Somehow, I doubt that if the GM continues to be the SH ship, it's going under heavy modification.
The New Ship
-
-
Underneath an island? as for Jaya, nah…don't think so..... because Montblanc Cricket would have found it......
Ah, but has Cricket looked in the bay? No, he's looking off the coast where the island was shot up in the air.
I think Poseidon is found through a cave that's probably in Jaya bay, or "The Left eye of the skull" as Norland would have described it.
-
sorry if someone mentioned it before but wouldn't be great if the new merry got two giant wind dials and ate a devil fruit? this way it can be really alive and can move like a waver too,battle frankies could also exit from a "door" of the ship and help the SH when they are surrounded by the marines
now that would be a ship for the future pirate king!
-
If it 'ate' a Devil Fruit, wouldn't it sink?

I dunno, that'll go back to the "was luffy OK standing in water or not" argument.

Much has been said of a 'living' boat.
I, for one, don't buy it.
So far in the story, only Zoan-type fruits have been used to grant life to inanimate objects. Since this life is extended to them through Full and Half Zoan forms only, it is logical to assume that they could not swim. Either (a.) They'd drown in sea water like any other living creature that eats a Devil Fruit, or (b.) they'd revert to non-Zoan form. In the case of Funkfried and Mr. 4's doggun-whose name escapes me-this would mean a sword or a gun sinking like a rock. In Merry's case, it would revert to a ship, which would be buoyant-until the cracked keel tears asunder and water rushes in. For your idea to work, Psolaras, they would need to attatch skis to the bottom of Merry. Then, it would be above the water and could cruise along like a hydrofoil.
-
This will be Merry's last journey…it's going to sink/shatter...for sure...
There is one thing that I am wondering about the new ship, assuming the will be getting one....will it have more cannons?
-
Agreeing with Meh; also, a DF-powered boat would just feel too powerful. It'll already be kickass with Franky and Usopp on board to pimp it up.
Knowing Oda, the new boat will probably have a rather unique design… he's fairly good at making the ships look different from one another, although I can see them keeping the Merry's head.
I think it'll have cannons. Usopp needs SOMETHING to do when he's bored. And a big statue.
-

It has already be debated. Sea water would erase the DF power, but the boat will still be lumber, so the boat wouldn't sink.

we still don't know that yet….. since if it has a devil fruit ability....wouldn't it lose it's powers/abilities and posibly it's strength...in this case wood's ability to float.... just a thought...
-
sea water erase devil fruit ability??????
nah… look at what aokiji did to the sea monster
-
Seawater doesn't TAKE AWAY THE ABILITY. Unless everyone forgets the Arlong arc completely, Luffy's neck stretched while he was underwater. What it DOES do is make them unable to use their power proactively. The power still exists, but they can't use it as they normally would. Luffy's neck stretched because Nojiko pulled it to the surface. Luffy didn't thrust his head to the surface by himself.
And Jlo, we never said that the power couldn't be used ON seawater. Kuzan froze the water at Longringlongland and freezes it under his bike when he travels, Luffy stretched through the cloudwater in Skypeia to catch Usopp, and so on and so forth.
Basically, the power can't be proactively used, but it still exists. Also, their physical strength goes away while they are underwater (AKA ability to move)
-
-
Even though the boats DF ability would be dormant and couldnt move on its own, it would definetly float… but is it a must to ad it on the boat as whole, if the sea-water effected the boat too much when DF'ed why not just attach it on the helm or something :D would be a great laugh if the helm moved on its own... hito hito no mi could be fun on it >.<
-
Maybe Franky spent the berries on some Incredible Floaty Wood!

lol….. that would be a waste of berries....

In my opinion, I think the new ship is going to be very huge. There's gonna be
a conference room
a library for Robin and Chopper
an operation or surgery room for Chopper
a gym or fitness center for Zoro
a lab or mechanic room for Ussopp and Franky
a drawing room for Nami
a garden for Nami
a large kitchen for Sanji
a big dinning room
a play/music room for Luffy
a huge storage to keep all treasures -
I don't think the new ship will be any much Bigger than Going Merry, I would figure that the new ship is just slighly bigger than the Going Merry, because Luffy doesn't really suit a bigger ship….....
-
I have some doubts in a new ship after the end of chapter 428, but still, if it's a new ship I say it'll be somehow kinda 2 times or less the GM size. It'll have:
An advanced kitcken&dinning room,
Some small rooms [normal size home room, for the such as Nami's drawing],
A big -comfortable- sleeping room,
And of course, an expended deck for most activities.Also I think that Usopp's [if he joins back] "workshop" will remain the same, I really loved it that way. And yeah, I'm saying what I will love at the new ship, everything else suck [don't kill me, only I think that way].
-
I don´t know if there´s gonna be a new ship, since GM is back.
It was severely damaged, but still.
But if Franky (or someone else) is going to join, the ships´s getting a bit too small, I guess. -
Franky prolly used the 200 million on a humongus ass cannon to a boat :p or something else cool… man i want to know what he used the 200 million for...
One thing bothers me is that didnt bellamy cut GM in half with the keel before they went to skypia? And if he did, didnt the monkeys reinforce the keel too with metal only and it flew?
-
why does Franky need to buff up a ship with a 200mil cannon? when several cheaper ones will do the trick!
-
well i imagined the new ship like link's in the legend of zelda:the wind waker, it sounds cchildish but i would like a gomu gomu no ship! or something cooler!
but i like the idea of the huge wind dials better,the new ship would be like a speed boat! brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
-
While reading the first pages of this very thread brought up some funny memories and I don't directly even disagree with what I said…
My ideal ship, the ship that's basicly an icon of the series and the ship I hope they will be using after this arc and always: Going Merry.
-
Well, whatever the new ship looks like will have to look cool with a orchard of tangerine trees on it.
-
Here's my reply. I'm not sure if anyone mentioned it but the new ship will be a skeleton that wraps around merry. Since they can't fix the hull, they'll build a totally new frame that wraps around merry entirely. Thus they'll still have merry and a new hull. We can call it Mecha-merry.
-
Oda can do whatever he wants, ship-wise. I just want him to call it Battle Merry :B ive grown attatched to that name
-

that would be like franky himself. nice idea i didn't think of that
-
I want the Merry incorporated as a "runabout" like how the Mackarel Head I could be removed from Baratie. It lets them have a huge ship without having to figure out how to get it in tight places.

The new ship will be made of seastone, have 99999999999999 cannons on it, be as big as Loose Mountain, be powered by radioactive monkeys, and instead of a flag, there is a gigantic plasma screen tv that continually shows Luffy's flag. And occasional glimpses of the english dub.
Oh, and Paulie will be crucified and nailed to the front of the ship, along with Spandam and the Five Elder Stars.

-
Man, it'll be so badass if it turns out Franky actually wasted all the money at the Disneyland or something. Anyways those square-shaped-hair girls should know.
About the GM with a new cover: I thought about it at the beggining too, but then I understood they won't be able to fix broken lower parts without getting the ship out of water..
-

If you like that you are clearly deranged and need to be put down as soon as possible.
-

if i had one cent for every time someone said that to me i could afford to pay scientists to develop those radioactive monkeys to power the new ship.
-
if i had one cent for every time someone said that to me i'd be rich by now.
But you'd be penniless in my country-I'm british, through and through.
-

XD anyways i think that the new ship would be the ship Franky used to save himself but with prue cannons and some part of the merry go and lots of secret surprises. I would think it works from a control room so it isn't hard to sail and maybe a room full of cola with 10- 30 rooms full of stuff to suit the straw hats
-
What if the going merry didn't eat a devils fruit, but was eaten BY a devil's fruit?
Think about THAT, smart guys.
-
What if the going merry didn't eat a devils fruit, but was eaten BY a devil's fruit?
Think about THAT, smart guys.
Then there would be no Merry. Think about that.
However, the 'Merry consumed a DF' theory is interesting- it might be the Deus Ex Machina Deus Ex Machina no Mi. -
i wouldn't think that the merry go eating a devil's fruit would be tha good
-
Oh yeah, come to think of it, the new ship might be appearing in the next few chapters. What'll think will happen?
You know, when the new ship does primiere, they'll have to be some cool demonstration on what it can do (if the Pluton theory is right). Think some pwnable force of marines is coming to Water 7 or whereever this ship is?
-
I don't think any marines will be near water 7 for a while but if the ship is out in open sea then anything could happen.
-
What would you want to see being fitted on the new ship, if the Going Merry is not usable anymore after saving the mugiwaras?
-
It should totally be pluton. They need a ship that can stand up to war against the world government. Also, that would be so cool.
I don't know why people want the going merry back. Its lasting this long has been hard for me to understand considering how luffy treats the ship. How many times has he ripped the mast off of the merry?
They need a respectable ship.
-
A 'respectable' ship doesn't fit the Mugiwara style.
Can you imagine Luffy sitting on the figurehead of one of Krieg's galleons?
-
i really do think that the ship that saved franky all those years ago will be the straw hats new ship. I think franky has been making that ship up to be the best and was saving it up to give to a group of people he knew would care for it (like the strawhats cared for gm) thats why i think thats the ship the strawhats will get
-
Actually, Luffy only ripped the mast off once as far as I can recall. The 2nd time it fell off it was Shura's doing. But Shura got his desserts when he was killed by Wiper.
I think the new ship will have rooms for each Strawhat, a Library, a full kitchen, a weight/training room, a med lab, and a workshop. And then of course bathrooms, a gunpowder room, a meeting room, and that's about it. Nothing much bigger is needed.
My guess on the name? Iceburg's Revenge or Franky Floater.
-

Well by respectable I meant more a ship that wasn't a piece of junk.
The fact remains that his goal is to become pirate king and gold roger had a super ship made for himself. I think he needs a ship to match his goals. Remember what they said about the ship when galley la inspected it. Ships do not get stronger and thus going merry kept being a worse ship for them to have. Also, pluton doesn't need to be a stern warship. It just needs to be crazy powerful. The appearance can be anything oda wants. But just for them to have pluton in name after the world government blew up its own island trying to get it would be the correct level of irony in my mind.

Your ideas on what will be in the boat sound right, but the names I'm thinking aren't quite what I would go with. Franky Floater just sounds too… disgusting. Also, Meri didn't originally build the Going Merry, he just designed it. (To my recolection) So the new ship could possibly be named after Iceberg or Franky, but those names don't quite sound Straw-hat like.
-
The name of the new ship is totally up in the air, as Luffy can think of the most random, inane shit possible.
Luffy: "The new ship'll be called…"
Everybody: -Waits In Anticipation-
Luffy: "...CORNDOG! :DDDD"
Everybody: "WHAAAAT?!" -
Wouldn't the makers make the name not luffy
