• Design: In its flying form, the Thousand Sunny sprouts giant penguin wings from its sides, resembling an emperor penguin. It retains its signature lion figurehead at the bow and the flag with the Straw Hat Pirates Jolly Roger symbol.

While it isn’t a canon part of One Piece, the Thousand Sunny (Flying Model) offers a fun alternate look for fans of the series and the Thousand Sunny ship.

The Thousand Sunny refers to the pirate ship in the popular manga and anime series “One Piece”. It’s the second ship of the Straw Hat Pirates, the main protagonist crew.

Here’s a breakdown of the Thousand Sunny:

• Function: It’s a brigantine-style ship, meaning it has two masts and sails. The Thousand Sunny serves as the Straw Hats’ main mode of transportation and their home base as they travel the seas.

• Design: The ship is a unique creation by Franky, the crew’s shipwright. It’s massive and dwarfs their previous ship, the Going Merry. The Thousand Sunny is made from Adam Wood, an incredibly strong material also used in the legendary ship of Gol D. Roger, the former Pirate King.

• Features: The ship boasts a lion figurehead that can open its mouth to fire a compressed air cannon. The lion’s mane even functions as a propeller to drive the ship backward. Inside, the Thousand Sunny has special rooms and features beyond a regular ship, reflecting the crew’s personalities and needs.

If you’re a fan of “One Piece”, the Thousand Sunny is a beloved and instantly recognizable symbol of the Straw Hat Pirates’ adventures. There’s even merchandise available online of Thousand Sunny models and figures for collectors.
