What is a Klabautermann?\" Facing Facing Nami asked suspiciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Klabautermann is a spirit that appears on a ship because the crew cares for each other and cherishes the ship. When the crew is close enough to the ship, the spirit will appear to repay the favor when the crew needs it,\" Iceberg explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Previously, this ship crashed through the dock gate, and appeared under the Judicial Tower from the front gate of Enies Lobby; it must have been the Klabautermann sensing the danger to its partners, so it sailed the ship to save you,\" Franky added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left all the Straw Hat Pirates stunned!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they burst into tears!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wuwuwu—the Merry has life too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Merry!
