Oro Jackson

The Oro Jackson was the ship built by Tom for Gol D. Roger and the Roger Pirates. It is the only ship that has sailed to the end of the Grand Line.

Ship Design and Appearance


The Oro Jackson was made from wood hewn from the treasure tree "Adam", the same wood is used during the creation of the Thousand Sunny, the ship that belongs to the Straw Hat Pirates. The figurehead of the ship appears to be a pair of mermaids alongside a forward facing cannon. The ship had three masts, with red sails and a jolly roger on the foremast. The sails also have a vertical stripe design.

History
The ship was built by Tom at Water 7, and was sailed from there.

It was seen during the Edd War, against Shiki and his fleet of ships. The ship's crew were able to defeat Shiki's fleet, and left apparently undamaged.

The Oro Jackson eventually reached Raftel in the New World, becoming the only ship to ever do so. The crew then disbanded, and it is unknown what became of the ship.

Legacy
While by normal standards, a shipwright who built a pirate ship will not be charged of any crimes as they have no control over the pilots of the ship, Tom was made a special case for building the Oro Jackson, as the client was Roger. Tom was ultimately sentenced to death, though he did proudly proclaim he built the ship, showing neither regret nor denial.

Franky, one of Tom's protégés, dreams of creating a ship that will surpass the Oro Jackson. Although his dream had been shattered when Tom was executed, it was revitalized upon meeting the Straw Hat Pirates and with the creation of the Thousand Sunny, also built from Adam tree wood. The Thousand Sunny has yet to achieve Franky's dream, though he serves as the shipwright.

Trivia



 * 'Oro' is "gold" in Spanish and Italian, a reference to 'Gold Roger', the name most people know Gol D. Roger as.
 * The center of the ship holds a polka-dotted object. While in the manga its shape is unclear, the anime and merchandise seem to depict it as an egg.
