Legacy

On board the Thousand Sunny, Franky announced that the Thousand Sunny will carry on the spirit of Going Merry. This is shown more literally when Franky later introduced the Straw Hat Pirates to the soldier dock system and it was revealed that channel 2 houses the Mini Merry II, a four passenger steam boat almost identical to the original Merry, so much that Usopp declared that it was Merry's "reincarnation", the only actual differences are that it is smaller and has a steam engine with paddle wheels.
