00AI-written

The front cover of One Piece Volume 48 displays Monkey D. Luffy in the foreground, legs spread wide in a fighting stance, fists clenched and raised, mouth wide open in a fierce battle cry. Behind him towers a gigantic horned beast with a cracked skull face, flowing mane, and massive curved horns. Prominent logos read 'ONE PIECE' and 'JUMP COMICS'. The author's name 'Eiichiro Oda' appears at the bottom along with the Japanese volume title '巻四十八オーズの冒険'. Barcodes, ISBN 978-4-08-874442-1, price '定価本体390円+税', and Jump Comics branding occupy the right side. A small inset of the monster's face appears near the spine.

A variant cover of One Piece Volume 48 shows the same central illustration of Luffy shouting with clenched fists in front of the massive horned skull-faced beast, now rendered in muted tones. The right half features a detailed world map background with labeled seas and islands. Spine text repeats 'ONE PIECE', volume number, and author 'Eiichiro Oda'. Jump Comics logos and publisher marks appear alongside faint map labels such as 'AMERICA SIVE IN DIA NOVA' and 'MAR DEL SUR'. Small running figures are visible at the bottom right of the map area.

The Jump Comics logo sits at the top left beside a small skull icon. A large One Piece title banner unfurls across the upper half of the page, held by a tiny pirate-hatted bird perched on the curling edge. Below, the Straw Hat crew strikes a bold group pose. Monkey D. Luffy stands front and center with arms crossed and a wide grin. To his left, Nico Robin smiles calmly while Usopp leans forward with a tense expression. Chopper in his hat towers behind them with mouth open. Nami stands beside Luffy, and Franky looms on the right with a massive open-mouthed shout, his metal arm raised high in a fist. The bottom of the image declares VOLUME 48: "OZ'S ADVENTURE".

A dense recap page titled THE STORY OF ONE PIECE runs down the left column. It reads: IT IS THE AGE OF PIRATES... LUFFY... CHARGING INTO THE "GRAND LINE"... THE GHOST ISLAND, "THRILLER BARK"... AT THE SAME TIME, LUFFY'S GROUP... LUFFY AND THE OTHERS AWOKE AND LEARNED OF BROOK'S PAST... LUFFY SWORE TO MAKE HIM JOIN THE CREW... The central section profiles Thriller Bark figures: GECKO MORIA (FORMER SHICHIBUKAI), DOCTOR HOGBACK, GRAVEYARD ABSALOM, PERONA, VICTORIA CINDRY, HILDON, and RED-HAIRED SHANKS. Shadow-stealing panels label "DEMON" OZ, JIGOROU OF THE WIND, INUPPE, and SAMURAI RYUMA. The right column introduces the Strawhat crew with portraits and descriptions for MONKEY D. LUFFY, RORONOA ZORO, NAMI, USOPP, SANJI, TONY TONY CHOPPER, NICO ROBIN, and FRANKY.

This is the table of contents page for One Piece volume 48, subtitled "OZ'S ADVENTURE". The page lists upcoming chapters with their starting page numbers. Chapter 460 is titled GET 'EM BACK BEFORE DAWN!! and begins on page 7. Subsequent chapters include 461: GHOST BUSTER on page 27, 462: OZ'S ADVENTURE on page 47, 463: PIRATE SANJI VS ENIGMA ABSALOM on page 67, 464: SANJI'S DREAM on page 86, 465: PIRATE USOPP VS PRINCESS PERONA on page 107, 466: THE CONCLUSION on page 127, 467: PIRATE ZORO VS SAMURAI RYUMA on page 146, 468: PIRATE CHOPPER VS ENIGMA HOGBACK on page 167, 469: COME ON OUT, STRAWHATs!! on page 187, and 470: OZ VS THE STRAWHAT CREW on page 207. A decorative chain border and a small illustrated flintlock pistol appear at the bottom.

The chapter title page displays "Chapter 460: GET 'EM BACK BEFORE DAWN!!" in bold lettering. Below it, a large splash illustration shows Enel standing against a starry void. He wears his signature headphones with three attached spheres marked by three-circle patterns, a long white sash, black belt, and loose white pants. His muscular torso is bare. In his right hand he holds a long golden staff topped with a spherical ornament, while his left hand is raised near his face in a pointing gesture. Debris and shattered structures float around him in the background. At the bottom of the image a caption reads: ENEL'S GREAT SPACE MISSION VOL.26: "INSOLENCE!"

High above the towering, chained structures of Thriller Bark, the crew stares at the colossal zombie looming in the distance. A voice notes, "FINDING THE ZOMBIES THAT HAVE OUR SHADOWS. YOU KNOW, WE MIGHT HAVE SOME PROBLEMS..." Chopper shouts in alarm, "IT'S AT LEAST TWICE THE SIZE OF NORMAL GIANTS!! I DON'T EVEN THINK THAT YOU GUYS CAN BEAT IT." Usopp adds, "YEAH...!! AND REALLY, LUFFY'S ZOMBIE IS HUGE!!!" with sound effects "ゴゴゴ..." echoing. Sanji turns sharply, "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUTI WE CAN'T STEP INTO THE SUN LIKE THIS." Nami replies, "EVEN THOUGH I WANT TO SEE MINE...WE DON'T HAVE TO LOOK FOR OUR ZOMBIES!" In the lower panel Luffy stands determined before the roaring giant zombie, declaring, "THAT IF WE BEAT GECKO MORIA, WE'LL ALL GET OUR SHADOWS BACK! YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO WIN AGAINST MORIA!!" The zombie growls furiously as Luffy finishes, "YEAH, BUT... THAT ZOMBIE GUY SAID..." with a shocked "!!I" from the side.

Outside the THRILLER BAR entrance, the crew reacts in surprise. Someone murmurs, "...TOUCHÉ." Zoro questions, "HE... DID MORIA SAY THAT." with a floating "...I" Chopper stares wide-eyed. Luffy grins excitedly, "GONNA GO KICK MORIA'S BUTT!!" and "YEAH, SO I'M..." A panel shows the massive building as voices call, "WHOA!! YOU'RE RIGHT!!!" and "AND MORIA'S JUST UP THOSE STAIRS, RIGHTI" Luffy pumps his fist, "I'LL KICK HIS INVISIBLE BUTT TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS FOG!!!" Sanji shouts, "SANJI, YOU GO SAVE NAMI! AND WE'LL ALL GET OUR SHADOWS BACK." Nami yells back, "YOU'RE NOT GETTING MARRIED TODAY!!!" with impact effects and "HECK YEAH!" as Luffy charges forward.

A massive explosion erupts as a figure begins to transform amid swirling smoke and impact lines. Someone warns, "DON'T EXCITE HIM ANYMORE. HE'S ABOUT TO TRANSFORM INTO SOMETHING." Usopp's face twists in shock as he screams, "WHAAAAAAT!!!I" A voice adds, "I FORGOT TO SAY THIS, BUT THAT INVISIBLE GUY TOOK A LONG LOOK AT NAMI WHILE SHE WAS TAKING A SHOWER." Usopp shouts desperately, "SO I'M GOING WITH YOU!! AND I DON'T WANT TO MEET THE SHICHIBUKAI EVER AGAIN!!!" He continues, sweat flying, "I FEEL RESPONSIBLE FOR NAMI BEING TAKEN RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES." Franky stands with arms crossed, replying calmly, "I WANT TO SEE THIS LEGENDARY SAMURAI'S ZOMBIE. I'LL GO WITH YOU, FRANKY." The long-haired man adjusts his sunglasses and states, "ALSO, IF LUFFY BEATS MORIA FIRST, THEN THAT'S THAT. I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE SKELETON, SO I'M GONNA GO THERE! BUT IT'D BE IRONIC IF HE LOSES TO HIS OWN SHADOW BEFORE THEN." SFX like "SOBI" and "ZAA..." punctuate the tense discussion.

Chopper yells with wide eyes, "YOU GUYS SAY IT LIKE IT'S REALLY EASY, BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ONE OF THE SHICHIBUKAI HERE!!!" Nami stands composed and replies, "THOSE TWO ARE OUR IMMEDIATE PROBLEMS... AND THEN, THE KEY TO WINNING THIS IS TO BEAT MORIA. NAMI AND THE SKELETON." Luffy, seen from behind in his straw hat, says, "IT'S FINE. HE'S BASICALLY THE SAME AS CROCODILE, RIGHTI" as a massive zombie looms in the background with roaring SFX. Someone warns, "AND... WE'VE SAID THIS A LOT, BUT YOUR ZOMBIE IS HUGE!! CAN YOU PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!!! AND YOU ALMOST DIED!!" Luffy answers, "OKAY, OKAY." The skeleton in a top hat protests, "YOU PEOPLE HAVE NO SENSE OF DANGER, SO I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW!!" Luffy pulls out a small bag and declares, "IT'S MY NEW INVENTION, THE 'RAISE-THE-ZOMBIES-UP-TO-HEAVEN SALT BALL!!!' HUHI EVERYBODY TAKE A BAG. OKAY, HERE." SFX and reactions fill the chaotic scene.

The crew debates their deadline amid the fog. "...SO THINK OF DAWN AS OUR TIME LIMIT!! IT'S SAFE BECAUSE IT'S MIDNIGHT RIGHT NOW!! BUT THERE'S NO GUARANTEE THAT THE SUN WON'T SHINE THROUGH!! THIS PLACE IS SURROUNDED BY DEEP FOG," they conclude. Luffy clenches his fist and roars with fierce determination, "LET'S GO MAKE GECKO MORIA REGRET... EVER PICKING A FIGHT WITH US!!!" A crewmate agrees, "YOU'RE RIGHT. I HATE THAT I'M NOT EATING ANYTHING UNTIL DAWN!!!" From the deck below, Nami's desperate voice rings out, "NAMI-SAAAAAN!!!" The others rally, "YOU MEAN GET OUR SHADOWS BACK BEFORE DAWN!!! LET'S GO!" "WHAT-EVER!!! YEAH!!!" "WE'LL GET TWICE OUR FOOD BACK BEFORE DAWN!!!" The Thousand Sunny and distant structures loom in the background as the group prepares to move.

A massive skeletal giant unleashes a thunderous roar, "WHOOOOO OAAAA!!!" with explosive impact lines and onomatopoeia shaking the page. A long-haired figure clings to a mast, exclaiming, "I DIDN'T KNOW THIS WAS A SHIP!!! I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING THOUGH." Below, a small round zombie mutters, "... WHERE'S OZ NOWI" while another voice declares with excitement, "BUT MY LIFE IS GOING TO BE AWESOME. I'M GONNA BE THE PIRATE KING WITH THIS SHIP!!" The massive Thriller Bark sails into view, its sails emblazoned with the name, as the chaotic scene unfolds across the foggy waters.

Amid the rubble of a crumbling stone fortress, panicked voices ring out as debris flies. "HE'S TOO DANGEROUS!!!" "IF THAT DAY-DREAMING THING IS WANDERING AROUND THE ISLAND!!" "BU-BUT, MASTER!! WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING..." "HE CLIMBED UP THE MAST, MASTER." A young woman with pigtails and a crown-like hat stares wide-eyed from the side, replying calmly, "IT'LL BE FINE." Below, Hogback's stitched face looms in close-up, laughing wildly with jagged teeth: "WE CAN MAKE EVEN MORE SPECIAL ZOMBIES NOW!! KISHISHISHI!" "WE CAN GET THE SHADOWS OF EVEN MORE POWERFUL PEOPLE. NOW THAT WE HAVE OZ," he declares. In the lower level, a masked figure with a long beak-like nose and a bandaged creature react in alarm as distant figures stand near a railing. "WE HAVE A PROBLEM...!!!" "WHAT IS IT, HILDONI" "HO... HOGBACK-SAMA!!!" The masked figure reassures, "LEAVE IT TO ME, MASTER. FOSFOSFOS." Another voice adds, "WE'RE GONNA NEED BETTER MARIOS, HOGBACK."

Panic spreads through the castle halls. "I THINK THEIR FELLOWS WOKE THEM UP!!" "WHAT!I THEY SHOULDN'T BE WAKING UP THIS SOON!!" "THE THREE GUYS WHO LOST THEIR SHADOWS WOKE UP, AND THEY'RE ALL COMING OVER HERE." A large man in a plaid coat stands with arms crossed as small figures react with "..." and "!I". Nearby, a horned zombie-like figure exclaims, "THEY ALL KNOW HOW TO PURIFY ZOMBIES!!" while another adds, "NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT..." A small creature gasps, "WHAT!I". The masked figure continues, "I THINK HE'S FILLED THEM IN....THEY SEEM TO HAVE SOME SORT OF CONNECTION WITH HUMMING." In the grand hall below, zombies flee in terror down a staircase and across the floor amid dust clouds and impact marks. "AND THEY'RE JUST RUNNING AROUND...!!!" "....!!!" A voice concludes, "SO THE ZOMBIES ARE NOW ALL AFRAID OF THEM."

In a grand, ruined cathedral hall filled with armored zombies and wedding decorations, panicked voices erupt. "WHAT THE HELL IS ABSALOM DOING!I" someone shouts. Another orders, "GO GET THE GENERAL ZOMBIES!!! THEY CAN FIGHT THE PIRATES WITHOUT SALT BEING SHOVED DOWN THEIR THROATS!!!" A stitched-face figure with a long nose and topknot, Absalom, yells in distress: "THE WILD ZOMBIES, THE SURPRISE ZOMBIES, AND SOLDIER ZOMBIES... COULDN'T EVEN MATCH THEM WHEN THEY DIDN'T HAVE SALT." In the background, a massive stained-glass window and pipe organ loom over rows of seated zombies. "ARE ATTENDING THE CEREMONY... SO... MOST OF THE GENERAL ZOMBIES... HIS WEDDING IS ABOUT TO START." A furious voice bellows, "THOSE IDIOTS!!!" Below, Absalom sweats and protests, "I DON'T HAVE TIME TO DANCE!!!" while Hogback, the bat-winged doctor, smirks and replies, "YES, A WEDDING IS VERY MEMORABLE, SO IT'S GOOD TO HAVE SOMETHING AMUSING. THAT HE WANTS YOU TO DO YOUR BELLY DANCE AT THE PARTY AN HOUR FROM NOW. OH, AND HE TOLD ME TO TELL YOU..."

Perona floats in a corridor, laughing "HORO HORO HORO HORO..." as she tells a subordinate, "YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK HIM TO DO ANYTHING. I CAN'T OBJECT TO ABSALOM-SAMA IN MY CURRENT POSITION." From a balcony overlooking the ceremony hall, a voice commands, "GO STOP THAT RIDICULOUS THING!!!" Perona continues, "THEN THE SOLDIER ZOMBIES CAN EASILY CATCH THEM. DON'T BE AGITATED JUST BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE WEAKNESS OF THE ZOMBIES. I'LL WEAKEN THEM WITH MY GHOSTS." She turns to her massive bear zombie Kumashi and says, "COME, KUMASHI!! I'LL BE IN MY ROOM." Kumashi replies, "O..." while Absalom and Hogback discuss in the background: "SO WHY DON'T YOU GO GET THE REST OF THEIR SHADOWS! I'LL GET THEM ALL HERE." A small voice mutters, "You should stew Kumashi's nails and drink it." Hogback answers, "...SHE'S RIGHT... I'M GLAD TO HAVE HER WITH US."

In the upper hall of the castle, a massive round figure with a tall hat stands before an arched window as bats fly past. A voice says, "Oh... okay. That's boring..." Another replies, "Well... you wouldn't have done anything anyway." From the side, someone adds, "I... guess everything's fine, sir." The large figure slumps with a disappointed "がっかり". In the next panel a masked, stitched-face man with a long beak-like nose grins widely and declares, "So I'd like two zombies for myself...!!!" A stern face beside him answers, "Alright, but that idiot Absalom... seems a little indisposed." The masked man continues, "I'll be here for a while. I want to play with Oz for a little bit." The scene cuts to the castle exterior where a violent explosion erupts from the towers: "ドゴーンボカァン!!" A scream rings out, "GYAAAA".

Luffy bursts through the wreckage in a furious rampage, fists flying as debris and zombies scatter. He roars, "GIVE ME BACK MY FOOD!!!" and "WHERE'S MORIA!!!I" while smashing everything in reach. Impact sounds explode around him: "GYAA AAA!!" and "GUAA AA!!" A massive black leg kicks through the chaos as Luffy yells, "WHICH ONE OF YOU IS THE PIECE OF SHIT... THAT WAS PEEKING AT NAMI-SAN!!I" Below, other fighters race up a staircase amid smoke and motion lines. One shouts, "THERE ARE FIVE COMING TO THE DANCE HALL!!!" Another wonders, "I wonder if they care about the shadows." A voice answers, "Yeah, I guess we don't need salt for now." The last speaker adds, "They're filled to the brim with anger, ehI"

Signs mark the split paths inside the castle: one arrow points "To Moria's dance hall" listing Luffy, Sanji, Usopp, Chopper and Robin, while another reads "To Perona's room" showing Zoro and Franky. "WE CAN'T HOLD EITHER GROUP!!!" a voice cries as the structure shakes. "AND TWO ARE BELOW THE BRIDGE!!!" another warns amid flying debris. Below the bridge, Sanji clashes violently with a hulking opponent in a storm of motion lines and impact bursts; massive SFX "ドゴゴゴン!!" and "＋－!!" explode across the panel while the foe howls "GIAAA AA!!". In tight close-ups the scarred fighter snarls, "HELL NO!!!" then continues, "YOU CAN CALL ME ANIKI. AND I RESCUED YOU. SO IF YOU WANT," followed by "I SICKEN MYSELF...!!!" and "TO THINK I ACTUALLY GOT TAKEN BY THESE WEAKLINGS."

Panic erupts as ghosts swarm the area. "WHAT HAPPENED!!I" voices shout while Luffy and Sanji are called out. A terrified woman exclaims "...!! OH... NO...!!!" and "WHAT!I WHAT HAPPENEDI" Nearby figures moan "MY EYEBROW IS TOO TWIRLY. I SHOULD DIE RIGHT NOW..." and "I WANT TO BE A MOSQUITO LARVA... THERE'S NO HOPE. IF I'M REINCARNATED..." A large panel shows the group overwhelmed; someone yells "NAMARI BOSHI!!!" as the warning "I DON'T KNOW HOW TO REVERSE IT...!!!" rings out. "IT'S THOSE GHOSTS!! THEY MAKE YOU DEPRESSED BY TOUCHING YOU!!" another cries. "THEY GOT CAUGHT!!! WHY!!I" "WE GOT THEM!!!" the zombies cheer. On the tower ledge a pirate bellows "SET SAIL." while below the deck the crew screams "NOOOO!!! WE HAVE TO GET AWAY!!!" "WE'LL BE FINISHED IF WE GET TOUCHED!!!" and "HURRY!! WE HAVE TO CARRY THEM!!" as more ghosts close in.

A massive stitched giant zombie with horns and wild hair plummets through the air, roaring as it smashes into a towering stone fortress. The impact shatters walls and towers in a massive explosion of debris. Small panels on the left show panicked reactions: Usopp yells "USOPP!!!" as he and others tumble, while Sanji shouts "SANJI!!!" amid the chaos. Voices cry out "UWAA AAA!!!" and "WE'RE GONNA FALL!!!" as the structure collapses. The giant zombie lands with a thunderous "ゴゴゴゴォ...!!!" and "ボゴォォォ!!!", crushing buildings beneath its feet. It mutters a simple "AH" as rubble flies everywhere.

Usopp and Sanji stand amid the ruins, staring up at a massive black wall that has appeared. Usopp exclaims, "WE'RE AT A DEAD END. WHAT IS THIS WALL......!I" Sanji replies, "YEAH, SEE, THERE'S THIS WALL... THAT'S NOT A WALL!!!" Nearby figures react in shock: "WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING!!I" and "WEAPONS LEFT!!!" The giant zombie looms over them, roaring as it attacks. Voices shout "IS LUFFY'S ZOMBIE!!!" and "THAT THING..." while others yell "WHAAAAT!!!I" and "THE STAIRS ARE TOTALLY GONE!!!" The fortress continues to crumble with loud "オオオオオオオオ...!!!" sounds as everyone realizes they are trapped.

This is the SBS page. At the top, a banner shows a smiling woman resembling Boa Hancock on the left, a small grinning figure in the center, and a wild-haired, shouting man on the right with the title 'SBS'. Reader R (Tani-san) writes: 'DING DONG, SPECIAL DELIVERY! WE RECEIVED YOUR APPLICATION THE OTHER DAY, AND WE'VE COME TO DELIVER YOUR ADULT BOOK.

Another reader asks about the 'FAMILY' song line from the Straw Hat Pirates, wondering who would be the father and mother. Oda answers that 'FAMILY' was shown on TV and assigns roles: DAD: FRANKY (HOODLUM) MOM: ROBIN FIRST SON: ZORO SECOND SON: SANJI (DELINQUENT) FIRST DAUGHTER: NAMI THIRD SON: USOPP FOURTH SON: LUFFY YOUNGEST SON: CHOPPER. A final reader asks for Fire Fist Ace's measurements and suggests his birthday be January 1st. Oda replies: 'BECAUSE THE ACE IN A DECK OF CARDS IS 1, RIGHTI THAT'LL DO FINE. HE'S AROUND 185 CM TALL.' Small illustrations of a pirate flag and Ace accompany the letters. Page number 26 appears at the bottom right.
