Trivia
- There is an original illustration of Luffy on page 7 of this volume.
- Due to this volume being published right after the Great East Japan Earthquake, there is a hidden alternate front cover for this volume that features an illustration of the Straw Hat Pirates sending out words of encouragement to the earthquake victims.
- Because the alternate front cover of this volume was taken up by this illustration, the title logo for the series had to be moved to the back alternate cover of this volume; hence making this the first volume to not have the One Piece logo printed on its alternate front cover.
- The alternate cover easter egg series still continues on in this volume, with an unnamed easteregg and Pandaman being featured.
