The second version depicts Luffy in his Film: Red outfit, with a giant, red-tinted portrait of Shanks behind him.
Author's Notes[]
|
It's Volume 4 Billion!! That's a huge number!! The number is based on Shanks' bounty. When I went to a Takoyaki shop in Osaka, it said "4,000,000 Yen" for six Takoyaki. When I gave the waitress 500 Yen, she said "Yes, your change is 100 Yen" and gave me 100 Yen. Osaka is a special town, which is rarely acknowledged in the world, isn't it? This is "HYPER INFLATION"!!! This means, Volume 4 billion begins!! |
