A Tribute To Going Merry
One Piece is an anime that talk about Monkey D Luffy a boy that become a pirate and his goal is to obtain the world greatest treasure ‘One Piece’ alongside with his crew. This anime are divided to certain saga and each saga are sub-divided to arcs, but in this article I only will talk about the Cipher Pol 9 (CP9) saga and concentrate on the Water Seven arc and Enies Lobby arc. In these arcs we will able to understand the secret behind the World Government, the burden that Nico Robin carried, the new member Franky, and also the departure of ‘Going Merry’.
This arc contains suspends that definitely pump up your adrenaline level. For example, the sudden disappearance of Robin followed by the accusation of Luffy for assaulting Iceberg. Before that, the news about ‘Going Merry’ unable to sail anymore due to the damages throughout their journey made us reader wondering what will Luffy and his ‘Nakama’ going to do. The most shocking event is that Usopp and Luffy that has been very close to each other end up fighting because of the ship and Usopp have quit the crew. Other than that, Luffy and the remaining crew have to fight against the ‘Aqua Laguna’ and chased against the train to Enies Lobby.
Once the Straw Hat Pirate crews have reached Enies Lobby (with Usopp disguise as Sogeking) along with the Galley-La Company and the Franky Family, their battle was extremely exciting. The battle between the weak Nami with Kalifa clearly show how Nami always uses her brain to win her battle (with the help of her new and improved ‘Climate Tact’). Chopper defeated Kumadori by changing himself into a monster is heartbreaking. The battle between Luffy and Blueno have introduced us Luffy’s new power, but the most important of all would be the battle between Luffy and Luccy, the decisive battle. Their battle is so intense that us reader can barely draw our breath.
Aside from those heart pumping scenes, there were a lot of heart breaking scene as well. For example, the scene when Luffy and the crew standing on the roof facing CP9 and Robin and her are past had definitely brought some tears. At the scene where she cried ‘I WANNA LIVE!!!! Take me with you out to sea!!!’ have made our cheek moist. Aside from Robin’s past, we also had been introduced to Franky’s past too.
After Luccy have defeated Luffy, the cried and the comment that Usopp said made us realized how strong is their bond. Due to this bond, Luffy able to stand up and defeated Luccy with his ‘Jet Gatling’. After the fight with Luffy held the victory, he yelled ‘LETS GO BACK TOGETHER, ROBIN!!!’, although it was just a few words but it touches our soul.
The best part of this arc is at the end where ‘Going Merry’ came and rescued them when they were surrounded by marine. All of them jump when they heard the voice of ‘Going Merry’ made us shivered with joy and touch. Other than that Luffy have to burn ‘Going Merry’ because it unable to sail anymore. While the fire spread towards the ship, Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp (Sogeking), Sanji, Chopper, even Robin having flashbacks of their life with ‘Going Merry’ brought them and us readers to tears. At the end when the fire had spread to the entire ship, they heard ‘Going Merry’ voice saying that he is sorry because he couldn’t sail anymore and he really want to sail with them’. Luffy quickly reply in tears saying that he’s suppose to say sorry for making him injured due to his carelessness. Then ‘Going Merry’ replies with a phrase that will always carve in our mind, he said ‘its okay, I am happy, thanks to all of you for appreciate me. I am very happy.
