Forum:What do you think is the saddest thing happened to One Piece so far?

START!

Although the death of Ace is very sad, for me the saddest part of One Piece is the death of one of the Straw Hats "nakama", the death and funeral of Going Merry. Merry is considered by the Straw Hats as one of their "nakama". Things that happened in Water 7 arc shows how Straw Hats crew really cared about Merry, and how Merry cared about them. Luffy and Usopp have a serious fight over her. Then it was revealed that Merry became "alive", she spoke to Iceburg and ask if him to fix her, she told him that he wants to sail for the last time. And when the Straw Hats finally saved Robin and Luffy defeated Lucci, they found themselves cornered by the marines with nowhere to run, and when all seemed to be hopeless, Merry appeared. He save the whole crew out of Enies Lobby. As soon as the Straw Hats approach the incoming ship from Galley-La, Merry suddenly broke apart. This only shows that Merry is pushing far past its own limits. At Merry's Funeral, snow appeared and then Merry speak with them, telling them how grateful she is to them and how she wish she could carry them a little further. With her last words and a tearful goodbye from its crew, Going Merry finally died, a valuable member was lost.
