"Oh, well, I left my loyal crew behind to guard the castle of a beautiful princess I had saved from a wicked adviser. Luffy helped me in that fight, so I agreed to join his crew. Going Merry is the name of the ship Luffy sails on--a few of the other crewmembers from Merry are here too, now." Usopp took out his notebook. "Going Merry is a really small ship, actually, she's only a caravel, and we only have seven crewmembers. Even with so few crewmembers, though, we're an unstoppably tough crew and we've already all got huge bounties! With our help, Luffy's going to become the next Pirate King!"

Explaining all of that, Usopp started to sketch as he talked, finally turning the notebook to show Bridget a drawing of the Going Merry, with its smiling sheep figurehead and the Strawhat Jolly Roger on the sails. He couldn't get all the details down exactly, but he thought it was a good representation. It was for the sake of speed that he left out the damages and repair marks, he told himself. "This is Merry."
