On the right side, there is an author's note from Eiichiro Oda, accompanied by a small, realistic drawing of an older man with a white beard wearing a hat. The note reads: 'DID YOU KNOW THAT A RECENT STUDY HAS SHOWN THAT JAPANESE YOUTHS HAVE HIGH READING SKILLS COMPARED TO THOSE OF OTHER COUNTRIES? ISN'T THAT INCREDIBLE? INCREDIBLE, RIGHT? AND DO YOU KNOW WHY? THE JAPANESE YOUTHS WHO HAVE PARTICULARLY GREAT READING SKILLS ARE THOSE WHO OFTEN READ MANGA. ISN'T THAT INNCRREEEDIIIBLEEE? WELL? EEZ IT NOT INCROYABLE?

It features the exact same illustration as the main cover, showing Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Usopp, Chopper, Vivi, and Karoo standing in profile. However, this version is rendered in a monochromatic sepia tone. A faint, antique-looking map of the world is visible in the background behind the characters.
