.
Robin's eyes slowly widened by what she had said, then robin took Merry where the crew was partying.
"Minna, Merry has something to say." She said.
"Luffy soreto minna, It's been a while." Merry said shyly.
The others got all confused 'cause they just met this morning.
"It's me. Going Merry Go. I know you don't recognize me in this form, but I'm happy to see you all being energetic as usual." She said while smiling.
"Eh?!" They all shouted in shock.
Nami and Chopper hugged her while the others just gathered around her. Luffy stood there just staring at Merry. She smiled at Luffy who was spacing out.
"Minna, I'll not be able to stay with you all for too long but, I'm truly grateful to see you all." Merry said with tears falling out of her eyes.
"Merry." Luffy said while walking towards her.
"Yes?" Merry asked.
"I missed you!" Luffy said then hugged her.
"Me too! And also everyone." Merry said while hugging Luffy back.
The others noticed Merry is slowly fading, and Luffy also noticed that. She looked at the crew for one last time and smiled at the very last minute.
"Minna matta, hontou ni arigatou."
The crew felt nostalgic and very happy with a mixture of sadness. But to see Merry again is much more important. The crew continued their adventure as they remember their first and beautiful ship… Going Merry Go.
