'That's the spirit of Luffy.'
The Big Picture It doesn’t matter which gateway you take into the One Piece world: Manga, anime or Netflix live-action series. One thing you’re bound to notice across all media is that protagonist Monkey D. Luffy is a force to be reckoned with.
One way to do it was to reflect Luffy’s personality on the figurehead of his ship, the Going Merry. Bridgland revealed that he realized the ships’ figureheads of the manga translated the spirit of each captain, so it was the perfect opportunity to work on the ram’s head: “[T]his was actually the hardest and most important thing to get right in the whole show because that figurehead kind of encapsulated Luffy’s character. He's indomitable, you know, he's courageous. He also laughs a lot, and he laughs in the face of danger.
'One Piece' Fans Should Keep An Eye Out For Pirate Ships' "Personalities" Bridgland also singled out the duck figurehead of Alvida’s ship, and called it “fantastic” and “unique” because “it's got all the elegance and beauty that she really believes she has, and actually, in a way, she really does have because of the way she carries herself.
We already know how the Going Merry looks, though, so when the series premieres it will be just a matter of seeing the figurehead from every possible angle and realizing that, as Bridgland underscored, it does indeed reflect Luffy’s personality.
