The SBS Question Corner opens with a decorative header reading "質問コーナー エス ビー エス". Miss Valentine appears on the right, laughing heartily while holding a Den Den Mushi, with a small pirate ship and a surprised man visible inside the snail's speech bubble. She declares, "KYAHAHAHAHA! START THE SBS!" A voice labeled D introduces her: "HELLO, EVERYONE! TODAY, MISS VALENTINE WILL START THE SBS IN PLACE OF ODA-SENSEI!! TAKE IT AWAY, MISS VALENTINE!!" Another voice labeled O responds nervously, "UH..." Miss Valentine then answers a question about the word "tempura," explaining it is Portuguese with no deeper meaning and that old Japanese simply transcribed foreign words phonetically. She encourages readers to ask anything unclear. The questioner O reacts with excitement: "WOW! KNOWLEDGEABLE HIMEKO KNOWS A LOT!!" and poses a detailed query about page 51 of volume 1, asking why Shanks' pirate flag has three lines that were not redrawn despite reader complaints, wondering if it carries a secret message about healing scars. At the bottom, three small panels show a black pirate flag with a skull and crossbones being altered, accompanied by Japanese text and arrows indicating changes to the design.
