The story arcs aboard the Straw Hat Crew's first ship Going Merry (Merry Go in some adaptations) are recreated with brand-new animation, from Luffy and Usopp's fight and Robin's disappearance to the crew's final farewell to the ship. Going Merry is treated as another member of the Straw Hats as Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and the rest of the crew set sail for the legendary treasure, the One Piece.

Where it came from
Released in 2013 as part of the long-running One Piece television special series, Episode of Merry: The Tale of One More Friend serves as a reflective narrative retelling of the Straw Hat Pirates' time with their first major ship, the Going Merry. Produced by Toei Animation, the special was created to revisit the emotional climax of the Water 7 and Enies Lobby arcs, specifically focusing on the ship's eventual demise and the crew's farewell. It was intended to offer fans a consolidated, remastered look at the bond between the crew and their vessel, acting as a tribute to one of the series' most poignant storylines.
The animation and direction for this project were handled by the team at Toei, who utilized updated production techniques to reanimate key sequences from the original series' run. The design approach centered on a more polished aesthetic compared to the original broadcast episodes, aiming to elevate the impact of the final goodbye. It was well received by the fanbase for its ability to distill a lengthy narrative arc into a cohesive emotional experience, reinforcing the Going Merry’s status as a fundamental member of the crew rather than merely a mode of transportation.
