One Piece Episode 18 | The Going Merry Sets Sail! Usopp Joins the Crew | Reaction

In One Piece Episode 18 – “You’re the Weird Creature! Gaimon and His Strange Friends” (East Blue Saga), the adventure takes a lighter but meaningful turn.

🔥 Episode 18 Summary:

After saying goodbye to Kaya, the crew finally gets their first real ship – the Going Merry! 🚤

Usopp officially joins the Straw Hats as the sniper, ready to chase his dream on the high seas. 🎯

On a new island, the crew meets Gaimon, a strange but heartfelt character stuck in a chest.

His story reminds the crew (and us) that dreams are worth holding onto, no matter how strange or delayed.

This episode is both comedic and emotional, showing how every journey is filled with unexpected encounters.
