Sister Anko

The Sister Anko is a dessert ship which is part of an expansion to Baratie. It is managed by Patty.

Appearance
The submarine is built to look like an angler fish. It has a large main door that says "DESSERT" on it, with a small platform for people to stand on when above the water to allow entry and two window hatches for "eyes". The craft has a domed roof with large metal bumps on it and a periscope in the center. Like an angler fish, it has a light hanging just above the two hatches.

The main dining area is in the middle of the submarine, and is a circular room with glass walls. The main support beam is in the center of the room. Below the submarine is a giant paddle wheel that allows the submarine to move, and there is a giant fin in the back that acts as a rudder.

History
During the timeskip, the Sister Anko was made as an extension of the Baratie. It was made to be a dessert ship and is run by Patty.

Translation and Dub Issues
The ship's name and design serve as a pun on Japanese's near-homonymous terms for anglerfish (鮟鱇) and red bean-paste (餡子), the latter being a stereotypical ingredient in most traditional Japanese desserts. The Sister component may also be a reference to Anko (あんこ) being an extant name for girls.

In the Viz manga, the ship is dubbed Sister Monkfish.

Trivia

 * Oddly, the ship's first (and only) appearance in Chapter 626 shows its door labeled "DESSRT", despite the word being spelled correctly on Patty's apron.
