Story

Synopsis

Episode of Merry retells the emotional Water 7 and Enies Lobby saga through the lens of the crew's first ship, the Going Merry. As the Straw Hats reach the shipbuilding city of Water 7, they are forced to confront a devastating truth: their beloved Merry is battered beyond repair. The arc spirals into betrayal, a bitter falling-out, a daring rescue of a captured crewmate, and a war against the World Government itself. Through it all runs the heartbreak of letting go of a ship that carried them like a true companion. This special reframes that sprawling story to honor one more friend: the Merry herself.

⚠ Background — may contain spoilers
Episode of Merry: The Tale of One More Nakama is a feature-length One Piece television special produced by Toei Animation and aired in 2013. It condenses the acclaimed Water 7 and Enies Lobby arcs, widely considered among the series' finest, into a single retelling centered on the Going Merry's role and its unforgettable farewell. Because it repackages existing canon events into a summarized special, it is an adaptation rather than new canon, though the underlying story is essential manga history. The choice to frame everything around the ship gives it real emotional focus, delivering one of One Piece's most famous tearjerker moments in a concentrated, standalone form.
