Ace's Great Blackbeard Search

Ace's Great Blackbeard Search (エースの黒ひげ大捜査線) is the sixth Mini-Series created as side stories on the title pages of each One Piece chapter.

Short Summary
During the course of his travels to find Blackbeard, Ace befriends the milk maiden Moda after she saves his life, and in return, infiltrates the naval base G-2 to deliver a message to Vice Admiral Comil. During his undercover stint, he inadvertently helps reunite Moda with her parents, and acquires information on Blackbeard].

Although it was never animated, a reference to the arc can briefly be seen in the newspaper read by Crocus in Episode 381, which shows Moda with her family and Vice Admiral Comil drinking milk.
