ONE PIECE magazine: Episode 1000 《A5 Hobonichi Cousin Cover》

This item was made in collaboration with ONE PIECE magazine, a publication that dives deep into the world of the manga One Piece.
Complete with a Cover on Cover, this techo cover combines original artwork from Volume 99 of the manga, which includes the landmark 1000th chapter, with the full storyboard of “Chapter 1000: Monkey D. Luffy” published in ONE PIECE magazine Vol. 13.

On a light gray background reminiscent of a Jump Comics page, storyboard sketches drawn by creator Eiichiro Oda are printed in light blue. In addition, the finished, inked artwork is printed in black on a transparent Cover on Cover. By attaching or removing the Cover on Cover, you can enjoy two completely different looks.

Inscribed in English on the back of the Cover on Cover is the line, “I am Monkey D. Luffy. And I’m the man who will surpass you to be King of the Pirates!!!”

The right-hand inner pocket of the cover features the scene from Chapter 1000 in which Luffy faces off against Kaido and Big Mom. The left side has a clean, pocketless design bearing the collaboration logo for ONE PIECE magazine and the Hobonichi Techo.

No matter how powerful the enemy or how high the hurdle, Luffy always finds a way to overcome the challenges he faces, without ever losing faith. Spend the year alongside this cover, and you may just find yourself empowered by that same forward-looking energy day by day.
