Chapter 351 summary
Franky offers to dismantle the Going Merry inside the shipyard, but Usopp refuses and insists the ship belongs to him. Franky explains that the vessel is no longer a ship because its keel is broken and it cannot reach the next island. He throws Usopp into the water twice, forcing him to inspect the hull and see the irreparable damage. Usopp returns to the dock, hammers at the wood in tears, then admits he already knew the repairs were impossible. He recounts hearing hammering sounds and a gentle voice from the empty ship in Skypiea and believes the ship itself spoke to him. Franky identifies the figure as a Klabautermann, the incarnation of a well-loved ship, and Usopp realizes it was the Going Merry. Franky notes how Usopp fought his friends to protect the vessel despite knowing its limits. Kiwi and Mozz weep as Franky and Usopp suddenly sense intruders, and several silhouetted figures in black suits appear outside calling out to their brother.
