Luffy rides a snowboard with the large One Piece logo across it, wearing a winter coat and grinning toward the viewer while Chopper appears in the lower corner with winter gear. The page is promotional magazine cover art with Japanese cover text and not part of the chapter's in-story flashback, but it is useful extra material connected to the chapter release and the 1100th chapter celebration. Page 2: Color spread page. The Egghead-styled Straw Hat crew pose in bright futuristic gear around a large robot marked PACIFISTA 1, with the One Piece logo along the lower edge. Luffy, Nami, Chopper, Franky, Usopp, Vegapunk-like robot imagery, and other crew elements appear in a playful sci-fi composition. This is a full color celebratory illustration by Oda Eiichiro rather than a story page, but it is useful visual extra material attached to Chapter 1101. Page 3: The story opens three years ago at Mt. Colubo in the Kingdom of Goa, East Blue, labeled as Luffy's hometown. A sixteen-year-old Monkey D. Luffy trains in the forest, shouting "Gum-Gum" and smashing through huge rock formations with an attack. Kuma watches from a distance while Luffy yells "Aye!!" and keeps fighting wild animals. Luffy declares that after he sets sail and gets his crew, he will save that technique for a super strong enemy, calling it an awesome finishing move. Kuma quietly recognizes Dragon's connection to the boy and sees Luffy's determination from hiding. The chapter title printed across the page is "Chapter 1101: Dear Bonney," tying this side trip to Kuma's letters and the secret he keeps from Bonney. Page 4: Dragon and Kuma speak while looking over Foosha Village and the mountains of Dawn Island. Kuma asks whether Dragon is familiar with this island. Dragon says that when he went to stretch his legs earlier, he found a remote village on the outskirts and there was a young boy there. When Kuma keeps pressing him, Dragon coldly warns, "If you keep talking about this, you may as well kill me yourself." Kuma understands that a child is a parent's weak spot, and Dragon asks what he means. Kuma apologizes and says he will forget what he saw. Back in the forest, Luffy prepares to leave his huge rock crater behind, boasting that he will save the technique for a strong enemy after he has a crew. Kuma watches silently from behind the trees, realizing Dragon's concern is about his son. Page 5: Luffy continues training with beasts on Mt. Colubo, announcing that he has to be ready for when someone tries to take his friends away. He says he will never let that happen and that he will give the enemy a Gum-Gum Axe to the face: "Blam!!" He asks if that is pretty cool, while a monster grumbles and roars, and Luffy reassures himself, "Don't worry, I don't eat wimps!" Kuma watches, and Luffy suddenly senses him. A sound like "Ring..." and "Bing bing..." accompanies Kuma's presence or call. Luffy shivers, saying the strange feeling gave him the chills, then asks "Who's there?!" and decides there must still be tough opponents around. Kuma remains quiet, leaving Luffy to wonder while he keeps preparing to whoop everyone before he sets sail. Page 6: Kuma receives an urgent report at sea. Some pirates fled after raiding a nearby merchant ship, and the voices over the Den Den Mushi say the offenders came out of nowhere and need their wounds tended at the nearest hospital. Kuma is ordered to come in and asks what is going on, but the terrified pirates beg him to turn themselves in, saying they did not mean anything by it and will give everything back. The grateful victims tell Kuma that they thought they were going to die and that the rest of the victims should follow as soon as they can. Kuma resumes writing to Bonney: "Dear Bonney..." He longs to see her bright smiling face as she experiences the world's wonders for herself, and says the world is full of beauty that cannot be captured in photos or picture books. Page 7: Meanwhile in the Kingdom of Sorbet, Bonney waits impatiently for Kuma's letters. She asks over and over, "Is it here yet?" and even slams her face against the window while shouting the question. Alpha and Conney try to manage her expectations. Conney says one letter will turn up sooner or later, and Alpha says Kuma is probably very busy with work or the news coos are messing up. Bonney insists Daddy said he would write a whole bunch of letters. A bird arrives with a newspaper, and Alpha tells someone it is another heart...
