One Piece Blue: Grand Data File

One Piece Blue: Grand Data File (ワンピース ブルー グランドデータファイル) is the second databook. It was released on August 2, 2002 and covers material from Volume 1 to Volume 24, comprising all of the East Blue Saga and Alabasta Saga and the beginnings of the Sky Island Saga.

While slightly shorter than its predecessor in length, One Piece Blue is much wider in scope, comprising two main sections:
 * Data File, indexing virtually every character in addition to every Devil fruit, animal, and island encountered thus far
 * Making of One Piece, collecting a considerable amount of behind-the-scenes material supplied directly by Eiichiro Oda

These are interspersed by installments of the Luffy Pirates Four-Panel Theater, a new feature placing the Straw Hat Pirates (and Vivi) in yonkoma gag strips.
