It is useful front matter for the volume's cast focus, but it does not advance the chapter narrative. Page 2: The volume title page reads "JUMP COMICS Volume 45: 'I CAN FEEL YA' ONE PIECE" and shows Luffy posed under a flag-like logo. It is useful volume metadata, not part of the story scene. Page 3: This page gives volume recap and character reference material for One Piece, summarizing the story and showing character cards for important figures and crews. It is useful contextual front matter, but not part of Chapter 431's present-time events. Page 4: The contents page identifies Volume 45 as "I CAN FEEL YA" and lists chapters 431 through 440, beginning with "Chapter 431: 'The Fist of Love'." This is useful volume metadata rather than story action. Page 6: The chapter begins with a color spread labeled "Chapter 431: 'THE FIST OF LOVE'." The Straw Hats pose in a wild animal-themed scene with the note, "THE GREAT ANIMAL CHOIR! RACOON! BADGER! SNAKE!! MONKEY! ME... TOOT! M-ME!! I TRIED TO PRESS UP A BIT!!" It is a decorative chapter opener, useful as extra art but not part of the plot.
