One Piece: Red Is Going to Transform Thousand Sunny Into an Actual Character

By Megan Peters

One Piece has done a lot of wild things over the years, and fans know it. It is hard to surprise diehard followers of the anime thanks to all those twists, but leave it to the new One Piece movie to fix that. After all, the film just revealed its plans to give the Straw Hat ship a makeover, and no one ever saw this Thousand Sunny form coming.

The whole thing came to light on social media when One Piece: Red hit up fans with an official post. It was there a new character design sheet was shared, but no one saw its character coming. After all, One Piece: Red is gifting the Thousand Sunny a new form, and it will turn the massive pirate ship into a chibi humanoid.

As you can see above, the character sheet shows a very different take on Thousand Sunny than we have ever seen. The huge ship has been shrunk down into a person of sorts, and its lion mast serves as the character's inspiration. After all, the figure does look like a little lion, and the rest of his features come straight from the ship as well.

According to this design sheet, One Piece: Red will refer to this new form as Sunny, and we are sure the tiny figure will get on great with Chopper. Of course, Franky will need to hang out with Sunny since he did build them the first time around. And as for where the ship-turned-pirate will go next, One Piece: Red will have to let us know when it debuts this fall.
